Chapter 1541: What a Hypocritical Woman

Jiang Chenghao took one look and sighed: "This flower... is in such a miserable state."

Xu Xiaoxiao gave a guilty smile, then asked: "Can it be saved?"

"Be patient, it's still possible."

Hearing that there was a chance, Xu Xiaoxiao immediately raised her eyebrows: "I definitely have patience, so hurry and teach me how to take care of it!"

"This isn't something that can be explained in a few words. How about we talk while we walk?"

"Sure, sure, let's go!"

Xu Xiaoxiao lifted her foot to leave.

But a cold voice came from behind: "Xu Xiaoxiao, didn't you say you were going home to rest? What's this, did you suddenly find the energy the moment you saw a man?"

It was also at this instant that Xu Xiaoxiao remembered...

Wang Sinian was following right behind her!

This guy, he was as annoying as ever!

And a total buzzkill!

Xu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, then turned back and said to the sarcastic man: "Being able to chat with Jiang Chenghao is relaxing."

"... You really are thick-skinned!"

This remark made Jiang Chenghao frown, and he spoke up bluntly: "To say that to a young woman, you really are rude!"

"How is it rude? When seeing an injustice, anyone can speak up!"

"Then how come I never see you meddling in other people's injustices, but you just have to meddle in Xu Xiaoxiao's?"

Wang Sinian raised his eyes, looking completely unbothered: "Why should I explain my actions to you?"

Jiang Chenghao nodded lightly, then said: "Indeed, no explanation is needed, so our affairs don't need to be explained to you either!"

After saying this, Jiang Chenghao grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's arm and walked away.

His words and his actions...

Carried a bit of a provocative meaning.

Xu Xiaoxiao felt that this version of Jiang Chenghao was very childish.

But...

She looked at her arm being held, and it felt as if a lively little deer was bouncing around inside her heart!

As for Wang Sinian, who was standing where he was...

His face had already turned black!

Hmph, what a hypocritical woman!

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't think she was hypocritical at all.

After calming her mood, she followed Jiang Chenghao to learn the little tricks of taking care of flowers and plants.

However, Xu Xiaoxiao became more confused the more she listened.

It was as if her brain was filled with a lump of paste.

This was strange; no matter how difficult an academic problem was, Xu Xiaoxiao could handle it.

How could raising a potted flower stump her!?

Jiang Chenghao seemed to notice Xu Xiaoxiao's confusion, so he suggested that he would take care of this flower.

He would return it to Xu Xiaoxiao once it bloomed in the future.

With Jiang Chenghao's help, Xu Xiaoxiao was naturally very relieved.

But Xu Xiaoxiao felt bad about letting someone help for nothing.

She thought she should give a gift to express her gratitude.

As for what gift to give...

Xu Xiaoxiao had to think about it carefully.

Unfortunately, before Xu Xiaoxiao could come up with anything, she suddenly became very busy.

Just in these past few days, several people suddenly came to find Xu Xiaoxiao, saying they wanted to undergo relaxation therapy.

Moreover, they specifically requested to use the Holographic Projection.

Originally, Xu Xiaoxiao welcomed others to come and experience it.

After all, she had to write a research report, so she naturally needed data support.

But she hadn't done any advertising, so how did these people find her?

After asking around, she learned that it was all introduced by Zhou Zhou.

This young man looked unreliable, but he was actually quite dependable when getting things done.

As for these patients, some saw results after one session.

But for others, there was no improvement even after several sessions.

Just like this one right now.

Xu Xiaoxiao thought that since there was no effect, it meant the direction was wrong.

So she decided to change the treatment method today.

She first let the other person relax, then hypnotized them.

And she had the person speak out the true crux of their heart while in their sleep.

This was equivalent to directly tearing open the trauma in their heart, which was very risky.

But as long as it succeeded, it could help this person untie their mental knot.

However, just as it reached the critical moment...

Beep, beep, beep—

A sudden, abrupt ringtone rang out!

The man lying on the bed opened his eyes abruptly, his breathing rapid, with terror still in his gaze.

Xu Xiaoxiao secretly cursed that this was bad.

Then, she furrowed her brows and asked, "Didn't I tell you to put your phone on silent?"

The man looked a bit bewildered.

He reached toward the source of the sound, and when he took it out, he muttered, "I forgot I had another phone."

"This is a critical moment in the treatment; turn it off first."

The man had intended to follow her advice, but...

When he inadvertently glanced at the message on the phone screen...

The man's expression suddenly changed, and he roared in a rage, "That bitch!"

Because the other party's shout was so sudden, Xu Xiaoxiao was startled.

Then, the other party continued to roar, "She still wants to divorce me; she must have someone else on the outside!"

Through the hypnosis just now, Xu Xiaoxiao knew the man's anxiety stemmed from disharmony in his marriage.

Now, during treatment, at a time when emotional resistance is at its weakest, to learn this news...

It truly was not a good thing!

Xu Xiaoxiao made a prompt decision and ended the treatment.

Seeing this, a flash of malice crossed the man's eyes, and he questioned, "What are you doing?"

"Your current situation is not suitable for continuing treatment; calm down first."

"But did I say to interrupt it?!"

"I am the therapist; listen to me."

"What 'listen to you'? I see that you women are all the same, fickle and base!"

The man's emotions suddenly became very manic, and he even picked up a bottle placed to the side and smashed it at Xu Xiaoxiao!

That bottle of water was originally bought by the man himself because he was worried Xu Xiaoxiao would get thirsty while talking.

He never expected it would end up becoming a weapon!

The bottle was seen spinning in the air, finally hitting Xu Xiaoxiao's forehead squarely!

It even made her feel dizzy for a moment!

When she came to her senses, she discovered the man had rushed over, with the intention of attacking further!

Xu Xiaoxiao was shocked, hurriedly stood up to dodge, and urged, "Take a deep breath first and control your emotions!"

"I've been controlling my emotions all along, but what's the result? Women are all base and not worth being good to!"

The man didn't listen to Xu Xiaoxiao at all, smashing things while trying to get close to her.

But the room was only so big, and the man had lost his reason, so after stumbling twice, he grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's arm...

"Let go! You will regret this once you sober up!!"

How could the man care about sobering up at this point?

He had only one thought in his mind right now...

To teach this woman a lesson!

The man's eyes turned fierce, and he raised his fist!!

But just at this moment—

"Bang!"

Someone kicked open the office door and, like a gust of wind, rushed over.

Before Xu Xiaoxiao could even react, she felt the force restraining her arm disappear.

She was still shaken.

She turned her head to look beside her, only to find that the man who had been arrogant just a moment ago was already pinned under Wang Sinian, who then punched him hard!

This pain actually made the man sober up.

But it also made him furious, and he shouted at Wang Sinian, "You actually dare to hit me!?"

"I'm hitting you because you deserve it!!" Saying this, Wang Sinian prepared to hit him again.

But Xu Xiaoxiao grabbed his arm and urged, "Enough, let him go quickly!"
