Not only that, Wu Youyou took a photo and sent it to Hou Yi. Wu Youyou shouted for the cleaning staff to come and tidy up, grumbling a few words, "What a crazy man! He’s even more of an artist than I am! This is just insane!"
Lan Qingqing was taken aback and immediately messaged Hou Yi, "Your flower has been stepped on by Wu Youyou."
Hou Yi replied, "You’re being hypocritical. Just wait, I’ll help you take care of this resentment you have towards Wu Youyou."
That night, at Lan Qingqing's apartment.
When Lan Qingqing returned home, Mo Kai Liang had already prepared dinner. Ke Wenjie had spent the entire day cooped up at home, looking disheveled and in terrible condition.
At the dinner table, Zhang Huizhi spoke first. "Jin Feng returned that piece of land to me. I didn’t expect her to be so straightforward. It seems she’s planning to stay in the city with her daughter permanently. It’s unbelievable; even beggars can live in the city now!"
Ke Wenjie remained silent, eating with a sullen expression.
Mo Kai Liang pushed the meat dishes towards Lan Qingqing, encouraging her to eat more.
Lan Qingqing glanced at Ke Wenjie and said, "I had a brief chat with Tong Le today. She already knew about me and Ke Wenjie, but she pretended not to say anything. She even tried to push me closer to Ke Wenjie. Clearly, she’s prepared for a divorce; we’ve all been played by her."
Suddenly, Ke Wenjie slammed his chopsticks down and shouted, "Shut up! Don’t mention her again!"
Lan Qingqing sneered inwardly. What kind of blind person would fall for someone like Ke Wenjie, who was prone to fits of rage like a Phoenix Man?
After dinner, Mo Kai Liang washed the dishes in the kitchen.
Zhang Huizhi went to the bedroom to comfort Ke Wenjie.
Lan Qingqing slipped into the kitchen and closed the door behind her, whispering to Mo Kai Liang. "You need to pack your bags tonight; we’re leaving tomorrow. I found a new place to stay and won’t be hanging out with Ke Wenjie anymore. He’s in such a slump now; he won’t be of any use to us."
Mo Kai Liang wiped his hands and took out his phone. He opened a banking app showing his balance and showed it to Lan Qingqing.
Lan Qingqing stared at the amount on the screen—two hundred thousand!
She almost screamed, "Where did you get two hundred thousand from?"
Mo Kai Liang cautiously opened the kitchen door to check if anyone was outside before whispering, "Yesterday, we won money at the casino. You gave me thirty thousand as my share, right? Well, today I took that thirty thousand to an underground casino."
Lan Qingqing gasped. "An underground casino? There’s such a place? Don’t let yourself get scammed!"
Mo Kai Liang said, "I wasn't deceived. I took the thirty thousand you gave me and spent a day at an underground casino, and I won all this."
Lan Qingqing felt goosebumps rise on her skin. She never expected that the seemingly brainless Mo Kai Liang would have such good luck at gambling! However, fate can be cruel; it took away Mo Kai Liang's fortune in life but granted him luck in gambling.
Nervously, Lan Qingqing asked, "What do you plan to do with this money?"
Mo Kai Liang replied earnestly, "I’ll gamble a few more times. Once I make a million, I’ll stop. Then I’ll use that million to start a business and take care of you."
Lan Qingqing laughed out loud. "Aren't you afraid of losing it all back?"
Mo Kai Liang shook his head. "Not at all. I have nothing to lose. I started from zero."
After thinking for a moment, Lan Qingqing curiously asked, "You just came to the city not long ago. How did you find out about this underground casino?"
Mo Kai Liang pulled out a business card from his pocket and showed it to Lan Qingqing. "I got this card yesterday at Manor Casino. One of the servers slipped it under my drink while serving me. Out of curiosity, I added them as a friend today and discovered there was an underground casino."
He explained that the underground casino was located in a rundown area of the city, with poor conditions and chaotic personnel, but they had all kinds of games available.
Lan Qingqing began to understand how this came about; it must have been one of the high-end estate's service staff or a local hustler who saw Mo Kai Liang as a poor country bumpkin with no money but a penchant for gambling, enticing him to visit the underground casino. After all, someone like Mo Kai Liang would never set foot in such an estate without being brought in by someone like Hou Yi.
Lan Qingqing silently sighed, realizing that people nowadays were quite cunning.
She reminded him, "Promise me you'll know when to stop. No matter what, you can't lose everything!"
Mo Kai Liang nodded vigorously. "I promise you!"
In another room, Zhang Huizhi sat beside Ke Wenjie, trying to comfort him. "Son, how about we go out for a bit? Maybe travel? Let’s not worry about the mess at home for now, okay?"
Ke Wenjie opened his phone and checked his bank account balance—he was broke.
He said, "The apartment across the hall has already been vacated. I'm planning to give up the one downstairs too. I'm out of money right now; we can squeeze together in this apartment for now."
Zhang Huizhi nodded. "That’s fine, son."
Ke Wenjie sighed heavily. "I need money right now; otherwise, nothing is convenient."
Zhang Huizhi thought for a moment and suggested slyly, "What if I ask Lan Qingqing for some? She must have some savings hidden away! With all her cunning ways, she surely has some money saved up!"
