Novel Full Chapter 459 - Like A Little Cat
Su Jiu was now a four-year-old child. She did not need so much money. Besides, which parent would be willing to give their child so much money?
Su Shengjing walked over and stroked her soft hair with his big hand. His gaze was especially doting. "Daddy earned money this year because of you. Of course, I have to give you a big red packet. Baby, do you know how much this is?"
Su Jiu knew it but pretended to not understand. Shaking her head, she placed her finger on the check and counted. "One 'zero,' two 'zeros,' three 'zeros'… Daddy, why are they all 'zeros'? No, there's a 'one'!"
Su Shengjing was touched by her childish voice. He suddenly laughed. "This is one million yuan. You can buy a lot of things now. But we'll save this money for now. When you're older, you can use it to buy even more things if you need them, okay?"
"Okay!" Su Jiu obediently nodded and placed the check in his hands. "Daddy, this is too much money. Help me keep it and give it to me when I grow up."
She couldn't bear to give me a hundred thousand yuan just now, but now she's willing to give a million yuan?
Su Shengjing laughed. "Baby, this is one million yuan. It's much more than the money Uncle Sheng gave you. Are you really willing to give it to me? Aren't you afraid that I won't give it to you after I take care of it?"
"I'm not! Because Daddy said that he wouldn't lie to Little Jiu."
Su Shengjing choked.
Alright, I indeed said this before. The little girl still remembers it very clearly. Furthermore, she trusted him so much that she did not doubt him at all.
He smiled again. "Yes, I'm not lying to you. Alright, are you sleepy? Take a shower and sleep."
***
By the time she showered and went to bed, it was already past one in the morning.
The little girl also came over to sleep with Su Shengjing with a pillow and a teddy bear today. She nestled in her father's arms like a little kitten and couldn't help but smile. She was obviously in a good mood.
Su Shengjing smiled too. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so happy today?"
"Of course, I'm happy because I received a big red packet and a gift. No, not at all!" The little girl looked up at him and changed the topic. "The happiest thing is that I can spend the New Year with Daddy this year!"
So this is what it feels like to have a family to celebrate the New Year with. It's really different. For the first time, Su Jiu had felt something called a "reunion."
Upon hearing her words, Su Shengjing was stunned for a moment. Then, a warm feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
He suddenly thought of his past self. Ever since he had left the Su family, he had not spent the New Year with his family.
He still remembered that when he had left the entertainment industry, it was close to the New Year. At that time, he lived in that shabby rented apartment and saw countless people scolding and attacking him on his phone. There were all kinds of nasty words about him.
That time also had the constant sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside the window, but Su Shengjing had not felt the festive atmosphere at all. He was still angry and sad, so he had used alcohol to numb his feelings.
That year, he had drunk a lot of alcohol and spent a lot of time being drunk.
He had been reduced to a rat in a smelly ditch. Even Su Guobang despised him and would often mock and ridicule him. From then on, Su Shengjing no longer had any thoughts of returning to the Su family, let alone spending the New Year with the old man and having a reunion meal.
In his eyes, only Sheng Tianci and Su Jiu were worth spending time with.
Su Jiu especially. She had always told him that she loved her father the most, and that everything was fine as long as she was with him. Everything else did not matter.. She trusted and relied on him wholeheartedly, making him feel as though he was someone who was needed and had value.
