However, Zhang Mengmeng's simple sentence left Tan Haoyu stunned.
Zhang Mengmeng? Isn't her name Zhu Ziqing? Has she really forgotten her own name?
Tan Haoyu stood in front of Zhang Mengmeng, his heart filled with complex emotions.
He longed to talk to her more, to know what she had been through in the past three years, and whether she was doing well. He even wanted to tell her that they had a lovely daughter—Xiao Qingqing—but looking into her unfamiliar eyes, he knew he couldn't bring himself to speak.
"Zhang Mengmeng..." he murmured the name, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes.
He desperately hoped she would suddenly remember something, even just a name or a detail, rather than the current sense of estrangement and alienation.
"Zhang Mengmeng, what a lovely name." Tan Haoyu smiled slightly, trying to lighten the mood.
Zhang Mengmeng smiled awkwardly: "Actually... I don't really remember this name either. I lost my memories because of an illness, and I even forgot my own name."
She paused, a hint of confusion in her eyes: "But my dad always calls me Qingqing, and I'm used to it."
Tan Haoyu's heart skipped a beat; the name instantly reminded him of Zhu Ziqing.
"Da Qingqing is back." He thought to himself, but remained calm on the surface: "This name is indeed very nice, and it suits you very well."
Zhang Mengmeng lowered her head and said softly, "Thanks to you today, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."
Tan Haoyu smiled slightly, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes: "You're welcome, it's what I should do."
He paused, then remembered the sightseeing tickets: "Oh right, I also want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to buy the tickets."
Zhang Mengmeng paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then we're even."
She looked up, a hint of weariness in her eyes: "I'm a little tired, I want to go home early."
Tan Haoyu's heart tightened, and he asked cautiously, "Do you want me to give you a ride?"
Zhang Mengmeng shook her head: "No need, I'll just take the subway."
As Tan Haoyu watched her departing figure, his heart was filled with restraint and disappointment.
Zhang Mengmeng's figure gradually disappeared into the crowd, but Tan Haoyu remained standing in the same spot, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
He suppressed his impulse and didn't chase after her. He knew that she was only being polite and courteous to him now, without any real joy of reunion.
"Is this how we reunite?" he asked silently in his heart, his heart filled with pain and helplessness.
Tan Haoyu closed his eyes, and the reunion scene he had imagined countless times flashed through his mind: she rushed into his arms, hugged him tightly, and cried, "I missed you"; he held her hand tightly and told her, "I have finally found you."
However, reality was vastly different from her fantasy. She didn't even remember who he was, let alone any talk of him throwing himself into her arms.
"I'm such a fool," he murmured, his heart filled with loneliness and despair.
"Mr. Tan, is there anything you need?" Liu Meili's voice pulled Tan Haoyu back from his thoughts.
He raised his head, a hint of determination in his eyes: "Liu Meili, send a few trustworthy bodyguards to protect Zhang Mengmeng 24 hours a day."
Liu Meili paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Mr. Tan, don't worry."
Tan Haoyu added, "Go to the TV station, try to get her contact information, and learn about her experiences over the past three years as soon as possible."
Liu Meili frowned slightly: "President Tan, are you sure she is...?"
Tan Haoyu interrupted her, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination: "Go ahead and do it. I know what I'm doing."
……
After saying goodbye to Tan Haoyu, Zhang Mengmeng walked into the subway station alone. The carriage was bustling with people; she found an empty seat and sat down, but her eyes seemed somewhat dazed.
The image of the man I met today—Tan Haoyu—kept replaying in my mind.
"He looks familiar, but where have I seen him before?" she murmured to herself, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Just then, a new media advertisement suddenly started playing on the TV screen in the subway car.
In the image, the figure of a young entrepreneur comes into view—Jack Tan, a globally renowned young entrepreneur.
Zhang Mengmeng was stunned. The Jack Tan in the advertisement matched the man she met today perfectly in appearance, but their demeanor was different. The man in the advertisement was confident and domineering, while the man she met today seemed more gentle and confused.
“So he is Jack Tan…” Zhang Mengmeng murmured, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She remembered that when she was in Milan, her father often watched news about Jack Tan, which is how she learned about him.
"I never expected that I would have such an unexpected encounter with this well-known entrepreneur." She smiled slightly, feeling a little emotional.
When the subway arrived at the station, Zhang Mengmeng got up and got off. Standing on the platform, she took a deep breath and composed herself.
"Let's put today's matters aside for now," she said to herself softly, a hint of determination in her eyes.
She decided to keep her experiences at the TV station and her chance encounter with Jack Tan to herself.
"Starting tomorrow, I will dedicate myself to my new work and strive to design better works." She made up her mind, a glint of light in her eyes.
When Zhang Mengmeng got home, she smelled the aroma of food as soon as she opened the door.
"Dad, I'm back," she called softly, her voice tinged with weariness.
Zhu Shigou poked his head out of the kitchen, his eyes filled with concern: "Mengmeng, where have you been? Why are you so late?"
Zhang Mengmeng smiled slightly and walked to her father's side: "Dad, I'm just going out to get familiar with the city. Don't worry, I'm all grown up now, I won't get lost."
Zhu Shigou sighed, a hint of worry in his eyes: "After your serious illness, you tend to forget things easily. Remember to bring your phone when you go out in the future, so that your father won't worry."
Zhang Mengmeng nodded and took the medicine and water glass from her father: "I understand, Dad. I will remember to take my medicine on time from now on and won't worry you."
Zhu Shigou ruffled her hair, his eyes full of affection: "Silly girl, as long as you're alright, Dad is at ease."
Zhang Mengmeng leaned against her father, her heart filled with emotion: "It's so good to have a father who takes such good care of me."
However, she didn't notice that as she took her medicine, Zhu Shigou's face revealed a sinister smirk.
