I Become A Burdensome Child After Transmigrating - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Little Jiu Is Missing (1)

Sheng Tianci walked over with Su Jiu in his arms. The little girl looked at him, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed together. She pouted, then made a face that seemed as if she were on the verge of tears.

“Daddy, you lied! You said that you work in the office, where you can enjoy the air conditioning. You liar…”

Su Shengjing started to panic. He subconsciously wanted to hug Su Jiu and properly explain to her. However, right now, he was filthy; he could not hug her.

Hence, he could only stand still and helplessly plead, “Darling, please listen to my explanation. I just thought that I could earn more money by working here. Don’t blame Daddy, okay?”

Seeing him look so guilty as if he had done something wrong, Su Jiu suddenly felt upset. She ran forward to hug him, not minding that he reeked of sweat. Choking on her tears, she yelled, “I’m blaming you! I’m blaming you for lying to me that you don’t get exhausted. Daddy, I’m very sad to see you like this.”

“…” Su Shengjing was stunned. He could not utter a single word and felt as if something was stuck in his throat.

After a while, he could only manage to utter, “Sorry, it’s all my fault.”

This was not a place for children. Hence, he asked the foreman for an hour’s leave, then carried Su Jiu out of here.

Before he went out, he took out a mask, put it on, and handed her over to Sheng Tianci.

Su Jiu knew that he did not want to be recognized so that she would not be exposed to the public. Hence, she obediently let Sheng Tianci carry her and walk in front.

Leaning on Sheng Tianci’s shoulder, Su Jiu kept stealing glances at Su Shengjing behind her. When she recalled the scene of him working so hard at the dusty construction site, she suddenly had an intense urge to help him.

Daddy’s dream doesn’t lie here. His talent shouldn’t be buried here.

He should be sparkling brightly on the stage!

As she thought, she heard Su Shengjing ask, “Darling, are you hungry?”

Su Jiu came back to her senses and gloomily nodded.

Su Shengjing thought that his daughter was still blaming him for lying to her. He felt even more guilty. I must do something to make her happy.

Suddenly, he saw a store selling hamburgers in front of him and got an idea. He knew that the place sold a children’s set meal that included toys. “Then, I’ll buy you something to eat. Wait here with Uncle.”

Su Jiu nodded again. “Okay!”

Su Shengjing walked toward the burger shop. Seeing the unhappy look on the little girl’s face, Sheng Tianci brought her to a small supermarket by the side of the road. He was about to buy her some sweets to console her when his phone suddenly rang.

When he whipped out his phone, he saw that it was a call from his company’s legal department. So he put Su Jiu down, told her to choose the sweets herself, and picked up the call. “Yes, all those accounts must be blacklisted and they must be sued. Don’t miss a single one. What? There are too many?! Then sue as many as you can. I hired all of you to work at Sheng Corporation so that you guys can work and not idle around!”

After leaving some instructions, Sheng Tianci hung up the call. When he turned around, however, he realized that Su Jiu had disappeared.

He became flustered. Even after he combed the supermarket, he could not find Su Jiu. It instantly made him anxious. “Su Jiu?” ”

“Little Jiu? Where did you go? Are you playing hide-and-seek with me? Your Daddy should be back soon. Come out!”

Only silence greeted him.

Sheng Tianci started to panic. He quickly stopped a shop assistant and asked, “Did you notice the little girl who came with me just now? Where did she go?”

“Huh?” The shop assistant shook her head. “I didn’t notice. The supermarket has two doors. Did she run out through the back door—”

Before the assistant could finish speaking, Sheng Tianci turned around and rushed toward the back door.
