Hearing this, Lin Chuan understood what was going on. He looked at Han Jiayin with serious eyes, "Is the person outside your current husband, the one who abused you, Bai Liang?"
Looking at those wounds, they really were a bit excessive.
Han Jiayin lowered her head and hummed in agreement. Seeing this, Qi Jiu was a little curious. How did the daughter of a nouveau riche, who was pampered and raised in the palm of her hand, end up like this?
"I see."
Lin Chuan glanced at Qi Jiu. Although he knew that their relationship was not good, he knew that the girl was not the type to act recklessly.
"Miss Qi, could you please keep an eye on her for me?"
Qi Jiu nodded. "Okay."
After Lin Chuan left, only Qi Jiu and Han Jiayin remained in the reception room. The girl looked at Han Jiayin's downcast eyes and unconsciously thought of how she looked before.
I remembered how she had provoked her in the classroom, and the moment Han Jiayin was surrounded by everyone, looking so smug. I remembered how she had looked so proud of herself in that little skirt.
Tsk, things have changed. Now, forget about making a living, I've offended almost everyone at school.
In this quiet environment, Han Jiayin didn't speak, and neither did Qi Jiu. She took out her phone and started playing with it by herself. As for what Lin Chuan had said earlier, as long as Han Jiayin didn't wander off, everything would be fine.
I thought the reception room would remain quiet, but Han Jiayin spoke first.
"Qi Jiu, if this hadn't happened, would we have become friends?"
The girl didn't even look up, her fingers continuing to scroll through her phone. "There are no 'ifs'."
Even if this hadn't happened, so what? Could she change her arrogant personality? Or would she simply stop caring about fame and fortune? Or would she no longer like He Qingfeng?
No, she is still herself, and they can't be friends.
If this one thing just doesn't happen, then thinking about it really won't do any good.
Han Jiayin stopped talking. She looked up at Qi Jiu, but didn't say a word.
After an unknown amount of time, the commotion outside subsided, and Lin Chuan returned.
Lin Chuan looked at Han Jiayin, who was silent and hanging her head as if she had been wronged, then glanced at Qi Jiu beside her. In that instant, their eyes seemed to speak volumes.
Lin Chuan: Did you bully her?
Qi Jiu Yi Xiao: Guess.
"..."
"Han Jiayin, your husband, Bai Liang, has come looking for you. We've spoken to him, so come out now. He won't dare to lay a hand on you."
Han Jiayin was taken aback, clutching her teacup tightly, unwilling to let go. But seeing that Qi Jiu seemed to be leaving, she decided not to linger any longer.
Once outside, they immediately saw Bai Liang surrounded by several police officers. Those who didn't know him would think he had been arrested.
Bai Liang was sitting on a chair outside. Although he seemed to be unharmed, the police officers surrounding him indicated that the fight had just taken place intensely.
"You were here after all!"
The moment Bai Liang saw Han Jiayin, he jumped up from his seat as if he had been electrocuted, startling Han Jiayin so much that she quickly hid behind him.
It was this action that made Bai Liang see the person next to him. His previously fiery temper had subsided, and he was now simply frowning as he looked at her.
"G, Teacher G?"
At this moment, Bai Liang was surrounded by police officers. Although they had communicated with him earlier, they were still startled by his sudden movement of getting up.
What are you doing here?
Bai Liang and Han Jiayin treated Qi Jiu in completely different ways. Bai Liang stumbled because of this incident. Although he wasn't very happy to be around Qi Jiu, he still maintained the proper manners.
It seems that she still holds hope for the school and the design guild.
"That's none of your business, but I heard you're abusive?"
Inside the interrogation room, Lin Chuan and Qi Jiu sat side by side.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally figured out the whole story.
It turns out that after the design competition ended, Han Jiayin discovered that she was pregnant. She originally wanted to keep it a secret, but unexpectedly, her parents found out by accident.
Under pressure from her parents, she had no choice but to tell them what happened, which is what Qi Jiu knew.
Han Jiayin's parents brought her to Bai Liang, demanding that he take responsibility for the child in her womb, which also led to the breakdown of Bai Liang and Liu Fang's marriage.
At first, the girl didn't understand why there was domestic violence. Was it because Bai Liang loved Liu Fang so much that he couldn't bear to let her leave? Of course not. If that were the case, how could he have cheated on her?
However, the reluctance to let him leave was also a factor, because Liu Fang was the one who provided the family with important financial support, while Bai Liang was just an ordinary university teacher with a fixed salary. He usually spent money lavishly on food and drink and couldn't save any money at all. In other aspects, he basically relied on Liu Fang.
Han Jiayin's parents did not provide much financial support after the two established their relationship.
This has led to a significant decline in his standard of living, which is evident just from Han Jiayin's clothing. Coupled with his work troubles, Han Jiayin has become his punching bag.
Looking at Han Jiayin, who remained silent beside her, the girl pursed her lips.
"I remember your family isn't short of money, so why doesn't your family help you out? If your parents knew you were living like this, could they really bear to see you like this?"
Although both sides are at fault, since they came to us in the first place, shouldn't the Han family consider the consequences? Now that things have already happened, they should consider everything more comprehensively.
With a broken marriage and no source of income, how could someone with Bai Liang's flawed personality possibly live a good life with your daughter?
Now that they've come knocking, they should have considered Bai Liang's intentions.
Speaking of this, Han Jiayin seemed to have found a breakthrough and suddenly let out a cold laugh.
“They gave him money. At first, my parents saw that Bai Liang had lost his job and gave him financial assistance, but he used it all to drink and gamble! Later, my parents stopped giving him money. Seeing that he was doing nothing all day, they regretted coming to him and wanted a divorce, but he wouldn’t agree.”
Lin Chuan was completely exasperated. Why torture each other like this?
Cheating is wrong, having a mistress is wrong, and domestic violence is even more wrong.
Neither of these two people has ever done a single right thing! This outcome can only be described as retribution for both of them.
Looking at Lin Chuan's suicidal face, the girl found it amusing. "Let's deal with the immediate problem first. Infidelity, marriage, divorce—those are matters for the courts."
In the end, Bai Liang was taught a lesson, but he still wouldn't budge on the idea of divorce.
Whether the two continue to torment each other or break up quickly is not something Qi Jiu cares about.
The sun was shining brightly that day.
