The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 560 - 0: The Gambling Fiend Daddy
Chapter 560: Chapter 0560: The Gambling Fiend Daddy
Xiushui Village, after Wang Youde and his wife returned, went from being poor villagers to newly rich practically overnight.
A black Honda Accord had made everyone in the village green with envy.
"Every time someone comes by, Wang Youde brags, "My daughter’s got ambition, she opened a clothing store in the city, making millions a month, easy! And my son-in-law, no need to even mention, he’s a big company CEO, earns tens of millions a month, right? You all used to look down on Shengli, didn’t you? Well, he’s made something of himself now, I heard he took home millions just in bonuses last month."
He apparently didn’t understand the principle of "wealth should not be flaunted, and the rich should not return to their hometowns."
Once a few village bullies heard about this, they invited him to play cards that very evening.
Usually, they would gather to gamble.
And sure enough, just one night—
Wang Youde lost over half a million, his eyes were red from the loss.
Long Fei had given him a million, he spent over two hundred thousand on a car, and kept fifty thousand with him, with another hundred thousand or so at his wife’s.
The bullies secretly rejoiced, they had never expected to make such an easy score.
Pretending to be sleepy, they said to Wang Youde, "Uncle Wang, shall we call it a night? You just came back from the city, better head home and get some sleep!"
Wang Youde stood up and shouted, "No way, you win and you want to leave? I won’t allow the game to end today, no one’s leaving!"
The five bullies exchanged looks, threw down their cards, and pointing to a ledger told him, "Uncle Wang, let’s settle up then. Since six o’clock this morning, you’ve been playing on credit, and you’ve racked up over a hundred thousand by now. Don’t you think it’s a bit unfair, this way you’re going about things?"
"Yeah, Old Wang. We can continue playing, but first, clear your debts!"
Disbelieving, Wang Youde took the ledger and glanced at it, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com
Damn it, how did he rack up so much debt without realizing it?
Now, either keep playing with a glimmer of hope of winning it back,
Or give up and watch over half a million go down the drain.
Wang Youde’s mind was already in a haze; he grabbed his phone and immediately called his wife, yelling into the phone, "Hey, are you up? Get over to Cao Gang’s place quick, and bring me some money!"
His wife Yang Cuihua was shocked, "Don’t you have over fifty thousand on you?"
"Why all the pointless chatter! If I ask for money, just hurry up, I need it!"
Wang Youde cursed.
Yang Cuihua realized that he had lost all the money.
Distraught, she burst into tears, "You old fool, have you gone mad, or have you lost your soul? Over fifty thousand, and you’ve gambled it all away?"
Wang Youde’s ears were paining from the noise, so he hung up the phone, and after being scolded by his wife, suddenly felt a chill.
His mind started clearing up, the fifty thousand on him, plus the debt of over a hundred thousand; he had unconsciously thrown away sixty or seventy thousand in one night.
The householder Cao Gang and the other bullies exchanged smiles, a hint of malicious joy on their lips.
Someone reminded, "Old Wang, why don’t you call your daughter? Doesn’t she make over a million a month? Ask her to bring you some!"
"Yeah, Uncle Wang. You came back all full of talk, but why you backing down at crunch time?"
"Uncle Wang, are you still playing or not? If not, we’re going to bed!"
Wang Youde looked at them, his heart suddenly clenched, and he slapped the table, "Play, no one’s leaving today."
He picked up his phone and called Wang Xiaoya.
At that moment, Wang Xiaoya’s phone was on another call.
His wife Yang Cuihua had already made the call, wailing about not making ends meet and urging Wang Xiaoya to come back immediately.
Wang Xiaoya listened to her mother’s breakdown with a face of despair, quickly consoling her to stay calm.
After hanging up the phone, she turned to Long Fei in frustration, "My dad’s gone gambling again; looks like he’s lost all the money you gave him."
"No way?"
Long Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised, "There’s a gambling spot in your village? That’s almost a million we’re talking about!"
Wang Xiaoya shook her head, "Where’s there a gambling spot? It’s just some local thugs who always get my dad to play cards. They play big, and my dad usually loses tens of thousands at a time. All the money we make in a year, he gambles it away."
Long Fei rubbed his head, totally exasperated by his future in-laws.
After Yang Cuihua hung up the phone, Wang Youde called right after.
Long Fei told Wang Xiaoya to tell Wang Youde that she was on her way back, and she had brought some money with her, to hold off those thugs.
Wang Youde let out a long sigh of relief and proudly shouted at the hoodlums, "Hear that, my daughter and son-in-law are back. Just wait, they’ve brought over a million with them in the car, plenty of money!"
