Chapter 298: Be A Decent Human Being!
If he had known that this would happen, would he have done the same?
Just be a decent human being, Grandpa!
Su Guobang was at a loss for what to do. He had never tried to coax a child before, let alone a little girl like Su Jiu.
He glanced at the butler behind her. The butler gestured to him to say something nice or hug her.
Su Guobang felt conflicted for a few seconds. Under the butler’s expectant gaze, he reached out to the little girl and tentatively ruffled her hair. “Don’t be afraid. Grandpa won’t hurt you.”
The butler was so touched that joy took over his face. He really wanted to congratulate the Old Master for taking this first step!
“Really?” The little girl timidly looked at Su Guobang.
Su Guobang wanted to make an angry noise. If I wanted to hurt you, would you still be standing in front of me?
With great effort, he forced a “loving” smile. “Of course. I’m not lying to you.”
The little girl looked at him for a while. Only after she seemed to have confirmed that he wouldn’t do anything to her did she stop crying. She then turned around and ran to the sofa, obediently sitting down. In her baby voice, she said, “Then, Little Jiu will sit here. I’ll wait for Daddy to come and fetch me. Don’t hurt me, okay?”
The butler could not stand her cuteness. Ah, Little Miss is too obedient!
Su Guobang was also struck by Su Jiu’s cuteness. When he thought of how mischievous Su Shengjing had been in his childhood, he wanted to beat him up. How did such a bastard raise such an obedient daughter?
Did he really raise her?
Su Guobang gave the butler a look. The butler immediately understood and walked toward Su Jiu. He smiled and asked, “Little Miss, are you hungry or thirsty? If you want to eat or drink anything, just let me know.”
The little girl timidly looked at Su Guobang and whispered, “Uncle, I’m hungry. Can I really eat something?”
“Of course!” The butler was full of love. “You can eat whatever you want here. Just tell me! Your grandfather won’t do anything.”
The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while. She counted on her fingers and said, “I want to eat strawberry ice cream, fried chicken, strawberry pie, fries, chicken wings, chicken drumsticks, cotton candy, chocolate, milk tea… so many, so many things!”
The butler’s mouth twitched. “Little Miss, can you eat so much? Aren’t you afraid you’ll be full?”
As soon as he said that, Su Guobang shot him a stern look. “Just get her whatever she wants to eat. What are you talking about?”
The butler quickly agreed and asked the little girl to wait while he went to prepare her food.
After the butler left, only Su Jiu and Su Guobang were left in the living room. There were also a few maids who were cleaning the house, but they did not even dare to breathe aloud. They only threw secret glances at the little girl sitting on the sofa
Boohoo, Little Miss is so cute. I really want to team up with the others to knock out Old Master and steal the little girl!
Su Guobang felt that he had to get closer to the little girl while the butler was not around.
Hence, he pretended that nothing had happened and sent away all the maids. Then, he went upstairs and took a doll that he had gotten the butler to buy a few days ago. After returning to the living room, he handed the doll to the little girl, who was still sitting on the sofa. “Little Jiu, take a look at this. Do you like it?”
Su Jiu looked at the doll that was half her height and had curly hair. The doll was wearing a dress and leather shoes. Her eyes would blink, and she’d even call her “Mommy.” Su Jiu was a little embarrassed and also a little shocked.
If I saw this thing in the middle of the night, I would probably die of fright on the spot!
