Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 73 Unexpected Storm

A female PhD has endured domestic violence for a decade. Her husband abuses her as long as he drinks wine. Although her husband knees to her for forgiveness after his abuse, he would backslide to the old habit next time.

“Haven’t you thought about turning to the police for help?” Yan Hua asks her.

She quickly replies: “I have no chance to call the police every time he beats me. And when I get the chance after his abuse, I’m reluctant to do it.”

“But you have to know that he will beat you again.” Yan Hua is surprised.

She always thinks that this kind of thing will only happens to those people with low cultural quality. They are ignorant of laws for their illiteracy, not knowing how to protect themselves.

“Do your colleagues know about it? What about your leaders? No one cares about it?”

“They don’t know,” she says. “The only one who knows about it is my mother. Even my dad doesn’t know.”

“What did your mother say?”

“My mother said that every couple will quarrel with each other. And they will stay together forever if they’re mutually tolerant.”

Yan Hua: “...”

“Well, do you take any photos? The evidence he beats you.” She feels that maybe it’s just a small quarrel since her mother said so.

She quickly sends a few photos. Each one is so appalling that Yan Hua finds it hard to breathe, sending questions to her with her hands trembling.

“This is very serious domestic violence. How can you endure it for ten years?”

In these photos, her face is black and blue, her eyes narrowing into lines for beat. One of her arms gets black totally and there is even a wound on her shoulder which is made by a knife or something else. There is no part that looks good on her body.

“Would you like to meet me?” Yan Hua asks. “You can see the address of our office on micro blog. Do you have time?”

The woman suddenly falls into silence. Yan Hua is anxious and says: “Your husband absolutely has mental disease. If you continue to tolerate him, one day, he will kill you.”

The woman still keeps silence. Yan Hua feels depressed, but when she is about to give up, the woman replies her.

“I don’t want to let others know, so we can meet at another place. I am busy with work these days. I will meet you on the weekend.”

“OK! Then I will wait for you. You must meet me.”

After a few more minutes, the other party replies to her.

“I will only meet you. Don’t come with others.”

“Don’t worry. I will go there alone!”

Since that, the woman does not have any other movements. Yan Hua immediately calls Fei Ying, tells her the whole story briefly and then shows her those photos.

“What the hell! How can she tolerate it for ten years? She is even a PhD?” Fei Ying feels that the world is a fantasy. “She lives like a fake PhD...”

“She fears that people know her story, so you cannot tell others. We’ll see how to solve it after I meet her.”

Because of this incident, Yan Hua is in very low spirits, but she still tries to make herself happy in front of Gungun. However, Lang Ruoxian notices that something is wrong with her. This day, he comes to knock on her door after dinner.

“What happens to you?” The man comes in.

Yan Hua doesn’t hide it and tells the fact to him. At the end, she squeezes a smile: “My thought is too simple. The subjects of our foundation are women who have suffered misfortunes. But it is possible that in the future we will meet other women who may suffer something more serious than domestic violence.”

She can’t be affected by these things every time, and if so, she will collapse first sooner or later.

“Since you understand this in your mind, then you should keep yourself unaffected by this. Otherwise, you should stop the operation of the foundation.”

Yan Hua nods: “Give me some time, and I will adjust my mood.”

On Friday, Yan Hua is waiting for the call of the female PhD all the time, but the PhD doesn’t call her. Instead, Shu Yafei calls her.

“Yan Hua, shall we have a meal tomorrow afternoon?” Shu Yafei asks her: “Do you have time?”

Yan Hua is not sure if the female PhD will make an appointment with her, and when she is about to say that they can meet next time, Shu Yafei says to her over the phone.

“I get my salary today. This is my first salary! I want to invite my important friends and have a meal together.”

“Okay.” Yan Hua thinks for a moment and agrees.

Shu Yafei is very happy: “I will send you the name and address of the restaurant!”

The female PhD does not call her. Yan Hua is disappointed about this. The next day when she is eating with Shu Yafei, Shu Yafei says that she sees her foundation on micro blog.

“You are so great!” Shu Yafei praises her. “You know, many female colleagues in my company say that you are awesome and that you are doing good things.”

Yan Hua: “I’m just doing something within my ability. But it may provide timely help to others.”

“Do you need help?” Shu Yafei suddenly says, “I can help you! And I can see the yacht at the same time. I haven’t seen it yet.”

“Don’t you need to work?”

Shu Yafei takes a sip of the juice: “The place where I live is behind the yacht club. I can go there after work or on weekends. You will pay me salary, right?”

“Of course.” Thinking that she is trying to earn some extra money, Yan Hua feels it not a big thing. “Then you go there on weekends because you will work too late on weekdays. I will pay you 200 yuan a day.”

Shu Yafei happily holds the juice and proposes a toast to her: “Great, I will do my best!”

“In fact, there is nothing complicated.” Seeing that she has tremendous spirits, Yan Hua explains to her. “You just need to sort out the information and contact lawyers. If no one asks for help, the work is even more leisure.”

