Chapter 1040 - 1034: Repaying Debt is Only Just and Right
At the same time, in the private room in front of Lu Tianxing, Xue Man’s fists were tightly clenched, her face looking extremely grim at this moment. Across from her stood seven or eight people, led by a short and fat middle-aged man who was smiling broadly at Xue Man, while beside her stood a young man in his twenties, beaten black and blue, with his head down, looking very dejected.
"Miss Xue, you’re finally here. Let’s skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point. Your brother lost one hundred fifty thousand last night here at my place, what do you think we should do?" the short, fat middle-aged man said to Xue Man, his gaze fixed on her delicate face, barely concealing his greed.
Upon hearing this, Xue Man suddenly raised her head to look at Chen Hao opposite her and said through gritted teeth, "Chen Hao, what did you promise me yesterday?"
"Cousin, I..."
"Tell me how many times this has happened now, Chen Hao. Do you feel you owe this to your father?"
Xue Man couldn’t help but raise her hand and fiercely slapped Chen Hao hard across the face.
"Cousin, I’m sorry, I... I couldn’t help but gamble, and lost. Then I thought of borrowing from loan sharks, but I lost again. I’m sorry, cousin, I know I was wrong."
Chen Hao was covering his face, not daring at all to look into Xue Man’s eyes.
Meanwhile, standing outside the door, Lu Tianxing had also understood; it was about owing gambling debts and forcing Xue Man to pay them off. That man must be the one Lan Xin said had made Xue Man angry to the extreme.
"Sorry, don’t tell me you’re sorry."
Xue Man glanced over at Chen Hao, then looked coldly at the short, fat man and said, "As far as I know, gambling and borrowing from loan sharks are illegal. Do you dare me to call the police?"
"Haha, call the police?"
