Chapter 446 Deciding to Let Go
"You haven't lost your memory... President, do you mean you're faking it? Why?" Quan Xinyu was also stunned.
“I didn’t want to say this, but now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to tell you. I never expected her to do this. She really… doesn’t care about our past relationship at all. I knew this accident was a turning point. When I woke up, I had a lot of expectations, but when I heard Niu Niu tell me that Mommy went to work, all my expectations and plans vanished. But I was unwilling to accept it, so I pretended to have amnesia. Who knew it would be even worse? I can only say that she really wants to cut ties with me and will never forgive me in this lifetime.”
"President..." Quan Xinyu felt extremely distressed after hearing about the situation.
He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't heard it with his own ears; it seems President He is truly at his wit's end.
"Has the car accident case been handled? Has the perpetrator been found?" He Yi suddenly asked.
Quan Xinyu was taken aback, then reported, "Xiao Lin has been handling it. On the third day, they found the driver, but he said he was mentally unstable and that he hit someone because he had a mental breakdown that day. Since there is no other evidence, the police can only temporarily classify it as an accident."
"An accident?"
"Yes, even Xiao Lin couldn't find any other reason. I guess it might really be the case."
"Not necessarily." He Yi shook his head, pondered for a moment with a serious expression, and instructed, "Have someone investigate Liu Yueqin and Su Zhihe in China."
"Liu Yueqin and Su Zhihe? President, you suspect they're behind this?" Quan Xinyu couldn't help but recall that He Yi had asked him to investigate Gu Zhiyao's biological father and stepmother. Aunt Zhang had told Gu Zhiyao that her mother might have been framed by Su Zhihe and Liu Yueqin. Aunt Zhang had always wanted to find out the truth, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she even took Gu Zhiyao to the opening ceremony of the supermarket.
He had been so preoccupied with He Yi's illness lately that he had forgotten about this incident, and hadn't even considered that the car accident was related to them.
Quan Xinyu immediately went to inquire with the investigators, but they said that they had not found anything unusual about them so far.
He Yi didn't give up and continued to instruct Quan Xinyu, "Book me a flight back to China the day after tomorrow, and you can come with me."
"Booking plane tickets, Mr. President, you mean you're going back to China? But..."
“My illness is probably over. I will have Li Xin follow up on the situation here. I will personally investigate the situation in China. Since you said that you haven’t found anything unusual about them yet, it means that they are more cunning than we thought, and those dangers have not been eliminated. We must find them as soon as possible to prevent them from harming Gu Zhiyao a second time.”
Quan Xinyu suddenly realized, "Then Gu Zhiyao..."
He Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I have two plans. First, of course, I hope that she and I can get back together. Second, I am prepared to let go."
"You...you want to let go?"
"Yes, she hasn't been moved for so long. Maybe our fate is really like this. She rushed out that day without paying attention to her surroundings because of an argument with me. In the end, I'm the one who caused her to be like this. I don't want such an accident to happen again in the future, so I thought I'd give her a peaceful life."
"Uh, President, this has nothing to do with you. It was Liu Yueqin who arranged for people to hurt her."
“This time it was Liu Yueqin, but it also made me see these hidden dangers. What about next time? So I don’t want to gamble anymore. You book the plane tickets.” He Yi finished speaking and closed his eyes.
Although he has a strong ability to recover, he has only just woken up and his physical strength in all aspects is still limited.
Seeing the exhaustion emanating from him, Quan Xinyu felt a pang of heartache and sadness. After a moment, he said, "Okay, I understand. I'll arrange it right away."
After that, Gu Zhiyao stopped appearing at the hospital, and even Chenchen and Niu Niu didn't come. Although He Yi had prepared himself mentally, he still found it hard to accept and became even more disheartened.
Quan Xinyu didn't know how to comfort them. After thinking for a moment, he said, "President, should we say goodbye to Chenchen and Niuniu? Perhaps I can ask Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin is quite reasonable. He should be able to arrange for Chenchen and Niuniu to meet you."
"No need. Since I've already pretended to have amnesia, I can't talk to them much anyway, so there's no need to make things difficult for them."
Quan Xinyu looked at He Yi's resolute expression. He knew that He Yi's heart was not as calm as he appeared. But once He Yi made up his mind, it was not something he could change. All he had to do was obey orders and arrange everything properly.
Unbeknownst to them, Gu Zhiyao and Niu Niu were having an unprecedented argument.
After leaving the hospital yesterday, Gu Zhiyao forbade herself to think about anything related to He Yi and cut ties with him completely. Therefore, she didn't even let Chenchen and Niuniu go to the hospital.
Niu Niu cried and made a fuss, insisting on seeing her father. Tonight, she even lashed out at Gu Zhiyao. Gu Zhiyao then remembered how Niu Niu had always sided with He Yi when it came to her and He Yi. Feeling annoyed, Gu Zhiyao's anger flared up as well.
“From the moment you existed until your birth, he knew nothing about you and didn’t care. If I hadn’t tried so hard to keep you a secret, do you think you would have had the chance to come into this world and live such a good life? I am the most important person in your life, but how have you treated me? Xiao Yuxin, you are a heartless ingrate!”
"Furthermore, it doesn't matter how you treated him before, but now he doesn't even remember you. This just proves that he never cared about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have forgotten you. People who are truly in your heart will never be forgotten no matter what happens. Forgetting someone only means that they don't mean much to him and are dispensable to him! And you are one of them!"
This was probably the harshest thing Gu Zhiyao had ever said to her daughter.
Although the two had argued fiercely about He Yi before, they had never spoken so directly and aggressively.
Niu Niu's face turned deathly pale instantly, her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her mother.
Gu Zhiyao's rationality returned slightly from her extreme state. Looking at the little girl whose body was trembling, she instinctively reached out her hand.
"Mom, I hate you! You're just making things up. Dad isn't like that at all. He clearly said I'm his little darling, the most important person in his life. So, you're lying! You don't like Dad, so you're deliberately slandering him. I won't fall for your tricks. I'll go find him myself. I want to hear him say for himself that he's not like that! He's not like that!"
Niu Niu's angry roar shattered the silence.
Her eyes were already brimming with tears. She glared angrily at Gu Zhiyao, then turned and ran angrily out of the room.
But Chenchen stopped her at the door.
Chenchen also overheard what her mother said to her younger sister, and was utterly shocked.
My mother is gentle and loving, and she especially dotes on my younger sister. Although she often quarrels with my sister because of my father, she always loves my sister and even loves her more than he does.
But today, my mother actually said these words to my younger sister!
