What the hell is this old man doing?
Su Shengjing did not believe that Su Guobang liked Little Jiu. After all, he was an old man who valued boys over girls. Previously, he had even declared that he would not acknowledge Little Jiu’s identity. The old man did not even like him, his son!
Is the old man planning to use Little Jiu to force me to return to the Su family?
It’s possible.
How despicable!
Su Shengjing pursed his lips. He felt like he was about to explode. How was he supposed to get in if the guards did not open the gate for him?
Sheng Tianci was also anxious. He scratched the back of his head and said, “Shengjing, your old man’s temper is really weird. He always comes up with strange ideas. What if he doesn’t return Little Jiu to you?”
Would she cry?
Just thinking about it made Su Shengjing’s heart ache.
Su Shengjing gritted his teeth and stared at the door, thinking of a solution in silence.

Su Guobang looked at Su Jiu as she fed the fish. He acted as if Su Shengjing wasn’t outside the gate.
As Su Jiu looked at the pond full of koi fish, she yearned for more. Suddenly, she heard two barks.
Eh? Where’s the dog?
Su Jiu subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white Samoyed standing opposite the pond. The dog was looking at her and barked at her twice.
It lolled its tongue in a docile manner as if it wanted to come over but was afraid.
Su Jiu’s eyes lit up. This Samoyed is so furry and cute!
She had always liked cats and dogs. In her past life, she had always thought that after graduating from university and getting a job, she would rent a small house, raise a cat and a dog, and live a wonderful life with them. Who would have thought that she would actually turn into a book character?
When Su Guobang, who was at the back, saw the dog, he seemed to have thought of something. He narrowed his eyes, and his expression darkened.
He coldly asked the butler, “Who let the dog out?”
The butler didn’t expect the dog to run out either. He broke out in cold sweat and respectfully said, “Old Master, the gardener probably didn’t take good care of it and let it run out. I’ll immediately take it away.”
Su Guobang paused for a few seconds, then said in a deep voice, “Just send it away.”
The butler was stunned. “Send it away? Old Master, it, it’s—”
Su Guobang raised his voice and sternly said, “I said, send it away!”
Su Jiu realized that this dog was something more and immediately became curious.
She pretended to not have heard the conversation between Su Guobang and the butler. Pointing at the big dog in surprise, she shouted, “A dog!”
Then, she ran toward the dog.
When the Samoyed saw Su Jiu running over, it got excited. It kicked its front legs and jumped a few times.
“Little Miss!” The butler followed Su Jiu in shock and pulled her back. “Little Miss, that dog is very fierce. Don’t go over there. It will bite you.”
As he spoke, he glared at the Samoyed. When the dog met his gaze, it stopped and even retreated a few steps. However, it looked at Su Jiu as though it wanted to get closer to her.
The little girl’s face fell. She squirmed in the butler’s arms and whimpered. “Boohoo… I want the dog.”
Seeing that she was about to cry, the butler was at his wits’ end. He turned to look at Su Guobang.
Su Guobang’s face became gloomy as his gaze wandered between the little girl and the dog. Seeing the little girl pouting with reddened eyes, he got mixed feelings. He waved his hand and said, “Forget it. Bring over the dog to play with Little Jiu.”
