Chapter 1979: At Worst, Start Over

Wei Yangyang looked to her side and saw Yi Xiang signaling for her to go out and talk.

Once the two walked out of the hospital room, Yi Xiang told Wei Yangyang everything he had seen.

Wei Yangyang was shocked.

She murmured in confusion, "That driver has worked for our family for many years; how could he do such a thing..."

"Nine times out of ten it was for profit, but for the specific reason, we have to find him and ask carefully."

"But so much time has been delayed; the driver... I'm afraid he has already hidden away without a trace."

"I can help you think of a way."

"... Thank you."

Wei Yangyang was truly grateful to Yi Xiang.

If he hadn't been there today, she really wouldn't dare to imagine what would have happened!

Yi Xiang then said, "Why be so polite? We are friends."

"Yes, friends. I am very fortunate to have a friend like you."

Wei Yangyang spoke words of gratitude, but her expression was haggard and her eyes were somewhat hollow.

Looking at her, it made one feel very heartbroken.

Yi Xiang suddenly wanted to hug her.

But after hesitating for a moment, Yi Xiang only patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, everything will get better."

Just as Yi Xiang finished speaking, footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.

Those footsteps were very hurried.

At the same time, they were accompanied by an anxious call: "Yangyang!"

Wei Yangyang looked up and was surprised to see the Jiang siblings.

Jiang Motian trotted to Wei Yangyang's side and hugged her at once.

Wei Yangyang had wanted to tell Jiang Motian that she was fine and that there was no need to worry about her like this.

However...

Her body could not stop trembling.

Her eyes turned red, and tears dampened Jiang Motian's clothes.

Seeing Wei Yangyang like this, Li Xingyan truly wished that the person comforting her at this moment was himself.

But he also knew that if he really hugged Wei Yangyang, she would likely not be expressing her true feelings, but rather resisting in every way.

Thinking this, Li Xingyan lowered his eyes gently.

Afterward, he turned his head to look at Yi Xiang, who was standing to the side, and said, "You saved the uncle?"

"Yes."

"Thanks to you."

"Yangyang has already thanked me, but you two, where did you hear about this?"

"We heard that the aunt was not feeling well, so we came to visit. As a result, we learned about this from the servants."

Wei Yangyang still hadn't gone to the Art Studio today.

Li Xingyan and his sister felt that Wei Mama's illness might be a bit serious.

That was why they had made the trip.

But they hadn't expected... that in the end, they would hear that Wei Baba was hospitalized.

Wei Yangyang's emotions had already stabilized quite a bit.

She wiped the tear stains from her face, stood up straight, and said to Li Xingyan, "My father's company has run into some problems."

"What kind of problems?"

"There is an institution overseas that wants to short my father's company."

Hearing this, Li Xingyan instantly understood why Wei Yangyang had wanted to learn from him.

But while understanding, he also felt a bit annoyed, not understanding why Wei Yangyang hadn't said so clearly before.

Did she... not trust him?

Li Xingyan had just made this assumption when he silently told himself that now was not the time to pursue it.

He shook off his wandering thoughts and then said to Wei Yangyang, "I need some specific information; can you give it to me?"

"Wait a moment."

Because Wei Baba was going to find Li Xingyan today, he had prepared some data in advance and put it on a USB drive.

That USB drive was in Wei Baba's suit pocket.

Wei Yangyang turned back to retrieve it.

Afterward, she handed it to Li Xingyan.

This USB drive could be plugged into a mobile phone to be used.

In order to grasp useful information as quickly as possible, Li Xingyan plugged it into his phone.

But the information inside...

Made Li Xingyan's eyes darken slightly.

Jiang Motian felt that matters in the business world would not be very difficult for her brother.

But his change in expression...

Jiang Motian asked hurriedly, "Is it very tricky?"

"The overall situation is settled; the Wei Family can only start over from the beginning."

Jiang Motian looked over in disbelief and asked, "Can't we help either?"

"We can lend money to the Wei Family to help them get through this crisis. But two-thirds of the money provided would end up in the pockets of that institution, so it would be better to just start over."

Li Xingyan was analyzing it from the perspective of investment and return.

This was beyond reproach.

But he overlooked the dedication Wei Baba had put into his career over these years.

If Wei Baba still had capital, he would rather send that two-thirds of the money into the other party's pockets.

Unfortunately...

They no longer had any capital.

Wei Yangyang also had no right to ask Li Xingyan to help her throw meat buns at a dog—a futile effort.

At this moment, she could only feign nonchalance and say, "It's fine, at worst, we'll just start over from the beginning."

Li Xingyan saw the feigned strength in her eyes.

This made Li Xingyan's heart ache.

It also made him blame himself.

After a moment of silence, Li Xingyan said, "If your father plans to reopen the company, I can provide an interest-free loan. If you need resources, I can help keep an eye out. By the way, I can also hire new employees in advance and provide training, so they can start working immediately."

This help from Li Xingyan could be called a one-stop service.

It was truly thoughtful.

But how could Wei Yangyang be so troublesome?

Moreover, she was in no mood to think about these things right now, so she only said, "Let's wait until Dad recovers and let him decide."

"That works too."

Jiang Motian felt her brother was performing well and didn't forget to take the opportunity to praise him: "Brother, you are truly providing help in a time of need."

"This isn't providing help in a time of need, but atoning for my sins."

Huh?

Jiang Motian wondered if her brother was confused; otherwise, why would he use the wrong word?

In fact, Li Xingyan had not used it incorrectly.

He took a deep breath and looked at Wei Yangyang again.

Then he said, "This financial institution... I am the largest investor."

Once these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Wei Yangyang also stared fixedly at Li Xingyan, her expression very complex.

Jiang Motian was the first to snap out of it.

She tugged at Li Xingyan's sleeve and said anxiously, "Brother, did you see it wrong?"

"I didn't see it wrong; the name of that institution is clearly written in these documents."

"Then... then..."

Then he shouldn't have said it under these circumstances!

Her brother was such a smart person, why didn't he know how to read the situation!

Did he not know that after hearing this, Wei Yangyang would develop many misunderstandings!?

Jiang Motian was extremely anxious.

Her usually clever brain couldn't think of a single thing to say.

Li Xingyan, however, had something to say.

He told Wei Yangyang, "But I never plotted against your father. Back then, I only invested because I felt this institution had development prospects; I didn't ask about how it developed subsequently."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Wei Yangyang lowered her eyes.

Then she gave a cold laugh.

That smile, devoid of any warmth, made Jiang Motian silently cry out, "Oh no!"

The next second, Wei Yangyang murmured, "Dad was on his way to see you when this happened. Now, we are bankrupt, and you actually had a hand in it. That driver... could it be that he has a connection to you as well!"

"It's not like that, I have never bought off anyone around you!"

"But... do you think I will still believe you?"
