Chapter 1977: Not Wanting to Let Her Daughter Hang Her Head in Shame

Wei Mama was seen crying as she hugged her husband, complaining while she wept: "Why did you act as if you had vanished from the face of the earth, not even returning phone calls!? Do you have any idea how worried we were, to the point of death!!"

Wei Baba held his wife tightly, explaining in a heavy tone: "I knew the debt collectors would come for me, so I hid away alone, not wanting to cause trouble for anyone else. But I never expected..."

Wei Baba sighed and said "sorry" once more.

Wei Yangyang also shed tears.

On this day, Wei Yangyang had been filled with fear and anxiety.

Seeing her father safe at this moment, the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

After her heart was at ease, Wei Yangyang wiped the tear stains from her face and then asked: "Dad, is there really an overseas institution trying to short us?"

Her daughter's words made Wei Baba calm down a little.

Then, he nodded with difficulty.

"But we are just a small company; going to such great lengths, they won't even be able to get much meat out of it."

After training with Li Xingyan, Wei Yangyang now had sufficient understanding of the financial industry.

She could even spot the unreasonable aspects of certain business behaviors.

The behavior of this overseas institution did not look very reasonable.

Regarding this, Wei Baba's explanation was: "They are biting down and refusing to let go; it looks more like some enemy wants to drive me to my death."

"An enemy? Then who could it be?"

"I have thought about it, but I have no leads."

The people Wei Baba came into contact with were relatively limited.

He could rack his brains, yet he still couldn't think of anyone who could hold such deep hatred for him.

Seeing her father's furrowed brows, Wei Yangyang knew that he truly had no leads.

Since that was the case, she decided not to dwell on this question anymore and instead asked something else: "Then what is the worst-case scenario?"

"The company goes bankrupt, we will have nothing left, and even the house will... be taken away."

This outcome made Wei Mama's face turn pale.

She was a person who had lived in the lap of luxury.

Over these years, she had been like the greenhouse flowers she cultivated herself.

Delicate and dripping with dew, yet without any ability to withstand the wind.

She didn't even dare to imagine what life would be like if what her husband said came true.

Wei Yangyang also panicked.

The outcome her father described meant that decades of hard work would be destroyed in an instant!

How could anyone accept this?

Wei Yangyang desperately wanted to turn the tide.

But with her abilities, she simply couldn't do it.

Then...

In her panic, Wei Yangyang suddenly thought of someone.

That person made Wei Yangyang feel as if she saw hope.

She even said to her father: "I will go beg Li Xingyan to help us!"

"Sigh, it's too late, the company has already become an empty shell..."

"Then... what if we make that overseas institution stop?"

Wei Baba smiled bleakly and muttered: "That is a fantasy."

"I can still..."

"Alright Yangyang, I have already done all the striving I could; now, the overall situation is settled... Fortunately, I have hidden a sum of money here, you and your mother will go abroad tomorrow!"

This was the last path Wei Baba had paved for his wife and daughter.

Once the three of them parted ways, it was feared that it would be difficult to ever see each other again.

Thinking of this, Wei Baba's complexion turned dark.

Yet his gaze was very firm.

Wei Mama, however, said with a look of resistance: "No, how can we let you face all this alone!"

"Because of my negligence, things have become what they are today; I deserve to bear the consequences. But you are my last hope; as long as you can live well, I will have no regrets!"

Why did these words from Wei Baba sound like...

Wei Yangyang's heart skipped a beat.

Then she said in a firm tone: "Mom and I are not leaving!"

"Yangyang, be obedient!"

"We. Are. Not. Leaving!"

"Wei Yangyang!"

"Even if you scold me or hit me, I'm not leaving!"

Wei Yangyang's stubborn temper flared up.

But now was truly not the time to be stubborn.

Wei Baba was so angry that he actually raised his arm.

Fortunately, Wei Mama stopped him and said urgently: "Our daughter's injuries have only just healed, what are you doing!!"

Only then did Wei Baba suddenly come to his senses.

Then, Wei Baba said in a dispirited manner: "I beg you both, just go."

After saying this, Wei Baba actually moved to kneel!

Wei Yangyang was so startled that she hurriedly stopped her father.

She cried and said, "Don't be in such a rush to give up; I will go find Li Xingyan tomorrow. If he also says there's no way, then I will leave with... Mama!"

This was merely a delaying tactic by Wei Yangyang.

But in her heart, she still held onto a sliver of hope.

She hoped that Li Xingyan... could become the light of their salvation.

Seeing that Wei Yangyang had cried until her eyes were red, Wei Baba immediately felt a sense of reluctance in his heart.

He feared he didn't have much time left to spend with his daughter.

Since that was the case, why not let the girl be happy for a while?

Thinking this, Wei Baba finally made a concession: "Fine, but tomorrow, I will go find Xingyan to talk."

Wei Yangyang immediately beamed with a smile.

Wei Baba smiled too.

But his smile was very bitter.

To be honest, discussing a strategy with a younger generation, and even asking for the other party's help...

It was truly awkward.

Moreover, don't look at the fact that the Wei Family and the Li Family have a good relationship; once it involves interests, the nature of it changes.

It might even cause his daughter to be unable to hold her head up in front of them.

So...

Wei Baba decided that even if they met tomorrow, he would only touch upon the matter lightly.

As for whether Li Xingyan would help...

It didn't matter anymore; in any case, it was very difficult to change the overall situation.

The next day—

Wei Baba was watched by his wife and daughter as he got into the car.

Wei Yangyang even gave the driver extra instructions, telling him to make sure he delivered her father to the main entrance of the Li Corporation.

After hearing this, Wei Baba asked helplessly, "Could I even sneak away?"

"Wouldn't you? Not only would you, but you'd also just go through the motions!"

"You child..."

"Anyway, I'll talk to Li Xingyan about your affairs afterward; even if you don't explain it clearly, as long as I'm here, the matter won't be hidden!"

Wei Yangyang's tone carried a hint of intimidation.

And her intimidation made Wei Baba reveal a helpless smile.

The driver slowly started the car.

Wei Yangyang and Wei Mama stood where they were, staring blankly in the direction Wei Baba had left.

The driver could still see the mother and daughter in the rearview mirror.

He couldn't help but say, "The Madam and the young lady truly care about you."

"Yes."

"But this time, you truly made the wrong choice; there is no hope of turning things around."

Wei Baba knew this as well.

But hearing these words come from the driver's mouth...

Wei Baba frowned.

The driver, however, had no intention of stopping and continued to comment on Wei Baba's behavior.

And his choice of words was very sharp.

Finally, Wei Baba could bear it no longer and scolded, "What is wrong with you today? Shut your mouth and drive your car well!"

"I will certainly drive this car well. But I'm afraid you won't have many opportunities left to enjoy my service."

"So you wanted to leave; if you want to go, then go early, there's no need to say things that annoy people!"

"Do you think I don't want to leave? I am just trying to finish one last thing before I go."
