Shi Gao chuckled and lowered her voice to say, “Auntie sure is perceptive. Did you know Xiang Yang was a bad character all along? Tsk, if only Lin Yu and I were half as skilled as you.”

Han Yuan was flattered and in the mood for gossip. “Are you talking about… those rumors that were going around about Xiang Yang before?” she asked. “What was it about anyway? I didn’t hear much. Don’t let Xu Yun’s quiet demeanor fool you; she’s swift and efficient—she silenced all the rumors before they could take off.”

Shi Gao was secretly delighted at the chance to discredit Xiang Yang. Her lips curled in contempt as she said, “The truth is the truth. They can silence it for now, but they can’t silence it forever. Xiang Yang only managed to hide her filthy past after she married into the Shi family! Why do you think she never shows her face in the media? It’s not because she’s cold and aloof—she just couldn’t show her face in public because of her shameful past! Hmph! Let me tell you…”

The three women gathered together and gossiped. Han Yuan was dumbfounded by what she heard, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel vindicated.

Shi Gao was also elated. ‘The Shi family can suppress the media and silence the rumors, but they can’t stop the news from beingpassed by word ofmouth amongst the upper-class ladies,’ she thought. ‘ What right does a disreputable woman like Xiang Yang have to enjoy glory and wealth? What right does a woman like Yun Nan, who crawled out of a rubbish dump, have to be superior to me?

Yun Nan knew nothing about these schemes hidden in the shadows and wouldn’t care, even if she knew. Right now, all her thoughts were on Fang Xi.

Fang Xi woke up. However, there were some problems with her memory. She didn’t remember who Yun Nan or Shi Xiu were; she’d lost her memory of everyone and everything. Fang Xi had even lost the memory of who she was—didn’t know her name, where she lived, or who her family were. It was as if only her physical body was awake, but her soul was trapped elsewhere. The current Fang Xi was like a blank sheet of paper.

“Post-traumatic amnesia is common after a serious head injury,” the doctor explained. “The patient suffered a head trauma, and there’s still some blood clots in her head that haven’t been completely absorbed. The blood clots probably restricted certain areas of her central nervous system, causing her to lose her memory. The memory loss might be temporary, but with our current medical knowledge and technology, it’s unclear whether or not she’ll fully recover her memories and when she will recover them.”

When the doctor came to such a conclusion, Ye Kun breathed a sigh of relief and stated firmly, “It’s okay. It’s fine if she doesn’t remember anything. She’s awake, and that’s all that matters.’

Yun Nan looked at Ye Kun approvingly, thinking, ‘ Yeah. It’s not a bad thing for her to forget certain things.’

Ye Kun looked at Yun Nan. “Yun Nan, you can go and have a chat with Fang Xi first. It’s always easier for girls to get close to each other.”

Yun Nan once again had a whole new level of respect for Ye Kun. ‘Ye Kun’s a true gentleman for not taking advantage ofFang Xi’s current state.’
