The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1650 - 1649: Bankruptcy

"Did something happen at your place?"Li Shengxuan's eyes sparkled with a natural sacred light emanating from her, enveloping Tang Rao in a comfort he couldn't quite put into words.

"Yeah, there's a small problem back home, but it's not too serious."

Tang Rao felt he had changed, becoming someone who only shares good news, not bad, without even knowing when it started.

"Do you want to go see? Or do you have other plans? Your family should be alright, right?"

If anything happened to Tang Rao's blood relatives, Sheng Xuan feared it would be too much for him.

She asked cautiously, afraid to accidentally touch Tang Rao's sensitive spot and make him even angrier.

"No problem, they're all fine. Once Kao Shan Street opens, I'll go back and check. Anyway, going back is just a matter of saying the word right now!"

Yeah, Tang Rao has always been invincible. As a woman worrying about these things, isn't it a bit overthinking?

Yan Wei's words are like a thorn in Tang Rao's heart, uncomfortable but impossible to remove.

Saying he'll wait until Kao Shan Street opens are all lies; when all the shops on Kao Shan Street open, the business Tang Renwang painstakingly built on Blue Star might not even have scraps left.

After leaving a message for Yan Wei, Tang Rao reminded Sheng Xuan not to be surprised if she doesn't see him in the coming days. He would naturally return in a couple of days.

Sheng Xuan didn't ask more; she knew Tang Rao was eager to return, lightly saying nonchalant things while she was actually more worried about the situation on Blue Star.

The day and night in the Divine Realm aren't much different from those in Flame Country, so when Tang Rao returned, it was still only slightly dawn.

Leaving Blue Star, he created a false Tang Rao living at home, but after he left, the false Tang Rao used the excuse of studying abroad and never returned, only contacting the family when needing money, ignoring them otherwise.

Tang Rao climbed over the fence into the house, Bai Yushu was pacing around the villa courtyard, tired, sitting on the swing for a while. Her weary look seemed like she hadn't slept all night.

"Mom, what are you doing here, not sleeping?"

Bai Yushu had already seen Tang Rao, so he brushed the dirt off himself and openly walked up to her without hiding that he had returned.

After several years apart, Bai Yushu had grown some white hairs.

No matter how refined a woman may be, she must submit to the passage of time.

"Son, you're back?"

Bai Yushu looked at Tang Rao, through the mist not seeing him clearly. Afraid she was dreaming again, she kept confirming, touching Tang Rao's face for a genuine feel.

"Of course, your handsome son is back! It's just that things are tight right now, couldn't survive abroad, so I came back for some relief funds to keep going, right?"

Tang Rao cheekily moved closer to Bai Yushu.

This is his mother; in front of her, who cares about image?

Son ran out of money?

Bai Yushu used to love hearing this, but now it's troubling to hear it again.

"What? Our family can't really be broke, can we?"

He tentatively asked, receiving a heavy nod from Bai Yushu.

"Honestly, your father's company hasn't been doing well for the past few years, and it's planning to declare bankruptcy in the coming days."

Bai Yushu hadn't slept because of this matter.

A good company, plagued by domineering cultivators, Tang Renwang reasoned multiple times without success. Those people found Tang Renwang an easy target, even directly threatening him, extorting company benefits, or they'd destroy the entire Dynasty.

Tang Renwang hadn't returned in a long time; Bai Yushu hadn't dared tell Tang Rao the truth, but somehow he knew?

"Declare bankruptcy? Actually, I fooled you guys. I've been saving the money you gave me all these years. Tell Tang Renwang, if he needs money, I can give him some. The Dynasty can't go bankrupt; if he truly declares it, we'll have no income."

Tang Rao comforted Bai Yushu.

Through the years, Tang Renwang regularly transferred money to Tang Rao, spoiling him immensely, but with the card and not being on Blue Star, Tang Rao couldn't spend it. If his memory is correct, he still has a fortune!

"It's not about money. Forget it, it's fine. The Dynasty disappearing is also good; we can live peacefully and simply, without needing to fear anymore."

Bai Yushu showed a smile of relief, which felt heavy in Tang Rao's eyes.

"Mom, what exactly happened with Tang Renwang... no, my dad's company? Tell me, maybe I have a solution; together we are stronger, don't you think?"

Bai Yushu had never seen her son so mature before, sensing an overnight growth in him, feeling both gratified and reluctant.

Bai Yushu sighed, got off the swing, remained silent for a while, and then resolutely told Tang Rao, "Your dad's company caught the attention of several powerful cultivators. Their strength is formidable; few here dare to provoke them. Reporting to the police yields no results, and we lack the ability; your dad has been threatened multiple times. If this continues, I'm truly worried our whole family won't have a good life."

Bai Yushu had never shown weakness before Tang Rao, but now she felt genuinely exhausted, seeing her son and instinctively relying on him as her spiritual pillar, telling him everything, letting him decide.

Cultivators very powerful locally?

How powerful could they be, stronger than him at the peak of God's mid-phase?

With Tang Rao's current strength, capable of destroying worlds, he doesn't regard Blue Star with weight. He would perform before Bai Yushu, boosting her confidence if he weren't afraid of alarming her.

"Mom, give me some time. Rest assured, no one dares lay hands on the Dynasty; Dad doesn't need to declare bankruptcy. I have a way to save the company, believe me!"

Bai Yushu nodded tiredly without asking Tang Rao's plans. When Tang Rao urged her to return inside for a good rest, Bai Yushu didn't refuse.

Tang Rao swiftly arrived at Tang Renwang's company. Though brightly lit, there were few people working overtime.

Would overtime help a company on the brink of bankruptcy?

Tang Rao arrived at the company lobby, and the reception didn't even bother stopping him, allowing him to wander through freely.
