CHAPTER 1 - NIGHTMARE

The salty sea breeze blew over, and the soft beach was right in front of him. In the quiet seaside, a few seagulls flew high into the air before quietly landing. They circled a few times in the sky before disappearing from his sight.

The few small wharves next to them were all yachts from different families, but they were neat and showed off their money.

The villa by the sea had an extra cool feeling. However, in this hot summer day, it had become extremely enjoyable.

The neat European villas were all located not far from the sea, but among them, there was only one villa that left an indelible impression.

It was a three-storey house with a huge garden. The top floor of the house had a window that showed flowers of all colors. Above the balcony was an open-air swimming pool. The other stewards were all standing respectfully by the window.

In front of a huge window on the second floor, a pretty girl stood there quietly. Her bare feet touched the soft carpet on the floor, and her warm fingers touched the cold glass, looking at something.

The furnishings in the room were all European style. The luxurious bed was paired with a complicated pattern on the side of the bed curtain, and the bedding was open because the woman had gotten up. The white wardrobe was open, and there was a small changing room inside.

The woman was completely unmoved. She opened the window in front of her and enjoyed the cool breeze that blew against her face. It was even more comfortable than the air-conditioning in the room.

He opened all the curtains and walked to the sofa at the side. He turned off the air conditioner and enjoyed the natural breeze.

The handsome man pushed open the door and walked in. When he saw the woman, who was sitting comfortably on the sofa beside him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up as he softly asked, What is it? You're not going to go down for breakfast?

The handsome man said gently as he sat beside the woman. He took the woman's slender shoulders into his arms, looking like he was spoiling her.

The woman chuckled and leaned her head on the man's broad shoulder. She said in confusion, I always feel like I've forgotten something …

The man with golden hair and blue eyes looked like a foreigner. He gently stroked the Asian woman's long black hair. There was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes as he said softly, You're not in good health and always have to go to the hospital. It's normal for you not to remember something, isn't it?

Lujie, you always stay at home with me. What about the company? The woman shifted her body and turned her face away from Lujie as well. Their gazes met, and a smile appeared on her face.

Since there's a beautiful lady at home, I naturally have to accompany her every day. Lu Jie lightly smiled and kissed the girl's forehead. The girl smiled and pushed away the person in front of her, then stood up bashfully.

Isn't my mouth too sweet? I'll accompany you to the company next time then. I feel a bit bored when I'm at home. The woman slightly bent her body and looked at Lujie, who was standing in front of her, smiling helplessly. She leaned against the window railing at the side, looking at the sea breeze.

Looking at his wife's beautiful profile, the smile on his face widened even more. He got up and walked to Li Meng's side. He pulled the gentle, jade-like woman into his arms and whispered, Alright, since it's your request …

Lu Jie smiled as he rubbed the side of Li Meng's face and intimately said those words. The woman beside him shrank to the side, feeling a little helpless towards his actions.

Cough, cough … A light cough was heard, and Angela leaned to the side, a little embarrassed. She left his control, looking at the five or six year old child standing in front of her, and gave an awkward smile.

That... Luce, what brings you to our room so early?" She took his hand and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.

The boy had a pair of blue eyes and dark brown hair. There was a sense of maturity on his young face.

Mother Su has already finished preparing breakfast. I'll call you guys to come down and eat. Roose said in a soft voice, but his gaze was focused on Lujie, who was beside him. He seemed to be considering the person in front of him.

Okay, then let's go down first. Lujie, do you want to come along? Angela rubbed Roose's cheek. The feeling of softness was something Li Meng liked very much.

Beside them, Lu Jie helplessly looked at the mother and son in front of him. He helplessly shook his head and softly said, You guys can leave first. I'll find someone to book our tickets after I change my clothes later.

Hearing his words, Angela also smiled. She knew that he meant to agree to today's proposal.

Alright, Luce, let's go eat first. Angela smiled and walked to the side. She tied up her long hair and led Roose down the stairs.

With a sigh, he sat down on the sofa beside him, called his secretary on his cell phone, and went to the locker room to change his clothes.

As the president of GampC International, in the financial industry, most of the things he needed to do were directly handed over to his own people. The only thing he needed to do was to find the right data on his computer and deal with some difficult documents, so he spent a long time at home.

Roose was his own child, no more than six years old, but his behavior was similar to that of many adults. Angela had always said that Lujie was well-educated, and the two of them were very fond of each other.

