Lin Shuangxue only heard about the Psychological Counseling Room this afternoon.
At the time, she was still handling business.
At first, she didn’t care much, thinking it was just some random student’s silly game, nothing worth paying attention to.
She might as well stay at the company and sort out the contract she needed to negotiate next.
“I heard it’s run by a very popular classmate.”
Lin Shuangxue didn’t care. So-called popularity was just a pretty vase with a nice face at best.
“I think her name is Jiang Cheng?”
Lin Shuangxue’s hand, which was organizing documents, paused.
She looked up at her assistant.
“What did you just say? Who’s running it?”
“Um… President Lin, I haven’t been back to school in a long time, so the news might not be accurate.”
The assistant shrank back, looking a little scared.
Lin Shuangxue hated people who beat around the bush like that. Normally she would have scolded her, but right now she had something more important on her mind.
“It’s fine. Go on.”
“I heard from classmates that it’s run by a freshman named Jiang Cheng. They say there’s a long line of people waiting. It seems you have to book about half a month… or maybe a month… in advance.”
Lin Shuangxue didn’t catch the rest. She suddenly felt that she had been handling too many affairs lately and was indeed a bit tired.
‘Yeah, seeing a psychologist occasionally to relax couldn’t hurt.’
“Organize the documents. I have to go back to school for something.”
“President Lin!”
The assistant was startled.
“But the meeting is about to start. They’re all waiting for you…”
“Cancel the meeting.”
The assistant watched Lin Shuangxue stride out of the office, blinked, then broke into a smile.
She could smell romance.
‘So that girl named Jiang Cheng is the little mistress President Lin is keeping? Like those Korean conglomerates keeping stars? What a huge piece of gossip!’
“I want those documents organized by the time I get back.”
Lin Shuangxue’s voice came from far outside the door.
“Ah…”
The assistant’s face instantly fell.
She turned to look at the stacks of files and shivered.
‘How does the president deal with this stuff every day? She must be going crazy, right?’
Meetings, meetings, meetings every day. Lin Shuangxue was sick of all this back-and-forth bickering.
As soon as she entered the company, she had to face these old snobs who only moved when they saw profit, smiling to her face while stabbing her in the back. It was utterly disgusting.
If she didn’t let off some steam soon, she might really develop psychological problems.
Walking down the company hallway, Lin Shuangxue was in an exceptionally good mood. She didn’t even get angry when she saw a few employees slacking off.
That made many employees wonder if this Wooden Man was planning to fire them all, thinking she was happy because she’d never have to see lazy employees again.
She went downstairs, got into her car, and drove toward the school.
Aidelisa College wasn’t too far from the main Lin Family Group building. It was only about a ten-minute drive. Lin Shuangxue drove into the school and parked in the lot.
Getting out of the car, she stretched in the sunlight and took a deep breath.
‘What is freedom?’
‘It’s not lazing around at home every day playing on your phone, nor is it traveling around the world without rest.’
‘So-called freedom is cutting class during evening self-study to wander the track on the playground, it’s the road home from school on Friday afternoons. Freedom is not a result, but the process of pursuing a result.’
Right now, Lin Shuangxue felt that sense of freedom. Her whole body felt light, and even the sunlight seemed brighter.
‘Let’s go.’
She started walking.
‘Let’s see what Jiang Cheng is up to.’
When she reached the location the assistant had given her and pushed open the door to the Psychological Counseling Room, Lin Shuangxue was surprised to find quite a few people seated inside.
‘Is Jiang Cheng really that popular?’
Lin Shuangxue felt a bit annoyed, and her face darkened considerably.
“Cl… Classmate Lin Shuangxue…” a girl sitting on the sofa said quietly, “If you want to have a one-on-one chat with Classmate Jiang Cheng, you need to make an appointment. Do you… do you have one?”
The focus of her words was “one-on-one chat with Classmate Jiang Cheng,” not psychological counseling.
Lin Shuangxue’s face grew even darker. The few people in the room, including the girl who had just spoken, shut their mouths, not daring to provoke this imposing figure.
“Who’s next?”
She said coldly.
“It’s me…”
The same girl whispered.
Lin Shuangxue glanced at her, walked over, and stood in front of her.
“Ugh…”
The girl subconsciously closed her eyes and shrank back, bracing for the incoming anger.
But nothing happened. Nothing at all.
rrrip—
The sound of paper tearing, then something light fell onto her lap.
She opened her eyes in confusion and looked down cautiously—it was a piece of paper.
“Take this bankbook and collect 500,000 from the Lin Family Group.”
Lin Shuangxue didn’t look back as she headed toward the small door between the waiting room and the therapy room.
“This spot is mine now. Come back another time.”
“O… okay!”
The girl was pleasantly surprised. It was a shame she couldn’t chat with Classmate Jiang Cheng, but 500,000 was way too much. Her head was spinning, wondering if she was dreaming.
With the small problem solved, Lin Shuangxue’s mood improved again.
Her body felt lighter. She stood at the door, about to push it open.
But she heard sounds from inside that didn’t sound like conversation.
Instead, they sounded like…
Lin Shuangxue forcefully pushed the door open—no, she practically kicked it.
The wooden door slammed against the frame with a terrifying bang.
The scene that had been hidden by the door was now revealed to Lin Shuangxue.
An unknown girl had Jiang Cheng pinned down on the sofa, beneath her. Their faces were very close, their movements intimate as if they were about to kiss.
And Jiang Cheng?
That white-haired girl’s eyes were dazed, as if she couldn’t resist the other’s advance and was about to surrender.
—In a way, that was true. After all, Jiang Cheng could barely breathe, so of course her eyes would be glazed.
The air was still for a moment.
The female students outside, who had peeked curiously from behind Lin Shuangxue, were all stunned, their mouths wide open.
As for Lin Shuangxue…
Her body trembled slightly.
Clearly, the scene before her was completely unexpected.
Beyond what she could accept…
“Jiang—Cheng—!”
Lin Shuangxue growled through gritted teeth.
“What—are—you—doing!”
Lin Shuangxue was furious.
Su Mengyao was also furious.
And Jiang Cheng, the one about to be caught in the middle, was nearly despairing.
‘What kind of hellish picture is this?!’
