Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss-Chapter 821 - 795: What to Do When Encountering This Situation
Chapter 821: Chapter 795: What to Do When Encountering This Situation
“Sister-in-law, Brother Fu Gui said she’s not mentally ill, but she’s not normal, right? What do you think is going on in the mind of someone like that? I’m just going to die of anger.”
“Why be angry? I told you before, not all people with psychological problems are oddballs, and not all oddballs have mental illnesses. If you want me to analyze it, your female classmate probably has unhappy family and career life, has no face and no shame, extremely eager for attention but has nothing worthy to show off. So, she made up these stories online. If she continues like this, she won’t be far from having delusions.”
Xiao Qian has long been used to the various oddities in this world. There are too many extraordinary people, so a few more doesn’t matter.
“In the future, the internet will be even more developed than it is now. You will see more people like this, some fabricating pitiful life stories, some portraying themselves as keyboard warriors that save the world, some being so sharp online but utterly useless in reality. The internet will turn many people into something like split personalities, though not quite reaching mental illness.”
Times have changed, making oddities like Boss Qian even more indifferent. Liu Mei could only blame herself for being too naive to believe such stories.
“Am I too stupid? When she called me stupid, I hated myself too.”
“You are just kind-hearted. I appreciate your innocence. Just don’t be too trusting next time,” Fu Gui said gently.
“Brother Fu Gui, you knew it was fake from the beginning, didn’t you?”
“Yeah.”
“Then why did you come with me?”
“If I told you the truth, you would still worry about it. It’s better for you to see it yourself so you won’t be easily fooled next time.”
“Brother Fu Gui, you’re so kind.”
“You’re welcome.”
Boss Qian pulled her eye mask down, refusing to accept this heart-piercing dog food.
This is the county town where Liu Mei’s foster parents live. Fu Gui wanted to visit Liu Mei’s parents, so Xiao Qian came along as well.
Liu Mei’s foster parents are actually her biological aunt and uncle. They have a business in the county town, and they are quite well-off, living in a huge courtyard house with various fruit trees in the yard. Liu Mei spent her childhood here.
Her biological parents are civil servants. When she was born, she couldn’t be taken back home. Fortunately, her foster parents treated her very well. They both went out to greet Liu Mei when she arrived and were particularly pleased to see the imposing Fu Gui.
Fu Gui brought many gifts, and Liu Mei’s foster parents were very hospitable to everyone. Fu Gui originally planned to leave after dinner, but suddenly the weather changed, and there was hail and heavy rain.
“It seems heaven is helping us keep our guests. In this case, you don’t have to go back. Just stay the night at our house. If the weather is good tomorrow, you can go back then,” Liu Mei’s foster mother hadn’t seen her for a long time and wanted her to stay another night.
Anyway, the courtyard house had many rooms.
“Then we won’t hold back,” Fu Gui could see that Liu Mei was reluctant to leave her foster parents, and with the bad weather, they decided to stay for the night.
Xiao Qian wasn’t used to staying at someone else’s house, but under these circumstances, it was inconvenient to go back. There was a mountain road they had to pass on their way here; if there was a mudslide due to the heavy rain, it would be troublesome.
The rain was pouring non-stop. The weather forecast only mentioned light rain. Xiao Qian didn’t worry about anything else, just Yu Minglang who was in the mountains.
He was conducting a new soldier assessment in the mountains. Would there be any danger in this heavy rain?
His mobile phone wasn’t reachable, so she had no idea how he was doing.
Xiao Qian stood by the window, watching the heavy rain outside, feeling extremely anxious.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was going to happen.

At night, Liu Mei’s foster father and elder brother chatted with Fu Gui, while Liu Mei’s foster mother chatted more about family matters with Xiao Qian and Liu Mei.
Technically, Liu Mei’s foster mother was also a relative of Yu Minglang, so she was especially warm towards Xiao Qian. Several women chatted until past 10 pm.
At this moment, the rain stopped for a while, and Liu Mei went to open the window for some fresh air.
It suddenly occurred to Liu Mei’s foster mother.
“Good thing you came back at this time. If you came back a month earlier, it wouldn’t be this quiet. We couldn’t even open the windows at night.”
Liu Mei’s foster mother still felt uneasy when thinking about the events of a month ago.
“What happened a month ago? You didn’t tell me when I called,” Liu Mei didn’t know what had happened.
Xiao Qian silently watched Liu Mei interact with her foster mother. She could see this family treated her very well and how Liu Mei’s open and honest personality came from her foster mother. Although she wasn’t her biological mother, Liu Mei’s character was very similar to hers, due to being raised by her since she was a child. Instead, her biological mother was more cautious and reserved after many years of working in officials positions. Xiao Qian had met her on one occasion and felt Liu Mei seemed to be closer with her foster mother.
“Their son went crazy in the house next to us. He would stand in the yard and scream at half past twelve every night. We didn’t know what he was shouting, but it sounded like a woman’s name.”
“What? Isn’t there a kind elderly couple living next door? Don’t they have two daughters and no son?” Liu Mei remembered that before she left home, there was a nice elderly couple living next door.
“Uncle Liu sold his house. His daughter took the old couple abroad to enjoy their lives. A new family moved in next door. Their son was mentally ill as soon as they moved here. He kept insisting that he was married to a certain actress…”
Liu Mei was dumbfounded. “Is it true? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“You were busy with job hunting and stuff at that time. When I called you, we barely had time to catch up with our own family. There wasn’t any time to talk about this. Later, his family sent him to a mental hospital for treatment. They said he was better, but recently he had a relapse. They sent him to the mental hospital again.”
“That’s really worrying.”
“Isn’t it? When he was sick a while ago, it was terrifying. Every night, he would start screaming precisely at 12:30 am. Your father couldn’t sleep after listening to him scream. We finally had some peace after he was sent for treatment. We’re used to living in this ancestral house. If they didn’t send him away, we would have had to move to our apartment. I’m not used to living upstairs.”
The large courtyard house had been around for a while, and they were more comfortable living there than in an apartment. Liu Mei’s foster mother’s heart ached when she thought about how she almost had to move because of her mentally ill neighbor.
“By the way, Xiao Qian, both you and Fu Gui deal with mentally ill people, right?” Liu Mei’s foster mother asked Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian smiled, “My brother is a forensic psychiatrist, and I am a psychologist.”
“What’s the difference?”
“Simply put, he’s responsible for identifying which criminals are mentally ill, and I provide services to those with some psychological barriers but not severe enough to be considered mentally ill. Of course, occasionally, I also assist psychiatrists in the treatment.”
“So, do you think there are any laws in our country to deal with neighbors like ours? If he gets out of the hospital and starts screaming ‘I love you’ in the courtyard again, what should we do? The police won’t arrest him even if we call them. If we keep protesting, we hurt the neighbor’s feelings.”
