Wan Lai Theorem

I, Lin Jianqing, am a public interest lawyer who specializes in defending victims of domestic violence. My boyfriend Jiang Shu is a partner at a top law firm. He is rational and opposed to my "emotional" career choice. We love each other deeply, but we have argued countless times and neither of us wants to give in. Until I took on a high-profile case: defending a woman who had suffered long-term emotional abuse and ended up seriously injuring her husband when she resisted. At the trial, I made an impassioned speech. When the court was adjourned, the opposing lawyer came to me with a complex expression: "Lawyer Lin, do you know that your client's husband's surname is Jiang?" My mind roared. Jiang Shu once mentioned lightly that he had a "not very close cousin". That night, Jiang Shu was waiting for me in the apartment. His eyes were full of exhaustion and struggle that I had never seen before: "See the truth and withdraw the lawsuit. That is my cousin and the heir appointed by the family. This case will destroy him and us." I looked at the man I loved and asked clearly: "So, your rational brain calculated that sacrificing my client, a real victim, to maintain the dignity of your family is the 'optimal solution'?" He acquiesced. We didn't scream, we just separated peacefully. I continue to fight for my client. On the day the case was finally won, the media swarmed. Jiang Shu stood outside the crowd and sent me a message: "You won. I'm proud of you." Then came the next one: "But the family decided to use all resources to make it impossible for you to gain a foothold in the industry. And I... Can't resist." "I understand." I replied, "Jiang Shu, we are both right. It's just that your justice has boundaries, but mine does not."
