Chapter 515 Huo Sinian's Reminder
"He's currently looking for a doctor to restore his memory." Huo Sinian, unusually straightforward, explained the situation clearly. "Once restored, the part of his memory that was hypnotized by Huo Cheng will also be brought up."
Jiang Ruan paused, her hand holding the phone still.
Huo Cheng?
“That happened when he was less than seven years old,” Huo Sinian continued.
Jiang Ruan said, "He can adjust himself."
“If he could manage, he wouldn’t have been trapped by Shan Mu’an’s matter for so many years,” Huo Sinian told her in a declarative tone. “The impact of that matter on him is beyond your imagination.”
Jiang Ruan remained silent for a while.
The words Gu Shixi had said to her were still in her mind.
Abused by parents.
They grew up in a suffocating environment.
If she and Huo Zhizhou hadn't divorced, she would have felt sorry for him, loved him, and given him lots and lots of love. But now, she can't love him anymore.
Even if there were still a little bit of affection left, those remnants had long been suppressed by the words he said when she went to see him last time. If there was anything left, it would only be that he was Sui Sui's father.
"When he was seven years old, Huo Cheng gave him away as a gift." Huo Sinian tried to use the nicest words possible, after all, he didn't want to face all of this either. "The recipient was a middle-aged man."
Jiang Ruan was initially puzzled.
When she realized what those words meant, a chord deep within her was struck.
The suppressed emotions resurfaced.
"After the incident, he had a high fever and fell into a coma. Huo Cheng was afraid of being resented, so he hypnotized him to forget this memory." Huo Sinian's voice came again, "so much so that he didn't even know that this happened."
"If he were to use hypnosis to restore his memories now, there is a high probability that he would recall what happened back then."
Upon hearing this...
Jiang Ruan was filled with mixed feelings. After a long silence, she said, "Didn't you help him forget his memories? You should have thought about this consequence when you erased his memories."
“I hadn’t thought of that.” Huo Sinian was telling the truth. “In my plan, he didn’t know that his memories had been forgotten through hypnosis.”
If no traitor emerges.
Huo Zhizhou will never know this in his lifetime.
If he wants him to regain his memory, he will do so by stimulating the memory, but this method will not bring up the past.
"I'm telling you this so you can try to persuade him not to look for Shen Yuanqiao," Huo Sinian said. "At least don't let him try to regain his memories this way."
"Why don't you go and say it?" Jiang Ruan tried to keep her tone calm.
“I told him he wouldn’t listen,” Huo Sinian said. “He only listens to you. Even though he has lost his memory, your importance to him still exists in his subconscious.”
Jiang Ruan tightened her grip on her phone, but reason prevailed over emotion, and she refused: "This is your family matter, I can't help."
If he had listened to her and hadn't said those hurtful things when she went to see him last time, she would have gone to see him and helped him get out of this dark period.
But there are no "ifs".
He was so stubborn, it must not have been a big deal for him.
Yes.
It's nothing serious.
Jiang Ruan told herself this over and over again.
"Aren't you afraid he'll be devastated if he finds out?" Huo Sinian asked.
Jiang Ruan was certainly afraid, but she hadn't forgotten his choice.
He never considers her feelings when making choices, so why should she choose him?
He was the one who didn't choose her first.
"That's his business, it has nothing to do with me."
"Aren't you going to consider it, Sui Sui?" Huo Sinian changed the subject. "No matter what, he's Sui Sui's father. What will happen to Sui Sui if something really happens to her?"
Jiang Ruan was in a very low mood.
After a brief silence of a few seconds, she spoke: "Then I'll get him a new one."
"What?" Huo Sinian thought he had misheard.
"I'll hang up if there's nothing else." Jiang Ruan's tone was calm and even. "I'm very busy here and don't have time to listen to your family affairs."
After saying that, she hung up the phone decisively, regardless of Huo Sinian's reaction.
Did you find out about Sui Sui at this point?
When she went to him, not wanting him to take that extreme path, why didn't he consider Sui Sui? Since it was his own choice, he should bear whatever consequences he encounters.
After putting these matters aside, Jiang Ruan continued with her own business.
She thought this wouldn't affect her, but when she lay in bed that night, she couldn't help but think of Huo Sinian's words. She knew that Huo Cheng was driven by profit and didn't love children, but she never expected him to be so heartless and insane.
She gave her child to a man.
Calling them beasts wouldn't be an exaggeration.
But she didn't think about it for long. The occasional worries she had were only because she had loved him before, and she didn't participate because she had been hurt and pushed away.
In the following days.
Jiang Ruan tried her best not to think about it, to continue living her life as usual, and not to care about Huo Sinian and Huo Zhizhou. She tried to forget about it by being busy with work.
It proved to be effective.
Her fulfilling life and piled-up work gradually made her forget about Huo Zhizhou's desire to restore her memory.
If Huo Sinian hadn't messaged her again, she wouldn't have remembered at all.
Huo Sinian started the game.
A message was sent later: "[2 PM, Suite 2001, Huo Er is regaining his memories here.]"
Jiang Ruan saw it.
I choose to ignore it.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Huo Sinian knew that Jiang Ruan was determined not to care this time.
He arrived at the hotel where Huo Zhizhou was staying and knocked on his door.
It was Assistant Jiang who opened the door. He looked surprised when he saw him. Before Jiang could speak, he said, "I'm looking for Zhizhou. I want to talk to him alone."
Assistant Jiang subconsciously looked at his boss.
Huo Zhizhou nodded.
soon.
The two of them were the only ones left in the entire suite.
Huo Zhizhou sat on the living room sofa, not at all surprised by his arrival. But after he sat down, he asked a question: "Did you tell Dr. Shen not to restore my memories?"
"Yes." Huo Sinian no longer hid it.
"Why aren't you stopping them anymore?" Huo Zhizhou asked.
Huo Sinian: "If the person you care about most isn't worried, then I don't need to worry either."
Huo Zhizhou looked up: "Not going to play the good older brother anymore?"
"Didn't you find out everything?" Huo Sinian knew that what he had said before, as well as his obedient younger brother's behavior, were all just an act for him.
Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement.
I'm not afraid of him finding out at all.
"Are you sure you want to restore your memories?" Huo Sinian still asked him, after all, he had heard him call him "brother" so many times when they were young, "Even if there are things in your memories that cause you unbearable pain?"
"You mean you want to divorce Jiang Ruan?" Huo Zhizhou thought that was it.
Huo Sinian: "No."
Huo Zhizhou then asked, "Shan Mu'an?"
Huo Sinian: "No, not exactly."
Huo Zhizhou paused.
"The only living people who know about this are me, Huo Cheng, and Jiang Ruan, who was only told about it two days ago." Huo Sinian decided to give the choice to himself. "Even you before you lost your memory didn't know."
Huo Zhizhou raised his eyes.
Huo Sinian noticed his question: "Huo Cheng hypnotized you when you were a child. You've forgotten it, but this time it's very likely that it will bring up that matter again."
"What is it?" Huo Zhizhou asked.
Huo Sinian was unusually silent.
Shen Yuanqiao said that was just a probability.
In other words, there's still a small chance they might not remember.
"I won't tell you, I'm just kindly reminding you that it will cause you pain."
