Chapter 64 Chapter 64 What about Fu Zhiyao?
After signing, Fu Zhiyao glanced at Yu Wan. Knowing she was still angry, he turned to Attorney Gao and said, "You basically understand the situation. We'll respect the woman's wishes as to how to proceed. It's up to her to decide whether to sue or not. Before we proceed, clearly explain the pros and cons of both options."
Lawyer Gao nodded, "I understand, Mr. Fu."
Although there was no surveillance camera in the box, the surveillance camera in the hotel corridor captured part of the incident. If Ms. Mao wanted to sue, in addition to the physical scars, she would also need to collect evidence of Su Yuan's infidelity as supporting evidence, but overall it would not be a difficult task.
Su Yuan's insistence on premeditated murder and excessive self-defense was nonsense, but it could scare young people like Secretary Yu and Ms. Wei who had no experience.
Upon hearing this, Yu Wan looked at Fu Zhiyao. The incandescent lights in the police station hall cast a cold white light. The man's facial features were particularly deep and outstanding under the light. His brow bones were high and sharp, with a faint shadow below his eyebrows. His narrow and dark eyes showed the same alienation and arrogance as always. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line, a gesture that Fu Zhiyao made when he was in a bad mood. Yu Wan wanted to thank him but hesitated, not knowing how to start.
It has only been half an hour since she called Secretary Cai. Does Fu Zhiyao already know so much information?
They also brought Lawyer Gao with them. Lawyer Gao is the gold medal lawyer of the Legal Department, specializing in contract lawsuits. It can be said that Lawyer Gao has never handled a case with a value of less than 50 million, and his loss rate is still zero.
Letting Lawyer Gao be in charge of the prosecution is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Yu Wan returned home calmly, and she suddenly realized that she had actually spoken more without thinking than Fu Zhiyao just now. When she was caught and scolded by Fu Zhiyao, her anger at being ignored for a long time suddenly erupted today, like a bloated balloon that was punctured and puffed with anger, wishing to let out all the air.
She felt the dizziness of drinking coming to her head belatedly.
She was being so rude. How would Fu Zhiyao react to her? Would he scold her again? Transfer her to another department? Or... fire her?
If she were to assume the worst-case scenario, would she be able to find a higher-paying job after leaving Fu's? Would she be able to meet more suitable colleagues and friends than she currently has? Would she be able to continue learning and improving like she is now?
Yu Wan looked at Fu Zhiyao's eyes, which changed from confusion to guilt to worry and fear, and kept changing without a clear conclusion. She pinched her fingers nervously.
Fu Zhiyao suddenly met Shang Yuwan's gaze and was stunned for two seconds. He didn't know whether he was talking to Lawyer Gao or to her, "It's getting late. Let them go home first. We can take our time with the lawsuit."
After saying that, Fu Zhiyao pushed open the glass door and strode out of the police station, leaving only his back to Yu Wan.
Yu Wan had a complicated expression, and her eyes subconsciously followed the other person as he left. Halfway down the stairs, the man suddenly stopped and turned his head.
Through a light green glass door, their eyes met in mid-air, and neither of them showed any intention of looking away.
After a while, Yu Wan's eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head first, with tears flashing in her eyes.
With Lawyer Gao around, the matter was resolved quite smoothly.
At first, the scumbag boss insisted that Mao Xinling seduced him and denied molesting and forcing Mao Xinling to have relationships with clients. However, after hearing the name of Lawyer Gao, his attitude gradually wavered. Lawyer Gao guided the other party to the family and company with just a few words, and the other party's psychological defense line was broken. He begged Mao Xinling to sign a letter of understanding, and was willing to pay 50,000 yuan in mental damages and bear Mao Xinling's medical expenses.
Mao Xinling can choose to sue. The scars of all sizes on her body are the best evidence. These were all caused by the scuffle today. In addition, Yu Wan came and called the police, so her chances of winning the lawsuit are also high.
Lawyer Gao gave the choice to Mao Xinling. Mao Xinling was torn between suing or not. Lawyer Gao understood Mao Xinling's concerns and told her that she could make the other party socially dead in another way after signing the letter of understanding.
Upon hearing this, Mao Xinling decisively chose the latter.
After receiving nearly 60,000 yuan in compensation, Mao Xinling couldn't tell whether he felt happy or depressed.
After settling the compensation issue and saying goodbye to Lawyer Gao, it was almost twelve o'clock, close to early morning. Not only would it waste time to let Mao Xinling go home across the district at this time, but she was also worried about leaving her alone in Mao Xinling's condition.
Therefore, long before coming to the police station, Yu Wan had sent a message to the landlord, Mr. Chen, asking if he could bring Mao Xinling home to stay for one night.
I thought it would take some time to get a taxi, but Uncle Wu was waiting in the car. When he saw the two people coming out of the police station, he welcomed them into the car.
Uncle Wu: "Secretary Yu, President Fu asked me to take you home safely. Just sit back and relax. Your home is not far from here and we'll be there soon."
"What about Fu Zhiyao?"
Yu Wan's question almost came out of her mouth, and she regretted it after she said it. Why did she call the boss's name in front of Uncle Wu?
My mind is really clouded by anger.
Uncle Wu didn't seem to notice the problem with the address and said directly, "Mr. Fu is in a nearby cafe. He asked his family driver to pick him up. Secretary Yu, you don't have to worry."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for troubling Uncle Wu."
