When Du Huanyi woke up, it was already 9: 30. Her class time was also 8: 30.
She got up unhurriedly and pulled open the heavy curtain. The warm morning sun shone on the pure white bed and it was very dazzling.
"Miss, what would you like for breakfast?" The maid lightly knocked on the door and pushed it open. Seeing that Du Huanyi had already woken up, she respectfully greeted her with a question.
Du Huanyi rubbed her eyes and replied in unpracticed Italian, "Whatever, the sooner the better. Teacher is already here, right?"
"Yes, she has been waiting for an hour."
"I have to hurry." she said to herself.
Du Huanyi had woken up in the hospital a dozen days ago. At that time, there was a refined and handsome middle-aged man by her side.
The man told her that she was his daughter and that she had lost her memory when she fell into the water and hit her head.
The man even told her her her name was Du Huanyi, but the three words' Shi Xingcan 'kept appearing in her head from time to time.
She had asked her father who 'Shi Xingcan' was, and her father had told her that 'Shi Xingcan' was her best friend. In order to save her, she had drowned in the water.
Du Huanyi felt that she should pay her respects to her friend, but her father refused to let her go to the cemetery for fear that she would be provoked.
Du Huanyi would sometimes wonder why she even forgot to use the language here. At the very least, she had lived here for more than ten years.
After thinking for a long time, he voiced his doubts.
Her father had told her that she had grown up in the country with her mother, that she had learned Italian later, and that she had forgotten it.
Even though Du Huanyi was doubtful, she didn't think too much about it. Her father wouldn't lie to her.
After hurriedly finishing breakfast, Du Huanyi walked into her 'classroom', which her father had specially prepared for her.
The projector podium blackboard was everything, even more complete than the usual university facilities, and she was the only one in the class.
"Miss Dean, you are late again." The amiable middle-aged teacher lifted his head from the book and glanced at her, his tone calm.
Du Huanyi playfully stuck out her tongue before saying coquettishly, "If the maid doesn't wake me up, I'm sorry, Teacher."
The teacher only gently smiled and said, "Since you're here, don't waste your time. Today you'll have two hours of lessons."
Du Huanyi nodded her head obediently and sat in her seat to listen attentively.
Although she was Du Ming's daughter, she did not have the airs of a young miss.
Apart from the times when he would be late, there was hardly anything wrong with him.
Du Huanyi was extremely intelligent. Even though she lost her memory due to a brain injury, she wasn't affected in the slightest.
She didn't need to waste too much energy. In just a month, she could already speak Italian as if it was nothing.
At least he wouldn't show any fear when he went out.
After the end of the lesson, Du Huanyi thanked the teacher with a smile.
It just so happened that Du Ming would come over at this time.
He exchanged a few words with his teacher about Du Huanyi's studies and nodded his head in satisfaction. After getting the butler to send off the teacher, he asked Du Huanyi, "Your studies haven't been too bad lately. Do you have any gifts you would like?"
Du Huanyi smiled as she blinked, asking, "Father, is this a reward?"
Du Ming nodded his head, and smiled gently yet elegantly: "Of course you have your rewards to reward for your hard work in learning."
Although this was Italy, their father's and daughter's conversation was always in Chinese. According to Du Ming's words, this was his mother tongue, a language that he could not throw away.
Du Huanyi blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I've made up my mind."
Du Ming knew that she never liked money and jewelry, so he smiled and asked: Can I give you a house?
"Dad, do you want me to move out alone?" Du Huanyi lowered her gaze and asked somewhat sorrowfully.
"Of course not." Du Ming let his daughter hold his wrist, and the two of them walked towards the direction of the restaurant, "Daddy only wanted you to have a better life after daddy passes."
Of course, Du Huanyi knew that wasn't what he meant. She lowered her head and gave a self-deprecating laugh. Sometimes, she was just being too sensitive.
At the dining table, Du Huanyi asked Du Ming as per usual, "How's father's business recently?"
Du Ming gracefully put a piece of beef into his mouth and said: "I want to expand the Asian market."
Du Huanyi answered with an 'oh' and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Have you decided on a company to work with?"
"The first choice is the Qin family, but I heard that Qin Yanmo is a man with a cold personality, I don't know if it's good to communicate with him." Du Ming frowned, he seemed to be troubled, "But the Qin family is the best place to open up their domestic market."
"Little Huan, what's wrong?" Du Ming, who was minding his own business, didn't get a reply from Du Huanyi for a long time. When he raised his eyes, he found her sitting in his seat in a daze, staring at the wall in front of him without any reaction for a long time.
Du Huanyi blinked, recovered from her shock and looked at Du Ming. She smiled and said, "It's fine, my heart skipped a beat just now."
Du Ming's eyes darkened, and in the next moment he was back to normal.
He knew better than anyone how Du Huanyi had come here. He lowered his gaze to hide the grief in his eyes. Even if it was only for a few months, it was fine. Let him and his daughter stay together. He had been alone for too long …
After dinner, Du Huanyi went out to the courtyard to bask in the sun by herself.
Even though it was already a cool autumn day, the midday sun was still very bright. Du Huanyi covered her face with the book and enjoyed the warm sunlight with her eyes closed.
Qin Yanmo...
Was it when he heard this name that his heartbeat quickened?
Did she know him before she lost her memories?
As she thought about it, Du Huanyi fell asleep.
