Chapter 277: Chapter 202: Her Name_2

The reporter’s words were sharp.

But Gao Chengxiong’s face remained unchanged, he simply smiled faintly and responded, "I’m merely competing fairly with Officer Shang."

Tang Xi and Gao Jianlin both halted their steps simultaneously.

Gao Jianlin, looking at Gao Chengxiong’s face on the big screen, revealed a look of disgust in his eyes, and even stepped in front of Tang Xi, "Let’s go."

And when Tang Xi heard the three words ’Fu Tingzhou’, a chill had already spread down her spine.

Thankfully, thankfully he had lost his memory.

Even if she stood in front of him at this moment, he wouldn’t recognize her.

Arriving at the city hospital, the two changed their clothes to observe and learn from a surgery, and also made study notes and reports. After a brief lunch break at noon, they attended an afternoon meeting to analyze difficult and critical surgeries, with Tang Xi taking continuous notes in her notebook.

This knowledge was all very precious.

It wasn’t until evening that she and Gao Jianlin took the ferry back to the island together.

The distance from Qichuan City to Northern Island wasn’t far, and there were ferries all night until deep into the night.

After saying goodbye to Gao Jianlin, Gao Jianlin seemed to have something to say, but then held back. He watched as Tang Xi’s figure retreated, until Tang Xi hailed a taxi and the vehicle left. Only then did the man retract his gaze.

The air still carried the faint fragrance from Tang Xi’s body, he closed his eyes and greedily inhaled it, wishing so much that this woman belonged to him.

The eyes of the man, originally gentle and refined, gradually revealed a hint of twisted emotion. Soon, Gao Jianlin abruptly gripped the steering wheel, took a deep breath to suppress his emotions.

On Saturday, Gao Chengxiong and Gao Jianlin came together to the Coastal Road of the Southern District of Northern Island, a place closest to the seaside. Previously undeveloped, it was a little fishing village, the least developed but also the most tranquil and suitable place to rest on the entire Northern Island.

Gao Jianlin arrived at an alley, walked in, and came to an iron door painted with flaking red lacquer, then opened the door.

A woman’s husky voice came from inside, "Is Jianlin back?"

Every Saturday, Gao Jianlin would visit his mother, Meng Yuanlan, here.

Occasionally, Gao Chengxiong would also come with him.

But, only occasionally.

Meng Yuanlan was 49 years old, wearing a light blue cotton linen dress, with a few strands of white in her hair. Her figure and temperament were quite good, leaning towards slender, not too tall. She had a bit of the feel of a woman from the southern water towns, but as she approached, two dreadful scars could be seen on half of her face.

Almost spanning from her left forehead, across her eye, to her cheek.

It was heart-wrenching to see.

The woman walked to the door and happily greeted her son. When she saw that Gao Chengxiong had also come, Meng Yuanlan obviously froze for a moment. Then, she instantly appeared somewhat self-conscious and turned her head away, pulling a few strands of hair to cover the left side of her face.

Gao Chengxiong walked in, "I was free today, just came to see you."

The yard was spacious, with a small vegetable garden, and on one side a rope was strung up, drying a few pieces of clothes. It was evident that Meng Yuanlan’s living conditions here were quite decent. Although her abode was not luxurious, it possessed a certain warmth and human touch.

"Come in and sit for a bit, I’m going to prepare lunch. What would you like to eat? There’s a lot of ingredients in the fridge."

Gao Chengxiong said, "Just make whatever is convenient for you."

Meng Yuanlan looked reproachfully at Gao Jianlin. "Your father is visiting, why didn’t you tell me in advance?"

That way she could have dressed up and put on makeup.

Gao Jianlin frowned as he looked at the adoration for Gao Chengxiong that still lingered in Meng Yuanlan’s eyes, "Mom, you don’t need to prepare too much. He probably won’t eat much, in the afternoon, he has plans to go back to meet with Lin Shuyuan at the Lin family’s place."

Meng Yuanlan was taken aback for a moment, then gave a bitter smile, "Yes, the Lin family’s banquet tonight..."

"Jianlin, stop busying yourself in the kitchen, go out and keep your dad company..."

"Mom, he doesn’t need my company. I’m here today to see you. I just want to stay here with you." As Gao Jianlin spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and began to help Meng Yuanlan wash the vegetables.

Meng Yuanlan knew all too well that Gao Jianlin had always fiercely rejected everything about the Gao family, including the role of his father Gao Chengxiong. She also knew that her son had always had a rough time in the Gao family.

But she was powerless.

Only if Gao Jianlin returned to the Gao family could he have a better life. It’s just temporary suffering now. Only by staying within the Gao family could he join the Gao Group and claim his share!

Instead of following his tainted mother and living in poverty for a lifetime!

"Jianlin, I heard that there’s a Su family heiress at the hospital who has always had a fondness for you... You are at the age now, and the Su family also wields some power in Northern Island. You should seriously consider it. After all, marrying the Su family heiress will work to your advantage."

Gao Jianlin refused, "I don’t like her, Mom. I have someone I like."

Meng Yuanlan was pleasantly surprised, "Who is she? Tell me about the girl you like."

She understood her son very well. Deep down, he had always been afflicted by the oppressive life in the Gao family. Knowing that her son had someone he liked, Meng Yuanlan asked incessantly.

A gentle look slowly emerged from Gao Jianlin’s eyes, "She’s a very kind woman, but she doesn’t like me..."

"How could she not like my son when he’s so outstanding?"

Gao Chengxiong entered, "What woman? The one that you say you like, let me hear about it, too."

Gao Jianlin’s expression changed momentarily.

Laughing, Meng Yuanlan said, "Jianlin was just joking with me, kids’ stuff."

"Jianlin, Su Junsheng came to see me at my company a few days ago. He mentioned that his daughter has always been interested in you. While the Su family’s influence doesn’t match ours, a cooperative relationship could be beneficial."

"Dad, I don’t want to think about marriage right now, and as you know... My previous encounters with that Miss Su... didn’t end well..."

"You were both young back then, of school age. It’s different now." Gao Chengxiong patted Gao Jianlin’s shoulder. "Dad has always hoped you would give up the hospital work and come to help me and your elder brother at the Gao Group. Only if you two brothers work together can I be at ease. The collaboration with Fu Tingzhou is imperative, and I plan to have you and Shaoheng get involved in this project. Fu Tingzhou is currently hospitalized, and after he is discharged, come to the company. Let your brother show you the ropes, and get acquainted with this Young Master Fu of North City."
