Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 387: Aren’t You Leaving Yet?

Luo Zilin scoffed, "These days, any random cat or dog calls themselves someone’s uncle. They should take a look at what they are."

"You—" Wan Gu’s eyes widened, "Who do you think you are, daring to run wild on my turf!"

"Your turf?" Shen Qinglan sneered.

Wan Gu, consumed by anger, forgot all thoughts of making friends, "I’ve been living here for months; don’t you think it’s my turf?"

"I’ve already bought this place," Shen Qinglan said coldly. "I’ve hired Ah Xiang as my guard, and her condition was to keep Ah Jiu and her mother here. As for you... go back to where you came from."

"Do you think I will..."

Before Wan Gu could finish his sentence, his neck was harshly grabbed.

"Uh..."

Due to difficulty breathing, his eyes bulged as if about to pop out.

"Mind your language," Duan Yunfei said coldly, "Say ’old man’ one more time, and I’ll show you who the real old man is."

Ah Jiu screamed in fright and immediately shut her eyes.

Lan Ruo softly comforted her, "Don’t be afraid, little sister, we’re here; no one will bully you!"

Duan Yunfei tossed the person aside and said coldly, "Aren’t you leaving yet?"

Wan Gu rolled on the ground, clutching his neck, and took several deep breaths, casting a glance around at the people present before skulking away.

"Who is he to you?" Lan Ruo asked Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing Wan Gu leave, "He’s my father!"

"Your father?" Lan Ruo frowned, "Then why are you so afraid of him?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Jiu remained silent and lifted her sleeve, revealing fair skin covered in bruises.

"This..." Lan Ruo was shocked, "He hit you?"

"Yes!" Ah Jiu nodded with tears in her eyes, "Sometimes when my sister’s not around, he uses sticks to hit me!"

"That’s outrageous!" Lan Ruo said angrily, "Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs; this person is worse than a beast."

Ah Jiu wiped her tears and cried, "My mother’s illness wasn’t ever so severe; he’s taken her medicine money to gamble, leaving her with no money for medicine, and that’s why she’s sick like this, sob sob..."

Lan Ruo gritted her teeth upon hearing this, "Next time I see him, I’ll beat him to death!"

"Just let him go like that?" Song Ting raised an eyebrow, "Aren’t you afraid he’ll come back?"

Shen Qinglan said, "Let’s visit the broker later and buy more guards."

The people she protects won’t be easily bullied by others.

"That’s a good idea." Duan Yunfei said, "Your courtyard also needs more people for cleaning; otherwise, Auntie and the others might not manage."

"Do you know where the broker is?" Shen Qinglan asked.

Duan Yunfei nodded, "I know."

Ah Jiu suddenly knelt down and said, "Thank you, sister, for keeping us!"

Shen Qinglan frowned and quickly helped her up, "No kneeling in the future."

Ah Jiu said, "Sister said we are servants from now on, you are the master, and we must listen to you in everything!"

"I’m surnamed Shen; you can call me Sister Shen," Shen Qinglan said, "Also, you are not my servant, nor is your sister, at most you’re my companions."

"What’s a companion?" Ah Jiu asked in confusion.

Shen Qinglan smiled faintly and explained, "It’s someone who walks with me, my partner."

Ah Jiu shook her head, "Ah Jiu doesn’t understand!"

Shen Qinglan said, "It’s okay if you don’t understand; just remember, you’re not my servants."
