Passion

Yun Xi was perplexed. She had thought that her father would have figured out a method to patch up the problem. Who would have thought that he would shamelessly approach Mu Feichi for help at the very first sign of trouble?

"Where did he get the confidence that you would help him? Isn't he afraid of provoking you?"

"A beggar can never be bankrupt. He has nothing to fear. Besides, I trust your dad's intellect. He knows why he was given his position. He knew that it had something to do with me, and he thinks maybe he can help me out too some day, and that's why he uses it as leverage. It definitely takes a few tricks to have remained in his good posting as the vice president of the Urban Development Board for so many years, don't you think?"

He knew that Yun Xi had spent a long time in the countryside. She might not know her father very well and perhaps she had underestimated his abilities.
