As she spoke, Ms. Zhuang's voice gradually faded. It was obvious that her relationship with Hua Er had caused considerable damage to her heart. At least she was not as confident as before. When faced with the care of her family, the first thing she thought of was not to act coquettishly with her family, but to cause trouble for them.
Oh.
""
Well, this is indeed an example of someone successfully escaping a violent man and even taking a piece of his flesh from him. But in reality, it's not advisable. Not only would it be difficult for the sisters to guarantee the safety of the hired girl, but the wife's subtle persuasion of her husband to pursue the girl is also unreasonable. The wife was already terrified by her husband's beatings and was usually cautious in her interactions with him. Mustering the courage to come to her sister was a complete drain on her.
How could her sister's brief plan transform her into a completely different person, proactively planning for her husband? Could words even influence her husband's perspective? There were a few scenes of daily conversations between husband and wife, but Li Xi couldn't help but feel that her wife now had a different personality than before she met her sister. One had been beaten to a pulp, the other was full of calculations and insight.
Explaining it simply as a change of attitude, a rebirth from the ashes, is a bit far-fetched. It seems the screenwriter's skills need improvement.
Li Xi complained while eating the wontons cooked by Aunt Lin. Although the plot of the TV series was not very reasonable, it also gave Li Xi inspiration. It was about violence, and only text and pictures made it less shocking.
After eating the wontons, Li Xi made another decision. She wanted Ms. Zhuang to shoot a video and personally tell about her experience of domestic violence, and at the same time show the scars on her body to the public.
Before marrying Hua Ershao, Ms. Zhuang was a relatively well-known online celebrity. A skilled violinist, she joined a national orchestra early on, often traveling with them to perform. Just before their marriage, the orchestra even considered promoting her to principal. This speaks volumes about her skill.
Ms. Zhuang, with her bright and beautiful appearance and elegant temperament, has a large number of her personal candid videos circulating online. She has also registered a personal Weibo account and a short video account, and has updated a number of videos. Although she rarely interacts with her fans, her posts receive a lot of likes, comments, and reposts.
But after getting married, Hua Er Shao didn't like her public appearances, so he asked her to decline the invitation to be the concertmaster of the orchestra and stopped her from updating her status. He said, "If others see your beauty, I'll be jealous." Little did the young girl, who was in love, know that this wasn't jealousy, nor even the "possessiveness" that netizens were clamoring for, but simply a desire for control.
As for Hua Ershao's situation, perhaps there's even a hint of jealousy. Painting and violin playing are both artistic pursuits, but one is a genuine talent, possessing both technique and emotion. The other was forced into a life of its own. While his technique has reached a masterful level, everyone who sees him praises his vividness, yet his work lacks soul, barely distinguishable from a photograph.
In fact, Hua Ershao was jealous of Ms. Zhuang, but he hid it well, deceiving everyone and himself. Only when drunk did he reveal his innermost thoughts. He was dark because of jealousy, resentful because of frustration, and violent because of loss of control.
Ms. Zhuang, who faced Hua Ershao's emotions directly, should be the one who knows his character and his darkest thoughts best, so her personal account of the story is most likely to resonate with netizens.
Having made the decision, the next step was to wait for Luo Jingxuan to take action. With nothing else to do, Li Xi researched more information on domestic violence, hoping to convince Ms. Zhuang to join him during their first meeting.
Not even a few days later, Luo Jingxuan informed Li Xi that she could go see Ms. Zhuang. Li Xi wanted to ask Luo Jingxuan how it worked, but Assistant Jiang, who came to pick her up, smiled and said nothing, only telling her her "identity" this time - a psychologist.
Drawing on her years of experience reading literature, Li Xi made a bold guess. Luo Jingxuan likely sought someone to persuade Ms. Zhuang's parents, stating that Ms. Zhuang's mental state was deteriorating and that it would be best to see a psychiatrist. Then, someone else recommended a psychiatrist to Ms. Zhuang's parents—Li Xi. Of course, the person they sought wasn't the one who directly persuaded or recommended her, but rather, someone who went through many twists and turns, ultimately leading to Li Xi's visit to Ms. Zhuang.
If Li Xi guessed correctly, the "psychological counseling room" she currently works for is probably quite famous in the industry.
Oh, damn capitalism.
Complaints aside, cooperation is still required. In order to become a qualified "psychologist", Li Xi put away her usual casualness, sat upright, and put on a warm smile.
Assistant Jiang took Li Xi to get her makeup done mid-sentence. She changed into a white shirt and black trousers, and black flats. Her hair was tied into a simple half ponytail, and she wore no extra hair accessories except a black scrunchie. Coupled with Li Xi's seemingly warm fake smile, it looked quite convincing.
Assistant Jiang did not take Li Xi directly to the Zhuang family, but instead took her to a club with antique decoration. Assistant Jiang did not get out of the car, but let Li Xi go in by herself. After Li Xi went in, she told the waiter Ms. Zhuang's name and was taken to a private room.
Li Xi knocked on the door, and after receiving a response, she pushed it open and walked in. Ms. Zhuang was the only one in the room. She didn't know what Luo Jingxuan's people had said to the Zhuang family, so they actually let Ms. Zhuang meet with a stranger alone.
"Hello, Ms. Zhuang, my name is Li Xi." Li Xi greeted with a smile, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Ms. Zhuang.
Ms. Zhuang's mental state was still not very good. Her face was pale and her lips were bloodless. But her eyes were clear, and she didn't look like someone who was still stuck in the past.
