Chapter 418
Pei Shuangshuang's case was the first to go to court, and the result was also unexpected for Mu Yang. He thought that with Pei Shuangshuang's feelings for him, even if this matter was exposed, he could get away with it at most and just take some effort to coax her.
In the past, he had always been arrogant in front of her, and she was willing to flatter him, wasn't she?
But this time, she was determined to put him in jail, not even accepting compensation.
The nude painting case had already received wide attention, and the court ruling was even more widely reported.
Pei Shuangshuang accepted interviews as the victim, but that nude painting would eventually ruin her life.
She won the lawsuit, but what she thought was the end was not the end at all, it was just the beginning.
By the time her legs could slowly stand up, it was already a month later.
After this incident, Pei Shuangshuang also became much more silent. As soon as she sat down at her job, she started working on today's tasks.
The autumn wind was a bit dry, blowing her lips to peel.
She wanted to ask her colleague next to her to pour her a cup of water, but when she turned her head, she saw everyone staying away from her, and even the look in their eyes had changed.
If it was before, she would have lost her temper long ago.
But now, no matter how upset she was, she knew she had to endure it.
Just like her mother said, time is the best forgetting method. Let her keep a low profile, and when enough time has passed, people will naturally forget about this.
She took the cup herself, half-limping to the boiler room to pour herself a hot cup of tea.
Unexpectedly, at the door, she heard the best colleague she used to play with gossiping with others, "I really can't see that Pei Shuangshuang, you see how arrogant she used to be, with her nose in the air looking down on everyone, I heard that her family conditions are not bad either, her mother is the chief nurse of the hospital, her father is a retired military officer, and her brother also works in the Construction Bureau. I didn't expect her to be so slutty in private. She acted like she had never seen a man before. She wasn't even married yet but was already mixing with someone else. Not only did she make that kind of painting with him, she said it was secretly painted by that man. I may not know but how could I not know, she didn't even go back to the dormitory during that time, she must have rolled around with him, who knows what really happened..."
...
Pei Yong received the call while at work. Pei Shuangshuang was currently in the hospital. Her leg, which had not yet healed, was injured again after fighting with someone.
After going through so much recently, hearing about something like this, his emotions were very calm.
Wang Yue was already there when he arrived at the hospital. Pei Shuangshuang lay on the hospital bed with an ashen face. Liu Chunhua was busy going back and forth in a panic, being ordered around by Wang Yue.
It was obvious that she was venting her anger on Liu Chunhua. However, Liu Chunhua was also obedient and did not resist at all.
Pei Yong walked in and stood in front of her hospital bed, trying to be patient as he spoke, "What's going on again?"
After this incident, Wang Yue was also much more timid in front of him. She quickly explained, "The girl is already like this. Don't be angry with her. This incident was really not Shuangshuang's fault. It was those gossipy people in the tea room talking badly about Shuangshuang. That's what caused the dispute. Shuangshuang already had a leg injury. With this fight, it got even worse. The doctor said she needs to be hospitalized for a few days."
No matter how bad a person is, she always has a fragile side. As Wang Yue spoke, her tears flowed down.
How could she not feel heartache for her own child?
Although all of this was expected.
He couldn't bring himself to blame anymore. Pei Yong gloomily lowered his eyes, "What do you want me to do, just say it straight."
If they didn't need something from him, he could completely believe that this mother and daughter would not let him know about this at all.
After all, that's how they had been in those years before.
Whenever he tried to get close to Pei Shuangshuang, she would always have an unforgiving attitude.
He understood. After all, divorce hurts the children the most. But he was not omnipotent either, he would get tired sometimes too.
He didn't dare expect anyone to understand him. He just hoped they would make less trouble and cause less incidents, that was good enough.
"The main reason why Mu Yang hurt Shuangshuang so badly has to do with An San," said Wang Yue as she observed Pei Yong's expression. Seeing that he just frowned, she continued, "Shuangshuang has liked An ZhiXian for a long time, not just for a day or two. That feeling has been there since childhood. It was only after seeing Mu Yang that day that I realized Shuangshuang didn't actually like him, she clearly saw ZhiXian's shadow in him. If not for the third son marrying into the An family, messing up the seniority between the two families, Shuangshuang wouldn't have lost hope. And there's also that An ZhiXian, he knew Shuangshuang's feelings for him but didn't settle down until now, leaving Shuangshuang uncertain. This is how things got to this point now..."
Pei Yong finally understood a little. Frowning, he said, "Don't dwell on this matter. An ZhiXian looks down on your daughter from the start. Just don't keep humiliating yourselves chasing after him."
Shuangshuang had gone after him desperately for a period of time before, when she was still a young girl. He didn't even look at her then.
Now, having had an affair with a man out of wedlock and made a scandal of herself, known by everyone in Jin City, how could she still have the nerve to pine after him?
Pei Shuangshuang pulled the quilt over her head and cried under it, "I know I've done wrong and embarrassed you all. I don't deserve An ZhiXian either. But Dad, I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore. I can't stand the way people look at me and talk about me. Just don't bother with me anymore and let me fend for myself..."
Wang Yue wiped the corners of her eyes, "We know Shuangshuang is no match for the An family now. Let's not talk about all those things in the past. Pei Yong, see how pitiful your daughter is, please help her. Find her a remote place to work so she can avoid the limelight for a few years until people forget about this. You don't know how badly people outside are talking about her. She really can't stay here anymore!"
Wang Yue was also reluctant for Pei Shuangshuang to leave her side, but she had seen her condition these days with her own eyes and was truly worried that she couldn't handle it.
The idea of letting her leave to avoid trouble did not just occur to her today, but was carefully considered over many days.
They didn't even dare to think about her future prospects now. For a woman it was different from a man. After something like this happening, spit and gossip could drown a person. Just being able to live in peace was better than nothing.
Wang Yue did not bring up An ZhiXian for no reason. She knew that Pei Yong would definitely refuse before she even asked. She took the opportunity to get him to find a different job for Shuangshuang. With this buildup, it wouldn't seem so unreasonable for him to agree to such a simple request.
Sure enough, after the preceding persuasion, he didn't think the request to change jobs was so unreasonable.
Pei Yong thought for a long time before speaking, "Let me think carefully about this matter."
