Mr. Yu, your wife has gone crazy after her rebirth.

"who is she?"

A cold and deep voice came out slowly, and his posture was as straight as a pine tree, without any hesitation. The assistant beside him quickly came over and answered respectfully:

"Master, that is the eldest granddaughter of the Jiang family, Miss Jiang Youling. She is Mr. Jiang's favorite granddaughter."

Pei Nianzhou's smooth eyebrows slightly frowned, his eyes darkened slightly, and suddenly, the corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing a thin smile: "Oh?"

After Jiang Youling's performance ended, the banquet never reached its previous climax again.

After Jiang Youling's performance, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually calmed down. Mr. Jiang also lost interest and left the banquet early with several old friends, leaving a group of young people to continue having fun.

Jiang's Hotel is located on the seaside. Behind the hotel, the sea breeze is cool and the beach is soft.

Jiang Youling sat alone on a bench, her slender fingers gently massaging her temples.

The melody she played a moment ago was forced to recall from memory. Although she had heard this piece of music before, she had never played it herself.

Since she had not concentrated so intensely for a long time, the overload of her brain power caused her to experience pain and discomfort...

It is far beyond what ordinary people can easily endure.

However, such pain and discomfort were still within her tolerance range...

She suddenly felt a slight pressure on her shoulder, and a familiar cold fragrance surrounded her.

Jiang Youling looked down at the suit draped over her shoulders and let out a breath.

Yu Zhiyan sat down beside her.

Jiang Youling lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

Yu Zhiyan said nothing and suddenly held her hand.

She felt a hint of coolness on her fingertips, and this sudden feeling made Jiang Youling open her eyes immediately.

In the sunlight, a beam of cold silver light quickly passed by her eyes, and then a silver ring quietly appeared on her ring finger.

This ring is extremely ordinary, with unrecognizable patterns engraved on it. The carving process seems a bit crude, the color is slightly faded, and the texture feels a bit cheap to the touch.

When Jiang Youling's eyes fell on the silver ring, her heart was filled with stormy waves.

"How...how did you get this ring?"

Her thoughts were quickly pulled back to the past, and those fragments related to the ring came to her mind one after another, flashing back quickly like movie scenes.

Her mood was hard to calm down, just like the sea ravaged by a storm, with turbulent waves.

Yu Zhiyan's brows were knitted tightly together, and a hint of melancholy was revealed on his face. Jiang Youling didn't know what he wanted to do. She just wanted to know what he knew now.

"Wear it first, so that some people won't forget it."

"Yu Zhiyan, I'm asking you a question." Jiang Youling felt irritated and uneasy. Her thoughts were in a mess and she just wanted to sort things out as soon as possible.

Yu Zhiyan looked at the impatient Jiang Youling, his eyes revealing a complex emotion. He tried his best to remain calm, and his tone was gentle, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness:

"Don't you remember? Yeah, but you ended up with someone else."

It is hard to imagine that a man who is always full of self-confidence can show such vulnerability.

"What! You...you are...that Gu Yao..."

"little care"

Only one person calls her Xiaoyi, while her parents and friends habitually call her Yiyi.

Once, Jiang Youling did not think deeply about it, but just casually asked why Gu Yao did not call her Xiaoyi anymore.

At that time, Gu Yao's answer was unusually serious. He said that he hoped to treat her sincerely like a family member, so he felt it was more intimate to call her Yiyi.

At that time, Jiang Youling did not delve into the meaning behind it, but just felt that his expression was a little strange. Looking back now, that scene seemed to reveal his guilty conscience.

It was as if a stone was thrown deep into her heart, causing ripples. Uncontrollable excitement and complex emotions rolled in her heart.

"I'm sorry, I was out of the country at that time, and by the time I received the news, it was too late."

"I couldn't accept the fact that you would die, so I immediately sent a large number of people to investigate. I finally found you who was hidden by Su Lanjing, but unfortunately, I still didn't arrive in time and only salvaged your body."

This was a painful memory that Yu Zhiyan never wanted to touch, and his heart was filled with self-blame and regret.

He firmly believed that if he had not gone abroad to discuss business at that time, Xiaoyi might have escaped the fatal crisis and avoided an unfortunate ending.

He often fell into deep thought, thinking over and over again about that moment, trying to find out every minute and every second of his lateness, hoping to change the course of history and get Xiaoyi back to his side.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not erase the past that could never be undone.

Whenever he mentioned this incident, endless sadness and pain welled up in his heart, as if he was experiencing that terrible moment again.

"This ring is wrapped with veronica, a wild flower found everywhere in the countryside, and it carries our memories of that dangerous time."

"At that time, we were targeted by bad guys. You could have escaped by yourself, but you chose to stay to save me."

"We were only seven or eight years old at that time. Although you were very young, even two years younger than me, you claimed to know martial arts and were determined not to leave me behind to escape alone."

"However, your so-called martial arts that day were nothing more than some immature moves in the eyes of adults. They were far from enough to deal with real danger."

Yu Zhiyan recalled those old times and couldn't help but shook his head helplessly: "I was so innocent back then. I actually believed everything you said."

There was a hint of nostalgia in his laughter, as if he was reminiscing about those innocent days, even though they were facing such a dangerous situation at that time.

"This ring was knitted for me by you during that difficult time. We each wore one, and agreed that if we could escape, it would be a mark for us to recognize each other."

Jiang Youling stood there in shock. She was stunned and listened attentively, as if she couldn't believe her ears:

"So, how did Gu Yao know about this ring?"

Yu Zhiyan immediately suppressed his surprise and said seriously, "What did you say? He knows about this ring? You determined that he is my childhood self based on this ring? So he pretended to be me?"

"So, I recognized the wrong person. Gu Yao pretended to be you to contact me, and it was you who helped me collect the bodies, right?" Jiang Youling's words revealed her shock at the truth and her misunderstanding of the past.

"Yes"

All the truth was revealed, and Jiang Youling's mood became extremely complicated. She didn't know whether to feel lucky or sad.

Fortunately, she avoided the fate of spending the rest of her life with an imposter, but sadly, there was someone who had been silently enduring all of this behind her, and she knew nothing about it.

"Why...why don't you come find me, or expose him."

Yu Zhiyan paused and smiled indifferently, "You looked very happy at that time, and I really didn't want to break this happiness."

At this moment, Jiang Youling felt a sudden sadness and she couldn't help wanting to cry.

She had never expected that someone had been watching her silently from behind, and she was shocked by the deep emotion. Putting herself in his shoes, she was not sure whether she could be so deep and selfless.

"I'm sorry, I...I didn't know...I didn't expect..."

Jiang Youling's emotions were a little confused, and her speech became jumbled and rapid, unable to be organized into coherent words.

She seemed to be in a dilemma, unable to find the right words to express the hurt she had caused him, and her heart was filled with confusion and guilt.
