Chapter 371 Lin Xi Han Bing was filled with both hatred and heartache. She asked herself, why, why was her son so unreasonable? Was it a debt from a past life? She no longer had the strength to scold him. *Gulp!* Han Bing's turn completely captivated Zhao Rong. Looking at Han Bing standing with her back to him beside the desk, her alluring and voluptuous silhouette, especially her round, plump buttocks, revealed in her light
yellow tight skirt, even from three or four meters away, Zhao Rong seemed to already smell the forbidden scent beneath the skirt. For a moment, Zhao Rong's gaze went blank, a strong urge rising within him to rush forward and embrace Han Bing, pressing his nose against her full buttocks, feeling that softness, that greedy breath. Then he imagined that in that unexpected moment, Han Bing's instinctive reaction would definitely be a soft moan. That moan would be the most beautiful sound in the world. Then Han Bing would struggle desperately, but he wouldn't let her break free. He held her waist tightly with both hands, rubbing his nose, mouth, and all his facial features against her buttocks while whispering words of admiration… Having worked in the fashion world, Han Bing's style was usually quite avant-garde. Although she was a mother of three and in her forties, her work required her to interact with high-end clients, so she always maintained strict standards for her figure, appearance, taste, and vision. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. If she didn't improve her own qualities, it would be difficult to find common ground with some clients. Without common ground, there's no way to communicate. As a successful salesperson, to sell your product, the most important thing is to accurately find the entry point. And the only way to find the entry point is to understand the other party. Only by understanding their needs can you know yourself and your enemy. In short, be friends first, then sell. These days, Han Bing worked in the store and rested there as well. Today, she was wearing a light yellow tube dress underneath a white blazer, and black stockings that hugged her shapely, long legs.
Overall, she looked elegant, sexy, and incredibly feminine. Zhao Rong couldn't help but swallow hard. "Auntie, you absolutely can't ignore Fang Zhong. If you don't, he's doomed this time,"
Zhao Rong said hypocritically, staring at Han Bing's stockinged legs. "Manage! How can I manage? I can't possibly manage it. A million? Where would I get that much money?" "You still have to do something about him. You can't just give up completely. He really knows he was wrong this time, and he'll definitely change his ways." "He wasn't like this after the incident. I've given up all hope for him. You can leave now. I won't give him a single penny this time." "This—" Just as Zhao Rong was at her wit's end, Fang Qiong and the other two women burst into the office. "Mom, has my brother gotten into trouble again?" "Qiong, you're finally here! You need to persuade Auntie. If she doesn't save your brother, he's really going to die this time." "Zhao Rong, what happened to my brother?!" "Your brother cheated at the casino and he's been caught." "What! Why is he gambling again? What happened? Explain yourself." The three women were shocked to hear this. Fang Qiong had originally planned to tell her mother a surprise, so her mother could finally relax and not worry about her brother. But before she could even share the good news, she received bad news first. "One million? Where would we get that much money!" Hearing Zhao Rong's words, Fang Qiong felt like the sky was falling. Her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Brother, why do you always cause trouble?" "Sister..." "That spendthrift son deserves to die! Zhao Rong, tell me, did you instigate him to gamble again?" Hearing this, Zhao Rong almost jumped up. "Aunt Xue, I didn't. I even tried to persuade him this time."
"You persuaded him!" Han Xue sneered. "Don't I know what kind of person you are? Your father is no good, and you're no good either. Every time Fang Zhong gets into trouble, you've got your hands on him." "I... I really didn't." "You didn't? Nobody believes that. Sister! This unfilial son deserves to die. I think we should let him die on his own this time! It'll be easier for him to die and save us from being a burden." "Why are you here?" Han Bing turned around. "She said Xiaoqiong had found him a job, and she was coming here to surprise you, but unexpectedly—sigh!" "A job? What job?" "What's the use of talking about this now?" Fang Qiong wiped away her tears and looked up, saying, "Mom, what should we do!" "What should we do? Didn't your aunt say..." "You really want my brother to die? He's our only son, you have to think of something!"
"What can I do? A million? Do we have that much money?" Han Bing looked up, closed her eyes, and sighed deeply. "Otherwise, let's talk to them first and see if we can—" "Talk about what? No matter how much we talk, we can't come up with that much money. What is he? You two know him, he's a bottomless pit, never to be filled. If we save him this time, there will be a next time, and if we save him next time, there will be a next time. So, the three of us are destined to be burdened by him for the rest of our lives? Then let's just die together." Hearing Han Bing say such harsh words, the two sisters cried even more bitterly. Han Xue shook her head, tears streaming down her face, and choked out, "Sister, please don't say that." "Mom, you can't be so heartless. No matter what, our eldest brother is still our family. If we don't save him, who will? Are we really going to let him die?" Hearing her second daughter say such a thing, Han Bing turned around abruptly, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm heartless! I'm heartless!" Han Xue frowned deeply. "Xiao Qing, is that even human? Your mother worked so hard to raise you three sisters. To avoid upsetting you, she didn't remarry. She worked tirelessly day and night, bringing back the best food for you, even if she couldn't bear to eat it herself. What was she doing all this for? Wasn't it all for you? To say she's heartless is like stabbing her in the heart! If she were heartless, she would have married and become a wealthy woman long ago, living a carefree life."
