‘Go abroad?’

Yu Jinmo was completely stunned.

She understood her father’s painstaking efforts.

She knew that her father wanted to prevent her from being affected, but she could not accept such an arrangement.

“No, Dad, I don’t want to go abroad.”

Her father was already so old, how could she bear to leave him alone to bear all the pressure and pain by himself?

Moreover, the relationship between her and Lin Bai had just begun. If she went abroad now, it would mean that the relationship would end without a hitch.

She couldn’t bear to leave.

Whether it was her father or Lin Bai, she couldn’t bear to part with either of them.

Yu Jianhao sighed and said, “Silly daughter, if you go abroad now, you can at least guarantee that your food, clothing, and accommodation won’t be much worse than before.”

“But if you don’t leave, all the money on the books will be used to pay off your debts when the company goes bankrupt and liquidates. All the real estate properties and cars will be auctioned off. Then, Daddy won’t be able to give you this kind of life anymore...”

“Be good, be obedient. While Daddy still has the ability, hurry up and leave. You can choose whichever country you want to go to.”

Yu Jinmo shook her head with tears streaming down her face.

“No, I’m not going anywhere. I want to stay by your side. Even if I have to eat food of poor quality, I want to accompany you every day!”

Hearing his daughter’s words, Yu Jianhao’s eyes reddened.

He held back his tears and said with a smile, “You silly child, no matter what I do, I won’t let you suffer. We’re not in such dire straits yet.”

Yu Jinmo wiped her tears and said, “So, then I have to stay by your side even more.”

“Moreover, I believe that there’s always a way out. As long as we don’t give up, there will definitely be a turn for the better!”

Yu Jianhao nodded. “Yes, you’re right. God won’t force us into a dead end.”

Perhaps Yu Jinmo’s words had helped Yu Jianhao regain his confidence, or perhaps he was unwilling to let his daughter fall with him.

After this conversation, Yu Jianhao regained his spirits and actively thought of ways to raise funds.

However, the network of relationships in S city was complicated. The people he could think of to ask for help were all more or less connected to the Wang family.

The Wang family had already made it clear, so who would dare to help him?

On one side was the Yu Corporation, which was on the verge of collapse. On the other side was the Wang family, which was on the rise and had connections with the big shots in the capital circle.

Even a fool would know which side to take. Yu Jianhao’s final struggle did not have any effect. He was just being rebuffed all the time.

In front of Yu Jinmo, Yu Jianhao still had to force himself to be driven and optimistic so that his daughter would not see his dejection.

However, every night, stress and anxiety would overwhelm him like a tidal wave, making him toss and turn, unable to sleep.

Despite Yu Jianhao’s efforts to hide it, Yu Jinmo could still see the clues from her father’s increasingly tired expression and the growing white hair on his temples.

She knew that the fund raising was not going smoothly and the crisis of the Yu Corporation was still not resolved.

In order not to increase the pressure on her father, Yu Jinmo still pretended to be optimistic and tried her best to maintain a positive attitude in front of her father.

Even when she spoke to Lin Bai everyday, Yu Jinmo also tried her best to remain happy because she did not want Lin Bai to slip into a negative mood with her.

However, when she was alone, the intense anxiety would almost swallow her whole.

Time slowly passed in despair. The Yu Corporation was already at the end of its tether and was about to collapse.

At the most desperate moment, Yu Jianhao suddenly received a strange friend request on his WeChat.

The other party’s username was only the letter ‘A’, and his profile picture was a pure black picture. There were no words or photos on his moments.

The owner of this account seemed to be deliberately hiding himself, trying his best to avoid revealing any information related to him.

In the friend request he sent, there was only one sentence —

“I can help you.”

If it were any other time, Yu Jianhao would not have paid attention to the friend request from an account that could not be identified.

But now that he had nowhere else to go, even if it was a slim hope, he wanted to hold on to it.

With strong expectations, Yu Jianhao accepted the friend request and took the initiative to send a message to the other party.

“Hello, May I ask who you are...”

The mysterious a quickly replied, “It doesn’t matter who I am.”

“What’s important is that I can lend you money.”

Yu Jianhao was so excited that his heart was pounding. Even his fingers that were typing were slightly trembling.

“Really? Then how much interest do I have to pay? Or do you have any additional conditions?”

Yu Jianhao had been in the business world for most of his life, and he knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Mr. A replied, “No additional conditions, you just need to pay an interest of 10%.”

Yu Jianhao couldn’t believe his eyes.

Compared to the loan sharks outside, the mysterious man was practically doing charity by offering him a 10% interest rate!

Moreover, with his current situation, even the loan sharks weren’t willing to lend him the money.

Not only was Mr. A willing to give him a loan, but he also only asked for such a small amount of interest. Yu Jianhao was so grateful that he didn’t know what to do.

“Mr. A, thank you so much! You are my savior!”

“I, Yu Jianhao, will always remember your kindness!”

In the dormitory, Lin Bai held his phone and looked at the messages that Yu Jianhao sent him. He couldn’t help but smile.

Then, he quickly tapped on the screen with his fingertips. As Mr. A, he replied indifferently, “It’s just a small favor.”

Yu Jianhao felt that Mr. A was his benefactor.

After some consideration, he carefully asked, “May I ask if we know each other? Why are you willing to help me?”

Lin Bai was stumped by this question.

He couldn’t answer, “Because you’re my future father-in-law, right?”?

For various reasons, Lin Bai didn’t want Yu Jianhao and his daughter to know that he was already a billionaire.

After all, there was no way to explain how he earned his first pot of gold and how he managed to increase his net worth by a hundredfold in just a few days.

Rather than letting them know now and raising all sorts of suspicions, it would be better to hide it for now and get along with each other as best they could.

However, Yu Jianhao would probably not believe it if he said that he had never met anyone and that he only offered help on a whim.

He might even doubt his own intentions and not dare to accept the funds that he had provided. That would also be very troublesome.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Bai finally came up with a more suitable answer.

“It was your son-in-law-to-be who insisted that I help you. I only helped you out of respect for him.”

“That kid has good investment foresight. He is cut out to be an investor.”

“Of course, you also have a good eye for selecting such a kid with good potential.
