Su Hongyu opened the door. Seeing it was Liu Rulan, he raised his eyebrows slightly. "Mom? What's up?"
Liu Rulan gave him a hard push. "What's up? How can you even ask me that?" Liu Rulan walked in and closed the door. "Are you just going to leave Meimei alone like this? Do you want her to die?" she said viciously.
It seemed that Liu Rulan was here because of Su Meimei. Su Hongyu frowned tightly. "Mom, when you say that, do you only see Meimei as your child?"
"I... What do you mean? You are both my children!" Liu Rulan was startled by Su Hongyu's attitude. It seemed that he was very angry.
"You always tell me to avoid Meimei. Why don't you try to talk some sense into her? You keep telling me to avoid her. Do you know what Meimei says every time she sees me? She says, 'Get out of here', 'Go away', 'Stay away from me'!" Su Hongyu's expression was a bit ferocious. "I can avoid her, but Meimei doesn't have to be like this. I'm not the one who raped her. I'm her elder brother, her real elder brother. Does she only think about herself? Has she ever thought about me?"
"Hongyu..." Liu Rulan was shocked by Su Hongyu's words. Thinking it over, Su Hongyu had indeed been the most aggrieved one at home these days. Every time Su Meimei was around, Su Hongyu would disappear. There were even several times when he had slammed the door on his way in.
"It's good that Dad isn't here. If he were, do you think Meimei would still be so out of control?" Su Hongyu sneered. "Meimei is pitiful, but this incident can't be an excuse for her to be so willful."
"She..." Liu Rulan bit her lip. "But she didn't do it on purpose."
"Not on purpose... It's okay if it's once or twice, but this is already the ninth time!" Su Hongyu said. He was also a member of the Su family. Now it seemed as if Su Meimei was the only one in the whole family.
"..." Liu Rulan's eyes turned red. "I know."
Looking at Liu Rulan crying, Su Hongyu felt bad too, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Su Meimei was her daughter. Only a woman could truly understand what a girl would go through after such an incident.
"I've made an appointment with a psychologist abroad. She'll arrive tomorrow. Tomorrow... Everything will be okay!" Liu Rulan said. "I don't want to see Meimei like this anymore."
Su Hongyu sighed. "If Meimei keeps acting like this, this family won't be a place for me anymore. Mom, it seems I'll have to live in the company."
"Hongyu!" Liu Rulan shook her head. "You are both my children." It was just that Meimei needed more care now.
...
The next day, a psychologist came to the Su family. She was an elderly female doctor. Liu Rulan walked over with a smile. "Doctor, you've finally come."
The female doctor shook hands with Liu Rulan. "Hello."
"Let's go and see my daughter first." Su Meimei's situation couldn't be delayed any longer. Otherwise, the whole Su family would be in a mess.
"Okay."
Liu Rulan led the psychologist to Su Meimei's bedroom. In Su Meimei's bedroom, even during the day, the curtains were drawn tightly. From a psychological perspective, this was a phenomenon of subjective avoidance. It meant that the owner of this room wanted to bury herself in the darkness and not let others peek.
Liu Rulan said to Su Meimei, "Meimei, the doctor is here."
"Hello. You can call me Doctor Zhang."
Su Meimei gave them a gloomy look. "Doctor Zhang."
Doctor Zhang looked at Su Meimei and then said to Liu Rulan, "Mrs. Su, could you please wait outside first?"
Liu Rulan looked at Su Meimei worriedly. "Okay. Then I'll trouble you, Doctor Zhang."
As soon as Liu Rulan walked out, Doctor Zhang sat down beside Su Meimei and said in a soft voice, "Miss, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Everywhere." Su Meimei said coldly.
Doctor Zhang smiled. "Come on, miss. Lie down first if you want to get better."
Su Meimei didn't want to be like this anymore. Every time she saw a man, she would think of the scene when she was...
Su Meimei lay down on the bed. Doctor Zhang took out her equipment from her bag and started to talk. She had heard about the general situation from Liu Rulan. The girl had been through such a thing. Her psychological shadow must be very deep. How pitiful.
As time passed, Su Meimei closed her eyes and her lips moved slightly. "They raped me..."
"Do you hate them?"
"Yes."
"Hating them won't help. The thing has already happened. Just forget about it... Now, I'll count down from five. After you open your eyes, you won't remember this thing anymore." Doctor Zhang said softly. "Five, four, three, two, one."
Su Meimei slowly opened her eyes with a look of confusion in them. "Who are you?"
"I'm a guest of your mother's." Doctor Zhang said. She wouldn't reveal her identity. Otherwise, Su Meimei would be suspicious.
"A guest of my mom's? Then why did you just barge into my room?" Su Meimei looked at Doctor Zhang strangely. "Get out!"
Doctor Zhang didn't expect Su Meimei to be such an arrogant and domineering girl. She was so rude to others. "Okay. Take care of yourself."
Doctor Zhang walked out. Liu Rulan had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing her come out, she immediately stepped forward. "Doctor Zhang, is Meimei okay?"
Doctor Zhang glanced at Liu Rulan. "Yes. This thing has been blocked. As long as you don't deliberately mention it, she won't remember it." Doctor Zhang looked at the door. "Mrs. Su, your daughter has quite a temper."
"She..." Liu Rulan was at a loss for words.
"She's so rude to others. To be honest, I kind of regret helping her." Doctor Zhang said.
"Don't say that. Please don't say that." Liu Rulan was startled. "Doctor, I'll pay you. Thank you."
Doctor Zhang shook her head. She had thought it was an innocent girl who had been victimized. Now it seemed that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person!
Liu Rulan managed to see the doctor off after much persuasion. Turning around, she saw Su Meimei coming out. "Mom, is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, yes. What would you like to eat?" Liu Rulan said with a smile. Meimei's expression had returned to her previous arrogance. She was no longer so listless.
"The ones I like."
"Okay. I'll ask the maid to make them right away." Liu Rulan said.
Su Meimei sat on the sofa and Liu Rulan sat beside her. Su Meimei thought for a while. "I feel like I've forgotten something."
"Ah?" Liu Rulan patted her on the shoulder. "You've just slept too much. Don't you remember? You started sleeping as soon as you got home. You must have been dreaming, right?"
Su Meimei pouted. Really?
Maybe!
