Sheng Tianci helplessly watched as the butler carried the little girl inside the house. Su Jiu lay on the butler’s shoulder and helplessly looked at him. Sheng Tianci instantly became furious.
He wanted to rush out of the car and bring the child back, but it was too late. The three-meter-tall metal door got locked in front of him. He could only shout, “Old Master, don’t hurt Little Jiu!”
Su Guobang became furious when he heard that. He turned around and snapped at Sheng Tianci. “Little Jiu is my granddaughter. Why would I hurt her? Now that her father is not around, isn’t it only right for her grandfather to take care of her ?”
Sheng Tianci was speechless.
Did this old man forget what he did to Little Jiu?
He is so infuriating.
After they disappeared from his sight, Sheng Tianci immediately called Su Shengjing.

The butler carried the little girl into the house and coaxed her as they walked. “Little Miss, don’t be afraid. Your grandfather won’t do anything to you. He will definitely dote on you.”
The little girl opened her clear, flawless big eyes and looked at the elderly man beside her. She said with an aggrieved voice, “Little Jiu is very brave. She’s not afraid!”
Ah, Little Miss is so adorable.
The butler ruefully sighed and set her down when they reached the living room. She was a tiny pink thing on the carpet, looking around curiously and uneasily.
This was the first time she had entered the Su Residence. This is what it means to be in a real wealthy family!
Initially, Su Jiu had thought that the female lead, Song Xinyan, had a luxurious life and a luxurious home. Now that she had come to the Su Residence, she realized that there was always a mountain taller than the other. The Su Residence was like a palace. Every painting hanging on its walls was priceless.
The butler bent down and gestured to her to look at Su Guobang. He gently smiled and said, “Little Miss, let me formally introduce you two. This is your grandfather. You’ve already seen him a few times. Why don’t you call him ‘Grandpa’?”
Su Guobang expectantly looked at her. However, the little girl blinked and hid behind the butler as if the old man frightened her! Her eyes turned red, and she pouted as if she was about to cry.
“Uncle, I’m scared…” She grabbed the butler’s pants with her hand as her childish voice got choked with sobs.
The butler was speechless.
This is awkward.
When S Guobang saw that the little girl seemed closer to the butler than her own blood relative, he became unhappy. However, he knew that he had indeed frightened her the last time, so he forced a smile that he thought was quite kind and waved at her. “Don’t be afraid. I promised your Uncle Sheng that I won’t hurt you. Come on, come to me.”
The little girl did not go over to him. Instead, she pitifully looked up at the butler.
The butler’s heart ached as he coaxed her. “It’s alright. Little Miss, go over.”
The little girl hesitated for a while before mustering her courage to come out from behind him. She took a few steps toward Su Guobang.
However, her eyes soon became red and filled with tears. She tightly pursed her lips as if she were really afraid of Su Guobang. This made the old man even more upset.
He suddenly regretted it. I shouldn’t have been so impulsive back then. Why had I scared her?
I should’ve tried to understand the situation first. Although this little girl is an illegitimate child, she is very likable.
Su Guobang believed that an illegitimate daughter should not be exposed to the public; she should not have been born in the first place. However, now, the entire country knew about Su Jiu’s existence. What else could he do?
He could not possibly send her abroad and ask a good family to adopt her. If that happened, not only would Su Shengjing fight with him, but countless people who liked the little girl would also be in an uproar.
Hence, he could only accept her existence.
Su Jiu saw the flash of regret in the old man’s eyes and felt a sudden vindication. Hmph, he deserves it!
