In the following days, Gu Junjie was lost in thought. I knew he wanted to gamble again, so I took the initiative to ask, "Junjie, do you want to try your luck once more?"
"I think that day was just bad luck. Maybe today will be different!"
Gu Junjie looked at me with his bloodshot eyes, a hint of madness flickering within them. "Vivi, do you really think I can win it back? Let's give it another shot, just once, okay?"
I nodded and took his hand, leading him to the casino.
Sure enough, greedy people could never resist the temptation of trying again. I didn't even have to put much effort into persuading him. This time, Uncle Wang didn't accompany him personally; he just sent one of his subordinates over.
At first, Gu Junjie won a few big hands, breaking even with the five million he had lost before. He became increasingly exhilarated, convinced that today was his lucky day.
But before he knew it, he lost even more and by midnight, he had accumulated a debt of eight million. The moment he signed the IOU, he collapsed onto the floor in despair.
I had no choice but to ask the casino security to help me take him back to the hotel to rest. Meanwhile, I arranged to meet up with friends and happily danced the night away until dawn.
When morning came, Gu Junjie returned to Haicheng with a heavy burden of debt and a heart full of despair. It wasn't until I repeatedly promised that I would not cancel the wedding that he finally felt a bit relieved.
The wedding must happen; it had to be grand.
After returning to Haicheng, I intentionally created a light and cheerful atmosphere as if nothing had ever happened. I told him we should keep the gambling debts hidden from my parents for now and wait until after our marriage to find an appropriate time for them to help us pay it off.
Although Gu Junjie was filled with guilt and unease, facing my gentle smile and determined gaze, he ultimately chose to trust me and remained silent.
In the days that followed, Gu Junjie went out of his way to please me as if trying to make amends for his mistakes. He picked me up from home every morning and evening without fail and prepared various surprises on weekends in an attempt to make me happy.
On the surface, I remained calm, but inside, I felt disgusted by every bit of flattery he offered. I knew that all of this was just his way of keeping me in line so that he could marry me and gain control over the the Lin's wealth.
Two days before the wedding, Gu Junjie suddenly presented me with a diamond ring worth millions and proposed to me again. I feigned surprise, but inwardly I couldn't help but wonder: where did he get the money?
Since it was free, I might as well accept it as interest. I smiled as I took the ring and slipped it onto my finger, saying to him, "Junjie, you are so good to me. I have a small request—I would like my roommate, Zhang Ya, to be my bridesmaid. She has always envied me for finding such a wonderful boyfriend like you, and I want her to share in my happiness!"
Seeing me act coyly with an innocent expression, Gu Junjie's face changed slightly, but he quickly masked it with a smile and agreed, "Of course, Vivi. As long as you're happy."
I knew he must be cursing Zhang Ya in his heart at that moment but dared not show it. And I intended to use this to my advantage, bringing them together at the wedding. After all, a family of three should be perfectly united, shouldn't it?
