Chapter 52: Found a Man Again

The little girl seemed only three or four years old. She was clothed in a pink cotton dress, and two pigtails hung down her back. Her fair and soft little face was extremely adorable, while her big and watery eyes looked lively.

When Su Jiu realized that the woman was looking at her, she sweetly smiled. “Hello, Auntie. I’m Little Jiu.”

Her cute, child-like voice melted the woman’s heart.

“Hello!” The woman smiled and greeted Su Jiu. She then turned her gaze to Sheng Tianci. “Hello, I’m Song Wanqiu. Ah Si brought you here, right? I’m really sorry to trouble you.”

Sheng Tianci quickly said, “No, no! It’s not troublesome at all. He’s a good kid. Since we met him, we can’t pretend to be ignorant about his plight. Hence, we followed him up. I heard from him that your health is not good. Sickness is a very serious issue. It’d be best to not delay treatment. How about this? We’ll send you to the hospital and get you treated as soon as possible.”

“Well…” Song Wanqiu bit her lips as if she had been placed in a tough spot. She needed a lot of money to treat her illness, but how could she have the cheek to borrow money from someone she had met for the first time and trouble them?

Su Jiu ran toward the bed. She blinked as she persuaded the woman, “Auntie, since we’re already here, can you come with us to the hospital to get treatment for your illness? If you recover, Big Brother won’t have to pick up rubbish every day!”

Sheng Tianci nodded. “Yes, once you recover, your child can resume a normal lifestyle. At his age, he should be going to school. So, go to the hospital. My car is right outside.”

Song Wanqiu wanted her son to lead a normal life like other children. Hence, she was convinced even though she still felt bad. “Then… I’ll have to trouble you. I’ll definitely think of a way to return the money to you as soon as possible.”

His mother was weak, so Rong Si helped her down the stairs. She accidentally stumbled, but luckily, Sheng Tianci was there to catch her in time, preventing her from tumbling down the stairs.

Song Wanqiu hurriedly said, “Thank you.”

Looking at her flushed cheeks and embarrassed expression, Sheng Tianci felt a little shy. He immediately let go of her and pretended to be calm. “You’re welcome. Slow down. There’s no need to rush.”

When the woman reached the ground level, she happened to meet a few middle-aged women who were playing cards. One of them was the foul-mouthed Madam Zhang.

When Madam Zhang saw Sheng Tianci and Song Wanqiu leaving the stairway together, she immediately mocked her, “Oh, no wonder I haven’t seen you for so long. So you’ve found yourself another man, huh? Not bad, you’re quite capable.”

All of the other women evilly laughed. Those who hung out with Madam Zhang were of the same nature; after all, birds of a feather flock together.

In a few seconds, they already imagined various scenarios and immersed themselves in wild thoughts.

Madam Zhang glanced at Sheng Tianci and noticed that he was a young and handsome man. Judging from his clothes, she could tell that he wasn’t an ordinary person. Did Song Wanqiu find herself a rich, young bachelor?

Feeling envious, she immediately scorned her. “Young man, let me warn you. Don’t be fooled by this woman’s looks. Do you know how many men she has been involved with? She’s not a good woman. In fact, she’s a seductress! If you get involved with her, you’ll suffer. Who knows how many times she’ll cheat on you?”

Rong Si glared at her. “Nonsense!”

“Nonsense?” Madam Zhang sneered. “Then tell me, who is your father? Your mother has seduced so many men that you don’t even know whose son you are!”

In front of such humiliation, Song Wanqiu’s face turned pale, and her entire body started to tremble.
