After all, her grandfather was getting on in years. Su Jiu wondered how many more days she could spend with him.
At this thought, she suddenly felt a little ache in her heart. Reaching out to hug Su Guobang, she whispered, “Grandpa, believe me. I’ll visit you as long as I’m free, even if Daddy objects. Also, you can come and find me. I guarantee that no one will dare to stop you!”
Hearing his granddaughter’s soft voice, Su Guobang felt much better. He patted her hand and said, “You said it yourself. Remember to visit me more often. If your father isn’t at home, tell me. I can visit you too.”
“Okay!” Su Jiu obediently agreed before bidding farewell to Su Guobang and returning with Su Shengjing.
On the way back, Su Shengjing did not speak as he drove. From the rearview mirror, Su Jiu could tell that he was not in a good mood. She quickly probed, “Daddy, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”
Su Shengjing did not turn around. He unhappily said, “I’m a little unhappy. Who asked you to look for that brat and that old man without my permission?”
“Daddy, I was looking for Big Brother and Grandpa for a reason!” Su Jiu told Su Shengjing everything that had happened last night.
After hearing that, Su Shengjing sneered. “How despicable and shameless! That’s definitely that old man’s style.”
“Grandpa already promised he wouldn’t do that again.”
“You believe him? It’s best not to expect too much from someone like him.”
“Daddy, I know Grandpa has done some things out of line over the years. What he did this time really made me uncomfortable, but I’ve already talked to him. He promised me that it wouldn’t happen again.”
“Heh, alright. It’s just that his methods are disgusting.” Su Shengjing thought about it again. Although the old man’s methods were a little despicable, he had indeed tested that kid.
“How did that kid behave last night? He didn’t do anything to let you down, did he?”
Su Jiu immediately replied, “No, no. Even if Big Brother was drugged, that girl didn’t succeed!”
Hearing her cheerful tone, Su Shengjing sneered. “At least that kid knows his place. If he dares to do anything to let you down, I’ll make him suffer!”
Su Jiu snorted with laughter.
The reaction puzzled Su Shengjing. “What are you laughing at? You don’t think I will?!”
Su Jiu quickly stopped laughing and seriously said, “Daddy, do you know that you’re saying exactly what Grandpa said?”
“…” Su Shengjing choked. “So what? The old man is the old man, and I’m me. I have nothing to do with him.”
Su Jiu sighed to herself. It seemed that her father and grandfather’s conflict would remain unresolved for another ten years. But she would not force the issue. It was her father’s choice, and she did not want to interfere.
“How is that kid now?” Su Shengjing suddenly asked, showing some concern for Rong Si.
“He was in a bad mood after Grandpa tested him like that.”
Su Shengjing pursed his lips and thought for a moment. “On account of that kid’s good performance, I can allow you to invite him over for dinner tonight.”
“Really?!” Su Jiu’s eyes lit up. “Then I’ll call him over!”
“Tsk! Call him if you have to. Before I go back on my word.”
Looking at Su Shengjing’s unyielding expression, Su Jiu suppressed her laughter. “Alright, I’ll call him now!”
