Chapter 253: Temptation
Gu Xiu never believed in any "fate", even if he was at a loss about his past self now, but the deep-rooted bottom line always affected him, he firmly believed that it was not an accident that he could get to where he is today, and it was definitely not a coincidence that he had such a huge enterprise as Y-ing Group.
So he believes in his own ability, even if a lot of things need to be rediscovered, he will force himself to re-learn habits, quickly master the skills of managing the company before the rest of the company finds out that something is wrong, and with the help of Wei Lan and Wei Bai, he will get back to the top.
Only Zhong Qing was an accident in his life, the figure that had been turning over and over in his mind when he was unconscious, it was like thousands of ants eating his heart, he didn't know how he felt about her, until Rachel appeared, she awakened her memory little by little.
But for some reason, Gu Xiu had a feeling that all this was wrong, and there seemed to be a voice telling him that everything was wrong.
He remembered that Zhong Qing had hurt himself and even almost ruined himself, but when he heard her say that she liked herself, why did she still have a sense of excitement like her heart beating wildly?
Gu Xiu couldn't stand the picture of Zhong Qing with other men, let alone Zhong Qing smiling at other men, he selfishly felt that everything about Zhong Qing should belong to him, was that jealousy? Gu Xiu refused to admit it, but in his heart, he was helpless.
In the luxurious western restaurant, Rachel, who was dressed radiantly, sat opposite Gu Xiu, with her long hair curled behind her ears to look even more beautiful, under the reflection of the restaurant lights, a delicate face was particularly special, and the man at the table next to her frequently turned his head, but even if there was such a beautiful beauty sitting in front of him, Gu Xiu was still absent-minded.
Earlier, he met Zhong Qing in the company, and the woman explained that she and Ryan were just a simple partnership, and once again emphasized that she liked herself, for some reason Gu Xiu's heart was disturbed, and his mind was full of pictures of Zhong Qing saying that he liked himself.
"Don't you like to eat?" Rachel asked.
"Huh?" Gu Xiu came back to his senses, took a sip of red wine in disguise, the slightly astringent wine slid down his throat, he remembered that he still had a whole piece of steak that had not been moved, picked up the knife and fork and slowly put it down.
Even if he wasn't a psychiatrist, he could see that Gu Xiu had something on his mind at this time, Rachel wiped her mouth and asked gently, "What's wrong with you?" β
"I'm wondering if there's a way to remind me of the past." Gu Xiu's words made Rachel's face change, especially seeing that Gu Xiu's expression was very serious, she panicked even more.
"This ...... How did you suddenly think of this? Rachel said: "The doctor said that you have bruises in your head that have not been cleared, which is pathological and cannot be rushed." β
"Really? Then why do I remember Zhong Qing's story so clearly? β
Rachel's hands clenched into fists under the table, she swallowed nervously, her expression uneasy. Gu Xiu didn't miss her panic, he just pretended that nothing had happened.
Gu Xiu stretched out his hand and covered Rachel's left hand on the table, he could feel her palms sweating all the time, this was definitely not ordinary nervousness.
"What are you afraid of?" Gu Xiu's words seemed to be guiding something, he looked at Rachel and asked in a slow voice, "Or are you hiding something from me?" β
Gu Xiu has never been the kind of fool who will be led by the nose, many times he is reluctant to doubt Rachel, because during the days when he got along in country M, Rachel's kindness and gentleness made him not suspicious, not to mention that it was at his own strong request that Rachel agreed to treat himself.
It may be that after those few psychological treatments, Gu Xiu remembered certain things, many of them were about Zhong Qing, he thought it was a coincidence before, but now it seems that someone is going to do it on purpose.
Rachel closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she had made some important decision, she held Gu Xiu's hand instead, and said as if she was afraid of losing something: "It was Wei Qiushan who threatened me, Gu Xiu, I can't help ......"
Unexpectedly hearing that name, Gu Xiu nodded, as early as when he was in country M, his intuition told him that Wei Qiushan was definitely not an idle person, no one would be so good to a stranger, even if he said that it was for the cooperation between the two sides in the future, he would not go to great lengths to pull himself back from the line of life and death.
"He threatened me to give you treatment, he wanted me to hypnotize you for his use, but I, I didn't...... Gu Xiu, because I fell in love with you, I couldn't bear to let you become Wei Qiushan's puppet...... You have to trust me! I really didn't do anything to hurt you! β
Rachel grabbed Gu Xiu's arm, as if she would disappear as soon as she let go, she took such a big risk to lie, she is a psychiatrist, she is good at analyzing other people's micro-expressions and is also good at disguise, she knows too well what a person behaves when she lies, as long as she pretends to be good enough, maybe Gu Xiu will not find out......
