Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 472 - 470 How can I contact the Liang Family?
After making a round, her feet could hardly bear it any longer.
The new high heels she had changed into at the department store along with her clothes were rubbing against her feet, and her heels had begun to chafe painfully; by the end, she was practically dragging her feet along.
Noticing her discomfort, Huo Zhenyang suddenly stopped speaking.
The other mayors and deputy mayors from the coastal cities were taken aback and stopped as well.
"What’s wrong?" Huo Zhenyang turned his head and fixed his gaze on her face.
In an instant, all the eyes of the influential figures were focused on her.
Jiayi was startled and her face flushed. She quickly hushed her voice and gently said to him, "It’s nothing."
"Speak," he said, raising his voice by a few tones, clearly displeased.
This was nothing? The little lady was practically clinging to him like a koala, short of hanging on his arm as she walked.
Seeing that Mr. Huo’s brows were not cheerful, and speaking with a heavier tone, the mayors and their wives did not dare to neglect the matter and all looked at Jiayi.
She certainly couldn’t let so many political figures watch her and waste their time just for her sake...
Only then did she softly answer, "My foot is blistered, and it hurts a bit."
Huo Zhenyang lowered his head and his gaze quickly swept across her ankles below the hem of her dress; on the soft, fair skin of her heel, there was indeed a clearly visible red mark.
If they had stopped earlier to deal with it, it wouldn’t have been so severe. Because she kept silent and continued circulating around the venue, the repeated friction of the leather against her skin had resulted in a startling blood mark.
His brows furrowed tightly as he said, "Go sit on the sofa."
"No need..." she protested. As his companion for the evening, it seemed inappropriate for her to just go off and sit down.
Besides, getting blisters from high heels wasn’t that big of a deal—it was something every woman faces eventually.
She could endure it for a little while longer.
His brow darkened in an instant, shading with a grim tone, "Obey."
Two simple words, filled with deterrent force and dignity.
The speaker himself may not have realized it, but everyone around him heard it loud and clear and couldn’t help but be secretly shocked.
A public relations companion, that’s it? She had just blistered her foot, and Mr. Huo was so good to her?
Among the crowd, Shangguan Xiong, realizing Mr. Huo’s intentions and thinking quickly, promptly instructed a servant, "Bring some band-aids."
The Shangguan Family had many business projects in Yunling and naturally needed to forge good relations with political figures, which was why they were also attending the banquet.
Jiayi had no choice but to first sit down on the couch with the help of a servant.
Looking at the abrasion, she stood up, intending to go to the restroom to clean it before applying a band-aid.
Leaving the banquet hall, Jiayi was led to the restroom in the corridor by a servant, washed the wound with clean water, applied a band-aid, and put her shoes back on—much more comfortable now.
After leaving the restroom, as she walked towards the banquet hall, she heard a voice from behind:
"Xiaoyi!"
It was a young man’s voice, filled with excitement.
It sounded... familiar. Where had she heard it before?
Jiayi turned her head, surprised.
It was the man who got drunk on the yacht that day, who had grabbed her and wouldn’t let go, constantly calling her ’Xiaoyi’.
The young master of the Shangguan Family—Shangguan Yao.
Upon recognising her, a flicker of surprise crossed Shangguan Yao’s handsome and carefree face.
Yes, it was her that he had seen on the yacht that night.
It wasn’t a dream, nor had he mistaken someone else for her.
On the night of the yacht party, when his men could not find her anywhere on the boat, he knew she must have already disembarked. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Later, he had someone check who she had come with that night, only to find out that she attended as Huo Zhenyang’s female companion.
Aren’t female companions just PR ladies?
He found it hard to believe that Jiayi would enter such a mixed industry of fish and dragons.
It just so happened that Daddy knew Huo Zhenyang would attend today’s party, so Shangguan Yao pleaded with Daddy to ask Huo Zhenyang to bring the same female companion.
Shangguan Xiong always indulged his only son and didn’t think it was a big deal, so he casually mentioned it to Huo Zhenyang.
Shangguan Yao waited outside the banquet hall of the Shengjing Hotel all evening, just waiting for her to come out.
To his surprise, it was really her!
Looking at her confused face, Shangguan Yao remembered how she completely didn’t recognize him that night, and his expression changed slightly as he stepped forward, "Xiaoyi, do you really not remember me?"
Last time, Jiayi was a bit startled and thought Shangguan Yao had mistaken her for someone else because he was drunk, but today, seeing him seek her out again, she began to have doubts.
"Do you know me?"
"We were alumni at Jinhua University five years ago."
Jinhua University, that century-old prestigious school in H City?
Had she studied there?
And she was classmates with Shangguan Yao?
Five years ago—that was the year she wandered into China.
So, the year she drifted around in China, she spent it all at Jin University?
Her eyelashes fluttered, and her heart began to beat somewhat wildly.
Shangguan Yao felt odd and somewhat defeated, "Do you really not remember me?"
She didn’t want to go into too much detail, so she perfunctorily nodded, "I had an accident."
Shangguan Yao’s face twitched, and before he could speak, she preemptively probed, "Were we close back then? Were you familiar with me?"
Shangguan Yao felt an inexplicable sadness. Close? He wanted to develop a deeper relationship, but unfortunately, there hadn’t been time.
He steadied his thoughts, lifted the corners of his lips slightly, and with a smile tinged with his usual frivolity, he said, "Familiar? Which aspect are you referring to?"
Shangguan Yao carried the typical mischievous aura of a rich heir, and with a slight smile and a raise of an eyebrow, he could make many young girls scream.
However, Jiayi couldn’t indulge in any fanatical admiration at the moment and asked seriously, "Did I have anyone back then... like family, or someone who looked after me?"
She had been helplessly wandering in a foreign land; relying on her own abilities, it seemed impossible for her to study, so there must have been someone helping her!
Seeing the look on her face, Shangguan Yao thought she really didn’t remember, "You were quite close with the Liang Family, and it seems Liang Tao was your guardian in H City. I only know you would go back and stay with the Liang Family every week, and you called Liang Tao ’godfather.’ Oh right, Liang Tao’s daughter, Liang Anya, also studied at Jin University and was a year ahead of you. As for other things about you, like your origins, I have no idea. I always thought you were an orphan, and later, when I was finally getting to know you, I never got the chance. You were only at Jin University for a few months before withdrawing from school. It was Liang Tao who handled the withdrawal for you; you didn’t even appear yourself."
Wait a second...
The Liang Family? Liang Tao? Liang Anya?
These names felt very unfamiliar, yet also heartwarmingly familiar...
Moreover, the year she spent in China wasn’t entirely at Jin University? She left after just a few months?
"Then, where did I go after that? Do you know?" she asked meekly.
"I looked for you in H City but didn’t find you; I could only confirm that you must have left the north. I also asked Anya, but that girl is stubborn; she refused to tell me. Later on, she went abroad to study," Shangguan Yao shrugged with a helpless tone.
So, perhaps by finding the Liang Family, she could understand her experiences in the year she spent in China and maybe even help recover her memory completely?
Jiayi suppressed the excitement in her pounding heart, "How could I get in touch with the Liang Family?"
