The door of the mediation room opened wide because Shu Ning pushed the door in. At this time, Fu Zheng inside the door finally saw Ning Wan outside the door.
"Ning Wan?"
Ning Wan held back her complicated emotions, she just looked away and didn't look at Fu Zheng again. Fortunately, at this moment, Shu Ning's voice broke Ning Wan's embarrassment, she turned to look at Ning Wan——
"Lawyer Ning, I-I want to have a good talk with you..."
Perhaps it was her daughter's remarks that finally made her wake up. Although Shu Ning was still struggling with her attitude, it was the first time she showed her willingness to communicate.
No matter how weak a person is, a mother is strong. Shu Ning can endure being violently treated by Yu Feiyuan, but he can no longer turn a blind eye to the psychological trauma suffered by his child: "I... Maybe I have been running away, I have been numbing myself, but This may really be wrong…”
Shu Ning wiped away her tears: "I'm sorry for the child. Attorney Ning, you are right. It's because of my weakness that I put the reason for not getting a divorce to the child, but maybe divorce is the real good for the child..."
…
Once Shu Ning's attitude softened, things would be much easier to do in the future. Fu Zheng borrowed the mediation room from the police. Several people sat down honestly with each other. Ning Wan did not care about Shu Ning's complaint, but was very serious. I carefully communicated with Shu Ning the situation and details that I had investigated in the company and school with Fu Zheng before.
"Because a lot of things have gone a long way, I have no way to prove anything, but with so many details, I think you have a free heart to prove it. In fact, you don't need me to point it out, you can also understand the twists and turns inside."
Ning Wan looked at Shu Ning, she took a deep breath, and finally summoned up her courage: "I grew up in a family of domestic violence, my father has a low level of education, and Yu Feiyuan has nothing to do with beating people. What's the difference, I try to play down this memory, and I don't want to think about it, but I know the scars remain in my heart, I don't want Shiyin to repeat my life, and I don't want you to live such a life, Shu Ning, You could have deserved better…”
For a long time, Ning Wan had never been willing to share her experience with others, but this time, she finally decided to face up to this unpleasant past——
"I can tell you responsibly that domestic violence will not change. My father admits his mistakes every time, just like Yu Feiyuan, but the second time and the third time... He will continue to do it again forever. There are only zero and countless times of domestic violence. This sentence I have practiced it myself..."
Undoubtedly, recalling these pasts was a kind of self-opening scar for Ning Wan, but she still had to continue talking through gritted teeth. Perhaps for Shu Ning, only by showing her that she truly felt the same way could she gain more of her feelings. Trust, prove that he has no conflict of interest in this case, and if his own scars can make Shu Ning accept him and get legal aid, then what he has done is meaningful and worthwhile.
"Because my mother has repeatedly tried to persuade her to get a divorce, but she will eventually back away. Even today, she has not been able to divorce my father, so after all these years, I actually have resentment towards her in my heart. , I think why is she doing this?"
Ning Wan took a deep breath, lowered her eyes, and clenched her fists: "Can't I live without a trash man like my dad? I know it's not easy for my mother, but now that I'm grown up and able to live independently, I can also take care of her, why is she still not divorced? Does she think she is the kind of person who can save my father? Or is there a tendency to be abused, thinking that beating is kissing and scolding is love? At first, I was really sympathetic to my mother, But to be honest, over time, this kind of sympathy has also been mixed with disapproval and anger. I can't understand why my mother didn't get a divorce. I even quarreled with my mother over this matter and said very outrageous things to her. …”
"So frankly speaking, your complaint against me is not wrong. In handling your case, I did too much into my own feelings, because I hope you don't reincarnate in a bad marriage like my mother, so I brought it with you unconsciously. Emotions, when I learned that you were not ready to divorce, I vented my subconscious anger and complaints towards my mother on you." Ning Wan bit her lip and solemnly apologized to Shu Ning, "I'm sorry, to you I've said so much before."
Shu Ning was full of emotion when she made this confession: "It's me who should apologize, I'm sorry, in fact, I know in my heart that you want to help me, but I don't have the courage and I can't get out of the vicious circle..."
