Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 348 - 322: Unconditional Love (Birthday Extra)

"Any cost!" Jingjing’s mother replied without hesitation.

Jingjing’s father cooperated as he said, "Mr Chen, as long as you can cure her, whatever the cost, we will sell our house and pay you!"

"The treatment is free—well, not exactly free; it’s the consultation fee, which Jingjing already paid me."

The consultation fee was the punch Qian delivered when Jingjing got up to fight back when she was almost bullied by thugs. Qian never let anyone who bullied her off easily, but she also never forgot anyone who helped her.

"Then what do you need us to do—?"

"Take her away from the city, to a place where no one knows her. In the short term, do not contact any relatives or friends. Start over as a family of three. I know this is very difficult for you."

Jingjing’s parents were professors with official jobs.

They had lived in this city for half their lives and had their own roots here.

Forcing them to give it all up was a cruel thing.

For Chinese people, the word "comfort" is paramount. This middle-class family, for the sake of their daughter, might have to give up that comfort.

Selling their house, giving up their jobs, moving to another city, starting anew.

"We were literally recalled to work post-retirement. We had planned to move to Lishi before. Now with how Jingjing is, it’s all over the news; she would only get more and more judgment from people."

Jingjing’s father decisively stated, and even Qian didn’t voice it, but he too did not wish to live here anymore.

He and his wife had their daughter when they were nearing 40, spoiling her all the way, yet they did not expect such a thing to happen.

If they stayed here, rumors would kill Jingjing. When she steps out with people whispering around her, they would say, "That’s the girl who was once abducted; her parents are both university lecturers..."

As Qian said, the harm of rumors is no less than the violence she had experienced.

Violence hurts at a moment, but rumors can follow her a whole lifetime. Even when she is old, people might still say that she was abducted when she was young...

Discussing others’ misfortunes doesn’t give them more to eat or more money but provides the pleasure of gossip, even if it means re-traumatizing the victim again.

Therefore, Qian’s plan for distance was fully agreed upon by Jingjing’s parents.

Qian nodded in satisfaction: this could be considered a blessing in disguise. Fortunately, Jingjing’s parents loved her dearly. If the parents of the girl who gave birth in the ravine were willing to do the same, would she not come back?

This is a mystery.

"Begin the relocation; I will provide therapy for Jingjing every week. I am currently using intention therapy, and in 2 months to half a year, I will weave a whole new imaginary fairytale world for her. I will meet with her every few days; during this time, please stay by her side. When she screams about a snake, hold her tight and tell her mom and dad are here, don’t fear, and buy a lot of Crazy Rabbit toys to place in her room."

"Crazy Rabbit toys?"

"Yes, the bigger, the better. And also..."

Qian pulled Jingjing’s mother aside and lowered her voice to speak.

"If possible, tomorrow I want you to have the doctor give her a sedative shot, then while she is asleep, we take her to the obstetrics and gynecology department. I know a very good doctor."

"Obstetrics and gynecology... is Jingjing pregnant?!" Jingjing’s mother was severely shaken.

Qian shook her head, "No, after my intention therapy, I plan to add a memory suppression treatment. I want to erase this period of her memory."

"You can erase memory?!" Jingjing’s mother was incredulously surprised.

Qian nodded, "It’s difficult. Generally, only doctors like me can do it, and not everyone’s memory can be erased. I just tested it; Jingjing is one of those with weak suppression, so it’s possible. I must remove her psychological shadow before erasing her memories. Otherwise, even if she has forgotten now, she will still encounter issues later on. The subconscious mind is terrifying."

"As long as you can do that, I am willing to do anything!" Hearing her daughter might live a normal life, Jingjing’s mother was extremely excited.

"What I mean is, first, go to the obstetrics and gynecology department and do a membrane repair because I sense that even if Jingjing’s memory is erased, she will still care about this in the future."

The impact from that phoenix male was lifelong for her. Such a profound experience, Qian couldn’t erase it.

"Whatever you suggest, we will do!"

After seeing Qian off, Jingjing’s parents stayed by her side as she slumbered, quietly weeping.

"Is this Mr. Chen a heavenly-sent angel?" Jingjing’s mother spoke to herself, wondering how her precious daughter came to this point.

Meanwhile, when Yu Minglang was walking Qian back home, Qian suddenly spoke.

"Xiaoqiang, in the future, we must be good to each other’s parents."

Yu Minglang didn’t understand why she said this and questioned her with his eyes.

Qian closed her eyes and, grasping his hand, uttered emotionally.

"When we immerse ourselves in a love where we value it above everything else, to our parents, we are their true greatest love. Although there’re parents like my scummy dad in this world, parents like Jingjing’s, who love their children dearly, are the absolute mainstream."

They sacrifice everything for their children, loving them unconditionally, no matter what they become.

And so-called love, how many can withstand the storms and challenges? That phoenix man, obsessed over a membrane, ended up harming Jingjing and landing himself in jail.

"I understand now; I will take good care of your mother and treat her as my own," Yu Minglang promised.

Qian opened her eyes, "I will also treat your parents as mine."

In marrying into each other’s families, if done right, it becomes a complete family.

Jia Xiufang had been waiting until late night to see Qian and Yu Minglang return together, taking out the late-night snack she prepared for them.

After a long ordeal, Qian was also hungry and ate the small dumplings Jia Xiufang cooked with Yu Minglang.

"Minglang, it’s so late; why don’t you stay over the night?" Jia Xiufang suggested to Yu Minglang, who immediately bit his tongue in surprise.

"Pfft!" Qian sprayed a mouthful of dumpling soup on Jia Xiufang.

"Mom!"

This was the same mother who preached the importance of a membrane before her daughter stepped out the door, now offering such a suggestion!

"What are you pretending for! It’s so late, why do you want Minglang to keep running around? I’ve never seen such a willful girl! Troubling Minglang multiple times a day, and with injuries, Minglang, just squeeze with Dalong for tonight, make do instead of going back."

She said to squeeze with Dalong, but Jia Xiufang knew with a mere glance that Yu Minglang was bound to sneak into Qian’s room.

Qian rolled her eyes speechlessly, pretending not to see the green light in Yu Minglang’s eyes.
