Zheng Yixu remained resolute and negotiated terms with Zhao Louqin, insisting that Zhao Louqin book a hotel instead of coming to the house.
“Who’s going to cook if you come over? Are we supposed to rely on those hourly workers?” Although Zhao Louqin continuously gave Zheng Yixu a look that said, “Of course, darling, you’ll handle everything,” Zheng Yixu firmly rejected him after another round of persuasion.
Ahem, his impressive skill is mainly in cooking instant noodles. Are we supposed to invite Zhao Louqin’s friends over for braised beef, mushroom chicken stew, and gourmet shrimp and fish instant noodles?
Whoever said yes, feel free to step forward—I promise not to beat you to death.
Zheng Yixu felt like he was living someone else’s life, and while it’s his duty to deal with some troublesome relatives, if he alienates all the original owner’s good friends, it could really be disastrous.
Of course, Zheng Yixu has his own plans.After leaving the hospital, he arrived at this villa, which is located in the outskirts and he has had little opportunity to go out alone. During these days, he has been using the internet to research a lot of things and has also caught up on many TV shows and movies starring Zhao Louqin.In Zheng Yixu’s view, the current Zhao Louqin and the infuriatingly beautiful Zhao Louqin from before are definitely two different people.Ahem, getting off-topic.

After leaving the hospital, he arrived at this villa, which is located in the outskirts and he has had little opportunity to go out alone. During these days, he has been using the internet to research a lot of things and has also caught up on many TV shows and movies starring Zhao Louqin.
In Zheng Yixu’s view, the current Zhao Louqin and the infuriatingly beautiful Zhao Louqin from before are definitely two different people.
Ahem, getting off-topic.
Anyway, Zheng Yixu is about to stage a tragic drama of “you know me but I don’t know you” in the hotel.
Tsk tsk, he imagines various preludes and endings, with himself shedding tears of sadness.
On this day, with clear skies and perfect weather for an outing, Zheng Yixu expressionless, sat in the supposedly cool and incredibly cool car called “Starstone,” trying to avoid drawing too much attention.
To his delight, the current Zhao Louqin was able to sit in the passenger seat. No longer did he have to struggle to squeeze into the back seat each time, propping up his fat belly to awkwardly stare at the roof.Zhao Jiusi sat neatly beside Zheng Yixu, holding his phone and telling various jokes and anecdotes to ease his father’s nerves. He truly was a considerate and understanding young man. Zheng Yixu felt even more fond of Zhao Jiusi, thinking that in the future, he should have a baby as beautiful and sensible as him. With that, he might end up only being able to date foreign girls.

He wondered if it was too late for him to pick up that lousy English he had started learning now that he was back “Dad, among the people we’re meeting today, one is a friend of Dad’s in the entertainment industry, one is a business partner from the mall, and there are also two childhood friends who grew up with Dad. They are all acquaintances,
Dad, so you don’t need to be nervous,” Zhao Jiusi kindly said.
“No, I’m not nervous,” Zheng Yixu insisted, putting on a brave face. Zhao Jiusi quietly lowered his head. “Dad, you’re practically tearing the seat apart. Are you sure you’re not nervous?”
Zhao Jiusi silently lowered his head. “Dad, you’re almost tearing up the seat, and you say you’re not nervous?”
“Little Sunshine, don’t worry. They all know about your amnesia. These guys are just full of mischief and want to see the legendary amnesia for themselves. Heh, it’s common in TV and movies, but it’s rare in real life. So you can totally treat them like air.” Zhao Louqin turned around, his chubby face barely showing some contours, smiling with great pride.
This is probably what they call “better you than me.
”Zheng Yixu nodded understandingly. To be honest, he was being treated like a zoo monkey.
If they knew he was not just someone with amnesia but a reborn person, would they want to dissect him?
Zheng Yixu imagined himself being pushed into a laboratory for experiments and felt that the current situation was still acceptable.
But on the other hand, with so many stories about transmigration and rebirth, it seems that none of them actually involve someone being discovered and dissected. Even when imagining things, there should be some logic. If this kind of thing were mentioned to others, they would only think he was mentally unstable and wouldn’t believe in transmigration or rebirth.
