“Moreover, you’re a girl. It’s even more impossible for you to join the Su family.” Su Guobang eyed Su Jiu from the corner of his eyes. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle, devoid of any affection.
Su Jiu secretly gritted her teeth. Is he being sexist?
So what if I’m a girl? Without the existence of a woman, would you have even been born? You’re so old, yet still so unreasonable. Bastard!
The man who had brought Su Jiu steeled himself and asked, “Old Master, you mean…”
After pondering for two seconds, Su Guobang curtly instructed him, “Send her abroad and find her a good family.”
Su Jiu was rendered speechless.
No way! He’s making such important decisions by himself and controlling my life without even asking for my opinion! This damned old fart!
“Grandpa!” Su Jiu called out in a cute voice, pretending that she did not understand.
Su Guobang impatiently stared at her. “Who are you to call me grandpa?”
Su Jiu pointed at the man beside him and exclaimed, “This uncle said that you are my father’s father, so you’re my grandfather. I also have a grandfather! I don’t have to envy other children anymore. I’m so happy!”
As she spoke, she flashed the old man a bright smile. Two dimples appeared on her cheeks, making her look exceptionally adorable.
Su Guobang raised his eyebrows and gazed at the girl with more curiosity. “Why? Aren’t you afraid of me?”
Su Jiu still feigned ignorance. Blinking her big eyes, she innocently asked, “You are my grandfather, so why should I be afraid of you?”
Su Guobang silently mocked her. Indeed, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
So she’s not afraid of me? Fine, I’ll make her afraid of me. As her elder, I must establish my authority so that she won’t dare to oppose me.
Su Guobang beckoned her over. “Come here.”
Su Jiu obediently walked toward him. As the man beside Su Jiu saw her ignorant and fearless look, he instinctively wanted to hold her back. However, he did not dare to utter a single word. He could only watch her walk toward Su Guobang and sweetly say, “Grandpa.”
Su Guobang remained silent. At the next moment, his big hand landed on the little girl’s delicate neck, and he slowly tightened his grip.
The man could not bear to watch anymore and averted his gaze. He knew that with the temper he had, the Old Master would make this little girl suffer, even if he did not actually kill her. However, the man hoped that Su Guobang would show some mercy and not give the little girl too much suffering.
When Su Guobang’s hand landed on her neck, Su Jiu’s heart thumped.
No way, no way! Is this old man trying to strangle me to death?
The next second verified her thoughts. The large hand on her neck suddenly tightened, instantly making her feel suffocated. Due to the lack of fresh air, her face quickly turned red.
So uncomfortable!
Su Jiu’s eyes brimmed with tears. “Grandpa…”
The man saw her pitiful look. Like a kitten that had no strength to retaliate, Su Jiu could only be at the mercy of Su Guobang. He could not help but interrupt, “Old Master, no matter what, she is Young Master’s child. Please… Please show mercy. If Young Master finds out, it will be very troublesome.”
Su Guobang snorted. He did not let go. “I taught him not to mess around with women outside or have an illegitimate child. Since he refuses to listen, he cannot blame me for being merciless.”
Su Jiu struggled for a while, but it was to no avail. She could only show her vulnerability and pitifully whimper. “Grandpa, I’ll be obedient… Let go, let go of me, okay? I feel uncomfortable…”
The man averted his gaze. He really could not bear to look on.
Just when Su Jiu felt like this ruthless old man would strangle her to death, she heard an angry voice. “Let her go!”
