Chapter 21 – This Family, I Will Protect (Part Five)

“Yunxi, are you okay?”

Ye Junpo struggled over and carefully cupped her face, examining her with concern.

“I’m fine.”

She was fine, but her hand hurt like hell!!

Although her stamina had improved, this body was still quite fragile. It seemed it would take some time to train it back to her previous iron-like resilience.

“Brother, the first aid kit.”

“Okay!”

After Ye Yunji left, Ye Yunxi frowned and asked, “Dad, how much money did you borrow?”

Ye Junpo stiffened slightly, scratching his cheek: “2.6 million.”

“Where’s the money?”

“It’s all… all invested in the film production. Renting locations, buying equipment, and hiring people…”

Ye Junpo cautiously watched his daughter’s face. Seeing her expressionless, he couldn’t help but worry. He burst into tears: “Yunxi, Dad was wrong this time. I won’t make films anymore, never again.”

Ye Yunxi looked at this deeply remorseful middle-aged man and comforted him: “Dad, what did you tell Grandpa when you left the Main Family Residence back then?”

Ye Junpo was taken aback, lowering his head and gritting his teeth.

He had told his father that if he didn’t become a famous director, he would never return to the Ye Family!

“No one says adults can’t pursue their dreams.”

Ye Yunxi smiled slightly, her beautiful face radiant with spirit.

“Dad, let’s start over, taking it step by step, okay?”

You can’t become fat in one bite. Dad suffered from being too impatient, wanting to create a masterpiece with his first film, which made him an easy target for scammers.

It wasn’t Dad who was despicable, but those who exploited his mentality to set traps deliberately.

Moreover, this person was someone close to her…

Ye Yunxi snorted coldly. To put it bluntly, they just wanted the Ye Family’s main inheritance rights.

“Step by step?”

“Yes, step by step!”

[Ding! Prestige +10!]

Ye Junpo was actually moved. He stared fixedly at his daughter, feeling a long-lost warmth rising in his heart.

My daughter is so considerate, isn’t she!

Ye Junpo’s eyes instantly transformed into two sparkling stars, twinkling incessantly!

“First aid kit!”

Ye Yunji handed over the first aid kit, noticing that his father’s mood seemed different.

“Why are you so happy?”

“Because, your dad is planning to take things step by step! Having a daughter is wonderful, Dad is so happy, hahaha!”

Ye Yunji: ……..

Although he really didn’t want to dampen his father’s spirits…

“How are we going to repay the monthly 100,000 debt?”

Dad, with your meager monthly income, you probably can’t even cover the interest, right?

Ye Junpo froze, then turned to stone, cracking…

He had actually forgotten about the debt!!!

“Don’t worry, Dad. Go cancel the venue and equipment rentals, dismiss the crew, and get back whatever money you can to repay the debt.”

“What if it’s still not enough?”

Ye Yunxi smoothed her long hair, revealing her fair, pink ears. She calmly and indifferently gazed into the distance, her eyes showing no trace of difficulty or fear, only full of openness and integrity.

“If it’s not enough, we’ll find another way. How can we be defeated by such a small difficulty?”

It’s just debt. Although two million isn’t small, it’s not insurmountable. She had experienced brutal wars—in her view, anything short of life and death wasn’t a big deal!

[Ding! Prestige +10!]

“Right, we’ll find another way!”

Infected by her confidence, Ye Yunji couldn’t help but feel happy too: “Dad, I’ll try to find a part-time job. There’s always a way!”Even Ye Junpo couldn’t help but tear up, thinking that his life would end today. But his daughter was right—how could they be defeated by such minor difficulties?

Moreover, was he not a man?

He had to pull himself together even more than his daughter!!
