One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love-Chapter 738 - 736: Newcomer, Your Name is Zhang Jingshu

Chapter 738: Chapter 736: Newcomer, Your Name is Zhang Jingshu

The couple felt this matter could be big or small, but anyone with a normal sense of aesthetics wouldn’t think Old Zhang is handsome.

As for why Ah Lan, a great beauty from miles around, married Old Zhang, there’s actually a thrilling story behind it—

The story isn’t important; what’s important is the ending. Ah Lan was indeed pampered by Old Zhang all her life.

If it hadn’t been for the sudden loss of her daughter, her life could have been considered quite perfect.

Later, Old Zhang said it might be because his brain had been soaked in water, causing a slight deviation in aesthetics. After saying this, he found an excuse to buy some fruit for the child, but in reality, he went out to smoke secretly.

Ah Lan was in the ward accompanying the girl, occasionally sneaking a glance at her. The more she looked, the more she liked her; that small face was extremely delicate, as if drawn bit by bit.

She thought her deceased daughter was already a great beauty, yet compared to her, fell short.

"Mom—" she called Ah Lan.

Ah Lan heard this voice as if injected with excitement, almost jumping off the chair, "What’s the matter? Good daughter."

"Mom, can you tell me about my childhood? I can’t remember."

"Of course, I can. I’ll tell you now." Just as Ah Lan was about to speak, she was interrupted by a piece of news on TV.

Both mother and daughter instinctively looked at the TV, seeing a group of reporters surrounding a man, interviewing him like stars surrounding the moon.

The man looked a bit impatient, and his casual bodyguards kept blocking the reporters.

One reporter asked, "Mr. Jiang, we hear you will get married soon. Is this true?"

Another asked, "Mr. Jiang, please give us a response, Mr. Jiang..."

Reporters surged like waves, finally angering the man. He snatched a microphone from one of the reporters, "Yes, I will be getting married soon, and you’ll learn the bride’s identity then. I ask everyone to pay more attention to Jiang Group and not focus too much on my personal affairs, thank you!"

"Ah! Men like this are too handsome; there’s no sense of security. Good daughter, you must find someone who looks safe in the future—"

The woman stared at the TV screen in a daze and after a long while uttered, "This man looks so ugly, sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked, apparently a bad person. Mom, you’re right, definitely shouldn’t find someone like him, too ugly, can’t take him out."

"..." Ah Lan was completely stunned.

She thought, could this girl really have something wrong with her brain?

Originally wanted to wait for Old Zhang to return and go ask the doctor together, but Ah Lan couldn’t hold back and immediately ran to the doctor’s office after informing the girl.

Then, the response she got was: Ah! For issues of distinguishing beauty and ugliness, our type of hospitals really can’t help. You’d better take her to see a psychologist; it’s likely caused by psychological issues.

...Ah Lan wasn’t very clear, but she roughly understood that the girl wasn’t dumb, just had some deviations in perceiving beauty and ugliness.

In her eyes, ugly men are handsome guys, handsome guys are ugly men.

Ah Lan felt it wasn’t a big deal; a person’s appearance isn’t the main issue, what’s important is inner beauty.

Just like Old Zhang, he looks really unattractive, but he’s incredibly kind-hearted, never seen a man softer-hearted than him—

Back in the ward, Ah Lan, curious, pointed at her face and asked, "Good daughter, do you think Mom looks good?"

"Looks good! But just... a bit old, and the skin seems a bit rough."

Ah Lan thought: This girl speaks honestly. She’s over fifty now, naturally can’t compare to when she was young.

Then, Ah Lan took out a mirror and let the girl look at herself, saying, "Take a look at your own face, is it good-looking?"

The girl took the mirror, looking at her reflection, then raised her hand to touch her face, seeming completely unfamiliar, from brow to eye, then from eye to lip...

She said, "Good-looking, yes, but..."

"But what?" Ah Lan asked.

The girl placed the mirror on the bed, "But I don’t like this face, Mom, I don’t like this face."

"...Why?" Ah Lan didn’t understand, "This face is so good-looking! Those TV actresses can’t compare."

The girl almost about to cry, "I don’t know, but I just don’t like it."

"Alright, alright, don’t like, don’t like." Ah Lan thought it was probably because of water immersion, "Then we’ll just look in the mirror less in the future, alright?"

The girl smiled and nodded, "Alright, I’ll look in the mirror less from now on."

Because the girl couldn’t remember anything, about anything or anyone from before, her memory was completely blank.

So the couple had no choice but to temporarily call her Jing Shu, Zhang Jingshu, which was the name of their deceased daughter.

Zhang Jingshu, even though she didn’t remember anything, was very smart, quick to understand, and treated the couple well, calling "Mom and Dad" very sweetly many times a day—

Making the couple extremely pleased, deciding that until she remembers everything, she is their daughter.

Aside from the inability to accurately distinguish male beauty and ugliness, Zhang Jingshu’s other physical indicators were normal, so after staying in the hospital for two days, the doctors discharged her.

Old Zhang and Ah Lan were, of course, happy, this was simply great news for them, even paying medical bills with great joy.

Zhang Jingshu accompanied them back "home," looking at the unfamiliar furnishings. The "home" wasn’t very big, but very cozy.

Seeing her gaze around the house, Ah Lan laughed and said, "Good daughter, let me take you to your room to see, Mom hasn’t touched anything there."

Other than storing away the deceased daughter’s photos, really nothing has been moved.

Zhang Jingshu looked at everything in the room, the pink little bed and the chimes that make sounds when blown by the wind—

Very unfamiliar, extremely unfamiliar.

But she liked it very much.

She thought, this kind of liking must mean... she had lived here before! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Mom—"

"Eh!" Ah Lan responded with excitement every time, "What was I doing before?"

"Oh, you—before you worked as an accountant. After graduating not long, you found a small cashier job at a foreign company; salary was average, but the benefits were good. But because you suddenly got sick, that job was quit. Job will come in time, no rush, slowly find one. Your dad can still support us..."

Zhang Jingshu smiled, "No problem, I’m well now, it’s time to go out to work. Mom, in the future, I’ll support you and Dad together. No, I should be supporting you two elders."

"Hm—"

Ah Lan was directly moved to tears.

The room was filled with many accounting books; Zhang Jingshu grabbed one to pass the time, initially expecting to not understand.

Unexpectedly... it was quite the opposite, the more she read, the more it seemed she had studied it before.

Now Zhang Jingshu was exactly what Mu Qingxin had wished for before throwing herself into the sea—

Loving parents.

A simple life.

A plain existence.
