Chapter 390 Your psychological problem is very serious!
Dr. Zhao indeed looked different from the rest.
Her attire gave off a relaxed yet professional vibe.
She spoke gently, always with a smile, making people feel at ease and secure.
Even when shaking hands with Lu Chengwen, she appeared very composed.
"Dr. Zhao, you're really beautiful," Lu Chengwen said with a smile.
Dr. Zhao returned a polite smile. "President Lu, you won't be able to flirt with me."
Lu Chengwen laughed heartily and noticed Xu Xuejiao glaring at him.
Xu Xuejiao went to comfort Little Monkey, while Lu Chengwen leaned in closer to Dr. Zhao. "What if I pay a huge sum? Ten times your consultation fee?"
Dr. Zhao chuckled. "My consultation fee is 300,000 per session."
"That cheap?"
Dr. Zhao slipped her business card into Lu Chengwen's pocket and winked. "Call me."
When Little Monkey came over, Dr. Zhao smiled warmly. "Little girl, you're so pretty. Come here, let me take a look. Auntie has a gift for you."
To be honest, for non-professionals, psychologists always seemed mysterious and highly skilled.
Take Dr. Zhao, for example—she quickly made Little Monkey relax and chat happily with her.
Then, without anyone noticing, she asked a few questions and already had a general understanding.
Little Monkey kept playing.
Dr. Zhao said, "I need to talk to her alone. This child has had a complicated experience. I need to speak with her in a private setting. Once we finish talking, I should have a general grasp of the situation."
"Alright." Lu Chengwen nodded. "How long will it take?"
"If it's short, a dozen minutes. If longer, it depends."
"Okay, we'll wait."
Thirty minutes later.
The door to the consultation room opened, and Dr. Zhao walked out in tears.
"It's always about my brother! Just because I'm a girl, everyone else got new dresses, but I was the only one wearing old ones! I'm a girl too, I want to look pretty too! Wuuu…"
Little Monkey held her hand. "Don't cry, it's all in the past. Aren't you doing well now?"
"But I always end up shopping as revenge! I wish I could take all my wealth back to my childhood and prove to them that whatever a boy can do, a girl can do even better! Wuuu…"
Little Monkey sighed. "You can't go back. You have to look forward. The way you are now, you're scaring all the men away. You're not married, are you…?"
Dr. Zhao wailed even louder. "No! My boyfriend cheated on me! Said I was too strong-willed! Wuuu…"
Lu Chengwen and Xu Xuejiao were dumbfounded.
Both of them were completely frozen.
Damn it, who broke whom here!?
While comforting Dr. Zhao, Little Monkey turned back, glanced at Lu Chengwen and Xu Xuejiao, shook her head, and sighed like a mature little adult.
Lu Chengwen and Xu Xuejiao exchanged a look.
Speechless.
Inside the car.
Xu Xuejiao was still on the phone comforting Dr. Zhao. "It's okay, it's okay. Everyone has moments of breakdown. Yes, yes… Okay, we'll talk next time, don't cry… You're very professional. Believe in yourself."
After hanging up, Xu Xuejiao turned to look at Little Monkey in the back seat. "What exactly did you say to her?"
"Hm?" Little Monkey blinked. "She asked about my childhood, so I told her. My dad didn't want a daughter, always favored my brother. Then she just lost it. After that, she was the one talking the whole time…"
Little Monkey hesitated. "Brother, Sister, did I… cause trouble?"
Xu Xuejiao looked awkward. "No, no… It's not your fault."
…
At another large psychological rehabilitation center.
Same process as before. After about thirty minutes, shouting erupted inside.
A male doctor in his fifties kicked the door open and roared at everyone outside:
"Yes! I killed her! I killed her! Her body is buried under the lower river bridge!"
"I hated her! She ruined me! She betrayed our vows! She betrayed our vows! Betrayers have no good ending!"
"I finally gathered the courage to see a doctor, but she wouldn't wait for me. She already brought another man home. So I had to kill her…"
Everyone at the rehabilitation center was stunned.
Little Monkey nervously clung to the doorframe and shuffled out, looking terrified. "He's lost it!"
Xu Xuejiao immediately pulled Little Monkey close to protect her.
The male doctor collapsed to his knees, sobbing hysterically, his face covered in snot and tears. He raised his hands high and wailed, "I finally said it! I finally had the courage to say it! Waaa—"
Inside the car.
Watching the police take the doctor away in handcuffs, Lu Chengwen was incredibly frustrated.
Xu Xuejiao also fell into deep thought.
…
At a psychological research institute.
As usual, it seemed to take less than thirty minutes. Little Monkey pushed the door open and rushed out.
"Bad news! She's about to commit suicide! Go check on her now!"
Lu Chengwen ran in and pulled the old lady off the windowsill.
The old lady's face was ashen as she kept murmuring the same sentence:
"Life… has no meaning at all…"
…
Inside the car.
Lu Chengwen and Xu Xuejiao were silent for a long time.
In the back seat, Little Monkey happily munched on snacks, completely unaffected.
After a long while, Xu Xuejiao finally spoke. "I know another one—"
Lu Chengwen stopped her. "For the sake of the psychologists' mental health, let's just stop. Leave a few capable psychologists for Xuecheng to see patients."