Roose was sitting next to Angela and eating a bowl of lean porridge. Angela was also enjoying her meal. Mother Su, who was wearing an apron beside them, also chuckled as she watched the two of them eat happily.

The food that Mother Su cooks is really delicious. What kind of new tricks will you prepare for us next time? Angela put down the bowl in her hand. The butler next to her handed her a cup of fresh soy milk.

Next time, I'll try the youtiao soy milk and the fresh meat wontons. Mother Su hesitated for a moment before softly speaking.

Great, I'm not used to eating a lot of European food, it's better to eat Chinese food. Angela chuckled.

In the past few years, they had already gone to many places to play, and could even be said to be free and unrestrained every day. Angela herself was originally dressed in clothes, and didn't get along well with Lujie's company, so she rarely went to Lujie's company. She chuckled lightly when she thought about how she wouldn't have to stay at home for a few days.

Mommy, what's wrong? Roose put down his spoon and looked at Angela with his big round eyes.

It's fine. After a few days, we'll go to dad's company, so I'll go to work. You have to be fine at home by yourself. He looked a little mature on the surface, but his mind was still a child's. His mother touched his hair, and his cheeks were slightly red. He was a bit embarrassed, causing the people beside him to laugh out loud.

After the meal, the housekeeper went up to help them prepare their travel luggage. As for Lu Jie, he walked down from above and sat beside Angela, hugging his wife and son in his embrace.

Louie, when did you book your plane ticket? Angela leaned into Louie's arms, manipulating the remote control in her hands. She was watching a variety of programs, but her interest was short-lived.

At 8 PM, I should be able to reach my destination by sleeping. Angel chuckled.

She was never worried that Lujie would look for other women outside, because over the years, Lujie had always taken care of her and had even doted on her. Lujie would never say 'yes' to Lujie. Roose had always been a sensible child, so there was no need for her to worry. Her life was like a fish in water, but her physical condition was not very good. From time to time, she would go to the hospital, which would give Angela a headache.

He looked at Li Meng, who seemed to be very weak, at his side. He let Angela lean on him, letting go of all of his strength and asked gently: What's wrong? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"

Young Roose, who was beside her, jumped off the sofa and lay beside Angela, his eyes filled with worry.

It's nothing, I just have a headache. I just need to rest for a bit. Angela rubbed her forehead. Although it wasn't a severe pain, it was still a headache.

I'll take you up for a rest. We still need to get on the plane tonight. He put his hand under Angela's long legs and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, picking her up. Rojer, who was standing beside her, looked at her blankly, but did not say anything. He climbed back onto the sofa.

Louie laid Angela on the soft bed and took a thin blanket from the side and covered her stomach to keep her from getting cold.

I have nothing to do, you go do your thing first. Angela waved her hand and closed her eyes. By her side, Lujie could only gently touch Li Meng's cheek. The smile on her face also faded.

Angela had a strange dream. In the dream, she saw her own figure and the voice of another woman. Although it wasn't very clear, the woman's ferocious expression seemed to be in front of her as she called out her name. Behind him was a towering cliff.

Li Meng! You will die a horrible death! "

Sweat trickled down his forehead as he suddenly woke up from his dream. Looking at the familiar environment before him, his heart could not calm down no matter what. He breathed in large mouthfuls of air and arranged the hair on his face behind his ears.

You're awake? How do you feel?" Louie pushed open the door and came in, her hands still holding European food. She felt very strange when she saw Angela sitting on the bed.

I had a dream. There was a woman in my dream. She called me by my Chinese name, causing me to die a horrible death! Li Meng was his own Chinese name. Ever since he lost his memory due to an accident, only this name remained in his mind.

Li Meng tightly held onto Lu Jie's clothes. The fear in her eyes made Lu Jie's heart ache. She helped Li Meng smooth her black hair.

It's okay, I'm here. He hoped that the person in front of him would be able to calm down. But at this moment, Li Meng also became excited. She buried her head in his chest and her shoulders started to slightly shake, as if she was extremely afraid.

That woman … Did I do something bad to make me die a horrible death? " Li Meng said softly. The words from her dream still echoed in her mind. It was like a complete warning, making her unable to breathe.

CHAPTER 2 - DEPARTURE

Seeing that the people in front of him were extremely worried, Lu Jie also nodded his head, allowing Li Meng to calm down.

When Li Meng fell off the cliff five years ago, she lost her memory. The only thing she remembered was her name. Afterwards, it seemed that one could sometimes dream of the cliffs at that time and of the figure of another woman. What followed was the feeling of one's body losing weight, as though everything was not as simple as it seemed.

