Chapter 352: Heartache for the Daughter
Han Xiao mumbled, “I didn’t expect this… Did the production team come up with it?”
Among the few fathers, Su Shengjing’s expression was the most serious. He pursed his lips and directly stuffed the mission card back into the staff member’s hands. “I won’t do this mission.”
The staff member was stunned. Is he giving up?
The guest contestant had actually given up on the mission. What should we do? Could we still film this episode properly?
Su Jiu stood beside Su Shengjing and did not see what was written on the mission card. Seeing that his reaction was off, she curiously asked, “Daddy, what mission is it today? Why are you giving up?”
Su Shengjing reached out and picked her up. He smiled as if nothing had happened. “It’s nothing. The mission was just exchanging father and child again. I’ve already done it last time, so I don’t want to do it again.”
Is that so?
Su Jiu did not believe it. The production team had already used the same trick, so how could it happen again? Usually, it would not be like this. Is Daddy lying to me?
She got even more curious about the mission. Stretching her hand toward the staff member, she said, “Big Brother, can you show me the mission card?”
Before she could finish her sentence, Su Shengjing carried her into the house. “Baby, didn’t you win us money yesterday? Daddy will bring you to town to buy good food, okay?”
The little girl suspiciously looked at Su Shengjing. Then, she puffed up her cheeks and said, “Daddy’s lying. That’s not the mission. Why didn’t you want to do the mission?”
Su Shengjing was speechless.
At this moment, his heart felt incredibly heavy, and he truly did not want to tell her the truth. However, he knew that he should not hide the truth from the little girl. After pausing for a few seconds, he finally said, “Actually, today’s task is…”
Su Jiu’s ears pricked up.
“To visit children at a nearby orphanage.”
An orphanage?
Su Jiu immediately understood why her father had abandoned the mission. He felt that she would not want to go there.
Su Jiu had grown up in an orphanage ever since she was born. Is Daddy worried that I would be sad?
After all, a place like an orphanage was probably a place that abandoned children who had left it would never want to return. Staying there would remind them every day that they were abandoned children without parents.
The audience members in front of the screen naturally saw the mission card. The fans immediately scolded the production team for being inhumane. Don’t they know that Little Jiu came from the orphanage?
It wasn’t easy for Su Jiu to reunite with her father and live a life where she was loved and cared for. Why would they want her to return to that place and bring back bad memories?
The audacity of the program team!
Even if they want to do something good, they have to consider the feelings of the guests, okay? Could it be that just because Little Jiu is obedient, they can ignore her feelings?
The fans were furious. They even felt sorry for their daughter.
However, the original intention of the production team was to make the last episode more unusual and meaningful. That was why they had come up with such a mission. They did not expect that it would affect Su Jiu.
The main reason was that the little girl was lively and cute. She had such a good relationship with her father that they really couldn’t tell that she came from the orphanage! However, the production team had already called the orphanage about it, so it wasn’t easy to change the mission. They could only brace themselves and continue filming.
If Su Shengjing and Little Jiu insisted on giving up on this mission, they would not force them. As a father who doted on his daughter, it was understandable for Su Shengjing to take care of Su Jiu.
Su Jiu had mixed feelings. After thinking for a few seconds, she said, “Daddy, I want to go there.”
