Quan Zhisui spoke in one breath, leaving Doctor Zhang speechless.
After a long silence, Doctor Zhang said, "Many children with psychological issues I've encountered are actually the least affected in their families. I understand your situation now."
Quan Zhisui nodded and asked, "Can I continue with my howork now?"
"Of course!" Doctor Zhang stood up with a smile. "You must work hard and get into a good university."
Quan Zhisui saw the doctor out, locked the door, and sat back at her desk, lost in thought.
She fiddled with six coins in her hand, creating a faint jingling sound as they clinked together.
As Doctor Zhang left the room, her expression was serious.
The Zuo family's situation was more complicated than any case she had ever diagnosed.
The child wasn’t sick at all—she was bright and clever. It was the family that seed deeply troubled, deliberately sabotaging her future!
Downstairs, Zuo Zhiyu was waiting eagerly.
When he saw the doctor coming down, he imdiately approached and asked, "Well? Is it obvious? Does she have a ntal illness? Mania, right? Does she need to be institutionalized and given electroshock therapy? She should be hospitalized! Imdiately!"
"Your daughter is not ill," Doctor Zhang interrupted his excitent.
Zuo Zhiyu exclaid, "What? How is that possible!"
Doctor Zhang continued, "She’s doing her howork. She loves studying and is emotionally stable. She’s a good kid."
Faced with such a bizarre family and still able to calmly recount her experiences while focusing solely on her studies, Quan Zhisui was clearly a rational and emotionally stable person!
Zuo Zhiyu exploded in rage, shouting, "You quack! I paid a fortune for your diagnosis, and this is all you have to say?! I’ll sue you! I’ll report you!"
Suppressing her frustration, Doctor Zhang chose her words carefully. "Mr. Zuo, many families experience conflicts due to complicated relationships. Between father and daughter—"
"Shut up!" Zuo Zhiyu cut her off, grabbing an ashtray and smashing it on the ground, looking as if he was about to attack her.
Doctor Zhang’s expression darkened. "Mr. Zuo, you might need so psychological counseling yourself."
Zuo Zhiyu would never agree to that. He cursed and shoved the doctor out, even threatening to shut down the hospital.
The commotion downstairs was loud. Zuo Zichen had been watching from the staircase, frowning the entire ti.
From his perspective, his father truly seed like the one with a ntal disorder.
As for his sister…
Zuo Zichen quickly slipped back upstairs and knocked on Quan Zhisui’s door.
She opened it promptly and let him in.
As soon as he entered, Zuo Zichen blurted out, "Sis! Why did Dad bring a doctor to diagnose you? He almost hit the doctor downstairs just now!"
Quan Zhisui replied, "He thinks I have violent tendencies."
Zuo Zichen hesitated, "Well, that’s true, but I think you’re always calm when you hit soone. You don’t say much, but it’s terrifying for ."
To be honest, Quan Zhisui always held back. With over a decade of martial arts training, she could easily kill soone if she wanted to.
Instead, it was the people she hit who tended to freak out—out of fear.
Zuo Zichen thought about it and couldn’t find any evidence that Quan Zhisui was ntally ill.
She seed perfectly healthy.
Quan Zhisui paused for a mont and said, "There was one ti I wasn’t calm."
That was when she hit Wei Shixu.
Zuo Zichen asked, "What do we do now? Dad seems determined to lock you up in a ntal institution."
He was scared. The idea was horrifying.
Quan Zhisui didn’t answer directly. Instead, she suddenly asked, "Where’s your mom?"
Zuo Zichen frowned. "She’s still traveling abroad. I asked her when she’s coming back, and she said soon."
Quan Zhisui nodded. "Hmm."
Zuo Zichen thought for a mont and asked, "Sis, aren’t you scared at all? Dad seems to be targeting you…"
Quan Zhisui looked at him and asked, "If one day, Zuo Zhiyu locks up in a ntal institution and uses his authority as my guardian to persecute , what would you do?"
Zuo Zichen fell silent, his brow furrowed as he thought for a long ti. "I don’t know."
Quan Zhisui pressed further, "Zuo Zichen, when you hired those thugs to attack and my classmates, did you ever think you’d end up in a police station?"
*Thud!*
Zuo Zichen imdiately dropped to his knees, sweating profusely. "No, no, no! Sis, please! I don’t want to go to the police station—it’ll go on my record! I was wrong about that. I didn’t think it would get so serious!"
Quan Zhisui looked down at him. "Good that you realize it."
Zuo Zichen suddenly understood and said earnestly, "I’ll do everything I can to stop Dad! I’ll always stand by your side!"
Quan Zhisui glanced at him and said, "You can leave now. I need to study."
Zuo Zichen slunk out, his respect and fear for Quan Zhisui firmly rooted in his heart.
Quan Zhisui returned to her desk, still playing with the six coins.
*Master, the situation is becoming increasingly dangerous.*
After half a year of tornt, Zuo Zhiyu had finally bared his fangs, resorting to every underhanded tactic to target her.
Even using a ntal institution as a ploy!
It was ti to cast a divination.
This was the first ti she had done so since coming to Liangxi Town.
Quan Zhisui took a deep breath, checked the ti, and tossed the six coins onto the table.
The coins landed in a specific arrangent.
The divination result was: *Dize Lin!*
Quan Zhisui imdiately smiled and picked up her winter break howork to continue.
*There’s a benefactor. No need to worry.*
Not long after she started her howork, her phone lit up with a new ssage.
[Wei Shixu: I’ve found sothing, though it’s not about your mother. It’s a lead from ten years ago, overseas, related to Zuo Zhiyu’s illegitimate child. You might be able to use it.]
Quan Zhisui stared at the ssage for a long ti.
*The benefactor? Wei Shixu?!*
She had heard about the illegitimate child from Fang Yue, but she hadn’t expected Wei Shixu to uncover it directly.
A ten-year-old illegitimate child. How could she use that?
What did it an?
Quan Zhisui initially wanted to et Wei Shixu to discuss it, but she suddenly sensed movent outside her window.
So she sat back at her desk and sent a text.
[Quan Zhisui: I’m being monitored. Let’s talk at school.]
Zuo Zhiyu had gone all out this ti, not only hiring a psychologist but also setting up surveillance and spies outside Quan Zhisui’s window.
There might even be hidden caras in her room.
Her phone lit up again.
[Wei Shixu: Do you need to handle it?]
[Quan Zhisui: No, I’ll move into the dorm next sester.]
She was quick-witted and decisive, adapting to the situation as it unfolded.
However, moving into the dorm required a parent’s signature, and that parent couldn’t be Zuo Zhiyu.
Quan Zhisui twirled her pen, deep in thought.
Soon, she picked up her phone again and sent a ssage to Zuo Zichen.
[Quan Zhisui: Tell your mom to co back soon. If she doesn’t, your dad might divorce her.]
[Zuo Zichen: What?!!]
[Quan Zhisui: Look at your dad’s recent behavior—he’s ignoring you and spoiling his younger son. If your mom doesn’t return, she’ll beco his ex-wife.]
[Zuo Zichen: I’ll call her right away!]
Quan Zhisui put her phone down and went back to her howork.