It doesn't matter. With me here, I will never let you experience those things again. He held the person in front of him in his arms and comforted him softly, as if the person in front of him was his everything.

Li Meng took a few deep breaths. She was also very scared. Angela was the name she was using now. When she thought of that name, she was surprised that she didn't have any good impression of it.

After waiting for a while, as if the person in his arms had calmed down, only then did Lu Jie slowly let go of Li Meng. He passed the dishes to her and said softly, Let's change after dinner. We will be leaving in a while.

Lujie took out a clean towel from a nearby drawer and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead for Li Meng.

At this moment, Li Meng also saw the clock on the side. It was already half past five. She took the towel from Lu Jie, threw it to the side and sat on the bed to eat.

He just waited quietly to the side.

After dinner, Li Meng went to take a bath and change her clothes. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Li Meng smiled.

Don't worry, Roose won't worry. Naturally, Lu Jie knew that Li Meng was afraid of Lu Si's worry, so he held Li Meng's hand and led her down the stairs.

Li Meng pulled back the hair by her ear and smiled softly. She walked downstairs and took up Roose's hand, then headed outside.

I'll leave the luggage to you. Li Meng had a sly smile on her face as she jogged with Roose to get into the backseat of the limousine at the entrance. The panicked look on her face was completely gone.

Lujie shook his head helplessly. The butler at his side even respectfully brought over the things he had prepared. The luggage of the three of them were just two small suitcases filled with things he liked. Clothes and the like could even be bought later.

The driver carried the two suitcases to the passenger seat and put them in the trunk for him.

Roose sat beside Li Meng obediently. He didn't talk much. Li Meng and Lujie chatted from time to time. As for Roose, he just rubbed his head against Li Meng's chest. The whole family was on good terms with each other.

Arriving at the crowded airport, Louie asked the driver to stop the car and help them drag their luggage without saying a word. He was in charge of holding Li Meng in his arms and holding onto his youngest son.

Li Meng felt very happy. With a family like this, there was no need to make any promises. In front of outsiders, the two of them were immortal companions.

But she didn't expect that this trip would be exactly the same as the one before.

He could not hold back the worry and apprehension in his heart.

After a night of time, they finally arrived at their destination. Li Meng felt a little dizzy, so Lujie took her in his arms and carried her outside. They were also a very complicated group.

Foreign etiquette was like this. It didn't matter even if you called your mother by name. Li Meng shook her head and said helplessly, I just think that if we fly too much, we get tired of it. Besides, there are still so many people at the airport.

Although Li Meng did not hate crowded places, she could not breathe while staying in this place with so many people.

Roose nodded. He too grabbed the corner of Li Meng's clothes and followed in small steps.

Li Meng looked around and saw a man in his twenties standing there. He was dressed in a suit, with a sharp face, a high nose bridge, and an aura that made people cast sidelong glances at him. However, at this moment, the man was looking at Li Meng, as if he had found something he had lost a long time ago.

Looking at Li Meng's actions, Louie also followed her gaze. It was a handsome man who was about the same level as him. However, the scorching look in his eyes made him feel that Li Meng was an eyesore.

Roose also saw it. Lujie carried Roose in her arms and left quickly with the suitcase in one hand. Li Meng followed closely with the suitcase. The three of them left in a hurry and went to the corner outside. There was no one around.

Only then did Lujie put down Roose, who was in his arms. Seeing Li Meng shrink back to his side once again, the look in Lujie's eyes completely sank.

The man who was in the middle of the crowd earlier had already walked over. He even stretched out his arms to hug Li Meng, but Li Meng only felt fear in her heart. Li Meng was not afraid of strangers, but when she saw people she did not know looking at her like that, she felt suspicious.

Sir, may I ask how long you will keep an eye on my wife? The man was already standing in front of him, and Lu Jie couldn't help but ask.

The man in front of him stiffened. His indifferent gaze landed on Li Meng. Seeing Li Meng cowering behind Lujie, his eyes also widened slightly. He seemed to find Li Meng to be extremely inconceivable.

Sir, what are you trying to do? As he spoke, he fully displayed his demeanor as if he was working outside. He was extremely strict, and his words were sonorous and forceful.

Seeing how angry her father was, Roose, who was standing beside her, also moved closer to Li Meng.

All his actions were seen by the man in front of him. The shock on his face didn't disappear even after a long time.

