Chapter 256: Chapter 186: The Most Calm and Collected Amnesiac Sister in History
Sui Yi’s expression paused for quite a while as she stared at Sui Yi. The normally gentle and delicate person also read from Sui Yi’s impassive face something akin to speechlessness, perplexity, and a hint of amusement.
"If this is your strange object, I simply won’t wear it..." She attempted to reclaim a bit of her own authority.
Yet Sui Yi gave her a cool look, "Of course you can, it’s your right,"
"Although they are equivalent to bellybands and underpants,"
Jiang Chenyu: "...."
Not wearing bellybands and underpants? Ha, are you joking? (Miss Sui is actually quite bad).
If it were an ordinary woman, she would have already been shamed and annoyed by now, but Jiang Chenyu, after a moment of embarrassment, regained her composure and calmly said, "In that case, please, Miss Sui, step outside and allow me to dress properly, may I?"
She was currently wearing that ancient-style long skirt, her lower body covered by a blanket, her upper body with a straight back, a little disordered hair also not detracting from her dignified and elegant demeanor.
"Certainly," Sui Yi placed the clothes on the bed, took the cup, and walked out, even closing the door behind her.
As soon as the door closed, Sui Yi outside furrowed her brows. She had already touched the fabric of the clothes, which was an extremely rare top-quality silk, and the sewing was near perfect; such craftsmanship would be nearly impossible in ancient times and too extravagant in modern times. Besides, that material would be exceedingly hard to find.
Naturally, she had Magnetic Sensation, enabling her to be certain that the clothes were indeed an antique, only she didn’t know how old they were exactly because a layer of energy... This kind of energy resembled the kind that is found in the ancient tombs beneath the village, able to block the Magnetic Sensation.
Never mind the clothes; it was the person that was truly strange.
Demeanor, her demeanor was too reminiscent of Primordial Times, that effortlessly graceful and gentle mien, completely different from the modern, fashionable and flamboyant women. And there was her extraordinary ability to adapt and remain composed. What kind of background would it take in ancient times to raise such a woman?
After some thought, Sui Yi concluded there was an eighty percent chance that this person truly came from the distant past and was of a very high birth.
But what puzzled her most was the madness she had shown when coming out of the coffin.
That kind of madness, utterly contrary to her cultivated demeanor, what kind of motive could drive her to leap at her regardless of her image, clamping down on her neck... and sucking her blood, consuming her flesh?
Sui Yi subconsciously touched her shoulder; the wound had healed, but she couldn’t forget Jiang Chenyu’s expression at that time...
After a while, Sui Yi laughed softly, "She really had it rough, to act as if that incident never happened... Does she really think my flesh and blood was bitten for free?"
After a bit, Jiang Chenyu fumbled around, still managed to learn how to press the door button, and walked out.
This house inevitably posed another kind of shock to her, yet she accepted it quickly, as if such a refined and spacious residence was quite ordinary to her.
However, when she saw Sui Yi coming out of the kitchen with dishes and wearing an apron around her waist...
Her steps halted.
Sui Yi put down the frying pan and apron, took a bottle of fresh milk, placed it on the dining table, "You’ve just recovered, it’s better to drink some milk, it’s already warm... I guess you’re not used to bread, so have some porridge."
Sui Yi sat down, taking a sip of milk. As she ate her porridge, she did not notice anyone sitting down until she looked up and saw Jiang Chenyu standing nearby, staring at her with a very strange expression...
Perhaps she had seen something difficult to come to terms with, was it the refrigerator or the induction cooker?
But this outfit suited her quite well.
Sui Yi didn’t speak, just ate her porridge on her own. After a while, she felt Jiang Chenyu sit down. It was clear her reaction time required a buffer...
But what Sui Yi didn’t expect was that the first question from the other party wasn’t about what these things were, but instead...
"You actually know how to cook?"
Sui Yi’s porridge eating paused for a moment, she put down her spoon, "It seems that in your opinion, I naturally shouldn’t know how to cook,"
Jiang Chenyu immediately sensed that Sui Yi was probing something and demurely lowered her gaze, speaking softly, "I just thought someone like you surely has a good background and enough wealth, and therefore wouldn’t need to trouble yourself with kitchen matters."
Then she stopped talking, bowed her head to eat her porridge... took a sip of milk, and after getting used to the taste, finished a cup of milk...
Banquet etiquette: Do not speak while eating, do not talk in the bedroom. This is the rule of a big family.
Sui Yi did not initiate conversation either; both ate quietly... When they finished eating, Jiang Chenyu finally began to ask about things she did not understand or was curious about.
As Sui Yi anticipated, this person was very composed and smart, knowing what to do that was most beneficial for herself.
If she didn’t understand, she had to learn!
Even if the person from whom she had to seek guidance was someone she had once seemed eager to tear into and draw blood from...
And Sui Yi was also strange, teaching as if nothing had happened, not holding back at all...
While the two’s tranquil and graceful voices alternated back and forth, Lin Yun woke up.
She was curious about Jiang Chenyu but didn’t dare to ask too much. Hearing the explanation about her supposed amnesia from Sui Yi also seemed to make perfect sense to her...
