“I know you, Chen Jiayi.”
Chen Jiayi was taken aback, stared at Wang Yu's face carefully, and felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
“I am Wang Shulan’s daughter, Wang Yu.”
Chen Jiayi suddenly remembered, and she looked at Wang Yu in surprise, somewhat incredulous.
"Chen Yu???"
Wang Yu nodded, and said in a hoarse voice, "Can you help me? I really didn't become a mistress."
Chen Jiayi was so shocked that she didn't react for a moment.
Wang Yu's original name was Chen Yu. Her mother married into Chenjia Village and passed away eight years after giving birth to Wang Yu.
Wang Yu's father disliked her, considering her a financial burden, and wanted to throw her away.
Wang Yu was taken in by her second aunt, Wang Shulan.
Chen Jiayi married into Lianhua Town later, so she didn't know that Wang Yu was not actually Wang Shulan's biological son.
She had seen Wang Yu once before, from afar. At that time, Wang Yu took her father's surname, Chen, and her name was Chen Yu.
Chen Jiayi was surprised to run into someone from the same place. She looked at Wang Yu in front of her with a complicated expression.
"I met you once before, and you were confident, sunny, and cheerful back then. Why have you become like this? Can you tell me?"
Wang Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly, "What's there to hide? You know the person I'm dating, Chen Jiahua."
Chen Jiayi's eyes widened in surprise; she hadn't expected it to be Chen Jiahua, the eldest nephew of the second son of her adoptive father's third grandmother.
She knew Chen Jiahua because he was very handsome! He was famously good-looking in Chenjia Village, and many women would talk about him.
Wang Yu was exhausted.
"I thought he genuinely liked me, but I never imagined he was just using me as a stepping stone to find an excuse to leave Chenjia Village."
“After Chen Jiahua and I came to Haicheng, he found a job selling alcohol at a nightclub. He often came back drunk, and sometimes he would hit me when he was unhappy.”
“My mom was angry because I wanted to come to Haicheng with him. Every time I called, my dad answered. I didn’t dare tell my family.”
Wang Shuting immediately burst into tears, "You silly child, your mother definitely cares about you! Every time you call your father, your mother is eavesdropping."
Wang Yu's eyes were dim, and her voice trembled slightly.
“Some time ago, he met Lin Yuyao, the third young lady of the Lin family. Lin Yuyao took a liking to him and asked him to break up with me. He pretended to break up with me, but actually locked me up and continued to date Lin Yuyao while trampling on me.”
The people present fell silent, while the director stood awkwardly at the door, listening in.
His sharp gaze swept over the few cowering figures behind him.
"How many times have I told you! Have you forgotten the principle of serving the people? Look at the mess you've made!"
He roared in anger, "You only bring back the victims? What kind of nonsense is that? Does the Lin family have some special privileges?"
"Starting tomorrow! Three months' salary will be deducted! You'll have to do community service every day."
The roars from outside could be heard even inside the office.
Chen Jiayi knew that the other party was deliberately saying this to them.
Wang Yu trembled as she spoke in a pained voice: "Then, Lin Yuyao found out about me, and she suggested that I... be paraded through the streets as a public spectacle."
Lan Meixuan's eyes reddened when she learned the whole story.
"How could the third young lady of the Lin family act so recklessly? She should be convicted of hooliganism and held legally responsible."
Chen Qiming gently pressed his wife's shoulder, glanced at Chen Jiayi, and saw the anger in her eyes. He sighed inwardly.
Jiayi is still too young; her temper is easily revealed, and her emotions are written all over her face.
Chen Qiming said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the other party is from the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and it may be very difficult to make them bear legal responsibility."
Let alone taking responsibility, if the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce were to provide financial and political support, it would be questionable whether Wang Yu could even survive.
Wang Yu's dark eyes dimmed instantly, and she felt a wave of dizziness.
She felt like dying when the other party dragged her through the streets, but then she remembered how hard she studied so hard so that her family could have a better life.
If she just leaves like this, what will happen to her parents? What was the point of all those years of hard work?
Wang Yu, who had been holding her breath, fainted after hearing that there was no chance for revenge.
Wang Yu couldn't accept what had happened and fainted.
Chen Jiayi glanced at Chen Qiming, whose attitude was indifferent, then looked at Wang Yu, who had fainted, and Aunt Wang, who was crying uncontrollably...
A feeling of helplessness welled up inside her.
Although this world promotes gender equality, there are still many people who despise women.
Many women are subconsciously tamed without even realizing it.
When a woman encounters this kind of thing, it seems to be a lifelong shame that follows her, and the person involved seems to have no choice but to commit suicide.
If a man were in this situation, some people would say, "It's just infidelity, what man doesn't cheat?"
People will talk about it for a few days, then forget what this man did and what happened.
Seeing Chen Qiming lead Lan Meixuan out, Chen Jiayi couldn't help but follow them.
The director followed Chen Qiming with a broad smile, muttering something to himself.
"Mr. Chen, the police officer who insulted Ms. Chen is not a permanent employee of our police station. Should I fire him? Is that alright with you?"
Chen Jiayi called out loudly to Chen Qiming, "Dad!"
Chen Qiming stopped and patted Lan Meixuan, gesturing for her to get in the car first.
Chen Jiayi couldn't help but ask, "Dad, why can't we help her? She's not a mistress."
Wang Shulan is proud and would never raise a daughter who would become a mistress!
Besides, she believed that a girl capable of attending a university specializing in agriculture and industry would never stoop so low as to become a mistress!
Chen Qiming sighed, "Jiayi, do you know what helping her means?"
Chen Jiayi knew this, but she felt that the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce was the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and Lin Yuyao was Lin Yuyao.
If you make a mistake, you should take responsibility, shouldn't you?
Chen Qiming gave Chen Jiayi earnest advice.
“Jiayi, if you want to help others, you must first make yourself strong. Dad has so many brothers to support, why would you offend the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce for someone who is unrelated to you?”
"If I weren't your father, what would you do today? You helped her today, what can she give you in return? What do you have to give in return for helping her? Have you thought about these questions?"
Chen Jiayi was stunned. "But Dad, if everyone just stands by and does nothing, won't I be the one treated like this tomorrow?"
She said earnestly, "When I first found out that Ding Haowen and Li Yuzhu were having an affair, everyone said it was normal for men to cheat. But why is Wang Yu being treated like this when she wasn't a mistress and didn't cheat?"
Because she empathized with him, Chen Jiayi could understand Wang Yu's feeling of collapse.
Chen Qiming felt sorry for Chen Jiayi's past, but he also wanted to tell Chen Jiayi what reality is!
He saw that Chen Jiayi didn't understand what he meant.
Chen Qiming sighed and said softly, "Jiayi, what Dad means is, if you want to be a businessman, you have to be ruthless and heartless, understand?"
