327 The Suspicion of the Other Personality
As he stared at the children’s back figures, Ao Jie said with heartache, “Little Hui, aren’t you being too strict? I just arrived not long ago. They just finished practicing calligraphy…”
“Let’s go and continue your treatment,” Xu Qing said directly when she saw that Qiao Yanhui didn’t say anything. After all, how could parents not feel sorry for their children? However, their lives were destined to be extraordinary. No one could protect them forever, so they had to learn how to protect themselves.
Seeing this, Ao Jie didn’t say anything else because the treatment was about to begin. Every time he was about to receive treatment, he felt a little nervous, but he didn’t know why.
“Relax, we’re all here,” Xu Qing said in an extremely gentle voice.
Ao Jie looked at Xu Qing, then he slowly lowered his head.
Xu Qing planned to hypnotize Ao Jie again because Ao Jie’s other personality hadn’t appeared for a long time, which meant that Ao Jie’s emotions had been relatively stable recently. She wondered if she could get anything out of him with this hypnosis.
“Ao Jie…” Xu Qing called out softly.
“I’m here,” Ao Jie replied.
Xu Qing nodded at Qiao Yanhui to signal that the hypnosis had already begun. Qiao Yanhui stared at Ao Jie, for fear that Ao Jie would suddenly become manic like last time and hurt Xu Qing again.
Xu Qing decided not to ask Ao Jie what happened when he was seven years old this time. Instead, she chatted with him. “Does your mother treat you well?”
“Mother?” Ao Jie was a little puzzled, as if he was thinking about who his mother was.
Xu Qing’s eyes flickered. “That’s right. How does your mother treat you?”
After Ao Jie finally remembered his mother, he started struggling.
As expected, what happened to Ao Jie was related to Lin Shu.
Ao Jie struggled, but not long after, he was comforted by Xu Qing.
Only then did Ao Jie answer, “Mother… Mother…” Ao Jie looked confused, and he slowly stopped struggling. “It’s so dark and cold there. A woman hit me with a whip and starved me, but I’m in so much pain. I’m so hungry and so cold. I want to go out…” Ao Jie trembled as he spoke, his eyes filled with fear.
Qiao Yanhui’s expression darkened. No wonder Ao Jie had been afraid of the dark since he was seven years old. At night, he didn’t even dare to walk alone and even had to ask someone to sleep with him. The lights in the room also had to be lit all night.
“Ao Jie, don’t be afraid. We’re here to accompany you.” Xu Qing continued to coax him gently.
When Ao Jie heard this warm voice, which enveloped him like sunlight, he didn’t feel cold anymore.
“Tell me, who locked you up? Who bullied you?” Xu Qing asked gently.
“Who is it?” Ao Jie was confused again. That’s right, why did that person treat him like that and then tell him that she was his mother? Why did she lock him up? Why did she beat him up?
“Is she my mother?” Ao Jie muttered to himself.
“No! She’s not! She’s not!” Suddenly, Ao Jie became agitated and began to roar angrily as he kept struggling to get up. His expression of anger and hatred shocked Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui.
“I’m going to kill you! Go to hell!” Suddenly, Ao Jie opened his eyes. This time, his eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious how resentful he was. He resented the person who locked him up and beat him up. He resented the person who claimed to be his mother.
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed. “The other personality has appeared.”
Ao Jie smiled evilly as he jumped onto the table at the side and his eyes were filled with excitement. He hadn’t come out for a long time. “Brother, we meet again.”
Xu Qing frowned. Why did Ao Jie call Qiao Yanhui Brother every time his other personality appeared?
Xu Qing looked at Ao Jie. The first thing she noticed was that his evil gaze was a little similar to Qiao Yanhui’s, although Ao Jie and Qiao Yanhui were half-brothers, so they naturally looked alike. However, Qiao Yanhui’s eyes weren’t similar to Ao Heng’s eyes at all, so it was obvious that Qiao Yanhui inherited Qiao Jiqing’s eyes. Then what about Ao Jie?
Thinking of this, Xu Qing’s heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, that devilish voice sounded again. “Brother, you actually protected a stranger instead of your brother! How can you do this?” Ao Jie looked at Xu Qing, who was protected by Qiao Yanhui, with envy and indignance. Why was he being bullied? Why did no one care about him?!
Qiao Yanhui’s expression darkened, but he only stared at Ao Jie coldly.
Ao Jie stared at Xu Qing hatefully. Qiao Yanhui was his brother. Why was he snatched away by this woman?
