Clearly, he didn’t think the same in his heart.

But seeing Gu Qixiao protecting Zhang Yaoyue like this, he truly had no recourse.

He could only leave helplessly for now.

On the way downstairs, when he saw Zhang Yaoyue leaning so casually against Ji Yu, he felt a twinge of frustration,menting her failure to seize such a good opportunity.

However, Zhang Yaoyue couldn’t care less about him and simply turned her back on him.

Ji Yu, observing the sibling pair in this state, found it somewhat funny.

"Your brother’s already gone. Are you really nning to keep going on like this?"

"Once I’ve be an old spinster, I suppose they’ll stop pressuring me to get married. They’re notpletely irrational," Zhang Yaoyue said, utterly disillusioned with her family.

Ji Yu saw her like this but refrained from offering any opinion.

In the end, they would reconcile; it was just a matter of when.

"Sister Ji Yu, where do you work? How about I join you? I’m not very familiar with things at Gu Qixiao’spany."

She still wanted to stick with Ji Yu.

"What you studied has little to do with my field. If you came to work with me, it would be a terrible waste of your talents. Besides, I’ll be swamped with surgeries in theing days, and I won’t have time to look after you."

It was only then that she remembered—Ji Yu seemed to be a doctor.

"Sister Ji Yu, can you make someone’s face lookpletely different? Do you think you could make me even prettier?"

"Of course, but I wouldn’t rmend it. No matter who undergoes such surgery, their facial expressions will be affected in the end. Besides, various issues might ariseter," Ji Yu replied pragmatically.

If someone wanted surgery, she could certainly do it—but as for whether it was worth it, that would depend on what that person truly cared about.

Zhang Yaoyue seemed to half-understand, but judging from Ji Yu’s tone, she figured it wasn’t advisable.

"It’s fine if you keep working at Gu Qixiao’spany, or you could find a job you really like instead."

There was no need to be boxed in.

The following days unfolded exactly as Ji Yu expected—neither she nor Gu Qixiao had the time to pay attention to Zhang Yaoyue’s affairs.

Though even when it came to surgeries, Ji Yu was always selective.

"Yu, long time no see."

Ji Yu looked at the person in front of her and felt a vague familiarity, but she couldn’t recall anything—her memories of past events werepletely gone.

Lu Xingchen, unaware of Ji Yu’s situation, was momentarily stunned by her expression.

"Our Sister Yu had an incident recently, so she’s forgotten many things. Mr. Lu, if there’s something you need, just say it directly," someone by Ji Yu’s side exined.

Thankfully, someone was there with Ji Yu at that moment.

Lu Xingchen hadn’t expected Ji Yu to be in this state.

He had deliberately avoided following Ji Yu’s life recently because he knew she had someone she loved, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to meddle.

But now, seeing that Ji Yu had no recollection of him, his heart felt as though it had been pierced by a knife.

If he had approached her sooner, would things have turned out differently?

"Mr. Lu, it’s better if you get straight to the point. Standing here dazing off is just a waste of everyone’s time," Ji Yu said—she wanted this matter resolved as quickly as possible.

Lu Xingchen snapped out of it. "I have a friend who needs your help with a surgery. Don’t worry, everything will follow your protocols. I’m just the go-between."

He was clearlycking confidence.

After all, he knew just how strict Ji Yu was when it came to these matters.

"Since we’ve known each other before, and you’re familiar with how I operate, this will be very straightforward," Ji Yu replied briefly.

She didn’t n to say much more. Besides, she had the distinct sense that Lu Xingchen had a lot on his mind—and situations like that were best kept at arm’s length. Getting entangled in emotional debts would only mean troubleter on.

Perhaps sensing how changed Ji Yu was now, Lu Xingchen understood her unspoken feelings and decided not to bother her further.

Still, Tian hadn’t forgotten the past bond between Ji Yu and Lu Xingchen. "Sister Yu, if you really don’t want to be friends with Mr. Lu anymore, just say it outright. Look at how hurtful this is!"

Tian, knowing their history, felt anxious upon seeing the situation. He simply hoped Ji Yu wouldn’t remain so muddled about it.

Ji Yu felt indeed a bit confused. Mostly, she wasn’t sure what sort of rtionship she and Lu Xingchen had. "Were we really that close?"

"Not exactly very close, but you’ve been through a lot together. And to be fair, Mr. Lu has helped you before. Sister Yu, it’s just because you’ve lost your memory that you don’t remember," Tian exined.

Ji Yu truly couldn’t recall those events from the past.

But since Tian hadid it out like this, Ji Yu appeared much more natural the next time she met Lu Xingchen.

"I honestly have no idea how I know you. But if they’ve said we were good friends before, I’ll take their word for it."

Ji Yu remained calm about the matter.

After all, what Tian had said was helpful.

"It’s fine, Yu. You don’t need to worry about anything. I’ve said it before—I’ll always be like a brother to you," Lu Xingchen said, smiling sincerely at Ji Yu with evident seriousness.

"I feel like you seem so familiar, but that’s okay. Since we’ve met now, I’m sure we’ll get to know each other better again."

Ji Yu found herself feeling reasonably good about the man in front of her.

However, upon examining his friend’s condition, Ji Yu began to feel a headacheing on.

"Was this person addicted to stic surgery before? Their face has already be like this. If they want it restored, it’s unlikely to be perfect. At best, it can be recovered to seventy or eighty percent. Their condition is far too severe."

Ji Yu wasn’t a miracle worker; there were still some things beyond her ability.

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen felt a bit helpless. "We’re aware of how severe his condition is. Please just see what you can do. If it can be resolved, we won’t worry so much."

In the end, Ji Yu designed a n for them.

But it was clear the person in question was still skeptical.

"Are you saying my face can’t be fully restored? If I remember correctly, isn’t your reputation based on ims of guaranteed fixes?" he asked, full of doubt, as though suspecting Ji Yu of doing it on purpose.

Ji Yu raised an eyebrow, showing little interest in arguing. "I’ve never made such a im. You’ve already let things reach this point, so I have nothing more to say, do I?"
