Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss-Chapter 700 - 674: Guilty Conscience or Hidden Meanings?
Chapter 700 -674: Guilty Conscience or Hidden Meanings?
Liu Mei prepared a pot of tea as instructed by Xiaoqian. From today on, Ye Xiaoyu was no longer at home, and there was no one to help with the housework, so Liu Mei and Xiaoqian had to do it together.
Xiaoqian divided the chrysanthemum tea into two cups and began to formally brainwash Liu Mei.
“I remember you really like chrysanthemum tea, right?”
“Drinking some in the summer helps to reduce liver fire, and it’s also good for the eyes and lungs.”
“Very well, remember the taste of this tea today, as it will have a different meaning for you in the future.” This was the beginning of brainwashing suggestion.
“I just remember you wanting to use a microwave to make tea…” This was something she could remember for a lifetime.
Xiaoqian cleared her throat, she also really wanted to know whose genes she inherited with her lack of kitchen skills. It seemed that no one in her family was like her. Even Da Long had mastered the art of cooking instant noodles and could even add eggs and vegetables.
Xiaoqian thought she shouldn’t mention cooking, she had to avoid talking about that.
“Meizi, I want to share a patient’s medical record with you. She was a postpartum depression patient, and the roots of this were her Phoenix Man husband and mother-in-law.”
“What is a Phoenix Man?”
The term was not very popular at that time.
“A Phoenix Man refers to those men who, after enduring many hardships, remain and live in big cities despite being from poor backgrounds. In the eyes of their neighbors, they are golden phoenixes who have flown out of chicken coops. They are the hope their families have put all their efforts into cultivating. They are smart, hardworking, know what they want, but are too utilitarian. Not every man from the countryside is a Phoenix Man, and there are also Phoenix Men in the city. Poverty-stricken families may make a certain type of person into a so-called Phoenix Man, but it’s a matter of probability.”
“Huh? What you’re describing sounds a lot like Ma Lu!”
Ma Lu was Liu Mei’s recently reconciled boyfriend.
Xiaoqian gave a sly smile, “What I just said is their good side. Now, let me tell you about the negatives. The patient was a middle-class city woman with a good family background, similar to yours. Both her parents were university professors. She fell for the Phoenix Man’s determination and hard work, and married him against her family’s objection. What happened later was all foreshadowing for her postpartum depression… ”
Xiaoqian began to brainwash Liu Mei through storytelling, talking about stinginess, selfishness, excessive importance of money, never-ending support for the whole family, and excessive sensitivity, and high self-esteem personality…
Listening to all this, Liu Mei’s face turned pale.
The man in the case Xiaoqian picked made Liu Mei think that she was talking about Ma Lu. It was too similar!
Whether it was overly sensitive self-esteem, male chauvinism, or obsession and stinginess with money, how come they were so similar? If Liu Mei hadn’t previously mentioned her boyfriend to Xiaoqian, she would have believed that Xiaoqian was talking about her own boyfriend!
Xiaoqian saw Liu Mei’s reaction and made a victorious gesture in her heart. Her first step as a psychology PhD in confronting the psychic old woman was successful. Chen Xiaoqian could do whatever the psychic old woman could do. There were only so many personality types, and based on Liu Mei’s brief introduction of her boyfriend, Xiaoqian basically knew what kind of person he was. A random real-life case easily intimidated Liu Mei.
“What… what happened later?” Liu Mei was sweating profusely from Xiaoqian’s deception. Xiaoqian pushed the chrysanthemum tea towards her, “Drink some water first.”
“Later, her mother-in-law came to the city, and due to their different lifestyles, conflicts arose between them. The man was always scheming to take over the house bought by his wife. In the end, after the child was born, the woman developed postpartum depression and came to me for treatment. Unfortunately, I was out of town, and she saw another doctor instead. The treatment was not effective, and she eventually committed suicide by jumping off a building. I feel regretful about this. Maybe if I was there, things would have been better.”
The later generations’ psychological practice was very chaotic. Many people saw the huge profits and wanted to get into the industry without properly training. Some of them didn’t have a professional background and had taken short-term training courses at random. They thought they could be doctors after reading a few inspiring books. And even bundled psychological medical training with things like nanny training, causing many patients to be delayed. Many patients did not encounter medical practitioners like Xiaoqian, only those fake doctors who did short-term training without professional advice, causing patients to think that all psychological doctors are talking nonsense and not solving problems.
“Ah…” Liu Mei heard this horrifying ending, and the image that appeared in her mind was her own suicide. The sense of immersion was too strong.
“Come, Meizi, have some more. Remember the taste of this chrysanthemum tea.” Xiaoqian saw that she had listened and was satisfied to top up Liu Mei’s tea.

Bring it on, calculating Phoenix Men trying to manipulate other people’s daughters. Xiaoqian had already prepared the antidote for Liu Mei, and she wasn’t afraid of these people causing any trouble here!
The next day.
“Qian’er, why did you come alone today?” Shuixian and Xiaoqian sat in a private restaurant, with Xiaoqian treating her today.
“Meizi told me to go out and take care of some business. She and Qiuqiu saw a venue and thought it was good, so I told them to go and discuss the price. Come, try the dishes here. Meizi recommended this place to me. This girl is very picky. If she says it’s good, it’s definitely good.”
“They went to discuss the price themselves? Don’t you need to go with them?” Shuixian had been here for almost a week, eating and playing every day. Xiaoqian would accompany her whenever she had time, and if not, Shuixian would go swimming or work out on her own.
The original plan was to stay for two days and then go back, but for some reason, her father called and asked her to spend more time with Xiaoqian here, so Shuixian treated it as a vacation.
And the mastermind behind Tang Daye’s call to Shuixian was Xiaoqian.
“The girl is grown up; it’s time for her to strengthen herself.” Xiaoqian cast a meaning glance at Old Mai, who was standing behind Shuixian, and a chill ran down his back.
He always felt that Chen Xiaoqian was impossibly deep, and every sentence she said seemed to carry many layers of meaning.
Was this sentence meant for those two friends of hers or for Lily Tang? Was his cover blown or not?
Over the past few days, Old Mai had been pondering this question often.
Xiaoqian let Yu Minglang knock out Old Mai, but didn’t give Old Mai a break. This feeling was like killing someone with a blunt knife and slowly torturing him, torturing Old Mai until he couldn’t take it anymore. Was he just feeling guilty about being a thief, or was Chen Xiaoqian’s words actually hinting at something?
Old Mai, who was lost in thought, looked up at Xiaoqian’s mocking gaze and could only shift his eyes away from her.
She was the first woman he had ever encountered that he couldn’t see through.
Xiaoqian enjoyed the thrill of playing cat and mouse games. Being able to toy with a future big shot and enjoy the entire process of torturing his heart made Boss Qian very satisfied.
“Qian’er, has the suspect who threatened women been caught recently?” Shuixian asked Xiaoqian.
“The information provided by my Meizi is very effective. The police have already captured the suspect based on the sketch. That guy thought he hid himself well, but he couldn’t escape our eyes.”
And the last sentence was also spoken to Old Mai, who again felt his stomach tighten, and the little voice inside him roared, “I’m almost driven mad by you!” Was it his guilty conscience, or was Chen Xiaoqian’s words actually hinting at something?
