After dinner, Xia Luobing played games with the little one. Duoduo looked at Xia Luobing and then turned to Gao Yi'an. She grabbed Xia Luobing's arm and said with a sweet voice: "Mommy, Uncle Gao is Daddy?"
Children in kindergarten say that their daddy will take them to eat delicious food, buy them toys, and hold them... But Uncle Gao is doing these things, so is he her daddy
The atmosphere became awkward. Gao Yian gently pinched the little girl's soft cheeks and said with a smile, "Why do you ask Duoduo like this?"
Duoduo scratched her hair, thought about it and said seriously: "Because other children have daddies."
After saying that, the little girl lowered her head in frustration and murmured: Uncle Gao is not daddy, because Uncle Gao does not live with us. "
Xia Luobing's eyes were filled with sadness. She always felt that her daughter was still young and she could wait until she grew up to tell her these things. Unexpectedly, the little child already had something on her mind.
"Baby, can you listen to Mommy's explanation?" Xia Luobing gently picked up her daughter and sat on the sofa, saying softly, "Actually, you also have a father, but that person is not Uncle Gao, he is just like Uncle Gao. I love you very much."
It's just that he doesn't know your existence, Xia Luobing said silently in his heart.
Duoduo widened her beautiful eyes and said happily: "Really? Where is he now? Why never comes back to see Duoduo? Doesn't he miss Duoduo and mommy?"
The question raised by the childish voice left Xia Luobing speechless. After a long while, he explained softly: "Daddy is on a business trip to do a job that takes a long time to complete. He will be back when he finishes the job." Look at Duoduo, if Duoduo behaves better, daddy will come back soon..."
Duoduo nodded sensibly: "Duoduo will wait for daddy to come back!"
With that said, the little girl broke away from Xia Luobing's arms and rushed towards Gao Yi'an, shouting excitedly: "Uncle Gao, Duoduo has a daddy!"
Gao Yian hugged Duoduo into his arms. Seeing Xia Luobing's wry smile, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Bingbing, have you not gone home to visit Uncle Xia for a long time?"
He was not sure whether Xia Luobing knew the current situation of the Xia family...
"I have been busy with a case recently, so I haven't been back for about two months." Xia Luobing rubbed his head with a tired look on his face. He noticed that the expression on Gao Yi'an's face was different from usual, and his eyelids twitched, " what happened?"
Sure enough, Gao Yian wouldn't ask this. Could it be that something happened at home that she didn't know about
Gao Yian hesitated and said: "Uncle Xia's company seems to have financial problems, and many businesses cannot be turned over..."
Xia Luobing's heart sank and she looked at Gao Yi'an, almost certain that the matter must be worse than what Gao Yi'an said, but her father never told her because he was definitely afraid that she would worry.
"You stay with Duoduo tonight while I go home." Xia Luobing picked up the car keys on the coffee table and said hurriedly. Her father's health was not as good as it was back then, and she was really worried that he couldn't bear it alone.
Xia Yan was surprised to see Xia Luobing come back suddenly. Wang Xiaoman came up to him as if he had seen a savior: "Bingbing, you are finally back. Our company is in trouble. You must think about it." Method."
"Shut up!" Xia Yan glanced reproachfully at Wang Xiaoman and then at Xia Luobing, "Bingbing, why are you back? Isn't it Duoduo's birthday today? Dad has prepared a birthday gift for her. You can take it later..."
After not seeing each other for two months, Xia Yan had already started to have white hair on his temples. He seemed to have aged ten years. Xia Luobing felt his eyes were sore and said slowly, "What's wrong with the company?"
"company… "
Wang Xiaoman was about to speak, but Xia Yan glared at him, so he could only shut up and stand aside unwillingly.
Xia Yan smiled at Xia Luobing: "Bingbing, you don't understand business matters. Ups and downs are normal, so you don't need to take it to heart."
Five years ago, his daughter had already sacrificed for the company once, so now that she was living alone with her child, how could he let her worry about the company again.
"Dad, what happened to the company?" Xia Luobing asked anxiously. Seeing that Xia Yan had no intention of telling her the matter, she looked up at Wang Xiaoman and asked, "What happened to the company?"
Wang Xiaoman glanced at Xia Yan angrily and said angrily: "The company is about to close down, do you still want to hide it from Bingbing?"
Although Xia Luobing was mentally prepared, she couldn't help being shocked when she heard what Wang Xiaoman said: "Why is it so serious?"
"Bingbing, my father is tired of running the company these years. If it goes bankrupt, just go bankrupt." Xia Yan said with a smile, but if you look closely, you can see the gloom and exhaustion in his eyes.
This is the company he has been running for his whole life, and if it goes bankrupt like this, how can he let it go
Xia Luobing was silent for a moment and said, "Dad, is there any way to save the company?"
"No, we can't close such a huge funding gap," Xia Yan said.
