His tone was very steady, without a hint of sarcasm, yet in Tong Yuanyuanâs ears, it inexplicably sounded mocking.
Ji Siâs words did not end there.
"Miss Tong Yuanyuan, you are an adult, so I trust you have sufficient self-control and reasoning ability, and can be responsible for any decision you make under normal thinking."
"As for this matter itself, there is simply no room for maneuver."
Ji Si stood up and paused as he was leaving.
"Oh, thereâs one more thing."
He glanced at Tong Yuanyuan and said, "A girlâs body is a precious thing, I hope you can cherish it."
The door was gently closed, and Tong Yuanyuan squatted helplessly on the ground.
The huge shame rising from her heart made her not want to see anyone at this moment,
but soon unexpectedly someone came in.
Her aunt had heavily painted makeup on her face and began scolding sharply as soon as she saw her: "Let me see, our Miss Tong, so gentle and kind, can even harm peopleâs lives without hesitation!"
She looked at Tong Yuanyuan as if sheâd seen something filthy: "Oh heavens, if others knew you were raised by us, who knows how theyâd point fingers behind our backs? Luckily, our Jia Yuan went abroad, otherwise, who knows how sheâd be dragged down by you..."
Tong Yuanyuanâs uncle seemed unable to listen any longer and tugged at his wifeâs hand.
Her aunt impatiently shook it off and shouted even louder: "What is it? Which word of mine is wrong? Itâs she who has no shame, with a vicious heart! Guardian of a murderer, does that title sound nice when spoken? I even feel ashamed for her, too embarrassed to go outside next month! If you ask me, such a person, surviving in the world..."
The words that followed were increasingly unbearable to hear.
Tong Yuanyuan listened to the shrewish scolding, and her mind suddenly thought of the man who had just left.
It was as if they belonged to two different worlds.
Once again, she thought: Why is it that the fate between Ling Su and I is so different?
If, if back then, my guardian was like that man, would my life have been less burdensome?
Who doesnât want to live without worries and burdens?
Ji Si left the room and talked alone with the police for a while.
Shen Nian sat outside waiting the entire time, until he saw Ji Si come out.
He hurriedly went up to him: "Is everything resolved?"
Ji Si glanced at him, nodded: "No problem."
Shen Nian let out a breath, somewhat unsure asked: "They wonât disturb my sister, will they?"
Ji Si opened the car door and sat in, started the car after Shen Nian got in as well.
"It wonât affect Susu," Ji Si replied.
Silence fell between them.
To speak frankly, Shen Nian and Ji Si were pretty much strangers.
For Ji Si, the only person he ever needed to be responsible for was Ling Su. As for Shen Nian, he was brought home by Ling Suâs decision, so naturally, everything was arranged by her.
"Youâre quite good," Ji Si suddenly said.
The words were abrupt, but Shen Nian caught the meaning.
He awkwardly snorted: "Whether Iâm good or not, doesnât need your evaluation."
Ji Siâs cool lips curved into a shallow arc.
Susuâs vision was very good, this young man is someone who understands gratitude and is straightforward.
With this, he could feel a bit more relieved.
