Chapter 21
“Yunxi, are you alright?”
Ye Junpo struggled his way over to her and took her face carefully in his hand, examining her anxiously.
“I’m alright.”
She was, but her hand hurt like hell!
Although Physical strength had been added, her skin was still delicate. It would take some time for her to get back to that body of steel she once had.
“Big Brother, the first aid kit.”
“Sure!”
It was only after Ye Yunji left that Ye Yunxi frowned and asked her father, “Dad, how much did you borrow?”
Ye Junpo froze for a moment, and then, scratching his face, he replied, “2.6 million.”
“And where’s the money?”
“It… it has all been channeled into the filming… rental of space, buying equipment, hiring staff…”
Ye Junpo observed his daughter’s face carefully. Seeing that she was expressionless, he became inevitably worried. He cried, “Yunxi, Dad’s made a mistake this time around. I won’t film anymore, I won’t film anymore.”
Ye Yunxi noticed how remorseful the middle-aged man looked and comforted him, “Dad, what did you tell Grandpa when you left the clan?”
Ye Junpo paused. He lowered his head and clenched his jaw.
He had told his father that if he didn’t become a famous director, he’d never return to the Ye family!
“No one made it a rule that adults are not permitted to chase their dreams.”
Ye Yunxi smiled gently, her dazzling face bright and spirited.
“Dad, let’s start from scratch, and we’ll take one step at a time, okay?”
“Rome wasn’t built in a day. Dad was too eager and wanted to gain success with one film. That was how he was conned.”
It wasn’t her father who was despicable, it was the person who took advantage of his weakness and used it to trip him up on purpose.
Furthermore, this was a person who was close to her…
Ye Yunxi gave a snorting laugh. All it came down to was that desire to become the successor of the Ye family headship.
“One step at a time?”
“That’s right, one step at a time!”
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
Ye Junpo was moved. He looked at his daughter steadily, feeling a sort of warmth he hadn’t felt in a long time.
What a considerate and caring daughter!
His eyes instantly started to glisten like two clusters of stars, and they wouldn’t stop sparkling!
“The first aid kit!”
As Ye Yunji handed the first aid box over, he realized the change in his father’s mood.
“Why are you so happy?”
“Because your Dad has decided to take it a step at a time! It’s great to have a daughter! Dad is just happy, hahaha!”
Ye Yunji was speechless.
Although she really didn’t wish to cause her old Dad further upset…
“How are we going to repay the monthly debt of a hundred thousand?”
“Dad, if we depended on your thin earnings, I don’t suppose it could even make up a fraction of that amount.”
Ye Junpo froze and instantly felt as though he had fossilized and cracked into pieces…
He had forgotten there was still a debt to be paid!!!
“Don’t panic, Dad! Return the equipment you bought and let the staff go. Get back whatever money you can and repay the debt.”
“What if there isn’t enough?”
Ye Yunxi combed her fingers through her hair, revealing a tender and pale ear in the process. She stared into the distance calmly, looking completely untroubled and unfazed. She was like an open book.
“We’ll think of something if we don’t have enough. We won’t be defeated by a small matter like this.”
It was just a debt. Although two million wasn’t a small sum, it wasn’t as if they couldn’t get past it. Ye Yunxi was someone who had experienced the cruelty of war. Hence, from her perspective, anything that wasn’t a matter of life and death was no big deal!
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
“Right, let’s think of a solution!”
Under her influence, Ye Yunji found his own mood lightening up. “Dad, let me try getting a part-time job. We will find a way!”
Even Ye Junpo found himself tearing uncontrollably. He had thought that his life would come to an end today, but his precious daughter was right. How could they be defeated by a small hiccup?
Besides, wasn’t he a man?
He had to be stronger than his daughter!
