Wei Yan looked in the direction Li Lin had left, as if to confirm if she had left or not.

Zhou Yu felt that Wei Yan seemed to be very afraid of Li Lin.

“Thank you for speaking up for us, but the matter between Auntie Lin and our family is too complicated. You shouldn’t get involved. Knowing too much will only affect your mood. No one can help our family.” Wei Yan shook her head, her eyes filled with loneliness and helplessness.

Wei Yan’s pitiful appearance aroused Zhou Yu’s protectiveness.

The reason Zhou Yu wanted to be a reporter was that she was a curious and protective person. She wanted to report all the unfair things in the world and expose the unjust reality. If ordinary people heard Wei Yan’s words, they might think that Wei Yan’s family was very complicated and it was better not to get involved. However, to Zhou Yu, the more complicated and difficult the matter, the more she should help.

Zhou Yu looked at Wei Yan firmly and encouraged her. “Don’t be afraid. I’m a reporter from the city. I can do a lot of things. If you have any questions, just tell me. I might not be powerful enough alone, but I have the entire television station backing me.”

Wei Yan seemed to be moved by Zhou Yu’s words. She couldn’t help but turn around and pull Li Hai’s arm. With tears in her eyes, she said, “Mom, this woman is a reporter. Our teacher said that reporters uphold justice. She will definitely help us deal with the matter of Auntie Lin being a mistress and hooking up with my father.”

“What? Li Lin hooked up with your father?” Zhou Yu asked.

Wei Yan nodded and said hesitantly, “Besides, Auntie Lin’s son’s surname is Wei. I’ve seen him before. He looks very similar to my father, Wei Gang, when he was young, but he’s only two months younger than me. Could it be that my father was already with Auntie Lin so long ago? I don’t know. These are all my guesses. Sister, is there any way to find out if Wei Mu is my father’s son?”

Zhou Yu was shocked.

Firstly, she didn’t expect Li Lin to dare to raise her and Wei Gang’s illegitimate child in the same county. Secondly, she realized that Wei Yan was very smart and attentive despite her young age, since Wei Yan realized many problems. On the other hand, Li Hai looked gentle and easy to bully.

Zhou Yu had done many interviews and seen many strange things, but she had never expected such a ridiculous thing to happen near her. She had almost become friends with a mistress who had destroyed someone else’s family.

At the thought that she had almost been deceived by Li Lin, Zhou Yu became even angrier. “How could Li Lin do such an immoral thing? She’s too shameless.”

With that, she held Wei Yan’s hand and comforted her. “Good child, don’t worry. I’ll definitely stand up for you and let everyone see her true colors!”

Hearing her words, Wei Yan immediately pretended to be afraid. “Don’t. If you tell anyone, Daddy will beat us to death when we get home.”

“What? Your father beats you two?” Zhou Yu was even more shocked.

Wei Yan nodded. “Dad despises me for being a girl. No matter how good my grades are, he doesn’t pay any attention to me. In his heart, only his son is important. A daughter is a good-for-nothing.”

The more Zhou Yu listened, the angrier she became. In this era, there were actually still people who had such backward thoughts. She had followed her parents to the city to study when she was in junior high school. In her heart, townsfolk had always been virtuous people. She didn’t expect such a disgusting thing to happen here.

As she looked at Li Hai, she tried her best to advise her, “Domestic violence is illegal. I guess you must have been holding it in so that your daughter wouldn’t be sad. But you have to know that if parents don’t have a harmonious relationship and fight very often, it will traumatize the child.”

“Listen to me. You have to divorce him so that you can be completely free. Don’t believe a man’s lies. If he can abuse you once, he will do it for the rest of his life.”
