Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: This Must Be a Script

Rose Milk Tea happened to have a friend who worked at a bank. Ten minutes later, she was holding the printed statement, her hands trembling. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. 'How could this be?'

'The husband who loved me so much... he actually stole my parents' compensation money.'

'Doesn't he know? If he had just asked, I would have given it all to him!'

"What... what should I do?"

[Isn't this fraud? Throw him in jail!]

[Streamer, you're so good at reading people! Help Milk Tea! Take that scumbag down!]

Wen Ying heard the system's prompt and spoke slowly into the camera. "Please, call me Doctor Wen. I'm just a psychologist."

[Alright, alright, a psychologist it is! Just hurry up and help Milk Tea! Take down that scumbag and get her money back!]

"Milk Tea's husband also believed she was blinded by love and trusted him one hundred percent. That's why he didn't bother to cover his tracks. If Milk Tea gathers evidence and sues him now, she can get back the rest of the money."

[This is so frustrating! Milk Tea, you sucker, say something! Are you just going to wait for that scumbag to find out and transfer all the assets?!]

At Wen Ying's words, images of her parents flashed through Rose Milk Tea's mind. She then saw the stream of messages from her fans, all expressing their sympathy. The words she finally spoke seemed to drain the last of her strength. "I'm going to gather evidence now. Today's stream is over."

With that, Rose Milk Tea ended her stream.

Her fans remained in Wen Ying's stream.

[We want to see a stream of Milk Tea getting her money back! That scumbag has to be punished!]

[Did the streamer really figure all that out? This isn't some marketing stunt she planned with Milk Tea, is it?]

[Just a random viewer here, but this feels scripted. Fans, don't attack me—whatever you say, you're right.]

[Are psychologists really this amazing? Able to tell her husband stole her parents' compensation money? And that he used the money to find mistresses?]

Wen Ying saw the many doubtful comments and said slowly, "It's probably because I'm a highly experienced psychologist."

[Lol! Looking forward to the follow-up. If this thing with Milk Tea turns out to be real, I'll be a believer!]

[I've been a fan of Milk Tea for a long time. Her acting isn't this good. This might actually be real!]

"Are there any other patients who need a psychological consultation? To celebrate today's successful kickoff, the next person gets a 20% discount! It's a one-time-only offer~"

The words had barely left Wen Ying's mouth when the system's notification sound chimed again. [Congratulations, Host. Your reputation value has reached three thousand. You are awarded one lottery draw.]

'Three thousand?'

'Because of Rose Milk Tea's situation, over five thousand people had joined the stream, but I only gained three thousand reputation value.'

Wen Ying figured the rest either thought she and Rose Milk Tea were in cahoots to scam people, or they were just waiting to see what would happen next.

A donation from a user named [Who Isn't a Good Person] scrolled across the screen. He had sent a total of eight hundred yuan.

"Sir, would you like to join the voice chat?"

[Who Isn't a Good Person]: How did you know I'm a guy?

Wen Ying smiled faintly. "I'm a highly experienced psychologist. I could tell from your username and your actions."

[Who Isn't a Good Person]: Fine. Let's do it.

The man who appeared on screen was around twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He beamed at the camera, but there was something insincere about his brilliant smile.

"Since you claim to be a doctor, why don't you tell me what's wrong with me?"

Wen Ying looked at him, completely unfazed. "You have a serious psychological problem."

Hearing this, [Who Isn't a Good Person] burst out laughing.

"My life is great, and you're telling me I have a psychological problem? I knew you were a fraud! Everyone, be careful! I lost eight hundred yuan just to prove she's a scammer, but I think it was worth it!"

[Fraud! Give the money back!]

"I am a responsible psychologist. Since I've taken your money, I must be honest with you. You truly have a serious psychological problem: depression."

"I have depression? Have you run out of things to make up? That whole thing with Rose Milk Tea was something you fabricated too! I know her in real life!"
