Lu Yang’s eyes widened a little bit, and a momentary expression of surprise appeared on her face. In her mind, it seemed as though a great number of thoughts were convergently interacting. A few embers of rage eventually found a home in her heart.

Remembering something, she hastily bid farewell to Su Yiran, saying, “I have something to take care of. I’ll leave first, we’ll make plans when we have time.”

“So soon?” Su Yiran asked.

“Yes. Goodbye.”

“All right then. Goodbye. Take care on your way!”

Lu Yang hailed a taxi and went home without even changing her shoes. She walked straight to the study and found the document folder that He Kongqing had given her last time among a pile of books.

She swiftly opened it, revealing a psychological counseling report inside.

Name: Jiang Yanzhou

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: March 21, xxxx

Chief Complaints:

Her memories are gradually disappearing, uncontrollably forgotten, as if it were a twist of fate that shouldn’t have happened. She only remembers saying that she wants to go back and save someone… but she can’t remember clearly.

She dreamt of her crying silently for a long time, with sobs that never ceased. Each sob tightly gripped my heart. It’s unclear, I want to touch her but I can’t. I think I’m about to forget her, and at the same time, I think I’ve already remembered her.

How could I forget? She’s engraved in my bones.

Duration of Consultation: 2 hours.

It was only a single consultation session, lasting a short 2 hours, as if the visitor had just taken a nap.

Lu Yang remembered the last page of the album that Jiang Yanzhou showed her. Emotions surged in her heart and mind, overwhelming her like a river breaking its banks.

Under the gloomy sky, rainwater fell from the eaves, dripping onto the soil. The dry land raised a thin layer of dust, only to be washed down by the descending water.

A girl sat on the ground, hugging her legs and burying her head in her knees, emitting a quiet, sorrowful aura.

After a while, a slender figure approached. His footsteps slowed, fearing to disturb her, as he walked closer step by step.

The man stopped in front of her, holding an umbrella tilted toward her.

The large umbrella formed a smooth arc, with raindrops falling along the framework.

Staring at her for a moment, Jiang Yanzhou softly called out, “Lu Yang.”

Mechanically, Lu Yang raised her head, a few strands of black hair covering her face. Her gaze was unfocused as she looked at the person before her, and her lips moved hesitantly without speaking.

Jiang Yanzhou knelt down on one knee, his eyes meeting hers at the same level. With his other hand, he brushed her hair back.

“Why are you here alone?”

Lu Yang’s lips quivered as she tried to speak, but she choked up. Trying to maintain a composed expression, her trembling breath already betrayed her inner turmoil.

Jiang Yanzhou gently caressed her head. “It’s alright, no need to answer.”

A desolation flickered in Lu Yang’s dark eyes. Upon hearing his voice, her nose suddenly tingled, her eyes reddened, and two teardrops fell from the corners of her eyes.

“So it turns out… all of my brother’s misfortunes stem from me…”

On the other side.

The atmosphere was exceptionally tense.

Jiang Xi had a sharp gaze as he sat in the main seat, while the others…

Jiang Ruzi smiled, attempting to break the deadlock. “Yanzhou, apologize to Dad quickly! How dare you act presumptuously in front of the Emperor? Don’t underestimate the consequences.”

As she spoke, she kicked his leg with her foot. This unruly younger brother dared to be arrogant in front of the Heavenly Emperor? He didn’t understand the severity.

Outsiders may not know, but their own family members knew well. In the previous incident regarding the company going public, although the accusations and investigations were directed at Jiang Xi and Jiang Yanzhou, they seemed to have anticipated it and, at a critical moment, turned the tables, exposing the hidden trouble.

Jiang Yanzhou truly suffered from Lu Yang, but he also gained happiness because of her.

Their major goals aligned, but her methods were more meticulous and acceptable. If Lu Yang stood against him, Jiang Yanzhou didn’t have confidence in winning.

If he lost to her, he would accept it with all his heart.

“Lu Yang did nothing wrong. She has always done what is right,” Jiang Yanzhou said.

Jiang Xi’s expression turned cold, his voice devoid of emotion. “The outcome of doing the right thing doesn’t change the fact that there were mistakes in the procedure.”

“Have you considered that it wasn’t her who approached me, but I who voluntarily approached her, letting her know everything about me?”

“You reckless fool!” Jiang Xi scolded. “In this position, every word and action must be cautious.”

“If you had evidence that Lu Yang made a mistake in the procedure, she wouldn’t still be here,” Jiang Yanzhou smirked self-mockingly. “What you’re unwilling to admit is that I, whom you carefully cultivated, was easily defeated.”

Jiang Xi held power throughout his life, enjoying boundless glory and both fame and fortune. But one day, the prized jade he was proud of was cut open, leaving a crack..
