How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 263 Focus
"Huh? Who is this girl? Why is she here barefoot?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down. That's Mr. Zhou Jianye's daughter, Zhou Shuyao. She was in a car accident two years ago and suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and severe depression. She's been recuperating at home..."

"Are you talking about the time when Mrs. Zhou died?"

"That time."

"so poor."

"..."

After seeing the girl coming down from upstairs, the guests in the hall started talking about her. Soon everyone knew who the girl was and what had happened to her, and they all felt sympathy for her.

The most surprised were the Zhou family. No one expected Zhou Shuyao to come to the hall. You know, ever since the car accident, Zhou Shuyao has been resisting contact with outsiders, and is even more reluctant to go to crowded places. She even eats in her room.

what is it today?
"Yaoyao, why did you come out of the room?" Zhou Jianye, who was halfway through his speech, quickly walked up to his daughter, tightly grasped her hand, his eyes full of worry.

Is he going to get sick again?

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the nanny following behind his daughter. His stern eyes seemed to be questioning: Why didn't you take good care of the eldest daughter?
Although he felt sorry for his daughter, there were at least hundreds of people coming to celebrate his mother's birthday today, and they were all rich or noble. If his daughter fell ill, the birthday party would be in chaos. Wouldn't the Zhou family become the laughing stock of the entire upper class circle?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, Miss insisted on coming out and we couldn't stop her." A nanny quickly explained in a low voice, then pulled the girl and said, "Miss, there are too many people here, let's go back to the bedroom."

Another nanny put the shoes in her hand at the eldest daughter's feet, then lifted her feet and helped her put them on.

"..."

The girl did not speak, nor did she leave as the nanny told her to. Instead, she turned around and looked around the hall for a while, then took her hand out of her father's hand, walked down the stairs step by step, and came to Mrs. Zhou.

"Yaoyao..." Old Mrs. Zhou looked at her granddaughter distressedly, waved at her, and said with a kind smile: "Come, come to grandma."

The girl stood still, looking at her grandmother, and slowly opened her mouth...

Seeing this scene, not only Mrs. Zhou was stunned, but even the Zhou family members around her were stunned, and there was surprise in their eyes.

Does Yaoyao want to speak?

You have to know that Zhou Shuyao hasn't spoken a word since the car accident two years ago. Even though she has hired countless psychologists, no one can make her speak.

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, the girl opened her mouth and let out a hoarse sound from her throat, "Ah..."

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she became very excited and even a tear of joy flowed from the corner of her eye.

After two years, the granddaughter finally spoke!

The girl frowned slightly, with doubt and confusion in her eyes. She opened and closed her mouth, opened and closed it, but apart from "ah" and "ah", she didn't say anything.

"???"

"Yaoyao, don't be anxious, talk slowly." A man in his thirties walked over and said. His name was Zhou Shujie, and he was Zhou Shuyao's brother.

The girl opened her mouth and tried several times, but still couldn't say anything. However, the Zhou family was not disappointed. Instead, they were very happy, because this was the first time in two years that Zhou Shuyao tried to express her thoughts. Even though she didn't say a word, this change was extremely good.

This shows that Zhou Shuyao's condition is beginning to improve.

A trace of loss flashed in the girl's eyes, and then she seemed to suddenly remember something. She reached into her brother's pocket and fumbled around. Finally, she took out a cell phone and started typing on it.

The guests present were all curious. They heard that the Zhou family's granddaughter had severe depression. Sometimes she seemed to have lost her soul, sometimes she seemed to have gone crazy, and she was even unable to communicate with others.

But today it seems that it is not as serious as the rumors say.

Soon, the girl held out her cell phone screen in front of Mrs. Zhou.

When Mrs. Zhou saw the words on the screen, she immediately showed a happy expression on her face. She nodded and repeated the same word over and over again: "Okay, okay..."

Other members of the Zhou family also saw the words on the phone screen, which read: Grandma, I wish you all the best, good health and a long life.

A simple line of words can make people's hearts beat fast and feel ecstatic.

"Yaoyao, come and sit next to grandma." Old Mrs. Zhou said happily. Seeing her granddaughter's condition getting better, she was happier at this moment than on her birthday.

