Volume 1: Rebirth Begins Chapter 11: Boasting

  Lu Xiaoqian smiled and revealed her snow-white teeth: "En, I'm going to make some money, waiting for me."

  "What the...? How did you end up like this? What have you been doing?" Sun Wanming looked at Lu Xiaoqian, who was still wearing a wet jacket and had dry mud spots all over his clothes, looking utterly disheveled.

  "I'm going to work and earn some money." Lu Xiaoqian didn't want to say that he was going to gamble, or else Sun Wanjing would have been furious.

  "What's going on? Has he gone out to make a fool of me again?" Sun Wanming's eyebrows were furrowed, had Lu Xiaotian gone out to humiliate her once more?

  "En." Sun Wanming knew what he was thinking, but Lu Xiaoqian didn't want to explain anything.

  Sun Wanming saw the situation and felt that Lu Xiaochi really seemed to be standing on duty, otherwise how could it have become like this. She was so angry that she asked: "Then why did you come back now?"

  "I'm going to Shen Cai Fei Yang again..." Lu Xiaoqian said halfway and immediately shut up, realizing he had misspoken.

  Sun Wanming was somewhat puzzled, hearing this name, this place must not be a good venue, "Shen Cai Fei Yang? What kind of place is that?"

  "That's the Red River District's amusement park, with those gambling machines. How did Master Qian end up in such a low-class place to gamble?" Bai Yanni walked down from upstairs, puffing on a cigarette, and stood in front of Lu Xiaoqian. "Hey! Master Qian, how did you manage to get into this state after working so hard?" She deliberately glanced at the mud stains on Lu Xiaoqian's clothes.

  After Bai Yanni went downstairs, she caught Lu Xiaoqian's eye. It has to be said that this silly woman had a great figure and was full of curves, especially now that she was wearing Sun Wanming's slender nightgown, her body lines were perfectly outlined, especially the chest which was bulging out, absolutely genuine and valuable, from the collarless nightgown exposed a patch of snow-white skin, it was healthy white, sexy white, making men excited at just one glance.

  "What are you looking at?" Bai Yanni felt the fiery gaze shot from Lu Xiaoqian's eyes and glared back with her almond-shaped eyes wide open.

  "My dad is checking if it's really his own home, there's someone else's car parked in my dad's courtyard, a woman wearing my dad's wife's pajamas and slippers, smoking my dad's treasured camel cigarettes in the living room of my dad's house asking me what I'm looking at." Lu Xiaoqian sat down on the sofa with a thud, he didn't have any good feelings towards this sharp-tongued stupid woman.

  "Hey!" Bai Yanni pointed at Lu Xiaoqian with anger, then smiled coldly. "I'm here to help you, otherwise a certain someone would be singing Iron Window Tears in the next life."

  Lu Xiaoqian's expression changed slightly before he smiled and said, "I don't need your help, you take care of yourself, don't put your mind on other people's family matters, think about your own family matters."

  "Are you really going to sell your labor?" Sun Wanming didn't want to see the two people quarrel as soon as they met.

  Lu Xiaoqian's face turned slightly red and he nodded, after all, it didn't feel good to lie to his own wife.

  "How much money did you make?" Bai Yanni didn't want to miss this chance to strike at Lu Xiaoqian.

  "Hmm." Lu Xiaoqian was somewhat speechless, it's really hard to say how much money he made.

  "Hasn't he lost his usual flair? Hehe!" Bai Yanni saw Lu Xiaoqian's embarrassment at a glance and guessed what had happened.

  "I won! And there's still 50,000 yuan in cash!" Lu Xiaoqian proudly patted his own pocket.

  Bai Yanni looked at Lu Xiaoqian's flat pocket and asked, "Where's the money? Are you starting to win now? After a few rounds, the little money you earned will be gone."

  Lu Xiaoqian slapped his pocket and regretted it, the 50,000 yuan had already been given to Guangtou's sister. Seeing Sun Wanming's gloomy face and being stared at with disgust, he quickly explained: "I gave the money to a younger sister from a difficult family."

  "Full of disdain in her eyes, Sun Wanming said: 'Bullshit!'"

  Lu Xiaoqian didn't explain anything, he had already fully merged with the original Lu Xiaoqian, and it wasn't the first time Sun Wanjing had scolded him like this. Compared to before, this time was relatively polite. Since he had taken over the original Lu Xiaoqian's body, Lu Xiaoqian felt a sense of responsibility to take on everything that belonged to him.

  Bai Yanni also said: "Wanming, take a look at his behavior. He's still saying that he gave the five million yuan to his younger sister who was having family difficulties. When has he ever won?"

  "From today on, I, Lu Xiaoqian, will never lose money again!" Lu Xiaoqian burst out with a strong sense of confidence and spoke out loud.

  Lu Xiaoqian's sudden change left Bai Yanni and Sun Wanjing both stunned, even Sun Wanjing had never seen Lu Xiaoqian so confident before, his entire demeanor was completely different from before.

  "He's not losing money, does that mean he's not gambling anymore?" Sun Wanming completely misinterpreted Lu Xiaoqian's words, and was thrilled by his bold language. She looked at Lu Xiaoqian again, who had already lowered his head, the earlier momentum gone without a trace, his whole body still somewhat damp and disheveled, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, uncomfortable, and his eyes even had some sparkling tears about to spill out. After all, this was her own man! Although he gambled, but this time it was with money he earned himself, not like before when he pawned family things. Her heart softened again: "As long as you don't gamble anymore, that's good! There's a box of rice on the table, hurry up and eat!"

  Lu Xiaoqian nodded, having already seen another boxed meal on the tea table. His heart warmed up as he opened it and found his favorite egg fried eggplant. Although he had just eaten, he didn't want to hurt Sun Wanxiang's feelings, so he still picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating.

  "Master Qian is back so late, looks like he hasn't eaten yet." Bai Yanni chimed in with a sarcastic remark about Lu Xiaoqian. She had already noticed that Sun Wanying was starting to soften up, which would be very unfavorable for her plan later on.

  Lu Xiaoqian said calmly: "I've eaten already."

  Bai Yanni sneered: "You've eaten already, are you still eating? You didn't eat at the construction site at noon, did you?"

  "Just now in a private room at Man Han Lou." Lu Xiaoqian could no longer bear it.

  "Bravo!" Bai Yanni didn't believe that a penniless person like him could go to the famous Man Han Lou in Suzhou for dinner, and must be showing off. Sun Wanming also thought that Lu Xiaoqian was bragging, thinking that he had just vowed not to gamble and now he's boasting.

  The expressions of the two were naturally seen by Lu Xiaoqian, who quickly swept away the boxed lunch and pulled out a crumpled pack of Camel cigarettes from his pocket. He took one out and looked at it, unable to help but smile wryly - this precious pack of Camels had been soaked in the rain and was now unusable.

  Bai Yanni suddenly threw over a cigarette, indicating that Lu Xiaoqian should light it up as she had something to say. Lu Xiaoqian knew that Bai Yanni would not come to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, and if she was still entangled in the divorce issue, Lu Xiaoqian would not back down.

  With a "slap" sound, Bai Yanni threw the blueprint of the Spiral Super Cycle in front of Lu Xiaoqian, "Where did you get this? Speak up."

  Lu Xiaoqian felt something was off from the moment Bai Yanni handed him a cigarette, it seemed like he had seen it somewhere before. Now that Bai Yanni asked, he suddenly remembered that this was just like the interrogation room's villa version. Look at you, I didn't say and you've already forgotten again, right?
