If the He family's situation is like this, then Li Wan's situation is even more so.

"Still want to go out? I feel like there's never enough time, and you're still trying to get me to go out for a walk. What are you up to?"

Tang Jinyu pursed her lips, utterly speechless.

Tang Jinyu knew that Cheng Chi wouldn't give her any good advice. She knew that coming here would not only allow her to find out about Li Wan's condition, but also to hear Cheng Chi's unique thought process.

People say that these psychologists can always see through people's hearts.

Cheng Chi's insight was indeed sharp, but he didn't use it in the right place.

All he does is tease her all the time.

"I'm seriously giving you advice, so don't say I'm not helping you. I'm doing this entirely for your own good."

Cheng Chi spread his hands, his face showing an expression of utter injustice.

The acting was incredibly realistic.

If Tang Jinyu hadn't known him for so long, she would have thought she was being deceived.

Do you think I don't know how much sincerity you have?

"They just want to see me make a fool of myself."

Tang Jinyu took a sip of water and felt more and more that she knew it wouldn't be easy from the moment she took on the case.

"I really didn't come here to watch the show."

"I just feel that you shouldn't be suppressing yourself like this."

I still prefer the way you look when you smile.

As Cheng Chi spoke, he flicked his wrist and took a box out of the drawer of his desk.

"The chocolate was a gift from a customer a while ago. I thought you'd like it, so I saved it for you."

"If you don't come today, I'll try to visit you when I have some free time."

"I just don't like sweet things."

Cheng Chi had kept the chocolate in the drawer for several days, sometimes forgetting about it because he was too busy.

When he received a message from Tang Jinyu last night saying that she was coming, he prepared the chocolates.

I was thinking of giving it to her directly when she came.

"It's absolutely true that you're very thoughtful."

Cheng Chi was quite well-prepared; he had everything she needed and truly treated her well.

Among Tang Jinyu's few hobbies, chocolate is definitely one of the top ones.

It's quite remarkable that Cheng Chi can still remember her preferences.

In Tang Jinyu's eyes, not many people could remember her hobbies, and Cheng Chi was one of them.

They didn't meet very often, only contacting each other occasionally, but most of the time they would hang up after a few words.

They didn't say anything particularly useful.

Cheng Chi was the one who comforted her and checked on her mental state.

Cheng Chi was afraid that if she stayed in this kind of repressed environment for too long, she would really get sick.

Fortunately, he studied psychology, so naturally he wanted to take extra care of her.

"I feel much better now that I have chocolate. You don't need to worry about me."

"Don't you know what my mental state is like?"

Tang Jinyu is quite mischievous; when she gets eloquent, even ten Cheng Chis couldn't out-argue her.

Fortunately, they are now able to sit here and chat with him calmly, and it is indeed clear that she is in a pretty good mood.

"I'm not worried about you."

"You're so energetic every day, who can do anything to you?"

From the moment I met her, she was always a whirlwind of activity, always busy with something to do.

Cheng Chi thought that as a psychology major, his major was completely unrelated to Tang Jinyu's, and he often didn't know where to start when he wanted to help.

So when Tang Jinyu called a few days ago, he was quite happy.

Cheng Chi felt a deep sense of accomplishment from being able to help her.

"Senior, you're really starting to worry about me more and more these days. What is it about me that you're not happy with?"

"After all, you're just a young girl."

“I’m really worried about you getting into trouble while you’re out there venturing out into the world.”

Cheng Chi held the cup, his gaze towards Tang Jinyu filled with scrutiny.

“What could possibly happen to me? I’ve endured this for so long. If I can’t even handle something this simple, how am I supposed to survive?”

Tang Jinyu didn't know why Cheng Chi was so worried lately, and he kept giving her more and more advice.

She could almost recite it from memory.

"It's nothing, I just feel like your emotions have been a bit unstable lately."

Cheng Chi was very perceptive and could sense Tang Jinyu's anxiety.

Perhaps it's because her case has reached a critical stage, and she still has no ideas.

So it's normal to be annoyed.

But it would be even more inappropriate to let her lack of ideas affect her original life.

"I just came here to ask you about the situation, so please take a closer look and keep an eye on it for me."

“Their family is not well-off. Her parents struggled to raise their child, and now this has happened.”

"Brother Cheng, do you understand?"

Cheng Chi nodded. "Would you like to have dinner together tonight? If you'd like, I can book a restaurant."

"No need, I need to go home tonight."

She had made an appointment with Tang Yuan long ago; if she didn't show up, she definitely wouldn't get the evidence she wanted from him.

Tang Yuan's methods might not necessarily be used against others; they could also be used to manipulate her.

Ultimately, it's a battle of wits between her and her brother, and she might not necessarily come out on top.

Going home is a challenge for Tang Jinyu.

The moment she sees her brother, it's like they're going to clash.

"Are you going home?"

Cheng Chi, one of the few people who knew Tang Jinyu's family background, found it quite strange to hear her say that.

Hearing her say she's going home is like the sun rising in the west.

"I asked him to do something for me. What if he refuses to help me later if I don't go back?"

So annoying.

She can't even handle things outside, and there's still a troublesome ancestor waiting for her at home.

What kind of mess is this?

Tang Jinyu felt completely overwhelmed and had no idea where to begin.

"Did you tell your brother?"

Tang Jinyu looked at Cheng Chi with a bitter expression, "Don't even mention what I can do. I really have no clue right now. I need his connections to provide me with some clues."

"If we keep running around like headless flies, there's no way we'll end up well."

She knew this wasn't something she could accomplish on her own, so she compromised.

It's better to tell Tang Yuan about this than to figure it out on your own.

Tang Yuan had seen too many people and knew what thoughts were hidden beneath their faces.

It will be easier for her than for me.

Cheng Chi remained silent for a moment, then spoke after a long pause, his tone unusually agreeable: "I don't think there's anything wrong with what you're doing."

“Telling him is definitely much better than going it alone.”

"If you rely on yourself, who knows how long it will take."

"With him around now, you can definitely relax a lot more."

"It seems you're not going down just one path anymore."
