The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 217 A Smell of Tea
This body is too fragile, especially after taking a lot of sleeping pills. Gu Qingyin was afraid that eating something else would irritate her stomach, so she bought a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, which was hot and soft, and could fill her stomach and quickly replenish her energy.

A small table was set up on the bed, and Gu Qingyin placed the bowl of porridge on it and began to eat as if no one was around.

The veins on Zhou Jingchuan's forehead were throbbing, "Gu Qingyin...!"

Eh? Gu Qingyin paused while drinking the porridge. The original owner actually had the same name as her! They also looked alike... She frowned. Could it be that she was thrown into a parallel universe?
Zhou Jingchuan wanted to talk to her about the engagement, but when he thought about her amnesia, he couldn't open his mouth for some reason, even though it was all her own fault. After thinking about it, he started by introducing himself.

"My name is Zhou Jingchuan, and I'm your...fiancé."

Gu Qingyin looked back in shock. My fiancé is right next to me! She shook her head and quickly distanced herself from him. "No, no, no, the engagement has been cancelled. From now on, life and death, marriage and death have nothing to do with each other!"

Seeing that Zhou Jingchuan looked unhappy, she thought carefully and asked again: "Did we exchange any tokens? Or did the elders in our family exchange wedding invitations?"

"No." Zhou Jingchuan pursed his lips tightly, his eyebrows and eyes darkened, "It was just a verbal agreement. After your parents left, this agreement was supposed to be invalidated. It was my mother who couldn't bear to see you alone, so..."

"I understand." Gu Qingyin nodded and said, "I will explain it to my aunt when I am discharged from the hospital." She wiped her mouth and said politely, "Can you answer a few questions for me, please?"

Zhou Jingchuan nodded, "You ask."

"You just said that my parents have passed away, right? Do I live alone now? Are there any close relatives at home? How do I make a living now?"

Zhou Jingchuan thought for a moment and said, "You don't have a job, and you don't usually socialize with people."

He rarely spoke tactfully, for fear of irritating the patient. In fact, what he wanted to say was that Gu Qingyin was usually a homebody and a loner, living like a ghost, not likable, and without even a single friend.

After thinking about it, Zhou Jingchuan continued, "The inheritance your parents left you, as well as the insurance money from the accident, is enough for you to spend several lifetimes doing nothing."

Gu Qingyin suddenly realized, and then she was even more confused. Without any top-notch relatives and with a huge inheritance, why would she commit suicide? After thinking about it, there was only one reason.

She looked at Zhou Jingchuan, "Were we on good terms before?"

Zhou Jingchuan looked at her with a complicated expression.

Before this, Gu Qingyin was indeed very dependent on him, and he had thought about taking good care of her out of pity, but he really had no feelings for her. Whether in terms of interests or personalities, they were too incompatible.

So, after trying for a while, Zhou Jingchuan gave up and began to deliberately keep a distance from her, hoping to find a suitable time to completely cancel the engagement.

Right now...maybe this is the best opportunity.

"We're just friends. I have someone I like." Zhou Jingchuan said directly, "If you don't mention it, I plan to cancel the engagement after a while. I can't let Xiaoxiao suffer any injustice."

Gu Qingyin understood, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him became a little subtle. It was probably because the original owner liked this fiancé, and then the fiancé liked someone else... Alas, there are thousands of men in the world, why can't sisters think so hard!
"You and that Xiaoxiao, haven't you already confirmed your relationship?"

Zhou Jingchuan frowned subconsciously, "No, don't think about it."

Gu Qingyin shrugged, didn't ask any further questions, turned around and continued drinking her porridge.

Zhou Jingchuan should have breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows furrowed even more tightly, obviously not used to her indifferent attitude.

"You have a good rest, I'm leaving first."

Gu Qingyin waved politely, "Bye, no need to close the door, I need some fresh air."

Zhou Jingchuan took a deep breath, feeling a little unwilling for some reason. "Just let me know when you are discharged from the hospital and I will pick you up." Afraid that she would refuse, he immediately added, "Go directly to my house and explain everything to my mother." Gu Qingyin nodded. "Okay, is there anything that Auntie likes? It's not good to visit empty-handed."

Zhou Jingchuan's expression became more complicated, "Your personality has changed a lot since you lost your memory."

Gu Qingyin said calmly, "After all, he has been through the gates of hell once, so it's normal for him to change a little."

"Jadeite." Zhou Jingchuan said: "My mother likes jadeite. Also, she's not my aunt, but my godmother."

Gu Qingyin nodded to show that she understood, "Goodbye."

Zhou Jingchuan walked a few steps towards the door and then stopped, turned to look at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Gu Qingyin sighed and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't explained?"

Zhou Jingchuan said with determination, "You will always be my sister. You can come to me if you encounter anything in the future."

Gu Qingyin hummed twice perfunctorily, just wanting to get rid of the person quickly so that she could watch the variety show while drinking porridge.

The result was contrary to expectations. Before Zhou Jingchuan could reach the door, someone knocked on the ward door again, and then the door was pushed open.

Gu Qingyin thought it was a medical worker, but a delicate-looking woman in a long dress came in. She smelled of tea as soon as she opened her mouth.

The woman stopped at the door, looked at Gu Qingyin on the bed, then looked at Zhou Jingchuan, her eyes suddenly reddened, "Sorry, did I disturb you?"

Zhou Jingchuan immediately showed a distressed expression, walked over and held the woman's hand, "No, I was just about to leave."

The woman looked at Gu Qingyin worriedly again, "Sister Gu, don't you need someone to accompany you? Jingchuan, you are busy with work and don't have time, I can stay and take care of my sister."

Zhou Jingchuan disagreed, "Your hands are for painting, how can you do such rough work? If she really needs care, just hire a nurse."

The woman shook her head and refused, "How can an outsider be as careful as a family member?"

Zhou Jingchuan frowned again, "Otherwise, let Aunt Chen come over."

The woman's heart skipped a beat. Aunt Chen was the cook in the Zhou family's old house and had been doing so for more than twenty years. She had a special status in the Zhou family. If she really called her over, wouldn't that be assisting Gu Qingyin?
She shook her head again, "Mrs. Chen is old, and I'm afraid she won't be able to stay up late at night, so I'll do it."

One of them was giving advice while the other kept rejecting it with a distressed look. Gu Qingyin on the hospital bed stopped drinking his porridge and had an expression like an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

"Well... everyone has hobbies. I don't understand but I respect that. But if you want to act in idol dramas, can you please not act in my ward? I prefer watching variety shows!"

The two people at the door froze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Gu Qingyin's eyes fell on the woman and guessed, "Are you Xiaoxiao?"

The woman was stunned and looked back in confusion. Why did Gu Qingyin ask such a question when she knew the answer? Her tone was still so calm. Did she change her approach?
Beside him, Zhou Jingchuan reminded, "She has lost her memory."

Lin Xiao was surprised for a moment, then showed a distressed expression, "Don't be sad, we will accompany you to recall the past and help you recover as soon as possible."

Gu Qingyin raised an eyebrow, "I'm young and beautiful, single and rich, I live a free life, and my body... will be healthy soon. What should I be sad about?"

Lin Xiao was stunned again. Single...?
