"Also, can your divorce procedures be postponed? I can't pay back the debt, so I can only do my best to repay it. But Nanning Building is ours, and it can't be taken away by others. If you delay the divorce, those people will be hesitant for your sake. They won't dare to openly covet it anymore, so please understand."

That day in the office, the man who was usually decisive and ruthless, for the first time, let go of his dignity and just sat on the sofa, his eyes red, discussing with him word by word.

It is a negotiation, not a transaction or a request.

He put them on an equal footing, ignoring the fact that he was Yu Yan's husband. He was just an ordinary father seeking a shelter for his daughter. This shelter was not free, but paid, and the payment was half of the shares of Nanning Building.

He said, "I've failed as a father. I haven't given my daughter a better life. Seeing her walk among those beasts every day for us, I feel terribly sad as a father. It's just a company, I don't want it anymore. I spent over a decade in prison, but how could I let my daughter suffer so low? After all, she's someone else's wife. If anyone tells anyone, she'll be laughed at."

He heard a condemnation in the last sentence, and he was speechless because this was a father speaking up for his daughter. He could not refute it, and he had no way of refutating it.

He agreed to all his requests.

He promised him, "I'll help you pay off your debts. I'll find the best lawyer and will definitely try to reduce your sentence. I'll take good care of Yu Yan. I don't want the shares in Nanning Building, but I'll protect them for her."

How could I not agree? A father married his daughter off just to give her a good life in the future, but everyone misunderstood that he was after the Si family's money.

They really made a big mistake in this marriage, letting Yu Yan bear all the suspicion for no reason.

For the first time in his life, he felt cruel and mean.

Come to think of it, the Yu family started to go downhill gradually half a year ago. At that time, he could have come to the Si family for help, but he just held on. Even when he couldn't hold on any longer, he never came to them.

At that time, he had already made his attitude clear. He would never beg for anything from the Si family.

It was like a loud slap in the face, shattering his self-righteousness and his evil thoughts.

Yu's father smiled at his assurance, then refused. "Forget the debt. If you can't pay it back, just keep it. If I can get out of prison, I'll continue to pay it back. If not, I'll use the sales revenue of the Nanning Building to pay it back, bit by bit. As for lawyers, there's no need. Just leave it to fate. Yanyan said that if we go to jail, she'll find a house outside the prison and live there. We'll be inside and she'll be outside, so we can be reunited, silly child."

At the end, he smiled warmly, showing his doting tenderness without any concealment.

"As for taking care of her, it depends on your fate. She said she wants a divorce, so it depends on the negotiation between you two. You still have to take over the shares of Nanning Building. Only by taking over can you manage it legitimately."

He remained silent and did not mention the divorce or accepting general shares in Nanning Building.

Yu's father didn't bother to argue with him over such a trivial matter and ended up talking about something else.

As he left, he looked him in the eyes and said solemnly, "Ali, for the sake of me being your elder, could you please not push Yanyan? She has the final say on whether to divorce or not. She's very stubborn, and I don't want her to suffer any injustice."

Having been the daughter of the Yu family for more than 20 years, she has never suffered any grievances. It makes no sense for her to suffer inexplicable grievances after becoming someone else's daughter-in-law.

Si Youli was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Yu's father was satisfied and left with Yu's mother.

Then a car accident happened somehow. He didn't expect that would be the last time he saw them. It was cruel and decisive.
