What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

The investigation into the Yun City project proceeded quietly.

On Huo Xiaozheng's side, the public relations company had moderately controlled the public opinion.

They managed to maintain the buzz around the Yun City project while preventing the Huo Corporation's stock price from falling too drastically.

Old Mr. Qin watched with great satisfaction as Huo Corporation's stock turned green.

"You young upstart, you dare to challenge me!" he thought smugly.

With this small taste of victory, he completely disregarded his son-in-law's warnings.

Not only did he not back down, but he intensified his efforts to manipulate the situation.

However, Jiang Suyuan could no longer concern himself with these matters.

The funding for Country A was urgently needed, and the Qin family was no longer in a position to invest in him.

At this point, hoping for a massive influx of funds was almost a pipe dream.

Considering that Qin Zhiyi was still pregnant and her emotions had been unstable due to the situation with Huo Xiaozheng,

Jiang Suyuan decided not to discuss these issues with her.

She remained completely unaware of Old Mr. Qin's actions.

As for the news about Huo Xiaozheng, she was indifferent, even feeling that someone had taken revenge on her behalf.

She never connected Huo Xiaozheng with her father's actions.

Noticing that Jiang Suyuan was coming home later and later, with an increasingly anxious expression,

Qin Zhiyi finally realized that he must be facing some difficult problem.

"Suyuan, tell me the truth, what's really going on?" Qin Zhiyi asked firmly.

Jiang Suyuan didn't dare to reveal everything, only mentioning that the company was facing cash flow difficulties.

There were only three days left, and if the funds couldn't be secured,

Not only would the project in Country A fail, but the company would also face enormous penalties for breach of contract.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, he was at his wit's end.

Qin Zhiyi asked, puzzled, "Didn't my father promise to invest?"

Unable to admit he had argued with his father-in-law, Jiang Suyuan lied through gritted teeth, "Yes, but something came up unexpectedly. Your father said the funds won't be available for at least a week."

Qin Zhiyi pouted, adopting a childish demeanor, and pulled out her phone to call her father.

Jiang Suyuan gently stopped her.

"If your father said so, he must have his reasons. We shouldn't push him too hard."

Qin Zhiyi sulked, "No matter how difficult it is, he can't just abandon us."

"No, I still need to—"

As they were at an impasse, Aunt suddenly approached, saying a guest had arrived.

Jiang Suyuan calmed Qin Zhiyi and went to the living room.

Seeing the visitor, Jiang Suyuan was surprised.

"Lin Chuxu? What brings you here?"

The man called Lin Chuxu was dressed casually, his almond-shaped eyes sparkling with charm. When he smiled, he exuded an air of debonair elegance.
