Although I was mentally prepared, his direct question still caught me off guard. After a moment of hesitation, I replied, "What is it? I can't let her down twice."
Old Huang gestured for me to sit down. He, who rarely smoked, actually lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then said to me in a low voice, “Now that I’m already in Dali, there’s no need to hide it from you… Old Yang (Yang Sisi’s father) went bankrupt… There are too many creditors now, and he’s under immense pressure, so he went abroad… To be honest, he’s completely despondent, so much so that he needs sleeping pills to sleep every day… I came to Dali hoping to find Sisi and have her go abroad to keep Old Yang company… Old Yang loves his daughter the most. With her by his side, at least he won’t do anything foolish… Do you understand what I mean?”
I was a little surprised. In my eyes, Yang Sisi's family situation, at least her financial situation, had always been very stable. How could she suddenly go bankrupt? ... I even suspected that this was another scheme orchestrated by Lao Huang to take Yang Sisi away from Dali again.
Old Huang seemed to see through my doubts. He took out his phone from the table, searched for a while, and then handed it to me, saying, "I know you probably don't believe it, but it's true that Old Yang went bankrupt... Financial news has already reported it... The problem stemmed from the lawsuit he lost during the Chinese New Year. After losing the lawsuit, his reputation was affected, and several investors withdrew their investments... causing the cash flow of several of his major projects to dry up..." After a slight pause, Old Huang continued, "In short, this is a huge problem. I've known Old Yang for so many years, and this should be the biggest hurdle he's encountered in his business career."
Still somewhat skeptical, I asked, "Don't business people often encounter financial disputes? How could a lawsuit bankrupt them...? In my memory, their family should have a very strong foundation!"
Old Huang sighed, "The one suing him this time is his company's biggest investor... The situation and the nature of the case are completely different... I advised him long ago that he shouldn't fight this lawsuit. Whether he wins or loses, the other investors will have a negative opinion of him... But he's too strong-willed and insisted on fighting this lawsuit... In the end, not only did he not win, but he also lost the trust of the other investors..."
Only after Lao Huang explained it to this extent did I believe him. At the same time, I weighed the options in my mind... I knew Lao Huang must have come to me because he couldn't find Yang Sisi... I asked myself: Should I really do the same thing to Yang Sisi a second time? Want to chat with more like-minded people about "My Tenant Miss"?
