The faint smile on Shen Zhiwei’s lips froze, and surprise surged in her smoky eyes.
No one knew Jiang Yanshen’s situation better than her. Without the help of medicine and hypnosis, it was very difficult for him to have a good sleep quality.
The words “sleep until dawn” were a luxury to him.
“You suspect…” She trailed off.
Jiang Yanshen’s expression was calm, his long eyelashes blocking the light in his eyes. His voice was cold. “I need you to help me confirm it.”
Shen Zhiwei took a deep breath and walked to her desk. She picked up the phone and dialed the office line. “No one is allowed to disturb me for an hour.”
After ending the call, she took out a timed alarm clock from the drawer. The needle moved second by second, emitting a mechanical sound.
“Director Jiang, I hope you can cooperate with me.”
Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and glanced at her indifferently. He couldn’t help but nod and lie down…
Shen Zhiwei played soothing music with the remote control and placed the alarm clock on the small table beside her. Her gaze landed on Jiang Yanshen’s handsome face, and her voice was as gentle as a breeze.
“Now, please close your eyes and imagine that you’re in a forest…”
Lin Qingqian looked at Ming Xiao, who was walking towards her, and there was no change in her expression.
Ming Xiao was wearing a bright red coat and her long hair was tied up. She carried a limited edition bag, as if she was not here to offer incense but to walk on the runway.
“Looks like Junior has been having a hard time recently.” Her voice was filled with schadenfreude.
Lin Qingqian curved her lips. “How do you know that I’m not having a good time? Unless… my bad days were arranged by Senior?”
Ming Xiao looked innocent. “I won’t deny that I sent someone to keep an eye on your movements, but you said that I was the one who caused your unhappiness. You have to have evidence, or it’ll be slander.”
Lin Qingqian did not say anything. Her bright eyes probed her extremely hypocritical face, and she was puzzled. Was it really unrelated to her?
Ming Xiao’s red lips curled up slightly as her gaze shifted from her to the
Buddha statue in the hall. “I can swear in front of Buddha that I didn’t do it. Otherwise, I will definitely suffer retribution and go to the eighteenth level of hell after death.”
Lin Qingqian could not see any flaws in her eyes and expression. She was sure that she did not do it. Otherwise, she would not have appeared in front of her so brazenly and made such a vicious oath.
More importantly, Ming Xiao was extremely confident and conceited. If she did it, she would not bother to deny it.
Because there was no evidence, even if she admitted it, there was nothing she could do.
Ming Xiao turned to look at her and chuckled. “I guess you’ve also received the news that S.T. is holding a fashion competition.”
Before Lin Qingqian could say anything, her casual voice sounded in her ears. “Looks like we’re going to be opponents again.”
“We’ve always been opponents, haven’t we?” Lin Qingqian’s gaze was as firm as iron as she looked at her. Her light voice was mixed with mockery. “I just don’t Imow if you dare to compete with me openly this time.”
Previously, there was also a competition in school. In order to stop her, Ming Xiao either destroyed her designs or looked for a scapegoat to hinder her. She naa never competea witn ner openly!
Ming Xiao sneered. “Lin Qingqian, do you know what I hate about you the most?”
Lin Qingqian’s expression was calm. “I don’t want to know.”
Ming Xiao seemed not to have heard her and gritted her teeth. “I hate it when you look so weak and aloof from worldly affairs. You’re clearly a wild girl from the countryside. You want a sparrow to fly up a branch and become a phoenix? Why are you pretending to be noble!”
Deep down, she thought that people like Lin Qingqian who came from poor family backgrounds all wanted to climb up the social ladder, but Lin Qingqian still had to put on an aloof attitude as if she did not want that.
Lin Qingqian disdainfully explained to her, “Buddha says that what a person has in their heart will be reflected in their eyes. Senior, if you think like this, could it be that you want to advance to the next level?”
“I’m not like them to believe you!” Ming Xiao retracted her smile and pursed her cherry-red lips. “Lin Qingqian, this time, I’ll compete with you openly. I’ll let you Imow that a sparrow is a sparrow, and a phoenix is a phoenix.”
“Whether it’s the champion of S.T. or Jiang Yanshen, you’ll lose them because they’re not something someone like you can have!”
Her light gaze landed on Lin Qingqian’s face and she slowly squeezed out three words. “You’re. Not. Worthy.”
Lin Qingqian’s brows and eyes were calm as she said lightly, “These three words were also what I wanted to say to you.”
“Then let’s wait and see.” The smile on Ming Xiao’s lips darkened as her cold gaze swept past her face. She turned around and left.
She had no intention of going in to pray.
Lin Qingqian watched her leave calmly and realized that she had specially come to challenge her.
That’s right. How could a person like Ming Xiao believe in Buddha? Ming Yuan would satisfy everything she asked for.
There was no need for the gods, and she disdained to beg the gods.
Suisui and Su Ying returned from the washroom and saw her looking somewhere.
“That seems to be that little b*tch, Ming Xiao. Why is she here?” Suisui asked curiously.
Lin Qingqian retracted her gaze. “To send me a challenge.”
“What?” Suisui looked surprised.
“She should be participating in S.T.’s fashion design competition!” She explained concisely.
