Jiang Xiangru smiled wryly, "I'm afraid I won't even be able to get the half of the money out, thank you for your kindness, young man, I really don't want to play any more." Lu Jingcheng spread his hands, "Auntie, I noticed just now that you seem to be from the ** Borrowed by usury, if you stop now, I'm afraid they will collect the debt from your family?"
This sentence hit Jiang Xiangru's sore spot. Lu Jingcheng was right. The 10 million he just borrowed was almost lost. If he didn't make it, they would definitely call Xu Rongsheng to collect the debt, and she also knew Xu Rongsheng's debt. As a human being, in order not to let this matter spread, he probably doesn't care about himself, and he will be the one who will be in trouble at that time.
"Boy, I'm really unlucky today. If you really want to play, please do it yourself. I really can't accompany you."
"Please -" Lu Jingcheng said with a smile.
As soon as Jiang Xiangru left the hall, two ** staff members followed up and said with a blank expression: "Ma'am, we have specially prepared a guest room for you, please come with us."
Jiang Xiangru's heart sank, knowing that she couldn't leave, she simply followed them to the hotel on the top floor and stayed in the guest room, while those two people naturally guarded the door. It means that if you don't pay back the money, you won't leave.
After walking back and forth in the room for a few times, Jiang Xiangru took out her mobile phone, found Zhao Xiaorui's number and dialed it.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is empty, please check and dial again..."
Jiang Xiangru hangs up the phone in doubt, and then dials again, but what she hears is the same notification tone. A cold air rushed from the soles of her feet to her forehead, how could it be an empty number? Could it be...
An ominous premonition swept Jiang Xiangru's heart instantly, and she faintly realized that she might be deceived!
what to do? what to do!
Jiang Xiangru was in such a state of disarray that she walked up and down the room in disbelief.
Call Xu Rongsheng
no! She could tell that if Xu Rongsheng found out about the usury she owed from gambling, maybe he would immediately file for a divorce in order to preserve his reputation, so that he would not have to pay back a penny for himself.
Tell Nianyi
It doesn't seem to work, she knows how much money Nian Yi has in her hand, she simply can't afford so much money to pay off her debts, and maybe Nian will tell Xu Rongsheng about it later, and then return to the first road, obviously It doesn't work.
Who is this Zhao Xiaorui? What on earth is she trying to do
Jiang Xiangru anxiously only scratched her hair, and carefully recalled the things after she met Zhao Xiaorui, only then did she notice that there seemed to be amazing coincidences in everything, as if it had been planned in advance.
But why did she do such a trick to frame herself? Does she have any deep hatred for herself
bang bang bang—
A knock on the door interrupted Jiang Xiangru's wild thoughts. She stabilized her emotions and said calmly, "Please come in—"
The door was pushed open, and the waiter who had handled the loan shark for her came in.
"Hello, Ms. Jiang, I want to talk to you about the loan." The waiter bowed slightly, with a respectful attitude.
Jiang Xiangru glanced at him coldly, "What? Worried that I will renege on my debt?"
"I didn't mean that. It's just that Ms. Jiang, you seem to have lost all the money you borrowed. As the company's financial staff, I have the responsibility to be responsible for the debts I have released."
"Who said I'm done losing?" Jiang Xiangru took out a receipt for temporarily storing chips from her bag, "I still have more than one million chips, but I'm not lucky right now, and I want to take a break before continuing, don't you?" Is it too early to worry?"
"I'm sorry, then I wish Ms. Jiang a successful start, and I'm leaving." The waiter bowed politely, and then exited the room.
Jiang Xiangru let out a long breath, but soon became worried again.
Since this is a game that has been planned for a long time, the chance of a comeback is absolutely infinitely close to zero. It is tantamount to wishful thinking to expect to win back the lost money with more than one million chips in hand.
what to do? Jiang Xiangru was completely confused at this time, and couldn't think of a way out.
Just walking back and forth in the room for more than an hour, Jiang Xiangru decided to put all his eggs in one basket. If he lost the more than one million chips in his hand, at least he could know what kind of means they would use to deal with it. Own.
