Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 489: Chapter 463: Grown Even More Mature

”Chen Xiaoqian, psychology, as a branch of humanities and social sciences, has never reached a consensus on where the destination is after a person dies and settles into dust. I don’t know if there’s really a soul out there, but I firmly believe that if there’s a way to keep me with my son forever, it would be to ensure the people he loved most while alive live peaceful lives. You could say it’s for my son, but mostly it’s to find a way of release for my own heart.”

This is the wisdom spoken by an elder with decades of experience and hardship.

Qian couldn’t fully comprehend Mr. Liu’s feelings at first, but she understood that it’s a mother’s unconditional love for her child.

Even if he’s gone, she wants to make the people he loved happy on his behalf.

Qian previously thought Mr. Liu’s interaction with Hu Meijing was exceptionally cruel, but now she sees that Mr. Liu didn’t find it arduous at all and even enjoyed it.

This deeply touched Qian.

She reflected and realized she was no different from Wang Yafei, believing no one could accomplish certain things, yet a senior calmly achieved them. Moreover, the method of solving the problem was something she had never seen before, leaving her with a complex mix of emotions.

There’s never a permanently correct person; even when one feels they haven’t erred at a particular stage, looking back, it turns out they could have done slightly better.

This lesson impacted Qian profoundly, making her feel it was the most intense stimulation since her rebirth.

”The concept of alternate personality has always been controversial at home and abroad. Awakening memories might trigger the most terrifying things, yet not awakening them means escaping reality in another identity. But one day, it might all come back to the cruel past, Qian, if you encounter such cases when practicing medicine in the future, what would you do?”

Qian remained silent for a long time and finally gave an answer different from her past life.

”Assess the situation and act accordingly; the solution isn’t fixed. Different people make different choices; some are suited to this, others might suit that.”

After contemplating her entire life without clarity, Qian finally understood at this moment.

Mr. Liu nodded in satisfaction and looked at Qian with hopeful eyes.

”It’s great that you’ve grasped this point. Not just this illness, in our field, many issues lack fixed solutions, similar to life where handling problems at different stages requires different approaches. That’s when you need to use this to judge.”

Mr. Liu touched his heart, ”A psychologist is like a mirror, capable of reflecting the root behind the client’s surface. When we’re treating others, aren’t we projecting our own shadows through them?”

”I seem to understand a little...” Qian suddenly thought of Shi Touyu’s soul theory; since returning, she has been treating others, but in this process, she gradually found the soul she lost.

”Take your time comprehending; when you reach my age, you’ll understand everything.”

This was a very meaningful lunch discussion. Qian felt she had matured a bit more,

Someone knocked on the door outside, and Mr. Liu went to open it.

”Zhao?”

Zhao, who is Qian’s class advisor.

”Mr. Liu, there’s something to tell you regarding the student you recommended to me, Chen Xiaoqian. She’s in trouble; someone—”

Zhao’s words were cut short as he spotted Qian sitting on the coffee table in the living room, chopsticks in her mouth.

Qian waved at her, ”Someone reported me for practicing medicine without a license, right?”

Ha, someone’s impatient, huh.

Qian already knew her aunt would bark like a dog, not surprised at all, and even felt a slight sense of amusement watching the drama unfold.

”What’s going on? Come in and speak,” Mr. Liu gestured Zhao into the living room.

Zhao glanced at Qian with difficulty, wondering if it was appropriate to discuss this matter in the presence of the involved party?

”Say whatever you need to say,” Qian spoke bluntly, casually picking up a piece of meat and putting it in her mouth, acting as though nothing was amiss.

”Go ahead; even children are more transparent than you.” Mr. Liu was clearly on Qian’s side.

Qian observed Zhao’s stance; the teacher seemed calm on the surface, but when Mr. Liu was advocating for justice, Zhao’s standing posture and slight body movements indicated an inclination towards Qian’s side.

Qian definitely understood the importance of seeking guidance from a mentor before her wings fully developed. With the support of her teacher, this matter wouldn’t stir up any trouble. Her little aunt would be embarrassed again.

”Someone reported to us that Chen Xiaoqian was practicing medicine without a license. If the school doesn’t provide a reasonable explanation, they’ll report this to relevant departments. This has caused a terrible impact, spreading would harm our school’s reputation. She reported this to the Science College dean, and even he didn’t dare bypass you, wanting to know how you want to handle it—”

”Handle what? Just because she says, is it true? Where’s the evidence?” Mr. Liu replied with a stern face.

”There are photos and witnesses; the other party brought Chen Xiaoqian’s high school class teacher over. Here’s the photo...”

The class advisor handed over the photo, and Qian looked at it with tightly knit brows.

The photo showed the moment she accepted Wang Yafei’s envelope last night. It was shot in sequence, from Wang Yafei handing her the envelope to her opening it.

Just enough to piece together a scene.

Anyone looking at it would know what happened.

Her premonition yesterday was correct; someone was following her.

”The timing was decent, but the angle makes me look ugly, making my legs appear short,” Qian commented objectively.

”Chen Xiaoqian, don’t you realize the seriousness of the problem? This affects our school’s reputation. If we can’t provide a reasonable explanation, we can only expel you accoridng to the school rules—”

”I’d like to see who dares touch her! This is outrageous!” Mr. Liu slammed the table, causing the sweet and sour pork to bounce.

”Mr. Liu, it’s come to this—”

”Come to what? She went for an internship because I sent her; who said it was medical practice? What’s wrong with handling an envelope with money? I saw Li slipping money to the principal, Wu getting out of the car late at night with the vice dean, and you—”

”I didn’t offend you, though!” Zhao was genuinely afraid of Mr. Liu.

Nobody dared to provoke this old lady. In a university environment filled with not very innocent interpersonal relationships, Mr. Liu managed to live with integrity and a noble character. The most fearful aspect of such a person lies in their willingness to pull anyone down despite the consequences. As soon as it’s suspected that Qian might be one of Mr. Liu’s people, the dean dared not act rashly, sending a small pawn to test the waters instead.

Mr. Liu’s stance was firm: whoever dared to lay a finger on Qian, she would squash them, true to her word.
