Chapter 511: 24-Hour Protection
If Song Wanqiu didn’t want to be harassed by Qiao Man again, the best way to go about that was simply to stay away from that woman.
“Are you really leaving?” Sheng Tianci, who was standing at the side, couldn’t help but ask. “Must you leave? Can’t we try to resolve this situation? If you and your mother are afraid that, that bastard Rong Cheng will try to take revenge on you, I can hire the best bodyguards to protect you twenty-four seven. How about that?”
Rong Si shook his head. “Mommy said we can’t continue to be in Uncle’s debt. We won’t be able to repay it.”
“What? Did I say you had to repay me? I did what I wanted to do, willingly!”
Sheng Tianci didn’t want Song Wanqiu and Rong Si to leave. He was already used to having them in his life, and he knew that he had feelings for Song Wanqiu.
He had finally found someone he liked, and he really wanted to keep her.
Su Jiu’s face fell, and her eyes started to water. She pulled Rong Si’s hand and said, “Big Brother, don’t go… There must be a way. Can’t you stay?”
Rong Si looked down and remained silent.
The police officer brought them into the interrogation room. Once they entered it, Sheng Tianci walked up to Song Wanqiu and locked his gaze on her. “Why are you leaving? Have you already decided?”
Song Wanqiu nodded. “I want to stay away from that man. As long as he’s with Qiao Man, Ah Si and I won’t have a peaceful life. After what happened, he won’t let this matter go. Also, I don’t want to see him again.”
Even a glance at him made her want to throw up. She felt like she were eating a fly.
Sheng Tianci quickly replied, “If you’re worried that they’ll come to find you again, I’ll get you a bodyguard. If you’re worried that you might be targeted like before and blacklisted from jobs, I can arrange for you to work at Shengshi Group.”
In short, he could do a lot for her!
Song Wanqiu shook her head and bitterly smiled. “Thank you, but there’s no need.
“Even if I have bodyguards, even if you can get a job for me, as long as I live in the same city as them, I will still be afraid. Instead of that, why not leave this city and live a peaceful life elsewhere?
“Besides, I already owe you guys enough. I can’t repay the favors I owed you before. I can’t continue to depend on you. I’ll feel bad about it.” Song Wanqiu sincerely looked at Sheng Tianci. “Especially you, Young Master Sheng. I’m really grateful that you helped me so much. I don’t know how to repay you anymore.”
Sheng Tianci blurted out, “If you really want to repay me, don’t leave. Also, if you leave, are you not going to go ahead with this lawsuit?”
Song Wanqiu shook her head again. “I’m sorry. Qiao Man came to talk to me again this morning, and after talking to her, I decided not to go ahead with the lawsuit. On one hand, I don’t want to trouble you, but on the other hand… I don’t want to have anything to do with Rong Cheng anymore. Even when the lawsuit is over, there’s still a chance I won’t be free of him and Qiao Man.”
They could say that she was disappointing them, but she really had just one simple wish—to live a normal life and let Ah Si live like a normal child.
Sheng Tianci closed his eyes and clenched his hand by his side. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Su Jiu let go of her father’s hand and ran to Song Wanqiu. She anxiously looked at her. “Auntie, Little Jiu can’t bear to let you and Big Brother leave.”
Looking at the little girl in front of her, Song Wanqiu felt tears welling up in her eyes.
She reached out to touch the little girl’s small hand and gently said, “Auntie can’t bear to leave you either. But Auntie has already decided. It’s alright. Even if we leave, we can still meet. Auntie promises you that I’ll come back to visit you from time to time, okay?”
