Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Tian was a completely different person compared to several days ago.

Chu Qing was admittedly touched when he defeated the eleven strong men for her.

After that, the young man headed back to the company whereas Chu Qing left to sort out her personal affairs.

While walking toward his office, Yu Tian thought of calling the representatives from Li corporation to continue discussing the game project.

Upon reaching the stairway corridor, he heard a faint sob.

It was lunchtime so most of the employees were away.

The soft sobbing sounded especially loud in the quiet space.

Yu Tian’s curiosity was piqued. He tried to eavesdrop.

…

“Okay, I’ll head home after work. It’ll be in the evening. I don’t have the money on such short notice, but I’ll come up with something.”

The voice belonged to Xiao Yun!

Yu Tian was taken aback.

He thought to himself, ‘Why was she crying all by herself? Who was she talking to?’

The young man became more curious and approached the stairs.

Xiao Yun, who had just hung up her phone, turned around and noticed the young man walking towards her.

Her heart skipped a beat because she was surprised.

However, the shock on her face gradually faded when she realized it was only Yu Tian.

She immediately dabbed the corners of her eyes with her sleeves before smiling at him.

“President Yu.”

“What’s the matter?” he asked.

The young woman quickly shook her head. No words came out from her lips.

“You’re my employee. If possible, I’ll lend you a hand.”

“President Yu, it’s really nothing. One of my family members fell sick. That’s why I was crying. It’s no big deal.”

Xiao Yun replied. There was a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Naturally, Yu Tian caught on. Hence, he smiled softly and looked at the young woman gently.

“I don’t like it when someone lies to me.”

Xiao Yun felt a shudder. She finally confessed through her gritted teeth after looking at the young man’s determined gaze.

“My dad got into a huge debt after gambling. The loan sharks are currently at our place, demanding to take ownership of our house. However, our house is probably only worth half a million yuan at the most. My mother said that the loan sharks are going to sell me to the brothel. I don’t know what to do…”

Tears began rolling out of her eyes as she spoke.

Yu Tian frowned upon hearing that.

“Those people are being unreasonable. How could they do something like this in this time and age? Anyway, stop crying. I’ll help you sort this out.”

“President Yu, I can handle this myself.”

Xiao Yun did not want Yu Tian to get involved. After all, this was her private family matter. Furthermore, she had only recently joined the company.

The loan sharks were not kind people. She would definitely feel guilty if he was to get into trouble because of her.

“That’s nonsense. Where’s your house?”

Yu Tian demanded sternly.

“Um… Meihua Street.”

“Let’s go.”

The young man started to walk away.

Xiao Yun had a confused look on her face.

“But… I need to get back to work at one o’clock.”

She glanced at her watch. It would be one in just five minutes.

“I’ll make a quick phone call to Old Xu.”

Yu Tian’s voice echoed in the empty corridor.

Xiao Yun hastily followed the young man from behind after hearing that. Obviously, she was anxious about what had happened at home

Upon leaving the office, Yu Tian led the young woman to the parking lot. They got into the Continental GT instantly.

It was Xiao Yun’s first time being in the passenger seat of such a luxurious car. She was unable to relax.
