Chapter 38
Jiaqi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, isn't it? If you have anything else, remember to tell me. I'm going to hang up first. I'm so hungry and I haven't eaten yet!"
"Then eat quickly!"
After hanging up the phone, Ke Xin walked to the desk, turned on the music channel, and clicked on her favorite song. Her fingers unconsciously slid across the photo album, which happened to list her memoirs from a year ago. She couldn't help but click on the first photo. On the photo was a sentence she wrote on a piece of paper: If you don't work hard today, you will be a cleaner tomorrow!
These words suddenly brought her back to a year ago, when she was still struggling to make ends meet. Thinking about how she had been dealing with her ex-husband, renting a house and setting up a stall with her children, she didn't expect that a year later, she would live a good life that she had never dared to imagine because of Fu Xuan.
Thinking of Fu Xuan, Ke Xin's eyes were filled with gratitude. It was he who temporarily pulled her out of the abyss. Looking at her current self-media, she calculated that she took on one or two endorsements on average every month, and earned more money than she would have earned in two years if she had money.
Thinking of this, she felt melancholy. After finishing her work, she suddenly received an unfamiliar text message on her mobile phone. She originally thought it was a spam advertisement, but when she was about to delete it, she saw her name. She clicked it and saw the content of the text message: Ke Xin, I know you are doing well now, but you have to remember that you were born in our family and you owe us your whole life. I give you two days to give me one million, otherwise I will ruin your reputation!
She was familiar with the tone and knew it was her so-called biological mother: Chen Min.
When I think of her, her twisted and crazy face, her face screaming hysterically at me, who was only six years old, all kinds of whips and beatings, insults, and the light in the dark cabinet, I can still remember her shouting in my mind: "Go to hell, why don't you go to hell, go to hell, go to hell, go to hell..."
These words kept repeating in her mind again.
The darkness of childhood is the dampness of a lifetime. Even though she is getting better and better now, the thought of her mother who told her to die countless times can instantly pull her from the light into the abyss of darkness.
Ke Xin's breathing suddenly became short and her fingers trembled slightly. She frantically suppressed the fear that kept surging in her mind and whispered to herself, "It's okay. I'm grown up now. I have money now and can stay away from her!"
Whenever she fell into an emotional black hole, she would hold her head and frantically tell herself that everything would be fine and would pass. This distraction accompanied her as she grew up unknowingly. It was precisely because she had a sense of faith that she was able to survive and grow up. Otherwise, given the environment she was in at the time, even if she didn't die, she would definitely have schizophrenia.
Realizing that the power of dark energy was beyond her control, Ke Xin stretched out her trembling hand and called Fu Xuan.
Fu Xuan was in a meeting at the moment. When he suddenly saw Ke Xin's call, he gestured to all the shareholders to stop, and the originally noisy scene immediately quieted down.
"Hey, Fu Xuan, I feel so bad. I'm shaking all over. It might be a somatization attack!"
Ke Xin's voice was trembling in the microphone. Fu Xuan thought that the situation was definitely not to LeTV's advantage.
So he immediately ended the meeting and went home.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Ke Xin collapsed on the ground, trembling all over. "Why did it suddenly become serious?"
Fu Xuan carried Ke Xin to the hospital and went straight through the VIP channel. The doctor quickly handed the test results to Fu Xuan and said, "Mr. Fu, the test results show that this woman has moderate to severe depression, accompanied by mild anxiety!"
Fu Xuan took the test results handed to him by the doctor and took a look at them. He said with a cold expression, "He usually looked happy. How come he is even worse than before?"
The doctor explained: "We have checked her treatment records. The worsening of her condition may be due to the influence of the stimulus. It is also possible that she stopped taking the medication, which may also be the cause of the worsening of the condition!"
As he was speaking, Ke Xin regained consciousness. When she opened her eyes slightly, the smell of disinfectant filled her nose. Then she saw Fu Xuan talking to the doctor.
Fu Xuan glanced over and saw that Ke Xin had woken up, so he immediately walked towards her: "How is it? Does it still hurt now?"
Ke Xin pulled the corner of her lips and said apologetically, "Much better. Sorry to have caused you trouble!"
"What are you thinking about? Take good care of yourself!" Fu Xuan said as he rubbed Ke Xin's head with concern.
Fortunately, this time the depression was not severe, so Fu Xuan took Ke Xin back to the villa to recuperate, and at the same time hired a psychologist to be responsible for Ke Xin's psychological counseling.
Ke Xin had originally resisted taking medicine, but when she heard that a psychologist had been hired, she excitedly asked Fu Xuan, "If we hire a psychologist, does that mean I don't need to take medicine anymore?"
Fu Xuan said solemnly, "You have to cooperate with the medication, it will be faster this way!"
Ke Xin said "ah" with a hint of disappointment.
Fu Xuan pinched Ke Xin's soft and boneless hand and patiently persuaded her, "Don't worry, these medicines are all imported and won't make you fat!"
Ke Xin nodded lightly and said "hmm", then raised her eyes with tears in her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Thank you, Fu Xuan, you are so good to me!"
