I Become A Burdensome Child After Transmigrating - Chapter 75
Chapter 75: The Child’s Trump Card
Su Shengjing bent down and gently placed his hands on Su Jiu’s shoulders. He seriously said to her, “It’s not that I don’t want to participate in that show. However, many people think that I did something bad in the past, and they keep scolding me.”
Su Jiu immediately rebuked him, “Daddy, you’ll never do anything bad. I believe in you.”
Su Shengjing chuckled and continued, “But these people don’t believe me. I’m worried that if you participate in the show, they will recognize you as my daughter. What if they start scolding you as well?”
It was a horrible life to constantly have people discussing behind your back every time you went out.
Su Jiu blinked, looking a little confused. “I didn’t do anything wrong, so why would they scold me? I’m not afraid of being scolded as long as you don’t scold me.”
Gazing at her optimistic expression, Su Shengjing thought that she was indeed a child ignorant to the workings of the world.
She didn’t know how to read words, so she did not know how the others scolded her. However, she would grow up one day. By then, she would realize how vicious those people were when they attacked her.
Su Shengjing was worried that it would traumatize her young mind.
Instead of exposing her to the world, he would rather let her hide behind him and happily grow up. However, he was afraid that his tattered self could not protect her.
Su Jiu noticed the hesitant and distressed look on Su Shengjing’s face and also felt heartbroken.
She could tell that her father did not care what would happen to him. All he cared about was her. He was afraid she would be hurt.
However, Su Jiu was confident that she could seize this opportunity with her father, earn more money, and allow him to make a comeback!
Left with no choice, Su Jiu could only use a child’s trump card. She tugged Su Shengjing’s sleeve and insisted, “Daddy, I want to join the show! I want to earn money! If you don’t let me go, I will cry!”
She sounded like she were on the brink of tears. Her eyes were red and full of tears. Without blinking, she stared at Su Shengjing as if she would burst into tears if he disagreed.
Su Shengjing was speechless.
How can I even reject her?
Later that night, Yang Fangping received a call from Su Shengjing. When he heard that Su Shengjing had agreed to go on the show, he was overjoyed.
Alright! I managed to invite an award-winning actor and his son. With such a cute child like Su Jiu on top of that, I’m sure that the viewership ratings will be amazing!
If it doesn’t, I’ll live-stream myself eating a television!

After calling Yang Fangping, Su Shengjing called Sheng Tianci and broke the news to him.
Sheng Tianci was surprised. “What? You’ve decided to bring Little Jiu onto the show? Will that work? Even celebrities with a good reputation are reluctant to expose their children to the public. Some of their children are very old, yet the public doesn’t even know what they look like. The internet doesn’t even have photos of them as babies.
“Moreover, if someone like you were to join the show with Little Jiu, the reporters and media personnel would surround you. It will be very troublesome.”
Sheng Tianci persistently continued, “If you guys are filming that kind of show, you have to go out in public. What if you meet some radical people who may try to hurt you? Should I arrange bodyguards to follow you guys?”
It was not his fault for being so long-winded. After spending all this time together with her, Sheng Tianci already treated Su Jiu as his own daughter.
His worries were no less than Su Shengjing’s.
Su Jiu leaned closer to Su Shengjing’s phone and commented in a sweet voice, “Uncle, I was the one who asked Daddy to participate in the show. We can earn a lot of money! Nothing bad will happen, so don’t worry.”
Sheng Tianci felt extremely touched. Little Jiu, if only you were my daughter! I’d dote on you so much! I wouldn’t need a child to earn money for me, okay?
