For Shen Mingzhu, a modern woman from the future, encountering such an incident made her first thought about calling the police and letting the perpetrator face legal punishment.
But then, considering Yan Yi's identity and family background, she guessed that even if he were taken to the police station, it would probably be just for show.
Looking at Yan Yi's gentle and unfathomable face, Shen Mingzhu had mixed feelings.
In the past, she had been truly grateful to Yan Yi, thankful that he had used his status to clear her of false accusations and save her husband.
But now, that very status also served as a protective shell, shielding Yan Yi from the consequences of his wrongdoing.
After much thought,
Shen Mingzhu decided to first try communicating with Chu Yuqing.
Although Chu Yuqing's invitation to dinner was highly suspicious, she was, after all, Zhong Qing's mother.
In her opinion, no mother could watch her daughter suffer such abuse and remain indifferent.
