The old man was dressed in a gray suit. Although he was old and his hair was white, he was still full of energy and vigor. His face held a dignified expression that made people unconsciously respect him.
Su Jiu excitedly pulled Su Shengjing, who was standing beside her. “Daddy, it’s Grandpa!”
Su Shengjing frowned and looked up at the screen.
When he saw Su Guobang’s face, his expression turned grim.
The screen showed the reporter asking with a smile, “Old Master Su, I heard that you bought a piece of land a few days ago. You’re planning to demolish the shantytown there and transform it into a resort, right?”
Su Guobang nodded. “Yes. To be precise, it’s a resort dedicated to children’s entertainment. It’s a place for them to have fun.”
“Oh? This is the first time I’ve heard of this. What led you to such an idea?”
Hearing this question, Su Guobang chuckled. “I have a cute granddaughter. It was from her that I got the idea of building a resort that’s like an amusement park. I hope that she’ll like it.”
“Really? I’ve never heard you talk about your granddaughter before. May I know how old she is? It seems like you really dote on her.” The reporter’s eyes were filled with envy.
The Su family was one of the top three wealthiest families in the country. Being the granddaughter of Old Master Su, the head of the Su family, was a blissful thing. The Old Master would dote on the girl.
Sure enough, Su Guobang said, “My granddaughter is four years old. I’m her grandfather, so isn’t it a given that I love her?”
Quite a lot of people had crowded under the LED screen. A girl enviously remarked, “Old Master Su, do you still need granddaughters? How about me?”
“Come on! Old Master Su had been very handsome in his youth, so his granddaughter is definitely good-looking as well. With your looks, it’s obvious that you aren’t his granddaughter!”
“I’m so envious of his granddaughter! Her grandpa bought such a huge piece of land just to build a resort for her! I’m so jealous!”
“Me too!”
Su Shengjing scoffed and stroked Su Jiu’s head. “Darling, did you hear what he said? Do you want to go to that resort?”
Su Jiu obediently replied, “If you don’t want to go, Daddy, I won’t go.”
Her father was her closest kin, so she naturally had to prioritize his opinion.
Su Shengjing smiled. “You’re so obedient.”
After saying that, he carried his daughter again and hailed a taxi to the Song Residence, which was located in the wealthy district.
Su Shengjing knew that the Song family was very rich. Yet, he could not help but sigh at the evils of capitalism when he saw the three-story villa that looked as magnificent as a castle.
Meanwhile, Song Jiye held Song Xinyan’s hand and waited for Su Jiu and Su Shengjing at the entrance.
The young girl anxiously looked at the boulevard in front and tugged at her father’s hand. “Daddy, why isn’t Little Jiu here yet? Is she still coming?”
“Of course! She promised that she’d come. Let’s wait a little longer. Don’t be anxious.”
Just as Song Xinyan became so anxious that she was about to go look for Su Jiu, she finally spotted Su Jiu at the end of the boulevard.
Song Xinyan wanted to run over to welcome Su Jiu, but she was a little shy. She tightly held her father’s hand and waited there, excitedly watching Su Jiu and Su Shengjing approach them.
Su Shengjing had not expected the father-daughter pair to personally come out to pick up the two of them. He apologetically said, “I’m sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way. Sorry for making you wait.”
Song Jiye smiled and said, “It’s alright. We didn’t wait for long.”
“Little Jiu!” Song Xinyan broke free from her father’s grip and rushed forward. She happily looked at Su Jiu. “Little Jiu, you’re finally here! If you hadn’t come, I… I would’ve cried.”
