5 – Son! This Guy Is Your Real Dad
She straightened her back with effort and sneered, “Hmph, what are you pretending for in front of me? This person is probably just a plant you hired!”
Before Su Jiaojiao could speak, Secretary Zhu, who was about to leave, raised an eyebrow and pointed at the emblem on his boss’s car.
“What did you say? Huh? Someone driving a luxury car worth tens of millions, coming here to act as a plant and deceive people? If you keep spouting nonsense, be careful I sue you for slander!”
Zhang Shufen glanced at the emblem of the luxury car, confirming it belonged to someone she couldn’t afford to offend, and immediately fell silent.
After shutting down Zhang Shufen, Secretary Zhu smiled and nodded at Su Jiaojiao, then took out a business card and handed it to her.
“Our boss has a long-term need for wild ginseng. If you ever intend to sell wild ginseng again, please be sure to contact our boss.”
He added, “Our boss is beautiful, kind-hearted, and not short on money. Selling wild ginseng to him will definitely not leave you at a loss.”
Su Jiaojiao curled her lips. Beautiful and kind-hearted?
How beautiful could a man be?
Holding the business card, she turned around and looked playfully at the man sitting in the car.
Earlier, when Fu Shangbai handed the check to Secretary Zhu, he had rolled down the car window.
So, as soon as Su Jiaojiao turned her head, she got a clear view of his face.
In an instant, Su Jiaojiao’s playful expression froze!
A storm of emotions surged within her!
Looking at Fu Shangbai’s sharply defined, excessively handsome face, she cursed inwardly like crazy!
What a cursed fate!
Will it never end?
It’s been hundreds of years—why did she run into this guy as soon as she entered the city?
Look at that face—it’s practically identical to that of the tyrant from a thousand years ago, the cold-faced general who came later, and the powerful minister after that!
Even if he turned to ashes, she’d recognize him!
Su Jiaojiao quickly touched her own face, which was now hideously ugly, and felt reassured.
That was close!
Thankfully, she had wisely chosen to disguise herself as ugly!
This time, she absolutely would not have any involvement with this man!
In her previous lives, she had been a beauty, and men, being lustful by nature, would naturally be drawn to her—no surprise there!
But this time, she was this ugly. She refused to believe this man could still find her appealing!
Noticing Secretary Zhu looking at her strangely, Su Jiaojiao snapped back to reality.
She casually touched her face and said, “Your boss truly is a beauty. It makes someone as ugly as me feel particularly ashamed!”
Secretary Zhu glanced at Su Jiaojiao’s face.
There was a black birthmark on her forehead, one eye larger than the other, and freckles all over…
She really wasn’t good-looking.
However, as Third Master Fu’s secretary, he was certainly not the shallow type to judge people by their appearance.
His expression unchanged, he smiled gently and said, “Please don’t be upset, ma’am. Medical science is so advanced now. If you’re willing to undergo surgery, your face could definitely become much more attractive.”
Su Jiaojiao grinned, “Forget it, it’s fine as it is.”
She gestured for Secretary Zhu to leave.
Secretary Zhu nodded, carefully holding the wild ginseng as he returned to the car.
Fu Shangbai’s indifferent gaze lingered on Su Jiaojiao from a distance.
He had taken in her surprised expression when she saw him earlier.
That look of hers inexplicably bothered him.
He couldn’t shake the feeling…
He asked Secretary Zhu, “What was she saying just now?”
Secretary Zhu replied, “She said our boss is very handsome, and seeing him made her feel ashamed of herself…”
Fu Shangbai looked thoughtfully at Su Jiaojiao.
Was that really it?Is it really not covering up something?
His gaze fell on the child Su Jiaojiao was holding. He stared for three seconds before suddenly looking away.
She absolutely could not be his Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao would never marry someone else, and she definitely could not have a child this young.
He closed his eyes. “Let’s go.”
The car slowly started moving.
Su Jiaojiao watched the car disappear into the distance from afar. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn’t help but frown slightly.
That Secretary Zhu said their boss regularly buys wild ginseng…
Could it be that the cursed man in this life is in poor health?
He didn’t even get out of the car just now. Could he be so weak he’s about to meet the King of Hell?
“I like this uncle!”
Su Jiaojiao, lost in thought, suddenly heard her son’s soft and sweet voice.
She snapped back to reality.
Looking down at her son’s adorable little face, Su Jiaojiao felt helpless. He likes him already?
Could this be the natural bond between father and son?
Holding her son, she lowered her voice and sternly warned him.
“If you ever see this man again, you must stay far away from him.”
“Why?”
Su Tuantuan looked up, his face full of curiosity as he stared at Su Jiaojiao.
Why stay away?
He really liked this uncle!
He sent someone to give him money to buy chocolate—he must be a kind and doting uncle!
And most importantly, he’s so handsome!
Could Su Jiaojiao tell the little rascal the truth—that this was his biological father?
Of course not.
With a serious expression, she made up a story. “Look, he’s willing to pay two million for just one hundred-year-old ginseng. He’s clearly not very bright! I’m afraid his foolishness might rub off on you!”
“Uh…” Su Tuantuan gave his mother a speechless look.
Does Mom still think he’s a three-year-old? He’s not—he’s five years old now!
He has a brain!
Would he believe something that sounds so obviously fake?
Rubbing his little chin, he pondered thoughtfully.
Mom is so serious about keeping him away from this uncle… There must be something going on!
Hmph, if he ever runs into this uncle again, he’ll definitely sneak around and find out who he is and what his relationship with Mom is…
“Did you hear me?”
Not hearing a response from the little one, Su Jiaojiao looked down at him.
“I heard!”
Su Tuantuan hid his little thoughts and looked up, answering in a sweet, childish voice.
With an adorable and well-behaved expression, he hugged his mother’s leg and acted spoiled.
“Tuantuan is the most obedient and well-behaved! I’ll do whatever Mom tells me to do! And I definitely won’t test my luck by doing things Mom tells me not to do!”
Su Jiaojiao burst into laughter at her sweet son’s antics.
There was no child in the world cuter than her son!
“Come on, Mom will take you to buy chocolate!”
Su Jiaojiao took her son’s hand, glanced coldly at Zhang Shufen, who was still heartbroken, and walked over to the nearby stall.
She asked, “How many boxes of chocolate do you have here?”
The female stall owner in her thirties smiled warmly at her. “I didn’t bring much today. I only have twenty boxes in total.”
Su Jiaojiao counted out sixteen hundred and handed it to her. “Pack them all up for me.”
“Uh…” At the neighboring stall, Zhang Shufen stared with reddened eyes at the money in Su Jiaojiao’s hand!
Ahhh, her heart aches again!
After losing two million, she’s now losing several thousand more!
It hurts so much!She felt her head throbbing with pain, almost unable to catch her breath!
Su Tuantuan noticed Zhang Shufen’s gaze, placed her two small hands on her hips, and glared at her triumphantly!
Hmph, angry, huh?
It would be best if you were furious to death!
