“After a few months, big sister, you look even younger.”
Si Tai completely ignored him, “Go ahead, what is it this ti?”
Cai Kang smiled awkwardly, after all, she was his own sister, there was nothing to be shy about.
After a brief hesitation, he quickly clarified his intention, “Sister, could you lend so money?”
“You can leave now.”
Si Tai simply said.
Cai Kang was slightly stunned, quickly adding, “Sister, I’m not asking for much, just five billion, just five billion.”
Si Tai’s lips curved up, sketching a cold, unfriendly smile.
“Just five billion?
Cai Kang, you really have a big mouth now.”
Cai Kang’s expression was complex, he spoke solemnly, “Sister, you don’t know, recently, my company encountered so trouble.
So unscrupulous hospitals, because of their own mistakes, caused dical accidents, and all the bla was pushed onto .
Sister, because of this, I’ve been unable to eat or sleep, begging people everywhere, look, I even have gray hair now.”
Saying this, Cai Kang raised his hand to ss with his hair, and true to his word, there really were a few strands of white hair.
But Si Tai was indifferent, coldly saying, “If you weren’t at fault at all, could others simply falsely accuse you?”
Cai Kang lowered his hand, didn’t continue to explain, but spoke passionately, “Sister, I’m only short of five billion now, just this little bit of money and I can get through this crisis.
Sister, you can’t just watch die, can you?”
Normally, playing the emotional card indeed was an unbeatable tactic, but this ti Cai Kang’s luck was poor, choosing the wrong mont.
“Watch you die?”
Si Tai sneered even more, “Tell , over these years, how many tis have I helped you?
Mr.
He specifically instructed that no family mbers should gamble, but what did you do?
Who solved the debts you owed those casinos?
Do you know how much criticism I’ve entrenched in the He Family because of you?”
Although he was the Uncrowned King of Haojiang, the king of half of Casino City’s empire had indeed set family rules forbidding the He family mbers from personally gambling.
Technically, Cai Kang could hardly be considered a He family mber, but these relatives, leaning on the He family tree, dared not visibly defy its rules.
Thus Cai Kang sought other paths; not all of Haojiang’s casinos were owned by the He family.
“Sister, you know I had no choice, going to the casinos was all to entertain guests.
I’m doing business in the inland, I have to establish connections, right?
No one helped .”
Cai Kang sounded like he was grieving, yet also complaining.
A nephew of the Casino King was truly an extraordinary status, but if placed in the inland, its influence inevitably lessened.
Plus, the Casino King had more than one wife, and Si Tai’s room was the most declining one in the He family, which was already brimming with many mbers; combining all the external relatives made it almost “bloated.”
And his own abilities weren’t extraordinary; how could he distract the Casino King?
“Alright, you don’t have to tell all this.”
Si Tai had no patience to continue listening to these old, trite excuses, which almost always were similar whenever he ca by.
There’s a saying that a married daughter is like spilled water, but she wasn’t a heartless person; over the years, she had always done her best to help her parental family, but that was in the past.
In this situation, she herself was like a clay Buddha crossing the river, hardly in a position to help anyone else.
“You should ask soone else for help, I have no money.”
“That’s impossible!”
Cai Kang vehently denied, adding firmly, “Just five billion, sister, it’s impossible that you don’t have it.”
Si Tai almost laughed out of anger, even wanting to have this brother thrown out.
“Cai Kang, do you know what ti it is?
Our gambling license has expired, and the bidding for it is happening right now…”
Cai Kang clearly understood this important matter, but he was even more aware of the He family’s weight in this region.
“Isn’t it just a formality?”
He instinctively said, dismissively.
“A formality?”
Si Tai finally could not suppress her accumulated emotions, and raised her voice, “The first auction has already ended, and we lost; we’ve already lost one gambling license!”
Cai Kang was imdiately stunned.
Lost?
