Don't Lie to Your Therapist—She Already Knows Your Fate

"Are we bothering everyone?" Meng Xiaoyi asked, looking over at Wen Ying’s group apprehensively.

Xu Jiali ignored her.

Song Jiayan kept her head down, saying nothing.

Wen Ying shot her a look. "Five leaves at a time. Anyone who didn’t know better would think you were on a leisurely stroll, Miss Meng."

Meng Xiaoyi was speechless. "..."

"I’m not very strong, so this is all I can manage. I know I’m letting the team down, but I promise I’ll work hard."

"Xiao Yi, you haven’t let anyone down. We’re in the same boat. I can’t carry much more than that either, can I?"

Wen Ying stared at them in disbelief. "So, you two are competing to see who can be the most useless?"

Jiang Beibei and Meng Xiaoyi froze.

They were seething internally, but on the surface, they only looked wronged.

’How dare she!’

’How dare she!’

’With millions of people watching, how dare she call them useless?’

’Does being good at farm work mean she can look down on them?’

’What a joke!’

’Not a single one of those farmers could ever compare to them.’

’The difference in status is immense!’

"Wen Ying, don’t you think you’re going too far?"

Jiang Beibei was angry. Genuinely angry, though she kept it restrained.

"I’m just kidding. Don’t take it to heart." Wen Ying smiled. "We were just talking about my profession. You two must be curious about what I do, right?"

Meng Xiaoyi shook her head.

’She couldn’t care less about anything to do with Wen Ying.’

’What did it have to do with her?’

Jiang Beibei felt the same way.

"I knew you’d be interested. Everyone calls me Doctor Wen because I’m a psychologist! A moment ago, the director felt the footage of us resting was a bit dull, so he suggested I conduct a little psychological evaluation for you two. Seeing as we’re all getting to know each other, I agreed."

Jiang Beibei and Meng Xiaoyi were speechless. "..." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

’When did we ever say we needed to see a doctor?’

’Besides, who the hell has psychological problems?!’

’If word of this gets out, how are we supposed to survive in this industry?’

"I’m sure no one would refuse to cooperate with the director’s request, right?" Wen Ying added casually.

Jiang Beibei and Meng Xiaoyi were in an awkward position. They wanted to refuse but didn’t dare, just in case this was a new segment the director had added.

Director Wen was baffled. ’When did I ever ask Doctor Wen to give Jiang Beibei and Meng Xiaoyi a psychological evaluation?’

’While he hadn’t thought of the idea himself, he knew you couldn’t just subject aspiring stars like Jiang Beibei and Meng Xiaoyi to a random evaluation, could you?’

But since Doctor Wen had already said it, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

’In any case, with a storyline like this, the show’s ratings would definitely explode!’

The crew, however, looked toward Director Wen. "Director, is this a new segment?"

After all, they hadn’t been notified.

"Just do your jobs!" Director Wen answered their question with four simple words.

"Doctor Wen, if this is the director’s request, we’ll cooperate, of course," Jiang Beibei said with a smile. "Who are you planning to evaluate first?"

If you can’t fight it, you might as well smile and accept it.

"You two can take turns. Who wants to go first?"

Xu Jiali sat to the side, buzzing with excitement, as if some major drama was about to unfold.

Song Jiayan also glanced over, her interest piqued.

Seeing the cameras on her, Jiang Beibei stepped forward. "I’ll go. Xiao Yi can rest for a bit."

Meng Xiaoyi gave Jiang Beibei a grateful look. "Sister Bei Bei, you’re the best."

"We’re sisters, after all. No need to be a stranger."

This time, both cameras swiveled to focus on Doctor Wen.

Doctor Wen suddenly stood up. "Apologies, it slipped my mind for a moment. For a consultation with me, the fee is one thousand yuan. Payment is required upfront."

Jiang Beibei was speechless. "..."

"The production team confiscated all my money. I don’t have any cash on me..."

Jiang Beibei sneered inwardly. ’You really love the drama, don’t you?’

Wen Ying looked toward the crew. The cameraman suddenly spoke up. "Can Jiang Beibei just pay you after the show ends?"

"No," Wen Ying refused without hesitation.

The cameraman was speechless. "..."

It would be a miracle if Jiang Beibei was willing to pay after the show ended.

"Ask the director. Either the show pays, or you give Jiang Beibei her phone back, let her transfer the money, and then you can confiscate it again."

Jiang Beibei maintained her smile. ’Is this Wen Ying joking?’

’Making such ridiculous demands and expecting the production team to play along?’

’Who does she think she is?’

’Does she really think she’s some big-shot celebrity?’

’There’s no way the production team will pay for this. She’s finally backed herself into a corner she can’t get out of!’

"The director says the show will cover it for now," the cameraman announced. "Jiang Beibei will have to pay it back after filming ends."

Jiang Beibei’s smile froze on her face.

Meng Xiaoyi was also stunned. ’This Wen Ying has that much pull???’

’Why has no one in the industry ever heard of a big shot like her?’

Hearing the cameraman’s announcement, Wen Ying said, "Alright. There’s a QR code on the small bag I brought with me. Tell the director to send the payment over as soon as possible."

Everyone was floored. "!!!"

Once she saw the payment had gone through, Wen Ying turned her attention to Jiang Beibei.

"So, Ms. Jiang, what sort of psychological issue would you like to discuss?"

"I’m not really sure. Why don’t you just give me a general check-up, Doctor Wen? After all, you’re the professional."

Jiang Beibei deliberately emphasized the word "professional" so that everyone could hear it loud and clear.

’If Doctor Wen is the "professional," then any mistake she makes now will be a massive humiliation for her!’

"Alright, a general check-up it is."

Wen Ying stared at Jiang Beibei, then slowly circled her. "Ms. Jiang, your looks and figure are truly flawless."

Jiang Beibei smiled. ’Of course they are. I’ve had professional training!’

But just as she was about to reply...

...she heard Wen Ying continue. "That nose of yours was very well done. I really like it. Did it cost you thirty thousand? And your chest... you went up two cup sizes, didn’t you? Really ups the allure."

The expression on Jiang Beibei’s face was a sight to behold.

"Just kidding! Don’t take it seriously," Wen Ying added lightly. "I’m just trying to help you relax."

This Doctor Wen is going way too far! So what if she’s a doctor? She can’t just insult Jiang Beibei like that! Isn’t plastic surgery the one thing female celebrities are most afraid of people mentioning?

She has a serious character flaw. How can so many people still like her???

"Doctor Wen, please stop making jokes like that. I might actually take them seriously."

"Then by all means, take them seriously."

"Doctor Wen, have I done something to offend you?" Jiang Beibei asked, playing the victim.

"You haven’t offended me. Aren’t we here to address your psychological issues? Everything I just mentioned—those are the culprits behind your problems. Understand?"

Jiang Beibei forced a bitter smile, gritting her teeth. ’As if I’d believe that.’

But the thought that she could turn the tables if Wen Ying was ruined gave her strength. She endured it and shook her head.

"What does that have to do with my psychological issues?"

"Your lack of self-confidence. That’s the root of your psychological issues. If you were truly confident, you wouldn’t have wasted so much money on a nose job and... enhancements. For a newcomer like you, several hundred thousand is no small sum, is it? I bet your agency wasn’t even willing to reimburse you for it."

"How did you know that?" Hearing Wen Ying mention her agency’s refusal to reimburse her, Jiang Beibei couldn’t stop the words from slipping out.

She sobered up in an instant.

"Doctor Wen, I was just joking."
