Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 514 - 488: Unleashing a Big Move (Bonus for 1,400 Monthly Tickets)

"You see, telling the truth is always unpopular. For someone like your mother whom I dislike, I have to charge more. Either my heart or my money has to be on the road, without breaking my oath to my teacher, but also making myself happy."

If she likes them, she charges less or not at all; with an aunt like this, she has no guilt about charging a lot, can treat if she wants or leave if not interested, not compelled.

No matter how high Qian charges, those people still cry and beg for her treatment. Her professional skill is evident, and the wealthier they are, the more they cherish life. They wouldn’t dare find a cheap doctor, so Qian’s earnings are inevitable.

"Can’t you hide your dislike for my mother?" Li Zhen laughed helplessly.

"Has she done anything that makes me like her? Life can be long or short. Any day could be the end; why shouldn’t we find ways to make ourselves happy? Even if we don’t actively harm others, we shouldn’t hide our dislike for them. For example, deep down, you must have something you particularly dislike or prefer, and you suppress it."

"Is it related to my sexual orientation? Actually, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you, Chen Xiaoqian, do you particularly dislike homosexuals?"

"It might be related to your orientation, or maybe not. I will help you relax and explore your subconscious to find the root of your illness. As for the topic of homosexuality, I can definitely tell you, I don’t dislike or discriminate against them. I neither support nor oppose. I have good friends with gender dysphoria who only like women, but it doesn’t affect my appreciation for their character. But Ni Jianren, even if he turns into ashes, I would spit on him."

The friend Qian referred to with gender identity disorder is Qiuqiu.

The first one to accept Qiuqiu in the dorm was Qian. She never concealed her admiration for Qiuqiu: an independent character, warmhearted, and ready to help friends. Regardless of being homosexual or heterosexual, such a person attracts many friends, and Shi Touyu and Da Yi also grew fond of him after getting acquainted.

"So, you aren’t someone who rejects gays. I really misunderstood you before... I remember our meeting before, you hinted and also just told me that I’m a man."

Li Zhen became enlightened. Qian never discriminated against him, even treating his orientation as normal. She wouldn’t think all gays are effeminate but just despises Jianren’s sham marriage. Thinking this way made him less troubled.

"Just realized? Actually, many times, people’s pressure comes from themselves. You overly magnify others’ misunderstanding of your orientation, thinking everyone discriminates against you, but that’s not the case." Qian subtly guided the conversation toward therapy.

"By the way, my compliment just now—can you exclude that from the bill? You’re too expensive..."

"I cannot. Oh, that sentence counts as well."

Such a "black-hearted" doctor, yet Li Zhen found himself somewhat admiring Qian.

After earning Li Zhen’s trust, Qian began professional treatment, proving the worth of 20,000 per hour with her expertise.

Without Yu Minglang, no one could lip-read, so no one knew what she said to Li Zhen in the ward.

But after the first two-hour and ten-minute session, Li Zhen’s leg had a moment of sensation, which excited everyone.

It proved Qian’s theory that his leg issue was psychological. Finding the treatment direction indicated hope.

The therapy was really expensive, but the aunt and uncle found it worth it.

Especially the aunt, no longer dared to look at Qian sideways. When Mrs. Yu tapped Li Zhen’s leg, and he said it hurt, the aunt cried with joy.

Qian, unapologetic, after proving her skills, directed the aunt to do errands, quite frankly.

Occasionally sending her to buy water and then saying the bought water wasn’t good enough, forcing her around without any complaint.

Mr. Yu returned in the evening, and Mrs. Yu told him about the incident, which made him gleeful.

His unruly sister was finally dealt with.

Even if Qian asked her aunt to carry a rag and clean the entire Yu Family house, including the toilet, she wouldn’t object after knowing Qian’s first successful treatment for Li Zhen, and she immediately transferred 100,000 yuan as just the first installment.

The next day, Qian arranged to meet Li Zhen in the afternoon. In the morning, Jia Xiufang asked her to accompany her to collect money, but Qian refused.

Jia Xiufang felt quite upset, with her daughter returning for a few days yet not accompanying her. At noon, laden with groceries, Jia Xiufang encountered Mr. Liao in the hallway.

"Hey sis, why did you buy so many groceries? Quite a good meal, with chicken and fish."

"Isn’t it because my Qian’er is back? Buying some for her nourishment, she eats junk outside, so thin like a stick."

Actually, Qian hadn’t slimmed down; it was her mom who always thought she looked frail and wanted to nourish her well.

"Haha, you really care for your child." Mr. Liao praised.

"Nothing much, isn’t she my flesh and blood? But this girl, grown up and distant, won’t accompany me, running out every day!"

Jia Xiufang was somewhat frustrated informally, as Qian was going to the Yu household later. Though annoyed, she’s habitually venting, not truly angry with her daughter.

"Children have their lives after growing up. My one also causes me worry; his mother has been gone for so long, and he still lacks social sense, with nobody close to him; it’s worrisome."

"You’re right, my second child also causes trouble..."

Parents always talk endlessly about their children, which Qian heard clearly inside.

She intended to open the door for her mom, but hearing the old lady gossipping about her, she decided not to, and grabbed a long box, let her use a key instead~

Looking down from the window, Liao Fugui returned with his broken Santana, even hearable from afar, seemingly a second-hand car.

A vice forensic pathologist in such a state, truly something, Qian fiddled with the box, staring down.

Chen Zilong came home from school, greeted Liao Fugui. Qian didn’t know what they discussed but saw Liao Fugui’s gentle smile.

Wow, this sharp guy has a gentle side too, possibly probing her silly brother? Time to alert Da Long to act!
