Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 835: Chapter 809: So Many People Are Losing Sleep Tonight

”I just feel like I’m quite patriotic myself, and maybe I just can’t get along with these traitors. I mean, why can’t such a vast and resource-rich country accommodate him? He just has to run abroad. Such people, honestly, their thought is incorrect—no matter how high their academic standing is, I can’t respect them.”

At that moment, Qian’s tone was as if Mr. Yu was speaking through her. No wonder she’s the daughter-in-law of the Yu Family; spending a long time with them, she’s even picked up Mr. Yu’s attitude.

”Mr. Qio is quite patriotic. You should understand why he went abroad during those special times. As for claiming he’s unpatriotic, that’s even more absurd. Do you know how many autistic children Mr. Qio has funded domestically? If we calculate at a rate of two children per year, the number of children he has supported, their age combined, is much older than you!”

It’s rare for Qian to be rendered speechless, but right now she seems at a loss for words.

How did things end up this way? After all the effort she put into distancing herself from this guy, how come he’s still chasing after her?

”Teacher, why did he choose the Central Hospital as the meeting place? Does he have a particular fondness for uniforms? Especially young nurses—I mean, given how I look, I wouldn’t feel safe there. What if that old man takes a liking to me—”

Qian narrowly dodged the medical record thrown at her by Mr. Liu, just a bit slower and she’d have been struck! Close call!

”Chen Xiaoqian, if you keep running your mouth, I’ll smack you! Don’t think I can’t tell that you don’t want to meet Mr. Qio! The director of the psychiatric hospital already informed me about your behavior!”

Mr. Liu truly couldn’t listen any longer, what kind of nonsense is this, discussing uniforms?

If no one intervenes soon, this girl might come up with even more ridiculous excuses.

”What behavior? I put in my utmost effort to complete the tasks you assigned me.” Qian stubbornly refused to admit anything.

”Don’t give me any of that nonsense! Mr. Qio has been invited to a conference here, and coincidentally, the Central Hospital has introduced psychologists to aid the doctors’ treatment. Aren’t the freshmen you’re mentoring doing internships there too? Tomorrow, just make sure you go there obediently. If you dare to pull any stunts...”

Mr. Liu gave a bloodthirsty grin, his white teeth shining menacingly in the sunlight.

Qian haphazardly collapsed onto the sofa, ”I’ve already been pinched like this, and you’re still sending me out to receive guests? You’re not my real teacher...”

Receive guests? Mr. Liu’s mouth twitched; this young girl made it sound as if she was being forced into prostitution by her mentor.

”Even if your entire body is in pain, you better show up at the Central Hospital lecture hall on time. If you’re absent, bring your head to see me. How can we miss such a great opportunity?”

”The country’s little flower is being ruined like this. Teacher, haven’t you recently read about those shady mentors targeting female students? Look at me, a fair little girl, and you insist on partnering me with an old man. What if he takes advantage of my absence when Xiaoqiang’s not home and calls me into a dark room to do something improper?”

”You pretty much learned nothing good with Yu Gangdan! A good graduate student, instead of diligently studying academics, keeps watching all kinds of nonsensical stuff, talking about dark rooms and indecent acts?” Mr. Liu noticed that her student’s moral standards were gone.

She used to be quite the cool, aloof young lady with a bit of an intellectual’s pride. Ever since she got involved with Yu Gangdan, she went running down the path of no good, only she could think of something, nothing that this girl couldn’t speak out!

Mr. Liu completely shut down all of Qian’s excuses.

”What you’re imagining won’t happen at all. Even if Mr. Qio has the guts, he wouldn’t dare touch you. With the way Yu Gangdan protects what’s his, do you think Mr. Qio would dare lay a hand on you? Tomorrow, whether you want to or not, you’re going. To prevent any mishaps, I’ll personally oversee you going.”

That’s it. Qian collapsed onto the sofa feigning death. She just wanted to stay in Lishi and have a baby with her man, why all these bothersome matters?

”Go early tomorrow. Mr. Qio will hold a public psychology class focusing on terminal and AIDS patients in the Central Hospital treatment room. You make sure to listen, and after he finishes the lecture, have a good chat with him, okay?”

”Got it...” Qian replied weakly.

”Just by listening to one of Mr. Qio’s lectures, you’ll see how capable he is. Spare me the trouble, okay? I’m only mentoring a few of you, and none of you are worry-free...” Mr. Liu complained.

”Having a teacher like you makes me rather hopeless too...”

”What did you say?!”

”Ahem, nothing, teacher. I said you get more charming as you age, earning you the nickname as a middle-aged bloom!”

”Stop with the smooth talk, and if you’re not there tomorrow, you better be prepared!”

Sigh... Qian sighed deeply, about to meet that guy again—it’s really such a headache. As soon as she hears Mr. Qio’s name, she gets inexplicably anxious. Ironically, the topic of his lecture tomorrow is the impact of a good mindset on health.

A healthy mindset indeed allows for a higher quality of life, extending the lives of cancer and AIDS patients, diseases that are incurable, by strengthening the inner self. This has been a hot research topic in psychology in recent years. Qian has quite a bit of involvement in this area; rich people are particularly afraid of death, and she had handled quite a few such cases in her past.

Regarding what Mr. Liu said about respecting Mr. Qio after attending one of his lectures, Qian definitely doesn’t buy it.

How good would the lecture need to be to captivate someone like herself, already seasoned in so many battles, navigating through chaos with ease?

Due to Mr. Liu’s visit, Qian found herself struggling with insomnia. She turned on her voice recorder, playing white noise to help herself sleep, all the while thinking about how she should handle tomorrow.

Meanwhile, sharing the same sleepless predicament at his father’s house, Zheng Xu found himself in similar circumstances, pulling out a recording Qian had sent him online, hoping that her hypnosis would help him sleep.

Turns out...

”I’m Hypnotist Akateris. Now I’ll guide you into a refined sleep. Please lie flat, choosing a comfortable position as much as possible...”

This voice startled Zheng Xu, making him bolt upright from the bed, his eye mask falling off in shock!

How can it be her?!

Isn’t this the voice of that blonde?!

Previously, Zheng Xu mentioned his insomnia and wanted Qian to record a hypnosis session for him, but Qian had a sore throat.

Zheng Xu only heard her say she would find a disciple to do it, but how come it was this blonde?

Upon hearing her voice, Zheng Xu reflexively recalled the nickname she called him by that drove him nuts—

Who could possibly sleep now!

He quickly turned off the audio, but Akateris’ hypnotic voice seemed to have etched itself into the depths of his memory.

Zheng Xu kicked the table, mentally cursing Chen Xiaoqian multiple times. This woman’s affinity for the opposite sex seems devoid of humanity. She has so many psychology experts around her, couldn’t pick anyone else but the blonde?!

His mind was filled with that blonde calling him ”Mr. Hemorrhoid” for the entire night, another sleepless night.
