After a while, Song Wanqiu looked up. “I want to ask for Ah Si’s opinion.”
“Ask him?” Qiao Man rolled her eyes. “He’s just a kid. What does he know? Song Wanqiu, I’m warning you not to waste my time!”
“You really want me to leave, don’t you?” Song Wanqiu suddenly laughed. Her smile was clear and shallow, but it was breathtakingly beautiful.
The officer who was waiting outside the interrogation room couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her.
Song Wanqiu’s smile was very unpleasant for Qiao Man.
Rong Cheng couldn’t forget such a face. Hence, Qiao Man hoped Song Wanqiu would get lost and never appear again.
“Yes, I want you to leave. Don’t be an eyesore in front of me!” Qiao Man said with annoyance. “Otherwise, I won’t be polite to you!”
“When have you ever been polite to me?” Song Wanqiu smirked. “You were the one who made it so that I couldn’t find a job previously, right?”
“So what? Song Wanqiu, I’ll give you one chance now. If you don’t want me to target you and your son, you better get out of the city,” Qiao Man glared at her.
She looked like she wanted to swallow her whole.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse, the police officer looked at the time and said to Qiao Man, “Alright, it’s time. Miss Qiao, you should leave.”
Qiao Man stood up straight and gave Song Wanqiu a side glance before leaving. “Think carefully. Give me an answer by today.”

Back at the apartment, Su Shengjing brought Su Jiu and Rong Si out after breakfast.
He had already contacted the lawyer and arranged to meet at a cafe. Sheng Tianci had already gone ahead of them.
When they arrived at the coffee shop, Sheng Tianci and the lawyer were already there.
Sheng Tianci was saying something to the lawyer, his expression unprecedentedly serious.
Su Shengjing carried Su Jiu over and sat down beside Sheng Tianci. “What did the lawyer say?”
The lawyer pushed his glasses up and said to him, “I already know the whole story. Although it’s not a complicated case, it’s very tricky. After all, the other party is the CEO of the Rong Corporation. If they want to file a lawsuit, this matter will blow up and attract a lot of attention. I just don’t know what the parties involved are thinking. Do they want to file a lawsuit or settle it privately?”
Settle it privately?
Ha, it would be too easy on that animal.
Sheng Tianci asked with a cold face, “If we fight a lawsuit, can we win?”
The lawyer hesitated for a few seconds. “How should I put this? It’s not that we can’t win a lawsuit, but everything will be much more difficult when the matter involves people with prestige. The court will take a long time just to go through the process. The case might not end even in a year or so. This is not good for the parties involved. To be honest, if this kind of thing gets out, no matter what happens, there will be unfortunate consequences for the woman.
“I don’t think you can imagine what the public will say about her. Now that the internet is so developed, it won’t be hard to uncover information about all the people involved in the matter. Many people will say that the matter was premeditated. They will say that the president of the Rong Corporation would never do such a thing to an ordinary woman. He must have been seduced by the woman.”
The lawyer sighed. “This is a secondary injury to the client. To fight a lawsuit, one has to be mentally prepared for it. I’ve been in the industry for so many years, and I’ve seen many similar cases. Many women who were at a disadvantage ended up retracting their complaints because they were afraid of the backlash. They chose to be silent instead.”
