The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 98: Chapter 97: Oh, You Suddenly Lost Your Memory Chapter 98: Chapter 97: Oh, You Suddenly Lost Your Memory Shen Jingchuan frowned. Blacklisting? Couldn’t he have a bit of a temper?

He poked at the sand on the ground with some impatience and said in a tense voice,

“Hurry up, what is it you want to talk to me about? If you delay any longer, the crew will notice we’ve muted our mics.”

Wenyan was indeed worried about this and quickly said,

“Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that night at home when you asked me to borrow money.”

“Mm!”

As soon as money was mentioned, Shen Jingchuan’s face darkened immediately. Not because Wenyan hadn’t lent him money, but because he was truly fucking broke! Absolutely penniless!

Just thinking about it irked him!

“Uh…” [He’s got a black face now, can we really continue talking? If I say I lost my memory, is he going to kick me away?]

Shen Jingchuan: “……” He had a bad temper, but did he really look like someone who would hit people at any moment?

“You keep talking.”

“Okay, but before that, I want to tell you about a strange adventure of mine. It might sound bizarre, but I’m definitely not lying.”

Shen Jingchuan: “……” Could there be anything more bizarre than returning to his country and suddenly discovering he could hear someone’s inner voice?

“It goes like this, you know about the imposter Shen Zhirou incident, right?”

“Nonsense.”

“Then you know I was the first to find something amiss, right?”

“I know, Mom already told me. Actually… never mind.”

“Hmm?” Shen Jingchuan had only spoken half of his thought before stopping suddenly, which piqued Wenyan’s curiosity, “What is it, keep talking.”

[Please, don’t make me beg you, just say it, don’t leave me hanging.]

Shen Jingchuan: “…… Never mind, it’s a waste of time. You go ahead with your story.”

“…Alright.” Although she was very curious about what he hadn’t been able to say, he was right, they couldn’t waste time.

“Actually, the details about the imposter Shen Zhirou that didn’t add up have been there for a while, but for the past few years, I hadn’t noticed them at all. However, on the night of Mom’s birthday, I suddenly woke up and felt something was very wrong.”

Wenyan didn’t intend to reveal to anyone in this world about her time travel, so she borrowed the ‘awakening’ term mentioned by the original owner of the body.

“Mm, you woke up, and then what?” Shen Jingchuan’s brows furrowed even more.

Suddenly woke up?! It was bizarre, but he could hear her inner voice, ah!

“Then I felt that Shen Zhirou was a problem, so I started investigating. Later, my second brother, eldest brother, dad, and mom all became aware, and through everyone’s joint efforts, we quickly uncovered the truth. It’s a good thing, right? But then I had a tragedy?”

“Oh? As the price for your sudden awakening, you suddenly lost your memory??”

“!!!!!” Wenyan was stunned, “How do you know?! You… you don’t have the same experience as me, do you?”

[But it doesn’t seem like it, he doesn’t seem to have forgotten me and the family.]

What else could Shen Jingchuan say, “I guessed. Actually, upon reflecting, even though we had unpleasantness because of the imposter Shen Zhirou, you don’t seem like the kind of person who would default on a debt. So, I thought, you might have lost your memory.”

“Default on a debt?” Wenyan got hit hard again, “Last time didn’t you say it was a promise? Are you mocking me? But whether it’s really defaulting on a debt or not fulfilling a promise, I assure you I definitely didn’t do it on purpose.”

Shen Jingchuan took a deep breath, a sign his patience was nearly spent.

“So, you really did lose your memory, and you seem to have become completely unfamiliar with me. Did you delete all our previous chat history?!”

Wenyan shook her head helplessly, “I don’t know, I’ve changed quite a few phones over time, and I’ve checked all the phones I could find, but there’s no chat history, just blank space. I guess it’s also been quite a long time since we last talked.”

“Oh, it’s been a while.” Shen Jingchuan suddenly changed the topic, “It looks like you’re not doing very well either, joining this show. Forget about borrowing that ten million.”

Wenyan reacted immediately, “So you’re doing this show for the money?”

“What else? Surprised? Would I ask you for a loan if I weren’t strapped for cash? Alright, you can go now, the fire’s about to catch.”

“But I still don’t know what the ten million is all about.”

“Let’s talk about it after the show when I get my phone back. I’ll screenshot it for you then.”

“But the show is going to take seven—”

Before Wenyan could finish, someone from the director’s team came running over.

He asked the two, “What’s going on, is there a problem with the mic?”

“Yes,” Shen Jingchuan lied without batting an eyelid, “there was a little problem, so I restarted it. It’s alright now.”

As he spoke, he turned the mic back on right in front of the show’s director.

Wenyan didn’t have the nerve that Shen Jingchuan did, and only turned his mic back on after the director left.

Just then, the pile of hay in front of them suddenly started to smoke.

“There are sparks! It’s catching fire!”

“I see it.” Shen Jingchuan didn’t say more and carefully carried the kindling over to the campsite.

They finally had fire and their voices were back.

The live chat was in an uproar at this moment.

In fact, since Shen Jingchuan and Wenyan muted their mics, the live chat had already become discontented.

‘What’s the deal? Did we just watch a silent movie?’

‘Yeah, what the heck were those two talking about?’

‘I don’t believe they just sat there fanning the flames in silence, I saw them nodding and shaking their heads.’

‘Argh, I can’t stand it!’

‘What could those two possibly have to talk about?’

‘It must have been a mic problem, probably we in the live chat spotted the issue and the show’s crew sent a director over after seeing it.’

‘Then the director went and had a word with them, and then the sound came back.’

‘Wuwuwu, I know your explanation is right, but I don’t need it. I want to know what they were saying just now.’

‘They didn’t say anything, right? Just starting a fire.’

‘Who would believe that? They sat there for minutes without speaking a word?’

‘Wuwuwu, can the sound be restored when the official episode comes out?’

‘What are you thinking about in front? Just now, from that angle, there wasn’t even a cameraman close by to follow them, everyone was far away, no one knows what they said. It’s likely that those few minutes will be cut from the official episode.’

‘Ah, no way! The less you let me hear, the more curious I become. Did they know each other before or something?’

‘I don’t think Alex’s personality is the type to initiate communication. Even Min Xiasha, who tried to approach him, got yelled at and dismissed without any face given to her. How could he actively allow Wenyan to stay by his side?’

‘Ah, am I experiencing a breakup before I’ve even been in love?’

‘Yeah, look at Wenyan’s face when he left, his smile had changed, he looked really happy.’

‘Wuwu, if I could sit by Alex for a few minutes, I’d be happy too.’

Wenyan indeed felt pretty good.

Because Shen Jingchuan wasn’t as difficult as she had imagined, he accepted her claim of memory loss so easily.

Surely, the previous misunderstanding would be cleared up soon.
