Jiang Yuwei stared at me with her dark eyes for a long while before saying in a deep voice, "Okay!"

A faint smile crept onto my lips as I thought to myself, "Let's see how she gets out of this."

"Don't rush to agree. Listen to my conditions before making a decision."

I paused for a moment and stated my conditions:

"First, you must respect my privacy, whether it's my phone or anything else, and you must not interfere without reason."

Jiang Yuwei nodded slightly, "I can do that."

"Secondly, I want absolute freedom. You have no right to interfere in my affairs, and you are not allowed to restrict my movements."

Jiang Yuwei frowned slightly, her eyes becoming serious. "I can ignore everything else, but you can't see Gu Mengmeng. She's not as simple as you think."

I admit that Gu Mengmeng has changed somewhat, but there are still many things I don't understand, and I don't want to wrong her.

"Jiang Yuwei, don't make things up about Grandpa without evidence."

Moreover, Jiang Yuwei disliked Gu Mengmeng in the first place, and I strongly suspect that this matter was just Jiang Yuwei's malicious speculation!

"Nonsense?" Jiang Yuwei's gaze suddenly narrowed. "She's capable of making you lose your memory, let alone a grandfather who has nothing to do with her!"

My breath hitched. "What did you say? Gu Mengmeng caused me to lose my memory?" This is utterly absurd.

Gu Mengmeng and I grew up together, and I know her personality best!

"Believe it or not, that's the truth." Jiang Yuwei's tone was firm, as if she had everything under control.

I grabbed the pillow beside me and threw it at her hard. "Jiang Yuwei, you're such a scoundrel! You're really insidious. You even made up such a lie just to make me hate Gu Mengmeng!"

She caught the pillow steadily, a flash of pain in her eyes. "Ye Qiu, do you think you understand Gu Mengmeng? You've only seen the side of her that she's willing to show you!"

I couldn't be bothered to argue with her. "Jiang Yuwei, if you've got the guts, show me the evidence. You think I'm stupid for just saying whatever comes to mind?"

Jiang Yuwei's face darkened, as if I had completely enraged her.

"Okay, then I'll tell you. I also have a dose of the amnesia drug. Only two people in the country have it, and the other dose is with Gu Mengmeng. She originally planned to use it to erase your memory and then recreate the 'you' she wanted. Unfortunately, you got into a car accident along the way, and her plan failed!"

"Moreover, it was because the medication was used improperly that you regained your memory; otherwise, you would still be living in the lies she has woven."

Jiang Yuwei spoke with such certainty that I couldn't help but have some doubts.

I closed my eyes, trying hard to recall every smile and every gentle gesture of Gu Mengmeng, my heart in turmoil.

Yes, there aren't many people who could get close to me and drug me, so Gu Mengmeng is definitely a prime suspect. But those beautiful memories make it hard for me to accept this cruel reality.

"I...I want to ask her myself," I murmured to myself, my mind made up.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei's face darkened even more. "Ye Qiu, are you crazy? Gu Mengmeng is a wolf in sheep's clothing. She won't tell you the truth!"

"Enough!" I suddenly opened my eyes and glared at her. "Jiang Yuwei, stop talking! I'll judge for myself what kind of person Gu Mengmeng really is!"

Seeing that I was really angry, Jiang Yuwei's throat moved, but she swallowed the rest of her words back.

The room fell silent instantly, the atmosphere tense beyond words.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yuwei took the initiative to compromise and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. But you have to promise me that you must take me with you when you see Gu Mengmeng. That's my bottom line."

I pressed my lips together and did not respond immediately.

The news says that Gu Mengmeng is out of danger and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital. It's unknown when she will wake up. Gu's mother and father must hate me now, so it's not a good time to meet them.

I've decided to wait a while before going over to have a proper talk with her!

Seeing that I didn't object, Jiang Yuwei assumed I agreed, and her expression softened slightly. "Then, what's the third condition?"

I came to my senses and thought for a moment before saying, "Since you've sent all the servants away, you'll be responsible for my food and daily life. You'll have to do whatever I tell you to do."

The last one seems simple, but it's actually the most painful. After all, I won't be soft-hearted. I'll let her experience the pain I felt in my past life when she was constantly bossed around by her parents.

She might ask me to leave in a few days. A pampered young lady like her can't possibly endure this hardship.

Jiang Yuwei raised an eyebrow. "That's easy, I promise you."

I smiled slightly, already having made up my mind. "Let's start with the fish soup tonight, I'm hungry."

Jiang Yuwei frowned slightly. "Fish soup is hard to digest at night, so let's eat something light."

I scoffed, "What? You're already making excuses? Or are you simply incompetent?"

A smile appeared on Jiang Yuwei's face. "Provocation won't work on me. But since you want to eat it, I'll cook it for you."

After saying that, she went downstairs, entered the kitchen, and began preparing the ingredients with practiced ease.

I stood aside, intending to take the opportunity to cause trouble, but I found that she was skilled and there was no chance to intervene.

Jiang Yuwei glanced at me, her eyes gentle, "There's too much smoke in here, go and rest in the living room, I'll take it over when it's ready!"

What does that mean? So she thought I was greedy and that's why she was standing here waiting on purpose!

"Jiang Yuwei, you overestimate yourself. When it comes to cooking, I'm much better than you!"

Although my past life was painful, my cooking skills are real, and everyone who has eaten my food raves about it!

Jiang Yuwei smiled and said, "Then, can you make it for me to try another day?"

"Dream on!" I refused without hesitation. "I don't have a habit of cooking for my ex-wife. Hurry up, I'm hungry..."

I wasn't particularly hungry at first, but as soon as the smell of fish soup came out, my stomach started growling a few times.

I secretly decided that I should eat my fill first, because only when I'm full will I have the energy to continue "dealing with" Jiang Yuwei.
