For some reason, Father Shen seemed quite spirited last night, but today he appeared to have aged several years all at once.
"Xiaoruo, this time, it's a real disaster."
The gravity in Father Shen's words gave Shen Ruo an ominous premonition.
"Dad, don't panic, sit down and take your time to explain." Helping Father Shen to sit down in a chair, Shen Ruo had already braced herself mentally.
With a sigh, Father Shen began to speak slowly, "The investment was going well, the stocks were fine. I was planning to borrow money to gather fifty million. But this morning, the stocks suddenly fell, plummeting to the bottom... Now no one is willing to lend me money... Xiaoruo, do you understand? If this fails... it would mean complete bankruptcy... Your mother found out the truth, and her worry triggered her illness..."
Shen Ruo felt her head boom, and her mind went blank.
"Dad... Didn't you say that cooperating with the Gu Family this time would surely be a success?"
