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.

Yu Tian noticed that after starting the engine.

“Is something wrong?”

“This is my first time riding such a car.”

Xiao Yun confessed even though she felt embarrassed.

“Then you need to get used to it.”

“Huh?”

The young woman was perplexed.

“You’re my secretary. I’ll definitely have to bring you along to future business meetings.”

Xiao Yun suddenly lowered her head upon thinking that she might have plenty of chances to go out with Yu Tian in the future.

Shortly after, her family issue popped into her mind again. The young woman was filled with despair. She turned to look at Yu Tian.

“President Yu, you should probably leave after dropping me off. Don’t get yourself involved. There are some really horrible people.”

“Don’t worry. I said that I’ll help and that’s what I’m going to do.”

Xiao Yun was entranced by the confidence shining in his eyes.

She asked, “President Yu, why are you so nice to me?”

“I’ve just got a pretty secretary and I don’t want to lose her so quickly.”

He chuckled before driving the car.

Xiao Yun looked at the young man with a dazed expression.

‘Just a secretary?’

She thought to herself.

Meihua Street.

Soon, Yu Tian arrived at their destination with the help of the GPS. He was surprised to find himself in an old and poor neighborhood.

It reminded him of his own past. He could not help but relate to Xiao Yun’s situation.

“Where should I park the car?” he asked.

Under the young woman’s guidance, he drove his car into one of the small houses.

As they got closer to her house, Xiao Yun suddenly turned to Yu Tian and said, “President Yu, why don’t you wait for me outside?”

“Why?”

After a brief hesitation, she said in a concerned tone, “I’m afraid that my dad will act violently towards you. He loses his temper whenever he drinks. My mother had been beaten severely multiple times.”

Yu Tian’s expression instantly darkened. He did not like men who get themself intoxicated or beat up women.

In his opinion, these types of people were equivalent to incurable trash.

“Trust me. I’ll sort things out for you.”

He got out of the car and knocked on the door.

Xiao Yun followed closely. The door opened to reveal a middle-aged man. He had red eyes and reeked of alcohol.

This man was Xiao Yun’s father – Xiao Aichu.

“Who are you?”

The middle-aged man looked at Yu Tian with a confused expression. He was certain he had not met this person before.

The young woman introduced, “Dad, this is my boss, President Yu.”

“President Yu?”

Aichu shifted his gaze from his daughter to Yu Tian. Then, his eyes landed on the Continental GT parked outside of their house.

Immediately, his eyes widened a little.

This person must be rich. The fact that he could afford to drive a car like that was enough proof.

“Hi, President Yu. Please, come in and have a seat.”

A flattering smile was plastered across his previously tense face. The middle-aged man even reached out to grab Yu Tian’s arm.

Xiao Yun promptly stood forward and said coldly, “Dad, did you hit mom again?!”

She only asked because her mother did not come out to greet them.

“Your mother is such a bearer of ill luck. I wouldn’t end up like this if it wasn’t for her. She deserves a good beating.”

“You’re not a man.”

Yu Tian interrupted..