"I know that maybe if others knew about my situation and saw that I was constantly beaten not only to not get a divorce but also to help the other party to excuse me, they would only think that poor people must have something to hate, and that I am a doctoral student, but I am willing to live with domestic violence. I deserve it, I commit suicide, I am stupid, maybe not many people will sympathize with me, but they will feel that I have lost the face of women, and would rather be beaten than divorced independently."
Shu Ning's eyes were red: "I know you may not believe my explanation, but I may also understand why your mother can't get a divorce."
"Others look at us and seem to think that divorce is easy, but those who have lived in domestic violence and mental control for a long time have no way to resist, because we have been numb from the beating, and have become accustomed to this kind of life. Well, because the occasional change will be even more violent, so I'm afraid to file for divorce, because I'm afraid that I will be beaten harder."
Ning Wan thought that as a witness of domestic violence, she should have fully understood the psychology of the victim, but at this moment, she realized that even if she was a witness, she might not be able to truly empathize with the victim.
Shu Ning lowered his head and wiped his tears: "Because I have been beaten and scolded a lot, my sense of self-identity will be minimized over time. I once felt that I was indeed wrong, and I really shouldn't go out to find Work, I know it sounds stupid, why should I find reasons for being beaten? But if I don't find reasons for myself, I can't convince myself why my once good lover has become like this, because I have a relationship with him I have been in love, so there is no way to accept this reality, because I want to save the marriage and love, so I continue to endure."
"I convince myself that he loves me, and every time he hits me, he does show his love and remorse for me that I can't get a divorce, I... I don't know how to describe my feelings, I I feel like I have some kind of psychological problem. The person who was beaten is obviously me, but I still have feelings for the person who beat me. Instead, I want to protect him, and I can't decide to divorce... I know you may not believe it... "
"I believe." Fu Zheng, who had always been quiet, opened his mouth. He glanced at Ning Wan, and then looked at Shu Ning, "Stockholm Syndrome, also known as hostage complex, in simple terms, the victim is in extreme In the face of fear and potential harm, the self-protection mechanism will lead to psychological dependence on the perpetrator. Just like in your case, Yu Feiyuan beats you, but you can’t beat him, and the two of you have a marriage relationship, to some extent Your personal safety is in his hands and under his control, he will brainwash you again. Over time, you will feel at this extreme that Yu Feiyuan didn't beat you one day and greeted you. You will be grateful and feel very grateful. I am grateful to him and depend on him very much, and I am a community with him, and in the face of outsiders, I will unconsciously protect him, assist him, and even don’t want to leave him voluntarily.”
"The theory of Stockholm Syndrome holds that 'people can be domesticated', just as excessive stimulation and blows can make people insane, repeated pua can also destroy a person's spiritual freedom and even loss of self-will."
When Fu Zheng talked about it, he paused: "So this is indeed a mental illness, and the victims themselves sometimes don't realize it. The victims of domestic violence don't want to get divorced, but it's just because they are really sick. No matter what, you It's the victim, you didn't do anything wrong, it's the person who abused you."
"When domestic violence cases are dealt with in China, many times they don't realize it. In fact, the victims need psychological intervention and treatment. Whether domestic violence or pua mental control, the victims are often not only physically injured, but also mentally ill. It's just that people often understand depression, but they haven't put themselves in the shoes of 'patients' like you."
Fu Zheng's voice was calm, but Shu Ning was not judged in his eyes, he was just very gentle and tolerant: "Ning Wan has a friend who is a psychiatrist, if you don't mind, you can go and see. But no matter what Always remember that you are not at fault, others are not you, others have not suffered what you have suffered, so no one has the right to judge you, and no one has the right to accuse you."
"You convince yourself to forgive Yu Feiyuan's domestic violence in order to find a reason for yourself, in order to allow yourself to live, but we cannot forgive domestic violence, because in this way, thousands of women like you can survive."
If Shu Ning was originally crying because of Shiyin's reaction, but now after hearing Fu Zheng's words, her grievance, unease and confusion finally burst. Choking.
