Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Mental Illness

Mu Huaner smiled awkwardly, "Ah Lie, you’ve hardly been back, and on such a joyous day, let’s not talk about the heartbreaking past for now."

"But I really want to know," Mu Yunlie said.

If it weren’t for investigating his father’s matter, he wouldn’t even want to pass by the Mu Family’s front gate.

He certainly didn’t have time to come back and play ’happy family’ with them.

Mu Kang said, "Ah Lie, when you were little, your uncle told you that your father left to follow your mother."

Mu Yunlie’s cold gaze shifted towards Mu Kang, "So he jumped off the building himself?"

Mu Kang was taken aback, suddenly perplexed by Mu Yunlie’s questioning.

Wasn’t it a suicide by jumping off a building?

Everyone was very clear on that.

Why did Ah Lie suddenly ask about it again?

Mu Yunlie then looked at Mu Chen, "Second uncle, could you tell me more about the situation back then?"

Mu Chen shook his head, his demeanor suddenly turning somewhat neurotic, "I don’t know, I don’t know, I’ve forgotten everything! Don’t ask me!"

After speaking, Mu Chen immediately got up to leave, his steps somewhat unsteady, as if he had been provoked.

Mu Chen’s wife and children promptly followed him.

Old Master Mu sighed without saying a word.

Mu Huaner explained, "Second brother and third brother were very close since childhood. Second brother witnessed third brother jumping off the building and it was he who sent third brother, covered in blood, to the hospital. At that time, none of us were home, and he dealt with everything. Later, just mentioning third brother would cause him to act this way."

"Why is that?" Mu Yunlie asked.

Old Master Mu’s eyes reddened slightly, his voice low, "The doctor said he was frightened at the time, traumatized, what’s it called... post-traumatic stress disorder, so none of us mention your father in front of him..."

Thus, over the years, it was as if Mu Feng never existed in the Mu Family.

Even keepsake photos couldn’t be kept at home.

Whenever Mu Chen saw them, he would go mad.

Yan Qianyi spoke up, "I could try treating him."

Hearing this, a faint smile returned to Old Master Mu’s face, "Qianyi, I saw your competition in the Morris Empire, your medical skill is remarkable!"

However, Mu Huaner smiled unconvincingly, "Second brother suffers from a psychological illness, and you didn’t study psychology."

Yan Qianyi smiled slightly, "Quite coincidentally, I have indeed studied psychology."

Mu Huaner said, "Second brother is usually normal, as long as we don’t provoke him by mentioning third brother, he’s fine. He doesn’t need treatment, and he doesn’t want it either."

"But I saw second uncle’s hands trembling just now. His condition has developed to somatization; he still needs treatment. Otherwise, it will only get worse. The deceased have passed on, but the living should bravely face it and continue to live a good life."

As Yan Qianyi said this, she looked at Old Master Mu with a sweet smile, "Grandfather, you agree, right?"

That sweet call of "grandfather" made Old Master Mu’s heart blossom with joy; he quickly nodded, "Yes, we should help him move beyond the psychological shadow and bravely face the trauma."

"But Dad, you know second brother doesn’t want treatment. We’ve tried before to find him top psychologists. The psychologist also said that the treatment process would make him face his internal trauma again, which would be very painful. Seeing second brother doing well normally, let’s not torment him any further."

Mu Huaner, being the youngest daughter of the Mu Family, though closest to Mu Feng, also had a good relationship with her four elder brothers who cherished her dearly.

"Little aunt, I think Qianyi makes sense," Mu Yunlie said in a firm tone.

Mu Huaner hesitated for a moment, "But can Qianyi really do it? I’m just worried it might agitate my second brother and make his condition even worse."

Yan Qianyi said, "Since my little aunt doesn’t trust my medical skill, then I’ll ask the Masked Divine Doctor to come."

Mu Huaner looked skeptical, "Is she willing to come? She hasn’t been seeing patients at your family’s hospital lately, and I even tried to make an appointment to take Dad and look at his leg on the live broadcast platform, but she didn’t reply to me."

In the eyes of the world, the Masked Divine Doctor put on quite an air, and was very hard to invite.

Someone of Old Master Mu’s status, a top national doctor of the Morris Empire, could summon the country’s top doctors to his home with just a phone call.

But when they reached out to the Masked Divine Doctor, she completely ignored them.

Yan Qianyi nodded, "She and I are good friends. If I ask her to come, she will come."

She didn’t intentionally not reply to Mu Huaner; she simply wasn’t aware Mu Huaner had tried to contact her on the live broadcast platform.

There were too many messages in her inbox; she couldn’t look through them all.

Only when she had spare time would she pick and choose which messages to read and which patients to treat.

Mu Huaner smiled, showing a genuine smile to Yan Qianyi for the first time, "Okay, then I’ll leave this matter to you."

She didn’t trust Yan Qianyi treating her second brother, but if it were the Masked Divine Doctor, there would be no problem at all.

Mu Kang said, "I’ve heard that Masked Divine Doctor is amazing. Any difficult and complicated diseases, just a few needles from her can cure them."

Mu Yunlie took Yan Qianyi’s hand, his lips curving into a faintly proud smile.

Mu Kang added, "Then it’s settled. Let her also take a look at Dad’s leg while she’s here. No matter the cost, just name the price."

Yan Qianyi spoke up, "I can treat Grandfather’s leg; there’s no need for the Masked Divine Doctor to intervene."

Mu Huaner said, "Since we’re going to invite the Masked Divine Doctor to the house anyway, why not just let her check both?"

"The Masked Divine Doctor’s private consultation fees are very expensive," Yan Qianyi said as she looked at Old Master Mu with a charming smile, "I can save Grandfather some money."

Old Master Mu quickly nodded in agreement, "Okay, Qianyi will treat me; I don’t want the Masked Divine Doctor."

Taking advantage of the treatment opportunity to grow closer to Yan Qianyi meant getting closer to Ah Lie as well.

With Old Master Mu having decided, Mu Huaner said nothing more.

However, she inwardly sneered, thinking Yan Qianyi was clearly currying favor and trying to earn credit in front of the old man.

What did it matter if the Masked Divine Doctor’s fees were expensive?

The one thing the Mu Family never lacked was money!

Yan Qianyi stood up and said, "Grandfather, I’m going to wash my hands and then I’ll come back to check your pulse to see what’s happening."

Mu Yunlie also stood up, "I’ll accompany you."

A servant led the two to the washroom.

Old Master Mu watched their retreating backs, nodding in satisfaction, "Ah Lie was willing to come back today, thanks to having Qianyi around."

Mu Huaner frowned displeasedly, "What does it have to do with her?"

Old Master Mu explained, "Before, Ah Lie never dated; he was withdrawn inside. Now that he has the nourishment of love, his heart has softened, and he thinks about things differently."

Mu Kang agreed, "I think so too. Ever since he’s been with Yan Qianyi, his eyes seem softer than before."

Once at the washroom, Mu Yunlie asked Yan Qianyi, "Have you really studied psychology?"
