Chapter 56: Serves You Right To Not Have A Wife!
“Daddy, you promised me that you’ll lose that fat. If it’s gone, you’ll look even more dashing than that handsome Uncle!”
Su Shengjing smiled. “Alright, Daddy will exercise tonight and lose the fat.”
After getting out of the car, Su Jiu did not forget to say goodbye to the chauffeur, who had a benevolent smile on his face. She held Su Shengjing’s hand and hopped out of the car.
When she was about to reach the staircase, Madam Zhang came out of nowhere. It was obvious that she was going to play mahjong again.
Madam Zhang walked very briskly. Just when she was about to bump into Su Jiu, Su Shengjing quickly held back Su Jiu. Madam Zhang glared at her. “You little brat! Are you blind when you walk? Don’t you know how to move aside if someone’s walking toward you?”
Su Shengjing was enraged. “Who the hell are you scolding?!”
“Who else could it be other than the two of you? Who do you think you are? Are you even worthy enough to be angry at me?” Madam Zhang arrogantly yelled, “You good-for-nothing rascal! You don’t even have a proper job, yet you have an illegitimate bastard. You should reflect on yourself!”
“I dare you to say that again! Who are you calling a bastard?!” Su Shengjing’s eyes became bloodshot as flames of fury raged in his eyes. His expression was so sinister that Madam Zhang got scared.
“Are you crazy? Serves you right for not having a wife!” Madam Zhang spat before leaving.
Su Jiu did not want Su Shengjing to get enraged because of a petty person like Madam Zheng, so she took the opportunity to praise him. “Daddy, you were so cool just now! I really like you!”
Her praises were effective. Su Shengjing’s anger instantly dissipated, and a sense of pride surged inside him.
So this is how it feels to act like a hero in front of my daughter! How good!

At night, after Su Jiu fell asleep, Su Shengjing stood in front of the mirror, applied some ointment, and put on some clothes to cover his sunburn. If the little girl saw it, she would ask about it again.
Su Shengjing bitterly chuckled. He used to be the most popular celebrity, but now he was reduced to such a pathetic state.
However, it was all his fault for being arrogant and thinking too highly of himself. In the end, he had fallen into someone else’s trap!
He entered the room. Su Jiu had already fallen asleep on the bed. She slept very obediently, not even moving or kicking the blanket away. This saved Su Shengjing a lot of trouble.
“Daddy…” Su Jiu mumbled in her dream.
She dreamed that she had returned to the orphanage. The wind was cold and harsh, and it was dark all around her. The crows eerily cawed on the dead trees as she huddled in a corner with her body shivering uncontrollably. Just like the girl selling matchsticks in the fable, she yearned for a warm place.
There, she would not have to suffer from hunger or cold. Her parents would be with her, doting on her as if she were their greatest treasure, instead of abandoning her at the orphanage…
Hearing her mumbles, Su Shengjing immediately got onto the bed. When he saw that the little girl was restless in her sleep and that tears glistened at the corner of her eyes, his heart suddenly ached.
Is she having a nightmare?
“Daddy, Mommy…”
“Don’t be afraid. Daddy’s here.” Su Shengjing whispered as he patted her back to comfort her.
As if she could feel his touch, Su Jiu calmed down and slowly fell asleep.
Gazing at her cute sleeping face, Su Shengjing could not sleep for a long while.
This little girl must really long for a complete family. But, who is her mother?
The more Su Shengjing thought about it, the more he could not fall asleep. Hence, he whipped out his phone. Remembering that he had not checked Weibo for a few days, he logged in. The moment he did, he realized that his Weibo had become the subject of the top headlines again.