“How is that possible…”
He couldn’t believe it, and suddenly rembered the strange behavior of the casino manager Ji Shen earlier.
“Sister, you’re joking with , right?”
He still couldn’t believe it.
“Joking?
I wish I was joking.”
Cai Kang was lost in thought.
“We’re all trying to raise funds, yet you co asking for money.”
Cai Kang’s mind was a bit dazed, still unable to accept this bombshell.
The essential nature of a gambling license to the He family was self-evident, and now they had actually lost one.
Could it be that the old saying was true.
—Unexpected storms?
Was Casino City in The East really about to change?
Cai Kang was lost in his own ntal world, his expression constantly changing.
“… Sister, is the situation really that serious?”
Several seconds later, he tentatively asked with caution.
Madam Four’s face was cold, “Lately, you should co less often.
You’re already in such a difficult situation, I don’t want to ask you for money.”
“…”
Cai Kang looked embarrassed.
“Sister, you must be joking.
The He Family doesn’t need my help.”
Madam Four didn’t respond.
Cai Kang certainly wasn’t foolish.
After briefly absorbing the shocking news, he couldn’t help but lower his voice, “Sister, the Casino King has passed on.
I think, isn’t it ti for you to consider for yourself and Yi Hui?”
To ordinary people, it might seem comical, though he was a younger brother-in-law, he really hadn’t seen the Casino King a few tis.
Madam Four remained silent.
She knew exactly what her brother was thinking.
To be honest, she still had so funds in reserve, even at this point she hadn’t taken it out.
Of course.
She probably wasn’t the only one.
She believed the other branches probably did the sa.
However, this was irrelevant.
In a competition easily involving billions, whether she deployed this money wouldn’t critically impact the final result.
“Don’t forget who you owe your status to today.”
Mada He was expressionless and imdiately showed him out, “You can go back now.”
Cai Kang hesitated, ultimately saying nothing, braced himself on his knees, stood up, and paused.
Madam He didn’t even glance at him.
Seeing this, Cai Kang could only walk towards the exit.
“Uncle.”
At the door, He Yihui ca face to face, apparently just back from outside.
Her deanor was sowhat aloof, but she was still quite polite.
After all, upbringing and personality are two different matters.
“Where did you go?”
Cai Kang stopped and squeezed out a smile for his niece.
“Just walked around outside.”
Cai Kang looked down and noticed the poodle his niece was holding.
She had gone out to walk the dog.
“Spend more ti at ho with your mommy recently.”
Cai Kang said warmly.
He Yihui nodded.
Cai Kang smiled, “Uncle has so things to take care of, I’ll leave now.”
He Yihui didn’t hold him back, watching as Cai Kang left and then entered the hall with the dog.
“Mommy, Uncle seed to be in a bad mood.”
She really was observant.
Cai Kang tried to hide it, but it was still noticed.
Just this skill alone should be enough for young master Guo to learn from.
“Why do you only care about others?
Do I look good?”
The maid respectfully ca over to take the dog away.
“Another argunt?”
He Yihui sat down in the spot Cai Kang had just occupied.
Madam Four shook her head, “Mommy doesn’t have the energy to argue with him now.
Man should not be overly ambitious; destiny is shaped by birth, and life is determined by fate; why bother with cunning sches.
Your daddy was quite right about your uncle, he ca to borrow money again.”
“Mommy didn’t lend it?”
“I don’t have the money to lend him now.
Even if I did, it’s not advisable.
Otherwise, if your aunts find out, who knows what they might think.”
“It should have been like this earlier.
Uncle relies too much on Mommy, and such dependence isn’t good for him.”
Madam Four was montarily stunned.
Was this girl starting to lecture her?
After a brief mont of daze, Madam Four’s face turned serious, and she stared intently at her daughter.
“Are you hiding sothing from Mommy?”
Before He Yihui could speak, Madam Four continued, “Think carefully before you answer.
Mommy taught you from a young age that lying is not a good habit.”
