Chapter 146: Salvaging Memories (Part 1)

Xu Xue felt her heart ache. She loved Zhang Tianyou to the core.

When her father mentioned Chen Wen, she only felt disgusted. There was no love at all. Asking her to marry Chen Wen was simply pushing her into the abyss.

Mr. Xu grabbed Xu Xue’s arm, overcome with excitement. “Xiao Xue, I’m not lying to you. You’re really poisoned. Come, come here.”

Mr. Xu was agitated and pulled Xu Xue to look for Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang was already prepared when Xu Xue returned. She was already outside the door, so when Mr. Xu was about to pull Xu Xue out, she pushed the door open.

When Mr. Xu saw Liu Sanniang, he said anxiously, “Miss Liu, quickly help my daughter. As long as you can help my daughter, I’m willing to do anything.”

When Xu Xue saw Liu Sanniang, she was still in a daze. “Miss Liu, didn’t you leave?”

Xu Xue did not expect Liu Sanniang to still be at her house.

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Xu Xue frowned and said, “Miss Liu, I don’t know what you said to my father, but I can tell you that I love Tianyou very much. I’m not poisoned. My father just doesn’t want to acknowledge Tianyou. Tianyou’s health is not good, so my father despises him.”

“Miss Liu, I still like you very much. I hope you won’t ruin my marriage, okay? You’re also a woman. You’ll get married too. It’s a blissful thing to marry the person you love. So, can you not interfere in my matters?”

After Xu Xue finished speaking to Liu Sanniang, she said to her father, “Father, Miss Liu is still young. How would she know anything? I really love Tianyou. Please help me.”

Mr. Xu shook his head. “No, no, I don’t agree.”

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Miss Xu, do you really love Zhang Tianyou?”

Xu Xue did not hesitate. “Of course. If I don’t marry him, I’d rather die.”

Xu Xue looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “I know that all of you think that Zhang Tianyou is useless. His body is weak, but he will recover. I love him, no matter if he’s good or not. My father said that I should love Chen Wen, but when I think of Chen Wen, I only feel disgusted. How can I not know how I feel?”

Mr. Xu broke down. “That’s because you’re poisoned.”

Xu Xue looked at Liu Sanniang unhappily. “Miss Liu, did you tell my father that I was poisoned?”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes, you’re indeed poisoned. After being poisoned, you’ll fall in love with the person. You’ll be loyal and devoted.”

Xu Xue sneered. “Heh, that’s impossible. Those things are all fake. I’m a human, not a puppet. My heart is beating, and my blood is hot. How can I be a puppet? Why should I be loyal to someone who I don’t love?”

Liu Sanniang looked at Xu Xue. “Miss Xu, if you don’t believe me, why don’t we make a bet?”

Xu Xue frowned. “What do you want?”

Liu Sanniang looked at Xu Xue. “Let me read your mind. I was the one who told your father that you were poisoned. Your father believes me and doesn’t agree to your marriage with Zhang Tianyou. If you still don’t change your mind after tonight, I’ll help you persuade your father to agree to your marriage with Zhang Tianyou. How about that?”

Mr. Xu immediately became nervous. “Miss Liu.”

There was no way he would agree to this marriage. Unless he was also poisoned, he would not agree.

Liu Sanniang smiled at Mr. Xu. When Mr. Xu saw Liu Sanniang’s smile, he felt a warm force comforting him and relaxed.

Liu Sanniang must have her reasons for saying that. He believed her.

Xu Xue thought for a moment and looked at Mr. Liu. He did not agree to her marrying Zhang Tianyou, and it was Liu Sanniang who told Mr. Xu that she was poisoned. If Liu Sanniang helped her persuade her father, her father would definitely give up trying to stop this marriage.

Xu Xue nodded. “Sure, but you can’t go back on your word. You promised me. You have to do it.”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “I assure you. If you’re still determined that you’re really in love with Zhang Tianyou, I’ll help you persuade your father to agree.”

Xu Xue looked at Liu Sanniang. “Okay, what do you want to do? Do you want to prepare anything?”

Liu Sanniang said softly, “You don’t have to prepare anything. Just extend your hand.”

Xu Xue reached out her hand without hesitation. As long as she could marry the person she loved, she would do anything.

Mr. Xu sighed, not knowing what to do. He hoped that Liu Sanniang could wake Xu Xue up and make her understand her true feelings.

Liu Sanniang held Xu Xue’s hand. Xu Xue’s sixth sense was stronger than the average person’s, and her mental defense was also stronger than the average person’s. Holding hands would allow her to better sense Xu Xue’s memories.

The memory where Xu Xue was poisoned was sealed. If Liu Sanniang wanted her to remember it, she couldn’t force her way into her memory. Just like what she had done to Zhao Anhuai previously, she had to fuse instead of attack.

Liu Sanniang’s strength was gentle. Xu Xue felt very warm, making her relax from her vigilance. The warm strength flowed to her limbs. She closed her eyes and opened her heart to Liu Sanniang.

She didn’t feel like she was attacked. She only felt warm and comfortable and she was at her most relaxed.

Liu Sanniang sensed Xu Xue’s memories. She sensed that she was lively, cheerful, and smart. Xu Xue had a plan for her future and a clear goal of how to live.

Mr. Xu did not lie. Chen Wen was her fiancé. The two of them were from ordinary families and had played together since they were young. They were childhood sweethearts and were even engaged.

However, Xu Xue suddenly had a change of heart. Without any warning, she fell in love with Zhang Tianyou. She threatened to end her life to force Zhang Tianyou to break off the engagement. She wanted to marry Zhang Tianyou. When she saw him coughing, her heart felt like it was being squeezed. She was extremely worried.

Xu Xue’s greatest hope was that Zhang Tianyou could live well. Even if he had nothing, she still wanted to spend the rest of her life with Zhang Tianyou. Even if Zhang Tianyou didn’t love her anymore, she wouldn’t change her mind. She would stay by Zhang Tianyou’s side and be his servant. She loved him to the core.

Liu Sanniang did not sense what she wanted, but she was not in a hurry. She took her time, carefully looking for the reason that made Xu Xue change her mind.
