"Professor, how could you do this?"
Pan Li, who had just given birth, had a swollen face, a sallow complexion, and obvious pregnancy spots on her cheeks. She no longer had the beautiful appearance of the pure goddess at the music conservatory.
Tears still hung on Pan Li's face, and she looked stunned. She couldn't accept that Fang Ping would say such a thing.
Fang Ping's face was filled with disgust. "Why can't I do this? I'm the victim. I'm lucky I didn't cause you any trouble, but you still have the nerve to come to my door? You really have no sense of shame!"
Of course it is a shame to be someone's mistress, and Pan Li is not unaware of this.
It was just that when she went astray for the first time, she asked Fang Ping for help, and Fang Ping protected Pan Li and lightly passed over the mistakes she had made. Pan Li did not suffer much, and naturally lost the opportunity to reform herself.
When Pan Li made the same mistake again, Fang Ping stood by and watched coldly, no longer helping, and wanted to confront Pan Li. Pan Li naturally couldn't accept it and couldn't help but blame Fang Ping:
"I have no sense of shame. You were a professor and I was a student, and you never taught me the correct sense of right and wrong, or what it felt like to have a sense of shame... Oh, I see. Because I wasn't your husband's mistress at the time, the knife didn't cut your flesh, so you didn't feel any pain. Fang Ping, you're such a hypocritical woman. You don't deserve to be a professor anymore. Do you know how much of a failure you are? In fact, no one wants to take your class because they want to save face for your husband, Duan Quanchang!"
Without the cover of her youthful and beautiful appearance, Pan Li's ugly heart is becoming increasingly exposed.
Since Fang Ping wouldn't help, Pan Li had no worries and knew what kind of words could attack Fang Ping.
These words really stabbed into Fang Ping's heart like a knife.
Fang Ping wanted to resign from her teaching position not only because she could not bear the rumors, but also for the reasons Pan Li mentioned.
It was not until today that Fang Ping was able to think about things rationally.
I wonder how much of my so-called achievements at work are due to Duan Quanchang.
Hunan Satellite TV invited her to be a judge on the talent show, not because of her professional ability, but because of her relationship with Duan Quanchang.
It was for the same reason that Mr. Guan asked her to be the album producer and later Xu Mei's agent.
When she was a judge on a talent show, Fang Ping was quite conscientious.
Then she became arrogant. After being a judge, she wanted to be an album producer. However, it turned out that Fang Ping's production skills were not very good, and Xu Mei's album did not become a big hit.
The producer didn’t understand that Fang Ping wanted to be an agent...and her performance as an agent was even worse!
Going back further, was it Duan Quanchang who helped her get promoted to professor at the Conservatory of Music?
There was no one around in the middle of the night, and Fang Ping had nightmares several times, waking up in a cold sweat.
Fang Ping looks back on the first half of her life. Her marriage failed, she was a bad parent, and if even her career depended entirely on men, then her entire first half of her life would have been a failure!
This has almost become Fang Ping's inner obsession. She doesn't know how many years it will take for her to break free. Now that Pan Li has punctured her apparent calmness, Fang Ping's heart is in turmoil.
After a while, Fang Ping calmed down and laughed at herself:
"You're right. I advised others to be magnanimous before the knife fell on me. I didn't feel the pain until the knife cut my flesh. So I'm really not worthy of being a teacher. Now my family is broken and my career is wiped out. This is God's retribution for me! My retribution has come, and I am willing to accept it. You know the truth and maliciously broke up other people's families. Your retribution has also come. Take it yourself!"
After Fang Ping finished speaking, she slammed the door shut.
Pan Li was stunned for a moment, then knocked on the door and begged in a pitiful manner.
The neighbors were all peeking in and pointing at Pan Li, but Pan Li was so thick-skinned that she pretended those people didn't exist.
Fang Ping kept pacing in circles in the room.
Let the neighbors say whatever they want. We are moving away anyway, and the most urgent thing is to get Pan Li away!
Fang Ping initially wanted to call the police, but then she thought that the police couldn't follow her 24 hours a day to stop Pan Li from harassing her, so she couldn't just call the police.
After taking a few deep breaths, Fang Ping called the school.
The Conservatory of Music has students' admission information. The files of expelled students like Pan Li are managed separately, making them faster to find.
Fang Ping quickly found what she wanted.
"...Thank you, it's too much trouble. I'll treat you to dinner later."
Many colleagues at the Conservatory of Music knew about Fang Ping's divorce. Her former student had an affair with her husband, got divorced, and reported her ex-husband. Colleagues were also discussing it privately.
Fang Ping would not have asked her colleagues to look up information unless she was forced into a corner by Pan Li.
It will be easy once you find the information. First call Pan Li’s parents, then call 110 to report the crime!
It has been a long time since Pan Li's parents heard that they had lost their daughter.
In the past, when Pan Li was working in Hunan Province, she still kept in touch with her family. After her affair with Duan Quanchang was exposed, Pan Li hid herself away to take care of her pregnancy, holding her breath to get promoted, and she didn't even contact her parents on weekdays.
For several months, Pan Li's parents have been looking for their daughter. Today, they finally got the news and rushed here as quickly as possible.
The police from the police station arrived first. By the time Pan Li's parents arrived, the police had already grasped the situation, including Fang Ping's account and the neighbors' supplements. After hearing what Pan Li had done, Pan Li's parents were unable to raise their heads in front of everyone.
Pan's mother covered her face and cried bitterly, and Pan's father also cried.
"Dad, Mom..."
When the police arrived, Pan Li was still slumped in front of Fang Ping's house. Only after seeing her parents did Pan Li feel ashamed.
Looking at his embarrassed daughter, Pan's father felt ashamed and heartbroken, tears welled up in his eyes. He couldn't help but slap Pan Li twice.
"You've brought shame upon the Pan family!"
"When children do something wrong, parents should educate them properly instead of beating them."
When the police stopped him, Mr. Pan sobbed.
The first time Pan Li became a mistress, her mother couldn't do business at the farmers' market, and her father was too embarrassed to continue going to work. The couple's means of making a living were cut off, and they could only do odd jobs to make a living.
Unexpectedly, Pan Li made the mistake again.
What should I do now?
With her studies unfinished, her record stained, and a child born out of wedlock, Pan Li's parents were too embarrassed to continue living in Chengdu, let alone find odd jobs.
Pan's father beat his daughter, then apologized to Fang Ping through the door, saying that he would take Pan Li and the child back to his hometown as soon as possible and would never let Pan Li disturb Fang Ping again.
Pan Li covered her swollen face and cried, her hair disheveled and she looked very miserable. She cried and shouted that she didn't want to go back to her hometown, which was poor and remote, and they still used dry toilets. She had to change several buses to get to the city.
How could Pan's father listen to her? It was precisely because the place was poor, remote and had inconvenient transportation that he could keep an eye on Pan Li and prevent her from running around.
This child has grown up astray, and Father Pan is not sure whether he can correct his bad habits. At least by keeping a close eye on him, he won't bring harm to another family.
Pan Li's parents forcibly took the child away. Fang Ping later heard that Pan Li's parents went to the hospital to settle the hospital bills and took the child away. Fang Ping didn't know whether the child was given away or kept by the Pan family. Fang Ping never saw Pan Li again for the rest of her life.
The story of one Pan Li has ended, but the stories of other "Pan Lis" are still happening. Fang Ping doesn't understand what's wrong with this society. The status of women has obviously been improved, and they have opportunities to study and find jobs. Why are there still so many young girls who always want to get something for nothing?