Since the domestic violence by Yu Feiyuan, Shu Ning's self-evaluation and cognition have been reduced to the lowest level, and after repeated violence, she has almost cut off her previous contacts, and she dare not ask others for help, and only secretly There was a post for help on the Internet, but when netizens learned that she was not divorced, the comfort of those kind words turned into sarcasm and abuse——
"You've been beaten like this and still don't get a divorce, no wonder you're beaten!"
"The reason why there is a market for scumbags is because of a bitch like you..."
"I'm going. I, a high school student, know that I can't marry a domestic abuser. How did this po master read the doctorate? Is he pretending to be mush?"
"Okay, don't persuade everyone. The next time you see this po owner should be the time when she was beaten to death by a scumbag husband on social news. Let's send her all the way with good words."
…
And this is almost the first time someone told her that she was not wrong, she was just sick, she was not stupid, nor was she cheap, she didn't deserve all this, but she was hurt, no one else has the right to judge her, it was never wrong She, she deserves to be redeemed, and still can be redeemed.
With tears in her eyes, she bowed deeply to Fu Zheng: "Lawyer Fu, thank you, thank you very much."
Shu Ning choked up: "Lawyer Ning, thank you too! It's my luck to meet you for three lifetimes!"
Many times, people only see the physical wounds of the victims in domestic violence cases, but ignore the scars in their hearts. Shu Ning never thought that she would meet two lawyers like this - Ning Wan did not give up on her, even if she retaliates for her kindness. Even though she complained about her, she still insisted on extending a helping hand to herself; Fu Zheng did his best to help her, gave her the understanding and tolerance that no one had ever given her, and made Shu Ning come out of self-blame and remorse. Be able to forgive and accept yourself.
After a deep conversation, Shu Ning finally got a backbone in her heart, her thinking became clear, and she finally made up her mind to divorce, but...
"It's all my fault that I didn't listen to Lawyer Ning's words before, missed the collection of evidence, and didn't know how to prove his domestic violence when prosecuting."
Because the parties do not pay attention to the protection of evidence, many domestic violence cases will face such results, but it is not impossible, Ning Wan explained logically and clearly: "If there is no evidence now, you can still leave if you want to divorce, nothing more. If it takes a little longer, I suggest that you take your child and separate from him first..."
It's just that before the words were finished, Shi Yin, who was leaning against Shu Ning and did not speak, said, "Mom, I have evidence."
In the eyes of the three, little adult Shiyin jumped out of Shu Ning's arms, she blinked: "Last time when my father beat my mother, I secretly recorded a video..." She paused and continued, "It's my mother's old phone. I took pictures and videos, but then my dad hit someone and threw something and smashed the old phone. I couldn't turn it on, so I couldn't show it to the police uncle..."
Ning Wan's eyes lit up: "You are such a wonderful child!" After speaking, she turned to look at Shu Ning, "We can find someone to repair the phone and restore it, and most likely the video in it can still be exported. Yes, so there is direct video data, Yu Feiyuan can't deny the fact that he beat you."
Shu Ning hugged Shiyin hard and nodded.
"In addition, you are holding back for now. Don't mention the divorce. First, to prevent Yu Feiyuan from angering you again, and secondly, we can try to get a certificate again."
When it came to handling the case, Ning Wan picked up her emotions and made a serious and professional suggestion: "Even if we have video evidence, because as an orphan, it can only prove that Yu Feiyuan hit you once, if he is in front of the judge If you perform a scene of weeping and repenting, it is very likely that the judge will decide that your relationship has not broken, and the first time you file a lawsuit, you will not be separated, so it is best to have other supporting evidence. Since he beat you again this time, there is a high probability that he will return. If he will admit his mistake afterwards, can you guide him to write a written confession letter for you? Documentary evidence is very effective."
Shu Ning nodded: "I will also buy a camera and install it in the room and living room first. If he still hits me in the past few days, it is just a case of evidence collection."
"Remember to call the police." Fu Zheng said with care, "Protect yourself first, get evidence second."