Zheng Yixu discarded the idea of being pushed into a laboratory and turned his attention to the scenery along the way.
He had previously learned that the development of this world wasn’t much different from that of his own country, with many overlapping aspects. However, it was still not as clear as seeing it with his own eyes.
Skyscrapers, dazzling lights, urban men and women, the constant flow of vehicles, rows of shops, and the occasional quarrels he overheard—almost everything was identical to the world Zheng Yixu remembered from his previous life.
Surprisingly, it didn’t feel unfamiliar at all.
“We booked a private room at the Philip Hotel; it’s very safe. You once said the food there is delicious,” Zhao Louqin slowly explained to Zheng Yixu. “You’ve been cooped up in the villa because we’re afraid you’d get lost since you don’t remember anything. When I get back from my business trip, I’ll cancel a few appointments and take you around, so you won’t feel so confined anymore.” Although Zhao Louqin usually seemed carefree and easygoing, he proved reliable at critical moments, quickly dispelling Zheng Yixu’s long-standing frustration.
“Yeah, I understand,” Zheng Yixu accepted Zhao Louqin’s explanation. He indeed didn’t know much about this world, and his former self was a well-known, wealthy, and handsome man, likely to attract attention as soon as he stepped out.
“When we get there, if you see a good-looking man who immediately tries to hug and shake hands with you, make sure to dodge his attack. He’s a rich second-generation kid who dabbles in the entertainment industry. Although he’s barely considered an A-lister, he’s very flirtatious with both men and women. He’s tried to take you away from me more than once or twice, but he’s never succeeded. Little Sunshine, you were always firm in your stance and didn’t even flinch.” Recalling his past triumphs, Zhao Louqin spoke animatedly. “Just wait and see; one day, he’ll get his comeuppance.”
Oh, with that expression that clearly shows you don’t like him, are you two really friends?
Zheng Yixu silently complained in his heart.
“Ahem, by the way, his name is Gu Yanqiu. He’s great at pretending. Little Sunshine, keep that expression—yes, exactly, that mix of disdain and contempt. That guy is just shameless; the more you ignore him, the more he clings to you.”
…Isn’t this expression meant for you?
Do you really have to talk about your friend like that?
Zheng Yixu felt like he was falling behind the times. Zhao Louqin had rambled on so much, but it could be summed up in a few words: a shameless, flirtatious scoundrel. The sense of déjà vu was overwhelming.
“Uncle Gu met you at the same time as Dad. He always says he regrets not making the first move back then,” Zhao Jiusi added quietly.
Alright, now he understood Zhao Louqin’s behavior.
“Isn’t it just jealousy after all?
Sigh, am I really about to get caught up in this clichéd scenario of you loving me, me not loving you, me loving someone else, and in the end, I lose my memory and can’t figure out who loves who?
Once you accept this setting, still…
Damn it, I can’t accept this setting.
I still plan to woo a foreign girl and have an adorable mixed-race baby!”
Zheng Yixu picked up his scarce stance again.
“And there’s another one with glasses who looks refined—he’s your friend. Because you had a keen eye for real estate investments in the past, that’s how you met Ping Rong. However, you’re in different industries, so there’s no conflict of interest. He’s a pretty good person, you should take a good look at him,” Zhao Louqin said, his tone noticeably less jealous when talking about this person. Ping Rong is indeed a good person, but that devious and sadistic nature of his has never been to Little Sunshine’s liking. Moreover, Ping Rong’s looks rank the lowest among the four. Of course, he’s still quite handsome, but compared to the international superstar Zhao Louqin and Gu Yanqiu, who secured a place in the entertainment industry purely with his looks, he’s still a bit behind.
“There are also twins who are from my family for generations, and I grew up with them. The older brother is named Zhang Jianli, and the younger brother is a non-mainstream Kill Mat, with a ر and? Visits د د of
No matter how he acted, they just thought he was missing, and too much brains, and they still had to prevent the attack of Zhao Louqin, the superpower,
