Qiu Tong followed her father’s finger and shook her head.
“Dad, that is Song Yan, not Jin Yang.”
Upon hearing Song Yan’s name, Qiu Rong suddenly grabbed onto Qiutong’s arms and squeezed.
“Tongtong, be it Jin Yang or Song Yan, he is Jin Tao’s son!”
“I want you to remember that anyone related to Jin Tao, you must stay far away from them. You absolutely must not have anything to do with them, understand?!”
“Jin Tao is not a good person. You must not get involved with him!”
Song Yan was Jin Tao’s son?
Qiu Tong didn’t know who Jin Tao was. But she could see her father’s fear from his expression and actions. There must have been some long history between Jin Tao and her father!
She looked at Qiu Rong’s unusual behavior and suddenly asked.
“Dad, is your arrest related to Jin Tao?”
Qiu Rong shook his head almost reflexively and said quickly, “No!”
“Tongtong, everything that happened to me has nothing to do with others. It’s all my fault.”
Qiu Tong took in his guilty look, which further confirmed her suspicions. Her heart sank.
She did not want there to be a lifelong grudge between her and Song Yan.
Qiu Tong did not know why she had such thoughts. Her heart was in a mess.
“Dad, don’t worry. I still have three children with me. I don’t have time to think about all these messy things.”
“I just want you to come out quickly so that our family can reunite.”
“Before I came, the children were all clamoring to see you. If not for the sudden epidemic in the prison this time, they would have definitely come with me.”
When Qiu Rong heard his daughter talking about his three grandchildren, the expression on his face gradually softened. His tense body also slowly relaxed, and he nodded.
“Tongtong, as long as you guys are fine, I don’t mind.
“Dad, don’t say that. Our good days will come later.”
Qiu Tong held his hand tightly and said softly, “Take care of yourself then. I’ll leave first. After some time has passed, I’ll bring the children over to see you.”
“Alright, let’s go.”
Qiu Rong watched as his daughter walked towards Song Yan. His eyes narrowed and he had a bad premonition.
Were these two really not involved?
The warden sent Jin Yang and Qiu Tong out of the door. Jin Yang went to prepare the car. Qiu Tong turned to the warden and finally asked what she had been wanting to ask.
“Warden, my father went to prison because of fraud. I remember that as long as you offer a certain amount of compensation, you can reduce a jail sentence.”
“My father isn’t young anymore, and he just contracted an infectious disease. Although he’s recovered, I’m still worried about his health.”
“So, if possible, I would like to offer compensation in exchange for a lighter sentence for my father.”
The warden nodded and said, “According to the rules, you can indeed reduce a jail sentence.”
“But the amount of money your father swindled is very large. Going by that, you will have to compensate $800,000 to reduce his sentence by a year.”
“Alright, I understand. Please take care of my father during this period of time.”
Qiu Tong had a plan. She would do this for herself, for this second chance at life in this body. It would also be for Qiu Rong, who looked exactly like her father in her previous life. She wanted Qiu Rong to be released as soon as possible.
It could be considered fulfilling a filial duty on behalf of the former owner of her body.
Qiu Tong made up her mind. She was going to take on more jobs and earn more money so that her family could be reunited.
“Miss Qiu, you’ve done us such a big favor this time. Of course, I’ll take good care of your father. Don’t worry about that.”
The warden said hurriedly. Whether it was because of Qiu Tong’s ability or her relationship with Jin Yang, he would definitely help her.
Jin Yang drove the car over then. Qiu Tong nodded at the warden and turned around to leave.
“This is my place. Thank you for sending me back.”
When Qiu Tong saw the familiar gate, she unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to leave.
Along the way, Jin Yang tried to make small talk with Qiu Tong, but whatever words he came up with died before they reached his lips. Now that Qiu Tong was alighting from his car, he suddenly realized that they were going to separate again.
He pursed his lips. “You’ve helped me solve such a big problem this time.. How about I treat you to a meal to thank you?”
