What's the point of apologizing? Even if Jin Han kneels down and kowtows to us now, it will be useless. The impact that has been caused cannot be changed.
I won't expect Jin Han to apologize in any way. I just think that my dad is a bit stubborn and it is a very unwise choice to remain in a stalemate here.
"Dad, stop making trouble!" In anger, I became a little tougher on my dad, because this is Jin Han's territory, and I can't lose my temper with him, otherwise we will make things worse.
Assistant Fang’s reminder just now is indeed very reasonable.
"Yiyi, you-" My dad probably didn't expect that I was not on the same side as him, but thought he was making trouble, and he looked disappointed for a moment.
"Dad, let's go back first. It will only make things more difficult for us if this continues." I had no choice but to whisper in my dad's ear, hoping that he would listen to me and go back first before discussing these matters.
My dad had a lump in his throat and seemed to be hesitating to speak. Under Jin Han's cold gaze, he could only sigh heavily and spit out one word hatefully, "Let's go!"
I breathed a sigh of relief and didn't even look at Jin Han anymore. I immediately pulled my dad and left quickly. I wouldn't feel comfortable staying in this place for another second.
When I held my dad's hand and walked out of the office, Assistant Fang stood up and walked towards us, opened the elevator for us, swiped the card and watched us enter the elevator.
As the elevator door slowly closed, I felt sweat dripping from my forehead. At the same time, I explained to my dad, "Dad, I didn't mean to hurt you just now. I didn't want you to continue to have a stalemate with Jin Han, right?" We do more harm than good.”
"I'm just annoyed. Why did Jin Han do this? Our family raised a daughter for him, and she was his wife for five years, and she was treated harshly by him. This is because he is sorry for you. If he doesn't feel guilty, forget it. Now he's adding insult to injury and teasing us. If I weren't worried about you two, I would have risked my life today to teach him a lesson!" My dad clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
He has been in officialdom for decades, and others think he is like an old fox. But in my heart, he is just an old man who devotes all his affection to his family.
So I can actually understand his emotions, but I can't let him continue to be so impulsive.
"Dad, the most important thing now is my mother's health. As long as you two are safe, I've thought about it. If the company really can't save it, we will give up. I don't want to see you two at such an old age. We are under so much pressure, as long as our family of three can be together." I held my dad's arm and tried to force out a smile.
"But Yiyi, your mother and I don't want this. We want you to live the life you want without any pressure, you know?" My dad said, sighing deeply.
I felt guilty. They had been working hard for me, but I seemed to be a useless daughter.
I didn't speak, I just leaned my head quietly on my dad's shoulder, feeling the time I could spend with him at this moment. When the elevator door opened, I let go of my dad's hand and walked out together.
Unexpectedly, as soon as we arrived at the gate, we saw Nan Yu coming in a hurry. She was alone and hurriedly walked toward us. When she saw our father and daughter, she also stopped.
"Why are you here?" Nan Yu asked proactively, with some doubt and repulsion in his tone.
"Humph." My dad snorted coldly, without letting me answer, and just took my hand and left.
Nan Yu looked back at the two of us, his gaze was like a blade, and I felt uncomfortable.
After Xiao Li saw that my dad and I were back safe and sound, Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the car door for us and waited silently for us to get in the car.
If my family really went bankrupt, then Xiao Li would definitely have to be fired, and there would be no way to keep him. I suddenly felt a little sad.

When I got home, my dad sat dejectedly on the sofa and said nothing.
I went to the kitchen and heated up some food for him to eat. The servant had already gone to bed. There were only two of us, father and daughter, in the living room, and the atmosphere was very quiet and silent.
"Dad, eat something first." I placed the food in front of my dad and said softly.
"How is your mother?" My father suddenly asked this question again without eating.
"Her operation was successful, but she still needs to be hospitalized for a while to recover well. Don't worry." I comforted him again, just because I was afraid that he would have random thoughts at this critical moment.
My dad nodded, took two bites of the food, and then put it down again. His eyes turned a little red, "If she knew about the company and knew that Jin Han was teasing us, I'm afraid..."
He didn't tell me everything, but I knew what he meant, because this was also an issue I was worried about.
The two of us sat in silence for a while. Finally, my dad went upstairs to rest without even taking a bite of his meal. I didn't persuade him, I just put away the dishes and returned to my room.