Finally, the nostalgia in their eyes became cold. Looking at the unsightly expression on Lujie's face, they retracted their hands and softly said, I'm sorry, but I feel that your wife looks like a friend of mine. May I know your wife's name?

With a light cough, the man in front of him seemed to care a lot about Li Meng, and even the look in his eyes changed.

Li Meng indifferently looked at the person in front of her, then looked at Lu Jie. She shook her head and said in a soft voice, I don't know him.

Beside him, Lujie lightly nodded his head. He pulled Li Meng behind him and looked at the person in front of him. His eyes also became extremely unfriendly.

She doesn't know you. Mister, you must have recognized the wrong person. Even Louie herself did not expect such a thing to happen. She was getting anxious.

The man looked at the family quietly. His expression changed again and again. Finally, he let out a sigh and said helplessly, Miss, may I ask what your name is?

The man seemed to have found all of his reason and his voice started to tremble.

Angela, my name is Angela. Seeing that the man in front of her had completely lost his composure, Li Meng finally said her name. As for the name Li Meng, she had completely taken it to heart.

Looking at Li Meng in confusion, Lu Jie felt even more unhappy. Without saying anything more, he left with Li Meng. Little Lu, who was behind the two of them, raised his head to look at the man before him and hurriedly left as well.

The man just stood there quietly. His gaze was still fixated on Li Meng's leaving figure. For a long time, he didn't say a single word.

Seeing that the CEO was here, a few employees in business attire also rushed over. Looking at his expression, they all felt very confused and asked softly, CEO Zhang, he has already left. Let's go back to the company too.

The staff looked at the time and seemed to remember that a meeting was about to begin.

Hearing the staff member's words, Yuan Che also turned around and once again looked towards Li Meng's direction. However, the family was nowhere to be seen, so he could only leave in embarrassment.

After the three of them left the airport and sat in the car, Lu Jie's expression also darkened.

Alright, don't be angry anymore. Maybe the others are just mistaken. Li Meng looked at the murderous Lu Jie and felt helpless. She went up to comfort him in a soft voice. Resi, who was beside her, shrunk back and stuck to her arm, looking very scared.

Roth rubbed his hair: It's alright. Everyone has their eyes opened to the wrong idea.

Li Meng's words also made Roose let out a sigh of relief. Li Meng pulled Roose into her arms, while Lu Jie, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, didn't look too good.

Even if he admitted his wrongs, he shouldn't stare at others like that. Where is his etiquette? As he spoke coldly, he waved to the driver beside him.

Only then did the driver start to drive, trembling with fear.

Li Meng sat in the back and leaned forward. She reached out her hand to caress Lu Jie's face and gently said, Alright, don't let your thoughts run wild. I'm hungry. Where are you bringing me to eat?

I remember that there's a pretty good restaurant nearby, said Lujie slowly as his hand was wrapped around Li Meng's face.

Then go there. Luce is hungry too, isn't he? Li Meng chuckled as she glanced at Roose, who was sitting beside her.

Roth nodded and smiled.

Lujie looked at the two people behind him in the mirror in front of him. Seeing that Li Meng was still the same as before, his smile was so pretty, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

No one could touch her. He clenched his fists tightly.

Alright, don't be angry. Just treat it as a misunderstanding. After looking at it for a long time, Lu Jie's gaze became increasingly cold. Li Meng could only laugh helplessly.

Hearing that Li Meng was trying to comfort him like this, Lu Jie was also slightly taken aback. Looking at the person behind him, he was still as considerate as before and his heart also slightly calmed down.

Alright, I won't mind because of you. Now let me think, what kind of position would you like to sit at my company? He leaned over and scratched the bridge of Li Meng's nose, chuckling.

Oh, I'm not too clear on that. It's good that you've decided, I'll listen to your orders. But then again, I don't have much. I don't want to be placed in a high position. Li Meng thought about it for a moment. She only knew a little about clothing design, while the rest of reading and cooking were just hobbies. She could not figure out what she could do in the finance company.

Of course, I won't let you get tired. Come here and play for a few days, then go to the company after a few days. Because of his position, he could not hug Li Meng, which was quite a pity.

I'll listen to you. Li Meng nodded, extremely satisfied with Lu Jie's arrangement.

Seeing Li Meng like this, Jie calmed down a lot.

CHAPTER 3 - C3

Yuan Che sat in the car, his thoughts drifting far away. The employees at the side all looked at Yuan Che with a strange expression.

Director Yuan, the thing I told you just now, it seems to be the CEO of the GampC Corporation, Lujie, right? A bespectacled staff member beside him said.