The girl shook her head gently, then walked into the crowd, and finally stopped beside a young man in the curious gaze of everyone in the audience.

Zhang Wen noticed everyone's gazes and calmly moved a few steps to the side to distance himself from the girl.

When the girl saw this, she also took a few steps and reached out to grab Zhang Wen's sleeve.

"???"

For a moment, everyone present was stunned.

what's the situation?
What is the relationship between the eldest daughter of the Zhou family and this young man?
It looks a bit intimate.

Wasn't the eldest daughter of the Zhou family suffering from severe depression? Hadn't she been recuperating at home for two years? Could this young man be someone else's son?

Yang Yuhong on the side looked at her brother in surprise, as if asking: Do you know the eldest daughter of the Zhou family?

At this moment, not only the guests present were very curious, but even the Zhou family was confused.

Others don’t know Zhou Shuyao’s situation, but as family members, they know it very well.

As far as they could remember, they had never seen this young man before today.

I hadn't seen it before the accident, nor had I seen it after the accident.

But if you say that the two have nothing to do with each other, I guess no one would believe it.

What girl would grab a strange man's sleeve and not let go?

Besides, there were hundreds of people present. Why didn't she grab other people's sleeves, but only grabbed this man's sleeve?

Could it be love at first sight?
Depression hasn’t healed yet, and love brain is coming back again?
Zhang Wen looked at the girl next to him and wanted to pull his sleeve out of her hand, but considering that she had just recovered from a serious illness and wanted to avoid relapse due to stimulation, he finally did not move.

It's just a little embarrassing.

Being stared at by hundreds of people, he seemed like a wretched man who had abducted a young girl.

"You...you know my sister?" Zhou Shujie walked over and asked, his sharp eyes constantly looking at Zhang Wen, as if he wanted to see through the skin to the soul.

"I've met him once." Zhang Wen said truthfully.

"When?"

"An hour ago."

"?"

Zhou Shujia looked at his sister in confusion. Shouldn't his sister be in the bedroom an hour ago?

A big question mark also popped up in Yang Yuhong's heart. She turned her head to look at Song Yixin beside her. Shouldn't these two people be talking and making love outside an hour ago?
Old Mrs. Zhou's gaze lingered on her granddaughter for a moment. She suddenly turned to the nanny and asked, "Xiao Song, what's going on?" The nanny surnamed Song immediately came to Old Mrs. Zhou's side and said respectfully, "Madam, it's like this..." Then she told her granddaughter everything that had happened before, not daring to hide anything.

There are many surveillance cameras inside and outside the manor. Even if she wants to hide it, she can't. When the time comes, as long as she checks the surveillance, everything will be clear.

Old Mrs. Zhou listened attentively, not missing a single word. After hearing the whole story, her calm expression finally changed.

Hypnotherapy?

Could it be that the change in my granddaughter today is related to the hypnosis treatment of that young man?

By the way, Yang Yuhong seemed to have said that this young man was a psychological expert.

Her eyes fell on the young man's bandaged left hand. It turned out that it was bitten by his granddaughter...

"Jianye!" Old Mrs. Zhou called her eldest son.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Zhou Jianye walked over and asked.

"The party continues."

"Yes."

Zhou Jianye walked up the stairs and continued what he was saying before, drawing the attention of the guests back.

Yang Yuhong nudged her adopted brother with her elbow and asked softly, "Brother, what is your relationship with the eldest daughter of the Zhou family?"

"It's nothing. I just gave her a hypnosis treatment." Zhang Wen said lightly.

Yang Yuhong was stunned. No wonder Mrs. Zhou's granddaughter looked a little normal today. So that's why.

She is still very confident about her brother's hypnosis treatment. After all, she has experienced it herself and knows how powerful hypnosis treatment is.

Looking at the girl's dependent look, a smile appeared on her face.

The essence of life conquered Old Lady Zhou, and hypnosis therapy cured the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. With these two things, even if Mr. Zhou Jianye had no intention of cooperating with her, he would have to think carefully about it now.

After all, one is a mother and the other is a daughter, they are the two closest people.

"Um..." Zhang Wen looked at the girl and whispered, "Can you loosen my sleeves? This is not good."

The girl said nothing, and of course, she didn't let go of his hand.

