"I won’t hide it from you, Miss Qiao, I had amnesia before and forgot many people," Gu Zhiqi looked at Qiao Nan with a hint of distress, "I happened to hear Assistant Li mention that on the day you signed with Mengyang Entertainment, it was I who brought you to the company, so I wanted to ask."
Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi’s words, Qiao Nan’s eyes quickly flickered, and when she looked up again, a shallow smile was back on her lips, "Since Miss Gu has mentioned it, I won’t hide it from Miss Gu either. Three months ago, I suffered a head injury and forgot a lot, the doctor said it was selective amnesia, perhaps... I forgot Miss Gu, I’m truly sorry."
Gu Zhiqi raised her eyebrows at this.
Qiao Nan smiled gently, looking back at Gu Zhiqi with warm eyes, "No wonder the last time I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity, it turns out we knew each other before."
Gu Zhiqi slightly arched her brow and then blurted out, "Yes, no wonder, when I saw you, I also felt you looked familiar."
Seeing Gu Zhiqi , without any apparent reason, Qiao Nan felt an odd sensation but couldn’t pinpoint what was odd, so she just smiled at Gu Zhiqi and then picked up the teacup on the table, gently sipping from it.
Gu Zhiqi reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper, while also bringing up a photo on her phone.
Then, she placed both the phone and the paper on the table.
Once Qiao Nan saw the contents on the paper and the phone, her hand loosened, and the cup she was holding dropped to the floor.
The cup shattered on the floor, spilling water all over.
Gu Mengyang, who had just entered, paused slightly at the sight.
Looking at Qiao Nan scrambling to pick up the pieces, and with Gu Zhiqi eyeing the phone and the paper on the table, she said pointedly, "I didn’t expect that, Miss Qiao, having amnesia, you would even change your signature style."
"I didn’t like the previous style, so... I changed it," Qiao Nan replied, scrambling to clean up the shards while responding to Gu Zhiqi’s comment.
In a panic, her fingers got cut by a sharp fragment.
Qiao Nan inhaled sharply and was about to reach for a tissue on the coffee table when she caught sight of a figure out of the corner of her eye.
Qiao Nan’s heart skipped a beat and, no longer caring for the cleanup, she stood up abruptly, "President Gu."
Gu Mengyang said nothing, his gaze lightly falling on the broken pieces of the teacup on the floor.
Seeing this, Qiao Nan immediately began to explain, "President Gu, I’m sorry, I accidentally broke your cup, I really—"
"It’s fine, just pay for it, that cup was worth twenty thousand," Gu Mengyang interrupted her before she could finish.
Hearing Gu Mengyang’s words, Qiao Nan was stunned.
She glanced at the cup on the floor, then at Gu Zhiqi and Gu Mengyang.
For a moment, she felt that the two siblings were plotting to con her out of her money.
The thought was fleeting as she had no time to dwell on these things and simply agreed, "Of course, I will pay."
Gu Mengyang walked over to where Gu Zhiqi was sitting and took a seat beside her.
No sooner had he sat down than Qiao Nan addressed him, "President Gu, I—"
"My sister here was the one looking for you today," Gu Mengyang cut her off, then turned his head to glance at Gu Zhiqi, "Continue, just act as if I’m not here."
Qiao Nan was taken aback at hearing this.
How can one simply ignore someone’s presence?
Qiao Nan couldn’t pretend Gu Mengyang wasn’t there, but Gu Zhiqi could.
"Are you familiar with Meng Xiao, Miss Qiao? Or are you perhaps her fan?"
"Not familiar," Qiao Nan quickly denied, "and I’m not her fan either."