"Bingbing, please go and beg Feng Shuo. Now his Feng Group is in full swing. As long as he is willing to help, our company will not collapse!" Wang Xiaoman said anxiously, "Okay, Bingbing? You can't just watch. It’s so hard to watch your father’s hard work being ruined…”
As she said this, 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 like her heart was cut by a knife, and her tears really fell down.
Xia Luobing fell silent. The current situation was so similar to that of five years ago, but did she really want to find Feng Shuo
"Bingbing, you don't have to pay attention to this matter, dad can handle it." Xia Yan comforted softly, "As long as you and Duoduo are fine, dad will be relieved."
Wang Xiaoman looked at Xia Luobing unwillingly: "Bingbing, your father has been unable to eat or sleep for several days because of company matters. If this continues, his body will collapse!"
Now, Xia Luobing is the only hope to save the company. No matter what, she can't let go.
Xia Luobing clenched and unclenched her fingers and looked at Xia Yan, who was slumped. She forced a smile and said, "Dad, I will consider this matter carefully. Don't be too anxious."
"Bingbing, you..." Xia Yan frowned and said apologetically, "You have sacrificed your own 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 wind blew coldly, and she felt cold on her body and cold on her heart.
Why does she still have to face the same problem after five years? If there were not these five years in between, she would definitely choose to save the company without hesitation. But it is different now. A person has already lived in her heart, and She also has Duoduo...
Five years have passed, but Xia Luobing suddenly felt as if she had returned to the starting point... No, this is not the starting point. She is no longer the Xia Luobing she was five years ago.
But what to do? Do you really want to find Feng Shuo
In the past five years, Feng Shuo has always appeared in front of her through various opportunities. She has gone from being angry and resentful at the beginning to letting it go now. She is almost certain that as long as she speaks to Feng Shuo, he will definitely agree...
But there was a stubborn voice in her heart that said over and over again that she was unwilling, not willing at all...
Xia Luobing drove aimlessly with heavy thoughts on her mind. She didn't realize until it was getting brighter that she suddenly realized that she hadn't gone back all night. She smashed the steering wheel angrily and quickly parked the car on the side of the road and called, "Hey , Yi'an, Duoduo, is she crying?"
Gao Yian looked at the sleeping little girl and carefully exited her room before saying, "Don't worry, she is very good. How is Uncle Xia's company?"
"It's very bad." Xia Luobing leaned on the seat and squinted his eyes. He answered the phone with one hand and gently rubbed his temple with the other hand. After a while, he continued, "But there will always be a way to solve it. , just don’t worry.”
Gao Yian could hear that her voice was tired, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Bingbing, I can't help you."
Although the store in his hand has opened more than a dozen chain stores, the funds in his hand are simply a drop in the bucket for the Xia Group's funding gap. He has never been so eager to have a lot of money as he is now. It won't be so hard.
"You are already helping me by taking care of Duoduo!" Xia Luobing smiled, feeling warm in her heart. No matter what, Gao Yian, a friend, will always be by her side, "Don't worry, I will Solve this matter.”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Luobing held the phone and hesitated again and again, hesitating whether to call Feng Shuo. At this moment, the black screen suddenly lit up and it was Feng Shuo's phone number.
"Bingbing, let's talk."
Sitting next to the window of Shangdao Cafe, Xia Luobing took a sip of warm coffee and looked at the high-spirited man opposite, raised her eyelids and said coldly, "Are you here to see my joke?"
It was impossible for Feng Shuo not to know about such a big thing as the Xia Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, and his intention to ask her to meet at this time was obvious.
"Bingbing, I want to help you." Feng Shuo straightened his face and said seriously.
"Help me?" Xia Luobing raised an eyebrow and looked at Feng Shuo, put down the coffee in his hand, and said calmly, "But you have conditions."
There was no trace of embarrassment on Feng Shuo's face. He took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "Bingbing, I've been waiting for you for so many years. Don't you still believe in my sincerity?"
Since driving Feng Yuanfei's family away, Feng Shuo renovated the house and would stay there for two days every now and then. Sometimes he would meet Xia Luobing, but Xia Luobing always turned a blind eye to him, like a stranger. stranger.
"I don't believe it." Xia Luobing said bluntly, "I can't possibly agree to your conditions!"
As long as she sees Feng Shuo, she will remember that five years ago, he defrauded her of the shares and Huo Yunqi left the United States without any news. She can't forgive him, let alone herself.
"Bingbing, the Xia Group is in danger. Do you really want to see your father's hard work destroyed?" Feng Shuo stared at Xia Luobing, his tone was slow, but every word hit her like a heavy hammer. In my heart, "Five years ago, you could marry Huo Yunqi for the company, why can't you be with me now?"
If Huo Yunqi hadn't fought for her love, Xia Luobing would have become his wife long ago. He had been waiting for this opportunity for five years and would never let it go.
"My feelings for you don't need to be less than Huo Yunqi's, and I can give you more."
Xia Luobing clenched her fingers tightly, a thin layer of ice formed in her eyes, as if she was trying to poke two holes in the man opposite him, and finally gritted her teeth: "I won't promise you!"
