Chapter 28: Chapter 28: The Familiar Doctor Wen Is Back

"No." Wen Ying looked at the stall owner, her expression a little serious. She seemed to feel that answer wasn’t convincing enough. "I’m a psychologist."

"A psychologist?" The stall owner looked at Wen Ying in confusion. ’Are psychologists this cutthroat these days?’

’Starting to steal business from fortune-tellers now?’

"I know you’re deducing my identity and thoughts based on my clothes and appearance. That’s psychology."

"Alright, fine, whatever. I don’t care about your psychology. Are you going to pay or not?"

The stall owner clearly didn’t want to continue discussing the topic with Wen Ying, so he just held out his hand.

"One hundred yuan isn’t that expensive, I suppose. After all, a single session with me costs a thousand."

The stall owner’s face instantly beamed. "Cash or mobile payment?"

[Hahaha, the defeated fortune-teller changed his tune in a flash!]

[I’m curious, will Doctor Wen actually pay?]

[Fortune-telling is a branch of psychology! That’s not wrong!]

[If she pays, I’m unfollowing right now! She’s hyped up to be so amazing, but she’s just getting scammed like anyone else? This has to be scripted!]

[Can’t wait to see this streamer crash and burn after her overnight fame!]

"No rush, no rush. Sir, how about I take a look at your psychological issues for you?"

"..."

[Hahahaha, I knew it! Our familiar Doctor Wen is back!]

[Doctor Wen is so amazing, I knew no one could scam a single cent out of her!]

[So she stopped here to stream because she ran into a ’fellow patient’? Props to the dedicated Doctor Wen!]

Seeing the stall owner was about to lose his temper, Wen Ying twisted the knife.

"Sir, your surname is Li, correct? You have two daughters, and your wife passed away giving birth to the younger one. It must have been hard raising them to this age all by yourself, wasn’t it?"

"Who are you!" the stall owner demanded, his gaze turning icy as he stared at Wen Ying.

"I am a highly experienced psychologist. Sir, have you recently been so worried about your younger daughter insisting on marrying a foreigner that you can’t eat or sleep?"

The look in the stall owner’s eyes changed. It would be one thing if someone he saw every day knew about his personal life.

But he had definitely never seen this young woman before!

Besides, the fact that his disobedient younger daughter was insisting on going abroad was something only his family knew!

But his parents had long since passed, he lived alone, and his older daughter was already married with her own family.

All told, only four people knew about this.

"Who on earth are you? If you don’t explain yourself, I’m calling the police! You’re stalking me! You’ve been investigating me!"

[Have you felt the fear of being dominated by Doctor Wen yet?!]

[That’s how a senior psychologist does it! You convinced yet, Mr. Fortune-teller?]

"I really am a psychologist. I run a clinic on Wenxiang Street. If you’re interested, I can see you. It’s only a thousand yuan a session, and I can resolve your psychological issues all at once."

The stall owner looked at Wen Ying, his expression conflicted. ’I don’t believe her!’

But Wen Ying had just revealed details about his family that were practically secret. ’Maybe she really is something special?’

Although he was just a half-baked fortune-teller, he’d read plenty of books on strange phenomena and knew that a wide world is full of strange things.

Besides, this whole affair was a true sickness in his heart!

His precious daughter, whom he had worked so hard to raise, was actually planning to move abroad for some man—to a small, remote country he’d never even heard of. What would happen if she was bullied?

But his daughter was all grown up and wouldn’t listen to her old man anymore. She insisted the man would take good care of her, treat her like a princess, protect her from any hard or dirty work, and that she could come back and visit her father whenever she wanted.

But as a man himself, he knew that a man’s mouth is full of deceiving lies!

He was all sweet talk and deception now, but once they were married, he would surely show his true colors!

And by then, with the heavens so high and the Emperor so far away, he might never even know if his daughter was in trouble.
