Chapter 236: Too Refined
The butler was speechless.
Old Master, you really are too refined.
If you want Little Miss to call you Grandpa, just say it. Why are you beating around the bush?
Despite these thoughts, the butler could not disobey Su Guobang’s words. After leaving the study room, he gave Su Shengjing a call. When Su Shengjing picked up the call, the butler thought for a while, then tactfully asked, “Young Master, has the matter on the Internet been settled?”
Su Shengjing frowned. Does the old man also know about it?
When Su Shengjing didn’t say anything, the butler continued, “If there’s anything you need in the future, just say the word. Don’t forget that you’re still the young master of the Su family. You can’t let people step all over you. Even Old Master can’t stand it anymore.”
The butler thought that he was being tactful and hoped that the Young Master understood.
Sure enough, Su Shengjing immediately understood what he meant.
So, the expert took the money and betrayed Qin Feng. On the surface, it seems like he has found his conscience, but in reality, the old man did something in secret.
Su Shengjing felt conflicted. He coldly smirked. “So? He wants me to thank him?”
“Not really…” Old Master just wanted you to know.
The butler felt that his mission had been completed, and it did not matter how the young master reacted. He and the old master would not see eye to eye. If their relationship could be fixed with a few words, this rift would not have lasted so many years.
“No?” Su Shengjing said in a slightly sarcastic tone, “Then why did you call?”
The butler choked and then sighed. “Young Master, Old Master didn’t want you to thank him. He wanted Little Miss to acknowledge him as her grandfather. He has always been paying attention to you and Little Miss. Deep down in his heart, Little Miss is still a child of the Su family. He won’t let anyone bully her.”
“Hah! Why don’t you ask him if he really thinks that way! Why didn’t he admit it back then?” As Su Shengjing recalled how his old man had strangled the little girl before, his blood boiled with rage. If he had arrived a little later, who knew what would have happened!
Also, since when is the bloodline of the Su family important to Su Guobang?
If it were so important, why did he do that back then?
Su Shengjing heavily closed his eyes. His dark eyelashes trembled, and his face turned a little pale.
Suddenly, a soft and cute voice rang beside him. “Daddy, are you okay?”
Su Shengjing came back to his senses and smiled as if nothing had happened. “Daddy is fine.”
The little girl’s big eyes were filled with worry as she whispered, “But, Daddy, you seemed very sad just now. Little Jiu was so worried.”
The smile on Su Shengjing’s lips widened as he patted her little head. “Daddy suddenly remembered that the bad uncle hurt you and I was unable to protect you properly. That’s why I felt uncomfortable.”
Su Jiu puffed her cheeks.
Hmph, I don’t believe it. Daddy is just patronizing me.
However, if her father didn’t say anything, Su Jiu probably wouldn’t be able to get anything out of him even if she asked. She could only watch as he hung up the phone and continued to follow the news on Weibo.

In his apartment suite, Qin Feng was about to go crazy. He hurriedly called his manager and yelled, “What’s going on? Didn’t you say the expert would give a false result?!”
The manager angrily said, “I didn’t expect him to suddenly go back on his word! It has already happened. There’s no point in discussing why. Qin Feng, the current situation is very unfavorable for you. Either you continue to refuse to admit that the recording is yours, or you admit your mistake and apologize to Su Shengjing.”
Qin Feng almost stamped his feet in anger. “You want me to apologize to Su Shengjing? You can’t be serious!”
