She never intended to end anything with her own life.
Even in the deepest abyss of suffering, she would live on.
She knew very well that if the truth about her mother's death came out, and if she died as well, her father, Meng Chengli, would definitely not be able to go on living. Then, her brother, Meng Shixu, would be the only one left in the entire Meng family.
Therefore, she readily accepted the assessment result of depression.
Since that's the case, then let's get proper treatment.
Just as her mother said in the dream, she still has so many people who love her, and she can't let them down, nor can she give up on herself.
All she wants now is for the murderer of her mother to receive the punishment he deserves.
Meng Shixu got up and walked to her, gently flicking her forehead. His voice was a little hoarse. "Okay, then get well soon. We'll all be with you."
Yi Jun waited until they sat down before comforting them, saying, "Don't overcomplicate depression. Professor Ou's words were just an analysis of some of Miss Meng's underlying issues."
It's not a personality flaw or a weak will, but a common, real medical condition. Just as a cold causes a fever and runny nose, depression is like the brain catching an emotional "cold," affecting a person's mood, thinking, and energy.
Ou Xiya nodded in agreement, "I want to emphasize the word 'mild.' Ms. Meng's condition has not yet truly reached the moderate stage, and 'mild' means that the current symptoms are clearly present but relatively mild, which is precisely the best window of opportunity."
"The most important thing for family members is to listen and accompany you. We also hope that you will be more understanding and tolerant during this treatment period. This is the greatest support you can give."
Finally, she looked at Meng Sheng and said with a smile, "Ms. Meng, just remember one thing and always tell yourself, 'I am going through a difficult period, and I need to be kind to myself, not harsh on myself.' Think about it, if your friend or family member was going through the pain you are going through right now, would you harshly criticize them? You would definitely comfort and support them, right?"
Meng Sheng was taken aback.
For example, right now, as she is in pain, Meng Shixu and Pei Sui beside her are also in pain because they feel sorry for her and the heavy burden brought by her mother's death.
How could she bear to be harsh on them?
Ou Xiya noticed the subtle change in her expression and smiled gently, her voice still soft, "Miss Meng, do you have any questions or concerns about what I just said? You can speak freely."
Meng Sheng snapped out of her reverie and shook her head. "No, Professor Ou's words just now gave me a lot of inspiration. Thank you, and thank you Consultant Yi as well. Talking with you all made me feel very relaxed and comfortable, and my mood has become much brighter."
Ou Xiya's smile deepened. "Very good, keep it up. I hope that the Miss Meng I meet next week will be a genuinely happy and joyful Miss Meng. Now let's discuss what time and place to hold our meeting next week?"
Meng Sheng didn't hesitate for long. After a brief discussion, they decided to meet at 4 PM next Thursday at Ou Xiya's psychological clinic.
After seeing Ou Xiya and Yi Jun off, she sat down and chatted with Pei Sui and Meng Shixu.
The main goal was to help them relax and not be too tense.
Seeing that she had to comfort them in return, Meng Shixu felt a heavy weight in her heart, but remembering what Yi Yun had said before that their emotions might put pressure on Meng Sheng, she could only suppress these emotions as much as possible.
“Okay, we all know. You and Pei Sui will have dinner tonight, and I'll go to Deqing's place to keep Dad company. Dad is also worried about your ‘cold.’ When you look better tomorrow, call or video chat with Dad so he can feel at ease.”
Meng Sheng smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Meng Shixu then looked at Pei Sui, "Thank you for taking care of Sheng Sheng here. I'll be leaving now. Call me anytime if you need anything."
"It's no trouble, brother, you go ahead." Pei Sui nodded gently.
Meng Shixu raised an eyebrow. In the past few days, he and Pei Sui had basically been speaking their minds directly, so he hadn't paid much attention to how Pei Sui addressed him.
Hearing this title for the first time now gave him a rather subtle feeling.
I can't quite put my finger on it.
I just felt that this guy changed his way of addressing his mother quite naturally. Yesterday I heard him call his uncle and aunt so affectionately.
Thinking of this, he suddenly said, "After a while, once Sheng Sheng and my dad's health has stabilized, let's have a meal together as a family."
Pei Sui was taken aback; this was an unexpected surprise.
A slight smile played on his lips. "Okay."
Watching Meng Shixu's departing figure, Meng Sheng tilted her head and asked, "My brother just said that the two families were having dinner together... is that what I meant?"
Pei Sui looked away from her and asked leisurely, "Hmm? What do you mean by that?"
Meng Sheng glanced at him, knowing he was deliberately teasing her, and started beating around the bush, "What do you think it means?"
"How am I supposed to know what you mean if you don't tell me?"
"That means you don't understand me at all. If you did understand me, you would know what I mean as soon as I nodded."
A simple rhetorical question was enough to knock Pei Sui out, leaving him with a helpless laugh.
Suddenly I realized that girls are quite talented at being "unreasonable," and that makes the point.
He dared not challenge them again, fearing he might end up shooting himself in the foot and really anger them, requiring him to appease them.
He skipped the middle part and directly pulled the person into his arms, coaxing, "I understand, I understand very well, and I'm really looking forward to it."
As he was making peace, he suddenly remembered something and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Harry Winston and the designers from Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels have each submitted two ring design drafts in the past two days. Would you like to take a look? You can choose one and see if there's one you like."
"Huh? A design draft for a ring?" Meng Sheng looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, the day Grandma and my older brother went to Deqing to visit your father, I went back to the hotel and found a designer to design a proposal ring and a wedding ring."
Meng Sheng looked at him speechlessly, then suddenly found it amusing, "You're pretty quick, you found a designer already."
"Yes, I've also had someone design the wedding dress and evening gown, but the designs aren't ready yet; I estimate it'll take another week."
Meng Sheng was speechless, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at his speed, "You... are indeed fast."
It will take about a month for the two families to have dinner together, not to mention that the Pei family can only propose marriage to the Meng family after her father is discharged from the hospital.
"It's alright, these things all take time to make."
"Where are the design drawings? Let me see them."
"The pictures are all saved on the tablet. You've been sitting here for so long, why don't you go back to your room and look at them?"
"good."
Meng Sheng got up and was led back to the room by Pei Sui. The two lay down together on the pillows, and Pei Sui opened the design drafts sent by the designer to show her.
Each page of the design draft contains details and layered analysis, as well as the meaning and concept that the designer wants to express.
