Chapter 58: Capturing Daddy’s Heart

“I’m useless. I implicated her.”

“Don’t say that. It’s a good thing if you’re willing to get back on your feet. You don’t know how sad I felt when I saw you being so miserable every day. But you’re doing fine now. I really hope that you can return to your mighty and vigorous self. That’s how a good buddy should look like. You won’t embarrass me then!”

Su Shengjing scoffed. “I’m not doing this for you.”

“Fine, fine, fine. I know you’re doing this for Little Jiu. Indeed, the saying ‘Daughters are a father’s lovers in his past life’ is right. The heavens sent her to save you.”

Su Shengjing grinned.

Sheng Tianci felt that Su Shengjing’s smile was filled with the radiance of a proud father. He could not help but silently exclaim, Children are truly the best medicine for parents. They are born to help them.

When Su Jiu heard this, she felt moved.

Could it be that Daddy asked Uncle Sheng to teach the haters a lesson because they scolded me?

It seemed that she had successfully captured her father’s heart!

She decided to continue winning her father’s favor. Hence, she ran out of the room and hugged Su Shengjing’s leg. “Daddy, it’s okay if they scold me. They just can’t scold you!”

Sheng Tianci was speechless.

What the heck? What kind of a little angel is she!

Su Jiu’s words were indeed effective. Feeling extremely touched, Su Shengjing carried her and rebuked, “That won’t do. They shouldn’t scold you either!”

Su Jiu curiously asked, “Daddy, why did they scold you and me?”

Su Shengjing lowered his gaze and said, “Because Daddy didn’t do a good job. If Daddy were more capable, they wouldn’t have had the nerves to scold us.”

“No! It’s not true that you are incapable! You’re the best, Daddy!”

Su Shengjing couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the little girl’s sparkling eyes shining with admiration.

A child’s world was really simple. He was such a failure, yet to his daughter, he was actually the best person. Su Jiu’s words gave Su Shengjing renewed confidence and motivation.

Sheng Tianci, who was watching their display of affection, became so jealous that he wanted to punch the wall.

Little Jiu, can’t you hug me too? I helped your dad deal with the haters. Quick, praise me!

From the corner of her eye, Su Jiu spotted Sheng Tianci’s face, which was filled with anticipation. Hence, she praised him. “Uncle, you’re also amazing!”

Yes! I’m so happy!

After Su Shengjing left the house, Su Jiu dragged Sheng Tianci along and quietly followed him. She softly asked, “Uncle, why isn’t Big Brother here?”

“I left especially earlier today when he was still asleep. However, he should be awake by now. He will definitely throw a tantrum when he finds out that I didn’t wake him up.”

Although that was what Sheng Tianci said, the truth was that he had chosen to not bring Sheng Zhiyan along with him. That brat is really annoying. Plus, he keeps Su Jiu all to himself. It’s simply unacceptable!

How nice is it now? I can finally enjoy my time alone with this cute little angel.

Su Shengjing was the most hardworking worker amongst everyone else. Tossing a huge bag of cement on his shoulder, he gritted his teeth and moved them away. Then, he rushed back to carry the next bag.

The weather was so hot that Su Shengjing was drenched in sweat. He rolled his sleeves up to his shoulders, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and continued working.

Time slowly passed by. Su Shengjing had gone back and forth dozens of times. He was so tired that he was on the brink of collapsing. Therefore, he had no choice but to walk to a shaded area to rest. He grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the box and started drinking.

“Daddy…”

Suddenly, a cute voice rang out. He was so shocked that he almost dropped the bottle.
