Chapter 518: Chapter 517: 491: Master of Traps

“Sis, make it clear to me, why did you suddenly change like this? You said that night when you just got back that you were only going to stay for one night and then head back to school. Yet, you didn’t go back to school and now you are torturing me…”

What had he done to deserve this!

“It’s because I took on a special patient, sister. I bought that necklace for mom with the money I earned treating that patient, thinking every great mother should receive a child’s repay.”

Even though Aunt is a person of questionable character, her motherly love for Li Zhen is genuine—unreciprocated love is still love.

“Don’t buy such expensive things in the future, really.” Jia Xiufang continued to complain, but her smile was sweeter than anyone else’s.

Her daughter knew how to buy things to show her filial piety now, enough for her to boast about to her friends.

“Mom’s your real mother, and I am your real brother. Why don’t you ever think to buy me something nice?” Chen Zilong felt so aggrieved.

“Because the patient’s mother is possibly a psychological infant, or the so-called immature person. I don’t want you to grow up that way. Chen Zilong, you have me and mom to take care of you now, but when you grow up, who will take care of you? You want the whole world to give in to you, but you need to have the ability for that. If you can’t even study well, what can you do?”

“Yes! What your sister said is right!”

“Just kill me, ah~”

Chen Zilong was collapsing.

“Well, if you want to die, it’s not difficult. If you fail to finish your homework in 7 days, Brother Lang will make sure you use a wheelchair; if you don’t write your homework in 10 days, Brother Lang will give you a one-way ticket to heaven, and if it’s a month without writing, Brother Lang—”

“Stop nagging! Can’t I just write it?!!!” Chen Zilong quickly packed up his things, not forgetting to grumble, “Brother Lang is almost killed by you, he is still the rightful heir of a listed company. You are treating him as a thug every day, Brother Lang is so wronged.”

“If the fish is not the fish, how can one know the fish’s joy? Tell me what this sentence means and where it comes from!”

Seeing the potent weapon wielded by the top performing student once again, the failing student slipped away, still not forgetting to grumble softly.

“I really hate you, this annoying relative of the patient, why do you inspire me so much, you are inspired, I am the one who suffers…”

“There will be rewards for completing all the exercises, and this summer vacation I will take you and mom out for a trip.”

“Really?!” Chen Zilong was energized again, full of vigor.

“I always say what I mean and I am clear about rewards and punishments. Go on and give it your best shot, young man!”

When Da Long left, Jia Xiufang asked, “Qian’er, are you really going to take him out?”

“Yes, a two-day tour of the ravines of our city. If Ming Lang can take time off then, we will bring him along, and he can also tutor Da Long.”

Xiao Qian had a deep, cryptic smile.

All of a sudden, Jia Xiufang felt sorry for her son.

He’s been tricked by his sister again…

“Qian’er, who are you treating for what kind of illness? Why are you making so much money all of a sudden? Could there be any problems?”

“Patients’ information is strictly confidential, but I can tell you there won’t be any problems. If there are any, they are someone else’s.”

“You always leave me hanging in the middle of your sentences, I’m still not at ease. Why don’t you return the necklace?” It’s satisfying enough that my child has the intention. I’m just worried about my child’s safety.”

“Precious metals do not offer a return policy, and besides, this matter is already approved by Ming Lang’s parents.”

“Oh, that’s alright – Qian’er, did you buy anything for Ming Lang’s parents?”

“Yes, I bought two sets of clothes. Not expensive ones, just a token of respect.”

The way Xiao Qian handled things was not flawed. It’s only that she felt a little sorry for Xiao Qiang.

She took care of everyone around her, just didn’t know what to give to Xiao Qiang.

She still remembers Xiao Qiang’s reluctant and clingy little eyes when they parted, not sure if he is going to have another nosebleed after this.

What Xiao Qiang wanted most was actually her, but what the two of them were lacking the most right now was time spent together.

In the afternoon, Xiao Qian went to the hospital where Li Zhen was being treated. Before the official treatment, she met Aunt and her husband along with Mother Yu to summarize the results of the treatment.

“He said his waist was a bit painful this morning, but then it didn’t hurt after a while. What’s going on?”

Aunt was now talking to Xiao Qian with a bit of reverence, intentionally or not.

Just like the feeling of ordinary patients when facing authoritative doctors.

“According to the results of my consultation yesterday, and after I went back to summarize it again, Li Zhen’s leg belongs to the category of psychosomatic compulsory concern. His slight reaction after treatment is the best proof. For the upcoming treatment, I plan to—Aunt, can you drive?”

Everyone was waiting for her to tell the result, but Xiao Qian said this unexpectedly.

“Yes, but you haven’t said what your plan is?” Aunt was listening at a critical moment when Xiao Qian suddenly stopped speaking.

“My throat’s a bit uncomfortable, and I really want to have a ConPanna at the coffee shop in the city center. Without the pick-me-up of a coffee, I won’t perform well this afternoon, after all, as someone who practices medicine without an Anesthesia, my powers are sometimes hit or miss…”

“I’ll have a driver go and get it.”

Xiao Qian shook her head, “I think if Li Zhen knew that his mother personally went to get drinks to help him recover sooner, he would be very touched, and things would get better sooner. Auntie, what would you like?”

Xiao Qian asked Mother Yu, and if it were normal times, Mother Yu would definitely decline politely. Now she didn’t even bother declining. Seeing how obediently Xiao Qian treated Aunt, Mother Yu felt as relaxed as having several bowls of Shunxin noodles.

“Then get me one too.”

“I’m not used to coffee, get me a juice.”

Even Aunt’s husband joined in.

It can be seen that Aunt has unknowingly offended many people around her and was unaware of it.

“Old Li, why are you joining in the fun too?” Aunt has been too shocked these past two days.

“If Li Zhen knew that you, for his sake—” Xiao Qian might not have many tactics, but the ones she has work well.

Aunt walked away bleakly, looking like a wronged little wife.

Mother Yu was happy in her heart, her youngest daughter-in-law is doing great. Coming to the hospital is actually making her happy now. It’s a happy thing for Li Zhen to have a new lease on life, and it’s also delightful to see Xiao Qian creatively giving orders to Aunt.

“Xiao Qian, you really know how to handle things. I’ve never bossed this old woman around in my entire life, and yet she listens to you.” Uncle was impressed with Xiao Qian.

“Uncle, let me introduce myself formally to you, I am Psychologist Chen Xiaoqian. I specialize in various difficult psychological problems. Not only can I treat people with mental illnesses, I am also good at consulting in marriage and emotional issues, people can even seek advice from me when they are not ill. Whether you are sick or not, I can give advice to make your love life happier.”

Uncle was confused, what does that mean?

Mother Yu was starting to understand her daughter-in-law’s game. Of her being formal about being a psychologist every time she was about to play a trick—

“She means, she can help you solve marital issues, but there is a price… market economy, free pricing.” Remembering Xiao Qian’s lines from yesterday, she seemed to have said this to herself.
