"Where have you been? Your father is in trouble now, and the family needs someone. Not only are you gloating over his death, but you're also out fooling around. Are you with that guy from before? How can you be so shameless? You go out with just any guy who asks you out! I doubt he even lent you the money he gave you before—"
Not every woman is suited to be a mother. Ye Zhiwei has seen too many great mothers who are willing to sacrifice even their lives for their daughters. But this woman not only vents her temper on her daughter, but also insults the little girl by calling her a "slut" or a "bitch" when there is a man around her who is willing to lend a helping hand when she is in trouble.
Ye Zhiwei was stunned. The girl also clenched her hands. She seemed equally shocked that the boy who used to work with her had reached out to help her out of concern after learning of her father's death. He had come over several times to bring her snacks and comfort her, and even lent her his savings of tens of thousands of yuan. In the end, he received such humiliation from her mother.
The family favored sons over daughters. The mother focused her attention on the father and her son. She always instilled in her daughter the idea that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, what's the use of a girl studying so much, and that her husband is a woman's lifelong destiny. Marriage is the only way for a woman to change her life.
Ye Zhiwei sensed Anna's embarrassment, so she immediately pretended not to know and even got up and moved to another place to prevent the girl's mother from saying anything that would make the girl lose face.
She finally ended the call.
Her eyes were red, not from the helplessness she felt when she was desperate before, but clearly from the words her mother said on the phone. She had been feeling overwhelmed by life lately, and her mother's words made her feel suffocated and miserable. Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder why her mother had given birth to her.
Anna took a deep breath and said as if nothing had happened, "Miss Ye, I have some things to take care of at home, so I may have to leave early."
"Wait for me a moment."
Ye Zhiwei immediately called the contact person, and about ten minutes later, the other party brought a bank card with a PIN on it. She handed it directly to Anna, took a deep breath, and said, "Consider the money in here as a loan to you. Take it for emergencies. I only have one request: don't let your mother know about this money. Just use it when you need it."
Anna was shocked. After receiving the money, she immediately thanked her profusely, "I will definitely pay you back in the future, and I will only use it for necessary expenses. I will give you the rest immediately. Miss Ye, I am really, really grateful to you."
Ye Zhiwei sighed, but Anna seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Miss Ye, I heard..."
"What did you hear?"
"The person who caused the accident works as a driver for a wealthy family, and seems to be quite powerful and influential. Is that driver really capable of..."
Ye Zhiwei said to Anna, "We live in a society governed by the rule of law. Although there are indeed some unfair practices, most cases will be handled according to the law. If you are not satisfied with the final judgment of the court of first instance, you can request the procuratorate to file an appeal."
After hearing Ye Zhiwei's explanation, Anna breathed a sigh of relief and left.
Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but wonder whether the rule of law was inadequate or whether the public lacked understanding of the law and had little faith in it, leading them to believe that even wealthy people's drivers could evade legal punishment.
While it's true that some people can exploit legal loopholes to do such things, justice will prevail most of the time.
However, Anna's incident left Ye Zhiwei with a lingering doubt. She was somewhat surprised that the perpetrator was actually a driver from a wealthy family. Could there be another possibility that there was another person in the car at the time?
Ye Zhiwei immediately contacted someone she knew to help find out which company's driver was responsible for the accident. She then returned to Ye Qingcheng's hospital room and briefly mentioned that the girl had come to see Ye Qingcheng last time and that she had helped deal with it.
Ye Qingcheng knew that Ye Zhiwei didn't want him to worry about these things, so he nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
That evening, Ye Zhiwei received a reply: the driver who caused the accident worked for the Qin family, a family of pharmacists, and was usually responsible for picking up and dropping off the eldest daughter of the Qin family, Qin Manshu.
Qin Manshu?
Ye Zhiwei felt that the name sounded a little familiar, and thought that they might be people in the same industry. She must have heard someone mention it before, so it was possible that it sounded familiar.
The person who helped Ye Zhiwei investigate this matter told her: This Qin Manshu has a very good personality. She seems to get along well with the people working under her. She is a very gentle young lady.
Ye Zhiwei was taken aback; this didn't quite match what she had expected.
After learning that Qin Manshu's family was also in the pharmaceutical business, Ye Zhiwei immediately wondered if Bai Zhi knew Qin Manshu. She sat on the sofa and sent a message to Bai Zhi.
Ye Zhiwei: Are you there? Bai Zhi, do you... know Qin Manshu from the Qin family?
The other party is probably busy and hasn't replied to her yet.
Ye Zhiwei put her phone away, still thinking about Qin Manshu. The name sounded really familiar. She thought for a moment and then searched for this young lady online. To her surprise, she actually found her.
She must have been involved in the management of the family business. She was at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. She was dignified and elegant, very beautiful, and had excellent poise. She smiled gracefully when she stood in the middle, giving people the feeling of a well-bred lady from a wealthy family, as if she were a socialite from a family of doctors, exuding the fragrance of medicine.
I've never seen this person before, because they look unfamiliar.
Ye Zhiwei propped her chin up and continued to look through some photos of Qin Manshu attending events. She had attended many high-end events and had also represented the pharmaceutical industry as an ambassador at some seminars. All of these showed that she was very accomplished.
Bai Zhi quickly replied to Ye Zhiwei: Why are you suddenly asking me about Sister Manshu?
Sister Manshu?
It seems that Bai Zhi and Qin Manshu not only know each other, but are also very familiar with each other.
Ye Zhiwei pressed on: "Are you two on good terms?"
Bai Zhi immediately replied: Yes, we have a very good relationship. Sister Manshu is a very nice person, very gentle and generous. I have always looked up to Sister Manshu. If you spend some time with Sister Manshu, you will definitely like her too. And Sister Manshu will be very happy to know that you want to get to know her!
Ye Zhiwei asked with a smile: "Do you think everyone would be happy to know me?"
Bai Zhi immediately replied: "That's different. You're Ji Shuli's cousin, and Ji Shuli's favorite cousin at that. Sister Manshu can't possibly—"
The conversation abruptly ended there, and Ye Zhiwei immediately sent a bunch of question marks.
Bai Zhi seemed to realize she had said something wrong, so she not only retracted the message but also sent an apologetic emoji: I sent the wrong message~
Ye Zhiwei: What kind of despicable person is this? He only got halfway through the gossip and then stopped talking!
