Seeing his daughter like this, he suddenly didn't know how to start. "Daughter, don't say that. Dad doesn't feel tired. Many things are different from what you see. You don't need to feel sorry for Dad. This is the path Dad chose, and I naturally know how to walk it."

That's not what Dad wants to talk to you about today.

This puzzled Nan Yin. If it wasn't this, then what was it?

"Dad, what do you want to tell me?"

In fact, Nan Yin had talked to Nan Xin several times, hoping that she could treat her father better, but every time Nan Xin would scold her mercilessly, making Nan Yin feel that her mother didn't love her father or her, and that neither of them was important to her.

“Your mother wants you to go out to eat, but don’t go. She’s planning to take you to meet someone, that young master Lin, the one Dad asked you to call uncle last time. He’s even older than Dad.”

Nan Yin covered her mouth, unable to believe it, then her nose tingled, feeling particularly wronged.

"How could that be? Dad, you're lying to me, aren't you?"

How could that be? She's my mother's biological daughter. Even if she dislikes her, she wouldn't do something like this.

But her father's serious expression and their heated argument reminded her of one thing: it was true, absolutely true. Otherwise, her father wouldn't be so angry, and wouldn't have argued with her mother so fiercely. In the past, her father would always consider her feelings and wouldn't have such a strong argument.

"How could this happen?" Too much grievance burst forth all at once, and tears welled up in her eyes. No matter what, she was still her mother's daughter. Why did it turn out like this? Why?

Why would you push her onto a man like that? Why?

How did she know I have a boyfriend?

Then Nan Yin grasped the key point: she had never told anyone that she had a boyfriend, so how did they know? What was going on?

"I don't know either. Who have you told about having a boyfriend?"

In Ouyang Hua's view, his daughter is already so grown up, it's normal for her to have a boyfriend and to be in a relationship.

“I…” Nan Yin quickly remembered someone, her best friend Han Yue.

She only told Han Yue that if it really was her...

“You can think about this problem slowly, but you absolutely cannot go to that dinner party, even if your mother says that something has happened to the company and the company will go bankrupt if you don’t go.

The company is not as important as your happiness. Even if you marry that old man, he won't help you, let alone give you any money. His son is about the same age as you, how could he possibly spend money or effort to help us?

Besides, your mother doesn't know anything about business; the company won't succeed under her leadership.

She never thought about how good the company would be; she just wanted to spend money.

Before Nan Yin's maternal grandfather passed away, he managed the company. At that time, it didn't matter how much Nan Xin squandered money, as the company was managed by the old man. After Nan Xin left, the old man completely let himself go, like an evil dragon that had been unleashed from its chains and could no longer be controlled.

Of course, this also reflects Ouyang Hua's willingness to let things go. His goal was to put the company in a desperate situation so that it could be reborn. He hadn't been a subservient figure for so many years; only by letting the company go bankrupt could he survive and start over.

"Dad..." Nan Yin was extremely upset. What her father said was so heavy, and she didn't want to hear it at all...

"Yinyin, you will have to know and face these things sooner or later. The company is not your responsibility. Even if the company is gone, Dad will still be by your side to protect you. Dad can still work, but if something happens to you, Dad will not know what to do. You are Dad's precious daughter, and Dad never wants anything to happen to you, do you understand?"

Nan Yin nodded with tears streaming down her face. She was so sad, really so sad.

From her earliest memories, her mother always seemed impatient, her eyes always filled with disdain, as if she were looking at a piece of disgusting garbage...

She was really upset. She wanted to work harder, to achieve something, and to let her mother know that she was also excellent.

No matter how hard she tried, no matter what she did, she couldn't seem to get her mother's approval. Now, her mother even wanted to marry her off to an old man.

“I heard from your mom that she has already called your boyfriend’s mother and offered her 50,000 yuan to settle things. You should keep that in mind.”

If you need anything in the future, just tell Dad, and Dad will help you.

Dad didn't mean to agree. He just thought you could date, but as for marriage, Dad would have to consider the other person's character and whether they were capable of making you happy.

Ability isn't about how much money someone can earn, but rather whether they have ambition and work hard. Do you understand?

It's unclear whether Ouyang Hua regretted his choice back then, but one thing is certain: once he made the decision, he would never back down.

He will overcome all obstacles on this path and continue on until he achieves everything he desires.

"I understand, Dad. I'm not feeling well. Can I go back to my room first?"

So much happened that day; she needs some time to process it all.

Whether it was that old man or her mother calling Liu Xu's mother, it was all too shocking for her.

"Go ahead, don't think about anything, everything can be resolved, get some rest."

"Uh-huh."

Nan Yin stood up and stumbled back to her room, almost falling several times. Ouyang Hua felt very sorry for her, but could only watch his daughter leave.

Whether he can succeed is still unknown, but she will not back down.

When Nan Yin returned to her room and saw Liu Xu's phone call, she suddenly realized that Liu Xu's mother might have come back because of this. At that moment, she felt even more upset.

What on earth is going on here?

She quickly sent a message to Liu Xu.

Nan Yin: [I just found out something. Did my mom call your mom? I'm sorry.]

Liu Xu has arrived at the airport and is currently waiting in the departure lounge, looking at his girlfriend's message with some confusion.

Liu Xu: [How did you know?] For a moment, he felt a little sad.

His pride was a little hurt; he felt that it was because he hadn't tried hard enough that things turned out this way.

Nan Yin: [My dad told me. I'm sorry, I didn't know about this. I think I know who told my mom—it was Han Yue. Only she knows about what happened between us.]

Nan Yin: [Liu Xu, I'm so sorry. I know how awful my mom's words were. Could you please apologize to your aunt for me? Because of me, you've suffered.]

Liu Xu: [Silly girl, why would you think like that? It's because I'm not good enough. I should work harder. Besides, your mother is doing this for your own good. She hopes you'll have a good life in the future and that you can find a good boyfriend.]

Don't be sad, and don't feel sorry. Since we're together, there's no need to distinguish between "yours" and "mine." Let's try our best to show your mother that we're happy together.
