Xia Yuntao looked bewildered. "Aze, what are you talking about? Haven't I already explained it to you clearly? I've been scammed, and now I have no money or assets. Why won't you believe me?"
Xia Ruizhe suddenly knelt down on the ground with a "thud," wiping away tears and snot. "Dad, I was ignorant before, and you were afraid that if you gave me the family's wealth, I would squander it all."
But look at me these past two months, I've been going out every day to do odd jobs carrying gas cylinders. Look at my hands, I've never done any rough work with these hands since I was a child.

Xia Yuntao closed his eyes. Sure enough, he was hopeless. "How do you want to be rude to us? Hit me? Go ahead and do it. Anyway, I don't want to live this poor life anymore."
Wang Shuyi was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
She knew that Yang Qiaoqiao had sent people to protect them nearby, and she was already thinking of shouting for help.