Regarding the suggestions of Ning Wan and Fu Zheng, Shu Ning wrote down one by one. Several people agreed to restore the mobile phone first, and then seek other supplementary evidence step by step. During this period, Shu Ning also sent his resume first, trying to find a legitimate A stable job to fight for child custody.
In a case like divorce, once the parties have made up their minds, it is very efficient to move forward. Ning Wan sorted out all the details, and gave Shu Ning a list of materials for her to add to prepare for Yu Feiyuan's lawsuit for divorce. Just stop.
Before saying goodbye, Shu Ning thanked the two of them again and again, and apologized to Ning Wan again: "I'm sorry lawyer Ning, I will definitely revoke the law firm's complaint that day. You are really a very, very good lawyer."
Ning Wan originally had no hope for Shu Ning's case, but she did not expect the case or her own complaints to be resolved smoothly in the end.
After Shu Ning left with her daughter, Ning Wan and Fu Zheng also walked from the police station to the community office.
It was impossible for Ning Wan to be unhappy when things were resolved so perfectly. However, besides her happiness, she still had other emotions, sour and swollen, a little complicated, a little dazed, and she didn't even know how to express it. But Fu Zheng didn't open his mouth, not even asking for credit.
In the end, Ning Wan couldn't hold it anymore, she kicked the stone in front of her——
"Fu Zheng."
Fu Zheng stopped and looked at her with a gentle and normal appearance: "Huh?"
Ning Wan stared at him for a moment, then looked away, and kicked a pebble on the road like a quarrel and trouble: "Are you stupid?"
"what?"
Good to ask!
Ning Wan took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone calm: "You are a trainee lawyer, don't you remember that trainee lawyers are not allowed to handle cases alone? Who asked you to secretly come to see the client behind my back?"
Fu Zheng smiled and didn't say anything, but the more he behaved like this, the more Ning Wan's heart sank, she glared at Fu Zheng again, trying her best to put on a vicious attitude: "Shuning's case is complicated, you It's not that I don't know, not to mention that she has already complained to me. Do you know that if you contact her child privately, if it causes her rebellion, it is very likely that you will be complained together? I am a practitioner who has been working for several years. I’m a lawyer, and the complaint won’t have such a big impact on me, but you are still an intern lawyer, once you get a complaint, if the firm takes it seriously, it will probably dismiss you directly!”
Seeing that Fu Zheng still hadn't realized the potential risks of this matter, Ning Wan became even more angry: "You were originally too old to enter the job and had no work experience before. If you complained about being fired during the internship, your future career Your career will be ruined! If you encounter muddy waters like Shu Ning in the future, don't do it."
"I want to try."
"What to try?! This is not the time when you, a trainee lawyer, should rush ahead. What do you want to try? Can you do it yourself? People have to go step by step. I know you are interested in this case, but... "
"I want to see if she can cancel her complaint against you."
Fu Zheng's voice was gentle and peaceful, without complicated decorations or subtlety, but it was this kind of gentle straightforwardness that made Ning Wan completely powerless.
In fact, she knew it, she knew that Fu Zheng took the initiative to find other breakthroughs for her own sake, but because of this, Ning Wan felt that she couldn't forgive herself even more.
"Are you an idiot?" She tried her best to suppress the sourness in her nose and kicked it with a pebble, "It's better to be alone at this time, what client to go to, I'm a senior lawyer who has been working for several years. , of course there is a way to resolve complaints, don't do such stupid things in the future, the first step to be a lawyer is to learn to protect yourself."
"It's not stupid." Fu Zheng's tone was very determined, "You are a very good teaching lawyer, you shouldn't be delayed by this kind of thing. Join the big par team and stand in a higher position, this is you. deserved."
Now Ning Wan's eyes can't help turning red, although she has been telling Fu Zheng'er that she is a senior lawyer and giving him all kinds of advice, but Ning Wan knows in her heart that she has a lot of weight: "Although I work a little more than you. Years, but that's all I can teach you, I have never done a complex commercial case, and I don't have any experience in major cases, so I'm not a good teaching lawyer at all."
"You just haven't seen the world, so you feel that you have learned a lot from me, but you are far more powerful than me, and you will work hard to get into a good team in the future, but no matter what, you must remember, don't give up on anyone. Take your heart out and think about yourself beforehand.”
