Wei immediately wiped her tears and frantically shook his head. "It's not your fault, Lihua! How can you blame yourself?" Cheng Ling and Cheng Mei nodded too. "Lihua, don't cry. We did everything to protect you."
"But everybody was suffering while I..." Lihua lowered her head. Zhao Weisheng smiled. "But you didn't know anything and now that you are a mother yourself, you will understand the need to protect your child's safety. Song Jia did the same. You are her sister. She didn't bring your memories or mention them because she wanted to protect you too. You would have done the same thing if the roles had been reversed, right?" Lihua thought about it and agreed that she wouldn't have raked Jia's memories either had she been in her place. "That's why Xiuying, too, did everything that Jiang Shan told her to only to protect her children and family. That doesn't mean that Weizhe, Weiyun or Xiurang should feel guilty. That's what parents do. We can do anything, and we can keep our silence as long as it takes if it means that our children will be safe."
The Cheng couple softly nodded.
Jia trembled. 'That's what parents do.' Surely, my Mom and Dad didn't follow that path... Lihua's shoulders dropped. Wei anxiously held her hand and kissed the back of it. "I cannot see your tears, Lihua."
"You...how can you be so calm? I...forgot our childhood memories. I still don't remember anything. D- didn't you feel lonely that only you remembered everything?"
Mingshen snorted. "Oh your husband has become a pro in that. He did erase your memories. The previous experience helped him a lot." 0
The temperature dropped, and Wei warned, "I will destroy all the hospitals under the Yang family if you bring that up."
He sneered. "You want to pick a fight with me? Lets do it!" Yang Bingqing struck his head hard. "Yang Mingshen! Go stand near the pillar and reflect upon your actions!" 0 He yawned. "What should I reflect upon? I know I am smart and handsome already." "Yang...Mingshen..." she gritted her teeth, losing her patience. He rolled his eyes. "Fine. Don't need to look so angry. You will get wrinkles, and Dad wouldn't want you anymore."
Yang Cheng coldly added. "While you are at , bang your head on the pillar too."
He scowled.
Wei looked back at Ulna and smiled. "Ignore him. I will destroy all his hospitals tomorrow." She puked blood. "You don't have to worry about me. I never suffered. Those memories are precious to me. Even if you don't remember them, they were enough for me through the sixteen years. When I met you, I made new memories with you. So many of them. I never felt lonely because I knew I would meet you one day and spend my entire life with you. In front of that, the sixteen years meant nothing tome."
.." she burst into tears and hopped into his hug. His gaze softened, and he embraced her back "Don't cry anymore." Meng Ya felt emotional too, and she cried with Lihua. Fu Erosion sighed and offered her his handkerchief, which she happily took and used it to blow her nose.
That wasn't the intention of that handkerchief.
Lihua wiped her eyes and asked as she sniffled. "But what happened after that night?" Mrs. Zhang answered that. "We found out that Song Lan and Song Wuyin had bent and wanted to kill you. That came as a huge disappointment to us. We had trusted you with them, but they showed their backs on us for money. Within the Underworld, the blame of their deaths fell on us. But we didn't do anything regarding that. After seeing how Song Lan and Song Wuyin were corrupted, we couldn't even trust Zhao Weizhe at that time even if we wanted to. That incident was enough to make us cautious and wary of others. So instead of relying on him, I secretly became your neighbor and lived beside you for all these years. I used to report everything about you to Mei and Ling." Jia remembered that Mrs. Zhang came to live beside them shortly after her parents' death. The timing matched. "Then around a year ago, Wei suddenly became your neighbor. Naturally, I knew his real identity but didn't know why he would come to live beside us? We didn't know what his family had in mind, so we decided to observe for sometime," she shook her head and chuckled, "But then I felt so silly. Instead of some elaborate plot against you, he was simply there as someone who loved you too much." Wei remembered the old times and softly smiled like a mellow golden ray of sunshine. "En."
"But then once again, we got suspicious when Ulna suddenly disappeared. She stopped coining home one day. Then I found out that you and Wei had married. It was so sudden that it came as a huge shock to us. You never returned to the apartment complex even once after your marriage. So we had no choice but to send Xinyue undercover there."
Xinyue shrugged. "And through him, we realized that Wei had 'killed' Jia and to protect Lihua from knowing the truth, he erased all her memories about her past. He gave her a new identity altogether."
Wei pursed his lips in guilt. "I am sorry." Mrs. Zhang smiled. "Well...we really didn't know what to think of it at first. But when Xinyue saw you two together and saw how you treated Lihua so well like a Queen, we felt reassured. Though we really didn't know for how long you were going to continue with her memory loss." Xinyue grimaced. "That was such a torturous time for me! You and you!" He pointed his fingers at Wei and Lihua, "Fucking blooming gardens of love wherever you went! It was hell seeing you two so mushy-mushy! Wei spoiled and doted on you so much that even I, as your brother, wished him to stop with all the fucking flowers around Ms head!"
