Chapter 92

I looked at my dad, almost pleadingly. “Please, Dad, will you come back with me first? I will definitely find a way to solve this matter. I’m begging you, can we leave together, please?”

“Alright, Reynaldo is here. Dad can talk to him, and he will definitely help Dad.”

“No, Dad! I will think of other ways. We don’t need his help. We can handle it ourselves. Let’s not bother him, okay? Dad, please come back with me, please!” I looked at my dad in despair, my voice filled with pleading.

But my dad didn’t listen. He impatiently pushed me away and said, “How can we solve it ourselves? Besides asking for Reynaldo’s help, who else can you find? Alright, if you don’t want to talk to Reynaldo, Dad will personally speak to him. Reynaldo has always been a good son-in-law. Dad believes that he will help Dad.”

My dad finished speaking and immediately looked at Reynaldo in a pleasing manner. I was so desperate that I couldn’t drag him away, no matter how hard I tried.

At this moment, the cigarette between Reynaldo’s fingers had already burned halfway. He flicked the cigarette ash and looked at me and my dad nonchalantly.

My dad quickly smiled at him and said, “Reynaldo, this time Dad is working on a big project with someone, but unfortunately, we had a little loss at the beginning. You see, can you lend me thirty million first, and when I make money, I will give you a share of the profits?”

“Dad!” I looked at my dad in disbelief. He clearly lost only seven million, but he asked Reynaldo for thirty million right away. What did he consider Reynaldo as? Where did he get the confidence from, thinking that Reynaldo would give him money, and daring to ask for such a large sum?

“Thirty million…”

Reynaldo chuckled softly and asked my dad, “So, how much will you finally give me?”

My dad was taken aback for a moment, fearing that what he had just called “dividends” was just talk, but he didn’t expect Reynaldo to actually want those dividends.

My dad hesitated and said, “Um… this is still uncertain. We can only determine it after the completion of the project, based on the profits. Anyway, Reynaldo, trust me, Dad is confident that this project will definitely make money in the end.”

Reynaldo lowered his gaze and chuckled. “With such a start, how much money can I expect you to make in the end?”

At this moment, I had already fully detected the sarcasm and impatience in Reynaldo’s tone, but my dad seemed as if he hadn’t heard it. Really, don’t say Ronan doesn’t have business acumen; he has been working on the legacy left by his ancestors. Now look at my father, isn’t it the same? In the past, he also inherited the family business from the previous generation. The reason why the first half of his life went smoothly was also because of the solid foundation at home. Now that the foundation is gone, after the company went bankrupt, my dad was completely dumbfounded and started spending money recklessly everywhere. If Reynaldo gave him the money this time, I can guarantee that there will definitely be a next time, and my dad will definitely step up his game and ask Reynaldo for more. He had already treated Reynaldo as his personal ATM, and he always seemed unsatisfied, without considering why someone would give him money.

“Dad…” I tugged at my father’s arm and whispered to him, “Let’s go, we’ll talk about this later, we’ll figure it out ourselves.”

However, my father never listened to me. He pushed me away as if I was annoying him and jokingly said to Reynaldo, “Reynaldo, you can’t say things like that. The slight loss at the beginning of this project doesn’t really count as a loss. Dad guarantees it; this project will definitely make money.”

Reynaldo laughed, “How much can you earn? The projects I invest in always double the profits. I’ll lend you 30 million, and you should at least return me 60 million. Can you do it?”

My dad was suddenly speechless. No need to think about it; my dad definitely couldn’t do it. We have already lost 7 million in the early stage, so it would be considered good if we don’t lose the remaining 30 million. How is it possible for him to make double the money? My dad definitely knew that he couldn’t do it, so he didn’t say anything.

Reynaldo blew a smoke ring and crushed the cigarette butt on the ground, then chuckled at my dad and said, “Since you can’t meet my requirements, go find other investors.”

After Reynaldo finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the outpatient department.
