Su Shengjing took out his phone and saw the caller ID. His expression became complicated, and he did not want to pick up the call. However, after hesitating for two seconds, he still picked it up.
Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, so he had to give the old man some face.
He said to the person on the other end in a cool tone, “What do you want?”
Su Guobang was furious when he heard that. “What kind of attitude is that?”
Su Shengjing sneered. “What attitude? Aren’t you used to it?”
“You…” Su Guobang did not want to argue with Su Shengjing over the Lunar New Year, so he changed the topic and said, “Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Aren’t you going to let the kid come over to receive red packets?”
Su Shengjing knew that the old man wanted to see Little Jiu, but he was unwilling. He coldly said, “She has enough red packets. She doesn’t need yours.”
The moment Su Jiu heard that, she knew who was on the phone. She also knew that if she went to the Su family, the old man would definitely give her a big red packet. However, if her father was unwilling to go, she did not want it.
Su Guobang was even more furious. Su Shengjing, this bastard, never even thought of bringing his child back to the Su family. He didn’t intend to have a reunion dinner at all. Su Guobang could only watch the show that Little Jiu had recorded on television and online.
Also, a few days ago, when Su Shengjing had gone overseas to film, he had entrusted the child to Sheng Tianci and asked him to take care of the child.
In short, Su Shengjing would rather let outsiders take care of the child than let her grandfather see her. The child was still not close to him and had yet to call him “Grandpa.”
No, I think she called me that before.
Su Guobang suddenly remembered that the first time he had met that little girl, she had called him grandpa. But at that time, he had not treated her well and scared her, so she never called him that again.
Su Guobang was extremely regretful. If he had known that, he would’ve completely accepted this little girl and not treated her like that.
Now that it was the new year, all the old folks in the family had their grandchildren for company. However, Su Guobang could only live alone, without even a child to say “Happy New Year, Grandpa” to him. Moreover, the butler and all the servants had gone home. The huge Su Residence seemed especially lonely.
The more Su Guobang thought about it, the more stifled he felt. He was also looking forward to Su Shengjing bringing the child back. However, with his personality, it was impossible for him to back down and civilly discuss this with Su Shengjing. His tone was still serious. “What do you mean she doesn’t need it? It’s a tradition for elders to give a child red packets for New Year! Things that have been passed down for thousands of years must be followed! Cut the crap and quickly bring her over!”
“No. Unless you properly apologize to Little Jiu, I won’t let her see you.” After saying that, Su Shengjing mercilessly hung up the phone.
Hah, so what if the old man changed his mind? I’ll never forget how the old man had treated my little girl.
Su Guobang had claimed that Su Jiu was an illegitimate daughter, and he had even strangled her by the neck, claiming that he wanted to send her abroad to raise her. This had scared Su Jiu. The old man had even said that he would never allow her to enter the Su Residence no matter what.
Now, he was actually going back on his words, but did not have the attitude he should have. What right does he have to do as he said?
Su Jiu wouldn’t like it either.
As Su Shengjing thought about it, he lowered his head and asked Su Jiu, “Baby, do you want to see that old man?”
Su Jiu blinked and said, “Is it that very fierce grandpa?”
“Yes.”
“If Daddy doesn’t want it, then I don’t want it too!” Su Jiu said seriously.
Su Shengjing suddenly laughed. His big hand stroked her hair again. “Good girl! He was so fierce before. We can’t forgive him easily. Baby, we don’t need to forgive those who bullied us.”
