Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss - Chapter 508
Chapter 508: Chapter 482: Forsaken by Friends and Loved Ones
“If you lay a finger on her, your Li Zhen will be paralyzed for life. Right now, only Xiaoqian in China can treat Li Zhen and make him walk again.”
Yu Minglang’s words startled Xiaoqian. How did he know?
Yu Minglang pointed at his own eyes, and Xiaoqian understood. There must be surveillance equipment–oh no, had her conversation with Li Zhen been heard by everyone?
It was careless of her. If her treatment cases were overheard by outsiders, what would happen? Her current identity was just a student, not the top female psychologist from her past life!
Xiaoqian’s heart was uneasy, but she couldn’t afford to ask too many questions at the moment.
Yu Minglang’s threats to his aunt were clearly very effective.
“What did you say? My son can stand up again?” the aunt asked in amazement.
“He has a psychological disorder. His body is fine, but the only reason he can’t stand up is due to psychological factors.”
Xiaoqian said indifferently to her aunt.
“Is it true, Xiaoqian? Can you really cure him?” Li’s father asked excitedly.
“She’s lying! She’s just a student. She doesn’t know how to treat people, she’s practicing medicine without a license, she’s–” The aunt’s words were cut short as Yu Minglang stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth.
The world was quiet.
“I’m sorry, Auntie. I’ve been working late for several days to get here…I’m too busy, even to wash my handkerchief, so it’s a bit dirty.”
It was more than just a bit dirty, it was filthy! The aunt was so disgusted she couldn’t spit it out.
How could it not be dirty? Even when Yu Minglang was busy, he would still maintain his personal hygiene. This was a deliberate act of rubbing dirt on the handkerchief.
“I can cure him.” Xiaoqian answered Li’s father seriously.
At first, Li’s father was overjoyed, but then he hesitated. She was just a child, could she really handle such a complicated illness?
He was afraid that his expectations would turn into disappointment.
“Xiaoqian is indeed very talented. She once easily identified the problem with my little grandson, and Professor Liu praised her, calling her a rare genius that only appears once in a hundred years.” Mother Yu’s words made Xiaoqian blink.
Did the teacher really praise her like that behind her back? She never expected that.
“Please, Xiaoqian, help treat Li Zhen. Thank you!” Li’s father bowed earnestly to Xiaoqian.
Instead of answering right away, Xiaoqian looked toward her aunt and gestured to Yu Minglang. He, who was acting as her goon, immediately understood and removed the scarf from the aunt’s mouth. She spat out mud in disgust!
“I disagree! She’s practicing medicine without a license, she’s a scammer, a super scammer! We can’t let her treat my son, we’ll go somewhere else! I don’t believe we can’t find a more suitable doctor with money!”
From the beginning, the aunt had an issue with Xiaoqian and didn’t like her. How could she possibly let Xiaoqian treat her son?
“In China, besides me, there is no one else with experience in treating this condition. Disorders related to psychosomatic symptoms are still in a blank state. Auntie, in your work, have you encountered patients who are always uncomfortable despite examinations showing no problems and stubbornly believe they are ill?”
Xiaoqian asked Mother Yu, who nodded immediately.
“Yes, there was an old man who insisted he had bone spurs. I had him undergo a thorough examination and found no issues at all. But he would come in every once in a while, asking for herbal plaster. Even though the plaster is applied externally, it’s not good to use it if you’re not sick. When I refused to prescribe it, he would stop coming, probably going somewhere else.”
Doctors often encounter such patients, not just Mother Yu, but also the eldest sister-in-law, who frequently complain about patients forcing themselves to fit certain diseases they read in newspapers, magazines, or small ads. They claim they are sick and uncomfortable, and don’t believe authoritative medical examinations. If not given medication, they secretly go buy it themselves. Medicines are poisons – if they don’t have a disease, they’ll create one by taking medication unnecessarily.
Just like Xiaoqian said, some children insist they have myopia and need glasses, but eventually turn their normal vision into myopia by wearing them.
“These kinds of patients will become more and more frequent as the spread of information on the internet improves, even accounting for up to 30%. Many medically unexplained illnesses are caused by this phenomenon. Psychologists may easily diagnose it as an anxiety disorder, but that’s not accurate. Although the cause of the disorder is related to psychological stress, Li Zhen’s condition belongs to this category, but is more severe.”
“You mean, he’s faking it?” Li’s father frowned.
Xiaoqian shook her head, “No, just because hospitals can’t find the cause doesn’t mean these people are faking it. Bad psychological states can cause negative physical reactions. This is also the direction of future medical development; people’s psychological state directly affects their physical state. Stressed people with imbalanced hormones can easily get sick. For example, if you tell cancer patients that their condition is deteriorating, many of them will experience it. If you don’t tell them, they can live happily and extend their lives. Future medicine will gradually focus on the unified treatment of the body and mind, also known as holistic medicine.”
Xiaoqian explained the complicated issue in a simple and straightforward way. Even the aunt, who wasn’t particularly intelligent, could understand.
“Can you treat Li Zhen?” Li’s father’s hope was ignited again. Xiaoqian’s words were very persuasive because of her professionalism.
“Auntie doesn’t agree, does she?” Xiaoqian asked instead of answering.
“I, don’t, agree!!!”
The uncle glared at the aunt, wanting to imitate Ming Lang’s actions and stuff her mouth shut!
Xiaoqian shrugged.
“Look, she doesn’t agree, so I won’t force it. Uncle and Aunt, let’s go back.” Xiaoqian said to her parents.
She exchanged a glance with Ming Lang, who had a playful look in his eyes. Xiaoqian shifted her gaze away. He must have seen through her tactic of feigning reluctance.
“Let’s go. Come with me to say goodbye to Li Zhen, then we’ll leave.” Xiaoqian dragged Ming Lang by the hand, pulling him into the hospital room.
Li’s father scolded the aunt with an angry look, “You stay out of the children’s affairs!”
“She’s just a student, Old Li, how could you be fooled by a little girl like that? She’s just trying to deceive you all!”
The aunt’s words irritated Father Yu. He hadn’t settled the previous score with her yet, and she embarrassed herself again!
“What could we possibly have that’s worth your precious Xiaoqian’s deception? You have dirty thoughts, so you see everyone else as dirty too!”
“Brother!!!” The aunt was hurt by her brother’s harsh words.
From childhood till now, when had Father Yu ever spoken to her like that? What kind of enchanting drug had Chen Xiaoqian gotten this family to take that they were all so taken with her?
“You know what you’ve done, and you’ll bear the consequences. You said Xiaoqian is deceiving you, fine! We’ll leave, but don’t bother asking for help later when you can’t find anyone to treat him. I don’t need a sister who is as messed up as you!”
