Now that her goal was achieved, and she knew she wasn’t Shen Jianhua’s illegitimate daughter, it was like an unexpected bonus.
The police were left speechless by Shen Mianmian’s words, never expecting someone of her tender age to know so much; no wonder she could score the highest in the city.
Here she was, a young girl, with no relatives at school, nobody to take care of her, and no money, her survival was in question.
The police were concerned about Shen Mianmian’s future wellbeing and inevitably turned their attention to He Nan, who had been silent since reporting the incident, acting as if it didn’t concern him.
But the aura emanating from him was very powerful, clearly indicating he was no ordinary man.
Moved by their concern for Shen Mianmian, the police started to speculate about the relationship between He Nan and Mianmian, "What is your relationship to her?"
"I’m a relative of the village head; he entrusted me with her care," He Nan said straight to the point, immediately easing the police’s wariness and becoming Mianmian’s guardian.
Mianmian quickly chimed in, "The village head knew about my family’s situation, worried that I’d be alone and uncared for in the city, he asked He Big Brother to look after me. I’m really grateful to He Big Brother for his care during my time in the city."
Hearing that He Nan was a relative of Zhao Family village head, the police immediately let down their guard. With his respectable appearance and wealth, He Nan was now effectively Mianmian’s guardian—presumably, he was the one providing her living expenses and tuition fees.
"I run a business in the city and am doing quite well. I plan to sponsor her education until she graduates," stated He Nan, sharing his intention without emotion.
Upon hearing this, all the police officers’ eyes lit up; with He Nan’s promise, Mianmian’s future living situation seemed to be resolved.
"Comrade He, Mianmian is a bright student with good grades. Sponsoring her education is a decision you definitely won’t regret." For more chapters visıt 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Mianmian feigned a touched expression and turned to He Nan, "He Big Brother, thank you. I definitely won’t forget your kindness after I graduate from college; you’ll be like my real brother."
After saying this, she playfully winked at He Nan on the sly.
He Nan’s expression darkened. The little girl was doing this on purpose; she wasn’t afraid of him at all and knew how to joke with him now.
After all the commotion, which lasted a couple of hours and led them out of the police station, it was already dark outside. Shen Mianmian stretched lazily, suddenly feeling an unprecedented sense of relief.
She cocked her head to look at He Nan, with a smile brimming in her eyes and said, "He Big Brother, you are now officially my guardian."
A flicker of deep meaning passed through He Nan’s eyes, "I will give you a living stipend every month from now on."
"Huh?" Shen Mianmian was momentarily stunned before grasping what he meant, "He Big Brother, weren’t those things you said inside just to reassure the police officers?"
Why did it sound like he was serious?
"I never joke about these matters," he walked towards where the car was parked.
"..." Shen Mianmian hurried to catch up, looking around to ensure no one was near, and then whispered, "He Big Brother, I have money now. The store makes a good amount every month, I don’t need your sponsorship, really, I don’t, I’m a little rich lady now."
"I’m a businessman, and I value integrity above all. I’ve already given my word; are you asking me to break it?" He Nan looked at her earnestly, as if saying that her refusal of his sponsorship would equate to tarnishing his reputation.
But... she really didn’t need any sponsorship!
Why did it feel like He Big Brother was forcing his sponsorship on her?