Doctor Zhao indeed looked different from the rest.
Xu Xuejiao sighed, "How could this happen?"
Lu Chengwen suddenly thought of Xia Ying.
"I know someone… but I'm not sure if they can handle it."
…
At Lu Chengwen's villa.
Xia Ying and Jiang Xiaohou were in a separate room.
Jiang Xiaohou laughed so hard he nearly fell over. "That idiot Lu Chengwen actually got me a psychologist? There's no one in this world who can hypnotize me!"
Xia Ying sighed. "Have you had enough fun?"
"I'm just getting started! Wow, Xia Ying-jie, you have no idea—Lu Chengwen is the most fun person I've ever met! He's so stupid! Don't be fooled by that black-hearted businessman act; this guy is actually really soft-hearted."
"But… the softer someone is, the scarier they become once they develop a true killing intent. I need to find a way to force that out of him…"
Xia Ying looked extremely frustrated. "You're from the Jiang family. You were born with immense talent, and you could've been the pride of your clan. Why—"
"The pride of the clan? Do they even need me for that? A hundred years from now, we'll all be nothing but bones. What's the point of being proud? Life is about having fun. If you're not happy, isn't living just endless suffering?"
Xia Ying said, "Life may have no meaning, but our experiences are meaningful to us. Family, honor, self-worth, dreams…"
"Aiya, don't try using those tricks meant for ordinary people on me. You know they don't work."
"Jiang Xiaohou, you're wrong. You're just an ordinary person too."
Jiang Xiaohou's expression turned cold. "Fine, I won't argue with you. You've been watching Lu Chengwen for so long—have you developed feelings for him? Heh, watching him fool around with Xu Xuejiao all the time, are you getting jealous?"
Xia Ying sighed. "I really wish you would grow up."
"Don't try to lecture me like an adult!" Jiang Xiaohou suddenly exploded with rage. "My fate is in my own hands! You have no say in it! The Jiang family has no say in it either!"
He glared at Xia Ying, seething. "Lu Chengwen is the most entertaining toy I've ever had! I won't stop until I've completely ruined him! If you have the guts, go ahead and tell him who I really am!"
Xia Ying's gaze turned ice-cold. "I don't have that authority."
"Then stay out of my way!"
Jiang Xiaohou's eyes flashed with cruelty and madness as he stared her down. "No one can stop me from doing what I want!"
Xia Ying said calmly, "Lu Chengwen is a good person."
"Haha! So what? He's a guwu practitioner! There are no good people among guwu practitioners!"
"He is."
"I know! That's what makes it fun!"
Jiang Xiaohou grinned and stepped behind Xia Ying, whispering in her ear. "I get it now. You like him! Hahaha, this is hilarious! The great genius of the Xia family has fallen for some rich second-gen guwu practitioner in a tiny border town up north… Hahaha! Just a mere Zhong Si Men! Ahahaha…"
Xia Ying shot up from her seat. "Lu Chengwen isn't as simple as you think. He's an extremely complex person. If you stay close to him, everything might spiral out of control."
Instead of being scared, Jiang Xiaohou's eyes widened with excitement. His voice even trembled. "Really!? That makes it even better! I've never been in a situation that got out of my control before!"
Xia Ying had had enough. She stood up to leave.
Jiang Xiaohou twisted his waist and smirked. "If the noble Xia Ying-jie is feeling needy, I can help you get rid of Xu Xuejiao."
Xia Ying turned back to look at him. "She's not a guwu practitioner. If you kill a mundane person, even the Jiang family won't be able to protect you."
Jiang Xiaohou grinned. "Who said I'd do it myself?"
"If you dare mess around, I'll be the first to destroy you. I don't bluff."
"Oh?"
The two powerful women stared each other down, both radiating cold, ruthless auras.
…
Leisure area.
Lu Chengwen lounged in rich-guy casualwear, one leg crossed over the other.
Xia Ying sat across from him.
Jiang Shihan brought them coffee before leaving to entertain the little monkey.
Lu Chengwen chuckled. "Wow, Miss Xia, you're looking really sexy today. Tsk tsk tsk, making a man's heart itch."
Xia Ying remained expressionless. "That little girl is in a very special and dangerous situation."
"Oh, come on, she's just a kid. How dangerous could she be?"
Xia Ying sighed. "Hand her over to me."
"You?" Lu Chengwen laughed. "Not a chance! I still don't even remember what you did to me last time. Who knows what tricks you pulled?"
"Lu Chengwen, you're just a black-hearted businessman. Why are you keeping such a troublesome little girl around?"
"Hehe, haven't you noticed how pretty she is? Once she grows up… I might keep her for myself."
"Lu Chengwen, I think you're forgetting something."
Xia Ying stood up and grabbed her handbag. "You can fool everyone else, but you can't fool me."
…
Xia Ying left.
Lu Chengwen had a nagging feeling that something was off about her, like there was a lot she wanted to say but couldn't.
These people really had nothing better to do.
Just then, his phone rang. A message from Hua Xuening popped up:
"Master, Che Qi Tianwang requests an audience."
Lu Chengwen was stunned. "Him!? He wants to see me!? Let him in."
