“How are you feeling? Did you get injured at that time?” Chen Anhe was shocked after watching the video. She knew Miao Bing, but she didn’t think that he would dare to drag her daughter into the men’s bathroom in broad daylight under surveillance!
How did people become like this?
“I’m fine. I’m not hurt at all. I taught him a lesson at that time, but I wanted to find a few influential artists who had been hurt by him to speak up and prove Miao Bing’s guilt, but I was rejected.” Chen Wei’er felt a little defeated as she spoke. She was even starting to doubt her own thoughts.
Could it be that she was being too idealistic?
However, if they relied on this sole footage, it would not be enough to encourage others to step up. Moreover, his punishment would be light.
When Chen Anhe heard her daughter, she sighed. “Wei’er, it would be abnormal if you weren’t rejected. No one would agree to this kind of thing.”
“Why?” Chen Wei’er didn’t understand. “Isn’t it a good thing to expose a scumbag? Should I be lenient on someone who hurt me? What is the reason for their reluctance? Are they really afraid of his retaliation?”
Chen Anhe patted her daughter’s head and explained, “You’re still young. Which woman in this world would be willing to admit that she was forced? Especially those influential artists, they all had their own reputations to uphold! Their ability to earn is tied to their reputations.”
Chen Anhe continued, “Everyone has their own difficulties. You’re asking them to expose their past scandals, and it’s the most difficult thing for a girl to face. Not many people can withstand this kind of psychological pressure.”
At this point, Chen Anhe thought of her younger self.
She had gotten pregnant before marriage, and the child’s biological father had run away with the money.
How much psychological pressure had she been under? Back then, her family had insulted her and outsiders had been pointing at her. She had almost been unable to lift her head. She had even felt that there was no point in living.
Moreover, in this world, women were always at a disadvantage in such matters. Public opinion would only suppress the weak.
“I really didn’t expect it.” Chen Wei’er pursed her lips and lowered her head. She was just going to beat up the scumbag with her passion, but she forgot that her situation was different from those people’s.
She could not let Miao Bing succeed, but the people she found were really hurt. If they really joined her cause, there would be a lot of nasty comments on the internet! By then, the whole world would know that they had been forced, and their reputations would be damaged.
Moreover, some of the victims were already married and had children.
What would their children, husbands, and family think about this news?
How would they face it all?
Chen Wei’er found that her idea of looking for these people was indeed incorrect, and it was the biggest mistake. She was too idealistic!
In the past, many girls did not dare to call the police when they were aggrieved. It wasn’t that those victims didn’t want to take revenge, but that the world had placed too many shackles on girls.
The girls were clearly the ones who were aggrieved, but in the end, they were the ones who got scolded.
There would even be more vicious speculations, and all the blame would be pushed onto the girl.
[Is it not your fault? It’s definitely because you’re wearing too little, you deserve it!]
[He didn’t lay his hands on anyone else. It must be because you’re the sluttiest! My gosh, seducing men everywhere…]
[You girls dress too scantily. Women shouldn’t go out. No wonder you were violated. You gave them a chance!]
[….]
Chen Wei’er had seen all kinds of vicious words on social media.
Of course, there were different remarks, but she couldn’t rule out the malicious ones. Even some who sympathized were a form of hurt.
“Besides, Wei’er, you have the He family’s support and encouragement. Miao Bing won’t dare to do anything to you after he finds out.
“But if you push Miao Bing too far, will his wife and daughter let you off? Do you think they don’t know? They wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on you and would find trouble with others just to vent their anger!
“Wei’er, you called for them to speak up with you, so you have to be responsible for them! But can you guarantee their safety and that they will never be threatened for the rest of their lives?”
Chen Anhe’s words were like a knife stabbing into Chen Wei’er’s heart.
Chen Wei’er had also thought about this, but she really couldn’t guarantee it.
“Do I have to give up just like that?” Chen Wei’er began to doubt herself, and she was dejected.
“Who told you to give up? Since you want to expose him, then use this video to do so. The impact might not be that wide or influential, but it’s your best choice.” Chen Anhe held Chen Wei’er in her arms and gently comforted her.
