Chapter 282 I'm afraid she won't be able to kick her drug addiction.
Xiao Xingyi immediately turned to Zhu Ziqing, his enthusiasm overflowing: "Miss Zhu, why don't you come along? It's free anyway, might as well take advantage of it." In reality, their true purpose for this trip was to give Zhu Ziqing a comprehensive examination to find out the real reason for her amnesia.
Just as Zhu Ziqing was about to refuse, Tan Haoyu spoke first, "Alright, I also want to get a checkup, let's go together." Zhu Ziqing was slightly taken aback, looking at Tan Haoyu's determined eyes, and swallowed back the words she was about to say.
“But I have work this afternoon…” Zhu Ziqing hesitated.
Xiao Xingyi patted his chest and assured everyone, "What's so difficult about that? Just call the company to ask for sick leave, get a doctor's certificate, and you'll get your full salary."
"This works too?" Zhu Ziqing's eyes widened in surprise.
"With Haoyu here, there's nothing we can't do! Haoyu, don't you agree?" Xiao Xingyi looked at Tan Haoyu, who nodded slightly. And just like that, Zhu Ziqing was unwittingly "tricked" by the two into going to the hospital.
Stepping into the hospital, the smell of disinfectant hit her, and Zhu Ziqing's face instantly turned pale. She recalled the nearly one year of darkness she had spent in the hospital, tormented by illness every day, and only through her father's companionship did she get through that difficult period.
Zhu Ziqing was led into the MRI examination room by the doctor. Tan Haoyu and Xiao Xingyi stood at the door, their brows furrowed, exchanging a glance with worry in their eyes.
"Don't worry too much," Xiao Xingyi tried to comfort Tan Haoyu.
Tan Haoyu stared at the closed examination room door, his voice low and deep: "How can I not worry? I still don't know why Ziqing has lost her memory." All along, he had kept this worry buried deep in his heart, bearing it silently alone.
Tan Haoyu was torn. If it weren't for Zhu Shigou's appearance, he would have preferred that Zhu Ziqing completely forget the past and avoid the harm she had suffered. But now, he had no choice but to get to the bottom of it. "If this examination confirms that Ziqing hasn't suffered any brain trauma, I'll go find that person."
“That person? You mean…” Xiao Xingyi’s pupils contracted.
“Yes, that’s my grandfather. In my heart, he is the sinner who murdered Ziqing’s past, and I no longer want to call him grandfather.” Tan Haoyu clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.
"But what if he refuses to admit anything and doesn't reveal anything? What can you do then?" Xiao Xingyi asked worriedly.
Tan Haoyu remained silent for a long time before slowly shaking his head: "I don't know either. If he weren't my grandfather, I would have taken action long ago."
Tan Haoyu knew that his grandfather's attack on Zhu Ziqing must be related to the secret Zhu Shigou had mentioned. Who would be harmed if this secret were revealed? Himself, Xiaoxuan, or his parents? Or would it involve a powerful interest group?
Thinking of this, Tan Haoyu's eyes sharpened: "It seems it's time to have a talk with Liu Zhidong."
As a psychology expert, Xiao Xingyi keenly sensed Tan Haoyu's inner turmoil and smiled, "Haoyu, are you troubled by your grandfather's matter? I can guess exactly what you're thinking right now."
Tan Haoyu frowned, looked at the door of the MRI room, and said helplessly, "He is my own grandfather, and I really don't know what to do."
As they were talking, Xiao Xingyi muttered, "Strange, why haven't Xiaoxuan and Siqi arrived yet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tan Xiaoxuan and Li Siqi walked in side by side.
"Talking bad about us? Gossiping behind our backs, watch out, or ghosts will knock on your door." Tan Xiaoxuan crossed her arms, pretending to be angry.
Li Siqi smiled and agreed, her straightforward nature unchanged despite having experienced burns and disfigurement: "That's right, it's not good to talk about people behind their backs."
Xiao Xingyi grinned and said, "How could I dare to speak ill of you? I was just talking about you guys."
Tan Haoyu remained silent, his gaze fixed on the door of the examination room, oblivious to the commotion around him, his heart filled with worry for Zhu Ziqing.
Tan Haoyu suddenly spoke up: "I had someone change the medicine Zhu Shigou gave Ziqing to vitamin tablets. I'm just worried that she won't be able to quit her drug addiction and I don't know if she can make it through this."
Tan Xiaoxuan stepped forward and yawned: "How is Ziqing now? I attended the premiere last night and then had to attend social events. I'm exhausted and haven't recovered yet."
Li Siqi added, "We originally came to go shopping with Ziqing." The two ignored Xiao Xingyi and Tan Haoyu's handsome appearances, their minds only on Zhu Ziqing.
Xiao Xingyi feigned grievance: "You guys don't care about me at all, it hurts me so much."
Tan Xiaoxuan joked, "There's nothing we can do. Apart from Brother Haoyu, no other man can stir up any waves in our eyes."
“That’s right, Xiao Xingyi, your standards are too high. Ordinary people don’t even meet your expectations,” Li Siqi added.
Xiao Xingyi sighed dramatically, "After meeting Haoyu, other women only have eyes for him and can't see me at all. It's so unfair that I'm still single."
Tan Xiaoxuan nodded seriously: "Indeed, it's because Brother Haoyu is too charming."
Xiao Xingyi was on the verge of tears: "Xiaoxuan, are you trying to comfort me? It just feels even more hurtful." However, no one around him paid any attention to his "wailing" and remained engrossed in their own conversation.
Just then, the door to the MRI room slowly opened, and Zhu Ziqing walked out with light steps.
She looked up and saw Tan Xiaoxuan, Li Siqi and others standing not far away. She was slightly taken aback, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "What are you all doing here?"
Tan Xiaoxuan quickly stepped forward, took Zhu Ziqing's hand, and said enthusiastically, "Ziqing, let's go shopping together this afternoon! Let's relax."
Li Siqi wrinkled her nose, looking displeased: "Stop calling me Miss Zhu, Miss Li, Miss Tan all the time, it's too formal. It's much better to just call me by my name!"
Zhu Ziqing felt the enthusiasm of the crowd and secretly guessed that they must be friends of "the former Zhu Ziqing".
At this moment, Tan Haoyu strode up to Zhu Ziqing, his eyes gentle and tender. He raised his hand and gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead behind her ear: "Ziqing, go shopping with your friends and relax. I'll let you know as soon as the test results come out."
Zhu Ziqing blushed, her heart raced, and she replied softly, "Okay, don't worry too much." Noticing the gazes around her, she became even more embarrassed.
Li Siqi keenly sensed Zhu Ziqing's embarrassment and immediately stepped forward to take her arm: "Come on, let's go shopping first!" With that, she pulled Zhu Ziqing away quickly, cleverly getting her out of the predicament.
Tan Xiaoxuan followed closely behind, not forgetting to turn back and call out to Tan Haoyu and Xiao Xingyi, "Don't worry, we'll take good care of Ziqing!"
Tan Haoyu and Xiao Xingyi watched Zhu Ziqing and the others disappear at the end of the corridor before turning and heading towards the doctor's office. "Hopefully, the test results will give us some clues to unravel the mystery of Ziqing's amnesia," Tan Haoyu said, his brow furrowed, a hint of expectation in his voice.
Xiao Xingyi nodded in agreement: "Yes, only by finding the cause can we truly help Ziqing regain her memory and get out of her predicament."
With trepidation, the two pushed open the door to the doctor's office.
