After dinner, Charlotte accompanied the little fellow to play games. Duo Duo looked at Charlotte and then turned to look at Gao Yi’an. She grabbed Charlotte’s arm and said, “Mommy, is Uncle Gao Daddy?”
The kindergarten children said that their daddy would take them to eat delicious food, buy them toys, and hug them ... But uncle Gao was doing all these things, so was he her daddy?
The atmosphere became awkward. Gao Yi’an gently pinched the little girl’s soft cheeks and smiled, “Duo Duo, why are you asking this?”
Duo Duo scratched her hair and said seriously, “Because all the other children have daddy.”
After saying that, the little girl lowered her head dejectedly and muttered, “Uncle Gao is not daddy, because Uncle Gao doesn’t live with us.”
Xia Luobing’s eyes were gloomy. She had always felt that her daughter was still young. She could tell her these things when she grew up. She didn’t expect that the little child already had something on her mind.
“Baby, can you listen to Mommy explain to you?” Xia Luobing gently picked up her daughter and sat on the sofa. “Actually, you also have a daddy. However, that person is not Uncle Gao. He loves you as much as Uncle Gao.”
It’s just that he doesn’t know of your existence, Charlotte said silently in her heart.
Duo Duo widened her beautiful eyes and said happily, “Really? Where is he now? Why did he never come back to see Duo Duo? Doesn’t he want Duo Duo to miss Mommy?”
Xia Luobing was speechless when he asked the question in his childish voice. After a long while, he explained softly, “Daddy is on a business trip. He has to do a job that takes a long time to finish. When he finishes his work, he can come back to see Duoduo. If Duoduo was a bit better, Daddy would come back early.”
Duo Duo nodded her head in understanding, “Duo Duo will definitely obediently wait for Daddy to return!”
As she spoke, the little girl broke free from Xia Luobing’s embrace and pounced towards Gao Yi’an, shouting excitedly, “Uncle Gao, Duo Duo has a daddy!”
Gao Yi’an held Duo Duo in his arms. Seeing Xia Luobing’s bitter smile, he hesitated for a moment and said, “Bing Bing, haven’t you been home to see Uncle Xia for a long time?”
He wasn’t sure if Xia Luobing knew about the Xia Clan’s current situation
“I’ve been busy with a case recently, so I haven’t been back in about two months.” Xia Luobing rubbed his head, his face full of exhaustion. He noticed that Gao Yi’an’s expression was not the same as usual, and his eyelids twitched. “What happened?”
Gao Yi’an would not ask such a question. Could it be that something had happened at home that she did not know about?
Gao Yi’an hesitated for a moment and said, “Uncle Xia’s company seems to have a capital problem. Many businesses are unable to turn around ...”
Charlotte’s heart sank. Looking at Gao Yi’an, she was almost certain that things would be worse than what Gao Yi’an had said. However, her father had never told her, so he was definitely afraid that she would worry.
“Stay with Duo Duo tonight. I’ll go home.” Xia Luobing picked up the car keys on the coffee table and hurriedly said. Her father’s health was no better than before. She was really worried that he would not be able to handle it alone.
Seeing Xia Luobing suddenly return, Xia Yan was very surprised. Wang Xiaoman greeted him as if he had seen a savior. “Bing Bing, you’re finally back. Our company is in trouble. You must think of a way.”
“Shut up!” Xia Yan looked at Wang Xiaoman reproachfully and said to Xia Luobing, “Bing Bing, why are you back? Isn’t it Duoduo’s birthday today? Dad prepared a birthday present for her. You can bring it over later ...”
After two months, Xia Yan’s temples had already been covered with sparks of white hair. He seemed to have aged ten years. Xia Luobing felt her eyes go sour and said slowly, “What’s wrong with the company?”
“Company ...”
Just as Wang Xiaoman was about to speak, Xia Yan glared at her and could only stand to the side unwillingly.
Xia Yan smiled at Xia Luobing, “Bing Bing, you don’t understand business. It’s normal for you to rise and fall. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Five years ago, his daughter had already sacrificed herself for the company once, so how could he let her worry about the company now that she was living alone with her children?
“Dad, what’s wrong with the company?” Xia Luobing said anxiously. Seeing that Xia Yan did not intend to tell her anything, she looked up at Wang Xiaoman and said, “What’s wrong with the company?”
Wang Xiaoman looked at Xia Yan angrily and said, “The company is going to close. Do you still want to hide it from Bing Bing?”
Although Xia Luobing was mentally prepared, hearing Wang Xiaoman’s words, she couldn’t help but be shocked, “Why is it so serious?”
“Bing Bing, after all these years of running the company, Dad is also tired. Let’s go bankrupt if we go bankrupt.” Xia Yan smiled, but if he looked carefully, he could see the dim and exhausted look in his eyes.
This was the company that he had run for his entire life. How could he bear to close down just like that?
Xia Luobing was silent for a moment and said, “Dad, is there a way to save the company?”
“No, we can’t plug such a large funding gap.” Xia Yan said.
“Bing Bing, go beg Feng Shuo. His Feng Corporation is at its peak. As long as he is willing to help, our company will not go bankrupt!” Wang Xiaoman anxiously said, “Alright, Bing Bing? You can’t just watch your father’s efforts be destroyed ...”
