Hearing Jiang Nuan's question, Cheng Xueyuan took a deep breath, looked at Cheng Luoheng, and as if she had made up her mind, she talked to Jiang Nuan about something that happened a long time ago.

"That was when our family wasn't bankrupt yet, but we were on the brink of bankruptcy. Luo Heng's illness also began to manifest itself little by little from that time."

Cheng Xueyuan and Cheng Luoheng, brother and sister, began to recall the time four years ago:

"Dad! You're back! What gifts did you bring us on this business trip?"

"Dad! A gift! A gift!"

Cheng Xueyuan and Cheng Luoheng were pleasantly surprised to welcome Cheng Yiqi who had returned from a business trip, and pestered him for gifts.

Cheng Yiqi is undoubtedly a wonderful man who loves his children and his wife. Every time he goes on a business trip, he never forgets to bring gifts for his wife and children at home, even after his two children have grown up.

Therefore, Cheng Xueyuan and Cheng Luoheng believed that their father, who had returned from a business trip this time, would be no exception.

But this time they were destined to be disappointed.

Cheng Yiqi's purpose for this business trip was to attract investment so that the company could successfully overcome the crisis. However, the results of the business trip were not satisfactory. He failed to successfully attract sufficient investment to help the company overcome the crisis.

The thought of the company going bankrupt and the days of running around day and night made Cheng Yiqi feel exhausted both physically and mentally. He naturally forgot his habit of bringing souvenirs for his wife and children when he was on a business trip.

It was not until now when I saw the two older children surrounding me and asking for gifts that I remembered this incident.

"Sorry, my dears, Daddy forgot to bring you gifts. Can you forgive Daddy for this mistake?"

"ah--"

"No gifts."

Cheng Xueyuan and Cheng Luoheng's disappointment was visible to the naked eye, and the smiles on their faces disappeared in an instant.

As a girl who is used to acting coquettishly, Cheng Xueyuan simply pouted her lips and looked like she was about to cry.

Even though she is an adult.

Two pairs of wet eyes looked at Cheng Yiqi. Cheng Yiqi was a little overwhelmed and immediately apologized to them with a face full of apology and a sincere attitude.

His voice became a little hoarse from running around day and night, and his eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep.

"I'm sorry, it was Daddy who made the mistake. Don't be angry, my dears. Daddy will take you out for a delicious meal tonight as compensation, okay?"

"Okay!"

“Delicious! Delicious!”

After hearing what Cheng Yiqi said, Cheng Xueyuan and Cheng Luoheng immediately chose to forgive their father and went with him to have a big meal!

Seeing that the disappointment on Cheng Xueyuan and the others' faces had completely disappeared, Cheng Yiqi breathed a sigh of relief, then put down his briefcase and said to them.

"Let's go, let's go pick up mom from the company first, and then we'll go eat as a family."

"good!"

"Um!"

Although Cheng Yiqi and Cheng Jiajia had tried to hide the news of the company's trouble from Cheng Xueyuan and Cheng Luoheng, the meticulous Cheng Xueyuan still noticed it.

"Brother, do you feel that something is not right with mom and dad recently?"

Cheng Xueyuan asked Cheng Luoheng, who was fiddling with his computer without even looking up.

Cheng Luoheng frowned when he heard this, paused his hand movements, thought for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head.

He simply thought that his parents were a little busy lately, but after all, they were managing such a large company, so it was normal for them to be busy, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with his parents.

"Maybe."

"Do you know why?"

"have no idea."

Cheng Luoheng shook his head.

Seeing that Cheng Luoheng didn't know the reason for his parents' recent abnormality, Cheng Xueyuan fell into deep thought.

Just when Cheng Luoheng was about to assemble his host, Cheng Xueyuan suddenly grabbed Cheng Luoheng's shoulders and shook him back and forth vigorously.

"How about we quietly investigate why Mom and Dad have become like this lately?"

"ah?"

Cheng Luoheng was stunned. His attention was originally on his precious host. After being shaken by Cheng Xueyuan and hearing her say such inexplicable words, he was immediately frightened. He stared at his sister blankly, not knowing what to say.

"But I haven't graduated from college yet, and I don't want to get involved in company matters so early... and I have my own hobbies..."

Cheng Luoheng was a little hesitant, but Cheng Xueyuan scolded Cheng Luoheng righteously.

"Think about it, if we knew what our parents are worried about lately, wouldn't we be able to help them? We wouldn't have to worry about it like we are now!"

"Although you haven't graduated from college yet, you're an adult. Can you bear to see your parents working so hard?! As their children, aren't we going to help?! Are we going to just stand by and watch?!"

"This... Sister, what you said makes some sense..."

"Right! Makes sense, right?!"

Cheng Luoheng was persuaded by Cheng Xueyuan.

The two siblings acted immediately. That night, while Cheng Yiqi and Cheng Jiajia were not paying attention, they hid at the bedroom door and eavesdropped on their conversation while they were discussing something.

"Now the company... I don't know what to do..."

"Don't think too much... everything will be fine."

"Oh, I hope so..."

For the first time, Cheng Xueyuan and Cheng Luoheng hated the fact that their door was so soundproof. No matter how hard they tried to eavesdrop, they could only hear a little bit of sound.

But fortunately, hard work pays off.

They still got some useful "intelligence".

"Something seems to be wrong with the family company."

"Sister, what should we do?"

Cheng Luoheng originally wanted to discuss with his siblings before taking any action, but he didn't expect Cheng Xueyuan to directly knock on the door of Cheng Yiqi and their room.

"Dad, Mom, are you asleep? My brother and I have something to tell you."

Cheng Luoheng: “!!!”

Cheng Xueyuan wanted to tell Cheng Yiqi and the others directly that she would help them overcome the company's difficulties, but was rejected by Cheng Yiqi.

"Xue Yuan, you and Luo Heng should go back to sleep. There's nothing going on at the company. Your mother and I can handle it. Just go to school and don't worry."

"dad--"

"Okay, Xue Yuan, just listen to your dad and go back to sleep. Girls' skin will get worse if they stay up late~"

"mom--"

"Then let's go back to bed!"

This time it was Cheng Luoheng who interrupted Cheng Xueyuan. After saying good night to Cheng Yiqi and Cheng Jiajia, Cheng Luoheng took Cheng Xueyuan out of their room.

"Why are you stopping me?!"

Cheng Xueyuan was very angry. She didn't want to hide behind her parents and do nothing and be protected by them.

She has grown up!
