Chapter 2282 Fang Mujing and Fei Ni's Persistence

In response to the gratitude, Zhou Chen said with a serious expression, "You're too kind. Doing good deeds is what we should do."

Upon hearing this, the factory director was immediately filled with respect: "Comrade, your awareness truly impresses me. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Sun, you can just call me Lao Sun. May I ask your surname, comrade?"

"My surname is Fang, and my name is Fang Muyang."

Zhou Chen gave his name. Although he hadn't transmigrated in a long time, he certainly wouldn't make a mistake when it came to his name.

"Comrade Sun, although I have repaired your car, some parts inside are old. There may not be any major problems in the short term, but if you use it for a long time, a similar accident may occur again. So for safety reasons, it is best to have someone carefully inspect and replace them recently."

Factory Director Sun said gratefully, "Thank you for reminding me, comrade. This is for the car repair fee."

He pulled out a few ten-yuan bills from his pocket and tried to stuff them into Zhou Chen's hand, but Zhou Chen didn't take them.

"Comrade, please take the money back. I'm just someone passing by helping out; I don't want the money."

As he spoke, he didn't give Director Sun a chance to continue.

"Excuse me, comrade, I have urgent business to attend to and must go now. Goodbye."

Factory Director Sun tried to pull Zhou Chen away, but Zhou Chen ran forward a few steps quickly. He chased after him, shouting "Comrade!" but Zhou Chen kept walking and had already walked more than ten meters away in the blink of an eye. He couldn't catch up at all.

Holding the money in his hand, he looked at Zhou Chen, who was walking further and further away, with a very complicated expression.

"This young comrade is really kind-hearted."

He had a lot of ten-yuan bills in his hand, which was equivalent to one or two months' wages for many workers, but Zhou Chen pushed them back without even looking at them. Moreover, judging from Zhou Chen's expression, he really wasn't tempted at all, and he wasn't just pretending.

When Zhou Chen returned to the hospital, he washed his hands first before heading to his ward.

"Fang Muyang, where have you been? Fei Ni has been looking for you for ages. She's in your hospital room. You should go there right away."

Before even reaching the ward, Nurse Zhou saw Zhou Chen and immediately began to complain.

Nurse Xiao Zhou is the nurse who has been taking care of Zhou Chen. Fei Ni often comes over, so she has a good relationship with Nurse Xiao Zhou. Nurse Xiao Zhou also feels sorry for Fei Ni taking care of Zhou Chen.

"Oh, I understand. I'll go back now."

"Hey……"

Nurse Zhou wanted to say something more, but Zhou Chen had already walked away quickly. She shook her head and could only continue with her work.

As soon as Zhou Chen returned to the ward, he saw Fei Ni pacing anxiously around the room, and a strange woman sitting there motionless.

As soon as Fei Ni saw Zhou Chen come in, she excitedly walked over and looked him up and down. Seeing that Zhou Chen was alright, she felt relieved, but then she became angry.

She went to Jiangcheng University today specifically to find Ling Yi, hoping that Ling Yi could help Zhou Chen recover his memory.

When she arrived, she found that Zhou Chen was not there. She asked the nurse, but the nurse didn't know either. She had already searched the entire hospital but couldn't find Zhou Chen, and she was furious.

Seeing that Zhou Chen was alright, she couldn't hold back her anger any longer.

"Fang Muyang, where did you run off to? Who told you to wander around like that? What if you get lost? How have I always told you not to run around? Why don't you listen to me...?"

Zhou Chen listened quietly to Fei Ni's outburst. Although Fei Ni was very anxious and her tone was harsh, he knew that Fei Ni was genuinely worried about him, which was why she was so agitated.

"I didn't wander off. I was just bored and restless being here all by myself, so I went out for a walk. I didn't go far."

"It's not okay if you don't go far."

Fei Ni glared fiercely at Zhou Chen, but her appearance didn't instill any fear in him whatsoever.

“Fang Muyang, let me tell you, you’ve lost your memory and don’t understand anything. You can only stay in the hospital and can’t run around. If you want to go out, I can take you for a walk after I come, but you can’t go by yourself. Do you understand?”

Zhou Chen nodded, and Fei Ni was satisfied. She was about to give another word of advice when her gaze suddenly fell on Ling Yi in the ward. She then remembered the purpose of her visit today and forgot about being angry.

She pointed to Ling Yi, who had already stood up, and said, "Ling Yi, someone has come to see you. Take a good look at her and see if you can remember anything."

