...

Before long, the doctor rushed over with a first aid kit on his back.

Seeing this scene, I was immediately surprised.

Qian Xinman was tied to a stool, looking very agitated, and kept shouting something.

On the sofa, Qian Ruizhi and his wife looked at Qian Xinman with serious expressions and deep concern.

Seeing the doctor arrive, Zhang Shufang felt much relieved, but was still very worried. She quickly stood up and said to the doctor, "Doctor, please take a look at my daughter."

Although the doctor was puzzled, he knew that this was not something he, as a nobody, could concern himself with, so he nodded and walked over to Qian Xinman.

After a brief inspection, just as he was about to untie the ropes binding Qian Xinman for a closer examination, a voice stopped him.

"Don't untie her. She's very emotional right now, and we might lose control of her later," Qian Ruizhi said with a furrowed brow.

He and his wife had been holding onto their daughter together to prevent her from running away in her emotional state.

The two were exhausted and had no other choice but to come up with the idea of ​​tying each other up.

Upon hearing this, the doctor nodded and stopped his actions of untying the ropes.

But looking at Qian Xinman, who was moving around incessantly and completely uncooperative, the doctor frowned.

In this way, he simply couldn't continue the examination.

Suddenly remembering something, he turned to Qian Ruizhi and suggested, "Miss Qian seems to have suffered quite a shock. I'll give her a sedative injection so I can examine her."

Otherwise, given Miss Qian's uncooperative attitude, I really can't do anything about it.

Upon hearing the doctor's words, Qian Ruizhi nodded with a furrowed brow.

Seeing his daughter's emotional state, he understood the doctor's considerations.

Upon receiving the reply, the doctor nodded and turned to begin preparing the sedative in front of him.

...

The doctor walked up to Qian Xinman with the needle in his hand.

At this moment, Qian Xinman was almost possessed by a demon, acting erratically and losing control of her mind.

Completely unaware of what had happened, she was only thinking about finding Zhou Yuxuan and asking him to forgive her.

Seeing Qian Xinman's appearance, the doctor frowned slightly and inserted the needle without hesitation.

Not long after, Qian Xinman fell into a deep sleep, her head too weak to support her weight and tilting to one side.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shufang, who had been observing, rushed over to support her daughter, her eyes filled with anxiety and worry.

He quickly asked, "How is my daughter? Is she alright?"

The doctor shook his head and said calmly, "It's nothing, she was just given a sedative. Now we can untie Miss Qian and help her back to her room for examination."

Zhang Shufang's worried expression eased slightly.

She knew why her daughter was like this, but there was nothing she could do.

Seeing her daughter suffer so much while the culprit was at large, she was filled with rage.

She absolutely cannot let this go.

As a mother, she couldn't turn a blind eye to her daughter's suffering.

She's going to make Zhou Yuxuan pay the price!

But for now, taking care of my daughter is the priority.

Suppressing her hatred, Zhang Shufang turned to Qian Ruizhi and said, "Ruizhi, come and help me!"

Hearing his wife's call, Qian Ruizhi was very unwilling, but thinking of his daughter, he got up to help.

——

Inside the room.

The doctor gave Qian Xinman a full examination, then put away the instruments and stood up.

Seeing this, Zhang Shufang, who was anxiously waiting nearby, quickly asked, "How is my daughter? Is there anything seriously wrong?"

Zhang Shufang was genuinely worried that her daughter wouldn't be able to handle the shock and feared that her daughter would become mentally unstable as a result.

Hearing Zhang Shufang's words, the doctor understood her feelings as a mother and comforted her, "It's nothing serious. Let's go outside and talk. Let Miss Qian get some rest."

Only after receiving the doctor's reply did Zhang Shufang's anxiety gradually subside.

He glanced at his daughter, who was fast asleep on the bed, then nodded to the doctor and left the room together.

In the lobby.

Qian Ruizhi smoked his cigarette in frustration, feeling distressed as he thought about his daughter upstairs.

That was, after all, his daughter whom he had doted on for over twenty years; how could he possibly feel good about it?

When Zhang Shufang came downstairs, she smelled the pungent smell of smoke in the living room and couldn't help but cough a few times.

Upon hearing the noise, Qian Ruizhi instinctively looked towards the stairwell and saw Zhang Shufang and the doctor coming down. He then stubbed out his cigarette.

How is my daughter?

The doctor walked up to Qian Ruizhi, nodded slightly, and then said, "I've examined her, and Ms. Qian's physical condition is fine. However, she seems to have suffered a great deal of emotional distress. I'm not an expert in this area, so it would be best to have a psychologist come and counsel her. Resolving her inner issues is the best solution."

Upon hearing this, Qian Ruizhi and his wife exchanged a glance, then frowned and nodded.

What happened today was indeed a huge shock to my daughter.

His resentment towards the Zhou family grew stronger.

Zhang Shufang grew angrier the more she thought about it, and complained to Qian Ruizhi, "It's all your fault! If you weren't so useless, how could the Zhou family dare to treat my daughter like this? It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

In the end, she couldn't help but cry.

When Qian Ruizhi saw Zhang Shufang crying and sobbing, he felt no pity whatsoever, only disgust and disdain.

However, with the doctor present, and in order to maintain his image as a good man, he had no choice but to pull Zhang Shufang into his arms and let her hit him to vent her emotions.

Seeing this, the doctor wisely picked up the first aid kit and left.

He has done everything he could and should have done; the rest is none of his business.

He's not a psychologist; he can't solve mental illnesses.

Hearing the door close, Qian Ruizhi could no longer hold back.

He shoved Zhang Shufang away, saying unhappily, "Have you made enough trouble? Don't you think I'm annoying enough? Our daughter is still sick upstairs, so don't make things worse."

After pushing Zhang Shufang away, Qian Ruizhi sat down on the sofa next to him.

Where she couldn't see, Qian Ruizhi's eyes were filled with undisguised disgust.

If it weren't for the company, and to avoid being criticized for neglecting his wife who had shared his hardships, he would have divorced her long ago.

His wife is incredibly devoted to him, even when he's not away from her.

Now look what's happened! They eat his food and use his things, but they're complaining that he's useless now.

Qian Ruizhi grew increasingly furious the more he thought about it!

Suddenly, Wanrou came to mind, and his eyes softened with tenderness.

He couldn't stay in this house any longer!

Just as Qian Ruizhi was about to make an excuse to slip away, a voice broke his thoughts.

"Reiz, you actually pushed me away! I'm causing trouble? How did I cause trouble?"

As a mother, I can't bear to see my daughter like this!

If you weren't so useless, how could the Zhou family dare to treat Manman like this? It's all because you're useless.

They used to be second- or third-rate families, but look at the Zhou family now, and then look at the Qian family now. Are they even comparable?

This is why the Zhou family looks down on Manman; they despise her status as unworthy of their family!