When Zhou Shujie saw that his sister was actually being "disdained", his face immediately turned gloomy, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, as if saying: My sister is pulling your clothes, it is your blessing, don't be ungrateful.

Seeing the girl didn't react, Zhang Wen continued, "I've suppressed your negative emotions through hypnosis. You won't lose your mind again. From now on, you must face life positively and not dwell on what has happened. You still have many relatives, so don't let them worry. If you don't cheer yourself up, no one can save you."

Although the demon of depression has been separated from the other person, after experiencing such a great stimulation, it is impossible to forget it. Who can guarantee that depression will not recur?
When one depression demon passes away, another one may appear.

After hearing this, the girl lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhang Wen sighed secretly. He was planning to meet more wealthy people at today's birthday party and develop them into his clients, but now there is a little tail around him, it seems that he can only look for another opportunity.

Just when Zhang Wen was feeling depressed, a middle-aged couple came over.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang."

"Hello."

"Mr. Zhang is really a young and promising man. He is not only a famous psychologist, but also very knowledgeable about Chinese medicine. I wonder if he has any Life Essence? I heard from Mr. Yang before that Life Essence has many benefits such as strengthening the body, anti-aging and beauty. I want to buy a few bottles to take home and drink. Is that okay?" asked the middle-aged man.

When he was delivering a gift to Old Lady Zhou, he accidentally saw the Life Essence in Yang Yuhong's hand. Originally, he did not believe in this kind of "magic medicine", but just now, seeing Old Lady Zhou's extraordinary enthusiasm towards Yang Yuhong and this young man, he couldn't help but become curious about the Life Essence.

The only thing that could change Mrs. Zhou's attitude is definitely not the health products sold out there.

With this idea in mind, he wanted to buy a few bottles and try them home.

If it works, today's trip won't be in vain. If it doesn't work, I'll just consider it a waste of money.

"There is no life essence at the moment, because the medicinal materials used to make life essence are very precious and difficult to collect, so they are not available at all times." Zhang Wen repeated this rhetoric again.

The middle-aged couple looked surprised. They didn't expect that the essence of life was so difficult to make and they couldn't buy it even if they had money.

But then again, if this thing can be bought everywhere, how can Mr. Yang have the nerve to give it to Mrs. Zhou as a birthday present?

"Mr. Zhang, this is my business card. When you have life essence, remember to leave a few bottles for me." The middle-aged man took out his business card and handed it over.

"Boss Hu..." Yang Yuhong said at the side, "I've known my sworn brother for such a long time, and I've only bought one bottle from him. The bottle I gave to Mr. Zhou today was borrowed from another buyer for 10 million yuan, and I have to return it later. You want to buy several bottles at once? Aren't you too greedy?"

"what?"

The middle-aged couple was stunned, and even the people around who heard it were surprised.

Ten million for a bottle of life essence?

Grab money!

"Mr. Yang, is what you said true or false?" someone asked.

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you!" Yang Yuhong said.

"A bottle costs ten million. Could it be made of gold? No, even a bottle of gold wouldn't be worth ten million."

"It's not originally that expensive, but you can't buy it without a price increase." Yang Yuhong looked at the people around her and said, "I knew you wouldn't believe me even if I told you. But you can rest assured, because you won't have the chance to drink it, so you won't be fooled, haha!"

The middle-aged man really didn't expect that Mr. Yang could only buy one bottle thanks to his sister's relationship.

It seems that the production of this thing is even lower than he imagined.

OK, great!
He likes things with low production. The lower the production, the more precious it is, the more difficult it is to make, and the more it shows that the product is extraordinary.

"Mr. Yang, I know this, don't I? But you have to leave two bottles for me, one bottle each for my husband and me. You can't let us drink half a bottle each, right? Mr. Zhang, what do you think?" The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen didn't agree, but said ambiguously: "Mr. Hu, I'll take your business card first. If there are any leftovers next time, I'll call you. As for whether there will be one or two bottles, that's hard to say."

"We can also increase the price!" said the middle-aged man's wife.

"This isn't about raising the price. Didn't I just say that? It's very difficult to collect the raw materials for the Life Essence, so I can only make as much as I can. So, the amount is very small each time. You should just wait for my call."

"Okay, just don't forget about us as a couple."
