Chapter 62: Little Jiu Is Missing (4)

Su Jiu did not want to have any relation whatsoever with the female protagonist’s parents. If that happened, it would mean everything might progress according to the novel. No, no, no! I don’t want to! I don’t want to die so miserably!

Su Jiu became nervous. If they are really the female protagonist’s parents, I must leave a bad impression on them so that they would not want to see me again. That should be okay, right?

As she contemplated the problem, the car drove into a villa and reached a garden.

The garden was filled with expensive flowers and trees, and a few gardeners were busy with their work. When Su Jiu raised her head, she could see a three-story European-style villa as grand and magnificent as a castle. It left her speechless.

This family is extraordinarily wealthy.

The man parked the car in an empty area. Then, he helped Su Jiu unbuckle her seatbelt and led her out of the car. “Be more obedient when you see him later. Don’t talk nonsense, okay? If you say something wrong, the consequences will be very serious.”

Su Jiu was at a loss for words.

She became even more curious about who she was going to meet.

The man led her through the garden and walked toward a pavilion. He stopped in front of an old man, who was brewing tea, and said, “Old Master, I’ve brought her.”

The old man did not seem to have heard anything. He only focused on brewing the tea. When he was done, he picked up the cup and sipped it.

The man knew that the old man had heard him, but did not know why he was silent. The old man’s thoughts were always hard to understand. Not daring to say anything else, the man just waited there and did not let Su Jiu speak either.

The afternoon sun was very glaring. Moreover, with it being summer, the temperature became too high. Su Jiu’s skin was tender, so her fair face quickly flushed due to the sun. The sweat on her forehead almost dripped into her eyes, and she could only wipe it away with her hand.

This old man is acting like such a big shot!

Why is he putting on airs? How heartless is he to make a kid wait under the scorching sun?

When Su Jiu saw this old man, she realized he was not the female protagonist’s parent. Therefore, Su Jiu heaved a sigh of relief.

Finally, after finishing his third cup of tea, the old man turned around and looked at Su Jiu, whose forehead was covered with sweat and cheeks were completely beet red from the sun. “Are you Shengjing’s daughter?”

Tilting her head to the side, Su Jiu scrutinized him and timidly asked, “Who are you?”

The man who had brought her here immediately whispered, “This is your father’s father. So, he’s your grandfather.”

Su Jiu was stunned.

This old man is Su Shengjing’s father?

No wonder they look a little similar. However, he doesn’t look even one bit kind. His face has such a stern expression, and his aura is so fierce and imposing. One look and I can tell that he’s a formidable character.

Moreover, despite being my grandfather, he used such a method to bring me over. Wasn’t he afraid that a child like me would get frightened?

Her deductions made Su Jiu even more certain that the old man was not a kind person.

Eh, that’s not right. Oh my god! Is the Su family that rich?

My father is actually a young master from a wealthy family!

However, Su Jiu soon realized that her father did not seem to be staying in contact with the Su family, nor had he mentioned them to her before. He would rather stay in that lousy room than go home. Evidently, he shared a terrible relationship with his family.

Su Guobang looked at Su Jiu and asked, “Who’s your mother?”

Su Jiu shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Su Guobang narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of danger. “So, your background is unknown? Our Su family does not allow the existence of illegitimate children.”

Twirling the teacup in his hand, he continued in a cold voice, “As the family’s only heir, Shengjing must marry a rich heiress and give birth to the next heir of the family. If an illegitimate child gets in the way…”