Zhou Chen then turned to look at Ling Yi. In fact, he had already guessed it. There weren't many women who came to see Fang Muyang. Besides his older sister Fang Mujing, there was his 'nominal' girlfriend Ling Yi. But this woman was obviously not Fang Mujing, so it was most likely Ling Yi.

So when he heard Fei Ni's introduction, he wasn't surprised at all; he just looked indifferent and unfamiliar, and shook his head.

"Fang Muyang, do you really not remember me? I am Ling Yi, I am you..."

Seeing the unfamiliar look in Zhou Chen's eyes, Ling Yi was also somewhat excited. Although she and Zhou Chen were not actually boyfriend and girlfriend, they were nominally. In this day and age, sometimes a nominal relationship is more convincing than the real one. After all, whether it is true or not, others do not know, but if it is spread, others will believe it to be true.

But Zhou Chen didn't bother to look at her. Ling Yi was a very scheming woman who was determined to climb the social ladder and would stick with whoever was stronger.

Previously, Fang Muyang gave her his spot in university, so she became his nominal girlfriend. Later, when she saw that Fang Muyang had lost his memory, she decisively broke up with him. After that, when she saw that Ye Feng's mother was the director of the office of Jiangmian No. 1 Factory, she immediately took the initiative to pursue Ye Feng and was very proactive. In the end, she got married to Ye Feng as she wished.

If that were all, it would be fine; after all, it's a matter of choice. Even if her behavior was wrong, others have no right to question her choice.

The problem was that after she married Ye Feng, things were fine at first, but later her mother-in-law, Xu Hongqi, lost her position as the director of the factory office and became a textile worker, which made her uneasy again.

It's fine for her to urge her man to be more ambitious, but for a better life, she begged her senior brother, even though she knew he had ulterior motives and was taking advantage of her. She reluctantly complied. After Ye Feng stopped being ambitious, she immediately divorced him and wanted to rely on her senior brother.

Of course, Ling Yi's final outcome was not good. Due to her lifestyle, she was expelled from Jiangcheng University, losing her status as a college student. Furthermore, because of her lifestyle issues, she suffered countless scornful looks and contempt, and in the end, she could only leave alone in a sorry state.

Although Ling Yi's storyline ended there, any normal person would know that in that era, you needed a letter of introduction to go out, and her lifestyle issues would definitely be written in her file, which would follow her for life, thus foreshadowing a very bad future for her.

Although such a woman was far from being as glamorous as the fairy-like figures on Xiaohongshu (a Chinese short video platform) in later generations, she was still quite a sensation in this era.

Zhou Chen did not despise Ling Yi's actions, but he himself could not stand her. Even if Ling Yi were to be his girlfriend in name only, he would not be willing.

"I don't know you."

After saying that, he looked at Fei Ni and said very seriously, "Fei Ni, I don't know her."

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, Fei Ni and Ling Yi could not hide their disappointment, especially Fei Ni, whose initial anticipation vanished instantly.

Just then, a woman wearing a blue and white checkered shirt walked in.

"Fang Muyang!"

The sudden sound drew the attention of the three people in the ward.

Fei Ni looked puzzled. She didn't know this woman, and neither did Zhou Chen. But after just one glance, he guessed that the woman must be his current sister, Fang Mujing, a ruthless person who could heartlessly sever ties with her parents.

Ling Yi exclaimed with delight, "Sister Jing, you're here too?"

Fang Mujing's gaze lingered on Zhou Chen for a long time before turning to Fei Ni beside her. As for Ling Yi, she didn't even give her a second glance.

Fang Mujing walked straight up to Fei Ni.

"You must be Fini?"

Fei Ni nodded somewhat blankly. She didn't know this woman at all. The woman wasn't tall, but her aura made her a little nervous.

Fang Mujing looked directly at Fei Ni: "Hello, I am Fang Mujing, Fang Muyang's older sister."

Fei Ni was somewhat surprised to hear this, after all, Fang Muyang had been in the hospital for so long, and this was the first time she had seen Fang Mujing.

Considering that Zhou Chen was in the ward, Fang Mujing led Fei Ni and Ling Yi out of the ward to talk outside.

Zhou Chen stood at the window of the ward, looking down at the three people talking. He knew that Fang Mujing had come to take him out of the hospital and send him to a sanatorium in the countryside for treatment.

If he truly suffers from amnesia and loses his ability to live independently, this method is indeed the wisest and most rational.

