Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 684 - 664: The First Hypnosis (Part 1)

The stars in his eyes twinkled slightly, "You don’t need to ask me about such trivial matters."

She sighed and couldn’t help but ask, "Was it you who had Xiaolei fired from the production crew?"

He wasn’t surprised she would guess that, he simply raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying.

"It’s one thing to have Xiaolei move out, but now you’ve cut off her job too. After all, she is your cousin... and wouldn’t your uncle be angry?"

Jiayi, of course, wasn’t speaking well of Xiaolei.

She still harbored the doubts she had downstairs, always feeling that Huo Zhenyang’s anger towards Xiaolei was not simply that.

If he was truly angry, he could have simply asked Xiaolei to return to China. Why resort to these tactics?

Huo Zhenyang’s gaze flickered.

His political position in China was not yet completely stable, and he didn’t want to completely fall out with A Country, which is why he didn’t want to direct Xiaolei bluntly to return to China.

By making Xiaolei move out and then cutting off her work, she would naturally feel suffocated staying in Yunling on her own and would likely take the initiative to return to China. By then, A Country and his uncle would have nothing to say.

He stroked her hair, with a teasing tone, "Weren’t you the one who wanted this to happen?"

"When did I ever ask you to do that?" Jiayi was stunned, indignant.

"When Xiaolei was around, your face might as well have had this written on it: ’My husband is mine alone, the cousin needs to step aside, I don’t want to see her, I want her to move out, I want her to be embarrassed... I simply lent a helping hand to fulfill your wish.’"

"I did not! You’re making things up!" She felt like he’d hit a nerve, her face flushing and her lips pouting as she quickly pulled up the covers, too lazy to bother with him anymore.

***

Since the day Xiaolei moved out of Disheng and lost her role as the third female lead in the drama, there had been silence for several days.

A few more days passed, and Jiayi heard from Auntie Li that the nanny from the Mira Road apartment reported Xiaolei’s daily life saying she seemed to have received another job. It was Starshine Entertainment that had helped refer her to a low-budget urban idol drama where she would play a minor female role.

It was a job Xiaolei had taken on her own, and it seemed she had not given up on China’s entertainment industry.

Although it couldn’t compare to major productions like ’Locke Linglong’ and was just a minor supporting role, for a newcomer, landing a role above an extra in a TV drama was still quite impressive.

The idol drama was already in the process of filming, and according to the nanny, Xiaolei’s character was added midway. She had moved to stay with the crew a few days ago and had already started working.

No wonder there had been no phone calls or visits for so many days.

Jiayi calculated the time; Xiaolei’s current job was the new role she found less than two days after losing the part of the locked ingenue that very day.

It seemed that even though she was moved out of the villa and cut off from her work, she was still very unwilling to give in and was determined to stay in China.

After hearing Auntie Li’s account, Jiayi didn’t think too much or even have the time to think, as Dr. An, contacted by Huo Zhenyang, had already arrived at Yunling.

That afternoon, Ade drove Jiayi to the Yuehao Hotel, where Dr. An Haokang was staying.

In the suite of the hotel, Jiayi saw for the first time this internationally renowned top hypnotherapist and psychology expert.

Dr. An was indeed quite young, with slender legs and a narrow waist, and his demeanor was calm. With every gesture, he exuded an indescribable sense of reassurance.

Before meeting Jiayi, Dr. An Haokang had reviewed her medical case and heard about some of her issues from Mayor Huo.

This mayor’s wife was younger than he had imagined, even somewhat childish, with an innocent face that seemed more befitting a student than the wife of a mayor.

After sitting down, the two chatted for a while. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Dr. An Haokang’s therapeutic approach was always to progress from the shallow to the deep, starting with the simplest opening remarks, then moving to mundane daily life, hobbies, and interests, gradually leading into the main subject.

Therefore, Jiayi felt very comfortable interacting with him, as if chatting with a good friend.

After the pleasantries, Dr. An Haokang saw that Jiayi had relaxed a fair amount and then, putting away his smile, he spoke calmly,

"Before we start the treatment, I’d like Mrs. Huo to know that hypnotherapy is not magic, nor witchcraft. It’s just a part of modern mental health care, which means it may not necessarily cure Mrs. Huo’s symptoms completely. Moreover, hypnosis is a medical intervention that acts on the psyche, and each patient is different. During hypnosis, one might experience certain reactions and undergo experiences, which may also be very strenuous. I hope you are also aware of this in advance."

Jiayi nodded, "I understand. I will persevere."

These were things Huo Zhenyang had already discussed with her; she was prepared.

Yet she paused for a moment, curiously asking, "I’ve read about some of Dr. An’s cases online. Some people saw themselves just born and in swaddling clothes during hypnosis, or witnessed events in their lives that never actually occurred. Many people believe that through hypnosis, they saw their past lives. When Dr. An just mentioned possible reactions and experiences during hypnosis, is that what you were referring to?"

Dr. An Haokang crossed his hands and rested them on his distinguished jaw, "Humans have memories starting from fetal movement, it’s just that we start automatically storing them at a certain age, like three or four years old. Hypnosis releases some of the pseudo-memories from infancy or even from the fetal period; thus, some might see events from when they were very young. As for those who see scenes from a much more distant period in hypnosis, thinking it’s a past life... You call this ’past life,’ ’reincarnation’ in common terms. From a scientific perspective, this is known as the transfer of brainwaves."

"The transfer of brainwaves?"

"The concept of reincarnation, or ’reincarnation’ in the West, is a philosophical subject, not the superstition, inconceivability, or fanciful tales that Asians think it to be. Evidence suggests that many people, when doing something or visiting a place for the first time, feel inexplicably that they have done this before, or have been to this place before. Some people feel a natural sense of belonging and familiarity upon meeting another person for the first time. All these indicate the potential existence of past life reincarnations."

After a pause, he continued, "From a philosophical and scientific standpoint, when a person dies, their brainwaves persist. Every brainwave has an Itongo, a so-called microcosm. Carrying the memory of the deceased, these brainwaves drift, similar to electromagnetic radiation, until they attach to another new fetal body, which will then be reborn. Generally, as the infant grows, it’s impossible to remember the memory attached to the original brainwaves, but with hypnosis, one or two scenes might intermittently surface, meaning that patients might recall things from the life of the person their brainwaves were once attached to. The patients you mentioned who saw strange visions might be experiencing this phenomenon."

Listening with fascination, Jiayi said, "Eh, isn’t that like what we call the transmigration of the soul?"
