Chapter 675
After Lucy's husband left, Qiao Anhao and Lucy sat on the sofa .
The coffee had already gone cold, so Qiao Anhao brewed a new pot and poured Lucy and herself a cup .
Lucy said "Thank you", then pulled out a business card from her bag and handed it over .
Qiao Anhao accepted it with two hands . Even though it was printed in English, she understood it .
Lucy, 31 years old, Psychologist .
Qiao Anhao put the business card away, and gave a simple introduction to Lucy . Before she could finish, Lucy smiled, nodded, and said, "Regarding your text messages, I know all about them . "
After a pause, she added, "Nian told me . " She took a sip of coffee . "As for the misunderstanding I created, I offer you my apologies . However, rest assured, Nian only came to find me purely for business . "
"Uh huh . . . " Lucy tilted her head and thought about it for a moment . "Simply put, Nian is my patient . "
Lucy is a psychologist and Lu Jinnian is her patient, which is to say, Lu Jinnian's mental health . . . Qiao Anhao instantly became stiff, unable to believe what she was hearing .
Lucy looked as though she understood exactly what Qiao Anhao was thinking, then curved her lips into a smile . "Actually, this is Nian's private matter, and I promised to keep it a secret, but you have this saying in China, something like 'Whoever hung the bell . . . '"
Mid-speech, Lucy didn't quite know how to continue, so Qiao Anhao helped her in English . "Whoever hung the bell on the tiger's neck must untie it?"
"Right!" Lucy nodded enthusiastically . "I believe, if you knew about it, then it would definitely be helpful for Nian . "
This time, Qiao Anhao didn't say anything, but stared straight +at Lucy .
"I met Nian five months ago . At the time, my husband and I were driving home when we found him . He drank a lot, so he wasn't very conscious at the time . He and my husband had known each other for many years and were very good friends, so we took him home with us .

"He wanted to leave when he sobered up, but my husband desperately tried to persuade him to stay . Finally, he agreed .
"He's really handsome, and a gentleman . Though he doesn't speak much, but my husband and I like him a lot . Our Nini also likes him too . Nini is our beautiful Labrador retriever .
"A week later, I realized that something was off with him . That night, I went out to a party . It was already three in the morning when I came home . The lights in his room were lit and his door wasn't shut . I was curious, so I pushed it open to find that he wasn't asleep and his room was filled with cigarette smoke .
"At the time, I just thought that he was really addicted to smoking, so I tried to persuade him to quit, but he didn't care . " Lucy shrugged her shoulders, then looked a little helpless . "Though we lived together, we rarely interacted with him . My husband told me that was just the way he was, so I didn't think much of it .
"Until one day, I came home from work . Nini saw me, immediately jumped onto me and grabbed my leg, dragging me to his bedroom while barking at the door . Nini's personality is very docile . We rarely see her like this, so I realized that something was wrong . I knocked on the door, but there was no reply . Nini then started to scratch at the door, and that's when I realized that something wrong, so I hurriedly went to find the keys, and when I opened the door . . . "
As Lucy said this, she paused for a moment, glanced at Qiao Anhao, then traced a line down her wrist and said, "He had committed suicide . "
