WT Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Jiang Quanyu: Omnipotent in another sense.

Wen Shixi’s eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

Shen Chuji smiled gently: “Don’t be surprised, you may not remember, but when you were little, I went to the old residence to find Jiang Quanyu and met you a few times.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Shixi unconsciously clenched his hands on his lap.

Wen Shixi: “Then… what exactly is Jiang Quanyu sick with?”

“About this…” Shen Chuji said amiably, “In principle, I can’t tell a completely unrelated stranger about a patient’s physical condition, I’m sorry.”

Wen Shixi pursed his lips lightly, and his brow furrowed slightly.

Wen Shixi: “Didn’t you meet me at the old residence?”

Shen Chuji’s lips tilted slightly: “Although I don’t like watching the news, it doesn’t mean I don’t go online.”

Everyone who pays attention to this matter knows that Wen Shixi and Jiang Quanyu have long been unrelated.

Wen Shixi’s lightly furrowed brows deepened, stuck together.

Immediately, Wen Shixi sat for a moment, then got up from the chair.

“Okay, I understand, sorry to bother you.”

Shen Chuji watched the figure in front of him get up decisively, leaned back in his chair, the smile in his eyes hidden darkly behind his refined glasses.

Shen Chuji said with interest: “Why are you all so impatient, one by one?”

Wen Shixi: “Aren’t you unable to tell me?”

“But we can talk about something else.” Shen Chuji said: “Don’t you have anything else you want to ask?”

Wen Shixi: “No.”

Decisively and neatly, Shen Chuji watched Wen Shixi turn around and walk towards the door.

Soon, a gentle voice floated in the consultation room.

“But perhaps, would you like to know what Jiang Quanyu’s dream was when he was seven years old?”

Wen Shixi stopped and looked at the door in front of him in confusion.

Jiang Quanyu… his dream at the age of seven?

Wen Shixi silently turned his head.

To be honest, Wen Shixi couldn’t quite imagine what Jiang Quanyu was like as a child.

At the age of seven, his height would probably reach his waist?

Seeing Wen Shixi turn around, Shen Chuji smiled happily and pointed to the chair Wen Shixi had just been sitting on.

A few seconds later, Wen Shixi sat back in the chair.

Across the table, he looked at the doctor’s face opposite him.

After a short silence, Shen Chuji didn’t continue to beat around the bush and said bluntly: “When he was a child, Jiang Quanyu wanted to leave the Jiang family. His biggest dream was to leave everything that others had forced on him and have something that truly belonged to him.”

Wen Shixi asked doubtfully: “He doesn’t want to be the heir?”

Shen Chuji: “Almost everyone who is capable is unwilling to directly accept other people’s things, and will not believe in such gifts. Since he was about thirteen years old, when Jiang Quanyu began to get involved in company affairs, he has been planning, under the premise of not disappointing anyone, to leave the Jiang family and create his own business.”

While speaking in a low voice, Wen Shixi showed a trace of confusion.

He never knew that Jiang Quanyu had such a plan.

“Speaking of which, this may have a lot to do with his mother’s last words.” Shen Chuji said: “At that time, his mother was performing in Paris, and Jiang Quanyu went with her. But just before the performance, his mother had a car accident on the way to the Carnier Opera House and was rescued for a long time. It wasn’t until Jiang Quanyu arrived at the hospital that she finally passed away. Before she died, she told Jiang Quanyu not to trust the ‘family’ surrounding him. So speaking of which, Jiang Quanyu has always wanted to leave the Jiang family.”

Wen Shixi frowned tightly: “Jiang Quanyu’s mother… died in a car accident in Paris?”

Shen Chuji watched Wen Shixi’s expression: “It seems you really don’t know a lot of things.”

Wen Shixi bit his lip lightly, feeling that this was unreasonable: “If Jiang Quanyu wants to leave the Jiang family, no one can stop him.”

“Yes.” Shen Chuji asked rhetorically: “So what made him hesitate, or even give up his dream?”

Below the table, Wen Shixi’s hands clenched a little.

Shen Chuji raised his hand and adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose: “Although I just said that I can’t tell a completely unrelated stranger about the patient’s physical condition, Jiang Quanyu currently does not have any mental illness. Alpha Appeasement Agents is just to relieve his anxiety symptoms and can make him feel more comfortable at certain times. I think you must be curious, why would a person like Jiang Quanyu be anxious, right?”

The psychiatrist’s voice was guiding slowly, stating Wen Shixi’s questions little by little, and then answering them little by little.

“Since Jiang Quanyu’s mother passed away, everyone in that old mansion, even the servants, have been unconsciously observing his every move, using their eyes to judge whether a child is qualified to be the head of the Jiang family. He grew up in such an environment. What kind of person do you think he should grow into? In fact, in my opinion, his dream is just a sense of security that he has lacked since he was a child, has never obtained, and is not questioned.”

More than ten years ago, Jiang Quanyu was just a child who had just lost his mother and was forcibly taken to the main building to begin receiving strict training.

As Shen Chuji spoke, the look in his eyes as he looked at Wen Shixi became particularly profound: “I know that in certain situations, especially in adversarial situations, it is difficult for us to empathize with and understand another person. In your heart, you think Jiang Quanyu is omnipotent, so you actually haven’t regarded him as an ordinary person, nor have you considered his helplessness and what you can do for him, right, Mr. Wen?”

Wen Shixi bit his lip lightly: “If you think I need to empathize with him, then at the very least, he has to tell me what his difficulties are.”

