Wanjin Lady

Chapter 141 Losing Money
Yuan Jing proudly scolded him, "Stop flattering me! I haven't even shown one ten-thousandth of my ability yet. What luck? This gambling relies on that!"

He pointed at his head shakily.

Another burp.

Accountant Zhou quickly supported Yuan Jing, showered him with flattering words, and gave him a thumbs-up. "Sixth Master, this is it! Our eldest son can't compare to you!"

snort!
Of course!

Once he takes over the Wen family winery, what will Yuan Qi use to fight him?

By then, the entire Yuan family will belong to him!
Halfway through the night.

Qianjin Winery was bustling with activity! The reason was simple: Yuan Liulang's luck was incredibly good tonight!

Sixteen rounds were played in a row, with gold coins appearing in every round, attracting the attention of everyone in the gambling house!
Someone pulled Accountant Zhou aside in shock, "That silver on your young master's desk...was it all won?"

Accountant Zhou was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, his eyes narrowed into a line, "Not bad! My young master! We started with one thousand taels of silver, and now we've won eight hundred taels!"

Everyone asked again.

"Have you ever lost?"

"How come I haven't lost? I'm counting, eighteen games in total, and I lost two!"

"Hey, is it possible that the dealer is cheating and giving money to Yuan Liulang?"

Yuan Jing was so dizzy that he could barely stand. He retorted with red eyes, "Bullshit! I'm not the father of the owner of the Qianjin Casino... Why would he give me money as a filial gift?"

These words made everyone laugh.

Only the dealer sitting opposite laughed bitterly, "Hey, Mr. Yuan Liu, are you tired? Do you want to take a break? You're so lucky tonight. If you keep playing... I'm afraid the boss won't be able to bear it..."

Yuan Jing angrily pushed the silver ingot mountain forward, slammed his palm on the table, and shouted drunkenly: "You run a gambling house and you are afraid that customers will win money? Why do you run a gambling house if you can't afford to play? Go back to your mother's arms and suck her milk!"

Everyone laughed again, "This Yuan Liulang looks so gentle and polite, but he actually speaks like a rough guy like us."

"The gentleman is the scholar from his family! His name is Cheng Yunzhang! This kid is a second-generation rich kid. There's nothing he can't do, such as playing with cats and dogs, fighting cocks and running errands!"

The dealer wasn't upset by the reprimand. Instead, he smiled and suggested, "It's almost midnight, so why not play a big game and decide the outcome in one round? Yuan Liulang, do you dare to bet all your money? If you win... 1,800 taels of silver will be doubled... If you lose, it's all ours. How about it?"

The crowd was enjoying the fun and were all shouting and cheering.

"Yuan Liulang, just go ahead! You're very lucky, what are you afraid of?!"

"That's right, what's the point if you don't bet big! Don't worry, we'll bet with you! If you bet big, we'll bet big! If you bet small, we'll bet small!"

It’s not his own money anyway, so it’s not a big deal to shout a few times.

Yuan Jing was moved.

When will this cycle end?
It would be better to decide the outcome in one game!
Life and death all depends on God!
What's more, he is so lucky tonight, it must be God's hint to him!
Now or never!

Accountant Zhou was also whispering to him, "Sixth Master, if 1,800 taels of silver are doubled... it would be 3,600 taels... The Wen family's winery is exactly 3,500 taels... If we win this time... we won't have to ask you for money... We can make back all the money we lost in Bingzhou..."

Yuan Jing's eyes were red, and the noisy sounds around him gave him a splitting headache.

At this moment, my mind was completely occupied by the voice of Accountant Zhou.

Three thousand five hundred taels…three thousand five hundred taels…Wen Family Winery…

What are you afraid of?

Fuck you!

What kind of business can you run without guts?! "Come on, let's open it again!"

Early in the morning, just as it was getting light, someone knocked on the Wen family's door.

Wen Wan has woken up.

