Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 644: Chapter 618: Gangdan’s Absence is Just Right (Thanks to kateliu for the Silver Reward +7 Updates)

With a full-time worker now at home, landlady Chen Xiaoqian’s quality of life was significantly improved.

After ordering her new worker to buy materials, Chen Xiaoqian set up a huge sand table on the floor of her home. The floor was padded with soft cushions and she and Ye Xiaowei sat cross-legged, playing sand table games.

Ye Xiaoyu tied a headscarf around her head and put on an apron, looking like a wronged daughter-in-law as she wiped the furniture while casting a sidelong glance at Xiao Qian.

Could playing with sand really cure illness? Was she just being fooled?

“Is it ready? Let Sister Meiwei take a look…” Xiao Qian leaned in toward Weiwei to examine the shapes she had created from the sand. Xiao Qian’s expression was friendly and approachable, but she couldn’t help but gasp inwardly.

This child’s problem is so severe already…

Sandplay Therapy could be used for psychological treatment and diagnosis. Not many people in the domestic field mastered this technique, but Xiao Qian’s stepbrother Liao Fugui was very good at it. In her previous life, Xiao Qian had a bit of a foundation and further refined her skills through exchanges with her stepbrother. Liao Fugui had previously used this technique to test Da Long. Not only could it be used for diagnosing and treating depression, but it also had great therapeutic effects for Ye Xiaoyu’s current boyfriend’s Borderline Personality Disorder.

“Sister Meiwei, why did you let me heap this?” Weiwei asked.

When she learned that her idol, Sister Meiwei, was a psychologist, she felt a moment of resistance in her heart. She didn’t want to see the doctor and didn’t like the cold face the doctor wore when asking her questions.

But Sister Meiwei didn’t treat her like that. Instead, she just let her play games, eat fruits, and the like.

“This is a sand table game. You follow my instructions to arrange the items, and then I can enter your world. It’s especially good for those who have difficulty expressing themselves verbally. – Ye Xiaoyu, do you want to try?”

“No!” Ye Xiaoyu now had a little understanding of Xiao Qian and felt that Meiwei was a beautiful serpent woman who would casually set traps for people with a smile.

That afternoon, Xiaoqian showed her a picture when they watched videos and asked Ye Xiaoyu what she saw. Ye Xiaoyu told her what she saw, and then Xiao Qian leaned in like a little fox and whispered in her ear, asking her if Li Jia had any problems down there and if they should give Comrade Xiao Yu a helping hand with a cucumber?

Ye Xiaoyu’s mind was filled with “Damn!” at that time. Could this really be figured out?

These psychologists were terrifying. they could really see a lot of things from some unheard-of perspectives.

In fact, Ye Xiaoyu was fooled by Xiao Qian. The picture she showed her was meant to test emotions, and it had nothing to do with her boyfriend’s functionality. It was only after Xiao Qian saw some invigorating pills in Ye Xiaoyu’s home that she took the opportunity to bluff her completely and subdue Ye Xiaoyu with a swindler’s attitude.

After briefly treating Weiwei with sandplay therapy and understanding her condition, Xiao Qian checked the time and told her hourly worker Xiaoyu, “Are the dishes ready? Meizi should be back soon.”

She had been out for an interview all afternoon and should be back soon.

As Xiaoqian finished speaking, the door opened, and Yu Liumei entered with a frustrated expression.

“Sister-in-law! I need a psychological massage! Give me a few buckets of chicken soup for my soul!”

“Didn’t get the job?”

“I had it in my grasp, but then the principal said something, and I was rejected. He said the guy I went with was pretty good, but I don’t understand why, since we both performed similarly!”

“A guy?”

“Yes, he’s from your school! He’s in the Physical Education Department. His hairstyle is a bit weird, buzz-cut on both sides, with longer hair in the middle. His name has something to do with ‘ball’–”

Xiao Qian laughed, knowing who it was just by the hairstyle description.

“It’s fine. The job didn’t go to an outsider as he’s one of us. Don’t be upset. Next time I’ll invite him to have a few beers with you and get to know each other.”

“Your friend?”

“Yes. His name is Qiuqiu. We’re very close and eat together often. He’s been busy with his graduation internship lately and doesn’t come around much. His regular spot is on our sofa.”

Ye Xiaoyu immediately perked up her ears. Meiwei had a close relationship with another man? She had to make a note of it in her little book and dig up Chen Xiaoqian’s unspeakable secrets up close! Instantly she regained her motivation and seemed to be working harder while wiping the furniture.

“So he’s your friend. Well, I’ll have to find another job. Sister-in-law, join me for a drink tonight. I’ve got internal heat.”

After eating, Weiwei and Ye Xiaoyu went home, and Yu Liumei turned to look at Xiaoqian, who had been standing and looking at the sand table.

“Sister-in-law, does this sand play have any special effects?” She saw a variety of small ornaments in the sand table, plants and animals that formed a messy little world. Liumei was curious and reached out to touch it.

Xiao Qian slapped her hand away, “Don’t touch! I’m analyzing the condition.”

“Sister-in-law, are you kidding me? Isn’t this just a beach toy? Oh, yours is a bit more complete. Oh, why is this snake here? It’s so strange!”

Yu Liumei pointed to a small snake on the sand table and asked Xiaoqian, who nodded.

“It is a bit strange. That position should represent the father, but why is the father’s position a poisonous snake? It’s quite strange.”

Little Qian knew that Weiwei’s family situation had problems, but she thought the most significant issue was with the mother who traveled on business. However, the sand table showed the father’s position to be quite eerie. What was going on?

“Sister-in-law, what can you see from this tray of sand?”

“The emptiness indicates her loneliness, and the absence of human figures suggests she’s not good at socializing. These aspects are consistent with her current situation. But why is the father’s position a snake?”

As Xiao Qian pondered this, someone knocked on the door.

Just as Ye Xiaoyu was about to go out shopping, she immediately turned around to see a scholarly man with glasses standing in front of Meiwei’s door. She quickly checked her watch: It was already 7 pm.

“He’s here.” Little Qian opened the door and invited Liao Fugui, who was standing outside, into the house.

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu standing at the doorway, looking at them curiously, Xiao Qian playfully lowered her voice and asked Liao Fugui, “Did anyone see you when you came?”

“No, why?” Liao Fugui had just finished a well-known appraisal and was exhausted. He wanted to see his sister before returning home and had bought her some food along the way.

“Great. Today, Comrade Yu Gangdan isn’t home, so your timing is perfect!”

Xiao Qian deliberately phrased her words to let people’s imagination run wild, then dragged her unsuspecting stepbrother into the house. As she closed the door, she didn’t miss the gossip-filled expression on Ye Xiaoyu’s face.

When Ye Xiaoyu entered, she immediately took out the small notebook she always carried with her and recorded it seriously.

Some year, some month, some day, Meiwei met an unidentified glasses-wearing man at home and said, “Yu Gangdan isn’t home. Your timing is perfect.”

She had to tell Yu Minglang about this. Meiwei was just too wicked!

“Qian’er, what are you playing with? Auntie Jia asked me to bring you some nutritional supplements… Oh, is this a sand table?” Liao Fugui entered and immediately noticed the sand table.

His expression immediately turned serious.
