Chapter 119: Big Brother, Don’t Lie to Me
They went downstairs and arrived at Song Wanqiu’s house.
At this moment, Song Wanqiu was looking at a recruitment notice on her phone with a worried expression.
For some reason, although she had been looking for a job for a long time, no one had accepted her.
Even if an interviewer seemed to be very satisfied with her and asked her to go home and wait for their updates, in the end, all she got was a message that said “Sorry, you didn’t pass the interview!”
If this continued, she would struggle to earn a living and sustain her family.
Moreover, she owed Sheng Tianci a lot of money.
Just as she was mulling over this problem, she heard a knock on the door. Song Wanqiu immediately walked over to open the door. When she saw the people standing at the door, she was stunned. After a while, a wide grin spread across her cheeks. “Why are you all here? I thought it’s just Ah Si, so I didn’t even dress myself up.”
Song Wanqiu’s long hair was draped loosely over her shoulders. Although she had worn a plain dress, she exuded a gentle aura that made people subconsciously take a liking to her.
Su Jiu admired Song Wanqiu’s beautiful face. She then walked forward, hugged her legs, and looked up at her. “Auntie, I’m moving soon to a new house that Daddy said is big and beautiful. But, I can’t bear to leave you and Big Brother. Let’s go over to that house together, okay? Daddy can help you rent a house!”
What?
Song Wanqiu was shocked. “I can’t accept such a huge favor!”
They had already been very kind by lending her money to treat her illness. How could she be shameless enough to demand more?
“Why not? Auntie, just come with us.” Su Jiu cutely puffed up her cheeks.
Song Wanqiu glanced at Su Shengjing. Although she really wanted to let her child stay in a better environment, she was not very close to Su Shengjing. It would be inappropriate to make him pay for her rent.
Noticing her dilemma, Sheng Tianci took a step forward and gave a suggestion. “How about this? Leave the rent to me. Anyway, I have nothing but loads of money! If no one is staying in the apartment opposite Little Jiu’s, I’ll rent it. Isn’t it good that both of you can be neighbors?”
Su Shengjing glanced at him.
It’s rare for him to pay so much attention to a woman. Could it be that he has taken a liking to her?
He did not say anything much; he merely nodded in agreement. “That apartment is in the city center, and its surroundings are pretty good. Some pretty high-ranked kindergartens and high schools are in its vicinity. It’s the optimal time for your child to go to school, so it isn’t good to delay it any further.”
Song Wanqiu opened her mouth. She wanted to say something. However, Sheng Tianci interrupted her, not giving her a chance to refuse. “Alright, I’ve already made my decision. If you don’t agree, it means that you’re being rude to me, Su Shengjing and Little Jiu, is that okay?”
“That’s right. Auntie, let’s be neighbors!” Su Jiu excitedly said and grabbed Song Wanqiu’s hand.
Song Wanqiu’s heart softened as she held Little Jiu’s tiny hand. To her surprise, she actually agreed. “Okay.”
Sheng Tianci smiled in satisfaction. Perhaps, it was because he took pity on this mother and son pair or it was something else, but he always had an urge to help them without wanting anything in return.
Song Wanqiu stroked Rong Si’s head. “Ah Si, quickly thank them.”
Rong Si looked at Sheng Tianci and said, “Thank you, Uncle.”
“You’re welcome. It’s fine as long as you and your mother can live a better life.”
Song Wanqiu shot him a grateful look. “I really don’t know how to thank you. I’ll think of a way to return the medical fees, the living expenses, and the rent to you.”
Sheng Tianci generously said, “No need to rush! I don’t lack money at the moment, so it’s fine even if you repay me after eight or ten years.”
Su Jiu’s gaze landed on Rong Si’s face, and she sweetly said, “Big brother, come over after packing your luggage with Auntie. Don’t lie to me, okay?”
