Zong Yanxi stiffened as she furrowed her brows. She turned to look at Jiang Youqian and questioned, “What do you mean?”
“My brother hurt his head, so he remembers nothing of his past. He doesn’t even know who I am. Only the surgery can help him now. Please come up with a decision for us, or just visit him. Please,” Jiang Youqian pleaded.
Shock only took Zong Yanxi for a moment. She soon returned to her usual calm self. “Good then. It’ll save me the trouble of having to deal with his constant harassment. Both of you, don’t come to me ever again.”
At that, she entered the house and shut the door mercilessly.
Jiang Youqian sighed in defeat, “Is her heart made of stone? My brother’s already in this state, but she’s completely unconcerned.”
Nan Cheng sighed as well. “It’s good in a way. We tried. Let’s go.”
He then entered the car as Jiang Youqian trailed behind him. “What are we going to do next?”
Nan Cheng fell silent to think for a moment. “Why don’t we go back to B City first? We’re more familiar with that city, and we’ll be able to take President Jiang to a few more hospitals for further opinions. This way, we’ll feel more confident with our final decision.”
“What if we still have to do the surgery?” Jiang Youqian asked.
Looking at him, Nan Cheng inquired, “Have you ever thought it’s good that President Jiang has forgotten his past?”
Jiang Youqian immediately flew into a rage. “What are you thinking about? Are you planning to overtake the company while he’s still an amnesiac?”
“Do you think everyone’s like your mom?” Nan Cheng did not wish to mention that, but Jiang Youqian’s words upset him. How can he think of me as someone like that?
Jiang Youqian fumed. He knew about his mother’s greed and her ill-treatment of his brother, but that was still his mother. He could think badly about her in his heart, but he still felt irritated to hear it from someone else.
Not wanting to argue with him, Nan Cheng softened his tone. “You heard Zong Yanxi. She has no signs of feeling bad about President Jiang’s state. It’s extremely unlikely that she’ll go back to him.”
“What are you trying to say?” Jiang Youqian questioned.
“If President Jiang’s memories come back, he’ll only feel sad and remorseful about the past. He’ll keep trying to get Zong Yanxi back to him despite knowing it’s impossible. If that’s the case, isn’t it better for him to forget about it?” Nan Cheng confessed.
Jiang Youqian’s brows knitted. “What do you mean? Do you mean we shouldn’t let him recover?”
“The treatment has its own risks. But by not recovering, he won’t need to go through those risks, and he won’t need to feel upset about Zong Yanxi. If he gets to meet someone else in life, isn’t it better for him to spend the rest of his life with that person instead?”
Jiang Youqian still felt uncomfortable with Nan Cheng’s thoughts. He felt they did not have the right to make the decision; only Jiang Mohan had the right to decide for himself.
“Let me think about it.”
