313: Life Without a Daughter

Life Without a Daughter

Hence, Old Mistress Sheng turned to Sheng Tianci. "Say—"1

Before she could say anything, Sheng Tianci interrupted her. "Mom, I know what you want to say, but I don't have the time right now. Really! I promised Shengjing that I would take care of his child. How would I have the time to find a relationship?"

The corners of Old Mistress Sheng's mouth twitched. She patted her son on the back as if she expected better from him. "Why are you so useless? Even finding a girlfriend is hard for you. Did I give birth to you just for you to spite me? If you continue like this, I won't be able to see my little granddaughter even after I'm in the coffin!"

"Mom, even if I get married, I might not be able to give birth to a granddaughter for you. Don't you realize that our family doesn't have a daughter? You don't have one, and neither do my elder brother and second brother. You should give up."

"You, you, you…" Old Mistress Sheng got so angry that she wanted to slap him.

Old Master Sheng glared at Sheng Tianci and said with a stern expression, "How can you talk to your mother like that? Can't you say something nice to make your mother happy? Don't you know how much she wants to hold her granddaughter?"

Sheng Tianci felt helpless. He held his forehead and said, "Okay, okay, Mom. I will try to find a wife and have a daughter in your lifetime to make you happy."

Old Mistress Sheng was speechless.

Why doesn't this sound nice at all? What does he mean by 'in your lifetime'? After all is said and done, it's still inaccurate. I really want to hit someone now.

The little girl sitting opposite the old woman giggled. Her childish and cute laughter rang out like a silver bell. The Old Mistress's unhappiness instantly disappeared without a trace.

See! How nice it is to have such a little girl at home!

After dinner, Old Mistress Sheng looked at Su Jiu and regained her loving expression. She waved at her. "Little Jiu, come. Come to Grandma."

Su Jiu walked over to her and said in her childish voice, "Grandma Sheng."

When Old Mistress Sheng heard that, her heart melted. She reached out to hold the little girl and stroked her hair. "Little Jiu, why does Grandma like you so much? If only you were our grandchild."

"I like Grandma Sheng too. I like you so much!" The little girl was so sweet that the old woman was overjoyed.

Sheng Tianci watched this from the side. From the bottom of his heart, he felt that it was really good to have a daughter, especially one like Little Jiu. If he had one, he would definitely spoil her forever.

However, he had yet to find a girlfriend. What could he do?

This makes me recall when is Song Wanqiu going to return the meal she owes me?

I can't wait any longer…

During the weekend, Su Jiu followed Sheng Tianci to the drama set to look for her father. Su Shengjing had been filming for two to three days in a row, and a few of his scenes had to be filmed in cold water. He was shivering from the cold.

When Su Jiu arrived at the film set, she saw a water sprinkler splashing water on her father's head, creating the illusion that it was a rainy day. He was drenched and dripping water.

It was already late autumn, and the temperature was low. The cold water chilled Su Shengjing to the bones. However, he did not complain. Instead, he completed every scene diligently.

The director could not help but suspect that the reports he had seen about Su Shengjing were fake.

Who said that Su Shengjing is arrogant and unprofessional, throws tantrums on set, and doesn't cooperate with the director and staff? Is he even the same person that made Qin Feng kneel and beg for mercy?

Su Shengjing does not seem like such an overbearing and unreasonable person.