“F*ck! ” Suisui immediately gritted her teeth angrily and said, “What nonsense is she participating in! Is she worthy? She only knows how to bribe and play underhanded tricks. She’s simply a disgrace to the design world! ”
Seeing her indignant look, Lin Qingqian couldn’t help but smile. “You’re already a mother. Watch your prenatal education.”
Suisui reacted and immediately touched her stomach, which was not too obvious. “Baby, be good. You can’t tell others what I said just now, but it’s fine for bad people like that.”
Lin Qingqian: ‘
Before this child was born, she was already worried about what Suisui would teach her in the future!
If Lu Qinshang taught the child… Forget it, he seemed even more unreliable.
Su Ying said worriedly, “Sister Qingqian, could she be up to some dirty tricks to make you unable to participate in the competition!”
When Lin Qingqian saw that one of them was even angrier than her and the other was even more worried than her, her heart warmed.
“Don’t worry, S.T.’s fashion design competition is global. All the judges are very professional. It’s not something she can affect with money.”
If it was really that easy, Ming Xiao would have long bought a championship title to package herself.
At the psychiatric clinic.
Jiang Yanshen slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Zhiwei, his eyes filled with questions.
Shen Zhiwei looked at him with a complicated gaze and did not speak for a long time.
“What’s wrong?” His thin lips twitched slightly. He had never seen Shen Zhiwei reveal such an unconfident expression. His eyelids twitched a few times. He had a bad feeling.
“Did you see other psychiatrists?” Shen Zhiwei hesitated and said.
Jiang Yanshen was stunned, and a word escaped his thin lips. “No.”
“But I can’t hypnotize you, nor can I communicate with you.” Shen Zhiwei’s voice was slightly tense, and there was a hint of coldness in her voice. “I can feel that it’s not you who’s resisting, but someone hypnotized a deeper layer of your consciousness and installed a layer in your subconscious that rejects the hypnosis of other psychiatrists.”
Jiang Yanshen’s throat tightened, and his eyes darkened like an abyss.
Shen Zhi rubbed the space between her eyebrows. “I’ve already warned you that you can’t stop taking the medicine in your condition!”
Jiang Yanshen sat up and didn’t say anything. He lowered his eyes. She didn’t know what he was thinking.
“I’ll prescribe you some medicine. Perhaps you can…”
Before Shen Zhiwei could finish speaking, she was interrupted. “It’s too late.” “What?” Puzzlement appeared in her smoky eyes. What was too late?
Jiang Yanshen did not answer her question and only repeated in a tense voice, “It’s too late.”
“If there’s drug control, with your willpower and my help, he’s only a child with a nine-year-old intellect. Perhaps…”
“Doctor Shen…” Jiang Yanshen interrupted her again, his dark eyes as thick as ink filled with determination and pleading. “Help me keep this a secret. Don’t let anyone know, especially Qianqian.”
Shen Zhiwei understood what he meant. As a psychiatrist, she had the obligation to protect the secrecy of his condition, but—
“How long do you think you can hide it? What if one day you completely…”
She paused and swallowed the rest of her words. She felt that these words were too cruel to him.
She didn’t finish the rest of her sentence, and he knew what it was. His expression was indifferent, and his thin lips moved. “She’ll know, but not now. Give me a little more time.”
Shen Zhiwei knew that there was a stubborn side to his personality that no one could shake. She stopped persuading him and only sighed heavily.
Jiang Yanshen stood up and took off his black coat from the hanger to put it on. When he placed his fingers in his pocket, he touched something cold and hard.
He took out a coin. It was the lucky coin he had obtained from eating dumplings when he went to Yu Mountain.
Unfortunately, this year’s lucky coin was not earned by him. It was Lu Yuan, that kid who benefited.
After gently stroking the coin with his fingertips for a moment, he put it back into his pocket and walked out of the office.
Lu Yuan was guarding the door. When he saw him come out, he hurriedly went forward and handed back his cell phone. “Director Jiang.”
“Qianqian called?” Jiang Yanshen took the cell phone and walked towards the elevator.
Lu Yuan followed behind and replied respectfully, “No, but the bodyguard called to say that Madam met with Miss Ming.”
The figure that walked to the elevator suddenly paused and turned to look at him. “Ming Xiao?”
Lu Yuan nodded. “Ming Yuan’s daughter.”
Jiang Yanshen remembered the name Ming Xiao because of her previous bullying of Qianqian. He originally thought that she would restrain herself after he warned Ming Yuan, but he didn’t expect…
The elevator door slowly opened and Jiang Yanshen walked in. Lu Yuan pressed the button for the first floor. Just as he retracted his finger, he heard Jiang Yanshen’s cold voice say, “Go and investigate who Ming Yuan has been in contact with recently.”
Lu Yuan did not understand what he wanted to do and nodded in agreement.
In the evening, Jiang Yanshen asked Lu Yuan to push aside the rest of his work and pick Lin Qingqian up from work.
The two of them returned to Begonia Courtyard together. Just as the car drove to the door, Lin Qingqian saw the person standing at the door and subconsciously frowned.
What was she doing here?
Jiang Yanshen acutely sensed the slight change in her expression. When he saw that figure from the corner of his eye, his black eyes surged with undisguised disgust.
Li Guilan’s legs were already sore from standing. When she saw Jiang Yanshen’s car stop, she hurriedly leaned over. “Yanshen..
Her affectionate tone made people who did not know better think that their mother-son relationship was very good..