What she gambled on was not how much Gu Xiu loved her, but whether Gu Xiu's memory was biased.
Fortunately, after listening to her "self-confession", Gu Xiu didn't say anything but patted the back of her hand, and his expression relaxed.
"I don't blame you."
"Gu Xiu......" Rachel looked at him with teary eyes, the charm of this man is not how handsome and rich he is, but a calm temperament from the inside out, he can be indifferent to the world and only dedicate his tenderness to one person, Rachel hopes that that person is herself.
After the candlelight dinner, Gu Xiu asked Wei Lan to send Rachel back to the hotel first, he drove away alone under the pretext that the company had something to do, before leaving, Rachel kissed him on the cheek, reluctantly got into the car, Gu Xiu sent the car out of his sight, and then his eyes sank.
Rachel lied.
This woman who felt familiar to him after opening his eyes, this woman who he once thought was gentle and naΓ―ve, after the lie was seen through, a large area of sores appeared in front of his eyes.
What should have been seen through a long time ago, what is blocking the truth? Gu Xiu found that the more he wanted to remember, the more headaches he had, fainting three times and twice was definitely not accidental, and it was definitely not a coincidence that only the two words Zhong Qing were profound in his blank memory, he needed to know all the truth.
An hour later.
Gu Xiu came out of the CT room, Gu Zimo sat behind the computer to observe and record every data, and after a while, he took the examination results and the film back to his office.
"You have a bruise on your head that is pressing on the memory nerves, which is also the cause of your short-term amnesia." Gu Zimo said: "I checked the location of your wound just now, and it was not written in your previous examination report, but I judged that it should be a gunshot wound." β
"The bullet didn't hit the vital part, it was likely to have grazed your head, and the weight was huge, causing you to bleed twice."
Just looking at the wound on Gu Xiu's head, Gu Zimo could deduce what he had experienced in Country M before, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"There's a problem with my memory." Gu Xiu suddenly thought of Gu Zimo, the doctor, after Wei Lan and Rachel left, and couldn't tell what it was like, as if he could trust him completely.
Gu Zimo said: "Although I am not an expert in this area, I have heard the senior of the Department of Memory Neurology mention before that people who regret amnesia have a sense of familiarity with people or things that are very important to him, of course, each individual is different, and it feels like something that is difficult to describe in words." β
"The Zhong Qing I remember is a person who will do anything to achieve her goals, she dated me for money, my mother died because of her, she kicked ......me away after finding out that I had no use value" Gu Xiu said at the end, his voice stopped abruptly, those memories were so clear in his mind, they should have really happened, how could he feel strange?
"Every time I try to remember things from the past, I think it's not a coincidence, but I always have unbearable headaches, and even faint in severe cases."
Hearing Gu Xiu say this, Gu Zimo suddenly felt that something was a little serious.
"So she was referring to this matter...... Gu Zimo muttered.
"What?"
"Zhong Qing fainted and was hospitalized before, I asked about your situation, she just said that you have amnesia, let me not say too much in front of you." Gu Zimo dialed the internal phone of the hospital, and after saying a few words, he asked Gu Xiu: "How long have you been in this situation?" β
"It should ...... It's been a while. Gu Xiu vaguely remembered that since returning to China, whenever he wanted to remember things from the past, he would have a headache, but every time he woke up, he would forget what he remembered before.
"My senior brother is an expert in neural memory, and he happens to be on duty tonight, so I asked him to come and show you."
Gu Xiu was silent for a long time and asked, "What is the relationship between me and Zhong Qing?" Is she really what I remember? β
Gu Zimo didn't know how to explain, so he had to say: "Since you asked me this question, it proves that you are also suspicious, in fact, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?" β
Gu Xiu's brows furrowed even deeper, just like Gu Zimo said, maybe the truth had already been placed there, but he didn't dare to admit it.
After seeing Gu Xiu's condition, the doctor from the neurology department drove Gu Zimo out of the office for further examination, and when Gu Zimo's office door was opened again, what Gu Zimo saw was Gu Xiu lying motionless on the bed and his senior brother with a solemn face.
"Your friend was hypnotized." Senior Brother frowned and said, "Originally, that kind of hypnosis method was only suitable for extremely special circumstances, who was so immoral to use it on a good person?" The bruise in his head was not the main cause of his amnesia at all, it was someone who hypnotized him and deliberately didn't let him remember it. β
