"We found some clues," Fu Zhen replied, "It has something to do with Zhou Muchuan, but we haven't found out the details yet. We'll know in a few days."

Xu Yansang nodded.

The next day was the weekend, and Zhai Jing made an appointment with Xu Yansang to go shopping.

The two met at the mall. Zhai Jing glanced at the two bodyguards not far behind Xu Yansang and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Your husband protects you too well. He even arranged bodyguards for you."

Xu Yansang smiled and explained, "There's a bad guy who hasn't been caught yet, and he's afraid that I'll be targeted."

Zhai Jing stuck out her tongue, "Okay, okay, the upper class world is very complicated."

She held Chen Ranxing's arm and said a little embarrassedly, "Sister Yansang, actually I asked you to come out today because I have something to ask you. After Sister Wei was transferred to the headquarters, I can't see her anymore, otherwise I would have called both of you out."

Xu Yansang asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhai Jing frowned, "Do you still remember Jian Congwen? He's the guy I asked you to meet last time."

Xu Yansang suddenly felt a little guilty, because it was she who helped Jian Congwen find the way yesterday.

"Remember," she said quickly, "what happened to him?"

Zhai Jing was entangled, "That's right, he has been pursuing me. I hated him at first, but later I thought he was pretty good. Recently, he shamelessly moved into my house and treated me like my parents' own son every day."

Xu Yansang said, "Isn't this good? Don't you like him?"

Zhai Jing thought for a while and said, "I wouldn't say I like him, but I think he's a nice guy. My parents have always told me that his family conditions are similar to mine, he's an only child, and he's responsible. If I marry him, my life will be simple and happy."

Xu Yansang seemed to have noticed something, and looked at her and said, "You only told me his conditions, what about you? How do you feel?"

Zhai Jing shook her head and said distressedly, "I don't know. I used to choose what I liked, but Kang Ping... now I don't know what to do. I think if I choose Jian Congwen, at least my life will be much simpler and easier."

Xu Yansang opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She didn't understand Jian Congwen, and she didn't dare to interfere in Zhai Jing's emotional issues.

When it comes to emotional matters, no one can empathize except the person involved.

Only the person concerned can know clearly what is most suitable for him or her.

She could only comfort him, "Don't think too much, follow your heart. If you think it's suitable, you can give it a try first. Maybe you will like him."

Zhai Jing sighed and said nothing.

After a while, she said sullenly, "In fact, my parents and his parents have already discussed our engagement. I didn't refuse because I couldn't find a reason to refuse. My mother said that I had lived with Kang Ping and had an abortion, and it was very lucky that I could find someone like Jian Congwen who didn't despise me, so she told me not to be so fussy."

Xu Yansang paused and said disapprovingly, "You met the wrong person, Kang Ping. It's not your fault. You were just deceived by him. When you were dating him, you were serious and you did nothing wrong. Aborting the child is a timely measure to stop the loss. It only represents your past. It doesn't mean that you are a promiscuous person or that you are not worthy of being loved. Zhai Jing, don't belittle yourself."

Zhai Jing said nothing.

Xu Yansang now understood what she was worried about, and said seriously, "You take relationships seriously. When you were dating Kang Ping, you were aiming for marriage. He is the one who has let you down. It is his fault. Don't use his mistake to punish yourself. Having had an abortion doesn't mean anything, let alone Jian Congwen. No man can use this to blame you. They can choose not to have contact with you if they can't accept it, but they can't admire you and despise your past at the same time. Don't get yourself into trouble."

"Sister Yansang, I..." Zhai Jing's voice was a little choked, but she couldn't say anything.

What Xu Yansang said just hit the spot that bothered her the most. She had lived with someone, got pregnant, had an abortion, and even looked down on herself.

She understood the principles, but she couldn't do it. Sometimes she even felt that she was dirty, disgusting, and casual.

So she was really grateful that Jian Congwen didn't despise her. But gratitude was not love, and she was also afraid that if she entered into marriage because of this, it would lay a landmine for her married life.

"Zhai Jing, you are a very good girl and you deserve everything good." Xu Yansang encouraged her, "Don't put shackles on yourself."

Zhai Jing sighed, "Sister Yansang, I'll do my best."

The two of them strolled forward casually. After a while, Zhai Jing became more cheerful. She tried on a black skirt in a clothing store, which looked very elegant. Zhai Jing looked at the skirt and remembered something. She said to the clerk, "Please cut off the tag for me. I want to wear it now."

She looked like an elegant princess in that black dress.

Just as I walked out of the clothing store, I saw that there seemed to be a riot in front of me. At the door of a store, several men were kicking and beating a girl. The girl kept begging for mercy and screaming, "Stop hitting me! Please! Let me go! I won't dare to do it again! Ah! Please!"

Those men acted wildly, and even when the girl begged for mercy, they still did not stop. Onlookers shouted, "Stop it, I've called the police!"

When the men heard this, they turned around and ran away.

Xu Yansang found that one of the men looked familiar, it seemed to be... Kang Ping?

Looking at Zhai Jing again, she was also staring at the figure. Xu Yansang knew that it was most likely Kang Ping.

Why did Kang Ping beat someone in the street? She was just a weak little girl.

When the two walked over, they saw the little girl crouching on the ground crying. A kind passerby handed her a tissue and asked, "Girl, how did you offend that bully?"

The girl looked to be no more than twenty years old. She was petite, with delicate and cute features, and a bow headband on her head. She cried even harder when she heard what was said.

"They lied to me, saying they would sign me and train me to become a big internet celebrity and a big star. They tricked me into signing many contracts. But who knew that after I signed the contract, they would turn their backs on me. The contract had very harsh provisions, and if I failed to meet them, I would have to pay them tens of millions... I didn't want to be treated as their puppet, so I ran away. But I didn't expect that they would train a group of thugs who often cause trouble for me..."

After hearing this, the enthusiastic passers-by were immediately surprised and said, "Then you should call the police. Scammers like them should be arrested!"

The girl shook her head and sobbed, "It's useless. They have the contract and my signature..."

Zhai Jing was bewildered when she heard this and asked Xu Yansang, "Sister Yansang, how can this kind of thing still happen? It's a different era now and you can't even decide your own personal freedom?"

Xu Yansang sighed softly, "This society is much more complicated than you think. You have been protected by your parents and joined a big company after graduation. You have been walking steadily all the way, but there are many people in this world... who have no one to protect them. They have to stumble on their own and inevitably fall into pitfalls."

Xu Yansang also felt bad, but she was not a savior and could not save anyone.

Pulling Zhai Jing back, "Don't look at it."

Zhai Jing muttered, "I didn't expect Kang Ping to be a dog for such evil forces now."

Xu Yansang was puzzled, "Was that really Kang Ping just now? Doesn't he have a graduate degree? How could he do such a thing?"

Zhai Jing said, "After we broke up, he was targeted by his boss. My parents must have been mad at him and used their connections to target him. Anyway, he found several jobs but was fired every time. I don't know what happened next."

When Xu Yansang heard this, she suddenly paused, vaguely realized something, and a bad premonition flashed through her mind.

She grabbed Zhai Jing and said decisively, "Let's go out through another door."

After saying that, she pulled Zhai Jing and walked quickly towards another exit of the mall.
