Patriarch Paravi only felt a headache. Recently, because of Tina’s matter, the family had been criticizing him as the patriarch. Some people even said that he was not worthy of being the patriarch.
Although he doted on his daughter, the patriarch of the Paravi family loved himself more. He could not care less about Tina’s mood and locked her up. There were three shifts of people taking turns to watch over her every day to ensure that she would not escape.
Seeing that the matter was about to pass, he did not expect such news again.
Patriarch Palavi was really about to faint from anger. He said angrily, “Investigate who posted this news. Our family didn’t say anything. What right does this person have to post this video?”
The eldest son said, “Dad, of course we have to investigate, but the most important thing now is to resolve this matter. Otherwise, the Jiang family will definitely not let this matter rest.”
“What should we do?” Patriarch Palavi asked.
The eldest son thought for a moment. “In the end, this matter is about Tina. As long as the news gets out that it was Tina who made the first move, it will be easily resolved.”
This was indeed the most effective method. Moreover, the patriarch of the Palavi family was no longer going to still let Tina be an actress. It was good to cut off her escape route.
“Not only do we have to let people know that it was Tina who did it, our family has to publicly apologize to Jiang An and announce that Tina will withdraw from the entertainment industry,” the patriarch of the Palavi family said.
The eldest son did not expect him to be so decisive. After hearing this, he was stunned for two seconds before immediately doing this.
Tina was becoming more and more unstable. After being locked up, she had to make a scene every day. Everyone in the family was used to it.
Her second son had been coveting the shares in her hands. After thinking about it, he had a crooked idea. He secretly sneaked into Tina’s room and stuffed a note into it to tell her the latest news about Jiang Huai.
Tina took the note as if it were a lifeline. She didn’t know who had slipped it in, but she understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Someone had to want something from her.
She was not in a hurry. She waited quietly for the other party to come looking for her. Perhaps she could use the other party to escape.
The Palavi family was writing the announcement that they were going to make. They repeatedly worded it to ensure that there was no ambiguity.
In Sea City, Si Cheng was already living a life worse than death. He had used all his assets to start a company, so he didn’t have any money to turn around.
The people around him tempted him to borrow money from loan sharks. They said that as long as he paid it back immediately, the ridiculously high interest would not be much. At most, he would pay back tens of thousands more.
Si Cheng believed these people. Moreover, seeing that the company was about to get on the right track, tens of thousands of yuan was nothing at all, so he went to the agency to write an IOU.
However, something happened to the company as soon as the money was in his hands. He needed a large amount of money to make up for the shortfall. The money he borrowed was far from enough, let alone enough to repay his loan later.
Just as he was in a terrible fix, the people from the lending agency gave him an idea. He could borrow another large sum to pay this portion. Anyway, as long as he did not borrow for a long time, the interest would not be too much.
Si Cheng believed this nonsense again and borrowed another sum of money in a daze. He did not think about what to do in the future.
His heart was filled with the desire to make a comeback and make those who looked down on him regret it. He had fallen into an anxious state and was easily deceived.
However, although the company’s needs had been fulfilled, it was not developing in a good direction. As time passed, they could not even pay their employees’ salaries. The lending agency also began to urge Si Cheng to return the money.
At this moment, he panicked. He quickly contacted Mi Na, who he had looked down on previously, and wanted her to help him tide over the difficulties.
It was only then that he saw the news some time ago. Mi Na had been arrested for drug trafficking, and the Mi family had also been involved in this drug scandal. They were being investigated thoroughly and were about to die.
Si Cheng had no choice but to think of Tan Si. She had loved him so much in the past. Now, she might be willing to help.
Si Cheng had completely forgotten about his humiliation of Tan Si. He thought that he was the heir of the Si family back then. After asking around, he found out where Tan Si was currently staying.
Tan Si smiled when she saw the person at the door. “What a rare guest. Don’t tell me you’re here to acknowledge your son?”
This sentence was a humiliation to Si Cheng. Previously, he had been able to find someone to replace him in Ma City, making Tan Si think that she had slept with Si Cheng and was looking forward to the birth of their child. In the end, it was a joke.
Si Cheng’s face was red as he stammered, “I’ve let you down in that matter. I want to apologize to you now.”
Tan Si did not believe in the nonsense of apologizing. The child was already so old before he even thought of apologizing. No one would believe that he was sincere.. She went straight to the point and said, “What exactly do you want?”
