Girl, there's something wrong with you

Cui Jinqi returned to the clan.

Because of the sudden death of the emperor, the stock market in Jiankang City plummeted severely. The entire Cui family in Qinghe was running all night long. Her father Cui Taichong also stayed up all night, attending various conference calls to summon directors.

"What's the matter, dear girl?" Seeing Cui Jinqi returning home with a normal expression, Cui Taichong secretly screamed inwardly, because his little daughter has always had an eccentric personality and is always smiling. When did she show this kind of behavior? A serious expression?

"What's wrong, dad?" Cui Jinqi asked strangely.

Cui Taichong choked on his words.

It was hard for him to say, "You are usually not very serious, but suddenly you are serious now and it seems very abnormal." So he laughed, picked up the tea cup and drank water to cover up his embarrassment:

"Nothing, I thought you had something to say."

"I do have something to say, dad." Cui Xiaoniang walked up to him and said seriously, "I want to help handle family affairs."

puff! Cui Taichong just took a sip of tea, and when he heard the words, he immediately choked in his throat, and coughed violently after spitting it out.

"Clan affairs? Why do you have to deal with family affairs?" He looked around and talked about other things.

Of course, Cui Taichong showed pity and love towards this little daughter.

Not to mention that Cui Jinqi has been doted on by her family as if she were the apple of their eye since she was born. At that time, no one thought that it would have such a huge psychological shadow on her.

In medicine, this is called "factitious disorder", which means that the patient knows that lying is wrong, but still has an uncontrollable tendency to lie.

(For details, please see "Works Related" in this book)

In other words, the more things Cui Jinqi doesn't want to answer, the more instinctively she will tend to lie. And as the number of times she tells the truth increases, this tendency to lie becomes stronger and stronger until she can't stop lying.

This is a mental illness, and in a family in the financial industry, it is a very bad mental illness. After all, credit is the cornerstone of finance, and a girl who always lies will not only be unable to gain the trust of investment clients, but will also be unable to handle teamwork well in a financial workplace with high collaboration requirements.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Cui Jinqi to help deal with family affairs. Cui Taichong even thought that his youngest daughter was ill again, lying in the name of "handling family affairs", but actually wanted to sneak out to play with the eldest lady of the Taiyuan Wang family.

So he smiled and said:

"Well, haven't you been playing outside recently? It doesn't matter. I didn't say that you had to stay at home..."

Cui Jinqi was speechless, but she was mentally prepared for this and said with a smile:

"Dad, my illness should have been cured."

"Yeah, dad didn't blame you. What happened was that mom and dad didn't do a good job." Cui Taichong comforted her patiently.

Cui Jinqi:………………

"Dad, I want to find a psychiatrist to see how my current condition is going." She said seriously.

"Oh, okay." Cui Taichong thought to himself. Indeed, he hasn't seen a doctor this month.

If the best trauma doctors serve the Li family in Longxi, then the best psychiatrists basically have business dealings with the Cui family in Qinghe. After all, the workplace pressure in the financial industry is too great.

Soon the psychiatrist came to Cui Taichong's home and began to conduct psychological examination on Cui Jinqi.

"Jinqi, please answer some questions for me next." She took out the case collection from the package and began to read it carefully.

The case collection records a large amount of private information about Cui Jinqi, presented in the form of a collection of questions and answers.

As questions are gradually raised, Cui Jinqi will become more and more inclined to lie, and the psychologist can also judge whether Cui Jinqi's mental condition is worsening or improving through her gradual performance.

"The first time you were scolded by your father?" the psychiatrist asked.

Since she is asked repeated questions every month, Cui Jinqi’s answers are also very smooth:

“Playing with candles burned his business materials.”

"What's the most outrageous thing you've ever done to your brother?"

"Poke holes in his crime tools with needles."

"What kind of person do you think your mother is?"

"I have high emotional intelligence and can handle things in an orderly manner, but sometimes I have too much control."

………………

After about twenty minutes, the psychiatrist gently held up the frame of his glasses with his fingers and showed a rather surprised expression.

All correct.

Exactly the same answer.

In other words, Cui Jinqi told the truth for every question.

Looking at the brainwave imaging records again, pulling out the pictures with the mouse and looking over them over and over, she finally had to admit an incredible thing.

Although I don’t know what happened, there was obviously no sign of improvement last month, but I checked again today and found...

...Is her lying disease cured?

"Really?!" Cui Taichong, who was informed of this by the psychiatrist, immediately stood up ecstatically.

"At present, no abnormal response areas can be found." The psychiatrist said with a smile, "To be on the safe side, we should observe it for a few more days."

"It will take a few days of observation." Cui Tai nodded hastily and agreed, "make sure my daughter is okay."

The little daughter who has always been loved by the family has contracted a bad disease that makes her have to lie. As a result, she has a very bad reputation among the outsiders and is looked down upon. Isn't this a heart problem for him as a father? Now that his long-cherished wish has come true, Cui Taichong even has the urge to go to the temple in Purple Mountain to fulfill his wish.

"Jinqi!" He couldn't help but burst into tears, hugged his daughter and said, "You have been wronged these years!"

"I'm fine, dad." Cui Jinqi also felt a little sentimental, but it was quickly replaced by a firm emotion, "Next, I want to live the life of my own choice."

"Dad, I promise that you will live the life of your choice." Cui Taichong was so grateful that he wanted to buy the whole world and give it to her, let alone letting her handle family affairs.

"Yeah." Cui Jinqi didn't say much, but her mind suddenly returned to the past, remembering what Xing Yunzhi said.

Do you like him too?

These six short words seemed to carry a huge weight, so heavy that it was difficult for her to continue breathing just thinking about this question.

The instinct of self-preservation drove her to answer "no" immediately, because this would reduce her stress. Just as Wang Wanrou said when they first met, lies are tools used in games, and she is afraid of interpersonal games, so she would rather pile up a lot of lies to close her heart and no longer open it to anyone outside, so as to avoid being exposed to others. any harm.

But……

Cui Jinqi understood even better that as long as she chose to lie and deny at this time, she would have invisibly given up in the fight with Xing Yunzhi. Momentum, determination, will... will all disappear with the wind along with her denial.

After all, if you don't even have the courage to admit your feelings, how can you convince yourself that this relationship really exists?

Therefore, instead of the accumulated and deep-rooted subconscious mind of "lying to avoid harm", another greater fear enveloped her. It was a fear that she was about to lose something, telling her that if she chose to retreat here.

She will definitely regret it.

Therefore, even though instinctive habits were still trying to interfere with her thoughts, so much so that the brain in her skull even began to ache, it took her an unknown amount of time to finally overcome the strong urge to lie and tell her what she really wanted. Expressed content:

"Yes."

Pressing her temples with a painful look on her face, she felt as if some kind of protective shell that bound her soul seemed to be broken.

She had used a thick shell of lies to protect herself, but until someone stepped forward to stand in front of him, she no longer needed this shell.

Then she turned her head and looked at Xing Yunzhi with a pale and calm face:

"I like him too."
