As soon as Jiang Zhirou finished speaking, she stared intently at Si Moshen, as if she would keep asking until he gave her a complete answer today.
Si Moshen's expression changed slightly. Looking at Jiang Zhirou's stubborn look, he finally relented.
He knew Jiang Zhirou's personality. She had been stubborn since childhood, which was inherited from Aunt Jiang.
After a while, he finally spoke, "You just woke up. The doctor said not to have too much emotional fluctuation."
"Take a good rest first."
"We'll talk about anything later."
Si Moshen didn't answer Jiang Zhirou's question but changed the topic.
Facing his attitude, Jiang Zhirou's expression became even colder than before.
She stared intently at Si Moshen and suddenly smiled self - deprecatingly, "Later?
"The 'later' you mentioned, is it for Chen Qingmian or for me, Jiang Zhirou?"
Hearing this, Si Moshen frowned and instinctively replied, "Of course it's for you."
As soon as Si Moshen finished speaking, a strange look flashed across Jiang Zhirou's eyes. She didn't respond, and the room fell silent for a moment.
It was filled with a strange stillness.
Just as Si Moshen was about to speak, Jiang Zhirou's voice rang in his ear.
"How can there be a future for someone without a past?"
Her voice was soft and slow. These words seemed to be addressed to herself and also to Si Moshen.
She remembered everything.
She had all the memories related to this body in her mind.
All the memories from the time she could remember until today.
But when she recalled the past events, she felt like an onlooker.
She stood from a third - person perspective, watching "herself" grow up and fall in love, but she felt nothing.
It was as if these images had been forcefully stuffed into her mind.
If it hadn't been for this sudden fainting, she wouldn't have remembered these things, let alone known that Si Moshen had hypnotized Qingmian and made her return to "her" body.
But living with the memories of "someone else's" past, she would rather have died when she was taken away at the age of four.
Hearing Jiang Zhirou's self - deprecating words, a hint of panic flashed across Si Moshen's eyes. "Zhi Zhi, don't talk nonsense."
"How can you not have a past? Have you forgotten all the things we did when we were kids?"
As soon as Si Moshen said this, Jiang Zhirou laughed even louder, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "When we were kids? But what about after we grew up? What about the twenty years in between?
"Did they disappear?"
Jiang Zhirou's look at Si Moshen became more and more complicated, and a layer of mist gradually appeared in front of her eyes.
Compared to the current situation of remembering everything as an onlooker, she would rather be like before, showing up occasionally or choosing not to show up.
Rather than being like this now.
Si Moshen opened his mouth, but he couldn't answer Jiang Zhirou's question. He didn't know how to answer it either.
Just as Si Moshen was thinking about how to respond to the woman in front of him, Jiang Zhirou's voice rang out again.
"Why didn't you tell her about the deal between you and Darryl?"
Jiang Zhirou's emotions were much more stable than before, and her voice returned to normal.
There was a hint of curiosity in her look at Si Moshen.
This was the second time someone had asked him this question.
The last person who asked was Uncle Shen.
He just didn't expect Jiang Zhirou to ask the same question. She had always shown little interest in things other than himself and never cared about others' business.
Si Moshen was silent for only a short while before he replied, "There's no need to tell her. Moreover, the deal between Darryl and me was to keep you safe."
"After all... you've always been their target."
Si Moshen's expression was a bit serious. "Besides, even if I told her, she would still make the same choice."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou glanced at Si Moshen expressionlessly. When she saw his cold expression, she gave a soft laugh and said meaningfully, "You seem to know her quite well."
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Moshen instinctively frowned. "I only know you."
Jiang Zhirou didn't respond. She recalled what Si Moshen had just said and began to think calmly.
He had just said that the goal of the Goldsmith family had always been her.
No, to be more precise, it was Kai. Kai's goal had always been her.
Now that she had all the memories, she naturally knew why Kai was targeting her.
It was all because of An Ya.
Before this, she had never had any dealings with Kai, let alone offended him.
The only connection between them was An Ya.
But now An Ya had been taken away by Chen Yu'an, and she didn't know where An Ya was.
If... she could hand An Ya over to Kai, would the other party stop pursuing her relentlessly?
Jiang Zhirou told Si Moshen her speculation and wanted to hear his opinion.
Si Moshen stared at her for a long time and then suddenly said something completely unrelated to this matter.
"Zhi Zhi is now willing to listen to others' suggestions."
When Si Moshen said this, his face carried a tenderness he had never shown before, just like when he was looking at the young Jiang Zhirou.
Jiang Zhirou felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze and averted her eyes. "Let's get back to business."
Si Moshen didn't miss the look that quickly flashed across her eyes. His heart sank, and his face returned to its usual calm expression.
He seriously analyzed the situation for Jiang Zhirou.
"Kai has always been very arrogant. In his early years, his mother passed away, and his father brought a woman from outside and a bastard son home. This incident hit him hard. According to the information I've investigated, since then, he has always acted unreasonably, and his methods have gradually become cruel.
"At first, he did target you because of An Ya, but now An Ya is missing. Judging from his personality, you are now the culprit for all this. So even if An Ya is found, he will either try to protect his current situation or express his love for An Ya, and he will definitely kill you."
As soon as Si Moshen finished speaking, Jiang Zhirou's face turned ugly.
For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be glad or angry that Si Moshen had made her wake up.
She was glad because she was more rational than Chen Qingmian and wouldn't relax her vigilance against her enemies because of emotions.
She was angry because this was completely an unwarranted disaster for her. She had just managed to provoke someone she shouldn't have.
Jiang Zhirou pondered for a long time. After a while, she suddenly looked up at Si Moshen with a firm and confident look in her eyes.
"After the performance, could you arrange some self - defense trainers for me?"
Hearing this, Si Moshen's eyes flashed.
Then he nodded heavily at her. "Okay."