Yu Wan thanked him and sat in the back seat with a confused mind. The neon lights outside the car window passed across Yu Wan's calm and sad face. Mao Xinling silently held her hand tightly.
Yu Wan tilted her head to look at her, and with difficulty pulled the corner of her mouth, "It's okay."
After arriving home, Yu Wan made Mao Xinling a cup of honey water to replenish her water and energy. There were always spare clean slippers and towels at home. The toothbrush and mouthwash utensils were an extra set that Yu brought back from the hotel when he returned from a business trip that night. As for a change of clothes, it was even simpler. There was a dryer in the bathroom, so Mao Xinling could just wear her pajamas at night.
While Mao Xinling was washing up, Yu Wan took out a clean thin blanket from the closet and spread it on the bed. The bed was a double bed, more than enough for her and Mao Xinling to sleep.
After washing up, the two of them lay down in the soft quilt in the air-conditioned room, feeling refreshed. Mao Xinling rubbed the blanket that smelled of laundry detergent, feeling so happy that she wanted to cry. She said, "I can brag to Lai Yanxu and the others later that I'm the first person to share a bed with Yu Wan."
Seeing that Mao Xinling wasn't bothered by her scumbag boss, Yu Wan felt a little more at ease. Lying on her side, she looked at her and joked, "Then I'll build a big bunk bed in my house. We can have as many people as we want and chat as late as we want."
Mao Xinling smiled, tears welling up in her eyes. She sincerely thanked Yu Wan, "Yu Wan, thank you so much for what happened today. If it weren't for you, I would probably feel ashamed of being harassed."
So when she was forced by Su Yuan, Mao Xinling did not choose to call the police immediately because she was afraid that the matter would become a big deal. Although she did not suffer actual persecution, she knew that because of her female identity, all the rumors would eventually rush towards her, and she was not mentally strong enough.
Mao Xinling's voice was slightly tearful: "Yu Wan, do you think I'm too cowardly? I should have sued Su Yuan, but I chose to settle."
In addition to the aroma of blanket laundry detergent, Yu Wan's nose also smelled the pungent smell of the blood-dissolving ointment on Mao Xinling's body. She knew the scars of resistance on Mao Xinling's body, but she was not Mao Xinling, so how could she evaluate Mao Xinling?
Yu Wan pondered for a moment and spoke, "Su Yuan threatened you, but you noticed something was wrong in time. When he tried to force you, you resisted and evaded him, and you called me for help. That's not cowardice. True courage doesn't necessarily mean facing fear. You protected yourself, both physically and in reputation. That's courage. This option now allows me to get compensation and have Lawyer Gao help me make Su Yuan socially dead. This might be a better way than suing and openly confronting Su Yuan in court."
Humans are social animals, and Mao Xinling's concerns are perfectly normal. There is no need for Yu Wan to criticize Mao Xinling's choice at this time.
Mao Xinling's voice was a little hoarse. She nodded her head desperately, trying to suppress the soreness in her throat. "Yu Wan, you don't look the same now as when you first entered university. You've changed a lot."
Yu Wan asked her, "Is it a good change or a bad change?"
Mao Xinling's tone was conflicted. "...You can't say that. Actually, you've always been very good."
Mao Xinling had just started living in the dormitory as a freshman, and her roommates were from four different majors. She was not used to it and felt uncomfortable. Therefore, she did not intend to get along well with other people in the dormitory at the beginning. She just wanted to be an ordinary roommate. She had no impression of Yu Wan, who had an ordinary appearance, an introverted personality and was not good at socializing. Mao Xinling felt that she would not be friends with her.
Until one time when she went out to attend class and dried her quilt, it started to rain heavily in the middle of the class. Mao Xinling said something to the teacher, hurried to the dormitory in the rain, and finally found that her quilt had been taken away.
When she returned to the dormitory, Yu Wan was reading at her desk. Seeing her, she was a little surprised: "I have already put away your quilt for you. I sent you a message to remind you. Did you not have time to check it?"
Mao Xinling didn't answer.
It’s not that she didn’t have time to read it. She had set the Do Not Disturb function for her three roommates, so naturally she didn’t know that Yu Wan had sent her a message.
After that, Yu Wan was upgraded from an ordinary roommate to a very good roommate in Mao Xinling's heart. Unlike the other two roommates who liked to talk on the phone for three or four hours or play games loudly, Yu Wan always sat quietly in a chair reading and studying. On weekends, she would either go out to work part-time to make money or participate in various volunteer activities and competitions. Her small body seemed to have endless energy, which made Mao Xinling very envious.
But it was difficult for Mao Xinling to express her request to make friends with the other party, because Yu Wan was not a talkative person and had a quiet and introverted personality. She also didn't know what other hobbies Yu Wan had besides studying and making money. As a result, for a long time, their relationship had been at the stage of ordinary roommates who could talk to each other and help each other pick up express deliveries.
Until graduation from her senior year, the other two roommates moved out, leaving only her and Yu Wan in the dormitory.
One night, Yu Wan developed a high fever and lay unconscious in bed. Mao Xinling only discovered her when she woke up in the morning. She frantically took care of Yu Wan, placing a towel on her forehead to cool her down, feeding her glucose water, and buying and administering medicine to her...
During this time, Yu Wan was heard muttering nonsensical words like "Why me? I don't want it".
The next day, Yu Wan recovered and became like a normal person, except that she went out more often. After that, Yu Wan began to look for a job seriously and her personality became more cheerful day by day, which made Mao Xinling confused but also happy about her changes.
Because she can happily make friends with Yu Wan.
