Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 505: Chapter 479: What are you doing (Monthly Ticket 1200+ Updated)

“What’s a pity? What’s so scary about us being friends? You like men, not women. My fiancé may be jealous, but he knows your sexual orientation. He can’t be your love rival, and he won’t be hostile towards you. So we can still be friends.”

Xiao Qian interrupted Li Zhen’s thoughts.

Li Zhen was both amused and annoyed by her words.

“You know it’s not what I meant—”}

“Oh, so you’re afraid I’ll be jealous and that you’ll get along well with my Xiao Qiang? That’s even more impossible. Although you two are cousins, and Shi Touyu has drawn many such gay comics with the label ‘forbidden love,’ it’s all misleading. Rabbits don’t eat grass near their nests!”

“I didn’t mean that!” Li Zhen hadn’t realized before that Xiao Qian was so good at changing the subject.

“So you mean you’re afraid that if you get along with Yu Minglang, I’d be jealous? Rest assured, as long as I’m here, he won’t fall in love with any man or woman. I still have that much confidence.”

“I should go die.” Li Zhen’s despairing thoughts were all messed up by Xiao Qian’s interruptions. How could this girl have such contrasting sides, sometimes strong like a mountain, and sometimes playful like a madman?

“Go ahead, die. When you die, your father will be desperate for the rest of his life. He’ll blame himself for not educating you well, and he’ll regret not taking care of you. Your mother is already in such a state without any stimulation, and if she gets a shock, she might take some pills and die too. Every Qingming Festival, I’d have to carry three paper offerings. The cost is just too high…”

Li Zhen was infuriated, “Why is your mouth so poisonous? If you have a grudge against me, come at me. Why do you have to curse my parents to die early too?!”

“This is not a curse, it’s the experience of a psychologist after many years of clinical practice. Li Zhen, you can disbelieve me, but you can’t disbelieve my profession. If you should die right now, your soul mustn’t scatter. Keep your eyes wide open and see what happens to your parents! Do you know what it feels like for an old person to send off a young one?”

“Do you know what it feels like to live a life worse than death? Look at me now, like a fucking little baby! Look at what I’m wearing. Why do I have to live so pathetically?”

“You may feel pathetic, but your parents see your remaining breath as their last glimmer of hope! I told you about the athlete with high-level paraplegia, who cries every night until daybreak. But in front of his family, he has to put on a brave face. Do you know why? Because he knows that even if he lives without dignity, his parents and wife and child will feel hopeful about life. You’re just different from others in sexual orientation, but you’re a man, a responsible and capable man. Can’t you bear just this setback?”

“I want to be strong, but tell me, what’s the point of living like this? From here down, there’s no feeling at all. These legs are still attached to me, but there’s no reaction. I lie in bed, my parents argue outside for my sake. They think I’m asleep, but I can hear everything. With me looking like this, I…”

Li Zhen couldn’t continue. His long-suppressed emotions burst out. Since the accident, he hadn’t spoken so much to anyone, let alone lose his temper. He’d been bottling up his emotions, and Xiao Qian had gently guided him to vent them.

At this moment, Father Yu, Mother Yu, and Father Li were all watching from the surveillance camera. Although they couldn’t hear the sound, they could sense Li Zhen’s emotional agitation.

“It’s no good. He can’t be stimulated. I have to stop that girl. She’s angry and resentful at me, don’t treat Li Zhen like this.” Father Li couldn’t bear to watch and tried to stand up, only to feel a pair of strong hands pressing down on his shoulders.

When he looked up, it was Yu Minglang in uniform.

“Youngest, when did you get here?” Father Yu and Mother Yu also saw their son. They had been so focused on the surveillance screen that they hadn’t noticed when Yu Minglang had come to stand behind them.

Yu Minglang had rushed over as soon as he got the news, still wearing his training uniform. Upon closer inspection, one could see the un-dried mud on his pant legs, indicating he had taken special leave from some unique training to come here.

“I’ve been here for a while.”

He had arrived just in time to see how Xiao Qian elicited Li Zhen’s emotions.

“Youngest, you know lip reading, right? Hurry up and see what they’re saying!” Mother Yu asked.

Father Li tried to get up again, “I’ll go. Pour all the hatred on me, not on Li Zhen.”

“Sit down!” Yu Minglang used some force, holding Father Li down.

Father Li stared angrily at him, “Old Yu, what are you trying to do?”

“Don’t mess things up. My future daughter-in-law is treating Li Zhen. He said he doesn’t want to live and wants to die. My future daughter-in-law is guiding him to release his negative emotions. This is the professional technique of a psychologist. You can’t find such a good doctor elsewhere.”

“Ah… He doesn’t want to live?” Father Li was devastated, helplessly covering his face with his hands to hide his tears.

“Don’t worry. Look, my future daughter-in-law’s lips curve up slightly, and there’s a confident glint in her eyes. When her chin lifts a little, I’ve observed that whenever she makes these subtle expressions, it means she’s confident in taking control of everything. No one interferes; let her continue talking.”

“Chemotherapy?” Mother Yu asked.

“Not what you think. I’m talking about the talk therapy of a psychologist, simply called talking! Don’t disturb me; I need to find out what they’re saying. What kind of lousy equipment does this hospital have, only providing visuals without sound?”

Reading lips is a very tiring task, and Yu Minglang stared intently.

His beautiful future daughter-in-law! She’s even more beautiful after just a few days apart~

Especially this little dominating expression as she controls everything; he wants to kiss her so badly. But he can’t interrupt his future daughter-in-law’s deception. No, he can’t interfere with her treating people. He can only endure the itch in his heart and stare at the screen.

“What did Xiao Qian say?”

“She’s stimulating Li Zhen, making him express his feelings of despair, and then… Oh, she’s a little alcoholic? She’s been hiding from me that she can drink. Last time, she lied and told me she couldn’t…”

“What?” Mother Yu didn’t hear clearly.

“Don’t talk; I still need to watch.” Yu Minglang decided in his heart to test this little alcoholic’s drinking capacity when he got the chance. That little girl, she drank half a catty of liquor and told people not to let him know!

Hmm, he already knew!

“Don’t stop me! I want to see my son!” A shrill female voice came from outside, and everybody immediately recognized it.

It’s Aunt!

What is she doing here at this time?!
