The old couple was speechless.
However, their grandson’s words made sense. There was probably no other girl as cute as Little Jiu.
Han Siye stayed on the set for an entire day before he was willing to leave. Han Jiani was extremely disgusted at him. Why is this brat so useless? He shamelessly stuck to the little girl. Eventually, Han Jiani had severely chased him off.
Before leaving, Han Siye had pulled one of Su Jiu’s little ponytails again. The corner of his lips had curled into a nasty smile before he left in satisfaction.
Su Jiu was astonished.
Is this person obsessed with my hair?

On Sunday, Su Shengjing had been given a day off to spend time with the little girl. He brought her back to the apartment.
It was close to noon, and the golden sunlight of late autumn shone through the branches of the trees onto the road, bringing a hint of warmth.
When Su Jiu reached the ground floor of the apartment building, she had not expected to see the little villain. Rong Si was hunched over and standing beside the fountain with his sleeves rolled up high. He was trying hard to fish out his textbooks from the water.
The textbook was soaked with water. He fished it out and placed it beside him on the ground. It was dripping with water. His bag was also soaked. It was obvious that someone had thrown it into the fountain.
Given the little villain’s character, he wouldn’t have thrown it himself, right?
Su Jiu was surprised and quickly ran over to him. “Big Brother!”
Hearing her voice, the little villain started to shake. A guilty look flashed in his eyes as if he didn’t want her to see him like this.
However, Su Jiu had already run in front of him. It was at this moment she suddenly saw some bruises on the corners of the little villain’s mouth as if he had fought with someone.
Su Jiu immediately asked, “Big Brother, why are you injured?”
Rong Si looked away, not wanting to tell her. “It’s nothing.”
“Did you fight with someone?” More precisely, did you get beaten up?
Who hit my little villain? This is unforgivable!
Seeing that he was pursing his lips and not saying anything, Su Jiu thought that he had confirmed her doubt. She asked again, “Big Brother, you were beaten up, right? That person even threw your school bag into the water! How could they do that? That’s too evil!”
Su Shengjing walked to the edge of the fountain. With his stature, he easily scooped up all the textbooks from the water, shook the water off, and handed the textbooks to Rong Si. “Kid, tell us: who did this?”
Rong Si pursed his lips again as he thought of the other boys. Taking the textbook with lowered eyes, he said, “I don’t know them.”
“If you don’t know them, why are they targeting you?” Su Shengjing did not understand what was going on. Just as he said that, some other boys came over from the flowerbed. The oldest among them was about ten years old, while the youngest was only four or five years old.
The leading child was dressed in branded clothes. When he saw the wet textbook in Rong Si’s hand, he smugly smiled and said to the child behind him. “There, that’s him. He’s a beggar who used to pick up rubbish. He’s so dirty!”
The other children didn’t seem to believe him. They widened their eyes and asked, “Picking up rubbish? No way?”
“Why would I lie to you? He was really picking up rubbish. I went with my parents to a welfare shelter over there to donate money, and we saw him on the way. My dad said that if I didn’t study hard, I would pick up rubbish like him in the future.”
Rong Si’s ears were sharp. When he heard this, his face slowly turned pale. He clenched his teeth and tried his best to control his emotions.
