Don't Lie to Your Therapist—She Already Knows Your Fate Chapter 179 - 177: The Almost Forgotten Spirit Grass

During this ti, the little girl also suggested that she wanted to play with the new auntie.

And so, the Old Matriarch took it upon herself to have Chaochao’s mother take Mianmian to play.

Qin Hanyun was about to refuse, but he stopped when he saw his sister shake her head at him. She then took Mianmian to the simple play area on the second floor.

The family’s villa had all sorts of small play equipnt, not unlike a simple playground.

Although Mianmian had asked for Chaochao’s mother to play with her, she walked ahead of her as they went upstairs. It was obviously just an excuse.

At the dining table, Qin Hanyun’s mother couldn’t hold back. "Grandma, Chaoyun is my daughter. She only just got ho, and I don’t want anything else to happen that might make her feel uncomfortable. I know that by returning, she’s part of the Qin Family. But after she’s been gone for so many years... I’m just so grateful to the heavens she’s back. I can’t stand to see people deliberately giving her a hard ti."

The Old Matriarch gave Qin Hanyun’s mother an airy glance. "Are you suggesting I’m giving a child a hard ti?"

With her white hair and surprisingly youthful face (though that might be an exaggeration), the Old Matriarch radiated an imposing aura.

"Grandma, that’s not what she ant. We just hope everyone will stop bothering Chaoyun. As her parents, we can’t bear the pain of losing her again after just getting her back."

Qin Hanyun’s father spoke up in support of his wife.

The Old Matriarch was clearly angered by this. "Fine, fine! I’m just a bag of old bones whose words no one listens to anymore. Do whatever you want! I’m leaving right now. If I have no say in the Old Qin Family, then don’t you ever co looking for again!"

The Old Matriarch stood up angrily and turned to leave.

But surprisingly, no one moved to help her.

A servant waiting nearby imdiately rushed over to support the Old Matriarch.

As she was walking out the door, the Old Matriarch’s voice was surprisingly strong and resonant. "Since you all look down on what the Qin Family offers, then stay out of the Group’s affairs from now on. And get Mianmian back to before dinner."

Qin Hanyun and his parents all remained silent.

Their actions spoke of how much they valued Chaochao’s mother.

anwhile, in the small play area upstairs, Mianmian sat on the carousel, looking at Chaochao’s mother with contempt. "Are you really Uncle Hanyun’s sister? You don’t look like it at all. You look so rustic. I’ve never seen anyone as rustic as you. The Qin Family is a prestigious household. How could there be soone as rustic as you here? And you’ve lived in the countryside for decades, so your lifestyle must be very cheap, right? If you insist on joining the Qin Family, you’ll only bring disgrace to it."

Chaochao’s mother: ’???’

’Are these words that a ten-year-old child could say?’

Chaochao’s mother was a bit incredulous. "Did soone teach you to say that?"

"Why would anyone need to teach ? Don’t I understand these things myself? You’re definitely after money, right? I’ve seen plenty of poor people like you."

Chaochao’s mother: ’???’

’What in the world is this thing?’

"Don’t think that just because you gave a lollipop, I’ll accept you and like you. If it weren’t for Uncle Hanyun’s sake, I wouldn’t have even accepted such a cheap piece of candy."

"In any case, the Qin Family isn’t the right place for you. You should just go back to where you ca from."

Chaochao’s mother laughed in anger. "If soone with the Qin Family’s blood in their veins isn’t suitable, then I suppose an outsider like you is?"

"You! I’m the Old Matriarch’s favorite child! Everyone in the Qin Family has to be respectful and suck up to ! You want to suck up to ? I wouldn’t even look your way. It would just lower my status."

"Does the Old Matriarch know you’re like this?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"You accepted my gift, so you owe ."

"Hilarious! Believe it or not, if I start screaming that I’m in pain right now, the Old Matriarch will have you thrown out!"

Chaochao’s mother shook her head. If her biological parents were really like that, she would rather leave and never co back.

"You have asthma, don’t you?"

"How did you know? I know, you investigated , didn’t you? You want to use to get on the Old Matriarch’s good side. And here you are, pretending not to care. Who do you think you’re fooling!"

’Are children from rich families really this precocious?’ Chaochao’s mother couldn’t help but wonder as she looked at Mianmian.

’She’s only a few years older than Chaochao, so how can she understand so much?’

"Kid, I don’t care if soone taught you this or if you genuinely an what you say. I’m telling you, this is my ho. You are in my ho right now, understand? If I don’t welco you here, you have to leave."

Hearing this, Mianmian looked as if she were frightened and burst into tears with a loud "WAAAH!"

Whenever this happened, as long as the Old Matriarch heard her cries, the person she wanted to bully would be punished without fail!

The servants would rush to find her dicine, and everyone’s attention would be on her.

This ti would naturally be no exception.

But she cried and cried, and still... there was no commotion? Her asthma didn’t even act up?

Mianmian stopped on her own. "I’m going to find the Old Matriarch."

She threw the lollipop she’d been sucking on for over ten minutes to the side. Chaochao’s mother didn’t say a word, simply letting her leave.

She didn’t want to deal with those people, and she certainly didn’t want to explain anything.

Picking up the discarded lollipop, she placed it in a small box and returned to her room.

She ignored the sound of the little girl’s crying and wailing from downstairs.

Qin Hanyun’s mother still coaxed Mianmian for a while before finally having soone take her ho.

As Mianmian left the Qin Family’s villa, an expression not befitting her age appeared on her face, and she seed to be muttering sothing to herself.

As if she’d thought of sothing, she took out her phone, found a contact, and sent a ssage.

Wen Ying, of course, knew nothing about what happened after Chaochao’s mother returned to the Qin Family.

Right now, she was busy helping Uncle Zhang. Inscribing the pile of finished items one by one really took a lot of ti.

By dinnerti, Wen Ying had finished inscribing three simple missiles, two tanks, and more than a dozen bows and arrows.

Just from these items alone, Wen Ying felt that she had consud four-fifths of the Spiritual Energy brimming in her body. It was a significant improvent compared to before.

During this period, Wen Ying had also received intermittent trickles of rit. And because she had broken through to Foundation Establishnt, her physical constitution was far beyond that of an ordinary person or her past self.

She had to keep the little bit of Spiritual Energy she had left in reserve, just in case any ergencies ca up during her livestream that night.

"System, did you forget to give sothing?" Wen Ying suddenly rembered.

"What about those two stalks of Spirit Grass? System, you’re not trying to go back on your word, are you?"

[AHEM, how could that be! How could this System be that kind of system? I rely forgot for a mont. Please wait a mont, Host. This System will select two stalks of Spirit Grass for you imdiately!]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Gurong and Ruan Wood.]

[Gurong: Its leaves resemble those of an orchid, its root is like the balloon flower. It has black flowers but bears no fruit. Its na is Gurong. Eating it makes one unable to have children. Simply put, eating it causes complete and lifelong sterility.]

[Ruan Wood: Its shape resembles the crabapple, with round leaves and red fruit. The fruit is as large as a papaya. Its na is Ruan Wood. Eating it grants great strength. Simply put, eating it causes a massive increase in a person’s strength.]

Wen Ying listened to the system’s descriptions of the two Spirit Grasses and fell silent.

Sterility... and super strength...
