Chapter 7 Diagnosis
Around noon.
When Xia Xue was led down the stairs by Shen Weiyi, Xia Jun, Xia Jue, and Xia Yao were all stunned.
Xia Yao muttered under her breath, "She's dressed up so much, it's like she's a completely different person."
Xia Jue pondered to herself, "She really is her parents' biological daughter, inheriting all the best traits from both of them."
Xia Jun walked up to Shen Weiyi, chuckled, and said, "Judging from her appearance, she's destined for good fortune."
Shen Weiyi glared at Xia Jun with annoyance.
"They just brag."
After lunch, Xia Jun took Xia Xue out to visit Jingyuan's friends.
Because there was no prior notice, most people were not home; those who were home were either elderly or young. They stood at the door, said hello, and left.
The first few places seemed like a formality, and they didn't stay long. Finally, Xia Jun led her to a place with a suspended wooden gate, a plaque with the name "Xiaoyaoju" hanging on it, surrounded by a fence, resembling a farmhouse courtyard.
Xia Xue had a premonition that this was Xia Jun's true destination.
"here it is?"
Xia Jun smiled and offered an explanation.
"Xie Yanqing, your Uncle Xie's house."
Xia Xue was about to search on her phone when a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a martial arts uniform, walked out.
"Brother Jun, you're here. This must be my niece who's been living away from home for eighteen years. Please come in."
Xia Jun asked with a smile, "Did I disturb you?"
Xie Yanqing smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, I only have a daughter from a family friend who needs to recuperate. She's coming to stay with me for a few days."
As they spoke, the three entered the courtyard.
A slender girl lifted the curtain and stood in the shadows behind the door frame, coldly looking at the people outside. After her gaze swept over them, it finally settled on Xia Xue, her eyes filled with hostility.
Xia Xue blinked, feeling confused.
What did I do to offend her?
There was such strong hostility the moment they met.
Xie Yanqing cleared his throat.
"Tongtong".
The girl called Tongtong slowly walked out of the room, bowed slightly and said, "Qi Yutong greets Uncle Xia and Sister Xia."
The moment Qi Yutong spoke, the system's voice echoed in Xia Xue's mind.
"A cameo appearance in 'The Divine Healer Heals My Body, I Heal the Divine Healer's Heart,' opening the treasure chest..."
"Max level Traditional Chinese Medicine".
The four entered the living room, and Qi Yutong served them tea as if she were the hostess.
"Please, Yanqing, take a look at my daughter."
Xie Yanqing took the medicine box from Qi Yutong, took out the medical pad, and placed it on the wooden table between the two of them.
"No trouble at all, it's just a small favor, my dear nephew, please."
Xia Xue naturally placed her wrist on the examination pad, looking at Xie Yanqing with great interest.
A discerning eye for talent.
"Open-minded, pure, and benevolent."
As expected of the male lead, his character is very likable.
Xie Yanqing extended three fingers and gently placed them on Xia Xue's wrist. After a moment, he finished taking her pulse, chuckled, and said to Xia Jun, "Xiao Xue is in very good health, please rest assured, Mr. Xia."
"Really? That's great."
Upon hearing this, Xia Jun's face showed no joy, but rather a deeper worry.
Xie Yanqing immediately sensed that there was something going on, so he said to Qi Yutong, "You stay here with Xiaoxue for a while. Mr. Xia and I have some private matters to discuss."
Xie Yanqing stood up and gestured for Xia Jun to follow suit, and the two walked into the backyard.
They sat facing each other in the stone pavilion.
"Brother Jun, is something troubling you?"
Xia Jun didn't stand on ceremony with Xie Yanqing and directly took out Xia Xue's medical record and handed it to Xie Yanqing.
"This, this, this shouldn't be happening."
After reading it, Xie Yanqing's expression of shock was even greater than Xia Jun's.
"Severe depression and partial somatization? That's impossible. My niece's pulse is perfectly normal, she's very healthy, and there's absolutely no sign of emotional distress."
Xia Jun said helplessly, "I have verified it repeatedly, and this medical record is definitely genuine."
"Only three months, and she's recovered to this extent..." Xie Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. If she has cultivated a health-preserving technique and is extremely talented, and has already mastered it, then it's quite possible."
Xia Jun seemed to be thinking about something, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
Xie Yanqing then added, "Physical illnesses are easy to treat, but mental illnesses are difficult to cure. I suggest you find a reputable psychologist for your niece."
Xia Jun nodded.
The two chatted for a while longer before getting up and returning to the front yard.
Once Xia Xue and Qi Yutong were the only two left in the lobby, Qi Yutong stopped pretending. She sat down in her seat, picked up her teacup, and elegantly sipped her tea, completely disregarding Xia Xue.
Xia Xue shook her head slightly, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said, "This is the first time I've met Mr. Xie. I'm not interested in him, so please rest assured, Miss Qi."
A look of panic flashed in Qi Yutong's eyes. She glanced nervously toward the backyard and glared fiercely at Xia Xue.
"Don't talk nonsense. If I hear any rumors about you outside, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Xia Xue clicked her tongue twice.
Women, indeed, have many faces.
Look, the same face looks so different in front of Xie Yanqing and in front of her.
Xia Xue simply stated bluntly, "To be honest, I'm not interested in men."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yutong stood there dumbfounded.
Then, a look of inquiry appeared in his eyes, and he leaned closer to Xia Xue, asking curiously, "Are you... a lesbian?"
Xia Xue put down her teacup, coughed twice, and said, "I don't like girls either. I'm a staunch advocate of remaining single."
Qi Yutong lightly touched her lips with her index finger, looking at Xia Xue as if she were looking at a giant panda, and murmured softly.
"Sister, what's the point of a life without sex or love? I just can't understand it."
Xia Xue coughed twice more.
To cover up embarrassment.
These young girls nowadays are really something else!
They dare to say anything.
Qi Yutong suddenly lost interest and returned to her seat, muttering under her breath, "Pretentious, old-fashioned, boring."
After practicing the "Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong", Xia Xue's hearing improved, and although Qi Yutong's voice was very soft, she could still hear it clearly.
Xia Xue thought to herself, annoyed by what she heard:
"I'm just pretending to be virtuous. Who was it that was acting like a lady just now?"
"I'm old-fashioned, but Xie Yanqing is even more old-fashioned than me, and you still like me to bits."
"I'm boring, thank goodness you, you yandere, aren't interested in me."
Qi Yutong suddenly seemed to remember something, leaned forward slightly, and asked curiously, "By the way, judging from what you just said, you're the real heiress you just found outside? What was your life like before? How do you feel about Xia Yao? Do you hate her to death? Do you really want to kill her? Do you need my help?"
Faced with this barrage of questions, Xia Xue looked shocked, shifted back slightly, and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No need, thank you."
Qi Yutong glanced at the backyard and heard Xie Yanqing and Xia Jun talking closer and closer. She pursed her lips and muttered a curse under her breath.
"As expected, you're just an ignorant country bumpkin, a cowardly coward, and an unlucky bastard. You deserve to have been switched at birth."
