After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 457 - 353: Second Update

On a sunny winter afternoon.

A mother and daughter with unpleasant expressions, introduced by one of Ning Youguang’s clients, walked into her office.

After a simple opening.

Ning Youguang asked the mother and daughter, "What problem do you most want to solve today?"

The mother, looking sad and weary, glanced at her daughter sitting beside her with a cold expression, and said, "I hope my daughter can come home to live, instead of living alone outside."

Ning Youguang also glanced at the daughter, who looked impatient, "You’ve communicated, and the daughter still doesn’t want to come home to live, right?"

"Yes." The mother, looking weary, said to Ning Youguang, "Teacher Ning, I’ve heard you’re good at psychological therapy. I hope you can help me persuade my darling to return home and not live outside anymore."

"Okay, Auntie, don’t worry, let’s first look at why your daughter doesn’t want to come home to live, shall we?" Ning Youguang asked.

"Her friend told me she had previously encountered stalking, it’s too dangerous. I worry about this every day and can’t sleep well, afraid something might happen to her." The mother’s face was full of panic and fear.

Despite the mother’s concern and worry for her daughter, the daughter still crossed her arms defensively, with a cold expression.

The mother and daughter’s relationship has serious problems.

Ning Youguang calmly continued to ask the mother, "Have you communicated with your daughter about why she doesn’t want to come home?"

Upon hearing her question, the daughter quickly glanced at her mother.

The mother looked at Ning Youguang and then at her daughter, and said sorrowfully, "My darling dislikes the mess at home and doesn’t want to come back. There are indeed a few more things, but they’re all necessary, and don’t interfere with anything."

She sighed deeply, as if unable to understand why her daughter wouldn’t want to live at home due to the crowdedness.

The originally indifferent daughter suddenly changed her expression, "Is our house’s stuff just a little? Even the garbage dump has less stuff than our house."

She was full of anger and frenzy, "It’s suffocating! Every time I go home, it feels so overwhelming and agitated."

"They’re just some things; every time you come back I’ve organized and cleaned up." The mother looked troubled.

The daughter continued to be frantic, "What’s the use of just organizing?! The stuff is still so much. I asked you to throw it away, but you didn’t, treating the junk like your life! Look at whose home is like ours, filled with garbage, a home like a trash heap. Why do you insist on me coming back to live?!"

"Where is the garbage?! It’s all useful." The mother continued to say, looking distressed.

Seeing her mother like that, the daughter’s emotions exploded.

She anxiously got up from her chair, closed her eyes and shouted at her mother, "I don’t want to talk to you anymore! You simply don’t understand! So don’t even think about me coming home; you can forget it! Out of sight, out of mind, I might live a longer life, going back would surely shorten my life by thirty years!"

"Darling..."

Seeing her daughter’s firm attitude, the mother’s eyes instantly turned red, showing a face with an expression of extreme sorrow.

But the daughter’s gaze did not want to fall on her mother.

She was extremely angry inwardly, counting on her fingers as she spoke to Ning Youguang, "Teacher Ning, if possible, please help my mother get better, see if it’s her who has problems or me."

She said, "I say our house is a garbage dump, but my mom says no. So now I’ll tell you what’s piled up in our home."

She counted one by one, "Doormats used for over ten to twenty years, unrecognizable from rotting; shoes collecting dust, unworn for four or five years; shoeboxes and storage bags given with purchased clothing and shoes; delivery packaging boxes, broken umbrellas, expired food and skincare products, ointments, used bags, opened spices long unfinished and moldy, frozen ingredients kept for years because they’re too precious to eat, various broken unused pots, bowls, and plates, and new ones bought two or three years ago never used; various piled-up garbage bags, shopping bags, CDs from decades ago, old books, old newspapers, towels black as ink, outdated clothes unworn for decades, and various replaced electronic products... Teacher Ning, tell me, if these aren’t garbage, then what are they? I’ve told her countless times to throw them away, but she refuses, claiming they’re useful. A few times, I angrily threw them in the trash bin, and she went there to retrieve them. Isn’t that suffocating?! In such a house, anyone living inside would surely get sick!"

She grits her teeth, her face dark with anger and continued, "Even my toys and clothes from childhood, taken out from storage they’re moldy. I told her to throw them, but she said to keep them for my future children to wear, believing it brings good luck! What child nowadays would want to wear such dated clothes, let alone moldy ones!"

"And at home, there are already dead plants, their soil dried up, left unattended on the balcony. They’re neither thrown nor dealt with. I remember our house was originally large and spacious, but year after year, due to her hoarding, the house has become impossible to move around in. I really don’t understand how anyone can be like this!"

Ning Youguang patiently listened to the daughter’s complaints, looking at the mother who had lowered her head after being criticized, "Auntie, do you know you have a ’hoarding disorder’?"

"Hoarding disorder? My darling also mentioned this to me, but is this truly a disorder?" The mother timidly said, "I’m just unwilling to throw things away and love to buy things. Things bought in the past, my darling always asks me to throw them away, but they’re still usable. If they’re needed later, won’t we have to buy them again? That’s such a waste. My mother taught me from a young age to ’make full use of things,’ no matter the value, as long as they might be needed in the future. We should keep them and try not to throw them away; discarding things is unacceptable."

Her daughter, next to her, was red-faced with anger, "My grandmother’s house has many things too, but it’s different from ours. My grandmother’s house is much more normal than ours."

"That’s because there are fewer people at your grandmother’s house." Her mother countered.

The daughter was once again too angry to look at her mother.

She could only speak to Ning Youguang in frustration and helplessness, "Teacher Ning, look at this person, clearly having issues, yet finding a thousand reasons to say she’s right. You tell me, what can I do?"

"She constantly says, ’Maybe these will come in handy later,’ ’These might be useful in the future’... But in reality, after our house got cluttered, those rarely used items just end up collecting dust in corners, completely useless. No matter how I talk to her about decluttering, she doesn’t listen."

The excessive accumulation of items at home compresses living space and obstructs normal life.

Feeling old items remain "useful" and difficult to discard makes the home crowded, hindering access to items, disrupting normal life, and thereby contributing to the daughter’s anxious emotions.