In the misty morning, she and Zhao Heng were exercising in the martial arts training ground in the backyard. When Wen Wan received the news from Gang Leader Liu, she pursed her lips slightly.

The girl's lips were red and thin, like cherries in spring or summer. The stiff muscles in her cheeks relaxed, revealing a smile.

Zhao Heng noticed her change of mood and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief on the wooden shelf. "Is it good news?"

Wen Wan didn't answer, but took off the stick and threw it to Zhao Heng, "One more round!"

When Yuan Jing came out of the gambling house, his legs were weak.

His temples were throbbing as if he had been punched repeatedly, and he was in a daze and unconscious.

The sky gradually brightened and the sun was high in the sky, but he felt a chill all over his body.

Until one step is empty——

Yuan Jing fell straight down from the threshold.

"Oh, my Sixth Master!"

Accountant Zhou quickly supported him. Yuan Jing couldn't hold back any longer and hugged Accountant Zhou's waist and burst into tears. "It's over! Uncle Zhou, I'm done! If my father finds out, he will never forgive me!"

Accountant Zhou repeatedly comforted him, "No! Sixth Master is doing this for the sake of the Third House! The Master loves you dearly, how could he bear to touch you? Wait until you return, and cry, make a scene, or even threaten to hang yourself. The Master will surely soften his heart towards you like before!"

“But…but…” Yuan Jing’s lips trembled. Everything that happened last night seemed like a dream, but now he was pulled back to reality. “That old bitch won’t let me go. She finally caught me doing something wrong… I… I was really possessed by the devil… I just wanted to get my money back… I should have quit while I was ahead…”

Onlookers stopped to watch, and some curious people even approached to ask what was going on. They saw the gambling house owner shaking out a piece of paper and showing it to everyone, "Yuan Liulang, you owe me two thousand three hundred taels of silver. Pay it back within two weeks! If you don't, I'll use your limbs as collateral! Considering you're from the Cheng family in Bozhou, we've allowed you to go back to Bozhou to get the money! Remember, if you don't come back in two weeks, we'll go to the government with drums and gongs!"

Wow, two thousand three hundred taels of silver... As expected of someone from the Cheng family of Bozhou... This is really generous!

Yuan Jing's voice trembled, and his hand trembled as he pointed at the other person's nose and cursed, "It's obviously you... your gambling house is cheating!"

The dealer, who had been smiling before, now turned his face and twisted his fingers, causing Yuan Jing to scream in pain.

"Pah!" The manager coughed up a mouthful of thick phlegm and spat it in Yuan Jing's face, then kicked him in the chest. "Bullshit! I didn't force you to sign or seal the deal, did I? You borrowed this money willingly, didn't you? You kept silent when you won, but when you lost, you blamed my gambling house for cheating? Yuan Liulang, if it weren't for your aunt, would our boss have lent you money? I advise you to stop talking nonsense and quickly raise the money to pay off your gambling debts!"

The onlookers also blamed Yuan Liulang.

"Serves him right. How many good people are there among these bad gamblers? He's probably just addicted to gambling. If he wins, he wants to win more. If he loses, he wants to get his money back. How many people can trust what this gambler says?"

"They belong to the Cheng family of Bozhou. I think they're no different from ruffians! Although this Qianjin Casino is a mixed bag, I've never heard of the dealer cheating!"

"Oh, Yuan Liulang won nearly a thousand taels earlier! He's just greedy, who can he blame?"

"Yuan Liulang, hurry home and raise money!"

The sky was bright and the crowds of people were bustling. Yuan Jing was sober now, but his mind was still confused. He just hoped that everything last night was just a dream!

How did he sign the loan agreement without thinking?
It's over. He's really finished this time.

There is no need to fight with the Wen family. The old aunt hates gamblers the most. If she knew that he lost several thousand taels of silver in gambling, she would probably use family rules!
Yuan Jing didn't know how he walked back to the house.

He only knew that the sky had fallen.
