An opened condom wrapper shattered her faith in love and her illusions of marriage, causing the beliefs she held dear to collapse in an instant. Li Man discovered that her husband was not only chea...
Riemann stayed with An Xin silently until her crying gradually subsided.
"Can you tell me, Auntie, what happened the night before last?" Riemann asked softly.
An Xin cried until her eyes and nose turned red. She sobbed for a long time before she said, "Auntie, can you promise me... not to tell my mom, okay?"
"Okay, Auntie promises you!" Li Man felt sad, but still agreed to An Xin.
"You can't lie to me." An Xin sobbed.
"Why don't you want your mother to know? Your mother is really worried about you if you do this." Riemann said softly.
"I'm afraid she will be sad. She has finally found happiness. If she knew Uncle Wang is such a person, she will definitely be very sad." As she spoke, An Xin's tears welled up again, rolling down the corners of her eyes to her temples, and finally disappearing into her hair.
Li Man's heart ached. What a sensible child. How could Wang Junfeng do this...
"If your mother knew he was this kind of person, she would never be with him. An Xin, you have to believe your mother. Although she loves Wang Junfeng, she loves you more."
"Wow... I know, but..." An Xin couldn't help crying. She didn't know what to do. If only her mother wasn't pregnant, if only she didn't have Uncle Wang's child, but...
"Tell your aunt what happened the night before last, okay? You'll be protected." Li Man gently wiped away An Xin's tears and said softly.
An Xin's tears kept rolling down. Li Man sat on the stool and quietly helped her wipe her tears. After a while, An Xin sobbed and said, "Uncle Wang peeked at me taking a bath... I found out, and he wanted to do something to me... Wuuuuu... I struggled to break free from him and ran out... and then I was hit by a car..."
From An Xin's intermittent narration, Riemann roughly understood what had happened.
After hearing this, Li Man was so angry that the blood rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead. He wanted to cut Wang Junfeng into eight pieces with a knife. He was worse than an animal. He was a lawyer. Didn't he know that molesting minors was illegal?
Li Man took several deep breaths and finally suppressed the anger in her heart, but she would not let him go just like that.
After speaking it out, An Xin felt much better. She had been holding it in for the past two days and was almost depressed.
"An Xin, did Wang Junfeng treat you..."
Li Man looked at An Xin. Although he hadn't finished speaking, An Xin knew what Li Man wanted to ask, so she quickly said, "No, I broke free from him and ran away."
Upon hearing this, Riemann secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That's good!
"An Xin, don't worry, auntie will definitely seek justice for you." Li Man patted the back of An Xin's hand lovingly and said.
"Auntie." An Xin said nervously, "Don't tell my mother, okay?"
Li Man's eyes were full of tenderness, and he comforted her softly, "An Xin, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, you can't hide it from your mother, because your mother is the person who loves you the most in this world. Although she will be sad if she knows, she will be even sadder if you don't tell her anything. We can't hide things like this. Hiding it is to indulge the bad guys. If the bad guys are not punished, they will hurt you again. So, we must speak out bravely and let the bad guys get the punishment they deserve, so that they can't continue to hurt us."
An Xin looked at Li Man in a daze. Li Man's words gave her great courage.
"But, my mother is pregnant. She is having Uncle Wang's child..." An Xin said anxiously.
"An Xin, don't worry. Your mother is not as fragile as you think. She is very strong. No matter what happens, we can't hide it from her. Hiding it from her is the greatest harm to her, understand?"
An Xin nodded in confusion, "Aunt Liman, thank you."
