Does that mean Auntie is really leaving?
This was really sudden, and Su Jiu could not process the information at that moment. When she thought about how she would not be able to see her child for a long time, she suddenly felt her heart ache.
Pouting, she looked back and forth between Song Wanqiu and the little villain. “I don’t want Auntie and Big Brother to leave…”
Song Wanqiu patted her head and forced out a smile.
Rong Si was also silent. The atmosphere became stagnant. Su Shengjing’s and Sheng Tianci’s expressions were complicated.
In the end, it was Su Jiu who broke the silence. “Then, if Auntie has to really leave, you must bring Big Brother back to see me when you’re free. Otherwise, I will be very sad!”
“Alright, Auntie will definitely bring your big brother back to see you.” Song Wanqiu reached out to pat Su Jiu’s little head again, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Although this little girl was not related to her, she had brought warmth and happiness to her and Ah Si. In Song Wanqiu’s eyes, Little Jiu was no different than her daughter; she really could not bear to part with the little girl.
However, she did not want to trouble Sheng Tianci and the others anymore. If she stayed in this place any longer, not only would she fear for her life every day, but she would also feel bad as she really had nothing to give them in return.
She did not even dare to respond to Sheng Tianci’s feelings.
He was too good, and she was a divorced woman with a child. Her family background was not good. She felt that she was not qualified to stand by Sheng Tianci’s side. Even if he really liked her, his family would most likely not agree to it, just like the Rong family had.
Song Wanqiu did not want to step into a place that did not belong to her. From now on, she would lead a good life with her son. That would be enough.
Song Wanqiu stole a glance at Sheng Tianci from the corner of her eye. When she saw that he was still staring at her, looking like he wanted to say something, she suddenly felt even more upset. It was as if a heavy stone was pressing down on her.
She had let him down.
But he deserved better.

When Qiao Man found out that Song Wanqiu had agreed to her conditions, she also fulfilled her promise to not pursue the matter and pretended that nothing had happened. She even gave Song Wanqiu a large sum of money as living expenses for the trip to another city.
Since both parties had come to an agreement, the police did not probe the matter any further and released Song Wanqiu. When Song Wanqiu returned home, she took a look at the apartment that she had lived in for quite some time. Although she was reluctant to part with it, she still packed her luggage.
Song Wanqiu wanted to leave before Rong Cheng was discharged. She could not let him know where she had gone.
Seeing his mother packing, Rong Si did not stay idle either. He quietly packed up his belongings with her.
They didn’t have many things, so it wasn’t difficult to pack up all of their stuff.
Song Wanqiu turned to look at her son, who had not said a word. Feeling a little upset, she could not help but ask, “Ah Si, do you think Mommy is useless?”
Rong Si looked up at her. “No.”
In his heart, his mother was the best. He also knew that a large part of the reason his mother had done this was him. It would give him a different environment to grow up in, away from those bastards and bad people, and to live a good life.
“Actually, Mommy felt that she was useless by letting that bastard off just like that.” Song Wanqiu bitterly laughed. “But I can’t fight with him. I can only try my best to stay away from him. If I don’t leave, he will definitely come looking for trouble, and I don’t know what he will do.”
“Just because we can’t beat him now doesn’t mean we will be unable to do it in the future,” Rong Si said as he put his clothes into his luggage. His tone was calm, but there was a hint of strength behind it.
