Sang Yuwan’s return had, after all, caused quite a stir in Jing City.
After all, the people connected to Sang Yuwan held different statuses and positions.
Take her ex-husband Sheng Xinhao, for instance—well, it was uncertain if “ex-husband” was the right term, since he and Sang Yuwan had never divorced.
Yet Sheng Xinhao had indeed married Fang Wanrong afterward.
Although Sheng Xinhao was now retired, his status and influence were still significant, especially regarding his network of connections.
Additionally, despite his age, Sheng Xinhao didn’t look particularly old, and he had maintained his appearance well.
Therefore, after Fang Wanrong was arrested and Sheng Xinhao divorced her,
many people had still been interested in becoming the next Mrs. Sheng.
Now that Sang Yuwan had returned, everyone had to abandon that notion.
After all, anyone could see that Sheng Xinhao’s heart still belonged to Sang Yuwan.
As for Sang Yuwan herself, her son, Sheng Zexi, was now a brigade-level cadre in the Jing City Military Region, with boundless prospects. It was likely his future achievements might even surpass his father’s.
Then there was her daughter-in-law, Gu Jianing, a renowned miracle doctor, a professor at Jing City University, and a national-level researcher.
And Sang Yuwan’s father was the head of a weapons research institute.
So, Sang Yuwan’s own status was already considerable, bolstered by these connections.
However, when people learned what Sang Yuwan did now, they were even more astonished.
“Sang Yuwan is the chairwoman of Yunshu Zhilian in Country A?”
For those in the upper echelons of Jing City, information from abroad was naturally familiar.
They knew just how powerful Yunshu Zhilian was in Country A.
And now, it turned out this company was founded by Sang Yuwan.
“I remember, wasn’t Sang Yuwan a journalist before? How, after returning over a decade later, did she become the chairwoman of such a massive company?”
Moreover, Yunshu Zhilian held a significant position in Country A. Its electronics and automobiles were immensely popular worldwide.
Naturally, it was also extremely profitable.
“This just goes to show that exceptional people excel no matter where they go or what they do.”
“Not to mention, exceptional people tend to flock together.”
Indeed, every member of Sang Yuwan’s family was outstanding in their own right.
While Jing City society buzzed with discussions about Sang Yuwan’s return,
Sang Yuwan herself was in Gu Jianing’s office.
Today was the day Sang Yuwan was scheduled to receive treatment from Gu Jianing to restore her memories. Sheng Xinhao, Grandpa Sang, and Grandma Sang had all come.
As for Sheng Zexi, he had wanted to come, but the military region was too busy today for him to take time off.
When Sang Yuwan arrived at Gu Jianing’s office, she discovered that the doctor she and Henry had been looking for—the one who could help people conceive—turned out to be Ningning.
She thought that if she had met Ningning earlier, perhaps Ningning would have recognized her from the start.
They wouldn’t have had to wait until Yangcheng to reunite.
Still, it hadn’t been that long in the grand scheme of things.
Besides, those fated to meet, even if they miss each other time and again, will always cross paths eventually.
This revelation made Sang Yuwan appreciate Gu Jianing’s medical expertise even more.
Her daughter-in-law was truly exceptional.
In terms of medicine, she seemed proficient in every area.
The more she looked at Gu Jianing, the more satisfied and fond she became.
“Mom, please sit down. I’m going to begin the hypnosis to restore your memories.”
“Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, you’ll need to wait outside.”
“Oh, we understand.”
They knew that when a doctor treats a patient, privacy was often necessary.
So, Sheng Xinhao, Grandpa Sang, Grandma Sang, and the others stepped out.
The office door slowly closed behind them.
Inside the office, only Gu Jianing and Sang Yuwan remained.
“Mom, don’t be nervous. Just relax.”
“By the way, Mom, could I borrow your pocket watch?” Gu Jianing asked.
“Alright.”
Sang Yuwan took off the pocket watch hanging around her neck.
Ever since Henry had returned it to her, she had worn it constantly.
Gu Jianing held the pocket watch by its chain, dangling it before Sang Yuwan, letting it swing slowly back and forth.
“Relax. Now, watch the pocket watch.”
“Let your eyes follow its movement…”
After binding Sang Yuwan as a patient via the system in Yangcheng, Gu Jianing had found time to enter the system space and study the medical knowledge related to hypnosis.
Of course, the system space had provided the necessary coursework.
In the end, Gu Jianing had passed with flying colors.
So she was confident in her ability to treat Sang Yuwan.
Following Gu Jianing’s instructions, Sang Yuwan felt herself growing more and more relaxed, her eyelids growing heavier.
Before she knew it, her eyes had closed.
Though her eyes were shut, she could still hear Gu Jianing’s voice, and her mind remained clear.
Then, in an instant,
Sang Yuwan felt as though something flashed through the blankness of her mind…
She saw it.
She saw the moments of her childhood, the days spent with her parents.
She also saw how she and Sheng Xinhao had met and fallen in love, their marriage, and the birth of their son, whom they named Sheng Zexi.
Sang Yuwan had undoubtedly cherished this son.
She would have given him the best things in the world.
What she loved most was taking her son to have his picture taken, and whenever she spoke to him, she would always pat his head.
And A Xi…
From the time he was very, very young, he had known how to protect his mother.
He also loved being with her, his mom.
The three of them had lived a happy and fulfilling life together.
Then, as time passed,
her son grew up little by little.
Until he became a handsome young man.
The turning point came when an incident occurred at the border. Sheng Xinhao had to be stationed there, a posting that would last a year or two.
As a journalist, besides wanting to be with her husband, she also wanted to report on the border situation.
So she went along.
At the time, A Xi hadn’t wanted her to go.
Her parents hadn’t wanted her to go either.
Sang Yuwan thought, if only she hadn’t been so stubborn back then. If she hadn’t gone, perhaps none of what followed would have happened.
But what was meant to happen, happened.
She contracted a contagious illness.
Sheng Xinhao had found many doctors, but none could cure her. Eventually, Henry was brought in…
In the office.
Sang Yuwan slowly opened her eyes.
They were already filled with tears.
She murmured, “So, so this is my memory. This is the life I lived in the past.”
In this moment, Sang Yuwan finally felt that her life was complete.
No longer like before, when even though she had lived a happy life with Henry, she still felt an emptiness inside.
And her treasure…
Sang Yuwan slowly grasped the pocket watch…
It was her child.
