Chapter 334 I Anticipated Your Test

"Come in."

As the voice echoed from the room, Dongfang Wen pushed the door open and saw the well-behaved girl sitting on the bed, as if she had been waiting for him.

Her tea-colored hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her face was cute, but you could faintly see that she had lost some weight. Her body was hidden under the clothes and blanket, so you couldn't see much, but her petite figure was obvious.

And then there was her complexion.

Sickly, malnourished, and not in good spirits, this girl was very ill.

Dongfang Wen gently closed the door, and Chi Xiaocheng revealed a puzzled expression. "Grandpa, may I ask who you are?"

Dongfang Wen smiled kindly. "This old man is Dongfang Yang's grandfather. I heard him say he had a very important girl, so I came to take a look. This old body of mine still has to run around everywhere. It's a real killer."

Before Chi Xiaocheng could say anything, the doctor sitting by the bed, Doctor Lin, revealed a shocked expression. "Professor Dongfang, you've come in person!"

Chi Xiaocheng naturally looked bewildered. The grandpa in front of her wasn't even wearing a white coat.

Doctor Lin took the initiative to explain, "Miss Chi, this is one of the leading figures in our field of psychology. He has achieved great things in memory science. He's one of the best in the world in the fields of psychology, memory, and hypnosis."

After Doctor Lin gave a brief introduction, he looked like he was seeing his idol, and his excitement was palpable. "Professor Dongfang, seven years ago, I had the honor of attending one of your classes at Peking University. It was so beneficial. To be able to see you is just... I'm so happy. Can I take a picture with you?"

Perhaps realizing his impropriety, Doctor Lin scratched his cheek in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Professor Dongfang. I was being presumptuous. My name is Lin, and I'm currently one of Miss Chi's attending physicians in psychology."

Dongfang Wen laughed loudly. "Hahaha, it's fine, it's fine. I still need to talk to you about this child's condition later. It's a kind of fate to meet a student who likes me here."

"Not at all, not at all. Just call me Xiao Lin!"

Doctor Lin smiled sheepishly and then slowly said, "If you want to talk to Miss Chi privately, then I'll go out and wait for you?"

"Alright, alright."

Dongfang Wen responded. He was obviously a little surprised to see Doctor Lin here.

He had come without wearing a white coat on purpose, intending to examine the reason for Dongfang Yang's "girlfriend" as Dongfang Yang's grandfather, strike up a conversation with Chi Xiaocheng, observe the situation first, and then reveal his identity to talk again.

Naturally, after learning about the relationship between Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng, he understood that he had completely overthought things. Dongfang Yang probably couldn't interfere in the relationship between these two girls at all.

But enticing and coaxing were also common tactics for doctors.

Unfortunately, his initial plan was disrupted by Doctor Lin.

He raised his eyes to look at Chi Xiaocheng, and seeing the little girl's stunned look, he couldn't help but smile. "Don't listen to Doctor Lin's boasting. I'm not that amazing. It's just that the Dongfang family's status, plus my age, with one foot in the grave, gives the Dongfang family face, so they put so many titles on me."

"The main thing is that I just came over to chat."

Chi Xiaocheng seemed a little timid and embarrassed to speak. "I'm sorry, Professor Dongfang. What Doctor Lin said really scared me."

Hearing this, Professor Dongfang frowned in displeasure. "Why are you calling me professor? It's so distant. You have such a good relationship with that kid Dongfang Yang. Just call me Grandpa like him."

"And you don't need to feel any pressure at all. If Dongfang Yang hadn't insisted on me coming to see you, I wouldn't have come. I didn't even wear a white coat today. I just wanted to appease him and then go back to enjoy myself in the capital."

"Then... Grandpa Dongfang?"

Chi Xiaocheng called out timidly again.

Dongfang Wen was immediately overjoyed and laughed loudly. "Good, good, good. This old man has two grandsons and has always wanted a granddaughter. This call of 'Grandpa' makes me so happy."

Of course, what he said was false.

He only had one granddaughter, and she was already married. Even what he said to Su Tao earlier, that his "granddaughter was a female classmate," was just a spur-of-the-moment fabrication.

But he was confident that his acting wouldn't give him away.

Doctor Lin's appearance was an accident, but it didn't prevent Dongfang Wen from establishing a relationship with Chi Xiaocheng that was separate from doctor and patient.

If they couldn't be friends,

grandpa and granddaughter would also work.

The topic detoured from her illness and memory to embarrassing stories from Dongfang Yang's childhood and Dongfang Wen's experiences over the years.

Because of this, Chi Xiaocheng was very grateful that she hadn't used emotional points to activate ultimate acting.

She was even a little smug because she had won the first round of the game.

Dongfang Wen would never have guessed that Doctor Lin was actually someone she had specifically called over, right?

As early as when Dongfang Wen and Su Tao were discussing Chi Xiaocheng's condition, Chi Xiaocheng had called Doctor Lin over to discuss countermeasures against this hypnosis master.

Previously, Dongfang Yang had said that he had invited a hypnosis master from within the Dongfang family. After a little analysis, Doctor Lin determined that the person who was coming was Dongfang Wen.

And most of the psychology masters she knew had a habit of assuming a different identity without the patient's knowledge, hiding their "doctor" persona, and observing the patient in advance.

Some doctors would even assume the persona of an ordinary person and encounter the patient in life before the treatment period, thereby becoming friends.

If there was no subconscious defensiveness towards the doctor, it would be easier to guide the conversation.

To prevent this from happening, Doctor Lin discussed countermeasures with Chi Xiaocheng while waiting for Dongfang Wen's arrival.

Then there was the scene just now.

Doctor Lin didn't even know if Dongfang Wen had ever taught a class. In any case, he would first become his student, reveal his identity, not let Chi Xiaocheng fall into the trap, and even if she couldn't take the initiative, she wouldn't be led by the nose by the other party.

Chi Xiaocheng didn't like psychological suggestion, a method that affected subconscious thinking.

But that didn't mean that she really had no way to deal with this hypnosis master.

Like a little granddaughter and grandpa who met on the street, Chi Xiaocheng and Dongfang Wen chatted happily, and the topic unknowingly detoured from Dongfang Yang to Su Tao.

The smoothness of the topic made people feel no surprise at all.

Dongfang Yang was the only direct descendant of the Dongfang family.

The only heir to the future position of family head.

Dongfang Wen was his seventh great-uncle, and his grandson was Dongfang Yang's cousin. Unless Dongfang Yang was so rotten that everyone wanted to kill him, his fabricated grandson would not have a chance for the position of family head.

And as the only direct descendant, Dongfang Yang was naturally loved by the entire family.

Dongfang Yang's future heir was even more important.

The topic went around and around to girlfriends.

Then, naturally, it came to Su Tao.

Dongfang Wen inadvertently sighed, "That child Su Tao is indeed very good. She would be a very suitable daughter-in-law for my Dongfang family."