But what she thought to herself was another story.
Fortunately, Lin Yun was fully committed to bending over backward for her boss; she willingly assumed the burden of educating Sui Yi...
With some free time, Sui Yi went to the study to contact some people. Elder Tang was not surprised to hear that Sui Yi had acquired some treasures and was overjoyed, repeatedly asking Sui Yi to show them to her. Sui Yi naturally let her arrange for some professionals to appraise the items. However, Elder Tang mentioned that if Sui Yi planned to open a store in the Provincial City, the standard for appraisal would certainly need to be higher. Nanxun was inadequate for such matters...she gave Sui Yi some contacts and advised her to visit the Provincial City. Sui Yi had anticipated this and had already arranged for Elder Tang to come over...
After all, transporting valuable treasures back and forth was troublesome. It was more convenient for them to come to her place, and Elder Tang was also happy to do so...
After finishing her conversation with Elder Tang, Sui Yi contacted Gong Jiu. She did not hide anything about the mountain incident from him. On the phone, Gong Jiu made a fuss, complaining about not being called to join. His interest in jewelry was far less than his interest in the fox and Wei Huan...
Sui Yi as usual turned off her mobile phone and after a while sent some pictures of Wei Huan. In fact, there were also pictures of the fox. Sui Yi had taken one when she later left the cave, driven by an inexplicable feeling in her heart. After sending it, whatever commotion Gong Jiu made was no longer Sui Yi’s concern.
An hour later, Elder Tang arrived with Li Jingyan. Li Jingyan appeared somewhat embarrassed...
Well, it seems a bit inappropriate to bring so many raw chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables, and other food items when coming over to discuss business.
And they’re all raw!
Simazhao’s heart is known to all!
Li Jingyan was too embarrassed to let Sui Yi lift a finger, insisting on cooking as soon as he entered...
Sui Yi and Elder Tang didn’t refuse, and the two went into the main hall. It was only then that Elder Tang saw Jiang Chenyu and was puzzled, but with a few casual words from Sui Yi, he didn’t pursue the matter further since the lady looked quite extraordinary and dignified, not some common folk, so she likely wouldn’t cause any trouble...
After Elder Tang followed Sui Yi into the study, Jiang Chenyu casually glanced at their retreating figures then continued to speak with Lin Yun, her demeanor serene and gentle...
Lin Yun informed Jiang Chenyu of Elder Tang’s identity... While talking, she inadvertently kept glancing at Jiang Chenyu. To be honest, she had tested the woman a few times and could confirm that she had forgotten almost all basic knowledge, and saying she had completely lost her memory wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Whether the name Jiang Chenyu was real or fake, who could know?
In any case, Lin Yun was sure she had met the calmest amnesiac ever, led by the nose from start to finish. Although the lady’s demeanor was serene and gentle, her speech eloquent and polite, making one feel very comfortable, Lin Yun had listed her as a person not to be trifled with... second only to her own little boss.
—These two were indeed somewhat similar, both with a classic charm, both elegant and aloof; it was just that the little boss was more valiant and cold, whereas the latter was more graceful and tender.
In the study, Elder Tang was astounded by the treasures and rated them highly, but since she was not a professional, she didn’t have the authority to appraise them. She then turned to discuss business matters with Sui Yi...
After a long discussion and lunch, Elder Tang learned that Sui Yi was returning to the Provincial City and did not insist on staying; she only asked Li Jingyan to help pack things up and drive Sui Yi and company to the train station...
She herself wouldn’t go, as her old bones couldn’t endure the hassle.
Li Jingyan didn’t refuse, sent Elder Tang back, and then helped Sui Yi prepare to leave...
After packing, Lin Yun felt a bit cramped.
As the owner of the house, the little boss only took a backpack...
The most collected amnesiac Miss Sui carried only a backpack as well, supposedly for her original clothes...
And her, the errand runner... had two huge suitcases!
Fortunately, Li Jingyan was strong and handled luggage and bags with ease!
The three ladies just needed to get in the car...
The car... Lin Yun once again displayed her elite sales industry eloquence, delivering a detailed explanation of everything from manufacturing to historical significance...
At the train station, Li Jingyan looked tense. Without admitting his reluctance, he just watched as Sui Yi and the others entered the passageway...
He let out a deep sigh.
------
The train was the most shocking thing for Jiang Chenyu; even with the prior cushion of car travel, she hadn’t imagined how this wheel-less vehicle, running only on two rails... a train, was it? How could it carry so many people and move...
--The car does have wheels, and Jiang Chenyu seemed to find this fact easier to accept.
Sui Yi and Lin Yun finally saw the calm, amnesiac sister’s momentary break in composure...
This thing, it actually moves!
Lin Yun even wanted to capture the moment with photography, but the little boss was considerate and said, "No need for filming, just take a photo."
Jiang Chenyu: "..."
What is filming, and what is taking a photo?
When Lin Yun showed the photo to Jiang Chenyu... her expression was as blank as wood, as she gazed somberly at Lin Yun...
That gaze, soft enough to drip water, sad enough to weep tears...
Lin Yun: "..."