“Then I will clean up.” Shu Yafei pats her breast and says: “I will not get the salary without equal efforts!”

It is on Sunday afternoon that the female PhD finally gives a call. She asks to meet Yan Hua at a tea house in the evening. Yan Hua hangs up the phone and calls the office on the yacht.

“Hello!”

Hearing this voice, she is stunned for a moment and then answers: “Yafei? You have started the work already?”

“It’s Yan Hua! Yes, I come to help this morning.”

Yan Hua doesn’t think too much: “Please ask them whether they have prepared the suggestions and materials which I have asked them to prepare about domestic violence offered by lawyer.”

“It’s done. I just printed them.”

“I have no time to go there. You can send the electronic edition to my email.”

“OK! I will send it to you right away.”

Hanging up the phone, Yan Hua is about to set out. She receives the information sent by Shu Yafei halfway and reads it carefully for fear that she may make mistakes or be stuck for words.

At the designated tea house, Yan Hua sees a tall woman in a windbreaker sitting in the corner of the last line, with a scarf on her neck. It’s her. Yan Hua walks over and sits opposite her.

“Hello, I am Yan Hua.”

The woman with black-rimmed glasses has fair skin. Unlike the nerd, she has the beauty of mildness. You can know that she is a very tender woman at first glance.

“He...Hello, my name is Shi Jing.”

Then Yan Hua seems to have heard an evolutionary history of a man changing from a loyal dog to a scum man and a tragic story of a girl changing into a young woman who finally gives up love and marriage.

“You find me because you want to change the present situation, right?” Yan Hua encourages her. “I will provide you all the legal help. Do you want to get divorced or prosecute him? What do you think?”

Shi Jing looks blank: “I... I don’t know.”

Having been bullied and abused for a long time, she has become a numb person. She does not even know why she will come to meet Yan Hua this time.

“You have to know.” Yan Hua takes her hand. “A decade. Just imagine that you will live in this fear for the second decade, the third decade and even until you die. Do you want this?”

“No... I don’t want this...” Shi Jing puts her head in her hands. “I don’t want this...”

“Then you can rebel against it!” Yan Hua pours her a cup of hot tea: “If you agree, we will help you write the materials and find a lawyer right away. You don’t have to come out. You just need to sign a letter of authorization.”

Shi Jing looks at her: “I want to send him to jail.”

“It’s okay!”

This is the first person who seeks help from the foundation, so everyone is very active. They sort out the information, contact the lawyer and collect the evidence. And all the things are prepared within just a week.

“The next step is to call the police, and send a lawyer’s letter to the husband of Shi Jing.” Yan Hua checks all the documents and ensures that everything is OK.

When she is about to call the police, Fei Ying suddenly shouts: “Hua, look the micro blog!”

“What’s wrong?” Yan Hua sees that her face changed.

Fei Ying’s face turns white: “Someone... Someone exposes the information of Shi Jing.”

“What?” Yan Hua’s face also becomes pale. She fails to enter the password a few times, and catches a sight of a trending search when she finally opens the micro blog.

The other party is even a “Big V,” specializing in breaking the news. He even mentions the official micro blog of Blossom, with a tone of praise saying that this woman named Shi Jing is a PhD, but she always suffers from her husband’s domestic violence, and finally has the courage to find the foundation for help.

The foundation’s founder, Second Young Mistress of Lang Family, personally interviews her and promises to help her with all her efforts. He even says that Shi Jing not only wants to get divorced, but also wants to send her husband to prison.

He not only has pictures but also has a photo in which Yan Hua is meeting Shi Jing. The picture only shows Yan Hua in profile. But Shi Jing’s whole face can be seen, and her appearance is very clear.

“It’s doomed. This thing has been hyped up.” Fei Ying paces up and down: “Who does it? Who exposes the information?”

Netizens have been very concerned about this kind of social incident. Coupled with the fact that one party is even a lady from wealthy family, the post has already been forwarded for hundreds of times in a short time. And most of the messages are scolding Yan Hua’s foundation.

“Who are you calling?” Seeing that Yan Hua dials the number, Fei Ying thinks that she is looking for someone.

Yan Hua calls the police and asks them to protect Shi Jing because her number is disconnected. Her colleagues said that she has been taken home by her husband.

“No, I have to see her at her home,” Yan Hua stands up. “You just handle the thing on the Internet. I am going to find Shi Jing.”

Fei Ying also calms down now, and she nods: “I’ll call Fei Yi. Take care of yourself.”

When Yan Hua walks away, Fei Ying plans to call Lang Ruoxian. However, his phone is busy all the time, so Fei Ying has to send a message to him.

Lang Ruoxian is talking with Yan Hua on the phone.

“Where are you now?”

Yan Hua just gets on the car, asking the driver directly to go to Shi Jing’s home.

“Listen to me. Don’t go upstairs when you arrive there. Wait for me in the bottom of the building, and I will be there soon.” Then he hangs up.