However, he was emotionally unstable, but Fu Zheng was still very calm. He glanced at Ning Wan: "Then when you were handling the case, did you think about yourself? According to the regulations of the institute, if you have a complaint this year that cannot be eliminated, it will affect it. You apply for any big par team."
Fortunately, Shu Ning's matter was resolved smoothly, but if something went wrong, only himself would be complained, and Fu Zheng's active intervention would inevitably be affected.
The Tao is one foot high and the devil is one foot high. Ning Wan always fights back against people and things that are rude to her. This is not because she is belligerent, but because if she doesn't fight back for herself, then no one will fight back. Will start for her.
The workplace has always been cruel. In Zhengyuan Law Firm, Ning Wan has no team, no lawyers, so she has no safe haven. If she can fight on her own, she can't resist, and this is almost the first time someone has come forward to protect her.
Ning Wan never thought that she would one day be protected by a trainee lawyer who wanted qualifications but no background, but her heart was filled with emotion and sourness, but also guilt and sadness.
He should protect Fu Zheng himself, not let him take risks for himself.
"Don't be like this in the future, my education is not good, I graduated from a second-class undergraduate degree, and I have no major case experience. Even if there is no complaint record, the big par may not choose me, but you are different. Your education is completely fine, and your learning ability is also strong. , Although he is a little older, but because he is a man, marriage and childbirth have little impact on the workplace. If you fight hard, the big par may really choose you this time."
Ning Wan looked at Fu Zheng sincerely: "Also, in the workplace, really don't be so loyal, and don't always think people are too good, what if I'm not really good? After all, the new big par team only accepts three people, you are also my potential competitor, you know your face and your heart, maybe I am good to you on the surface, but slander you behind your back?"
As a result, Ning Wan took the opportunity to teach Fu Zheng to popularize the dangers of the workplace. Not only did Fu Zheng not get his deep meaning, he even interrupted himself without even thinking about it. He glanced at Ning Wan, and his voice sure-
"you will not."
Ning Wan didn't mention it in a single breath. She usually sees Fu Zheng as inferring from one another. How could she be so stubborn when it comes to interpersonal relationships in the workplace?
But just as she wanted to continue explaining, she heard Fu Zheng continue -
"I don't want you to have a complaint record." He stared at Ning Wan with beautiful eyes, "because we have to join the big par team together."
"You and I will continue to work together in the future."
At this moment, Ning Wan had a feeling of being shot in the middle of the heart, but what followed was not pain, but a burst of panic and nervousness, as if her breath had been taken away all at once, just waiting to calm down When she came over, she realized that her heart was beating just right in her chest, but it was beating so fast that she couldn't ignore it.
Obviously, what Fu Zheng said was nothing strange, he just wanted to continue working with him...
But the way he stared into his eyes and said these words made Ning Wan feel unable to look directly. For a moment, she seemed to be at a loss, and Ning Wan didn't even know how to position her hands and feet.
In the past, no matter how difficult or complicated a case was in the community, she had never been timid, but now Fu Zheng's words gave her the urge to escape for the first time. What are you, me, ah, you still have to pause for a while and directly say that we can't do it?
Fu Zheng, the initiator, didn't realize what was wrong with him. He still looked at Ning Wan and continued, "I wouldn't do this to other colleagues, but only to you."
Ning Wan's whole face turned red, and she felt that her body temperature was also rising uncontrollably. If someone like Fu Zheng didn't know he had such a face, should he avoid saying such things to the opposite sex? Sounds easy to misunderstand!
"You're a trainee lawyer..."
"I know that as a trainee lawyer, it is rash and inappropriate to intervene in this case, but I am not doing this from the position of my trainee lawyer, nor because of any professional status." Fu Zheng pursed his lips and smiled. "I'm just taking Fu Zheng's position."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ning Wan again and suggested, "Can you not train me in this way?"
... Having said that, how can I train, not to mention now that Fu Zheng is so gentle and gentle, Ning Wan is too embarrassed to say heavy words to him...
