Wu Mengying heard the neighbors' words and cried even harder.
But her parents showed no signs of remorse. They muttered, "I let her go to high school, isn't that enough?"
Wu Meng Ying lowered her head, unsure if she had grown accustomed to such treatment or if she was simply too disappointed. She remained silent.
Qi Lan Hong quickly consoled her in a low voice, "Don't be sad, Master Shen will help you, and I will help you too. Let's go to school together and find work to earn tuition and living expenses. If your parents dare to stop you or lock you up, we'll call the police!"
Wu Meng Ying was already deeply disappointed in her parents. She nodded in response to Qi Lan Hong's words but remained silent.
Shen Ye glanced at Wu Meng Ying and said, "Even if your parents try to force you into a sinister marriage and lock you up, you can still call the police."
Wu Meng Ying was taken aback.
Shen Ye looked at her expressionlessly.
After some time passed, Wu Meng Ying choked and said, "Forget it..."
Shen Ye's face turned cold.
This kind of family dispute was similar to domestic violence-when the victim called the police while being beaten, but then the spouse would immediately plead for mercy and demand the police to release the person.
Shen Ye didn't know what others thought, but he believed that such people weren't worth helping.
While specific situations required individual analysis, Shen Ye always valued the victim's own thoughts when helping others.
Now, Wu Meng Ying's situation was similar. Her parents had sold her, and she didn't even dare to call the police.
Even if he helped her now, if her parents continued to harass her in the future, she would likely be controlled by them again.
In the end, she needed to become strong on her own.
Shen Ye swept his gaze over Wu Meng Ying's face and asked her, "Do you think that since your parents raised you for over ten years, you want to repay their kindness and not hold them accountable this time? Or is it that you can't bear to see your parents being imprisoned?"
There was a difference between the two. If Wu Meng Ying forgave her parents to repay their kindness, Shen Ye could understand. But if it was out of softness, he felt that Wu Meng Ying might be bothered by her parents again in the future.
Wu Meng Ying lowered her head and said, "They raised me, so I'll consider it as repaying their kindness..."
As for the future, she definitely wouldn't have any further contact with her parents. At most, when they grew old, she would send them money for their retirement.
Shen Ye was quite satisfied with her answer and said, "Alright, let's consider the matter settled. I won't call the police."
Wu Meng Ying expressed her gratitude to him.
On the other side, upon hearing Wu Meng Ying's words, Father Wu erupted in anger and cursed at her, pointing a finger at her, "What do you mean? Are you teaming up with outsiders to bully your own parents? Why don't you just die!"
Mother Wu glared at Wu Meng Ying resentfully, as if she wanted to devour her.
Shen Ye sneered. Although he had promised not to call the police, it didn't mean he would let Father Wu and Mother Wu off the hook.
His gaze shifted to Boss Yao.
Upon seeing Shen Ye and Ye Ze, Boss Yao tried his best to hide behind his bodyguards, fearing that Shen Ye and Ye Ze would target him.
