It seems that Wei Qingxue was indeed angered by her best friend. Initially, she helped out of loyalty, but ended up being seen as the villain and was blamed for ruining a relationship. It was truly a thankless effort.
Just like Wei Qingxue, countless netizens were also upset because they were consistently speaking up for this woman. Who knew while they were angry, the person involved had already forgiven, making the netizens look like fools, being upset for no reason.
Lin Fan asked, "So, how did it end up?"
Wei Qingxue replied angrily, "I couldnât stand it, and I blocked all her contact information in one go. I wonât deal with her ever again, who cares what happens to her in the future!"
Lin Fan chuckled with both amusement and sympathy, saying, "Donât be mad. Blocking her is enough. I can guarantee sheâll come back to you, because domestic violence happens either zero times or countless times, sheâll get beaten again, just wait and see. But next time, donât let your heart soften, okay?"
Wei Qingxue replied, "Alright, Iâll listen to you."
Lin Fan said, "Thatâs right. Your best friend was not considerate. Matters of the heart should be handled by oneself. If one seeks help from others, they should think about the consequences in advance, instead of making the helper uncomfortable."
Wei Qingxue said, "To be honest, Iâm usually quite busy with work. If I hadnât seen her being beaten so badly, I wouldnât have gotten involved in her relationship issues. But clearly, this has escalated beyond a mere relationship matter, thatâs why I helped."
Lin Fan said, "You did nothing wrong, the netizens did nothing wrong either. Youâre all just kind-hearted, which is admirable."
Lin Fan believed that issues between spouses should be resolved by themselves. If they really cannot, and must seek help from others, they need to think carefully and consider the consequences, otherwise, it will result in those who help being stuck in a difficult situation.
Many people, especially women, donât understand this logic. They like to vent to their friends about their partners. As a friend, of course, one tends to take their side. When you vent about your partner, they will certainly support you. But while your friend is worrying for you, you turn around and show affection with your partner. What is your friend to think?
Over time, your friend will get annoyed. When they hear you complaining about your partner again, they wonât know how to respond, and you still wonât realize that youâve caused them distress.
Relationship issues are inherently complicated, like drinking water, only you know if itâs hot or cold. Others canât help you. A sensible person, a smart person, a mature person, should learn to handle their own relationship problems and not trouble others.
In this case, the woman was being domestically violated by her husband and sought Wei Qingxueâs help. Wei Qingxue found the situation serious and stepped in to assist. That was Qingxueâs sense of justice, and she wasnât wrong at all, she did her best to help.
Wei Qingxue wasnât at fault, the fault lies with the woman.
When she intended to seek help, she should have considered Wei Qingxueâs position and thought about the consequences.
If the woman had made up her mind to divorce her husband without any room for reconciliation, then seeking help is acceptable.
But if she would forgive her husband, itâs better for her to handle it herself without bothering others, because that turns the helper into her husbandâs enemy, how awkward would that be?
"I wonât meddle in such crappy matters again!" Wei Qingxue said, feeling wronged.
Lin Fan laughed, "If you encounter people venting about their partner again, just listen, keep calm, donât get angry, donât sympathize, and definitely donât join in the venting or give advice. Just be a good listener. Itâs her own relationship problem for her to solve."
Wei Qingxue said, "What you say makes sense. But like in this instance, she was beaten so badly, doing nothing feels off, doesnât it?"
Lin Fan said, "Always remember one principle: protect yourself as much as possible. If you can do nothing, do nothing. In such a situation, probe into her situation first and see what the outcome might be. If she is truly determined to leave her husband, you can offer a little help within your capabilities. For example, if she asks you for media exposure, you can connect her to someone, let her contact the media herself. Again, the less you do, the better. If you find out she might reconcile with her husband, then do nothing and let her be. Also, remember, donât get angry, stay calm. In the end, itâs their marital issue, how does it concern you? Right? Itâs not worth getting yourself upset."
Hearing Lin Fanâs words, Wei Qingxue nodded repeatedly on the other end of the phone. Lin Fan was absolutely right, it should be like this. She suddenly felt relieved, of course, why get angry over other peopleâs marital issues? Itâs not like she was the one being beaten!
Sometimes, one canât blame the world for being indifferent because often, good intentions do not get good returns. Having gone through many such experiences, one naturally learns to view things coldly.
"Lin Fan, thank you for guiding me, I feel much better now." Wei Qingxue laughed, feeling grateful to Lin Fan and even more in awe of him. How was Lin Fan so wise?
Lin Fan smiled, "Youâre welcome."
Wei Qingxue said, "About dinner tomorrow night..."
Lin Fan was about to answer her but suddenly noticed something and said, "Let me get back to you after I return to Yun City and check my schedule. Itâs a bit urgent, I have to hang up now."
Lin Fan hung up on Wei Qingxue and parked the car on the side emergency lane.
On the other end, hearing Lin Fan hastily hang up, Wei Qingxue felt a little anxious. What did Lin Fan encounter that made him hang up so urgently? Had she talked too much and annoyed Lin Fan?
When it comes to people you care about, you often overthink things, which canât be helped.
Indeed, she was overthinking. Lin Fan didnât hang up because he found her annoying, but because he encountered an emergency.
It turns out, next to the highway, there was a railway. Lin Fan, with his sharp eyes, saw that there was a female lying on the road!
At the same time, there was the roaring sound of a train in the distance, speeding towards them.
Oh shit!
Is this girl attempting to commit suicide by laying on the tracks?
If Lin Fan hadnât encountered it, it wouldâve been one thing, but since he did, he couldnât just ignore it unless he was powerless. But he was capable of saving her, so it was hard for him to turn a blind eye.
Thereâs a saying in Spider-Man, with great power comes great responsibility. At first glance, itâs a very positive statement, but in fact, isnât it also a constraint for heroes? Because when capable, encountering injustice makes it hard to psychologically ignore helping. This might as well be the fate of superheroes.
Heroes are often portrayed tragically because of this. Like Iron Man, to save half the universeâs lives, he snapped his fingers and sacrificed himself, just because he had the ability. This ability ultimately constrained his heart, making it hard for him not to give, even if it meant sacrificing his life.
Lin Fan was clear-headed. His bottom line was high. He certainly wouldnât sacrifice his own life for others. In his view, no matter half the universeâs life, he wouldnât snap his fingers.
Of course, heâd still offer a small help within his ability.
So, we saw Lin Fan open the car door, jump out of the highway, and rapidly run towards the girl lying on the tracks.
