Since then, Ye Yiyi often came to see me. Sometimes, she would bring cases to discuss with me. Other times, she would bring contracts for me to review. Over time, I became involved in her legal aid work. She would seek my opinions and invite me to meetings at her studio. I realized that I had found new value in myself. I was not just a tool for making money; I could also help others. I could contribute to society, to the country, and to the law.
Ye Yiyi also gave me money. I was surprised and asked, "What is this for?" Ye Yiyi smiled and said, "It's what you deserve." "Xia Ran, I know you don't care about money, but this is your hard-earned income." "You deserve it." My eyes turned red.
That day, I mustered the courage to make a request to Ye Yiyi. "Can I become a partner?" Ye Yiyi laughed and said, "Of course you can."
After that day, I began to rethink the future promotion of the studio. Short videos are incredibly popular right now. I wanted to use short videos to let more people see legal aid. I wanted people to understand that the law is not cold and distant. It has warmth. It can protect each and every one of us.
After discussing with Ye Yiyi, we decided to promote legal aid through storytelling. For our first theme, we chose domestic violence because it was something I had personally experienced. I wrote a story about a mother and daughter.
When she was young, the daughter saw her mother being beaten by her father and rushed in to protect her mother. However, she ended up getting hurt even worse. Crying, she asked her mother, "Mom, why does Dad hit us?" "Aren't we his family?"
Mother was silent.
The daughter had grown up.
She had also gotten married.
One day, she returned home with her own child and saw her mother being beaten by her father again.
This time, she did not rush forward.
She stood in place, watching coldly.
Her mother fell to the ground, raised her head, and looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes.
The daughter coldly said, "Call the police."
"Domestic violence is illegal."
Once this story was shared, it went viral.
Countless people left comments.
"I saw my dad hit my mom when I was a child."
"Me too."
"When I was young, I vowed to protect my mother."
"When I grew up, I realized I was powerless."
"Fortunately, I saw this story."
"Domestic violence is illegal."
"I want to protect my mother."
"I want to protect my wife."
"I want to protect my daughter."
...
The popularity of this video also boosted the visibility of our studio.
More and more people came to us for legal assistance.
I successfully obtained my Lawyer Qualification Certificate.
That day, Ye Yiyi told me, "A very impressive studio wants to collaborate with us."
"I've arranged to meet with the person in charge; come with me."
I nodded.
That day, Ye Yiyi and I met the legendary person in charge.
When I saw him, I was stunned.
Liang Xu smiled and said, "Long time no see."
...
Since Liang Xu joined us, our studio has reached new heights.
He is more professional than I am, more capable, and has better connections.
I didn't expect that he had been doing legal aid all along. I thought someone like him would only take on big cases. It seems I was too naive.
That day, I received a call from Mengxi. He said coldly, "Xia Ran, you've been deceived by him."
I frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Mengxi scoffed, "That senior of yours, he just wants to play with you."
"Did you sleep with him?"
"Did he marry you?"
"He's just a fraud!"
I was so angry that I trembled all over. "You're talking nonsense!"
Mengxi laughed, "Don't believe me? Go ask him."
"Xia Ran, only I would marry you."
"I love you the most."
I shouted, "Shut up!"
"Mengxi, let me tell you, even if Liang Xu deceives me, I'm willing!"
"I'm happy about it!"
"Who are you to control me?"
Mengxi fell silent. After a moment, he coldly snorted, "Are you willing to be the mistress?"
I was furious. "You're the mistress!"
"Your whole family is made up of mistresses!"
Suddenly, I heard a light laugh behind me. I turned around and saw Liang Xu standing there.
I froze instantly. It was awkward. Too awkward. I wanted to explain, but Liang Xu shook his head and said, "No need to explain."
"Xia Ran, you're not a mistress."
"You're a warrior."
That day, I discussed with Ye Yiyi and introduced Mengxi to a wealthy woman who practiced taekwondo.
I hope he can be a bit more restrained.
...
Time flies quickly.
In the blink of an eye, I am thirty-one years old.
I bought a house in Chengdu.
I finally have my own room.
I have waited for "the future."
...
After reminiscing about these moments, I looked out the window.
The sunlight shone on my face.
So warm.
I remembered when I was a child, my mother often told me, "If you endure hardships now, life will be better later."
"My mother suffered from a lack of education."
"You must get into college in the future."
"That way, you can live a good life."
But later, I got into college and found that "the future" never came.
Where is "the future"?
...
At thirty-one, I am still waiting for "the future."
However, I no longer just wait.
I will also live life to the fullest.
Love fiercely.
And speak out for society with all my strength.