But for Zhou Chen, this was certainly unacceptable. He didn't care how deep the sibling relationship between the original owner and Fang Mujing was; he only knew that he had no feelings for Fang Mujing.

Just like Fei Ni's surprise, he was also surprised that Fang Mujing had only arrived now. After all, the news that the original owner was injured and hospitalized had already been conveyed to Fang Mujing by the educated youth office. It had been more than a month since she fell into a coma and woke up.

Even if it's inconvenient to go out now, there's still a way if you really want to come over. It's been so long since you came over, so he doesn't believe we have a deep bond.

Of course, it could also be because Fang Mujing is not good at expressing herself, but what does that have to do with Zhou Chen? He only believes what he sees, and no matter how eloquently others describe it, he doesn't believe them.

Knowing Fang Mujing's purpose in coming here, Zhou Chen wasn't worried because she knew Fei Ni would help her persuade Fang Mujing. At this stage, Fei Ni valued going to university more than anything else, and she would do everything in her power even if there was only a sliver of hope.

Especially for Zhou Chen, the sunk costs have already been paid. During the most difficult time, she took care of Zhou Chen, who was lying in the hospital bed unable to move. Now Zhou Chen has woken up and, under her guidance, has slowly learned life skills.

She always believed that God would help those who persevere, and that as long as she worked hard, she would succeed and be able to help Zhou Chen regain his memories.

Therefore, at this time, she definitely couldn't let Fang Mujing send Zhou Chen to a sanatorium in the countryside.

As long as Zhou Chen is still alive, she still has a sliver of hope to go to university, but if Zhou Chen leaves, she will have no hope at all.

Just as Zhou Chen had thought, when Fei Ni learned of this plan from Fang Mujing, she was completely stunned. However, Fang Mujing had already made a decision and came over only to inform Fei Ni. Even though Fei Ni was unwilling, Fang Mujing's question, "Can you take care of him for a while, or for a lifetime?" made her waver.

That very evening, she went to see her former teacher, Ms. Chen, who had always supported and encouraged her not to give up her dream of going to university, and poured out her troubles.

After talking with Teacher Chen, Fei Ni became even more determined in her thoughts. She believed that everyone should have dreams, and going to university to become a writer was her dream. No matter how bumpy and difficult the road ahead was, she would overcome all obstacles and achieve her goal.

Early in the morning, Zhou Chen sat on his hospital bed, holding a pencil, and drew on paper.

Beside him, Fang Mujing stood there with a serious expression.

"Fang Muyang, stop messing around and come with me."

"I do not go."

Zhou Chen continued painting without looking up, but firmly refused her.

There's no way he'll leave. No one can persuade him today; he's definitely not going to leave.

Fang Mujing said indifferently, "If you don't leave, do you want to live here for the rest of your life? You are a hero who saved people, that's true, but the leaders of Jiangmian No. 1 Factory have already taken good care of you. Do you really plan to rely on them for the rest of your life? You weren't like this before. Come with me to the countryside, I will find someone to take care of you. I am your sister, I will not sit idly by. I will pay for your care from now on, so don't bother the organization anymore."

But Zhou Chen didn't say a word this time. Fang Mujing was so angry that she went over to pull him, but no matter how hard she tried, Zhou Chen was as steady as a mountain, sitting on the hospital bed without moving.

But Fang Mujing was also very stubborn. Since Zhou Chen wouldn't leave, she went over to pack up her things herself, put them all in her bag, and then tried to pull Zhou Chen away, but the result was the same—she couldn't move him.

"Fang Muyang!"

The commotion in the ward attracted the head nurse and Nurse Xiao Zhou, who came in to persuade Zhou Chen and Fang Mujing to leave.

During the days that Zhou Chen stayed here, they took care of him. Although they felt sorry for Zhou Chen's plight, they felt even more sorry for Fei Ni.

They had all witnessed Fei Ni's efforts over the past few days, and as bystanders, they couldn't bear to see such a young girl like Fei Ni wasting all her energy on Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen left, Fei Ni would be free.

No matter how the three of them tried to persuade him, Zhou Chen remained unchanged. The head nurse and Nurse Xiao Zhou didn't know what to say, but Fang Mujing didn't have so many reservations. At first, she could still persuade him kindly, but seeing that Zhou Chen remained unmoved, his attitude gradually worsened, and his voice became louder.

But how could she possibly persuade Zhou Chen?

Just as things were at a stalemate, Fei Ni arrived.
