Chapter 79.1
“No, it’s not normal if you forget this.”
Jiang Xu looked at him anxiously, his mind racing with ideas but not daring to guess.
Lin An Lan looked at his anxious and worried eyes and simply showed him his cards, “I did forget, parts of my memory are missing. About you, about my parents, about Cheng Yu, everyone is missing. That’s fair enough, so I don’t think it’s a big deal.”
Jiang Xu was shocked.
He had speculated on countless possibilities before he had arrived. He had even wondered if Lin An Lan had lost his memory, but then denied it, because something like memory loss was too dramatic for it to be possible.
And yet he hadn’t thought that the thing he thought was most unlikely would be the truth of the matter.
“You’ve lost your memory.” Jiang Xu looked at him in horror, “When did you lose your memory? What else do you remember?”
“Just a little while ago. I remember Cheng Yu as my boyfriend, I remember you as my friend, and I remember Zhuo Siya as my manager, right?”
“Of course not!” Jiang Xu grabbed his arm, wishing he could pour his memories into Lin An Lan’s, “Cheng Yu isn’t your boyfriend! He’s not! What makes you think he’s your boyfriend? He’s lying to you!”
Jiang Xu panicked, realizing for the first time just how dire the situation was now.
He had previously thought that Lin An Lan was gambling, that Lin An Lan was angry with him, that Lin An Lan was playing games with Cheng Yu for him.
But now he suddenly realized that it might not be what he had imagined.
Lin An Lan had lost his memories, and Lin An Lan had stayed by Cheng Yu’s side, which meant that there was simply too much for Cheng Yu to do!
He could have fabricated a false memory for Lin An Lan, he could have deceived Lin An Lan and achieved what he had always wanted.
No wonder Lin An Lan was now defending Cheng Yu, no wonder he was fighting with him over Cheng Yu.
He had thought that Lin An Lan was just putting on a show and he had advised him that there was no need to do so, but now it seemed that it was simply Cheng Yu who had tricked him!
“This liar! He’s so heartless and shameless!”
“You’re the one who’s shameless.” Lin An Lan retorted, “Didn’t you hear me? I remember him as my boyfriend, not a liar. Then according to you, you’re also a liar, since I remember you as my friend?”
Jiang Xu was helpless, “I’m not like him.”
“Of course, you’re not like him. He’s not as shameless as you are.”
“Xiao Lan.” Jiang Xu said, simply at a loss as to how to persuade him.
“Don’t be so hostile to me, okay? I’m not going to lie to you, I’m the only one in this world that you can trust completely.”
Lin An Lan snorted, “Really? I don’t believe it.”
He looked at Jiang Xu, cocked his head and asked him, “Are you trustworthy? We agreed back then that you wouldn’t go to Cheng Feng and I wouldn’t take up with Cheng Yu, and I really didn’t take up with him later, did I, but what about you? Did you go to Cheng Feng?”
Jiang Xu was silent for an instant.
A hint of panic flashed in his eyes as he said, “I didn’t.”
“Say it again.” Lin An Lan moved closer to him and stared intently into his eyes.
Jiang Xu wanted to lie to him, but he had hardly ever done so since he was a child and he had no experience of lying in front of Lin An Lan, especially now, when Lin An Lan was staring seriously into his eyes.
Instinctively, he said sheepishly, “I…I just couldn’t help it.”
“Couldn’t help it? You just couldn’t help it?” Lin An Lan looked at him mockingly, “What did you say when you promised me at that time and what was the result? Jiang Xu, is it fun to feign compliance? You are like this, and you still have the nerve to say that you are the only one, who I can trust completely.”
“Don’t you feel bad about it?”
“I just… I just want a family.”
Jiang Xu held his hand, but Lin An Lan shook it off.
Jiang Xu panicked, “I looked at you every day, I looked at your family. Xiao Lan, I want a father too, I want a family too, do you understand?”
“I told you, if you want a family, I can be your family!”
“It’s not the same.” Jiang Xu argued, “I can be your family too, but I can’t replace your dad, can I? I just want to have a dad and an elder of my own, just like you.”
“But does your father recognize you?” Lin An Lan said angrily, “If he wanted to acknowledge you, he would have known you existed. Did he want to recognize you? Even now, if he did, you wouldn’t not dare tell me that you went to see him behind my back. He didn’t acknowledge you right? He doesn’t recognize you as his son at all, does he?”
Jiang Xu’s face went ashen.
He was silent for a long time before he spoke hoarsely, “Yes, he doesn’t want to acknowledge me.”
“You should have thought of that a long time ago.”
“But I am indeed his son, I just lost because my surname is not Yu, otherwise, he would have been willing to admit that I am his son too!”
Lin An Lan thought it was ridiculous and said, “Jiang Xu, get this straight, you are the son of your mother and Cheng Feng, you can never be named Yu, if you wanted to be named Yu, then there would be no Jiang Xu in the world. The genes in you, half of your bloodline, came from your mother, only her union with Cheng Feng could have given birth to you, and she, too, will always be just Jiang Liying.”
“I know, that’s why I accepted it, didn’t I?”
“Did you really? Because if you did, what is the reason for your resentment towards Cheng Yu now?”
“From the beginning to the end, what did he do wrong? Who are you to resent him?!”
“Xiao Lan!” exclaimed Jiang Xu, “Don’t speak for him, will you? You know I hate him!”
