Chapter 277: Wealthy and Willful!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The old man’s commanding tone was not questioning but informing.
Su Jiu was speechless.
He’s indeed a wealthy and wilful man.
It was safe to have bodyguards protecting Su Jiu. However, if a group of people followed her wherever she went, she would feel like she was being watched.
Hence, she shook her head and said with a sullen expression, “No, I don’t want so many people. Dad, I’m afraid…”
Su Guobang was speechless.
Did I do something wrong again to make the little girl feel disgusted?

He suddenly felt that he had failed as a grandfather. Perhaps, he was a bad grandfather at all, just like how he was a bad father who was not in contact with his son for so many years.
Su Shengjing consoled the little girl. “Don’t be afraid, Daddy is here.”
He looked up at Su Guobang. “I’ll hire my own bodyguard. I don’t need yours.”
Su Guobang widened his eyes. “You’ll hire your own? Are you serious? I brought the most professional bodyguards who protect big names and celebrities and even the president!”
Wow, are they really that good?
Su Jiu was a little surprised.
The old man must’ve put in a lot of effort to hire these people.
“Anyway, I only have one thing to say. If Little Jiu is going to live with you, you have to ensure her safety. If such a thing happens again, can you bear the consequences?
“Just accept my help for now. Take these bodyguards… No, it’s none of your business if I hire bodyguards for my granddaughter. Why should I ask for your opinion?”

The old man cursed in hindsight.
“Sure. How can I reject professional bodyguards who come knocking on my door?” Su Shengjing’s lips twitched. “It’s just that Little Jiu said that she doesn’t want so many people.”
“What’s wrong with having so many? The more people there are, the more power they have to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Don’t worry! They will protect you from only the shadows and won’t disturb your lives. You can practically ignore their existence.”
Su Shengjing naturally knew about this, but he still sought the little girl’s opinion, “Baby, how many people do you want to protect you?”
Su Jiu looked outside and saw six bodyguards.
She counted with her fingers and said in a childish voice, “Little Jiu wants two, so Daddy gets two, and Grandpa gets two too. That way, we will all have someone to protect us!”
The little girl seemed to think that this was a good idea. Her eyes were bright, and it looked like she wanted to be praised.
Su Guobang was stunned.
Did she… just call me grandpa?
Did I hear wrongly?
Su Guobang suddenly became excited and immediately said, “Okay! Whatever Little Jiu says!”
Su Shengjing did not notice that the little girl had addressed Su Guobang as “grandpa.” He was too busy thinking about how considerate his daughter was to be concerned about his safety.
Did I save Earth in my previous life?

Rong Si watched as Su Shengjing carried Su Jiu out of the car and walked toward the parking lot. When he could no longer see her, he drew back from the balcony and returned to the house.
Even though they hadn’t talked or met up, he was satisfied just by looking at Little Jiu from afar.
He coughed again.
Last night, he had gotten a fever again. However, he hadn’t woken up his mother; instead, he had found some fever medicine on his own. However, he started coughing in the second half of the night. Today, his symptoms had worsened, and he was coughing so much that he could not breathe.
Song Wanqiu quickly sensed that something was wrong with her son’s illness. She suspected that it wasn’t as simple as an ordinary cold. She called and informed his form teacher about this and brought the kid to the hospital.
When they arrived outside the emergency room, Rong Si continued to cough. The adults around him looked at him in concern and ushered their children away from him.
Song Wanqiu patted his back with an aching heart and helped him calm down.
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded. “Brother, do you want some water?”
