She was indeed young and beautiful!
Not a bit less pretty than Chu Xia whom Ji Liunian loved.
***
When Xu Zhiyin walked in, the servant saw her and introduced her to Gu Xinyi, "This is Dr. Xu."
Gu Xinyi stood up. Her eyes were on Xu Zhiyin as she looked at her from head to toe. Then, she immediately became alert, "Why is the doctor a woman?"
"Hello, Miss Gu, I'm Xu Zhiyin." Xu Zhiyin greeted her politely. She was merely working here and didn't want to offend Gu Xinyi, the host.
Gu Xinyi sarcastically commented, "Nowadays, anyone can be a doctor."
Xu Zhiyin was so young, it gave one the feeling that she was unreliable. The main point was that she being a woman gave Gu Xinyi a sense of insecurity.
Xu Zhiyin smiled. "I'm just earning a living. Miss Gu, please do not take it to heart. Last night, I had a chat with Qiao and know your identity. I was just thinking of seeing Miss Gu and I didn't expect to see you today."
Gu Xinyi sat down and looked at Xu Zhiyin. She was not in a hurry to find faults with her. To her, the most important thing now was to help Gu Nantian recall his past.
In the past, Gu Nantian would not look at other women besides her but now, a doctor whose look was just acceptable had given her such sense of danger. It was really a joke!
She looked at Xu Zhiyin and asked, "Can you really help Brother Nantian recall his past?"
"All I can say is that I'll try my best." Xu Zhiyin dared not guarantee anything.
Gu Xinyi was angry. "Then, why hire you?"
"Many famous doctors have diagnosed him and none have succeeded. It's excusable if I fail, right?" Xu Zhiyin knew Miss Gu was rejecting her.
However, she would endure.
To fuss about rich girls like her would not have a good ending.
Xu Zhiyin had seen such obstinate behavior before and knew how to tackle people like this.
Gu Xinyi looked at Xu Zhiyin and wanted to say something but saw Gu Nantian in his pajamas, walking sluggishly down the spiral stairs. The minute he saw Gu Xinyi, his faced changed.
Gu Xinyi took the initiative to greet him, "Brother Nantian?"
Gu Nantian walked down the stairs quickly and as if seeing a jinx, he complained, "Why are you here again? I've chased you away many times but you appear in front of me every two to three days."
He didn't know why but every time he saw Gu Xinyi, he was furious. The minute he saw her, his whole body felt uncomfortable. This woman was said to be the one he had loved most in the past.
This was indeed unimaginable.
Gu Xinyi didn't know what she had done wrong. She was afraid to look at Gu Nantian. "Brother Nantian, do you know you look scary now? You'd never treated me like this in the past! You loved me the most in the past."
Gu Nantian interrupted her with his dark face, "Get out of here immediately. Don't let me see you."
It was as if taking another look at Gu Xinyi would cause uneasiness in him and affect his appetite.
Last night, Xu Zhiyin talked to Qiao and knew the relationship between Gu Nantian and Gu Xinyi. She did not doubt Qiao's words. Now that she saw with her own eyes how Gu Nantian treated Gu Xinyi, it was terrible!
The indifferent Gu Xinyi immediately became humble. She said ingratiatingly, "Brother Nantian, don't be angry. I'm worried about you, that's why I'm here to see you."
"Get out." Gu Nantian couldn't wait for this woman to get lost.
Being struck by Gu Nantian, the thorns on Gu Xinyi's body were all gone. She looked pitifully at Xu Zhiyin, "Dr. Xu, I hope you'll be able to help my brother Nantian recall his past."
She believed after Gu Nantian recalled his past, he would not treat her in this manner.
The man who had loved her like his own life, had gone through a 180-degree change after an accident.
She was the woman he had loved most but now she had become the woman he detested!
Xu Zhiyin couldn't accept her attitude. She then answered, "Alright, I'll try my best."
The servant saw Gu Xinyi out. Just like before, Gu Xinyi left crying. Of course, if it were someone else, the person would not be able to endure Gu Nantian's attitude too.
Xu Zhiyin looked at Gu Nantian but dared not talk to him as he looked furious.
She kept quiet, hoping Gu Nantian would not notice her presence.
However, this was obviously impossible.
Gu Nantian walked toward her in a solemn look.
She was unconsciously alerted…
What was he trying to do?
He wasn't thinking of getting her into trouble, was he?
"Are you alright?" Unexpectedly, Gu Nantian's facial expression switched when he came to her.
The man who was angry just now was looking at her in a caring manner. "Did that crazy woman do anything to you?"
"No, I'm alright." She did not take Gu Xinyi's words to heart. Gu Nantian seemed more anxious than she was.
According to Qiao, this was how Gu Nantian doted on Gu Xinyi in the past.
He could treat everyone else badly but would never treat Gu Xinyi badly.
Now that Xu Zhiyin had bafflingly been mistaken by him as the woman he loved, she felt she had wronged Gu Xinyi when she saw Gu Nantian treated her so well.
Xu Zhiyin who was forced to stay back to help Gu Nantian decided to face the current problem, to help Gu Nantian recover his memory. Hence, after breakfast, she went to the studio Qiao had prepared for her to search for some similar cases. She even called her teacher to ask for guidance.
The windows were opened. The breeze that entered from outside was blowing the curtains. Xu Zhiyin stood in front of the bookshelf, flipping through some information. The white blouse she was wearing was moving with the movement of the wind. Gu Nantian stood outside the studio. He wanted to look for her but since she was focusing on her work, he couldn't bear to disturb her.
He stood there staring at Xu Zhiyin while she worked. She was like a peaceful wash painting and was definitely a woman who no other women with only beauty like Gu Xinyi could compare to.
Just then, Xu Zhiyin's mobile phone rang.
She took the phone from the table. It was a call from her mother.
As Gu Nantian's attitude toward her was extremely good, she didn't have the feeling of being kidnapped. To her, she was only working and did not inform her family members of her current situation.
"Mother." In front of her mother, Xu Zhiyin had always been a law-abiding person. She would neither go against her mother's wishes nor make her mother unhappy.
Madam Xu's voice was not as calm as her usual voice, "I heard you and Liunian have divorced. What happened?"
"How did you know, Mother?" Xu Zhiyin had planned to keep her divorce a secret for a few days. Never had she expected her mother to get to know this fast!
