Chapter 681 - 668
Chapter 681 - 668
"No, I..." Qin Mengshu stammered, not because she didn’t understand, but because she couldn’t accept it!
Helian Shuang suddenly glanced at Yu Sangwan behind Helian Si, then at Helian Si, and her scalp tingled at once... Hopefully, things aren’t going as she fears!
"Ah Si, let’s discuss these family matters back home!"
After speaking, she led Qin Mengshu toward the inner courtyard.
Helian Si slightly nodded, turned to look at Yu Sangwan, mouthed the words, "Don’t worry, go home... wait for me."
"Hmm." Yu Sangwan nodded, forcing a smile at him.
She knew this path wasn’t easy, otherwise, she wouldn’t have missed out with him for five years... But no matter how difficult it gets, she cannot give up! That is her husband, the father of her child... they are family, why should anyone tear them apart!
...
In the inner courtyard, Helian Shuang suppressed her anger.
"Ah Si, tell me, why did you say those things to Meng Shu? Girls are fragile, they’ll misunderstand."
Helian Si lifted his eyes, "It’s not a misunderstanding, that’s what I meant... Qin Mengshu and I aren’t suited for each other, I don’t want to continue the relationship."
"What?" Helian Shuang couldn’t hold it together, "You... how could you say that? It’s so irresponsible!"
"Hmph." Helian Si smirked indifferently, "What did I do ’to her’? Where’s the irresponsibility in that? I’ve always treated her respectfully, Miss Qin, isn’t that true?"
"Yes..." Qin Mengshu responded timidly, looking expectantly at Helian Shuang.
Helian Shuang shook her head, "Ah Si, that’s not the way to put it..."
"Then how should it be put?" Helian Si interrupted her, furrowing his brow, giving her no chance to speak, "We haven’t set an engagement, it was agreed to be just dating! Although I’m the president, I’m still a regular man, isn’t it common that not every dating couple has to end up married? Moreover, I haven’t done anything that requires responsibility!"
His words were firm and undeniable.
Qin Mengshu couldn’t hold it, covering her face as she ran off crying, "I’m sorry, I overthought it!"
"Hey, Meng Shu!"
Helian Shuang couldn’t stop her; at that moment, with just the two of them, she asked directly, "Ah Si, you must tell me... why suddenly reject Meng Shu?"
"I have someone I like." Helian Si didn’t mask his words, his eyes and remarks extremely sharp, "I believe you know who it is!"
"You..." Helian Shuang’s heart sank, stepping back, surprised, "Are you really with that Yu Sangwan again?"
"Yes." Helian Si nodded, "We’re going to get married."
"Ah Si!" Helian Shuang hastily went to grasp him, earnestly advising, "You can’t! Have you forgotten, she’s your niece’s wife!"
"What does that matter?" Helian Si retorted, "I gave up before only because she disagreed... I like her, so I respected her feelings. But as long as she agrees, what do I have to fear? The law doesn’t oppose us being together!"
Helian Shuang was stunned, "She... agreed?"
"Yes." Helian Si smiled, thinking of Yu Sangwan with some delight, "We are two hearts in love, mutually affectionate!"
"Shameless!"
Helian Shuang blurted out, gritting her teeth angrily.
"Sister." Helian Si frowned, his tone displeased, "Please don’t speak of her this way... She’s a woman, still so young, and it’s been so long since Jinxuan passed. Asking her to wait so long is too cruel!"
Seeing him like this, he was resolute.
"Ah Si!" Helian Shuang was desperate, "Listen to your sister, you can’t! Do you know how fearsome people’s words can be?"
"Hmph." Helian Si cared little, "Those things, do you think I’d mind?"
He nodded slightly, looking at his stunned sister, "Sister, rest well, don’t worry about my matters."
Watching Helian Si leave with a wave of his sleeve, Helian Shuang sank heavily onto the sofa... After leaving Guan Chao, Yu Sangwan did not immediately go home but met with Tang Yueze.
"How did it go?" Tang Yueze poured her a cup of water.
Yu Sangwan drank a couple of sips, trying to keep her composure, first nodding, "Yes, you were right... Ah Si, I mean Helian Si, he is Jinxuan!"
"Hmm." Tang Yueze wasn’t surprised by the conclusion, he solemnly nodded.
"But..." Yu Sangwan frowned slightly, "I still don’t understand, why didn’t Mr. Lu know about such a big issue?"
The ’Mr. Lu’ she referred to was naturally Lu Jinxuan’s father, Lu Yusen.
"As for that." Tang Yueze explained, "Because the Eldest Young Master’s parents have never had a good relationship... There are many matters concealed from each other between the couple. Of course, there are also some things I’m not entirely clear on, but I roughly know they are related to the Second Young Master."
"The Second Young Master?"
Yu Sangwan raised her voice, her hands resting on the table, sitting up straight.
"You mean Lu Yuxuan?"
"You..." Tang Yueze was surprised, "Knew about it?"
"Yes." Yu Sangwan nodded, "Jinxuan told me about this matter, saying his younger brother had gone missing since childhood..."
"Hey."
Hearing that, Tang Yueze sighed deeply.
Yu Sangwan quietly looked at him, knowing he had more to say.
"Eldest Young Madam." Tang Yueze pondered for a few moments, "This is also what I want to tell you. Didn’t you say the Eldest Young Master seemed completely unfamiliar with you?"
"Yes."
Tang Yueze frowned, his tone grave, "It should be related to his illness."
"Illness? What illness?" Yu Sangwan didn’t understand, "Other than insomnia... could it be amnesia?"
Tang Yueze pursed his lips, shaking his head, "It looks like amnesia, but... more precisely, it should be a split personality!"
"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, unable to react for quite some time. Split personality? She couldn’t immediately process such a significant revelation; for all the time she spent with Jinxuan, she never knew he had such an illness!
Tang Yueze carefully explained, "Think back, when you were with the Eldest Young Master, wasn’t he sometimes a bit different?"
With his prompting, myriad memories surged within Yu Sangwan!
Yes, back then, she did notice. Though Jinxuan treated her well, he would occasionally act erratically... changing into someone she completely didn’t recognize. Yet, Yu Sangwan never delved deep and certainly never associated it with a split personality!
"That’s how it is."
Facing her astonished gaze, Tang Yueze sighed, "The Eldest Young Master’s illness developed after the Second Young Master Lu Yuxuan went missing."
"In the Eldest Young Master’s heart, there lies profound guilt toward the Second Young Master; he believes he failed to take care of his brother, thus the guilt and psychological pressure are immense. Therefore, in his subconscious, the Second Young Master never left. Consequently, the Second Young Master’s personality grew within him... accompanying him through life."
"Ah!"
Yu Sangwan clutched her mouth in shock, unable to describe her feelings at this moment.
Her delicate lips quivered, stammered, "Then, then... do you mean that Jinxuan now, is another personality? Is it, Yuxuan?"
"..." Tang Yueze pondered with furrowed brows, "No, it doesn’t seem so. Lu Yuxuan is Lu Yuxuan, he wouldn’t not recognize you. Eldest Young Madam, you should remember the Eldest Young Master appeared before you as Lu Yuxuan. Even if he were Lu Yuxuan, he liked you very much."
Yu Sangwan broke out in goosebumps, her body slightly shivering.
Following Tang Yueze’s train of thought, she recalled bit by bit, nodding, "Yes, I remember."
"Therefore." Tang Yueze’s brows knotted in depth, shaking his head, "What exactly happened that year remains unknown; the current state of the Eldest Young Master... I’m also at a loss."
