Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss - Chapter 522

Chapter 522: Chapter 496: Upsetting Conceptions

“So, it’s a free market economy, huh…”

Realizing that she had angered the professor, Xiao Qian hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

“I was just joking; how could I charge you? But if I help you out, you can’t refuse to reciprocate.”

“…” What a disrespectful child!

“You should get up every morning and run laps around the sports field with me. You’re too lazy, you know? You’re always busy using your brains and not moving your body. Starting from tomorrow morning, you will run, and after dinner you will take a stroll by the campus lake. Your physical condition is poor, practically frail like Lin Daiyu in her old age.”

“Get out!!!”

Xiao Qian shrugged and left, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

Professor Liu wanted to overhear her convincing Hu Meijing, but the conversation was muffled by the wall.

Looking at the white ceiling, Professor Liu wondered if she was really getting old and if she should hand over the stage to the younger generation. It was fortunate that Xiao Qian had this opportunity, it felt right, but it was undeniable that the kid could understand and apply the knowledge from her notes. It was clear she was gifted and wise. By her performance and grades, Xiao Qian was a true genius.

Rebirth was too bizarre for most people to believe, but what Professor Liu saw with her own eyes, she believed.

The Xiao Qian she saw was a genius, but she didn’t realize the amount of effort Xiao Qian had put into her previous life to become a “genius”. The countless days and nights, the countless books she was punished to write, the countless criticisms and education she received from Professor Liu, the amount of times she was driven to desperation…

Xiao Qian feels under enormous pressure when she thinks about those days.

But all those efforts were not in vain, they were put to use in her rebirth.

When Xiao Qian pushed open the door to Hu Meijing’s room, she couldn’t help but wonder if her teacher would torture her like in her past life. She hoped that her performance would earn her a good impression,

So that the teacher would give her less homework to copy in the future – this was Boss Qian’s beautiful fantasy.

The cruel reality was that since Professor Liu found out Xiao Qian selected this field after reading her notes, she officially regarded Xiao Qian as her apprentice, and to keep this good seedling in her own hands, she started torturing her apprentice in hell mode. But that’s another story.

At that moment, Xiao Qian, who had a beautiful vision for the future, pushed open the door of the ward. The crying inside stopped abruptly.

Hu Meijing turned her head. Seeing a familiar looking young girl with a beauty mark, she stopped crying, looked at Xiao Qian apprehensively, and huddled up against the wall.

“Do I look familiar?”

“Who are you?”

“I’m Chen Xiaoqian. Mei Jing, do you remember me?”

“I don’t remember! Let me go, you have no right to confine me like this. You’re restricting my freedom. Let me go right now!”

Hu Meijing spoke with a heavy nasal voice, her throat becoming hoarse.

Her temper had indeed changed, her previous gentleness was gone. Hu Meijing’s original personality was indeed fierce, her temperament was completely different.

“Once they let you go, what will you do?”

“Let me go, I have to go…” Thinking of the horrifying scenes, Hu Meijing let out a piercing scream.

She remembered the terrible scene when she found Lone Wolf’s body. Xiao Qian didn’t stop her and let her finish screaming before speaking to her.

“You can tell me all about your grievances. It’s okay to want to cry and scream. When you calm down, I can take you out.”

“I want to see Lone Wolf… is he really dead, that couldn’t have been him.”

“I’m sorry, but he’s dead.”

Reality was cruel, Xiao Qian chose to tell her the truth.

Hu Meijing’s vision darkened, and she fainted again.

Chu Xuan and Uncle Liu quickly entered the room. Chu Xuan, looking at his pitiful wife, anxiously questioned Xiao Qian.

“How could you make her faint?”

“I have a serious question for you; do you want to protect the adult or the child?”

“What do you mean?”

“I have two treatment plans. One is conservative treatment to maintain her current state. If you want to protect the child, we can do this, but this method carries a high risk. If she remembers it during pregnancy, the breakdown could be far worse than this time. No one would be able to control it. It’s possible that we would lose both mother and child. Even if they made it through the pregnancy and she gave birth to the child, she may have another episode one day in the future. The result would be the same, and we’d surely lose her then.”

Chu Xuan felt a shock and stepped back.

“I also have another treatment plan – aggressive treatment. This method might cause her mood swings and could result in losing the baby, but its probability that it would keep her safe is very high. If we’re lucky, we can keep the child too. Which plan do you want?”

“Save the adult.” Chu Xuan said without hesitation.

Xiao Qian nodded and pressed the button on the voice recorder in her pocket.

“Why? You are an only child in your family, and you’ve been waiting for this baby for a long time.”

“There is only one Mei Jing, and I want her. Even if we don’t have a child ever, as long as she is there, it’s fine.”

“Do you love her, or her gentle personality? If one day she changed, not the gentle and quiet woman she used to be, would you still love her, still accept her?”

“Is there a difference? She is Mei Jing, no matter what she becomes, she is still Mei Jing. She didn’t leave me when I suffered a manic disorder, so now that she is sick, I won’t abandon her either. Dr. Chen, how much money do you want? I can give you any amount. If it’s not enough, I can sell my house. Please, cure her, even if… one day she no longer recognizes me.”

“Oh?”

“I actually know… she has a man in her heart that she can’t forget. Sometimes, she will say that man’s name in her dreams. I know that man is named Liu Shuang, but I don’t know if he is the Lone Wolf Mei Jing talks about… but that doesn’t matter! She is Mei Jing, I want Mei Jing!”

He knew? This was something even Xiao Qian didn’t expect, and Professor Liu probably didn’t know either.

Professor Liu and Xiao Qian always thought that Chu Xuan was a man who was narrow-minded and liked nitpicking, which was why he was diagnosed with manic disorder.

For this reason, no one had told him about Hu Meijing’s past, lest he overthink it.

But unexpectedly, Chu Xuan already knew!

“No matter who she used to like, she is my wife now. I just want you to cure her, to stop her from harming herself like this. Whether we have a child or not, it doesn’t matter. Even if she forgets me… it’s okay.”

“If she really forgets you, what will you do?”

No one noticed that when Xiao Qian asked this question, Hu Meijing, who was lying on the bed with her eyes tightly closed, unconsciously fluttered her eyelids twice.

“If she forgets, I can make her remember. If she never remembers, I will keep treating her well, so she can accept me again.”

This answer left Xiao Qian, a woman who had seen it all, silent for a long time.

“Okay, I see. You guys go out first. Master, go and untie my teacher. It’s not good for her body to be tied up all the time, she still has errands for you to run.”

“But she scratches people…” Uncle Liu complained.
