“Selling me wouldn’t be a problem, but you… you can’t!”
Jia Xiufang looked at her daughter, feeling that if she had a kitchen knife, she could fight Chen Lin to the death at any minute.
Her daughter was so beautiful and so intelligent; how could she be sent to that kind of place and do that kind of thing that sells her body? Any mother would never allow such a thing to happen.
“Divorce, everything will be fine after the divorce. With a divorce, my younger brother and I will be safe!” This sentence must be said with unwavering determination because Xiao Qian knew that her mother would think about this sentence in her mind continuously.
This is the subconscious suggestion, a method often used by psychologists.
“But what if your dad isn’t that kind of person? What if the fire wasn’t caused by him?”
Jia Xiufang’s words didn’t make Xiao Qian angry; instead, they made her very happy.
Correcting character flaws would be a repetitive process. Jia Xiufang’s doubts now were actually a good thing because it showed that in her heart, she had started to consider “divorce” as a goal and was only looking for excuses in the process of realization.
What Xiao Qian needed to do was to prove that all these excuses were useless.
Chen Lin always got himself in trouble. He had many weaknesses, so dealing with him would be extremely easy.
“There are two pieces of evidence that can prove that my dad wants to sell me. First, you’ll see if he doesn’t have a single penny left when he comes back and if he makes a bunch of excuses. Second, find out if he has severed ties with Chu Xue.”
Among these two pieces of evidence, the first one was Chen Lin’s own fault, and the second one was what Xiao Qian was going to do next. She would try every way to get proof of Chen Lin and Chu Xue being together.
“Your dad can’t go that far, he can’t…” Jia Xiufang said without much confidence, and Xiao Qian could hear her mother’s uneasiness.
Hehe, Xiao Qian was going to succeed.
“Time will prove everything, mom. Remember, he will use up all the money, and the next step is to sell me at Night Shanghai in a super short skirt as hostess.”
This is called keyword suggestion. Over the next few days, she would conduct Pavlovian conditioning training in front of her mother. She would mention the words “super short skirt” and “Night Shanghai” every day, so that when Chen Lin came back with an empty bankbook, Jia Xiufang would think of those words without Xiao Qian having to say anything.
How could she not divorce then?
This was Pavlov’s conditioned reflex.
“Mom, I need you, remember that! 1 need you! If you collapse, my younger brother and I will be done for. You must be strong. You have to protect me and my younger brother!”
Jia Xiufang felt as if she had swallowed a Determination Pill. Yes, she couldn’t just think about unreliable men; she had two kids to raise. Her kids needed her!
Xiao Qian looked at Jia Xiufang’s expression, and a victorious smile crept onto her face. She looked at the picture on the wall of Jia Xiufang and Chen Lin, filled with mockery.
Soon, she would replace all these photos with pictures of herself, Chen Zilong, and Jia Xiufang, without leaving a single trace of Chen Lin. Compared to a useless man that one would depend on and a “strongly needed” child for her mother’s protection, the latter would crush Chen Lin with an overwhelming advantage for Jia Xiufang, who had a dependent personality.
“Change your clothes. Let’s go to the hospital,” Xiao Qian said to her mom.
Having hinted at Jia Xiufang’s mental state, she would now make sure her mother’s body was treated as well.
Xiao Qian took her mother to the hospital.
As they passed her workplace, Xiao Qian thought of that annoying guy again, the damn flirt who messed with girls and then ran off.
“Qian’er, it’s enough for you to get the tests; why did you register for me too?” Jia Xiufang asked.
“Since we’re here, might as well do it. At a certain age, women should have gynecological checkups every year. It’s common knowledge.”
“Return the money and don’t come in. Hospitals are all scams—they’ll find something wrong with you even if you’re not sick,” said Jia Xiufang, unwilling to go inside.
“Registration fees can’t be refunded. Don’t waste money,” Xiao Qian insisted, dragging her mother in without hesitation. Seeing her mother hesitating, she decided to push further.
“Mom, if you don’t care about your own health, if you fall, my brother and I will… Night Shanghai, super short skirts!”
“I’ll go!” Jia Xiufang no longer hesitated. She wanted to fight Chen Lin to the end for her two children!
Since they arrived early, the female doctor didn’t have any other patients and was drinking water from a big tea bowl. When she saw Xiao Qian’s face, her eyes lit up.
Xiao Qian didn’t know why this 30-something-year-old female doctor seemed so excited to see her.
Xiao Qian might not know the doctor, but the doctor knew Xiao Qian—it was Sister-in-law Yu Zhaozhao.
Yu Zhaozhao saw how her younger brother had been interacting with the girl, and when she saw Xiao Qian brought herself to the hospital, she couldn’t contain her excitement, so she stood up and welcomed her personally.
“Doctor, I’d like to arrange a comprehensive gynecological examination for my mother. Please give us the forms, and we’ll get the tests done,” Xiao Qian wondered why the doctor was so enthusiastic. Were all doctors like this now?
Why would the doctor stand up to greet her? What was going on?
“Alright, tell me your name, age, home address, and marital history,” Sister-in-law Yu asked calmly, trying to suppress her excitement.
“My mom’s name is Jia Xiufang, she’s 48 years old, lives at Baitaling 280. As for marital history… should I mention that too?” Xiao Qian felt like she had walked into a marriage agency instead of a hospital if not for the doctor wearing a white gown.
The doctor was asking about Xiao Qian, but she answered with Jia Xiufang’s information.
Yu Zhaozhao could only bear the bubbling gossip cells in her heart, and was afraid to ask more for fear of revealing her identity. But knowing the girl’s address made it easier to find out more later on.
After giving Xiao Qian’s mother the test forms, Xiao Qian glanced at them and added a request.
“In addition to the regular gynecological check-up, add a mammography as well.”
“That one is a bit more expensive. Normally, it’s sufficient to do an ultrasound and then decide whether to do that test based on the results,” Sister-in-law Yu wanted to save Xiao Qian some money, so she only arranged an ultrasound.
“Money is not a problem, but my mom’s check-up must be thorough.”
The reason Xiao Qian asked for this test was that it could help early diagnosis of breast cancer. Most people wouldn’t do this test during a regular check-up.
“Qian’er, save the money and don’t bother with the additional test,” Jia Xiufang worried about the money and didn’t want to have the extra test done.
“Is money more important or life more important? Have you forgotten the super short skirt? Doctor, tell her, if we do other tests, this one will have a discount, right?” Xiao Qian winked at the doctor.
Yu Zhaozhao nodded in agreement, as this was a common tactic used by children to prevent their parents from worrying about the cost. Her first impression of Xiao Qian was very good.
She was very filial.
After preparing the test forms, Xiao Qian accompanied Jia Xiufang to have the tests done. When they came back, Yu Zhaozhao examined the test results carefully.
“How is my mother’s health? Are there any problems?” Xiao Qian asked..
