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

"Doctor Wen, you don’t understand. To my boss, someone like me is exactly what he needs. He’s busy making money, busy making *more* money. He can’t be involved with or be there for his family. Don’t you think I’m dedicated?"

The user "Successful Career" had a constant, faint smile on his lips. He was looking at the stream, but it was unclear if he was looking at Wen Ying or the live comments.

"You are indeed dedicated. If I were to score your dedication, I’d say a hundred points isn’t even enough for you. After all, you help your boss enjoy his family and money. That’s truly rare." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Wen Ying remarked with a sigh.

"Successful Career" seemed smug, basking in his own satisfaction.

[Help the boss enjoy his family and life? I recognize every word, but why can’t I understand it when they’re put together?]

[I have a wild theory... he didn’t cuckold his boss, did he?]

[Now that you mention it, I also think this guy’s a piece of work. He looks decent enough, but he does something so disgusting and then comes on here to parade himself as a good person?]

[Highlight! As of today, "giving one’s all for the boss" has a new definition! It means helping the boss enjoy his family and money!]

[To make being a scumbag sound so fresh and refined... this guy’s acting skills are on another level! I almost fell for it!]

[So he was playing all of us???]

"Successful Career" saw the comments and looked utterly disdainful. "Everyone, you’ve misunderstood me. How could I possibly be that kind of person?"

He said the words, but his expression didn’t match them at all.

"Doctor Wen, why don’t you explain for me? The viewers only seem to believe what you say."

"Of course. That’s my duty as well. Everyone has indeed misunderstood our patient, ’Successful Career’!"

Hearing this, "Successful Career" broke into a smug smile. Everything was under his control. This Doctor Wen was all talk, and he was still the victor.

’This feeling... it’s lonely at the top. No one could possibly understand.’

"Our patient ’Successful Career’ is just letting his boss help raise his three children, that’s all. What’s the big deal? He gives his all for his boss, so isn’t it perfectly normal for the boss to help raise his two daughters and one son?"

[SHOCKED! I knew it wasn’t simple! But I didn’t expect it to be this depraved!]

[Oh my god, does this man have no shame? He cuckolded his boss! The kids aren’t even the boss’s! And he still feels like he’s done so much for the boss! Isn’t this just like that classic case from the entertainment industry a while back, where the wife and the manager conspired to transfer all the assets?]

[I’m a little skeptical. Can someone who’s a boss be this stupid? Not knowing if one kid is yours is one thing, but not knowing after three? Can he really be played like a fiddle by a subordinate?]

"Doctor Wen! This is slander and defamation! Do you have any idea that what you’re saying is illegal?" "Successful Career" wasn’t flustered. He looked at the stream with displeasure.

"I can understand that you’re young and want to go viral, but how can you challenge human decency like this?"

[This is the definition of shameless, isn’t it?]

[Now that I know what he’s really like, hearing him say this just makes me want to PUKE!!!]

Wen Ying smiled. "Of course the boss had his suspicions. But since our patient ’Successful Career’ is so confident and smug, it must mean he’s the one who helped his boss ’handle’ this matter! With him helping to fake the results, how could the boss possibly find out? I have to say, our patient is an expert at figuring out what his superiors are thinking and a master of disguise. As they say online, even the Oscars owe him a trophy."

At this, "Successful Career" lowered his head. Onlookers couldn’t see his expression, so naturally, they couldn’t see the shock on his face as he looked down.

But it was only shock, not fear.

This meant he believed the situation was still controllable. At the very least, people on the boss’s side wouldn’t see this, or wouldn’t believe it if they did.

After all, for so many years, he had been serving his boss with his whole heart and soul.

When he looked up at the stream again, his expression was once again composed. "Rumors start with just a word. The internet truly is a terrifying place. This younger generation... they’re hopeless."

[Posers get struck by lightning!]

"This uncle isn’t going to play with you kids and your twisted values anymore."

"Hold on, patient. You paid your fee, so you’re my patient, and I have to be responsible for you. Don’t worry, your boss isn’t watching my stream. But your colleague certainly is. And as it happens, it’s a competitor who’s never liked you."

[Tang Yun, I never knew you were this kind of person! Tsk tsk tsk!]

[Is the person above this scumbag’s colleague? Are you really watching Doctor Wen’s stream? Oh my god!]

[I’m so happy to see this twist! So does the boss know now? Is this scumbag about to lose everything?]

[Don’t worry, everyone. We’re already on our way to get a paternity test. This time, we won’t be letting this "loyal and devoted" office director handle it.]

When "Successful Career" saw that comment, his long-held composure finally shattered!

His expression tightened, and the very air around him seemed to crackle with agitation.

"Calm down, patient ’Successful Career.’ Getting agitated is bad for your health. After all, the results aren’t out yet, are they?" Wen Ying consoled him.

But her consolation was like another sharp dagger plunging into Tang Yun’s heart.

"Think about it from another perspective. Look, your daughter is in elementary school now, so her compulsory education has started—you don’t have to pay for it. Your son also enjoyed two years at a prestigious private school. The tuition was over a hundred thousand a year. Over these past few years, you’ve saved over a million. Isn’t that something to be happy about?"

"You’ve only wronged your current wife and her children, but that’s no big deal either. After all, you used your boss’s money to support your current wife and children, letting them enjoy a life of luxury. They should be grateful to you."

[I love listening to Doctor Wen talk! Doctor Wen, say more!]

[My god! This has to be embezzlement using his position!]

[This’ll absolutely land him in jail! If not now, when?]

[Don’t worry, everyone. The boss has followed Doctor Wen’s stream. This Mr. Tang will pay the price for his actions.]

"What nonsense are you spouting! You’re framing me, aren’t you?"

Tang Yun couldn’t keep his composure any longer. He panicked, especially when he saw someone say his boss was also watching the stream.

He truly panicked.

[Heh, you know perfectly well whether I’m framing you or not, don’t you? I’ve never liked you, but I’ve always considered myself to be forthright and honest! You’re a deep and calculating person. I thought that was the extent of it, but I never imagined you’d break through the very bottom line of human decency! It was my mistake to consider someone like you a rival. I’m not worthy.]

[Don’t panic. The boss is watching you. Mind your performance.]

Beads of sweat slid down his forehead. Tang Yun’s mind raced, searching for a countermeasure, but it was clear he was no match for Doctor Wen’s speed.

"For all these years, you’ve been incredibly proud of this, but it’s the kind of thing that no third person—besides your boss’s wife—could know. So, to satisfy your twisted psyche, you once answered a question on a certain Q&A website."
