Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 347‘ Chapter 321: Love is Priceless

Jingjing hugged Xiao Qian, speaking in incoherent words. Xiao Qian patted her while analyzing the situation.

The giant poisonous snake could be understood as the man who bought her and violated her, while the smaller snakes symbolized the people who gossiped and judged her with strange looks.

She wanted to cross the blood-red river, but she was stopped. This meant that the other side of the river represented the peaceful life Jingjing wanted.

And the blood-red river should symbolize chastity, but the problem was…

“That river, isn’t it dyed red by your blood? Did the poisonous snake bite you and make you bleed?”

“It didn’t bite me, it just wrapped around me… I was so scared.”

That shouldn’t be…

Xiao Qian recalled the girls who had been treated during her past life for being violated. They had dreamt of poisonous snakes, but all of them had been bitten and bled. Why hadn’t this one bled?

Xiao Qian felt she was on the verge of finding a breakthrough.

Suddenly, an idea came to Xiao Qian.

“The man who bought you, did he never touch you?”

Jingjing was first stunned, and then hugged Xiao Qian even tighter until it hurt. She kept shaking her head while tears streamed down her face.

“He hit me, he ripped my clothes, he wanted to touch me, but I kicked him there, and yet he still touched me! The human trafficker touched me too, it was disgusting! Then he kept hitting me, non-stop—”

Her words were somewhat incoherent, but it gave Xiao Qian a bold thought.

Could it be… Jingjing hadn’t been raped, just touched?

Xiao Qian analyzed that the girl had been dragged into the car by the human trafficker intending to rape her, as he knew she’d run out after arguing with her fiance.

There was a difference in price between virgins and non-virgins. The human trafficker prejudged that she wasn’t worth much and therefore wanted to rape her, but stopped upon discovering she was a virgin. Jingjing was beaten so badly because she kicked the man!

If this were true, it would be so ironic.

She had tried her best to protect her chastity, probably knowing that her fiance was a so-called Phoenix Man obsessed with a woman’s virginity, but upon her return, he would not accept her, believing she had been violated. His distrust had turned the disturbed Jingjing into her current state.

That’s why she had such dreams! Reality and the shattered dreamworld were confused, and her mentality had collapsed!

If this was the case, the poisonous snake should not represent the man who bought her, but the Phoenix Man!

Having found a breakthrough, Xiao Qian hugged Jingjing and said confidently.

“I believe you, I believe you are innocent.”

“You believe me?” Jingjing raised her tear-stained face, and Xiao Qian helped wipe her tears away.

“Yes, I believe you. I’ll help you cross the river!”

This girl had once helped Xiao Qian when the human trafficker tried to lay hands on her, only to be beaten herself.

Now Xiao Qian held her, using all her knowledge to help her.

Only by using her power in the right place could it achieve its true effect. If Xiao Qian had acted like a saint back in the village and taken this girl with her, all three of them wouldn’t have escaped. Good deeds must be done within one’s ability, otherwise, it’s just self-destructive saintliness.

“You’ll help me… cross the river? I can’t cross it, there are snakes in the river, all snakes! They want to bite me, what should I do?” Jingjing cried into a tearful mess.

Now, every time she closed her eyes, she was surrounded by those horrifying images – all snakes!

“What do you usually like?”

“I… I like Mashimaro.”

Hmm, since there are snakes in the river, let’s put many Mashimaros in it to crush the snakes. Mashimaro will make the red river clear and clean, then you can swim across by yourself. How does that sound?” It seemed unreliable, but that’s how dream therapy works.

“Bunnies can’t beat snakes.”

Little bunnies can’t, but what about big bunnies? As long as the river is filled with our bunnies and the water is purified, you can cross, and the snakes will never come back. How about that?”

“But I’m so scared, whenever I close my eyes, I can only see snakes…”

Don t be afraid. Come, I’ll guide you into your subconscious. Close your eyes, follow my instructions, and first count a few numbers to relax your breathing…”

What Xiao Qian was using now was what psychologists called dream therapy, meant to change Jingjing’s feelings and perceptions.

She hadn’t used this technique since her rebirth; this was her first time.

She hypnotized Jingjing into entering her subconscious, recreating the terrifying scenes from her dreams: the blood-red river and the dense snakes. Jingjing was in immense pain.

But Xiao Qian used a gentle yet firm voice to help her repair the shattered dreamworld.

“Walk along the red river for ten meters, one, two, three… then squat down and dig. See the little Mashimaro in the soil?”

“Mashimaro doesn’t grow in soil.”

Err… Boss Qian decided to catch up on various comics after going back. She needed to learn more from Yu Xiaoqiang.

“Look up, look at the tree. On the colorful tree, there are colorful gourds. Do you see them?”

“Yes, I do…”

“Go, hold on to a gourd. Open it up! See the Mashimaro inside?”

Sorry, Calabash Brothers, Boss Qian’s knowledge in this area was too limited; she could only mix up domestic animations.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Xiao Qian tried a few more times, unwilling to give up. Eventually, she managed to find Jingjing’s favorite Mashimaro on a swing far away from the river in the forest, but it was only the size of a fingernail.

This little bunny represented her sense of self, which had diminished so much already. The external attacks and her fiance’s unreliability had caused her to lose confidence in herself. Thankfully, she could still find the small bunny, so Xiao Qian encouraged her to use all the happy memories from her childhood to hatch it, excluding all romantic feelings.

Only by strengthening her sense of self to a certain extent would she be able to resist the snakes blocking the river.

The first treatment took two hours, and in the end, the bunny grew only as long as a finger, not enough to crush the snakes. But to have achieved this therapeutic effect was already impressive.

Xiao Qian was relieved that this girl, though foolish in love, had a kind heart. Her parents had provided good family education, so she didn’t hate Xiao Qian and didn t reject her. Xiao Qian could complete the subsequent treatments.

At this level of treatment, Dong Yi couldn’t do it, at least not now. Boss Qian had to step in herself.

When they came out, it was already late at night. The girl’s parents were waiting outside, and Yu Ming Lang stood straight.

How is it?” When Xiao Qian emerged, the girl’s parents asked eagerly.

“Her emotions have stabilized, and she’s asleep. I want to talk to you about the next treatment.”

Upon hearing that their daughter’s emotions could be stabilized without injections, the girl’s parents were overjoyed. They would agree to anything Xiao Qian said.

“I know my request might seem excessive, but… I want to ask you, for the sake of your child, what price are you willing to pay?”
