"Lin Wei won't pursue the matter about losing the child. She has already discussed it with her family. However, her mother-in-law is insisting on suing your husband for hitting her."
Qiao Zhiyi furrowed her brows, "If she wants to sue, let her sue."
"Zhiyi, what I mean is, can this be settled privately?" Director Tong said earnestly, "We all know Lin Wei's mother-in-law struck first, but it was your husband who hit back. Others could sensationalize it as 'a man hitting a woman', 'a young and fit man hitting an old lady'."
"In this information age, the internet is a dangerous place. Whether or not it was your husband first, if the uninformed netizens get wind of it, you will have no peace."
Director Tong was genuinely worried about this situation arising.
Qiao Zhiyi understood what Director Tong meant and knew she was looking out for their best interests.
Yet, the truth of the matter should not be distorted out of fear, allowing others to engage in wrongdoing.