Shen Chuji lowered his eyes slightly, took a light breath, and asked: “In most cases, do you feel that Jiang Quanyu is a very self-centered and controlling person?”

Wen Shixi: “Yes, so isn’t that some kind of personality disorder?”

Shen Chuji smiled brightly: “Of course not, it’s just different personalities. Jiang Quanyu is not NPD, he is just a very contradictory anxious attachment. For Jiang Quanyu, you are what he found in life, something that completely belongs to him. Jiang Quanyu told me that seven years ago, you were going to leave him and another beta to go to Paris.”

Wen Shixi straightened up, his eyes showing astonishment: “What?”

Shen Chuji: “In fact, as early as seven years ago, Jiang Quanyu had made all the preparations. As long as the asset restructuring was launched, the Jiang family’s assets could be reasonably divided and handed over to suitable collateral relatives for management. He worked hard for this dream for twelve years. No matter how unattainable or how hard it was, he never thought about giving up for a day. He was only one step away from his dream, and he could leave with you.”

Wen Shixi’s throat felt tight, and he slowly squeezed out a few dry syllables: “But he left alone.”

Shen Chuji folded his arms and looked at Wen Shixi’s face: “So, the reason why you came to me today is because you want to know what happened seven years ago, and why Jiang Quanyu left?”

Wen Shixi nodded, and then he added: “But please, Doctor Shen, don’t continue to beat around the bush and say things that are irrelevant.”

Shen Chuji laughed: “How could this be irrelevant?”

“You said I’m very important to Jiang Quanyu, and he made all the preparations to take me away from the Jiang family—” Wen Shixi said, “But Jiang Quanyu didn’t do that. He almost killed me, and when I opened my eyes, he had already left.”

Listening to Wen Shixi’s slightly raised voice, Shen Chuji gently rubbed his fingertips on the table.

“Mr. Wen.” Shen Chuji asked, “Do you really think Jiang Quanyu is a person who is not worth trusting?”

Wen Shixi’s brows were tightly knit together: “What exactly do you want to say?”

Shen Chuji: “From the perspective of a psychiatrist, I don’t know how many misunderstandings there are between you, and what caused them, but what I know is that seven years ago, Jiang Quanyu couldn’t accept you leaving with someone else, and he suddenly entered heat. In a situation where he couldn’t control himself, he repeatedly marked you, turning you into an omega. Subjectively speaking, he never wanted to kill you, he just couldn’t accept your departure.”

As he spoke, Shen Chuji raised his hand to comfort him: “But, of course, I know his behavior was very bad, so he was also very remorseful after he woke up.”

Wen Shixi: “So his way of being remorseful was to fly to Washington?”

Shen Chuji laughed: “He just knew you wanted to leave with someone else and went crazy like this. How could he take the initiative to leave you? It was your grandfather. He knew that Jiang Quanyu had actually done the ridiculous thing of marking his younger brother and was furious. He wanted to send you to a place where Jiang Quanyu could never find you again.”

Stripping away those disguises, no one is a born superior.

The twenty-five-year-old Jiang Quanyu had no way to protect the person he wanted to protect in front of his grandfather.

But Jiang Quanyu knew that he was the one who made the mistake and couldn’t let Wen Shixi be punished.

“Jiang Quanyu promised your grandfather to give up asset restructuring, officially take over the Jiang family, and never see you again. Of course, there was also a betting agreement. He had to use higher returns to exchange for the possibility of keeping you in the Jiang family. All of this is because he knew he was wrong, and…” Shen Chuji paused and smiled happily: “At that time, he told me that Wen Shixi cares about his family, so no matter what he gives up, he won’t let you lose this family.”

As he spoke, Shen Chuji took a deep breath.

“Let me think.” Shen Chuji stretched out his hand and spread out his palm: “A child who has lacked security since he was a child, without the slightest hesitation, gave up his dream of being redeemed and safe, a dream he had worked hard for twelve years, just to let his younger brother stay in the Jiang family. He completely doesn’t trust his family, sends countless people to monitor you and protect you at the same time, but still tries his best to take care of what you believe in. Mr. Wen, your brother can also be regarded as omnipotent in another sense, right?”

With the question, Wen Shixi sat in the chair and didn’t speak for a long time.

He could understand every word Shen Chuji said, but it was difficult to string them together. Only vaguely, he remembered a sentence Jiang Quanyu had said.

“Wen Shixi, you may not know, you messed up many of my plans.”

Wen Shixi’s breathing was light and shallow, as if drifting outside his body, wanting to go back in time to see every minute and second spent with Jiang Quanyu, and see what was true.

What kind of person is Jiang Quanyu? And in those places he doesn’t know, what did he do and what did he think?

In the quiet consultation room, the walnut wood table top was a warm color, reflecting Wen Shixi’s silent face.

Shen Chuji gave Wen Shixi a long time to accept it, and then he spoke again and asked.

“Now that you’re here, besides the matter from seven years ago, would you like to take some time to hear how Jiang Quanyu has been these past seven years?”

Wen Shixi’s lips moved slightly, and he said in a low voice: “When we met, he said he was doing well.”

Shen Chuji raised his hand, touched his nose, and restrained the unnatural look on his face.

Soon, Shen Chuji said.

“Well, if collapsing to the point of not being able to fall asleep for two consecutive months, losing a third of his weight drastically, and almost completely losing his short-term memory… counts as ‘good’, then it is indeed very good.”
