Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 977 Collage of memories

"So you remembered a fight between you and Yuze?" Shui asked.

Alix was currently at Shui's office for her art therapy session, who recalled the black and white glimpses she saw yesterday.

"You said those memories struck you when you watched a couple standing beneath a tree at the park."

She shrugged.

Shui paused to think and quickly walked back to her desk. She took out a drawing book and flipped some pages.

"Did it feel like this?"

Alix leaned and said, "That's the drawing I drew some time before."

"Yes and it's similar to what you are describing. Here too, you drew a tree and two shaded figures under it and it seems like they are fighting."

"That's what the flashes show sometimes."

"I see…Did the memories show what you two were fighting about?"

"I don't really remember the underlying cause of the fight but it seems I had problems with his controlling behavior."

Shui's eyes slightly stretched wide. "Controlling and…Yuze?"

"Yeah it's strange. He doesn't give that vibe to be honest. But then again," Alix smiled. "People live their life wearing a lot of masks."

Shui stared at the drawing and slightly bit her lip.

"You had said before that you broke up with him and not the other way around. So was it related to this you feel?"

Alix had tried to find an answer to that herself since last night but apart from those memories, she couldn't feel anything else.

Shui noticed Alix's bored expression and twitched the corner of her lips.

"Alix, you just had some glimpse into your memory. You should be a little serious about this."

She arched her brow. "Why? Kang Yuze was my past and I don't care how that relationship ended. I am more interested in my present and saving the sinking ship of my company."

Shui's jaw dropped. "How could you…be so relaxed with gaps in your memories? Isn't it frightening to not remember?"

Alix stared at her. "It's more frightening to remember certain memories than forget them. So I am quite in a comfortable space I should say."

She frowned. "I don't think you came here today on your own accord."

"No, I did not," she sneered. "A certain Liu forced me to meet you and share my progress with you."

"..."

Shui could easily guess who that Liu might be.

"Wait, Jin was there with you when this happened?"

"He was dropping me back home."

"Y-you…made him your chauffeur?"

Her eyes twinkled with delight. "Oh my, that is not a bad idea at all."

"Alix…"

She waved her hand. "I was at the Liu villa to meet Mr. Jing. His grandfather forced him to become my chauffeur."

"Ah."

Alix studied her eyes with scrutiny and asked, "Soooo…"

Shui blinked. "So?"

"Are you considering a relationship with Kang Yuze?"

She stayed quiet for a long moment.

"I haven't really thought about it yet."

She glanced up at her. "Are you asking because you would feel uncomfortable?"

Alix threw her a dry look. "Keep your therapist side aside. No need to dig into my emotions about all this. I am asking about you."

"Hey! I am your therapist. That is exactly my job description."

"You and Liu Jin, both are so…" her expression twitched with frustration. "You are always hung up on these sessions and he was so hung up on taking me to the hospital yesterday."

"I don't need to know your thoughts. You are very adept at hiding your feelings."

"You two really are a pain in the ass."

Shui smiled. "I would really like to see your brain who thinks that normal reactions from people are abnormal for you."

"I was fine."

"I don't need to know your thoughts. You are very adept at hiding your feelings."

"You two really are a pain in the ass."

"Thank you."

Alix scoffed and got up. "I am done here. Be sure to message that grumpy cat that I was here because he certainly won't believe me."

"...I don't think I should text him for some time," she lowered her gaze.

Alix pressed her lips.

Damn it.

She got an idea and pulled Shui towards her. She clicked a selfie with her and smiled. "This should do the trick. Hard evidence."

Shui's brow twitched heavily.

"Wait, don't leave yet!"

Alix's gaze darkened. "I am done here."

"Not before I give you your assignment."

"I hate assignments."

Shui ignored her resentment and continued. "It is very good progress that you are beginning to remember things."

"Congratulations to me~" she sardonically laughed.

"To bring more progress, I was thinking of getting you to the next step."

"By any means, is there an escalator to skip to the top?"

"Shut up and keep listening. Your drawings have provided good insight until now and now we can take it a notch further. So how about making a collage?"

"This feels like a school project," Alix remarked.

"A project to connect your memories," Shui corrected her. "You can use anything to make it - cutouts, clippings, mementos. Anything you find that helps you create a timeline and explore the unknown within you. That could help us make the bigger picture and connect the dots."

Alix frowned. "This looks like too much work. Aren't you aware that I am a CEO now? CEOs are supposed to be very busy people."

Shui sneered. "If given a chance to irritate Jin, you would gladly waste your 'precious CEO time' to harass him anytime."

Alix tried to but couldn't retort to that allegation.

"I want to see progress every week," she patted her shoulder. "Off you go."

"Two peas in a pod they are…" Alix muttered to herself. "Who's gonna get the time to make a collage?"

From Shui's office, she hopped her way to Liu Corps and got to work as usual.

Today I will receive a sample batch of the raw materials and then there are some meetings pending…

As she memorized her to-do list for today and passed along Jin's office, she saw a middle-aged man seated opposite him.

From the deathly looks that Jin threw, it was evident that this guest wasn't welcomed.

"Who is that man?" She whispered to herself.

Jin's secretary answered from behind her. "That is Wang Tianhui, one of the regional politicians."

She turned and blinked. "A politician and a businessman...huh. Nice combination."

She sighed. "He is here to convince Sir to host the fashion show for his daughter's modeling debut. He has been denied multiple times so he personally came to meet him. As if that will change anything."

The gears in Alix's mind started to turn. "I think it will this time."

"Huh? Why?"

She looked back at her and smiled. "Because I am about to crash that little party."
