Han Zhan was a notorious playboy in Beijing's elite circles. Flirting and having fun were his labels, and idleness was his synonym. To rein in his behavior, his parents pressured him to marry.<...
Chapter 162 There is hope for a cure
Han Zhan pretended to know nothing and lowered his head to look at the Band-Aid on her arm.
I looked at it carefully several times.
He subtly acted surprised: "This kid is quite kind?"
Shi Yin nodded and explained, "I originally thought that others would laugh at me when they saw my scars, and would use my shortcomings to ridicule me. But it turns out that I was overthinking everyone. There are still some people in this world who know right from wrong and morality, and wouldn't deliberately mock or prank strangers. There are also some people with pure character who would offer comfort to those who are hurt."
She hid her scars.
Retract yourself into your shell.
It was as if she could deceive herself that those things had never happened, and that she had not suffered from an incurable mental illness. She was afraid of being excluded, subjected to strange looks, insults and ridicule.
To avoid risks.
She hid herself, hiding herself very deeply.
Today, Han Zhan coaxed her into wearing a sleeveless dress, leaving Beishan Villa and getting out of the Porsche. She mustered up a tremendous amount of courage and prepared herself mentally. She was about to give up and return home, but then a servant called, saying the arguments at home were getting worse.
She had no choice but to get off the bus.
Walk to the porridge shop in the alley.
Countless images flashed through Shi Yin's mind: being ignored by her parents at the Shi residence, looked down upon by the servants, being attacked by classmates at school, and being spitted at by the unlucky stars inside and outside the circle—
She was prepared to be humiliated again.
Entering the porridge shop, he didn't see cold eyes, but instead received care and greetings from strangers. Shi Yin held Han Zhan's hand, trying to resolve the conflict between him and the housekeeper, and patiently counseled him: "Don't worry about going out to work. I'll learn about the market conditions of major listed companies in Beijing in the next few days and write a recommendation letter for you. Ah Zhan, family members don't hold grudges overnight. Uncle Han has been with you for so many years, and even if he hasn't made any contributions, he has worked hard for you. Don't be estranged from him because of a few harsh words he said. Make him a cup of tea in the evening and apologize."
"I know." Han Zhan replied.
"How can there be such a broad-minded and understanding person in the world?" Shi Yin praised him, standing on tiptoe and kissing his face. "Drink the Tremella soup while it's hot. I'm going out first."
She coaxed him.
She cupped his face and kissed him again.
Then the figure disappeared into the study.
…
At night.
There are cicadas chirping in the yard on early summer evenings.
Han Zhan was working online. He had been taking care of Shi Yin in the hospital for nearly half a month. Lu Cheng had taken care of all the trivial matters of Shine Group, and there were still some things left that he needed to do personally.
Just then.
The housekeeper knocked on the door.
He walked in with a simple midnight snack, placed it next to the desk, and said, "Sir, Dr. Rong called a few minutes ago to ask about my wife's absence today."
"I'll call him back later and talk to him in person."
"OK."
"Where's Yinyin?"
"Madam is taking Ah Xiu for a walk in the yard. She's probably tending to the roses in the flower garden. Shi's is probably launching a new design, and Madam has been sketching it all afternoon. It looks like it's for a wedding dress."
"Didn't Shi's design work go to Meng Xi?"
Is she doing it herself again?
The cooperation project with Shine has just been put on the agenda, and she has to take care of Shi's work as well. Is she going to work herself to death?
Uncle Han saw his distress and said comfortingly, "Sir, Doctor Rong said that the most worrying thing about Madam's illness is that she has nothing to do. Now she cares about her family, is busy with her career, and even takes care of flowers and plants in her spare time. It's a good sign."
"Today, under your careful guidance, Madam took the step that was in her heart. She walked out of Beishan Villa and into the crowd. This can be considered as overcoming a psychological barrier. One day, Madam will get better."
Han Zhan certainly hopes that she will get better.
He stood up.
Walk to the floor-to-ceiling window.
As she drew aside the curtain, her eyes were immediately reflected in Shi Yin's figure, standing by the distant fountain. She was still wearing the same puffy, short-sleeved dress she'd worn that morning, revealing her slender, white arms. Ah Xiu followed her as she tossed fish food into the pond. The dog tried to take a bite, but she gave it a sidelong glance and it obediently retreated its head.
As early as the day Shi Yin woke up, Han Zhan had a long conversation with Dr. Rong. He read all her medical records and medications, and he knew everything about her past experiences that she had revealed to Dr. Rong.
Dr. Rong said she had a stress disorder.
I dare not look directly at my scars.
All he could do was guide her a little bit, starting with how she dressed. As Uncle Han had said, today was a good start. She went out alone and returned home safely.
The cell phone rang.
Han Zhan withdrew his gaze from his wife, returned to his desk, and answered a call from Lu Cheng. The other party brought good news: "Zhan, Dr. Rong told you last time that the flora replacement surgery is promising!"
This surgery is not widely available.
First, it is very expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.
Second, there are few experienced doctors at home and abroad, and it is difficult to find them even if you have money.
Seeing that Han Zhan was of extraordinary status, Dr. Rong took the initiative to tell him about this operation that only appeared in upper-class circles.
The human microbiome interacts with the central nervous system and immune system. Microbiome transplantation can indirectly regulate neurotransmitter levels and inflammatory responses, thereby improving mood and alleviating depressive symptoms.
Upon hearing the news, Han Zhan sent people to find a doctor.
I searched for many days but found nothing.
"Have you found a doctor?" Han Zhan asked.
"That's not the case, but I'm going back to the Lu residence tonight, and my dad told me there's a case of depression being cured in the circle! It's said that more than 20 years ago, a doctor named Shen Tong came to Beijing and performed a microbial replacement surgery, curing the illness of a high-ranking official! Do you want to go to the Presidential Palace? See if the President can help you do a thorough investigation in the Beijing circle in recognition of his life-saving grace?"
"knew."
The call ended.
The study fell into an eerie silence.
The housekeeper frowned. The name of the doctor mentioned by Master Lu on the phone, "Shen Tong," sounded very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. He racked his brains and thought again and again, and finally an idea flashed -
The butler looked up.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Han Zhan, sitting in his office chair with a sullen expression. At that moment, he knew he had guessed correctly. This Shen Tong had indeed been to Beijing over twenty years ago, performing the microbiota replacement surgery on Ms. Bai. He had also collaborated with another psychiatrist skilled in hypnosis to cure Bai Wanqing's postpartum depression.
Want to know Shen Tong's whereabouts.
I have to go to Han's house.
