If it were anyone else, Rong Si would have resisted and retreated a step.
However, he just couldn’t resist Su Jiu. In fact, he liked it when she acted so intimately. Hence, he motionlessly stood there and let her stroke his head.
Before leaving, Rong Si turned around and shot a last glance at the building.
When the trio returned to the apartment, Su Jiu invited Rong Si to her house for dinner. Not long after, Song Wanqiu returned as well. She thanked Su Shengjing and brought Rong Si home.
After closing the door, Song Wanqiu turned around and found her son standing behind her.
His dark eyes were fixated on her as if he were trying to read her mind.
Although Song Wanqiu suddenly felt a little guilty, she smiled as if nothing had happened. “Ah Si, Mommy has good news for you. A school is willing to accept you. It’s the best primary school in the city. You can go to school soon. Are you happy?”
Unlike what she expected, Rong Si’s expression was cold without a hint of happiness.
Song Wanqiu immediately got nervous and reached out to stroke his cheek. “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”
Rong Si suddenly said, “You went to find that man today.”
He was stating a fact not asking a question.
Song Wanqiu was at a loss for words as she looked at him in shock.
How… How did he know?
Rong Si asked again, “Did he bully you?”
Recalling Rong Cheng’s shameless face and the words he had uttered, Song Qiu endured the sense of disgust rising within her. She feigned nonchalance and said, “No.
“I went to look for him, but I only asked him to help me contact a school. I didn’t ask for anything else, so he didn’t make things difficult for me.”
“You’re not lying to me?” How is it possible for that man to let her off so easily?
In Rong Si’s memory, whenever his mother was with that man, she often hid and secretly cried. Her eyes were always puffy and swollen from crying.
Sometimes, there would even be injuries on her face. It was obvious that, that man used to beat her, but she never uttered a word.
Does she think that I know nothing?
Song Wanqiu hurriedly said, “I’m not lying to you. Look! I’m fine, right?”
Rong Si scrutinized her. When he saw that she did not seem to be injured, he felt relieved. He then calmly asked, “Did he agree?”
Song Qiu cast her gaze downward and shook her head.
A grim look crept into Rong Si’s eyes.
“However,” Song Wanqiu looked up, and her eyes sparkled. “I’m very lucky to have met Mr. Sheng. He’s the one who helped us. You remember that uncle, right? He’s a friend of Little Jiu’s father.”
When Song Wanqiu had left the office, she had not expected Sheng Tianci to follow her.
As he kept asking her, she had no choice but to reveal the truth to him.
Although she had not intended to ask him for help, Sheng Tianci had smiled and said, “You want Rong Si to attend school, right? That’s simple! Just leave it to me.”
He had made a call and spoken to the person on the other end for a few minutes, then said that everything had been settled.
She could not believe it. It was only later she found out that the Sheng family was actually a shareholder of the best primary school in the city.
Now, she owed Sheng Tianci another big favor, but she did not know how to repay him. All she could do was thank him from the bottom of her heart. Even when she did that, Sheng Tianci complained that she was being overly polite.
He had said that if she continued acting so formally, he would not help Rong Si attend school anymore.
He had even given her his name card, saying that she could just approach him should she encounter any difficulties in the future.
In exchange, he had asked for her phone number.
Just the thought of this matter made Song Wanqiu shy.
Rong Si remembered Sheng Tianci and asked, “Did he really help you?”
“Yeah! So the next time you see that uncle, you must thank him. He has helped us a lot.”