Anyway, his dad would always see Qin Yanmo when he goes out to negotiate business, so he might as well ask him when the time comes.
Qu Zhong was currently standing at the entrance of the time home, and under Su Qing's orders, the two security guards at the entrance looked at him coldly, with the aura of "if you dare to enter, I'll pinch you to death".
Thinking back to two years ago, he was the young master of Qu Family who loved everyone, the second son-in-law of the time home.
In the past, Shi Xingcan was still the daughter of the time home, but now, she had become the Madam Qin. She didn't know if Shi Jun would regret treating Shi Xingcan like that back then, but he was extremely regretful now.
Su Qing was standing in the kitchen on the first floor making tea for Shi Jun. Following her usual habit of adding honey and medicine, she carried the teacup up and went upstairs.
Shi Jun was currently chatting with his new girlfriend in his study. According to him, 'Since you won't be able to give birth to your baby anyway, why don't you let me find a woman to give birth to instead?
Su Qing's heart had already died a long time ago, so she turned a blind eye to his actions.
"Have some tea."
Shi Jun glanced at her but did not say a word as he took the teacup.
Before leaving, when Su Qing heard his cough, she squeezed out a sinister smile, and disappeared when she turned her head around. She said to Shi Jun worriedly: "If you're sick, go to the hospital and check.
If it was before, Shi Jun might have listened to him obediently, but now, Shi Jun was in a relationship with a twenty year old female university student, and the person who reminded him that he hated the most was Su Qing.
Before leaving, Su Qing seemed to have thought of something and said to Shi Jun: "Qu Zhong is here, I will send people to kick him out."
"Alright." Shi Jun replied indifferently.
The Qu Family was already bankrupt, so Qu Zhong was just a stranger on the street. It didn't matter if Su Qing invited him in or chased him out, as long as he didn't steal anything.
When Su Qing walked out of the study, the smile on her face grew wider and wider. It was good to be brave, but she would die faster if she died.
He stroked his slightly disheveled hair with his hands and walked down the stairs as he looked at Qu Zhong in disdain, and mocked: "I was wondering who was causing a ruckus downstairs, so it's Young Master Qu."
Qu Zhong stared at Su Qing who was in front of him with unfriendly eyes, and suddenly laughed, and said: "Shi Mengxi is pregnant with my child, as her father, I will definitely come and take a look."
Suddenly, he was stabbed in the heart, causing Su Qing to lose the thought of continuing to deal with him. He raised his voice and scolded: "Chase him out!"
Qu Zhong laughed and waved his hand, "There's no need to trouble Madam Shi, I can walk by myself."
Su Qing looked at him warily, her eyes filled with enmity. He left just like that? Then what was the purpose of his visit?
She gave a look to the security guards on both sides, who immediately stepped forward to stop her.
Qu Zhong rolled his eyes and said to Su Qing: "Mistress Shi, are you secretly in love with me? "He's going to scold me and stop me, just like my 20-year-old girlfriend."
With that, she looked at Su Qing's face and voluptuous figure, which was already a little old, with no way to hide her dress.
With a tone full of contempt, he said, "If you can't stand the loneliness anymore, you should look for someone around the same age. I don't think we'll be able to reunite."
"Get the hell over here!" Su Qing roared, she led the way and entered the house.
Qu Zhong snorted, provokingly looked at the security guard who blocked his way, and walked into the house with Su Qing.
Su Qing sat on the sofa with her chin raised slightly, and with a haughty attitude: "Speak, what do you want?"
"I don't know why, I just want to know where Shi Xingcan is."
Su Qing sneered: "When we first got married, how did you treat Shi Xingcan so well?"
"Because at that time, she was still the second young miss of the time home," Qu Zhong replied mercilessly. "She is now the Madam Qin, and her identity is different, I must have eaten some snacks as well."
"So it was Qin Yanmo who asked you to come." Su Qing smiled like a fox, "Back then Young Master Qu, now you're actually a dog by Qin Yanmo's side, it's really like turning over the tides."
"It's still better than Madam Shi losing her daughter in her later years," Qu Zhong said slowly. "Even if she wanted to give birth to a second child, she shouldn't be strong enough, right? Let me guess, Shi Jun must have found a young girl outside the sect currently preparing to give birth to a child. "
Su Qing pursed her lips and did not say a word.
Qu Zhong smirked: "When the child is born, the Madam's low position will probably be lost. I heard that at that time, the Madam seemed to have assumed such a position, didn't she? Shi Jun's first wife committed suicide.
The veins on Su Qing's forehead stood out, she suppressed her anger and said: "She died of an illness, where did you hear this news from?"
"Who knows if she was really sick or was killed by someone's ill intentions." Qu Zhong looked at her coldly, then suddenly laughed and said, "Mistress Shi, you should still obediently tell me where Shi Xingcan is. This way, I can go back and report back."
"Leave …" Before Su Qing could finish her words, Qu Zhong had already pulled out a blade from her sleeve and pushed it against her neck, her gaze as cold as ice, "Do you believe that no one will be willing to cause trouble for you even if I were to stab you to death right now?"
"Do you think Shi Jun is dead!?" Su Qing feigned calmness, and said angrily.
"Do you think he's willing to take the risk of offending Qin Yanmo to take revenge for a woman who can't bear children?
These words stabbed into Su Qing's sore spot, and she instantly fell silent.
