The Last Stand of a Terminally Ill Deadbeat Dad: Protecting His Daughter

share time: 2025-11-23 00:31:48

Middle-aged Chen Jianguo is a "deadbeat dad" in everyone's eyes—addicted to mahjong, divorced by his wife, and alienated by his daughter Yutong for his inaction. Until diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer, he learns Yutong is struggling with her late mother's clothing factory: her uncle seized it over fake debts, and Yutong was humiliated when she tried to get it back. Worse, Yutong's collaboration with the wealthy Lin family turned into a trap—she was tricked into a transfer contract and is being forced to sign it by the Lin heir. On the brink of death, Chen suddenly "fights back": he gathers his late wife's old workers to reclaim the factory, then stumbles into the Lin family's meeting room with a cane. He slams a yellowed IOU on the table and says coldly: "No one touches my daughter." The room freezes—turns out, the Lin patriarch owes Chen a life debt. As Yutong sees her father pressing his chemo-ravaged stomach, she realizes his "laziness" was a mask for his pain. Chen's only wish? To leave his daughter one last gift: courage.
