Volume 1 Chapter 676 The Problem of Two Children

She is not afraid as long as her mother is around.

Mr. Ausubel walked over with the questionnaire and sat down opposite them, watching them play the game.

Sheng Wanyan didn't say anything and just watched the two children's every move quietly. Mr. Ausubel watched for a while and talked to her from time to time.

When Gu Jingjing heard Mr. Ausubel talking to Sheng Wanyan and they were having a very pleasant chat, she let down the last bit of her guard.

"You're the mother"

(Are you the child's mother?)

Sheng Wanyan shook her head, and Mr. Ausubel frowned when he heard that she was not Gu Jingjing's mother.

“I’m the baby’s aunt.”

Sheng Wanyan did not hide anything and stated that she was Gu Jingjing's aunt. Mr. Ausubel nodded when he heard it.

“Does the child usually eat a lot”

(Does your child usually eat a lot?)

Sheng Wanyan nodded and told him about Gu Jingjing's daily meals, as well as about her suicide by hunger strike and locking herself in the room.

Mr. Ausubel frowned after hearing this and continued to ask her some questions about Gu Jingjing.

"How is the child feeling these days"

(How is your child feeling recently?)

"The child's daily behavior is normal, but he doesn't like to go out and play, and doesn't like to leave home."

“Sometimes I would just stare at one place and be in a daze.”

“Like looking out the window, looking at the yard, looking at the paintings she was drawing.”

“Her painting”

(Her paintings?)

Sheng Wanyan nodded, and Mr. Ausubel asked her if she could show him some of Gu Jingjing's previous paintings.

Sheng Wanyan nodded, walked over and asked Gu Jingjing in a low voice if she could show her paintings.

Gu Jingjing glanced at Mr. Ausubel, and finally opened her schoolbag and gave her her sketchbook.

Mr. Ausubel watched Gu Jingjing's every move, took Gu Jingjing's sketchbook and read it carefully.

I was a little surprised to see her paintings. After all, this child's paintings are very vivid and every painting is very bright.

But after seeing the later part, Mr. Ausubel found that the painting gradually became dark and struggling.

Painting is the best way to understand a person's emotions, especially children's.

After reading it, Mr. Ausubel returned it to him and asked Gu Jingjing some questions again, even taking advantage of Gu Jingjing's play to get some information out of her.

Mr. Ausubel did not speak Chinese, so he asked Sheng Wanyan to convey the message. As a relative, Sheng Wanyan was more suitable to make the inquiries.

“What’s your favorite thing to do?”

"draw."

Gu Jingjing didn't even think about it. Her favorite thing was painting, and...

"Is Jingjing happy?"

Gu Jingjing paused, but finally nodded. She was naturally happy to be with her sister and third aunt.

"happy."

Mr. Ausubel looked at Gu Jingjing deeply. The child's heart was very fragile right now.

"So does Jingjing prefer to stay with her parents or with her third aunt?"

Mom and Dad... These four words made Gu Jingjing stop painting and lower her head to think.

"I like my current parents and my third aunt."

After hearing this, Sheng Wanyan rubbed her head with heartache. Gu Jingjing continued painting and was unwilling to answer anymore.

Sheng Wanyan conveyed all of this to Mr. Ausubel, who looked at Gu Jingjing thoughtfully.

After Gu Jingjing finished drawing, she started playing in the sandbox, and Yi Yi was always there to play with her.

Gu Jingjing surrounded the sandbox with cards and placed some of her favorite things in the middle. Mr. Ausubel frowned when he saw it.

Finally, when both children had finished their games, Mr. Ausubel came forward to check and looked at both of them.

Especially Gu Jingjing's flowers and the sand table, he looked at them very seriously, with heartache in his eyes.

"There is a game place outside. Let the two children play for a while."

(There is a game area outside. Let the two children play there for a while.)

Mr. Ausubel used an affirmative sentence rather than a question, and he needed to have a good talk with Sheng Wanyan.

Sheng Wanyan nodded, told the two children to go and play, and promised that she would not leave.

The two children agreed one by one, and Gu Jingjing would follow, and Mr. Ausubel asked his secretary to take them out to play.

After the children left, Mr. Ausubel looked deeply at the questionnaire report, Gu Jingjing's paintings and sand table.

"This child is very cheerful and mentally healthy."

Mr. Ausubel pointed at Yi Yi's paintings and her sandbox. Her sandbox was not fenced in at all and was filled with some of the pretend toys that girls liked.

"but......"

Sheng Wanyan just felt relieved when she heard Mr. Ausubel say, "But..."

"Is there something wrong with the child?"

Mr. Ausubel looked at her deeply, and Sheng Wanyan's heart skipped a beat.

“The biggest problem is having no problem.”

Sheng Wanyan looked at Yi Yi's sand table and paintings in disbelief, her eyes full of shock and even a hint of fear.

"This child is very smart. She took advantage of adults' reverse psychology."

"It is precisely because she is smart that you should do better."

"The windows of the house in the painting are closed, and there are cracks on the windows."

Sheng Wanyan didn't expect that while treating Gu Jingjing, her own child would also have psychological problems.

"She is very sensitive and very concerned about the outside world's voices?"

"Yes, it is very sensitive."

Mr. Ausubel looked at her and explained the situation to her bit by bit.

"I'll have her take an intelligence test later."

"She only has a small flaw, which can be mended slowly. You parents need to show more love and care for her."

"Her windows were closed, but her door was not, which meant that she was willing to accept the sounds from outside, but she was also afraid of them."

"If she feels depressed and frustrated, she may easily develop an antisocial personality."

Sheng Wanyan closed her eyes. It was they as parents who overlooked it. If they had discovered it earlier, perhaps this would not have happened.

Mr. Ausubel told her all the questions one by one, and then began to focus on telling her about Gu Jingjing's situation.

Gu Jingjing's situation is not as simple as Yi Yi. Her condition is no longer just depression.

"This child is more than just depressed."

"Can you tell me about her family situation?"

Mr. Ausubel had long seen Gu Jingjing's family problems from her paintings, and Sheng Wanyan did not hide anything and told them all clearly.

After hearing this, Mr. Ausubel was somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Jingjing's biological parents. In Country M, young children are protected and loved by everyone.

How can Chinese parents treat their children like this! The child has psychological problems.

"The child needs psychological treatment, even hypnosis."

"She no longer has any expectations of the world, except for painting."

"She was struggling internally. She wanted others to redeem her, but she couldn't get over the hurdle in her own heart."
