Chapter 154: One hundred fifty-three, not a biological child
The other party had initially demanded that he use Luo Shu as collateral, but he had suffered a loss at the hands of Luo Shu before, and considering Luo Shu’s current status in the hearts of the people of Cloud City, if he dared use Luo Shu as collateral, he would definitely get beaten up as soon as he set foot outside.
But using Luo Shan as collateral was different; she was his biological daughter, and also Luo Shu’s sister. After knowing about this, Luo Shu certainly wouldn’t ignore Luo Shan. In the end, Luo Shu would have to pay off the debt. It was for this reason that he had readily signed the IOU.
As for whether Luo Shan would hate him afterward, he wasn’t worried at all. Luo Shan wasn’t Luo Shu; a few sweet words from him, a little cajoling, and that silly girl would definitely open her heart to him just like before.
Luo Jianmin slapped the table hard with anger and pointed at Luo Jiansen, cursing loudly, "You bet yourself into a frenzy, and now you use your daughter as collateral. Why didn’t you use yourself instead? Do you have any sense of shame at all? Do you even qualify as a parent?" Now that Luo Shan was working in the brigade, her salary might not be high, but it was more than enough to support her and Luo Jiansen. He couldn’t fathom why his brother would shun a good life for gambling just like others.
"I know I was wrong, okay! But the money I owe still needs to be paid back, or those people will chop off my hands and feet," Luo Jiansen said, although without a trace of regret on his face.
"Your hands and feet are of no use anyway," a voice with a chill to it came from the door.
Everyone turned their heads to see Luo Shu, Luo Qianyu, and Fu Yi standing at the door, looking coldly at Luo Jiansen.
"Big sister, why are you here?" Luo Zheng exclaimed in surprise. The reason he hadn’t detailed the situation in his letter was that he didn’t want big sister to get involved. Big sister had already done so much for them; they shouldn’t be dependent on her for everything.
Luo Shan raised her head to glance at Luo Shu, then quickly lowered it in shame. She felt she had no face to see her sister. When Luo Shu had taken her away, Luo Shan had enjoyed a good life, but she stubbornly returned here.
After coming back, Luo Shu, worried she wouldn’t fare well, had arranged a good job for her. But what had she done for Luo Shu in return? Now being used as collateral for her father’s debts was her own fault. If she had listened to her sister’s advice back then, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Seeing Luo Shu, Luo Jiansen felt a surge of joy. He knew Luo Shu wouldn’t ignore Luo Shan and her brother; his gambling debts would now be settled.