A creature like silly white sweet really stimulates people's desire to protect...
It's just that Ning Wan never imagined that she would one day be protected by a foolish Bai Tian.
Although there is no protection from a lawyer, but Fu Zheng's protection seems to be not bad.
But Ning Wan's heart is not only moved, grateful and nervous, but also has other emotions: "I really thank you for this matter, but Fu Zheng, I really am not as good as you think..."
Perhaps as a newcomer, Fu Zheng also has some fledgling plots. Because of his occasional teaching, he wears a filter when watching himself, but Ning Wan deserves it and is not worthy of Fu Zheng's praise.
"You are very good. You are very responsible to each of your clients. In addition to the cold law, you are also striving for remedies other than the law in the case. You want to use the law to protect others, and you want to use the law to change other people's behavior. Life, on the bright side."
Fu Zheng's tone was low and gentle, but he was very determined: "In the face of Shu Ning, you are willing to keep trying, you are willing to do investigations that may seem meaningless to many other lawyers, visit her company and visit her school, are willing to You are a very good and warm lawyer to do these 'futile efforts' in the eyes of others." Fu Zheng's voice softened, "In this case, you are helping Shu Ning and Shiyin get out of the quagmire. "
"I'm not that good." Ning Wan pursed her lips, struggled for a moment, but decided to confess, "Actually, in a way, it shouldn't be Shu Ning and Shiyin thanking me for this case, maybe it's me more Thank you for choosing me in this case."
Ning Wan kicked a small stone again, and now, she no longer hides her family situation: "Because I have experienced the shadow of domestic violence since I was a child, so I hate domestic violence, I can understand Shiyin's emotions, Because I have felt it all, I have been trying to persuade my mother to get a divorce, but I have been disappointed time and time again, so that in the end, I not only hated my father, but also resented my mother. Forgive my mother, because I always feel that if she divorced and left this man sooner, she and I could have a better life."
Ning Wan has never told anyone about these inner emotions, and she never thought that she would one day speak out. However, Fu Zheng seems to have such power, which makes her feel safe and reliable, as if she has darkened her inner heart. He will not be despised if he analyzes his emotions. He is like a sea, calm and deep enough to be tolerant.
"Before this case, I always thought that I was perfect in my father's domestic violence. I did everything a daughter should do, and encouraged my mother to obtain evidence, divorce, work hard, and not Let her worry about distractions, be financially independent, and her income can support her divorce, so she has not divorced so far, which is entirely her own fault and choice."
When Ning Wan said this, her eyes gradually turned red: "But until today, I didn't realize how selfish and stupid I was in the past, I never really empathized with my mother, I completely started from my own position, I didn't put myself in her shoes."
Ning Wan never thought about the victim's psychological problems, and never thought that her own mother might have developed Stockholm Syndrome due to years of violence and repeated oppression. Domestic violence hurts not only the body, but also the mind. After years of damage, her mother may have been unable to break free from this life on her own. She lost her spiritual freedom and the ability to resist, becoming numb and submissive.
But even so, Fu Zheng's black eyes were dark and deep: "What's wrong with you? You're just an imperfect victim."
"No, I was wrong." Ning Wan took a deep breath and looked at the ground, "I'm too selfish, like all high-level keyboard warriors, I blame my mother in my heart, but I never thought I would take the initiative. Help her out of this life."
"Six-year-old Shiyin is trying to help her mother by constantly calling the police and secretly recording video evidence, but what about me? But actually nothing was really done for her."
Ning Wan remembered the repression, pain and suffering of her mother in those years, and now she was full of regret and self-blame. Did she really do her best for her mother? absolutely not!
She is not a qualified daughter at all!
"My mother chose silence in the long-term violence and was afraid of change, so she didn't dare to divorce, but I gave up on her so easily..."
Speaking of which, Ning Wan could no longer control her emotions. Self-blame, regret and pain were crawling over her heart like poisonous vines. She knew that she shouldn't cry. She had known each other for a long time, but at this moment, Ning Wan couldn't hold back. The words of six-year-old Shiyin hammered her always good sense of self. If she wanted to truly protect someone, her mouth was not enough.
