Wan Ge sighed: "Kindness is not a bad thing, but sometimes your kindness may lead to the rampant growth of evil in others. Don't try to use kindness to persuade bad people to change their ways; they will only take advantage of your kindness."
There are many such cases in society. Some people take advantage of girls' kindness and compassion. In fact, these are just methods of human trafficking.
You can be kind when you won't get hurt, but it's best to have some boundaries in everyday life. It's not that I don't trust the safety of society, it's just that I need to know how to protect myself.
Yao Jingzhi said softly, "I understand."
Hearing their conversation, the middle-aged woman's expression became even more complicated, and her attitude completely changed: "Zhizhi, don't believe her. She's just an outsider. We're the family."
“But Auntie… she’s an outsider, yet she still wanted to help me. What about you?” The more Yao Jingzhi thought about it, the more she felt that Wan Ge was right. She wanted to tell her father about this.
The middle-aged woman seemed to think that the matter was settled and that Yao Jingzhi would definitely tell her father. She had gone through the whole thing in her mind and finally decided that the fact that the other party had installed surveillance cameras showed that they did not trust her, so there was no point in saying anything.
Finally, in a fit of anger, he raised his hand to slap Wan Ge.
But a slender hand swung away, and the middle-aged woman took a step back.
Wan Ge looked up and saw a familiar face: "Husband."
Ye Zhi patted his wife's head: "Why did you run out? Dinner's ready, let's go home."
"Okay." After answering, Wan Ge said goodbye to Yao Jingzhi and left.
Yao Jingzhi made a phone call to her father, then quietly returned to her room.
…
On the way home, Ye Zhi asked Wan Ge beside him, "Do you know that girl?"
Wan Ge shook her head: "I don't know her. I saw that girl being bullied by her stepmother, so I helped her out."
"Stepmother?" This wasn't the first time Ye Zhi had heard this term.
When he was quite young, many aunties said they wanted to be his mother. But so many years have passed, and his father... has never remarried.
"Yes, it's obvious at a glance."
"What do you think a stepmother is like?" Ye Zhi suddenly asked.
Wan Ge then replied to the person in front of her: "It's hard to say. Not all stepmothers are bad. These things are usually fifty-fifty."
Some people might encounter wonderful stepmothers, even better than their biological mothers. Others might encounter terrible stepmothers, with all the trauma of their childhood stemming from them. So it's really hard to say.
Wan Ge added, "I heard that Dad divorced a long time ago and hasn't remarried since. Maybe he's worried that you might be bullied."
Or perhaps she worries that he might overthink things, or even be unwilling to have any more children.
"Will it?" Ye Zhi didn't know either.
"Hmm, I feel like Dad cares about you a lot, but... your relationship is a bit complicated."
"Why do I feel like he cares about me?" He didn't care when I was a child, and now that I'm grown up... he hasn't communicated with me much.
"Haven't you noticed? Dad is always so careful around you." It's as if he's afraid of doing something wrong that might upset him.
"Really?" Ye Zhi thought about it seriously after hearing this, realizing that he had never actually observed it before.
