Rose Manor: Tycoon's Relentless Chase-Chapter 347 - 328: Don’t Go See Her

Shen Jianian listened to the voice on the phone, distant memories becoming increasingly clear, she could almost be certain that the person on the other end was her cousin, Yin Shuyao.

She remembered last year when Pei Che came to Yunding Palace to confess to her, he told her that after the Shen Family underwent changes, she went to Yicheng, seeking refuge with her uncle Yin Chengde.

Fu Jichen also once told her that they met in Yicheng.

"Jianian? Are you listening?" On the phone, Yin Shuyao’s voice suddenly sounded a bit embarrassed and full of remorse, "Are you... still blaming me for what I did to you back then? I’m sorry, I was immature at that time, I now deeply regret it, I shouldn’t have treated you that way when you were at your most difficult time. After all, we are family, your parents are gone, we should be there for each other like family."

The confusion deep in Shen Jianian’s heart gradually expanded, and only after Yin Shuyao finished speaking did she ask, "What are you referring to about something you did to me back then?"

She couldn’t understand Yin Shuyao’s words, as she had lost that portion of memory.

Yin Shuyao’s voice choked, then she spoke with a sobbing tone, "I knew you still blame me, I’m sorry, Jianian, I’m really sorry. My mom has also been feeling guilty all these years, always mentioning to me how she didn’t take good care of you. If possible, could you give us a chance to make amends?"

Her words not only failed to resolve Shen Jianian’s confusion but left her feeling even more puzzled.

From Yin Shuyao’s words, did she indeed do something unforgivable to her? Was that her understanding?

The phone was filled with Yin Shuyao’s sobs, Shen Jianian raised a hand to rub her brow, "Shuyao, please don’t cry. I’m sorry, but I don’t remember those things."

Yin Shuyao’s crying abruptly stopped, as if contemplating her words, after a while, she slowly asked, "You don’t remember?"

Shen Jianian replied, "I had a car accident, my brain suffered a severe trauma, and I forgot many things."

Yin Shuyao slowly inhaled, feeling incredulous, could such a thing happen?

She recalled those TV dramas she had watched, her mouth opening and closing, murmuring a few words, "Am...amnesia?"

"That’s one way to understand it." Shen Jianian’s voice was calm, having lost that memory, Yin Shuyao’s apology didn’t evoke any special feeling within her.

Since childhood, Yin Shuyao had been close to her, the two were akin to sister-like friends, although they didn’t live in the same city regularly, each year during winter and summer breaks, Yin Shuyao would come to Beicheng to play with her. They’d wear beautiful dresses during the day, go shopping, grab a bite, and at night, whisper secrets in bed. That period was simple, pure, carefree, and recalling them now stirred beautiful memories, truly fond nostalgia.

Thinking about it, Yin Shuyao’s supposed unforgivable act towards her likely wasn’t anything significant.

Yin Shuyao was silent for a long time, she was utterly surprised, Shen Jianian had lost her memory.

At the public relationship reveal event, Fu Jichen mentioned Shen Jianian had endured a car accident, sustaining severe injuries and facial disfigurement, yet he hadn’t mentioned anything about amnesia.

"Do you really... not remember the past?" Yin Shuyao asked, unsure if she forgot everything or only parts, hence the query.

"Everything that happened after our family changes, I can’t remember," Shen Jianian stated with a slight sense of helplessness.

The doctor had initially diagnosed her amnesia might be due to a self-protective mechanism triggered by brain trauma, as the period of losing her parents was too agonizing, thus everything thereafter became forgotten.

Upon hearing this, Yin Shuyao was silent again, she recalled what she had just said, fortunately not divulging too much.

Shen Jianian had amnesia, even fate was aiding her.

"Jianian, can we meet?" Yin Shuyao’s tone suddenly became fervent, diverging from the prior cautiousness, "These years without news of you, both I and my parents were very worried, especially my dad, who searched everywhere for you, his hair’s turned much grayer."

Shen Jianian thought, her uncle’s family might be one of her few remaining relatives on earth, indeed it wasn’t right to neglect connections.

"Whenever you’re available, I..."

The words hadn’t fully escaped Shen Jianian’s lips when Yin Shuyao, as if fearing she’d rescind, promptly agreed, "I’m available anytime, at your convenience."

Next week, Shen Jianian would report to the symphony orchestra, having already delayed too much due to filming, unable to postpone further. After some thought, she suggested, "Would tomorrow work?"

"Yes, yes, tomorrow it is!" Shen Jianian’s words fell right into Yin Shuyao’s hope, her over-excited voice made her seem unnatural. Calming her emotions, Yin Shuyao explained, "It’s great to have found you, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you."