Cao Gang and several hoodlums’ eyes gleamed with anticipation, thinking that on their ancestors’ name, smoke was rising, a God of Wealth had arrived, and another one had followed suit.
He immediately had his women book meals at the village head’s restaurant, ready for a big feast to continue digging pits to make money.
He thought to himself, even though Wang Xiaoya’s husband is a city man, on their turf, he still had to listen to them.
This time, he was determined to make Little Ya’s Long Family lose everything before returning home.
Soon after, Long Fei’s car arrived at Xiushui Village.
Following Wang Xiaoya’s directions, Long Fei didn’t return to her house but went directly to Cao Gang’s.
The situation in Xiushui Village was obviously a little better than in Longjiawan Village.
The houses in the village were all tall two-story buildings with walls three meters high.
Bright red wooden doors, each household more ostentatious than the next.
Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya got out of the car and went in, finding Wang Youde playing drinking games and eating with Cao Gang and the others.
They were living it up; just a moment ago, they were acting as if they were going to die, and now they were drinking merrily.
Upon seeing them, Cao Gang immediately stood up and gave Wang Youde meaningful looks.
Wang Youde smugly said, "Don’t mind them; I know they’ve arrived. They come back home and don’t even bring any gifts—what a waste of raising such a daughter!"
Long Fei frowned, he had not yet had the chance to have a word with Wang Youde, and this old fool was already picking a fight.
Wang Xiaoya’s face turned red with shame and she looked at Long Fei instinctively, tugging his hand to signal him not to lose his temper.
At that moment, she kind of understood Long Fei.
Even if Long Fei didn’t choose her, she could understand.
Having such a family, any normal person wouldn’t choose her.
Cao Gang tried to ease the atmosphere, "Old Wang, your daughter has finally come back, what are you saying! Little Ya, your dad told you already on the phone. We played a few games last night, and he owes some money. Uncle Cao is not forcing you to repay it right away, we’re not in a hurry, you can repay us any time."
His words were polite, but every sentence hinted at demanding repayment.
Wang Youde turned to Wang Xiaoya and grunted, "You hear that? Hand over fifty thousand to your dad first. I’ll win it all back with interest and then give it back to you."
If it weren’t for Long Fei’s instructions to her in the car, she would have dragged this gambling addict of a father away long ago.
Wang Xiaoya purposely took out a stack of money from her bag and said to Wang Youde, "Dad, I did bring money this time, but it’s for building our family’s house. With you acting like this, what am I supposed to do?"
The moment Cao Gang and his group saw the bundles of cash, their eyes nearly popped out of their heads.
Wang Youde banged on the table and said, "You’re defying me now that you’ve grown wings, eh? Who asked you to build a house for me? Give me the money, and after I win, I’ll build it myself!"
Cao Gang and a few others pretended to persuade, "Old Wang, talk nicely to your daughter, why are you getting angry! If it’s no good, let’s just forget it and play some other time."
"Right, right, play another day, don’t ruin the harmony of your family!"
"Uncle Wang, you should go back with your daughter! Once you’ve discussed it, you can come back, we’re always ready to play."
Wang Youde, still spirited, said, "No way, I can’t go until I’ve won the money back today, no one is allowed to leave."
He turned to Wang Xiaoya with a glare, "Wang Xiaoya, if you still acknowledge me as your father, give me the money now. And if you disobey, get the hell back to the city right away. Consider it as if I, Wang Youde, never had a daughter like you!"
Even though Wang Xiaoya had been prepared, his attitude still took her aback and she burst into tears.
Long Fei patted her shoulder and suggested to Wang Youde, "Uncle, what kind of card game are you guys playing? I happen to be free; how about I play a couple of rounds for you? If I win, it counts as yours; if I lose, it’s on me!"
Wang Xiaoya, sticking to the script they’d agreed on, pulled on him and scolded coquettishly, "What are you getting excited for? You never played cards before, how can you play with them?"
Long Fei consoled her in a way that made him look like a tycoon, "I’ve never played, but I can learn, right! It’s just losing some money, as long as everyone’s happy, that’s all that matters."
Cao Gang and his gang got excited upon hearing this, all saying, "No problem, if the son-in-law wants to play, then let’s play! You can give him advice from the sidelines, we have no objections!"
"Exactly, Little Ya. Let your husband come over and play, it’s like getting acquainted with our villagers in advance!"
"Yeah, Little Ya. You can’t just leave the village and forget about us neighbors!"
Wang Youde thought about it and pointed to Long Fei, "Alright, come play! I’ll advise you from behind, you’ll definitely win if you listen to me."
"Alright!"
Long Fei pretended to be delighted as he sat down, even deliberately letting go of Wang Xiaoya’s hand.
The act he put on, he really looked like a gambling addict.
