Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss - Chapter 506

Chapter 506: Chapter 480 Seriousness

Father Li refused to let Aunt visit Li Zhen, not just because he disapproved of her actions lately, but also because she tended to make things worse rather than better.

With his son being in such a condition, her visit would not have any positive effect and might even make things worse.

Last night when Aunt forcibly broke in, she argued with Father Li and the resulting commotion further discouraged Li Zhen from wanting to live.

Now hearing that Aunt was back again, Father Li felt both angry and helpless.

Upon seeing this, Yu Minglang immediately withdrew his hand from his uncle and made a gesture of invitation.

Go ahead, hurry up and get rid of that old hag.

Father Li went out, Father Yu and Mother Yu neither wanted to go out, they all wanted to see how Xiao Qian could persuade Li Zhen, but they couldn’t avoid sending a representative.

“You go. As the elder brother, if you don’t go, who will?” Mother Yu pushed Father Yu.

“This is a problem belonging to you ladies. You, as the elder sister, should go like a mother to her family!” Father Yu, finding his own naive sister head-wrecking, looked at her.

The noise started outside.

“How is my son? My son! Mom is here! My poor son!”

After being provoked by Xiao Qian, Aunt became emotionally unstable and was so fixated on her son that she couldn’t even care about her most cherished status.

Father Li’s voice trying to get her to leave was completely suppressed by her.

“Look at my uncle, he is so feeble. It’s not surprising that he can’t control my aunt to see me.” Yu Minglang reluctantly looked at the screen, Qian Bao was really handsome, he didn’t want to miss even a glimpse of her, he had to wrap things up quickly.

When Yu Minglang came out, he saw Aunt grabbing uncle’s hair and refusing to let go. The doctors and nurses nearby didn’t dare to intervene knowing their status.

“Uncle, what kind of a man are you, can’t you toughen up a bit?”

Yu Minglang approached, and seeing him, Aunt became even more agitated, pointing at him, “Yu Minglang! It’s all your fault, you and that damn woman are both no good!”

“Well, we aren’t.” Yu Minglang agreed, and then made a karate chop motion, accurately knocking Aunt unconscious.

“We’re not good people.” Yu Minglang had also learned Xiao Qian’s way of justifying his unreasonable actions by stating I’m not a good person.

Aunt fell to the ground, and Yu Minglang waved his hand. “Get her out, put her in a room, and don’t let her come out and cause trouble. If she becomes rowdy when she wakes up, give her a shot to make her sleep again —– Uncle, you hurry and find someone to take her away, don’t stay in the hospital.”

What’s the use of arguing with such women? Reasoning won’t work in this situation. It’s more convenient to just knock her unconscious and then not worry about her.

Yu Minglang returned to watch his Xiao Mei. However, this time when he glanced at the monitor, Yu Minglang exploded.

“God, what’s wrong!”

“What happened?” Mother Yu didn’t know why Yu Minglang became so excited after just a glance at the screen.

“It’s over, it’s over, our Xiao Mei is becoming a clone. God, she is just too awesome!”

Are you looking for a beating? Can you talk nicely?” Father Yu asked.

In the screen, Li Zhen, looked completely flabbergasted and carried an expression of terror, as if he had just experienced a great shock.

On the other hand, Xiao Qian seemed perfectly composed, as if she had everything under control.

“If I tell you, you might get even more excited than I am. This is what my Xiao Mei said to Li Zhen…”

Unable to contain his own excitement, Yu Minglang fixed his gaze on the screen, and began to translate according to Xiao Qian’s lip movements.

After Father Yu finished listening, he had the exact same reaction as Yu Minglang.

“Oh my…”

Mother Yu usually despised Father Yu’s swearing, thinking it was beneath his dignity. But today was different, Mother Yu was too surprised to even correct him and asked just as astounded.

“Are you serious? Did Xiao Qian really say that? Is she just comforting Li Zhen?”

“Have I ever been the kind of person to speak irresponsibly? Look at that confident expression on her face, she wouldn’t say something like that without at least 200% confidence, would she?”

Yu Minglang felt a deep sense of pride welling up inside him. His Xiao Mei was truly amazing.

Once Xiao Qian had guided Li Zhen to express his emotions, in his moment of tearful breakdown, it only took her one sentence to stabilize him.

“If you really were paralyzed and helpless for the rest of your life and thinking about ending your life, I wouldn’t express any opinions. After all, respect for life not only lies in respecting the choice of life but also respecting everyone’s right to die. Your life and death are in your own hands. Even if your desire for death is greater than your attachment to your family, I would still respect you. But the problem is, you are not really paralyzed. You can still stand up. Why are you so desperate?”

“What… did you say?” Li Zhen thought he had misheard.

“Let me tell you an interesting thing. I like to watch zombie movies. There’s this really hilarious one, full of dark humor. It’s about a guy whose arm got bitten by a zombie. He thought he would get infected right after being bitten, just like in the movies. So, in his pain, he chopped off his own arm. But then, out of nowhere, another zombie appeared and bit his unmentionable area between his two legs. He held his chainsaw with a really awkward look on his face, not knowing whether to chop it off or not… What’s even more awkward is that he only realized after chopping off his arm that the zombie that bit him didn’t carry any infections at all, haha!”

“… what did you just say? Did you say I could still stand up?!” Li Zhen couldn’t even believe what he was hearing.

“Yes, you could stand up. Haven’t you seen the results of your scan? Your condition isn’t as serious as you think. So, if you died over this, you would be just as silly as the man who cut off his own arm only to find out it was unnecessary,” Xiao Qian laughed.

“But my legs have no sensation, the doctor also couldn’t find a response, even when he pricked me with a needle, I… I am really paralyzed, I can’t get up!”

Li Zhen attempted to move, but below his waist, he couldn’t feel anything at all. Xiao Qian’s casual tone, however, inexplicably sparked hope inside him. She had the ability to make people believe.

“That’s normal. Even though your body is fine, your mind is sick.” Xiao Qian pointed to her heart, and Li Zhen imitated her gesture.

“You mean… I have a heart disease?”

“No, you have mental illness. My initial diagnosis is that you suffered from somatic symptom disorder — commonly known as SSD— due to excessive attention on your condition. Although that is not exactly a common saying…”

SSD, otherwise known as somatic symptom disorder, is a theory proposed more than a decade later. It’d be too advanced to propose that now.

Some people call it a psychosomatic illness, it’s just that others don’t show it as obviously as Li Zhen does.

“If you accept treatment according to the methods of a psychologist, your legs would respond in a day at best, and at worst, you would be able to stand up in a month’s time.”

“Are you… teasing me?” Li Zhen’s voice was trembling. It’s weird that his heart, which should be filled with despair, is once again filled with hope. Fear of failing despair made him press his hands against his eyes, not wanting Xiao Qian to see his excited tears.

“Don’t lie to me, Chen Xiaoqian, please don’t lie to me! I can’t take it, I would break down, don’t give me hope when I shouldn’t have any!”

“I, Chen Xiaoqian, always keep my word. If I say I can cure you, then I’ll cure you. If I can’t, I’ll chop off my own legs and give them to you!”
