Chapter 444: The Hypnotic Doctor Back Then

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Pei Jingzhou did not brush her off this time. He had promised Li Xiwu that he would arrange a doctor for the next two days. He meant what he said and almost without delay. Two days later, Li Xiwu received a call from the psychiatrist from back then.

At that moment, she had just finished her morning meeting and came out of the meeting room. She was waiting for the elevator to return to the office downstairs. The elevator arrived, but she didn’t enter. She turned to the corridor window and picked up the call. “Hello, this is Li Xiwu.”

A young man’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Hello, Mrs. Pei.”

Li Xiwu took down her cell phone and looked at the phone. After confirming that it was an unfamiliar number with no caller ID, she pressed the phone back to her ear. “You are?”

The man introduced himself in a gentle voice. “I’m Jiang Ce.”

Jiang Ce…

Li Xiwu quickly filtered the name in her mind. She didn’t have any memories. It seemed that she really didn’t know him. At least until she met this person, Li Xiwu really couldn’t remember if she knew someone called Jiang Ce. She asked the other party why he had made this call.

There was a smile in Jiang Ce’s voice. “I was your hypnotist back then.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiwu’s breathing stopped. She suddenly gripped her cell phone tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white. On the other end of the line, Jiang Ce seemed to be able to sense her emotions. Actually, it was obvious just by thinking about it. After all, he was the key character in her memory loss.

“Mrs. Pei, I didn’t contact you unilaterally. It was Mr. Pei’s idea, so I took the initiative to contact you. Sorry to disturb you.” Jiang Ce’s tone was neither fast nor slow, making her feel inexplicably relieved.

Li Xiwu said, “Not at all, Doctor Jiang.”

Jiang Ce asked, “When is it convenient for you to be free? We have to meet first.

Li Xiwu raised her eyes and looked out of the window. “It’s convenient for me. Doctor Jiang can decide.”

Jiang Ce said, “From what Mr. Pei said, Mrs. Pei is a little anxious about this matter. Since Mrs. Pei just said that it’s convenient, how about today?”

Today… was indeed too sudden. However, what she said just now came from Li Xiwu’s mouth, so she naturally could not go back on her word easily. She nodded. “Okay, this number is Dr. Jiang’s WeChat, right?”

“Yes,” Jiang Ce replied. “Private WeChat.”

Li Xiwu said, “Then I’ll add you later. Clear it and send it to me after confirming the address.’

Jiang Ce replied, “Okay.”

After ending the call, Li Xiwu sighed. She was clearly the one who desperately wanted to recover her memories, but when she brought the process up, she became timid again. She stared out the window for a long time, then picked up her phone and copied the phone number from before. She opened WeChat to search.

Two minutes later, she and Jiang Ce were each other’s friends.

Jiang Ce sent a location: I’ll wait for Mrs. Pei here before eleven-thirty.

Li Xiwu clicked on the location. It was a relatively high-end cafe.

Exiting the location, she typed a reply: I’ll be there on time.

Jiang Ce did not reply. Li Xiwu also put away her cell phone. She turned around and took the elevator downstairs to her office.

Tomorrow night was the annual banquet. It was definitely busy, so this morning’s meeting was half an hour longer than usual.

The annual banquet of the entertainment media company was similar to the process of other large companies. The only difference was that the other companies’ annual meetings were all company employees. Other than the company employees, all the artists of Hua Guan Media were invited to the annual banquet.

An artist wanted to produce a picture, and the scene had to be big. All the equipment would be carried out according to the standards of the red carpet. It was also the company’s own business, so all aspects would be supervised in a more meticulous and strict manner.

Li Xiwu was busy with the annual banquet tomorrow night when she received a call. Her expression darkened. After ending the call, she called Yuanyuan. “Bring her here.” With that, she hung up and continued to deal with the things in her hands.

Half an hour later, Yuanyuan knocked on the door and entered. “Miss Li.”

Li Xiwu looked up and saw Yuanyuan enter. She did not see Xue Jinzhu behind her and asked, “Where’s Xue Jinzhu?” Yuanyuan pointed at the door. Li Xiwu did not have a good expression on her face, and her tone was a little cold. “Call her in.”

Yuanyuan took a few steps back and said to Xue Jinzhu, “Miss Li wants you to go in.”

Xue Jinzhu’s eyes were red. “I’m too ashamed to see Miss Li.”

Yuanyuan persuaded her, “It’s already happened…”

“Alright, alright, alright!” Xue Jinzhu interrupted Yuanyuan’s persuasion.

“You’ve said this to me more than ten times. My ears are almost calluses.”

Yuanyuan fell silent and looked at Xue Jinzhu silently. This gaze made Xue Jinzhu feel guilty for a few seconds. She sniffled and said, “I’ve already beaten him up. If the other party wants to sue me, just sue me. At most… I’ll apologize.”

Yuanyuan gave her a thumbs up. “You have a plan.”

“Hmph!” Xue Jinzhu composed herself and walked into Li Xiwu’s office with her head held high. At this moment, Li Xiwu was focused on her computer. When she heard the voice, she casually glanced at Xue Jinzhu, who had entered, and continued to deal with her work.

Xue Jinzhu did not dare to disturb her and stood quietly at the side.

Li Xiwu sent an MSN to Qi Jiangchi. The content was the other invitation list she had just checked. After finishing her work, she moved her chair and looked up at Xue Jinzhu, who was standing obediently outside the desk.

Xue Jinzhu sensed Li Xiwu’s gaze and lowered her head even more, not daring to look at her.

Li Xiwu shouted, “Xue Jinzhu.”

Xue Jinzhu’s shoulders trembled and she slowly turned her head. She only

dared to glance at Li Xiwu’s expression from the corner of her eye.

Seeing Li Xiwu’s shocked expression, Xue Jinzhu swallowed hard. “Miss… Miss

Li Xiwu folded her hands and placed them gently on the table. She asked Xue Jinzhu, “Do you know what trouble you’ve caused?”

Xue Jinzhu nodded obediently.

Li Xiwu said, “Answer me.” Xue Jinzhu’s muffled voice said, “I know.”

Li Xiwu frowned. “Louder.’

Li Xiwu suddenly stood up, and the movement almost scared Xue Jinzhu to tears. Actually, Li Xiwu was not scary, and her aura was not scary. However, Xue Jinzhu had done something wrong. She was guilty and flustered, and her face was pale. That was why she was so frightened that she trembled again.

If Li Xiwu were a man, she would have already felt pity for Xue Jinzhu. Li Xiwu couldn’t help but laugh. “What are you afraid of?” Xue Jinzhu’s voice was as thin as a mosquito. “…I hit someone.”

Li Xiwu said, “So you’re afraid that I’ll hit you too?”

Xue Jinzhu nodded subconsciously. When she reacted, she immediately shook her head. “No, no.”

Li Xiwu sat down again and looked up. She asked calmly, “Tell me what happened and how you quarreled with the other party. In the end, you fought. Don’t hem and haw. There are no outsiders here. Tell me clearly.”

Xue Jinzhu asked first, “Miss Li, have your anger passed?”
