Old Chief Xing’s cough interrupted Xing Su’s wild imagination. Old Chief Xing said, “Your father called this morning and asked if you were back from England.”

“What does he want to do?” Xing Su resisted at the mention of her father. Ever since her mother passed away and her father married her aunt, her relationship with her father had been like fire and water. It was not that she could not accept her father remarrying, but she could not accept that her aunt was the person her father remarried to. In Xing Su’s heart, it was not only about her father marrying her stepmother, but also about the betrayal between relatives.

On the day her aunt married her father, Xing Su hid in her room and cried for the entire night. When she was tired from crying, it was her aunt who brought a bowl of porridge into the room to comfort her. However, that bowl of porridge spilled on her aunt’s delicate arm. That was the first time her father hit her. Her father was furious and did not listen to her explanation. He wholeheartedly thought that she was insensible and deliberately injured her aunt. From then on, Xing Su did not cry or make a fuss because she knew that her father was no longer her father. Although she and He Benkang were still father and daughter in name, they had no feelings for each other in reality.

Old Chief Xing continued, “Although your father is a good-for-nothing, he’s still your father. Grandpa is old and will leave you sooner or later. I don’t want to have no one in this world to protect you after I die. No matter what, you’re related to your father by blood.”

Xing Su said, “Grandpa, I’m already an adult and don’t need anyone to protect me. Even if I need someone to protect me, the person who can protect me won’t be him.” As she spoke, she leaned her head on her grandfather’s shoulder. “Grandpa’s body is so strong. He won’t die. Grandpa has to protect me for the rest of my life. No one else will treat me like Grandpa.”

Old Chief Xing turned his head to look at his precious granddaughter and sighed deeply.

…

The next morning, Xing Su was woken up by a cat. The fat cat that Old Chief Xing had carefully raised came to lick her again. Xing Su, who was itchy, could only get up from the bed sleepily.

At the same time, the phone by the bed rang. Before the other party could speak, Xing Su scolded, “Gu Nian, you dog. You actually left Grandpa and me alone at the racecourse yesterday. Is this something a human would do?”

Gu Nian grinned. “Didn’t we agree when we were young that we would share blessings and fly separately in the face of disaster? Moreover, if I didn’t run, I would have been whipped a few times.”

Xing Su pulled the fat cat into her arms and rubbed it twice before continuing, “Alright, I’ll wait for you to be in trouble next time!”

On the phone, Gu Nian said lazily, “Alright, don’t be angry. You haven’t been back in China for a few years. I’ll bring you out to see the world.”

Xing Su: “…”

“Is this the place you’re talking about?” Xing Su looked at the rows of Maserati in the 4S shop and interrogated Gu Nian. Gu Nian did not like beauties and preferred sports cars. His family also spoiled him, so among the rich second-generation heirs, he had the most number of sports cars. Now that the new sports car was on the market, as a VIP among the VIPs, he was naturally the first to receive the news.

Gu Nian: “I brought you here this time to wash away the poverty on your body. You’re the daughter of a good corporation. You’re rich and beautiful. How can you go overseas to study? You even made yourself a bumpkin, boor, hillbilly!”

Xing Su: “What do you know? That’s because I have a high level of awareness and treat money like dirt!”

Xing Su was indeed rich. Just the living expenses her father had transferred to her card were around several million yuan. A sports car was nothing to her. She was just not interested in sports cars.

Gu Nian nodded perfunctorily and said to the shop assistant who was waiting at the side, “Alright, please give this high-minded lady the latest sports car. She has a lot of dirt.”

Before Xing Su could stop her, the shop assistant went to write the order with a smile.

“I didn’t say I wanted to buy it…” Xing Su said unhappily. Before she could finish speaking, the glass door at the door opened automatically. Two women in Chanel’s new high heels walked in. The shop assistant at the side had already run over to welcome them.

Seeing the two women coming in, Gu Nian smirked and said lazily, “Did you see that? You’re the daughter of the He Group, yet you’re so stingy and hesitant when buying a sports car, but the pheasant who relied on her own mother to crawl into her brother-in-law’s bed to climb up the social ladder is much more generous that you.”

Xing Su was speechless.
