Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 157 - 154 Taking Care of the Elderly

Leng Mochen put down his crossed leg and looked directly at Long Wu, "Are you sure?"

Long Wu nodded vigorously.

Xia Yu suddenly looked up. Ever since she saw Li Si, she had become a bit braver.

"I’m not! Really! President Li, you know, I have an ex-husband, and my family is just rural farmers. How could I know President Long?"

Although she had lost her memory, there was not a single image of this person in her mind.

Li Si nodded in agreement, "Brother Wu, could you have made a mistake? I can indeed vouch for this!"

She hoped Long Wu would find who he was looking for, but she didn’t want to deceive him. What if Xia Yu was telling the truth? Wouldn’t it be a false joy?

Long Wu took out that examination report and said firmly, "She must be Meng Meng! This report shows her blood type is the same as Meng Meng’s, and she has a knife scar on her left shoulder! We’ll know once we check!" freeweɓnovel-cøm

Xia Yu subconsciously touched her left shoulder. She did have an unsightly knife scar there. Her ex-husband often mocked her, said it was hideous, and claimed she couldn’t wear beautiful off-shoulder clothes.

"But why doesn’t she have any memory at all?"

Leng Mochen questioned. From his observation, Xia Yu only seemed fearful of Long Wu, without a trace of recognition. And her gaze at the elderly was full of sympathy, not familial affection.

It was also curious to Li Si that if she truly was Meng Meng, and they all had evidence, what was she still holding on to?

Long Wu noticed something odd too. After his initial impulse, he calmed down and carefully observed Xia Yu. She didn’t seem to be acting or pretending, but rather displaying a natural reaction.

"Xia Yu, don’t be afraid! Tell me, do you really not remember anything?" Li Si sat beside her, holding her hand and asking softly.

Xia Yu tried hard to recall, but her mind was blank. "I really don’t remember! The only thing I recall is waking up and being married to that rogue! I remember nothing before that!"

After waking up, she was confused for a long time. She heard that she had fallen from a high cliff and was luckily saved by that man, who didn’t mind her broken leg, hence becoming his wife.

"Meng Meng, take a good look. Does the environment of this house seem familiar? You used to come see me often, so you should have some impression!" Long Wu said excitedly. How could she not remember?

Leng Mochen pacified him gently, calming him to analyze: "Long Wu, do you think she might have had an accident that caused her amnesia?"

This was highly possible, especially since Xia Yu didn’t behave like someone who hadn’t even graduated from middle school. Could someone have deceived her?

Li Si’s eyes lit up, "Do you think Xia Yu, like Mochen, also experienced a serious accident leading to amnesia?"

"Yes! That’s it! Meng Meng, do you have any other injuries?"

Impatient, Long Wu walked up to Xia Yu, inspecting her up and down, afraid of missing something. He secretly regretted that they didn’t perform a full-body check-up, only a blood test that afternoon.

Xia Yu stepped back in fear, shaking her head, "No!"

She was genuinely scared of him. The scene just now was probably unforgettable for life: the grim expression, blood-red eyes, he was a madman, and her instincts told her to stay away.

The elderly lady, who had been silent, suddenly grabbed Xia Yu’s hand, saying, "Meng Meng, Meng Meng, Mom is sorry! I shouldn’t have let you go on that trip! Meng Meng, Meng Meng..." Her words repeated, wrenching the hearts of those who heard.

"Xia Yu, regardless of whether you’re really Meng Meng, considering the old lady’s condition, just do a good deed and pretend for now! You can do a DNA test tomorrow to find out for sure!" Li Si couldn’t help suggesting, her own eyes brimmed with tears, unable to bear witnessing such a scene.

"Alright!" Xia Yu’s heart was softened. She felt a deep motherly love emanating from the old lady, making her willing to accept Li Si’s suggestion.

Leng Mochen and Long Wu exchanged a glance, understanding something only known between them.

Li Si checked her watch; it was now seven in the evening. "Haven’t you all eaten yet?"

Saying that, Long Wu regretfully held his head, "No! Meng Meng, are you hungry?" His impulsiveness had gone too far; he didn’t even manage dinner for Meng Meng, truly a major oversight.

"It’s okay!" Xia Yu replied shyly, her face showing an age-inappropriate weariness.

"Eat, eat, eat meat!" The old lady mumbled.

"Look, the old lady’s hungry too! Brother Wu, how about we go get some meat to eat?" Li Si also wanted to eat, thinking that meals taste better with company.

The group found a barbecue restaurant, where the stainless steel plates were neatly arranged with various meats. Just looking at them made one salivate, tempted by the aroma of grilled meat.

Everyone ate heartily, probably because they were hungry. Li Si chewing found it to be the best barbecue she ever tasted.

After dinner, they discussed the issue concerning the old lady. Leng Mochen suggested, "Why not let Xia Yu take care of the old lady for now, stop work for a bit, and keep her salary going as normal!"

Xia Yu hesitated, murmured, and after a while finally replied, "I... I might not be able to do it!"

She feared she might not care for the elderly well and get blamed for it! But as she said this, the old lady kept smiling at her kindly, making her feel intensely troubled. What was happening to her?

Noticing everyone staring at her, she quickly added, "I’m afraid of not taking good care of her!"

Long Wu gave her a reassuring look, "It’s okay, there will be a professional nurse to assist you. You just need to accompany her, that’s all!"

"Xia Yu, how about you give it a try first? If you still think you can’t do it, we’ll talk then, okay?" Li Si added a word, thinking if she truly was Meng Meng, the old lady would find some solace.

With a determined nod, Xia Yu agreed, her feelings strange and indescribable inside,

Since she had no objection, everyone thought it feasible, thus temporarily decided it.

Originally living in the staff dorms, Xia Yu just needed to pack a few personal items tomorrow to move to Long Wu’s house.

Leng Mochen drove Li Si home, and on the way, they discussed the matter.

"Mochen! Do you think Xia Yu really is Meng Meng?" Li Si still felt like it was a dream, how small the world had become, not knowing who they’d meet around the corner.

Leng Mochen, carefully watching the road, continued driving steadily. "Maybe!"

He speculated that something must have happened with Xia Yu; otherwise, she wouldn’t be unfamiliar with Long Wu at all.

Li Si couldn’t resist grabbing his right hand resting nearby, "Do you think Brother Wu did something inexcusable in the past? Don’t romance novels always say that?" She speculated wildly, but somehow felt the two didn’t look like they belonged together.

"Hard to say!" With limited information, Leng Mochen didn’t know what Long Wu actually did back then.

At that moment, Li Si’s phone rang, interrupting their speculation.

Seeing Tian Yaruo as the caller, Li Si answered coldly, "Hello!" She was increasingly disappointed with her, hoping this call wouldn’t bring bad news. (To be continued.
