When Xiao Qian went with Yu Minglang into the mountain, Ye Xiaoyu wanted to compete with her, so she forcefully took over Xiao Qian’s shift. She wanted to prove that she could do what Meiwei could do.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoyu’s show went terribly because she was so emotional, letting her negativity torture Li Jia, who was pursuing her. In the end, she did not expect Li Jia to have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
When people with this disease are good, they are very good to others, but can turn hostile in a second. When they are in a good mood, they can give you their hearts, but when they are in a bad mood, they might as well bite some flesh off you.
Li Jia’s father is the richest man in the city and is currently fervently pursuing Ye Xiaoyu. Although she doesn’t like him – after all, in her heart, she has been hiding a godlike man for many years – she wants to prove her charm ever since Yu Minglang politely rejected her. So she got along with Li Jia.
Li Jia has been pursuing Ye Xiaoyu for a while now and she has been using her tricks to string him along, keeping him on the hook but not letting him get too close. She was not shy about using him and accepting his expensive gifts, but when she didn’t need him, she would cast him aside and try to get close to Yu Minglang. When Yu Minglang rejected her, she accepted Li Jia’s pursuit in a fit of anger.
But just as everything was looking up for her, Ye Xiaoyu’s anger triggered Li Jia’s illness and he slapped her. Ye Xiaoyu wanted to break up, but Li Jia knelt down and threatened to commit suicide with a knife to his neck. His father, having only one child, immediately pressured Ye Xiaoyu to stay with him.
He offered to buy her a house, and threatened that they would make her lose her job if she broke up with Li Jia. They also promised to find a suitable psychologist for Li Jia, so he would not behave like this in the future, which was how Ye Xiaoyu changed her mind because of money and power.
But she hadn’t anticipated such an awkward situation happening.
Who could imagine that Meiwei, whom she despised the most, would turn out to be the super-powerful psychologist Li Jia’s father spoke of?
Li Jia’s father was also a businessman, and he had business dealings with Lily Tang’s father, Tang Daye. In their social circle, everyone knew that Tang Daye had connections to a very powerful psychologist. Although her services were expensive, she could deal with many mental illnesses that were not well understood in the country.
“Baby, what are you doing? She’s a doctor!” Li Jia was puzzled by his girlfriend’s reaction.
Ye Xiaoyu disgustedly pushed his hand away. She felt embarrassed showing affection to another man in front of Meiwei, especially when Meiwei’s seemingly calm but sharp eyes seemed to pierce her every move, making her even more irritable.
“This woman is not a good person! If you let her treat you, we’re through!” Ye Xiaoyu threatned.
Xiao Qian snorted, finding her childish.
“Baby, don’t be angry. I won’t see her anymore. Is that ok? Please don’t leave me!”
One moment Li Jia’s emotions were normal, and the next, he was suddenly crying a river, finally kneeling on the ground with a thud.
This kind of reaction was characteristic of Borderline Personality Disorder. Their emotions are unpredictable, prone to intense fluctuations. One moment they’re feeling one way, and the next, they turn to something entirely different.
Normal people have the ability to control their emotions when dealing with situations, but patients with Borderline Personality Disorder don’t. A small matter can trigger drastic mood swings. In medicine, Borderline Personality Disorder is also referred to as BPD.
The impact and destructiveness of this disease are enormous. Compared to Xiao Qian’s Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Pre-marriage Phobia, the difference is like that between an elephant and an ant.
“I’m sorry, Dr. Chen, I can’t let you treat me. Please go, and don’t make my baby any angrier!” Li Jia’s tone made it seem like Xiao Qian had done something terribly wrong to him.
Knowing this was due to his illness, so Xiao Qian didn’t get angry. She was always calm and distant with her patients.
“You can refuse me treatment, but I suggest you go abroad as soon as possible because this is not a small matter.” Xiao Qian’s professional ethics made her speak honestly.
“I’m not sick, my baby, don’t leave me!” Li Jia held onto Ye Xiaoyu’s leg.
Feeling the gaze of many people, Ye Xiaoyu’s face began to burn, especially in front of Xiao Qian. Unable to bear it any longer, she pushed Li Jia away and walked out quickly.
Seeing Ye Xiaoyu leave, Li Jia’s tearful mood suddenly changed to anger, and he jumped up, grabbed a cup from the table, and threw it at Ye Xiaoyu. Xiao Qian happened to be standing nearby, and Li Jia’s aim was off. The cup smashed towards Xiao Qian.
“Bang!”
Accompanied by a loud noise, a cup was thrown from a short distance away, accurately hitting the cup that was about to hit Xiao Qian. The cup fell to the ground, barely touching Xiao Qian’s sleeve.
Xiao Qian looked up and saw Yu Liumei standing there, panting. It was she who had thrown the cup, and she had saved the day.
Yu Liumei ran over and shielded Xiao Qian, glaring at Li Jia and scolding him.
“Are you blind? If you’re upset, go for a run instead of taking it out on others!” If it weren’t for her timely arrival, her meek sister-in-law would have been hit.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hit her; I was…” As Li Jia spoke, his emotions collapsed again, and he covered his face, kneeling on the ground and sobbing.
Xiao Qian raised her hand to motion for Liumei to refrain from blaming him.
She walked over, squatted beside Li Jia, and comforted him, “Don’t cry. I know you’re in a lot of pain. For BPD patients, the most painful part is when you hurt others. Angels and demons are on opposite ends of the spectrum, but I believe you are a good-hearted person. Don’t be sad.”
No one had ever said anything like that to him when he was having an episode. With tears in his eyes, Li Jia looked at Xiao Qian, “You believe me?”
I have encountered many BPD patients, and I know that you cannot control your emotions. You are paranoid and separated, but you are not schizophrenic. You feel empty and doubt your existence. You don’t even know who you are, but that doesn’t matter. I believe you will get better through treatment.”
Under Xiao Qian’s professional guidance, Li Jia’s emotions finally returned to normal, and he apologized to her before leaving.
Yu Liumei watched in amazement.
“Sister-in-law, you are amazing! You can tolerate even this person; you are truly a kind person!”
Xiao Qian felt a sense of guilt, as if she were fooling a child.
Her treatment of Li Jia was merely a doctor’s duty, unrelated to tolerance or intolerance. It was just like how doctors at a hospital would use a little stick to examine their patient’s throat, regardless of the patient’s breath. No doctor would despise their patients because that is their job.
Liumei saw only the good side of Xiao Qian. She had never seen Xiao Qian’s fierce side, so in her mind, Xiao Qian was a gentle and kind woman.
“Although Borderline Personality Disorder seems frightening and extreme, the patients themselves are also in great pain. With a little more persistence and understanding from the people around them, perhaps they could be pulled from the side of the devil to the side of the angels.”