"Silly girl, just be good!" As the two were talking, the nanny car had already arrived at the parking lot of Xiangshan Villa.
As they got off the car, a woman wearing red high heels, a tight work skirt, and waist-length wavy hair, smiled professionally as she nodded and bowed to Fu Xuan, who was getting off the car, saying, "Hello, Mr. Fu!"
Fu Xuan held Ke Xin's hand and slowly got out of the car. After hearing the sound, he glanced at the woman beside him and said to Ke Xin, "This is the psychotherapist we invited. You can contact her anytime you need anything in the future!"
"Hello, I'm Pepe, your psychotherapist!"
"Hello, my name is Ke Xin!"
The two nodded and smiled, then went up to the second-floor balcony to begin the first course of treatment.
The balcony faces the mountain, with a wide view, occasionally accompanied by the empty calls of birds and the breeze blowing on your face. There is a tatami in the corner with snacks and tea that have been prepared in the middle. It is a good place for face-to-face chat.
The two sat on the ground. They were not familiar with each other at first, but after Pepe listened to Ke Xin's entire growth experience, the two gradually became familiar with each other.
During the two-hour psychological consultation, Pepe pointed out the most easily overlooked and most important point for Kexin, which is that she cannot extricate herself from an inappropriate and toxic relationship.
Ke Xin heard the unfamiliar word for the first time, and with a searching look on her face, she repeated, "Forced withdrawal?"
"Yes, the root cause of your problems is that you spent too long in a toxic environment since childhood, and you can't tell the line between safety and toxicity. Just like your relationship with your ex-husband, you were aware of the problem from the beginning, but you habitually ignored your subconscious cries for help. For example, when you were a child, you had toxic parents, and even after you grew up, you continued to use your hard-earned money to subsidize your family's bottomless pit. This led to numerous difficulties after your divorce. This is the result of not knowing how to forcibly withdraw. People who don't know how to withdraw from toxic relationships will find it difficult to manage relationships and careers!"
Ke Xin nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I used to just go with the flow, and ended up facing a huge uproar and everyone's backstabbing!"
At the end, Peipei couldn't help but hold Kexin's hands, a trace of heartache flashing in his eyes: "But your experience is unimaginable to ordinary people. Now that you can live the life you have now, you have made efforts that ordinary people can hardly achieve. I believe that you can continue to withdraw your expectations of toxic relationships. Only in this way can you get out of it better!"
Ke Xin suddenly understood and nodded.
Pepe finally added: "By the way, remember my formula: detachment plus no resentment, the combination of the two is even more effective!"
"Okay," Ke Xin smiled in relief. Suddenly, a strange text message popped up on her phone. Ke Xin clicked it and saw:
"Don't think that blocking and deleting her will make your mother disappear from the world. I'm telling you, you have to give me one million dollars no matter what. Otherwise, give me back your worthless life!"
It was obviously another text message from Chen Min. Fortunately, after a round of psychological counseling, she learned how to use forced emotional withdrawal and directly put the unfamiliar number into the blacklist.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he persuaded Pepe who was about to leave, "Why don't you stay and have dinner with us? This room is very big, and I often eat a whole table of food by myself. It's just right for us to eat together and have fun!"
Pepe glanced at the expensive delicacies on the table, paused, and a hint of barely perceptible admiration flashed in his eyes: "How can this be so embarrassing!"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's more lively to eat together. We seem to be about the same age, right?" Ke Xin quickly pulled out a stool and said eagerly to Pepe.
Seeing this, Pepe thought that she might come often in the future. She was also a great beauty, and it would be a pleasure to have the honor of having a meal with her, so she didn't hesitate. She smoothed her skirt, sat on the stool and responded, "Yes, I'm thirty years old this year!"
"It just so happens that we are about the same age," Ke Xin said with a smile.
After the two of them finished their meal, Pepe reminded Kexin before leaving: "By the way, remember to take your medicine after dinner!"
"good!"
When Ke Xin was sent to the door, she happened to meet Fu Xuan.
Pepe, who hadn't noticed, turned around after speaking and met Fu Xuan. Pepe's breathing suddenly stopped and he almost hit his chest.
Fu Xuan's gaze stayed on her for only a second before he turned sideways and walked towards Ke Xin. "How is it? Are you feeling better?"
"Then I'll be leaving first!" When Pepe turned around to say goodbye, the warm scene between the two of them made her subconsciously feel sour in her heart.
"Go slowly and be careful!" Realizing that there were outsiders around, Ke Xin quickly pushed away Fu Xuan's intimate hand and said goodbye to Pepe.
When she returned to the living room, Fu Xuan took out a pill from a box and handed it to Ke Xin, saying, "Take the medicine. Don't stop taking it at will in the future!"
Ke Xin took the medicine and glanced at the name on the medicine box. It said Xin Dayue. She couldn't help but think of this time last year. She had just been diagnosed with depression at that time. Looking at the fire bill that cost her 1,500 yuan for the initial diagnosis, she sighed: Depression is really something that poor people can't afford. Even medicines are divided into different levels. Even the most basic medicine seems to cost 500 yuan a box! "
