Chapter 858: Tong Rao Poaching

Editor: Henyee Translations

Tong Rao’s voice reverberated loudly. Startled, the butler standing at the door opened it and inquired, “Madam, is everything alright?”

Ignoring the interruption, Gu Yang calmly addressed him, “This doesn’t concern you. Please close the door and ensure no one disturbs Madam’s treatment.”

Tong Rao sneered, “Do you think my butler will listen to you…”

Before she could finish her sentence, the butler promptly shut the door.

Tong Rao fell silent, taken aback by the butler’s immediate compliance.

Gu Yang pulled up a chair and seated herself beside the bed, her demeanor gentle and compliant. “Madam Tong, what were you saying just now?”

Initially furious, Tong Rao found her anger dissipating as she observed Gu Yang’s disarming smile.

She narrowed her eyes, still assessing Gu Yang critically. “Are you a hypnotist?”

Gu Yang responded seriously, “I am your psychiatrist.”

Prior to her arrival, Ji Minghui had provided Gu Yang with Tong Rao’s diagnosis and treatment history from other psychiatrists. Understanding Tong Rao’s temperament, Gu Yang knew conventional methods might not suffice.

Moreover, other psychiatrists had tried conventional methods without much success.

Upon hearing Gu Yang’s assertion, Tong Rao scoffed.

Her butler had always been loyal; he wouldn’t easily heed someone else’s commands. The only explanation was that this young woman from the Gu family had somehow influenced him.

“I brought you here to help me sleep better. How can I rest with such bright light?” Tong Rao frowned, frustrated by her ongoing sleep disorder, which also affected her mental state, making her irritable and easily angered.

Gu Yang responded with seriousness, “Madam Tong, please trust my methods. I have numerous techniques to help induce sleep.”

Tong Rao reclined against the headboard, glancing at the documents on her laptop that needed attention. She raised an eyebrow and muttered, “Quite confident.”

Gu Yang then took out a small, delicate thumb piano from her bag.

The thumb piano, an African instrument, was both easy to learn and portable.

Preferring to use music for hypnosis, especially for patients with severe sleep disorders, Gu Yang began to play.

The winter sun streamed warmly through the glass window, brightening the room where the heater hummed softly, creating a spring-like atmosphere.

The sound of the thumb piano rang out, its notes clear and ethereal like cold water flowing.

Unconsciously, Tong Rao felt transported to a spring valley, listening to the soothing trickle of water.

It wasn’t until her head nodded gently, like a chick pecking at rice, that she abruptly woke, realizing she had dozed off.

Meeting Gu Yang’s gaze, which gleamed brighter than the winter sun, Tong Rao smiled slightly.

After finishing an impromptu melody, Gu Yang gently suggested, “Madam Tong, since you desire rest, would you consider adjusting to a more comfortable position?”

Tong Rao averted her gaze, closing her laptop and placing it on the bedside table.

Settling into a comfortable position, she didn’t meet Gu Yang’s eyes directly but continued the conversation. “You must possess considerable talent to join the Psychology Society at such a young age.”

“I’ve heard you’re the adopted daughter of the Gu family’s eldest branch. It seems you’re not well-liked within the Gu family. Would you consider joining me as my personal assistant?”

When Tong Rao mentioned the Gu family’s dislike, she specifically meant the branch in the capital, where Gu Yang wasn’t related by blood.

Gu Yang continued playing the thumb piano, smiling as she responded, “My fees are quite steep, you know. Offering me a position as your personal assistant—aren’t you trying to get psychiatric services for free?”

Tong Rao sneered, “What a jest. Do you think I lack funds? The Gu family in Jin City treats you as one of their own, but the one in the capital may not extend the same sincerity.”

“If you remain with the Gu family, you’ll inevitably become a pawn in their marital machinations. Joining me, however, guarantees you won’t suffer.”

This young girl was rather charming.
