Shanghai
Mu Yuehan called Li Tao in his office and gave him the file, given by Mister Han. "Ask the legal department to process this contract as soon as possible."
Li Tao took the file and left the office.
At sharp five in the evening, Mu Yuehan made a call to his best friend, Zhan Wei, to get an update from him about a business meeting.
For the last four years, or more, Zhan Wei, the best friend of Mu Yuehan was attending many meetings in the place of Mu Yuehan. He was meeting with many important clients, impersonating himself as Mu Yuehan.
"So, how was the meeting?" Mu Yuehan asked. He was twirling around the tabletop.
"Great. Only signing is left, then this deal will be ours." There was pride in this voice.
"Did anyone recognize you? Did anyone recognize that you are not real Mu Yuehan?" Mu Yuehan asked.
"Nah, for the last five years, I have become perfect in impersonating you. Already many people think that I am Mu Yuehan. I am sure, there will be a big controversy once you disclose your identity."
"Mm. Tie up this business deal quickly, I have another work waiting for you."
"Aye, Aye boss."
Mu Yuehan ended the call and thought about how his friend had lessened his workload by impersonating him in most of the business meetings and parties.
It was not like they looked the same or something, it was just that, Mu Yuehan never came out publicly. So, not many people knew how he looked. It was easy for them to believe that Zhan Wei was Mu Yuehan.
And so far, even though, Zhan Wei attended many parties and meetings in his name, still, no one was able to tell he was not the real Mu Yuehan.

In London
With much difficulty, Zhou Liying opened her eyes. She was feeling as if her whole body was falling back into a deep pit. She was also feeling a throbbing headache.
The moment her eyes opened and her vision became clear, she saw the hovering face of Zhou BingBing, much closer to her face. She frowned.
"Oh my god!!! Finally, you opened your eyes." Zhou Bingbing screamed and hugged Zhou Liying tight.
"BingBing, don't scare her like this." Zhou Yonge pushed Zhou Bingbing back. He helped Zhou Liying to a sitting position and gave her a glass of water.
"What happened?" Zhou Liying asked after emptying the glass of water.
"You fainted when we were shopping. I was so scared on seeing you not responding." Zhou Bingbing replied with a guilt-ridden voice. "You were unconscious for the last two days. It is already Monday. I was so scared of seeing you unconscious like this."
"But what happened to me? Why did I faint?" she asked and adjusted herself on the bed.
"Doctor said you fainted because of fatigue and stress." Zhou Yonge lied, hiding the fact that she fainted because she put pressure on her brain to remember her lost memories.
"Mm." Zhou Liying tried to stand up when Zhou Yonge stopped her.
"Where do you think you are going?"
"Office. I have an important meeting. I must attend it."
"You are not going to the office." Zhou Yonge ordered in a strict voice. "At least not for the next few days. You need rest and as your president, I am giving you a holiday."
"But, my work….?" She grumbled.
"Leave that on me. I will handle the company in your absence." He said sternly.
"No, you can't."
Zhou Yonge raised his brow upon hearing her. "Young girl, don't forget I am still president and before you, I was the one handling the company."
"But you are lenient." She complained.
"Don't worry, I will not be lenient. I will keep you updated. Besides, the Zhou group will not become bankrupt because of your absence. So, chill."
Zhou Liying nodded her head. She grumbled under her breath knowing there was no fighting her uncle.
Zhou Yonge knew Zhou Liying would start working if she stayed in London. So, to give her full rest, he sent her and Zhou BingBing to their beach house. He knew Zhou Liying loved the beach. It would be enough to refresh her and divert her mind for the next few days.
He also ensured to confiscate her phone and tablet. She could only contact him via using the phone of Zhou Bingbing.
"Oh my God, I have missed the beach so much." Zhou Bingbing chuckled and rushed toward the sea.
Zhou Liying followed behind her and placed her feet in the seawater, enjoying the texture of sand under her feet as well as the cold water splashing over them.
She inhaled the salty fragrance of the ocean and it instantly calmed her down. She loved the ocean and beaches. It was a remedy for her empty heart. She felt that beaches had a strong connection with her and her forgotten two years.
"Don't stand there like this. Join me in swimming." Zhou Bingbing chided.
Zhou Liying shook her head and joined Zhou BingBing in swimming. Both girls swam around in the ocean and played with one another. Later in the afternoon, they both rested on the beach chairs to get some tan.
"Lili, please come with me to Shanghai." Zhou Bingbing looked at her with sadness in her eyes. "I know your reasons but can't you fight your fears for me?"
Upon not receiving any reply from Zhou Liying, Zhou Bingbing continued, "I am getting married, and soon, my in-laws will start all the wedding preparations. I want you to be a part of them. It will be a big day for me and I will need your advice on everything."
"I may have many new friends in Shanghai but no one can replace you and I need you." Zhou Bingbing sighed and closed her eyes.
Zhou Liying looked at her, feeling sad. She knew how badly Zhou Bingbing wanted her to shift to Shanghai.
Now that Zhou Liying was on the beach, she could decide if she wanted to shift to Shanghai or not with a clear mind.
