Chapter 721: Returning to a Familiar Place

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

“Good morning, Miss Gu,” Xiao Yize greeted with a smile.

Gu Jin cast him a casual glance and raised a brow. “Familiar already?”

Xiao Yize froze, caught off guard by her keen perception.

Miss Gu wasn’t one to miss a beat!

Would she interpret his words as a sign of commitment? He hadn’t even courted her yet, and here he was, already talking about family?

Tong Wan remained composed in contrast to Xiao Yize’s fluster. With a serene smile, she approached Gu Jin and gently took her hand. “Jin, here to see me?”

“Mm.” Gu Jin nodded, finding herself quite fond of Tong Wan.

Despite Tong Wan’s recovery from her vegetative state, she still required rehabilitation. Gu Jin made regular visits to monitor her progress.

Gu Yang observed that Tong Wan appeared normal most of the time, but her demeanor would shift dramatically whenever her daughter was mentioned. She yearned to reunite with her lost child.

Utilizing hypnosis, Gu Yang delved into Tong Wan’s subconscious and discovered significant gaps in her memory.

The recollection of the plane accident remained fragmented, haunting her subconscious mind.

After leaving the ward, Gu Yang shared Tong Wan’s diagnosis with Gu Jin.

“The memory impairment likely stems from the plane crash and subsequent brain injury. Over time, she may regain some of those memories,” Gu Jin remarked.

Xiao Yize let out a relieved breath, then turned to Gu Yang. “So, what’s our next step, Sister? Should we confront my mother with the reality and help her accept the loss of the child?”

Gu Yang quickly shook her head. “No, please don’t. Her mental state is extremely fragile right now. That could trigger a severe breakdown.”

“Instead, we should support her, allowing her to move freely and engaging her in familiar surroundings.”

“Gradually, as she pieces together those fragmented memories, she’ll naturally come to terms with reality.”

Xiao Yize absorbed Gu Yang’s advice, realizing it was time to bring his mother back to the capital.

Earlier, his father had urged him to relocate her immediately upon awakening, but Xiao Yize felt Gu Yang’s psychological counseling was crucial, so he held off on the move.

“I’ve heard Uncle Gu is planning to return to the capital. Do you know when he’ll leave?” Xiao Yize inquired, having gathered information about Gu Zhaoming’s background from Lin Ran.

He was taken aback by the revelation. Who would’ve thought Gu Zhaoming was the long-lost heir the Gu family had kept under wraps for years?

“We’ll wait until Mom is discharged,” Gu Yang replied, turning to Gu Jin. “Sister, when is Mom getting out?”

“In about a week,” Gu Jin replied calmly, playfully poking Gu Yang’s forehead. “Don’t spoil her. Keep her from running around so she can recover faster.”

“Got it,” Gu Yang nodded, adding weakly, “I just felt bored seeing Mom.”

Ruan Xueling, aside from her work, filled her days with social engagements and shopping excursions with friends. She couldn’t stand being idle. To prevent her from getting upset over online rumors, Gu Jin had confiscated her phone, leading Ruan Xueling to enjoy daily walks with Gu Yang instead.

Gu Jin pondered for a moment before speaking, “You can return her phone now.”

With Old Master Ruan no longer posing a problem, the internet rumor-mongers were now dubbed “battle pet warriors” and “criminal detainees.” Fear of becoming practice fodder for law students at Jin City University loomed over them.

It’s noteworthy that Ruan Chu happened to be a third-year law student at Jin City University.

This time, her practical assignment earned personal praise from Qiu Baizhou as an exemplary piece.
