Chapter 517 - 491: Master at Setting Up Her Brother
"Sis, let me die understandingly, why did you suddenly change? The night you returned, you said you’d stay for just one night and then go back to school, but you didn’t return to school, and instead, you’re torturing me..."
Who did he provoke!
"That’s because I, your sister, took a special patient. The chain for our mom was bought with the money from treating the illness. I feel that every great mother deserves the rewards from her children."
Although the aunt might be a person with questionable behavior, her motherly love for Li Zhen is genuine; it’s misdirected love, but love nonetheless.
"Don’t buy such expensive things in the future, really." Jia Xiufang kept complaining, but her smile was sweeter than anyone else’s.
Her daughter knows how to buy things to be filial to her mother, enough for her to show off to her friends.
"Our mom is your real mom, but I’m still your real brother, aren’t I? Why don’t you know to buy me some nice things too?" Chen Zilong felt aggrieved.
"Because the mother of my patient is a psychological giant baby, which is commonly referred to as an immature person. I hope you won’t grow up to be like that. Chen Zilong, right now you have me and our mom taking care of you. Who will take care of you when you grow up? You want everyone in the world to accommodate you, yet you need to have the ability for that. If you can’t even study well, what else can you do?"
"Right! Your sister is right!"
"Just kill me, ah~"
Chen Zilong was breaking down.
"Hmm, if you want to die, it’s not difficult. Not finishing homework in 7 days, your brother Lang will let you sit in a wheelchair; not writing for 10 days, Lang will give you a one-way plane ticket to go play chess in the west; not writing for a month, your brother Lang—"
"Don’t mention it! I’ll write, I’ll write, okay!!!" Chen Zilong swiftly packed his things, but he couldn’t help but complain, "My brother Lang is going to be bullied to death by you. After all, he’s the heir of a listed company, and you keep using him as your personal chauffer. My brother Lang is so aggrieved."
"How can you know the happiness of a fish if you’re not a fish? Come on, explain the meaning and origin of this phrase to me!"
The top student unleashed her brilliance again, and the struggling student slunk away, unable to hold back small gripes.
"I really hate you as this annoying family member of the patient, why give you so much inspiration, you are inspired, but I’m the one who suffers from it..."
"Finish all the exercises and you’ll be rewarded. This summer, I’ll take you and our mom on a trip."
"Really?!" Chen Zilong perked up, full of energy.
"I never lie when I speak; rewards and punishments are clear, so go for it, young man!"
After Dalong left, Jia Xiufang asked, "Qian’er, really taking him out?"
"Hmm, a two-day tour of the local mountainous area. If Minglang has a vacation, we can take him along, he can even tutor Dalong."
Qian’s smile was profoundly deep.
Jia Xiufang suddenly felt sorry for her son.
He’s been fooled by his sister again...
"Qian’er, who has been receiving treatment, and what kind of illness is it? How did you suddenly earn so much money; could there be any problem?"
"Patient information is strictly confidential, but I can tell you there won’t be any issues. If there are problems, they belong to someone else."
"Why does your speech always leave half out; I’m still worried. How about you return the chain?" The intent of the child is fulfilling enough, just fearing the child’s safety.
"There’s no saying of returning precious metals, and both of Yu Minglang’s parents approve of this matter."
"Oh, that’s alright—by the way, Qian’er, did you buy something for Yu Minglang’s parents?"
"Hmm, bought two pieces of clothing. Not expensive, just a gesture of goodwill."
Qian’er handles things flawlessly, just feeling a bit sorry for her Xiaoqiang.
She’s taking care of everyone around her, but doesn’t know what to give Xiaoqiang.
When they parted, she remembered his reluctant and clingy little eyes, not knowing whether he’d have a nosebleed by the time he gets back.
Actually, what he wants most is her, but what the two lack most currently is time together.
In the afternoon, Qian’er went to Li Zhen’s hospital, first meeting with the aunt and uncle couple and Mrs. Yu to summarize the treatment outcomes before formal therapy commenced.
"He said his waist hurt a bit this morning, but later it didn’t hurt anymore. What’s going on?"
Now when the aunt talks to Qian’er, she unconsciously carries a bit of reverence.
Like the mood of ordinary patients facing authoritative doctors.
"Based on my diagnosis yesterday, I summarized when I got back. Li Zhen’s leg indeed falls under the category of forced focus on physical and mental illness. His reaction after therapy is the best proof of this, so for the next treatment, I plan—Aunt, do you know how to drive?"
Everyone was waiting for her to say the result, but Qian’er came out with this sentence.
"I can, you haven’t said what you plan to do?" Aunt was at the critical moment of listening, but Qian’er didn’t say it.
"My throat feels a bit uncomfortable. I really want some ConPanna from the city center’s cafe. Without coffee to refresh, I can’t perform well in the afternoon, after all, I’m a practitioner without a license, whose skills are sometimes there, sometimes not..."
"I’ll have the driver get it."
Qian’er shook her head, "I think if Li Zhen knew that mom personally bought drinks for his early recovery, he’d be especially moved, and he’d get better quicker. Aunty, what would you like to drink?"
The aunt asked Mrs. Yu. Usually, Mrs. Yu would exchange pleasantries, but she skipped that now. Seeing the aunt rendered speechless by Qian’er, Mrs. Yu felt as comforted as if she’d eaten several bowls of soothing noodles.
"Then get me a cup too."
"I’m not used to coffee, get me a juice."
Even the uncle chimed in.
It shows that the aunt has unknowingly offended many around her.
"Li, why are you joining in the fun too?" The aunt had taken too much stimulation these last couple of days.
"If Li Zhen knows, you did this for him—" Qian’er’s methods aren’t many, but they’re very effective.
The aunt left feeling defeated, like an aggrieved wife.
Mrs. Yu was joyous, her youngest daughter-in-law was too capable. Visiting the hospital was genuinely enjoyable. Happy for Li Zhen’s recovery from despair, delighted seeing Qian’er commandeer the aunt.
"Qian’er, you still have ways. I haven’t commanded that old lady of ours in my entire life; she truly listens to you." Even the uncle admired Qian’er.
"Uncle, I’m formally introducing myself to you: I’m psychologist Chen Xiaoqian. I specialize in psychological disorders, but I’m also proficient in marital and emotional consultations. Even without being ill, people can seek my advice. If you’re ill, I treat; if not, I make you emotionally happier."
The uncle was perplexed; what’s the meaning of this?
Mrs. Yu already somewhat understood her daughter-in-law’s approach. If she’s particularly formal in claiming to be a psychologist, the undertone is—
"Her meaning is she can help resolve marital issues at a cost... Market economy, free pricing." Mrs. Yu thought back to Qian’er’s lines yesterday; she seemed to have said this to herself.