As she spoke, Wang Xiaoman’s eyes were already red. If the company really went bankrupt, wouldn’t she have to live a hard life? Thinking about it, she felt her heart was like a knife cutting through a knife, and tears were falling down her cheeks.
Xia Luobing fell silent. The current situation was very similar to five years ago, but was she really going to find Feng Shuo?
“Bing Bing, you don’t need to pay attention to this matter. Dad can handle it.” Xia Yan comforted softly, “As long as you and Duo Duo are fine, Dad will be at ease.”
Wang Xiaoman looked at Xia Luobing unwillingly, “Bing Bing, your father has been unable to eat and sleep for several days because of the company. If this continues, his body will collapse!”
Right now, Charlotte was the only hope to save the company. No matter what, she couldn’t let go.
Xia Luobing clenched her fingers and loosened them to look at the dispirited Xia Yan. He forced a smile and said, “Dad, I will think about this matter carefully. Don’t be too anxious.”
“Bing Bing, you” Xia Yan frowned and said guiltily, “You have sacrificed your happiness for the company, so don’t worry about it this time.”
Xia Luobing smiled at Xia Yan, then picked up her bag and walked out. The night breeze blew over coldly. She felt that her body was cold and her heart was cold.
Why did she still have to face the same problem after five years? If not for the five years in the middle, she would definitely choose to save the company without hesitation. However, it was different now. She already had a person in her heart, and she also had many flowers
Five years had passed, but Xia Luobing suddenly felt as if she had returned to her original spot ... No, this was not the original spot. She was no longer the Xia Luobing from five years ago.
But what should we do? Are you really going to find Feng Shuo?
For the past five years, Feng Shuo had always appeared in front of her through various opportunities. She had been angry and angry from the beginning until now. She was almost certain that as long as she spoke to Feng Shuo, he would definitely agree.
However, in her heart, there was a stubborn voice that said over and over again that she was unwilling, not willing at all
Xia Luobing drove aimlessly with heavy worries in her heart. He only realized that he hadn’t returned all night long when he noticed that the sky was bright. He smashed the steering wheel angrily and hurriedly pulled over to the side of the road to make a phone call. “Hey, Yi An, did she cry, Duo Duo Duo?”
Gao Yi’an looked at the sleeping girl and carefully left her room before saying, “Don’t worry, she’s very obedient. How is Uncle Xia’s company?”
“Very bad.” Xia Luobing leaned back on his seat and narrowed his eyes. He picked up the phone with one hand and gently rubbed his temples with the other. After a while, she continued, “But there will always be a solution. Don’t worry.”
Gao Yi’an recognized her tired voice and frowned. “Sorry, Bing Bing, I can’t help you.”
Although he already had more than a dozen stores in his hands, the funds in his hands were simply a drop in the bucket for the Xia Group’s funding gap. He had never hoped so urgently that he had a lot of money, so Bing Bing wouldn’t have to work so hard.
“Helping me take care of Duo Duo is already helping me!” Xia Luobing smiled and felt warm in her heart. No matter what, Gao Yi’an was still by her side. “Don’t worry, I will solve this matter.”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Luobing held her phone and hesitated for a while, hesitating whether to call Feng Shuo. At this moment, the black screen suddenly lit up. It was Feng Shuo’s phone.
“Bing Bing, let’s talk.”
At the window of the island cafe, Xia Luobing took a sip of warm coffee and looked at the spirited man opposite him. He raised his eyelids and said coldly, “Are you here to laugh at me?”
It was impossible for Feng Shuo not to know that the Xia Corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy, and his intention to meet her at this time was obvious.
“Bing Bing, I want to help you.” Feng Shuozheng said seriously.
“Help me?” Xia Luobing raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Shuo. He put down the coffee in his hand and said lightly, “But you have conditions.”
Feng Shuo’s face didn’t reveal any embarrassment. He took a sip of coffee and smiled, “Bing Bing, I’ve been waiting for you for so many years. Don’t tell me you still don’t believe my sincerity?”
Ever since he drove the Feng family away and renovated the house, Feng Shuo would spend two days every three or five days. Sometimes, he would encounter Xia Luobing, but Xia Luobing had always turned a blind eye to him, as if he was a stranger.
“I don’t believe it.” Xia Luobing said bluntly, “I can’t agree to your conditions!”
As long as she saw Feng Shuo, she would remember that five years ago, he had cheated her of her shares and caused Huo Yunqi to leave the United States without any news. She could not forgive him, let alone herself.
“Bing Bing, the Xia Corporation is in danger. Do you really want to see your father’s efforts destroyed?” Feng Shuo stared at Xia Luobing, his tone slow, but every word smashed into her heart like a heavy hammer. “Five years ago, you could marry Huo Yunqi for the company. Why can’t you be with me now?”
Back then, if Huo Yunqi hadn’t robbed him of his love, Xia Luobing would have become his wife. He had waited for this opportunity for five years, so he definitely couldn’t let it go.
“I don’t need Young Master Huo Yunqi in the slightest to have feelings for you, and I can give you more.”
Xia Luobing clenched her fingers tightly, and a thin layer of ice formed in her eyes, as if she wanted to stare at the two holes in the man’s body. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, “I won’t agree to you!”
