章 22: You Can Trust Me

The car entered the parking spot. Then, Ye Qing Luo followed her sister into the hotel, and the siblings headed to the coffeehouse together.

The server greeted them at the entrance before leading them further into the coffeehouse upon hearing that they came to look for Zhang Yu Ying.

Ye Qing Xin could recognize Zhang Yu Ying from a distance away. However, she was quick to notice that Zhang Yu Ying was not alone.

As she walked closer, Ye Qing Xin finally recalled seeing the man beside Zhang Yu Ying at her grandfather's birthday banquet.

Her brow rose as Ye Qing Xin was not expecting to see anyone else other than Zhang Yu Ying. However, Ye Qing Xin did not slow down but continued to walk over to Zhang Yu Ying's table.

As if noticing that someone was looking at him, Su Ming Yuan raised his head and his gaze met with Ye Qing Xin. His lips pursed into a thin line as he recalled seeing this woman not too long ago.

What was her name again?

"Xin Xin!" Zhang Yu Ying stood up and waved her hand when she saw her friend. "Over here."

Su Ming Yuan glanced at Ye Qing Xin again.

Then, he remembered that there was something familiar about Ye Qing Xin's name.

Putting on her smile, Ye Qing Xin hastened her steps until she reached the table. "Ying Ying." She turned to Su Ming Yuan and greeted him politely. "Hello."

"Xiao Luo, you are here as well," Zhang Yu Ying spoke as she turned to Ye Qing Luo.

Ye Qing Xin then shifted her gaze to Su Ming Yuan. Her gaze was probing. She was still curious to know why was this person at the coffeehouse as well.

If he was going to stay, it would be difficult for her to discuss some matters with Zhang Yu Ying.

Ye Qing Xin seemed to remember that her little sister had said that this man was quite close to the Zhang family.

"Brother Ming Yuan, my friend is already here," Zhang Yu Ying nudged Su Ming Yuan's shoulder. "You should go now. Didn't you say that you are looking for my brother?"

Ye Qing Xin was finally at ease, knowing that Su Ming Yuan was not supposed to join them in this meeting. Ye Qing Xin looked at Su Ming Yuan up and down and thought that at least, this time, he was not dressed up tackily.

Su Ming Yuan clicked his tongue as he stood up. "So heartless. You are chasing me away once your friends are here."

Zhang Yu Ying rolled her eyes as she was too lazy to talk to Su Ming Yuan. She already chased this person away a while ago, but he continued to pester her and said that he was going to wait until her friend arrived.

Su Ming Yuan tugged at his sleeve. Then, he looked at Ye Qing Xin and flashed her a smile before he finally leave.

Zhang Yu Ying heaved a breath of relief once Su Ming Yuan had gone farther away. She turned to her friend again and motioned for them to sit down.

Then, Zhang Yu Ying called the server to let the Ye siblings order some drinks and snacks.

While waiting for their drinks, Ye Qing Xin and Zhang Yu Ying had a casual chat over this and that. As they were talking, Zhang Yu Ying could not help but notice that there was something different about her friend.

The server returned to the table and served their drinks and a few cakes.

Zhang Yu Ying throw her long hair behind her shoulder and looked at the person in front of her in puzzlement. "Xin Xin, you... why did you call for this meeting? Is this about the company?"

Zhang Yu Ying invested a sum of money into Ye Qing Xin's company and thought that her friend wanted to talk about this matter.

"It's not because of that." Ye Qing Xin reached for the cup of Earl Grey Tea in front of her and took a sip. Her expression gradually relaxed as the taste coated her mouth.

Ye Qing Xin put down her cup slowly as she continued to observe the woman in front of her. Then, Ye Qing Xin leaned over and spoke, "Miss Zhang, can I trust you?"

Zhang Yu Ying had a slight frown on her face when she heard this question. Moreover, the way Ye Qing Xin was addressing her was also quite strange.

Usually, Ye Qing Xin would call her Ying Ying.

Subconsciously, Zhang Yu Ying shifted her gaze to Ye Qing Luo, silently asking what was going on.

Ye Qing Luo did not answer, But Zhang Yu Ying did not miss the anxious look on the younger woman's expression as she looked at her sister.

But she really could not figure out what was going on.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yu Ying finally gave her answer, "Of course, you can trust me."

The corner of Ye Qing Xin's lips tilted up. "Then, I'm glad." She inhaled a deep breath and continued, "I'm sure that my sister had already told you that I'm going to need your help with something."

Zhang Yu Ying glanced at Ye Qing Luo and nodded. "Your sister had mentioned it."

"Before I can talk about it, there is something else that I need to tell you," Ye Qing Xin said. "Of course, I hope that you can keep this secret for me."

Meanwhile, Ye Qing Luo was getting anxious. However, this was something that her sister wanted to do and there was nothing she could do to stop her.

"Miss Zhang, you should know that I was in a car accident not too long ago."

Zhang Yu Ying nodded as she waited for Ye Qing Xin to continue.

"To tell you the truth, after the accident, I don't remember anything," Ye Qing Xin said. "I don't remember who you are or our relationship. I don't remember my family or anything about them. The doctor said that I might hit my head from the accident and lose my memory."

Zhang Yu Ying stared at Ye Qing Xin with her eyes wide. It seemed that she was having trouble believing her words.
