Chapter 709
"Li Xiaoru told that her mom hasn’t been sleeping through the night, and in just a few months, her hair has turned mostly gray. Even though her dad said he won’t hold it against her, her mom still speaks cautiously with him, making the atmosphere at ho really bad." Wu Jingbo sighed as she spoke, "Days like these are just too painful."
"There’s no other way, she has to adjust on her own. If she can’t co to terms with it, no amount of persuasion will help..." Chuxia paused and sighed, "It’s easy to say, but whoever is in that position will find it hard not to care."
"That’s true." Wu Jingbo nodded in agreent, "Living in this world, you can’t just live according to your own thoughts. The opinions of others and public discussion are things we can’t avoid."
"That’s right, but..." Chuxia paused and tried to comfort, "With the continuous progress of society, things will get better."
"Yes, at the very least, we can already sympathize with this matter. The first ti Xiao Ru t , she was so embarrassed, but after talking for a while, she said she feels lucky to have t us. She wanted to tell you that she’s very, very grateful to you. If it weren’t for the Zhou family’s background, she would have personally co to thank you."
"I haven’t really helped much..." Chuxia shook her head helplessly, "She’s always so polite, it was just a letter, a trivial matter. When I see her, I will definitely settle accounts with her; she’s too distant."
"At that ti, she was terribly insecure and fragile, plus, her good friends really stopped interacting with her because of that incident. So, even though it was just a letter, she truly appreciates it..." Wu Jingbo sighed, "You can only see people’s character in critical monts."
Chuxia sighed and didn’t respond.
In this era, people are relatively less tolerant in these matters, so in her view it’s completely forgivable, but in many others’ eyes, it’s considered being unvirtuous.
After the incident, many people gossiped, saying that Li Xinwan must have been willing, otherwise, after the assault, she should have committed suicide to prove her innocence. Why let the perpetrator succeed ti and again?
How to put it, she also thinks Li Xinwan was a bit weak, but without being in that position, it’s impossible to truly judge right from wrong from an outsider’s perspective.
Many things in this era can’t be judged by common sense; for example, those who were labeled as belonging to a certain faction, their wives and children would quickly sever ties with them. To her, this seems incredibly heartless, but in this era, many agree with it.
However, what comforts her is that her friends around her aren’t those extre types. Like Wu Jingbo, who despite seeming cold and aloof, is very righteous. Last ti, she played a big role in preventing Li Xiaoru from being hard. Otherwise, Li Xiaoru wouldn’t have considered her a close friend and confided everything to her.
"Don’t be too pessimistic; there are still more good people around." Seeing Chuxia silent, Wu Jingbo comforted, "In our group at least, none of us are that excessive. Even people like Yuan ngng, who can be selfish, still show loyalty at critical monts."
"She’s just a spoiled child; fundantally, she’s still quite good."
Wu Jingbo looked at Chuxia with a line on her forehead, "You’re actually younger than she is, so don’t speak so old-fashionedly, okay?"
Unable to explain the cause, Chuxia made an excuse for herself, "I co from the countryside, and the conditions aren’t good, so I’m relatively more mature. After all, children of poor families start managing things earlier."
"There’s so truth in that, but it’s not absolute; so kids from well-off families are also quite sensible..."
Chuxia interrupted with a smile, "You’re talking about yourself."
"Alright, if you put it that way, I won’t argue." Wu Jingbo smiled with her eyes curved, "In fact, I am quite sensible, but nothing is absolute. In the sa family environnt, my eldest cousin was quite irresponsible. She found a man three years younger than herself, got proof and married without parental consent, really angering the elders."
Then my mom started worrying at ho, so anxious that she made an excuse to co over to see just a few days ago. Ostensibly, she was visiting , but actually, she was trying to gather information, fearing I might do sothing foolish like that."
"You’re so logical, you wouldn’t do that." Chuxia laughed, "But in parents’ hearts, children always need their attention and supervision. Don’t bla them, it’s not that they don’t trust you, it’s just that concern leads to chaos."
