Chapter 477 Family Meeting
Pei Mo Ning gave three options.
The first is to rebuild her sense of self-worth, which requires a lot of deliberate empowerment and validation in her daily life.
The second is to break her container logic. You need to show weakness in front of her appropriately, express your needs, and let her feel the reality and value of being needed.
The third is to find the root cause, what kind of experience led her to such cognition, and to help her touch and reintegrate this part of her memory in an absolutely safe environment.
The last point is that Lu Shiman needs to establish enough trust in Pei Mo Ning.
Lu Yannan listened to Pei Mo Ning's advice in silence. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only a determination to fight to the death: "Okay, Doctor Pei."
Pei Mo Ning looked into his eyes and his heart moved slightly.
She printed out the content and pushed it in front of Lu Yannan: "This is preliminary homework. The core points are three: empowerment, breaking the container logic, and providing absolute security."
"I've listed all the details above. Remember, this won't happen overnight. You may experience setbacks or even resistance, but please persevere."
Lu Yannan nodded solemnly, folded the paper carefully, and put it in the inner pocket of his suit, close to his heart.
He stood up, his tall figure looking somewhat lonely under the soft light: "Thank you, Doctor Pei."
Pei Mo Ning also stood up and walked him to the door.
Just as Lu Yannan was about to open the door, she suddenly spoke softly, "Mr. Lu, please... take care of yourself. The burden on your shoulders is too heavy."
Lu Yannan paused in opening the door, without turning back, and just hummed softly.
He opened the door and strode out.
Pei Mo Ning stood inside the door and watched his figure disappear at the end of the corridor.
After coming out of Pei Mo Ning's psychological treatment center, Lu Yannan called Qin Jiaojiao.
Lu Yannan came out of Pei Mo Ning's treatment center, got into the car, and did not start the engine immediately.
He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and pressed hard on his throbbing temple with his fingertips.
The touch of the printed paper close to his heart felt like a branding iron, burning his heart.
Lu Yannan took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, took out his cell phone and dialed Qin Jiaojiao.
The call was quickly connected, and Qin Jiaojiao's clear, smiling voice came: "Hello? Big brother?"
"Jiaojiao." Lu Yannan tried to keep his voice steady: "Tonight... help me."
"Hmm? Big brother, you say it." Qin Jiaojiao was very straightforward.
"Find a way to ask Manman out." Lu Yannan said succinctly: "Eat out, go shopping, watch a movie, or stay at your house for a night. In short, don't let her go home tonight."
Qin Jiaojiao on the other end of the phone was visibly stunned: "Ah? Big brother...what are you doing? Prepare a surprise for her."
Lu Yannan followed her words: "Well, I guess so. It's inconvenient for her to be here."
"Okay, okay, leave it to me. I'll definitely kidnap her. What time does it start? I can be on time."
"The sooner the better." Lu Yannan paused and added, "Thank you."
"Brother, why are you being so polite to me?" Qin Jiaojiao hung up the phone with a smile.
Lu Yannan put down his phone, was silent for a moment, and quickly operated his fingers on the screen to open a new group chat.
Lu Chixu, Lu Jianheng, Lu Qiyun, Ji Linshen, and Xie Yi were all pulled in.
He simply and crudely changed the group name to: [Homework Group.]
Almost as soon as the group was created, Xie Yi’s avatar popped up.
Xie Yi: [???]
Xie Yi: [Brother, homework? We're over a hundred years old combined and still have homework?]
Lu Yannan ignored his jokes and directly sent in the summary of Pei Mo Ning's diagnosis report and the PDF file that listed three core figures and specific action suggestions.
Lu Yannan: [Look carefully, at 8pm, at the tea room at home, family meeting. Absence will be at your own risk. @Everyone]
Lu Yannan: [@Xie Yi, let’s join in. ]
The group was silent for a few seconds.
Immediately, message alerts began to ring frequently.
Lu Chixu: [Received!]
Lu Jianheng: [Received.]
Lu Qijun: [Received.]
Ji Linshen: [Received, but doesn't Qin Jiaojiao need to attend? ]
Lu Yannan looked at Ji Linshen's question and paused his fingertips.
Lu Yannan: [Not yet, she will be sad.]
Ji Linshen: [Understood.]
Xie Yi seemed to have finally finished reading the document. He typed "Received" with trembling fingers and did not respond.
Lu Yannan didn't reply and turned off the phone screen.
He started the car, and the black car merged into the traffic flow and drove towards the Lu family villa.
......
Eight o'clock in the evening sharp.
Inside the tea room of Lu family villa.
The lights were turned to a soft warm yellow, and outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows was the night view of the backyard.
The air is filled with the rich aroma of top-grade Pu'er.
Lu Yannan sat in the main seat with the homework spread out in front of him.
His expression was stern as he glanced at the people sitting around the tea table.
Lu Chixu frowned and tapped the table with his fingers in annoyance.
Lu Jianheng stared at the document in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
No one present looked relaxed. Even Xie Yi, who was usually eccentric, had a very solemn expression at this moment.
"Have you finished reading it?" Lu Yannan's voice broke the silence, carrying invisible pressure.
Everyone nodded.
Xie Yi couldn't help but speak, his tone anxious: "Brother, this... is it true? Manman, she shouldn't..."
He couldn't continue speaking. It felt like someone was pressing down hard on his chest and it hurt so much.
He treated Lu Shiman like his own sister, both when she was young and when she grew up.
"Really." Lu Yannan answered decisively, and the stock offering fell on the document: "Now is not the time to discuss the truth or falsehood. Doctor Pei has given us the direction. What we need to discuss is how to do it."
His finger tapped the first point on the paper: "Empowerment. How do I rebuild her sense of self-worth? Make her realize her own value."
The tea room fell silent again.
Everyone is thinking.
Lu Jianheng's gaze lingered on the word "empowerment" for a long time, then he slowly raised his head and asked, "How about handing the group over to her for a while?"
He said shockingly, "Let her be the president. Isn't that enough power? Let her know that she has the ability to control such a large business. Her own value is immeasurable."
Besides, it’s okay for him as a second-generation rich man, and his sister is so outstanding, so there will definitely be no problem.
This proposal is like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake.
"no!"
"Absolutely not!"
Two voices sounded almost at the same time, they were Ji Linshen and Lu Yannan.
Both of them thought of the damn itinerary at the same time.
The feat of arranging all the people I was going to meet in a week into 24 hours made my forehead ache.
It’s cruel to think about those old men in their sixties and seventies getting up in the early morning to work.
"The risk is too great. Not to mention whether her current mental state can withstand such pressure..." Ji Linshen paused: "In short, this proposal is not acceptable."
Lu Yannan thought about his schedule at four in the morning, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Second the motion, veto."
