1215: Taken Advantage of Again

Taken Advantage of Again

Su Jiu looked at him and did not speak for a moment. It was as if she could smell the faint hostility between the two of them. She quickly held her father's arm and smiled to smooth things over. "Daddy, it was very late when he got off work last night. I asked him to come over directly. I wanted to supervise his rest so that he wouldn't continue working when he gets back."1

Su Shengjing glanced at her and felt a little jealous. "You seem to care a lot about him."

Su Jiu stuck out his tongue. "As I should."

It was not that he did not want Rong Si to come over. After all, he and Su Jiu were engaged, so it was normal for them to stick together. However, when Rong Si came out of the bathroom in a disheveled state just now, it was hard not to think about it and feel that his daughter had been taken advantage of.

However, his daughter had grown up, so it was inappropriate for him to get involved in her relationship with Rong Si. He could only cast an indifferent glance at Rong Si. "If you want to visit next time, just visit. You don't have to sneak around in the middle of the night."

Su Jiu couldn't help but speak up for Rong Si again. "Daddy, didn't I just say? He got off work very late. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to wake you and Mommy up."

Su Shengjing knocked her forehead and angrily said, "You're standing on my side, yet you still want to speak up for him?"

His movements were not heavy, but Rong Si could not help but reach out and rub Su Jiu's forehead gently. His eyes were still on Su Shengjing as he said calmly, "Okay, Father-in-law. I'll come openly next time.

"By the way, Father-in-law, I have a good project here. The estimated profits after its completion are excellent. I wonder if you're interested?"

Su Shengjing was speechless.

This kid was not even married yet, but he kept calling him father-in-law. It was so smooth that Su Shengjing almost believed he was a father-in-law.

However, this kid had put in a lot of effort to please him. This year, he had participated in many projects and made a lot of money. It had to be said that Rong Si indeed had a mind for business and a sharp eye.

Su Shengjing raised an eyebrow. "I'm interested. Let's go down and have a chat."

"Okay." Rong Si obediently smiled. When he turned around, he quietly held Su Jiu's hand and whispered into her ear, "Thank you for speaking up for me."

His warm breath tickled her ears. She pouted. "When have I not spoken up for you?"

"Yes, I know you're the best to me."

"Of course," Su Jiu said as she tiptoed and kissed his lips.

During breakfast, the future father-in-law and future son-in-law chatted happily. Su Jiu felt that they ignored her. She was not very interested in doing business and could only fill her stomach first.

An Yuan sat beside her, looking at her with interest. "Little Jiu, when did Rong Si arrive last night?"

Su Jiu was a little embarrassed and whispered, "It was… after you guys fell asleep. He got off work at that time, so I called him over to make sure he wasn't secretly working overtime behind my back."

An Yuan suddenly smiled. "Why do you care so much about your future husband?"

Future husband…

These words made Su Jiu's heart beat faster.

An Yuan continued to tease her. She pretended to be sad and sighed. "Sigh, our baby has indeed grown up. She's already at the age to get married. I wonder if she'll only have a husband and no parents after getting married."

Su Jiu quickly denied it. "Of course not! Even if I grow up, I will still be the same Little Jiu as before. I will never forget my parents."

Seeing that her daughter took it seriously and looked nervous, An Yuan chuckled. "Alright, I was just teasing you."

She leaned closer to Su Jiu and quietly asked, "When do you plan to register your marriage? Has he discussed it with you?"
