She Lost Memory Before the Divorce

Chapter 156: Chapter 0156: But You are Amnesiac Before the Divorce

Mu Lan looked at Lin Yize, her eyes filled with bleak coolness.

“I’m doing this for myself, it has nothing to do with Huo Tingxiao.

Lin Yize, I have no romantic feelings for you, this is between you and me, do you understand?”

Lin Yize, struck as if by lightning, could no longer maintain his usual gentle demeanor.

With both hands, he grabbed Mu Lan’s shoulders and fiercely pinned her against the wall; the sudden impact caused Mu Lan to wince in pain.

“Lin Yize, have you lost your mind?”

Lin Yize’s eyes were filled with pain, unable to accept the words she had just uttered.

“Are you the one who’s lost your mind? What kind of person is Huo Tingxiao, don’t you know?

Mu Lan, you’ve forgotten how he treated you before; that’s why you are deceived by him today!”

Mu Lan looked at Lin Yize in shock.

“How… how do you know…”

Lin Yize gave a sorrowful smile, softening his tone.

“I know everything. If you were happy after marrying him, that would be fine, but how have you lived these past seven years? How do people in Sea City think of you, the nominal Mrs. Huo? Even if you have lost your memory, Gu Xiaoman will tell you everything one by one.

Why are you still deluding yourself? You have already wasted seven years on Huo Tingxiao, Mu Lan. You should start a new life.

That man is cold and heartless. He doesn’t deserve you at all! Why do you persist in your delusion? Why do you torture yourself like this?”

Mu Lan looked at the somewhat agitated Lin Yize, her heart pounding. The normally gentle man now filled her with dread.

“Lin Yize, calm down. It’s true that I’ve lost my memory, but I’m not out of my mind. I have my own judgment.

What happens between Huo Tingxiao and me is none of anyone else’s business. Whatever I choose to do is entirely my own decision.”

Outsider? Lin Yize let out a bitter smile, realizing he was nothing more than that.

“You’d rather be hurt by Huo Tingxiao than give a chance to someone who truly loves you with all his heart?”

The pleading tone of his voice made Mu Lan’s heart skip a beat. It wasn’t that she was moved by Lin Yize’s deep affection, but she suddenly wondered if she too had been crazily obsessed with Huo Tingxiao like this before her memory loss.

“Love isn’t an exchange of goods, a transaction settled with cash.

Lin Yize, I can only say I’m sorry for your sincere feelings.

You saved me once, and I will certainly repay that kindness, but I will never repay it with my love.”

Lin Yize quietly watched Mu Lan, then let go with hands that had lost their strength and hung heavily.

“After you regain your memory, you will definitely regret it.

Mu Lan, I’m waiting for the day when you remember how cruel Huo Tingxiao has been to you, remember his past coldness and indifference.

You will definitely regret it.”

Mu Lan endured the pain in her back and said word by word:

“I will not trouble myself with things that may or may not happen in the future.

If I will regret after regaining my memory, then that’s a matter for later. What I need to do now is to take care of what needs to be done in the present.

If you wish to continue wasting your time on me, that is your own choice, and I cannot interfere.

But please remember, don’t overstep your bounds. I will not just sit by and take it.

Also, please explain to Aunt Yun on my behalf. I will no longer contact her, but I still wish her good health and happiness every day.”

After saying that, she didn’t care about the expression on Lin Yize’s face or how hurt his eyes looked.

She turned around and left without looking back!

Lin Yize extended a hand and ran his long fingers through his hair, gripping hard as a way to vent the anger in his heart.

He wouldn’t let go so easily. He definitely would not let go so easily!

When Mu Lan returned to the banquet hall, she was stopped in her path by Pei Zhao at the door.

“You don’t remember me?”

Looking at Pei Zhao in front of him, his face clearly wore a smile, yet it gave off an inexplicably uncomfortable feeling.

“I don’t know what Mr. Pei means.

Could it be we have met before?”

Pei Zhao smiled, his expression becoming more inscrutable.

“It seems you really have lost your memory, or else your attitude toward me wouldn’t be like this.

This is bad, should I explain our relationship… never mind, it would just be a burden.”

Mu Lan frowned, feeling that this man was clearly trying to pique her curiosity on purpose.

“Since it’s a burden, then Mr. Pei needn’t say anything.

I’m someone who hates trouble the most.”

Obviously, Pei Zhao hadn’t expected Mu Lan to respond that way; the smile on his face gradually faded as he looked at her with amusement.

“Your personality has changed quite a bit; no wonder Tingxiao is now treating you differently.

He might seem reticent, but he just can’t resist someone who’s enthusiastic.”

Mu Lan didn’t understand what Pei Zhao was implying, but she was certainly not about to let him lead her by the nose.

“Mr. Pei seems quite familiar, speaking like this to someone you’ve just met; it’s really rare.

If you have anything to say, please speak directly. Beating around the bush is a waste of both our time, don’t you think?”

Pei Zhao had hit a snag, yet he didn’t seem annoyed.

“As I said, it’s not the first time we’ve met. Although you don’t remember, I remember everything very clearly.

It’s ironic how a car accident caused you to lose your memory; no wonder you didn’t divorce Huo Tingxiao.”

Divorce? Mu Lan was stunned, narrowing her eyes.

“What do you mean by that?”

Pei Zhao looked satisfied watching the changes in Mu Lan’s expression.

“Exactly what it sounds like. You were on the phone with me before the car accident, telling me that you were going to Huo Tingxiao with the divorce agreement to divorce him.

As for the reason… I think you don’t really want to know.”

Damn it, this man was clearly toying with her on purpose.

Mu Lan glared furiously at Pei Zhao, wanting to tell him to get to the point.

But this was a public place, and too vulgar an outburst would reflect poorly on the Mu family.

“You guessed it; I don’t really want to know.

Since I’ve lost my memory, if it’s an unpleasant one, all the better. Why dwell on unpleasant memories and be serious about them?

I’m not someone who likes to make things difficult for myself.”

Pei Zhao scrutinized Mu Lan’s expression closely, trying to determine whether she was feigning nonchalance or if it truly reflected her inner thoughts.

“You don’t have any interest in your past at all?”

“None!”

Mu Lan answered emphatically.

Just as Pei Zhao was about to say more, Huo Tingxiao had walked over, wrapping his arm around Mu Lan, his protective stance evident.

“Since when did Tingxiao become such a wife-protecting maniac?

Public displays like this really aren’t your style.”

Huo Tingxiao looked at Pei Zhao, replying in a tone that was neither warm nor cold:

“No one stays the same forever.”

Mu Lan really couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time with this Mr. Pei, she tiptoed and whispered a few words in Huo Tingxiao’s ear…
