At this moment, I also understood why the current Chen Ting is so different from the long-haired and gentle image in her resume.
Fortunately, Chen Fan was only attracted by her beauty. Ever since Chen Ting changed her appearance, he gradually lost interest in her.
However, Chen Fan did not let Chen Ting go. After discovering Chen Ting's excellent business ability, he asked her to concentrate on working for him, and even took Chen Ting with him when he changed jobs.
Chen Ting wiped her tears and smiled bitterly. "After so many years, I'm used to it. If he wants me to change jobs with him, I'll follow him. After all, I can make some money working for him. As long as Chen Fan stops harassing me and doesn't expose my photos, I can accept anything."
Chen Ting has compromised with the evil forces.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel angry.
Chen Ting is clearly a victim, but she has been oppressed for too long and is now numb to Chen Fan's abuse.
I angrily questioned Chen Ting, "So what are you going to do? Are you going to be controlled by him like this for the rest of your life?"
"I... I can't do anything." Chen Ting lowered her head. "He has my photo in his hand..."
"So what if the photos are exposed? It's the 21st century now. Are you still planning to build a chastity arch for yourself?"
It’s not that I don’t understand Chen Ting’s concerns, but allowing Chen Fan to manipulate her is simply aiding and abetting evil, and there is no end to it.
Chen Ting remained silent.
I continued, "Chen Ting, everyone's eyes are sharp now. No one will think you're indecent. The one who should be condemned is Chen Fan! If he really dares to expose your photos, he'll be imprisoned for life in minutes."
"Besides, didn't Chen Fan fail? What are you afraid of? Ruining your innocence? Tarnishing your reputation? Or public opinion blaming you? You shouldn't let yourself be drawn into victim-blaming. These imaginary things won't affect your life, but if you continue to be coerced by Chen Fan, your life will truly be ruined."
My words made Chen Ting hesitate, but she still couldn't muster up the courage.
She smiled bitterly and sneered, "You're just a bystander, so of course it's easy for you to say it. How could you possibly not care at all?"
I looked at her calmly and told her frankly, "I'm not a bystander. I'm advising you this because I've been through the same thing as you."
Chen Ting was stunned and looked at me in disbelief: "Are you serious? You're not trying to fool me, are you?"
I smiled with relief. "Six years ago, when I first started working, a colleague got me drunk and betrayed me to a client. Someone filmed us naked in a KTV. Later, someone used that video to threaten me. I got scared, and at first, like you, I kept compromising, thinking that would save my marriage."
Chen Ting was surprised for a moment, and then she seemed to think about something. "But you are... still divorced now?"
I nodded and told her seriously, "Yes, I compromised for so long and was played around by the person who threatened me. Looking back now, the only thing I regret is not calling the police and punishing the person who threatened me immediately. So, Chen Ting, you should also be brave. We are never the ones who do wrong, and we should not be the ones who are punished. Those who love us will not laugh at our injuries, and why should we care about the opinions of those who don't love us?"