"If it wasn't for Shiyin's fierce attitude, she might not be able to wake up Shu Ning. I'm thinking, if I could have been like Shiyin back then, would it be that my mother and my father would have divorced and escaped the bitter sea long ago."
Ning Wan lowered her head and tried her best to hide the tears that kept flowing down her: "I know... I can bring my mother to Rongshi earlier, so that even if she doesn't get divorced, she can stay away from my father, I'll ask again With the doctor's good intervention and treatment, if she was separated for another two years, she might have been completely cut off from my dad... But I didn't think of anything, I didn't do anything for my mother, I just thought that I couldn't see what I could do. Jing escaped from my father, and I only thought that my mother was obsessed, I was not at all... I am not such a good person at all, I could not even protect my mother well... "
"You're not wrong." It was Fu Zheng's voice that interrupted Ning Wan. Even such a simple sentence seemed to have the power to calm people's hearts.
Ning Wan felt a warm touch on her face, and Fu Zheng handed over a piece of paper in front of her.
"In our country's culture, we always like to find the cause of the victim. When a woman encounters domestic violence, someone will immediately investigate the root cause. Is she at fault? Did she make a provocation first? After her boyfriend chased and beat her, she started to rip off her cocoons again, did she spend a lot of money on men to break up during her relationship to get revenge?"
If Fu Zheng accused Ning Wan at this moment, maybe Ning Wan would feel better, but he didn't, he was gentle, tolerant, and didn't make judgments, but Ning Wan felt more like crying.
"In short, it seems that the victim must be perfect and flawless to be worthy of sympathy. But it's not." Fu Zheng bent down slightly, his eyes were level with Ning Wan's, "No matter what the victim is, he is the victim. You don’t have to blame yourself for not being perfect, you are a victim just like your mother, so don’t blame yourself for not doing well enough to protect others, because you should be protected too.”
Ning Wan's tears couldn't help falling down, Fu Zheng looked helpless, he patted Ning Wan's head lightly and stared at her eyes full of tears: "It's really not your fault, the fault is You, the perpetrator, like all victims, shouldn't blame yourself."
Ning Wan held back her choking, and she looked away in embarrassment.
For a long time, Ning Wan has always been sunny and strong and never admit defeat. However, at this moment, she felt that she never wanted to be strong anymore. Fu Zheng was too gentle, so gentle that Ning Wan really felt that if she could always be there. His protection is good, gentle enough to want to depend on, gentle enough to Ning Wan really forgive herself, she is also a victim, even if she doesn't do well enough, there is nothing wrong.
"In addition, I've always wanted to apologize to you for my previous views on your education." Fu Zheng's tone was very soft, "I'm sorry, you made me change my opinion, education doesn't mean everything, and education is just a stepping stone and a starting point. It's just, you are great, growing up in such an environment, and being able to become such a powerful lawyer is really amazing, if I were you, I might not be able to have your achievements."
"So don't cry, people will look better if they laugh." Fu Zheng smiled and said perseveringly, "Okay, what do you want to eat? Do you want matcha ice cream? Celebrate your settlement with the client, the complaint will be withdrawn soon. Such a good thing, you should be happy."
Ning Wan was no longer hypocritical, she wiped her tears and simply said, "Yes!"
The past has passed, and the future has not yet come. No matter what, time cannot be turned back, but since everyone has realized their own shortcomings, seize this moment, and they can still remedy it now.
Sometimes life may be a wonderful reincarnation. Ning Wan helped Shu Ning, but in a sense, Shu Ning's case also awakened Ning Wan. Through this, Shu Ning will eventually grow up, so why not Ning Wan, the lawyer representing this case?
Perhaps in many cases, lawyers and clients are not just one-way output, but can also warm and grow with each other.
After crying and venting her emotions, Ning Wan already knew what to do. Victims of domestic violence may never only need verbal advice, but also need someone to take the initiative to reach out to them and drag them out of their muddy life.
She wants to do what she couldn't do in the past, to protect her mother, and to change her life.
But at this moment, she has to follow Fu Zheng to eat her matcha ice cream.
