Revenge Sevenfold

Like this, three days passed in a blur for Hui Yin.

Lu Shen's parents came along with the media in the hospital that afternoon, and Madam Lu cried great big tears when she was interviewed about what she felt in the time Lu Shen had gone missing and his amnesia that made him temporarily forget them. They tried to subtly give Hui Yin a blank cheque and implied that her relationship with Lu Shen ended there, but the man himself didn't leave her side and was adamant that he would go wherever Hui Yin went.

This gave the two Lu elders a severe headache as they couldn't accept that this clingy child was the same indifferent man in their memories. Where was the slight aversion to women, the need for personal space, the workaholic iceberg who only thought of the company and nothing else? Where was their son, ah?!

But their resentment and complaints fell into deaf ears. Since Hui Yin didn't seem to be herself and was in no hurry to leave the hospital, Lu Shen also stayed there.

Both Lu Yongzheng and Madam Lu wanted to find the best hospital in the country to treat their son's amnesia, but they could only reluctantly give up as Lu Shen's firm decision was as steady as Mount Tai. They could only stay in this backwater hospital and accompany their son while he was recuperating.

They hoped Lu Shen would quickly recover his memories so that he would stop clinging to that girl and go back to Beijing with them. Every day after his psychotherapy, he would go into Hui Yin's room that had been refurbished to look like a five-star hotel and sit beside her as she pondered her thoughts.

Hui Yin wasn't actually as spaced-out as Lu Shen imagined her to be. In fact, she was thinking about her next move. Yue Lao didn't specifically say that she couldn't free the culprit after she 'caught' him. So with that in mind, her problems had all cleared up.

The problem was about the Wen family. In her previous life, it took Lu Shen five months before he completely recovered. Would she have to wait that long before asking him what he had done to this 'Wen family'? Hui Yin didn't even find anything about them after searching the net, which was odd.

Considering the misdeeds this man had done using the Lu Corporation, it was probably another upper-class family that he bankrupted and thrown over to the wolves. She couldn't tell him about the culprit being her brother too. Hui Jinhai might have severed all family relations and wouldn't hesitate to kill her, but he was still her brother. As much as she could, she wanted to protect him.

The problem was, how could she ask this amnesiac Lu Shen about the Wen family?

Today was the same as the past two days.

After impatiently responding to the psychotherapist's questions and running out of there, Lu Shen happily sat beside Hui Yin and played with her hands. He drew circles on her palm and pulled on her slim and dainty fingers. He even took delight that his hands were too big when compared to hers, easily swallowing them. Like this, he felt like a man who could protect her.

"Lu Shen?"

Being asked a question after days of being ignored, his eyes were bright when he looked at her.

Hui Yin hesitated and asked, "Could you contact Assistant Yan and ask him...no, never mind. You probably don't tell him anything."

She felt utterly helpless. Lu Shen was truly good at managing his affairs without letting one drop leak out. Was she left with no choice but to stab herself in the neck again and confront that man?

Towards the Lu Shen she had left behind and the Lu Shen beside her now, Hui Yin could tolerate them because she knew that to some degree, these two hadn't done anything to her. The one she truly hated was her ex-husband who wore the other red string bracelet Yue Lao had given them on his wrist.

Did she have to...go back there?
