She Lost Memory Before the Divorce

Chapter 146: Chapter 0146: Can’t Help Thinking of Her When I See You

Huo Tingxiao’s eyes darkened, he guessed the identity of his rival, but he still wasn’t sure.

After all… he hadn’t even dared to contemplate that possibility, wondering if it really was him, whether he could harden his heart to do what must be done.

“What news from Yunzhan’s side?”

He Yan sighed.

“Mr. Yun hasn’t found out anything; General Huo, the second phase of the project has ended and the third has just started. Are you really planning to…”

“Handle those two bids from Jian An yourself, the Sheng Family wants that suburban land, let out a rumor saying that people from Capital City and Yue City are interested in it.”

Having been at Huo Tingxiao’s side for many years, He Yan instantly understood. TX might have withdrawn from the bid for that land, but they could make Sheng Xueqin spend more money to acquire it, or even create a popular illusion to make her deeply believe in the investment value of that land.

“Alright, I understand, General Huo.”

———

In the afternoon, Mu Lan intended to leave after taking Yun Xi around the fabric market when they ran into Liu Ai by chance.

“Liu… Liu Ai?”

Liu Ai was stunned, taking a moment to recognize Mu Lan.

“Of course I remember, I thought you were my friend. You two look so much alike that I got confused.”

“That’s quite a coincidence. I hope I’m not interrupting your personal time, am I?”

After all, Liu Ai was now a very famous supermodel with many fans. Despite Mu Lan liking her very much, she didn’t want to cause her any inconvenience.

“Not at all, I’m just casually strolling around. There’s a Starbucks ahead, how about we grab a coffee together?”

Mu Lan was very surprised and hadn’t expected Liu Ai to take the initiative to invite her.

“Of course, that would be lovely.”

The three chose a quiet corner, Mu Lan ordered a caramel macchiato, while Liu Ai and Yun Xi chose Americano espressos.

“You like caramel macchiato too?”

“Yes, I really like it.”

“What a coincidence, that friend of mine likes it a lot too. Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to contact her lately. She hasn’t logged into her SNS accounts for a while, and her phone is unreachable, she might have left the scene.”

“Left the scene?”

Clearly, Mu Lan didn’t understand the implication in Liu Ai’s words.

“We met on a forum, hit it off well, then met up twice. She seemed like a really nice person, so we became friends.”

Huh? Becoming friends with a supermodel was this easy? Even forum friends could meet up?

Mu Lan had many questions in her mind but felt it wasn’t her place to ask, although Liu Ai noticed her thoughts.

“Do you find it a bit unbelievable?”

“Yeah, a little. Even that you can talk so openly about this with me…”

“It’s because seeing you reminds me of her. It’s a natural sense of kinship.

But I know you can’t be the same person. Your personalities are polar opposites. You seem very sunny and lively, whereas she is very quiet, even a little melancholic.”

For some reason, Mu Lan felt goosebumps upon hearing Liu Ai’s words, as if there was another her in this world, someone with the same face but a different personality, almost like twins.

“She may have encountered some issues, perhaps wanting some alone time, or facing some stress in life. I’m just guessing.

After a while, when she’s sorted out her feelings and ready to start over, you’ll be in touch again.”

Liu Ai shrugged her shoulders.

“I hope so. Talking to you is very comforting; you’re good at making people feel at ease.”

Mu Lan scratched her head, feeling slightly embarrassed.

“If it comforts you, I’m very happy.”

“Your friend is very quiet.”

“Yun Xi has that kind of personality, she doesn’t talk much, but she’s very kind, caring, and delicate.”

Mu Lan’s praise made Yun Xi a bit embarrassed, and she shyly lowered her gaze.

“Yun Xi? That’s a beautiful and unique name. Oh, right, I don’t know your name yet…”

“I’m Mu Lan.”

“Mulan? As in ‘a woman can match a man’?”

“It’s Mu from Murong, and Lan as in the color blue. My dad indeed had a bit of an intention for me not to lose to the boys when he chose this name for me.”

Liu Ai looked at Mu Lan, gradually getting lost in her thoughts.

The person before her was just a girl who looked a lot like Tracy; Tracy wouldn’t be this talkative. She would only listen with a quiet smile and occasionally interject a few words; she didn’t have the lively interest of the girl named Mu Lan before her.

Yet, Liu Ai still missed Tracy terribly and wanted to know where she had gone, why she had suddenly disappeared without a trace.

“Liu Ai?”

“Sorry, I just spaced out for a moment.”

“I’m really sorry, I can’t help but think of her when I see you.”

“I really hope she’ll get back in touch with you soon, so maybe I’ll have the chance to meet someone who looks a lot like me but has a completely different personality, hmm, it should be quite intriguing.”

Liu Ai smiled and nodded.

“Alright, then if there’s a chance, I’ll definitely introduce you two. If you don’t mind, may I add you on WeChat?”

Mu Lan was thrilled—this was supermodel Liu Ai asking for her WeChat, a fool would decline!

“Of course, you can.”

Mu Lan eagerly opened her WeChat QR code, and as Liu Ai saw her WeChat profile photo, a flicker of light in the depths of her eyes completely dimmed.

Indeed, it was not Tracy.

After parting ways with Liu Ai, Mu Lan happily clutched her phone.

Yun Xi didn’t understand why Mu Lan was so excited over just adding WeChat.

“Yun Xi, Liu Ai added me on WeChat, oh my gosh, today I am the happiest person.

When will she wear my clothes on the runway, strutting them on the catwalks at the major fashion weeks.

Ah, although I know it’s just daydreaming, it’s nice to have dreams. I’m definitely going to make it happen.”

“You, want to be a designer?”

Rarely, Yun Xi took the initiative to follow up on her words, which moved Mu Lan deeply.

“Yes, it’s just strange. I can’t seem to draw what I want. I have loads of inspiration, but the sketches aren’t at all what I envision in my head.

It’s so bizarre… you think it could be related to my memory loss?”

Yun Xi didn’t speak, merely glancing at Mu Lan.

“Maybe.”

Mu Lan touched her chin and pondered deeply.

“You think maybe I should try to recover my memory? It might help inspire a burst of creativity.”

Yun Xi didn’t speak; such a significant suggestion was not hers to give.

“But how to recover my memory? They said there was a blood clot in my brain, and now that it’s gone, my memory still hasn’t returned.

Sigh… I hope it doesn’t mean another car accident…”

Hearing Mu Lan’s thoughts, Yun Xi couldn’t help but say:

Her head collided against the co-driver’s seat, leaving her feeling somewhat dizzy.