Yuan Che's eyes lit up as he looked at the worker in front of him and said softly, He's the CEO of the GampC?

The employees opposite of him rarely saw such an expression from the CEO. All of them raised their eyebrows and looked at the Yuan Che in front of them, slightly lost in thought. The employee also nodded his head.

Along the way back to the company, Yuan Che did not say a single word. The employees beside him were all confused and could only watch as Yuan Che returned to his office on the top floor by himself.

Yuan Che's office was very clean and concise, even the decorations were mostly white. It didn't seem like a depressing environment, instead it seemed like it was an employee lounge.

All of this was because of a single sentence from a woman.

Yuan Che sat on the sofa at the side with a dejected look on his face. He didn't even bother with the pile of documents on the table. He just sat there quietly, as if he was thinking about past events.

The employees outside were all discussing what had happened today. Although Yuan Che was very strict with his employees and was very calm with his personality, with today's matter, everyone was guessing whether something had happened and the employees beside him were also discussing.

A sexy figure of a woman walked in through the door. She was dressed in fashionable attire, and the people at the counter didn't ask for her ID card, allowing her to enter.

He saw that the woman's lightly painted face was actually 70% similar to Li Meng's.

Many of the boys on the side glanced at the girl in front of them. This was because the person in front of them was the chief ghost model of the Li Corporation; he had a sexy figure and a captivating gaze, causing many to secretly have a crush on him. However, due to the face of the CEO and his cousin, they didn't even have the courage to chase after him.

Li Meng also completely ignored the gazes of the crowd, because she and Yuan Che's cousin were husband and wife, the Yuan Corporation and the Li Corporation were completely on the same side. On the surface, it seemed like there were two companies, but in the back, they both let out a breath, so the people here naturally didn't care.

Li Meng had just arrived at the personnel department and was about to find someone to ask where the new jewelry designer was, when she heard the surrounding people talking about Yuan Che's matter and became a bit concerned.

Hey, what are you talking about? Li Meng casually found a seat and sat down. The people beside her all shut their mouths when they saw that a heavyweight had arrived. They all didn't dare to say anything.

Why didn't you say anything? I'm still waiting for the gossip. Li Meng pursed her lips. She felt a bit helpless. She threw her bag to the side, as if she wouldn't leave even if they didn't say anything.

The employee knew Li Meng's temper very well, so he was a bit helpless. He could only step forward and softly say, We already told you, don't tell Boss Yuan about it.

Li Meng nodded and moved her ear closer to Li Meng. She told Li Meng everything and Li Meng was also surprised. She thought it was because Yuan Che had taken a fancy to another woman, but in her heart she felt reassured.

Because Li Meng was standing behind Lu Jie at that time, no one noticed that Li Meng and Li Meng looked very similar.

Li Meng quickly walked over to Yuan Che's office with her high heels. When she saw the dispirited Yuan Che sitting in his seat, she was also a little surprised.

What's wrong with you? According to the people below, you found a married woman at the airport who was ready to talk to you. Li Meng teased him as she walked straight to the water dispenser and poured herself a glass of water.

Hearing Li Meng's words, Yuan Che slightly raised his head and coldly said: No …. I saw her, but she didn't know me at all.

Hearing Yuan Che's words, Li Meng couldn't even hold the cup in her hands anymore. She looked at the person in front of her with shock and said emotionally, "This … How is this possible? At that time, it was clearly …

Li Meng naturally knew who the 'she' Yuan Che was referring to was. The one she was referring to was her sister, Li Meng.

But I saw her. She was with another man, and next to her was a child. Yuan Che covered his head, as if unwilling to recall the events from before. Even Li Meng stood rooted to the spot, unable to move.

Everything seemed to be still vivid in her mind. Recalling the past, it seemed to be just a dream.

At that time, Li's business was still not big yet, and everyone had to struggle hard. Five years ago, after going through countless hardships, Yuan Che finally walked together with Li Meng. The speed of happiness was so fast that Li Meng was envious of her sister's good marriage, but what followed was despair.

Those who liked Yuan Che would bet all their resentment on Li Meng and even push her off the cliff. No matter how many people Yuan Che sent to search, they couldn't find Li Meng's corpse.

In five years time, he could change a lot, but he could completely eliminate the change in Yuan Che's love for Li Meng. In five years of time, Li Meng could marry his cousin and have today's achievements. Yuan Che's business had also grown step by step, but in these five
