CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: THE GOOD MAN QIU JIAHAO

"Dad! What are you doing here!"

Nuannuan noticed the light at the door, turned her head, and found it was Qi Yun. She immediately got up from the ground and ran over quickly.

Qi Yun squatted down, opened his arms, and hugged his daughter tightly, looking her over to confirm she wasn’t hurt, finally feeling relieved.

"Nuannuan, why are you here? Did anyone bully you?"

The little girl smiled happily when she saw her dad, and replied cheerfully, "Uncle Qiu brought me here. He bought me lots of tasty snacks, no one bullied me."

Hearing this, Qi Yun gently stroked his daughter’s chubby cheeks, trying to keep his voice gentle: "Nuannuan, you can’t just go off with others, even if it’s Uncle Qiu. Dad will worry."

Nuannuan nodded in a way that seemed like she understood, her big eyes blinking: "Dad, I know."

At this moment, Brother Peng came over, patted Qi Yun on the shoulder, and whispered, "It’s good your daughter is okay. Let’s go, let the police handle the rest."

Qi Yun nodded, stood up, and buried his daughter’s head in his chest as he walked outside.

When passing by Qiu Jiahao, he glared at him, the meaning clear.

After Qi Yun went downstairs, Brother Peng pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet and tossed it on the mahjong table.

Glancing at several young people, he said calmly, "Consider this medical expenses."

"If anyone still wants to make a move, come forward now."

After waiting a few seconds and seeing no one answer, he squatted down and patted Qiu Jiahao’s shoulder.

He said seriously, "Listen up, I don’t care what kind of tricks you’re playing with Shen Wanting, but if you dare to target Old Qi’s daughter again, you’ll regret it."

After speaking, Brother Peng stood up, tidied his clothes, and walked out the door.

At this time, everyone else in the teahouse was silent, the previous arrogance had vanished without a trace.

After Qi Yun went downstairs, he happened to meet the police arriving, so he roughly explained the situation, including the fight.

The leading officer looked at the child in his arms, then waved his hand and said, "Take the child home first. If we need your cooperation later, I’ll contact you."

Qi Yun nodded, thanked them, and got straight into the car.

The little girl was quiet in Qi Yun’s arms for a while, then started asking questions out of curiosity.

"Dad, why did those police uncles come?"

Qi Yun lowered his head, pinched his daughter’s cheek, and whispered, "Because there are bad people, the police uncles came to catch the bad people."

Nuannuan raised her little face and asked, "Will the police uncles also take Uncle Qiu away? Uncle Qiu isn’t a bad person."

Qi Yun was surprised by her words.

He smiled and asked his daughter, "Nuannuan, why do you think your Uncle Qiu isn’t a bad person?"

"Um..." The little girl blinked and pretended to think seriously for a moment before answering, "Because mom will scold me, but Uncle Qiu never does, and he often buys me nice snacks."

Qi Yun fell silent after hearing this. Children know best who treats them well and who doesn’t.

Who would have thought that Qiu Jiahao, who seems so annoying outside, is actually kind to children.

In his daughter’s mind, he’s a good person.

Perhaps this is the many sides of a person...

No matter how hateful a person may seem, there might be a hidden brilliance in them.

"So, Nuannuan, do you hope your Uncle Qiu won’t be taken away by the police uncles?"

The little girl nodded seriously, "Yes, dad. Uncle Qiu even bought me a cola just now."

"Okay, dad understands."

At this moment, Brother Peng happened to open the car door and sat down inside, so Qi Yun told him what the little girl had just said.

Brother Peng chuckled after hearing it, "Since our daughter has spoken, you should tell the police."

Qi Yun showed a wry smile, putting the daughter in the seat, "Nuannuan, sit tight, dad will be back soon."

"Okay, dad, go ahead." The little girl nodded obediently.

Just as Qi Yun opened the car door, he saw the police escorting Qiu Jiahao and a few others out.

He took two steps forward, found the leading officer, and explained the reason to him.

After hearing this, the officer frowned slightly and explained, "Even if you parents don’t pursue this further, we still need to take him back for a thorough investigation. Even if he meant no harm, he needs some educational guidance."

Qi Yun nodded in understanding, knowing that he had expressed his stance, but what the police needed to do wasn’t something he could interfere with.

He thanked them and was preparing to turn and get into the car.

At this time, Shen Wanting’s Volkswagen CC finally arrived and stopped by the roadside. She opened the door and ran over quickly.

"How is it? Is Nuannuan okay?"

Previously, when Qi Yun received Brother Peng’s message, he didn’t inform her, but directly called the police.

Seeing her anxious expression, though he felt some dissatisfaction, he resisted the urge to show it: "Nuannuan is fine, she’s in the car."

Shen Wanting breathed a sigh of relief and ran towards the car.

She opened the door and saw Nuannuan unharmed, her eyes instantly turning red as she hugged Nuannuan tightly: "Nuannuan, mom was scared to death. I’m glad you’re okay, you’re okay..."

Nuannuan leaned against Shen Wanting’s chest obediently and softly said, "Mom, I’m fine. Uncle Qiu even bought me some nice snacks."

Hearing the little girl say this, Shen Wanting felt a tightness in her heart, looked at Qi Yun, with a hint of guilt and unease in her eyes.

Qi Yun frowned slightly, said nothing, and just gestured outside the car, so Shen Wanting gently put Nuannuan down, then walked outside the car with Qi Yun.

The two stood by the car, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

Qi Yun broke the silence first, his tone a bit cold: "Since our daughter is fine, I don’t want to pursue this further. But I want to discuss Nuannuan’s custody with you."

"I made some money from business recently, paid off all debts, and I’d like my daughter to live with me in the future."

Shen Wanting was shocked upon hearing Qi Yun’s words.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn’t know where to start.

After a moment of silence, she spoke, "Qi Yun, I know this time I’m wrong for putting Nuannuan in danger. But Nuannuan is my daughter, I love her very much, I don’t want to lose custody."

Qi Yun looked at the smart woman in front of him and sighed.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, as the smoke dispersed, he slowly said, "Shen Wanting, I’m not trying to take away your rights as a mother, it’s just that this incident made me uneasy about leaving Nuannuan in your care."

"You should know that Nuannuan always wanted to live with me. Previously, I didn’t bring it up because my financial condition was poor, unable to provide a good environment for Nuannuan."

"So, I’m being upfront with you now. If you agree, the entire ownership of the house can be yours."

"Besides, I also heard that you and Qiu Jiahao registered for divorce? If you plan to date again, taking Nuannuan with you might be inconvenient, right?"
