Chapter 1027 - 1021: Xue Bing Looks for Lu Tianxing
"Cousin, please, help me one more time, just this once, just help me this once, I promise there won’t be a next time...."
Hearing no response from Xue Man, the sound of desperate pleading came again from the other end of the phone.
"How much?" Xue Man took a deep breath and asked.
"Two... two hundred thousand."
"Two hundred thousand, Chen Hao, you’ve lost so much again."
Xue Man’s voice suddenly rose several notches, filled with anger: "Do you know how much money I have given you over this past year, how many times I’ve cleaned up your mess? Why can’t you just learn a lesson? I’m telling you, Chen Hao, this is the last time. If you gamble again in the future, I won’t give you a penny. Back then, I was soft-hearted because Uncle Chen is already old and I was afraid he couldn’t take the blow, so I didn’t tell him about you being expelled from school for gambling. But look at what you’ve become now, you’re just a piece of trash, a scum of society."
Xue Man’s fingers were tightly clasped together, squeezing a pen into fragments, which made it clear how deeply angry she was inside.
"Cousin, you have to believe me. I can guarantee, this is the last time, absolutely the last time."
"Remember, this is the last time."
Xue Man threw down the words and immediately hung up the phone, a bitter smile appearing on her face.
Chen Hao had promised her like this before, each time he’d forget right after, gamble again, lose everything, borrow from loan sharks, and then be threatened to repay. She had lost count of how many times she’d cleaned up Chen Hao’s mess, amounts ranging from several thousand to hundreds of thousands.
She had thought several times about telling this to Chen Hao’s father, but each time she retreated at the crucial moment. Chen Hao’s father was already old and couldn’t take such a blow, and Chen Hao getting into Beijing University was perhaps the proudest thing in his father’s life, something brag-worthy.