After making a decision, Jiang Xiangru washed her face, put on makeup, and came to the casino again.
Looking around, several staff members in the hall cast their eyes on her intentionally or unintentionally, and she knew that it was absolutely impossible for her to leave here.
Knowing this, she decided to go all out, sat down on the edge of the gaming table, and started to place bets.
Although Jiang Xiangru was very careful, she still lost the last one million chips after an hour, and now she is penniless.
Just when she left the gaming table and wanted to go back to the guest room on the top floor, the waiter appeared in front of her again.
"Ms. Jiang, I think it's time for us to talk about repaying the debt?"
"It's only 10 million, are you afraid that I won't pay you back?" Jiang Xiangru bit the bullet to put on a facade for herself, "I'm a little tired now, I don't want to talk about this matter, I'll take a break, and let the country send money to you tomorrow. "
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Ms. Jiang is indeed a trustworthy person, so I can rest assured. After all, if I can't collect this debt, I will probably be thrown into the Mekong River by my boss."
What he said seemed to be self-deprecating, and he seemed to be warning Jiang Xiangru about the consequences of not being able to repay the debt. Hearing that, Jiang Xiangru felt chills in his heart.
*
Xu Nianyi dialed Jiang Xiangru's phone anxiously, but the same notification sound kept coming from the phone, "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."
Although this was not the first time that Jiang Xiangru couldn't be contacted, she still had a faint feeling that something was wrong. According to her mother, she has been engaged in financial investment recently, and it seems that she has made a lot of money. But she still doesn't believe that her mother can make a fortune in China's financial market, and she always feels that this matter is weird in every way.
She also mentioned that she would go to observe and study with Jiang Xiangru, but Jiang Xiangru refused for various reasons. If she was really into finance, why didn't she let herself witness it
Now that Jiang Xiangru lost contact again, Xu Nian connected all these doubts. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her mother might be in danger.
So she picked up the phone again and called Xu Rongsheng.
"Dad, Mom hasn't been home for a day, can you say hello to the police and fix her cell phone?"
Xu Rongsheng was silent for a while, and then said impatiently: "Nian Yi, last time you forced me to say hello to the police, and the result? Did she come back safely in the end? You were just too nervous about her, she's fine."
"Dad—you don't seem to care about Mom at all? She has no news, and she can't get through the phone. She is your wife!"
"Nian Yi, first of all, as a mayor, there are so many official duties waiting for me to handle, I can't always be distracted by such trivial matters, can I?"
"My mother lost contact now, why is it a trivial matter?" Xu Nianyi said patiently, "How can a mayor who doesn't even care about his wife care about the citizens?"
"Read one!" Xu Rongsheng's tone was obviously displeased, "Your mother, you also know that she has not told me in advance what she has done for so many years? It was like this last time. We were very anxious, but she was flat in the end. An'an came back, and just said lightly that I went on an outing, do you think I should be as anxious as last time?"
"But—" Xu Nianyi couldn't find the words to refute for a while.
"Don't be so, read one, she is like this, she is used to being arbitrary, she never thinks about others when she does things, maybe she went on a picnic again this time, don't worry too much, she might come back later."
After Xu Rongsheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, making Xu Nianyi a little dumbfounded. Now she can finally understand what her mother said. The marriage of these two people really exists in name only. One doesn't care about his significant other, and the other simply pretends that the other half doesn't exist. Is it necessary to maintain such a marriage
Xu Nianyi walked back and forth anxiously in the yard, raised his hand to look at his watch from time to time, and looked out on the road, but he never saw Jiang Xiangru coming back.
It wasn't until it was getting darker and the hour hand on the watch gradually pointed to twelve that Xu Nianyi picked up the phone again and called Xu Rongsheng.
"Dad, why aren't you off work yet?"
"Oh, the government (harmonious) government has an urgent work meeting to hold, and I won't be going back today."
"Mom hasn't come home yet, can you—"
"Nian Yi, don't worry, didn't your mother come back after spending the night outside last time? She's not a child at that age, she's fine."
Hearing Xu Rongsheng's nonchalant tone, Xu Nianyi felt a chill in his heart, and hung up the phone in disappointment without saying a word.
