Chapter 519: Chapter 493: Suspense Comes to an End

“I’ll make a list of what to get, so we won’t buy the wrong groceries. I’ve prepared your mother’s snacks, I’ll have someone send them to you—”

Seeing Xiao Qian push her glasses, her aunt immediately changed her tone.

“I’ll personally bring them to you!”

“Sorry for the trouble.”

“No trouble at all!”

“Alright then, please send them before 8 pm tonight and bring some grilled skewers for my younger brother. Kids shouldn’t eat too late for supper.”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Her aunt’s attitude was overly polite.

“And, I can’t let my aunt help you. If Li Zhen finds out—” Xiao Qian made a knowing expression, and her aunt nodded her head, quickly grabbing her bag and heading out.

“Isn’t our aunt still on vacation?” Mother Yu asked Xiao Qian once her aunt was gone, not bothering to hide it even from Uncle.

“Let’s give her a vacation now. When her aunt comes to our house, our aunt should rest. Uncle, you should go and have dinner too. Don’t help her, this is also a part of the treatment I’m giving her.”

“I still have to accompany Li Zhen in bed and can’t leave. I’ll arrange for her to send the things to you on her way here; it’s on the way anyway.”

Her uncle felt that the purple clay teapot was worth the treatment, enjoying the status of a man in a feudal family just after the treatment began, with someone sending meals. He never had this treatment when he was young, but now enjoyed it in his old age and retirement.

Little Qian’s treatments left her aunt so well-behaved that she didn’t dare to complain. Xiao Qian also told Mother Yu not to help her even if she felt pity for her aunt, at most just watching and giving guidance on how to cook.

Letting Mother Yu experience how her aunt bullied her in the past would actually help her. Some people become discontented when treated too kindly, making her experience what she had done to others in the past would be helpful.

Mother Yu, after all, was a doctor with quality, she couldn’t do what her aunt did in the past—making someone wash bloodied menstrual pads. Now that her aunt was here, she mostly cooked and cleaned up the kitchen, but even that exhausted her completely.

She hadn’t done housework for many years, her whole body ached from working all day, and her arms were sore every time she lifted them.

But when her body became busy, her mind would become clearer and she didn’t think as much anymore. She busied herself in her brother’s and sister-in-law’s house and saw how busy the Yu family couple was with their work. They would spend their spare time visiting Li Zhen, working together for their common concern.

After a few days, Little Qian didn’t even have to give commands anymore. Her aunt took the initiative to handle everything clearly, making great progress.

While treating Li Zhen, Xiao Qian occasionally gave her aunt some pointers, saying, “That’s how you treated my future mother-in-law.” Although her aunt didn’t admit it, her attitude towards Mother Yu and Father Yu became more respectful. She wasn’t so presumptuous anymore and seemed to understand the meaning of having a big family.

Xiao Qian stayed for a week, not only greatly improving Li Zhen’s condition but also transforming her aunt into a completely different person. Boss Qian was an expert in dealing with disobedience; having treated her aunt, her aunt was respectful in her presence.

Father Yu and Mother Yu were both impressed with Xiao Qian, who had tamed an ill-tempered giant baby who had been spoiled for a lifetime. No matter how much her family catered to her, she never treated them well, but Xiao Qian mistreated her, and she faced Xiao Qian with a smile every day.

Xiao Qian explained the reason for this quite simply: if you only give a child candy, they will become spoiled. When it’s necessary to be strict, you must be strict. Her aunt was obviously spoiled by everyone, and she wouldn’t dare go against Xiao Qian even if she wanted to make trouble in the future.

No wonder Xiao Qian was willing to be the bad guy, because being a bad guy has its advantages—nobody dares to bully you. Even bad people need other bad people to keep them in check, and relying on the goodwill of others to change would not be effective. The survival of the fittest is the result of human evolution, and capability determines status.

After Xiao Qian’s treatment, Li Zhen’s psychological issue was finally resolved. The condition seemed severe, but it was not complicated to treat.

If it weren’t for helping Li Zhen and his father mend their emotional gap, Xiao Qian could have resolved the issue in just three sessions.

After the last treatment, Li Zhen was completely fine. Though he had to stay bedridden temporarily due to a fracture, he could recover to his normal state with proper rest. His mood was completely different from before.

He could now face his sexual orientation openly. Xiao Qian planted the concept into everyone’s minds that homosexuality is not considered a pathological condition in psychology. Treatment should not only focus on Li Zhen, his family should also not discriminate against him, so that he can live more courageously.

Li Zhen gained his father’s understanding and saw his mother’s transformation.

It truly applied to Xiao Qian’s saying: Thunder and rain are both gifts of heaven, appreciate every turning point in fate, even if it seemed tragic at the time, looking back it is full of gratitude.

Before leaving, Xiao Qian left a note for her uncle. It contained her treatment plan for her aunt and a travel itinerary.

Her treatment plan for her aunt was actually quite simple: once Li Zhen was well enough to stand, her uncle should take her aunt on a vacation to a serene place. The family could bond during this time, and after returning, they should immediately move to a new city to settle down. They should keep her aunt away from her previous circle of wealthy ladies, enable her to forget her status, and restore her initial intentions.

Don’t be too kind to her aunt, be mindful of her circle of friends, and don’t let her associate with people with impure motives. Her aunt is willful but simple-minded. If not watched over, she is easily taken advantage of. Her uncle is retired and should take her traveling, accompany her, and her twisted heart would gradually return to the family.

Having dealt with everything, Xiao Qian was ready to leave, carrying her gains, a bulging wallet. However, an unexpected incident occurred, forcing her to stay.

When Xiao Qian received Chu Xuan’s call, she had already boarded the car arranged by Father Yu and was about to return to school. The car was about to leave Qiang City.

“I am Chen Xiaoqian.”

“Dr. Chen, something, something’s happened!” Chu Xuan’s voice was full of panic.

“Don’t worry, tell me slowly, what happened?”

Chu Xuan is Hu Meijing’s husband, and Hu Meijing is Lone Wolf’s fiancee. After Lone Wolf’s death, she developed an alternating personality, forgetting her past with Lone Wolf and marrying Chu Xuan, starting a new life with the help of her teacher.

Xiao Qian came into contact with Chu Xuan because he had suffered from seasonal manic disorder. Xiao Qian had treated him, and so Chu Xuan had her phone number.

“My wife, my wife, she’s gone crazy!”

Chu Xuan’s panicked voice came over the phone. He had been Xiao Qian’s patient, so he respected her tremendously and saw her as a lifesaver.

Xiao Qian’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be—?!

“Don’t worry, calmly tell me what happened to your wife?”

“She’s been feeling unwell these past few days, so I took her to the hospital for a checkup. It turns out she is 2 months pregnant. We were very happy but as we were leaving she suddenly fainted. When she woke up, she didn’t recognize me and screamed for Lone Wolf. Who is Lone Wolf?”