"Why say all this? I'm a heartless mother. You two are all grown up now. If you're so capable, go save that beast. I can't help you." "Mom, we know we were wrong..." The three women hugged each other, sobbing uncontrollably. Zhao Rong's small eyes darted between the three women, and he suddenly noticed Han Xue looking at him. He quickly lowered his head and behaved himself. He was afraid of Han Xue because she worked at the hotel and knew some people. Han Xue patted Han Bing on the back, "Sister, don't cry yet. Xiao Qing is right. He's family after all. If we don't save him, who will care about his life or death? This is the last time. We'll do our best, and if it doesn't work, we'll leave it to fate." Turning her head, Han Xue glared at Zhao Rong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Zhao Rong, how could Fang Zhong lose so much money?"
"I don't know either." "You dare say you don't know?" "I—" "Didn't you say he cheated? What did he use to cheat?" "It seems to be a transparent contact lens." "What about the million? Did he win it, or was it a ransom from the casino?" Han Xue's face turned cold, "...You won't talk, huh! Do you want me to find someone to pry your mouth open?" Zhao Rong trembled, "He cheated and won 500,000. The casino people wanted to cut off his hand, but he said he was willing to pay back a million and asked the casino people not to cut off his hand." "He really has money!" Han Bing sneered. "What about the money he won?!" Han Xue knew that cheating in a casino meant having your hands and feet cut off. Since the other party was willing to agree to this condition, it seemed there was still room for negotiation. "He...he used it all up." "What!" Upon hearing this, the four women were shocked. Fang Qiong said, "Five hundred thousand? He used it all up? My God, how did he spend it all?" "I'm not quite sure either. He said...he slept with a few minor celebrities, and then it was all gone." Hearing this, the women almost died of anger. "You unfilial son!" "Where is he now?" "Hongda Arcade." "Get out." "Oh!" Zhao Rong stood up, turned around, and ran out. Han Xue turned back to look at Han Bing. "Sister, how much money do you have left?" Han Bing sighed. "I only have two hundred and fifty thousand. Originally, this money was saved for my two sisters' dowries, but now—this beast! How could I have given birth to such a thing? I'll be driven to my death by him one day."
"Mom!" Fang Qiong and Fang Qing exchanged a glance. "We don't want any dowry." "I have 200,000." "How can we use your money?" "Don't say that." Han Xue waved her hand. "We're still short 550,000. Where are we going to borrow it?" "I have 8,000." "I have 12,000." The two sisters said. Han Bing patted the two sisters' heads. "Keep your money for yourselves! Here's what we'll do: I'll borrow 50,000 from someone, making it 500,000." "We're still short 500,000!" "That's enough. This time, he should be taught a lesson." "You mean... how will he survive with only one hand?" "Why can't he survive? Others are born disabled and still live. Besides, where are we going to get another 500,000? It's settled then. If he doesn't learn his lesson, he'll cause trouble again." "Mom, please think of another way. If we really cut off my brother's hand, he'll be in a lot of pain." "
Xiao Qiong, it's not that Mom doesn't want to find a way, it's just that we really have no other options." Fang Qiong lowered her head, bit her lip, and gritted her teeth. "I'll go find someone to borrow from." "You!" Upon hearing this, Fang Qing, Han Bing, and Han Xue all looked at Fang Qiong. "Who are you going to borrow from?" "Never mind that." After saying that, Fang Qiong ran out. "Sister, wait for me." Han Bing looked at Han Xue in confusion. "I know, she must have gone to see him," Han Xue suddenly said. "Who?" "Lin Xi, a guest in our hotel's presidential suite." "Lin Xi!" "What, you know him?" Han Bing shook her head; she didn't know if this Lin Xi was the same Lin Xi as the other one. "Would that Lin Xi lend her money?"
"I don't know, maybe!" Chapter 372 Mr. Lin, Hello! Han Bing shook her head; she didn't know if this Lin Xi was the same Lin Xi as the other one. "Would that Lin Xi lend her money?"
"I don't know, maybe!" "Sigh!" "Sis!" Han Xue patted Han Bing's shoulder. "Don't sigh. What's done is done; there's no use saying anything now. Let's split up and go get the money." "That's the only way." Walking out of the chain store, Han Xue got into a taxi. Cheng Changjiang was drinking and bragging with some buddies at a bar when his phone suddenly rang. "Hello!"
"Old Cheng, are you free now?" "Han Xue!" Upon receiving Han Xue's call, Cheng Changjiang was greatly surprised and jumped up, unable to contain his delight, "Why are you calling me!" "Let's not talk about that, where are you now?" "..." %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% "You already miss me after just a few days."
Zhuo Ruzhi pouted on the other end of the phone, "Who misses you? Didn't you say you were coming to Fengdu? Why aren't you here yet!" "You say you don't miss me, haha." "It's not me who misses you, it's my mom." "Your mom! Your mom has never seen me, why would she miss me!" "Forgot? Didn't you say you wanted to try my mom's cooking? I already told my mom about you, and she agreed that you can come to our house anytime." "Oh! I thought..." "Thought what?" "Nothing, nothing. You haven't told your mom about us, have you?" "Not yet, but she seems to have figured it out." "You didn't say how she figured it out?" "My mom's a police officer, she's very observant. What, you don't want her to know about our relationship?"
"How could that be? I'm just afraid your mom won't approve!" "No, she's very open-minded. Besides, we're not related, what's there to be afraid of? Hey, when are you coming?" "Soon, I'll come to see you in a few days." Meng Jingyun was saying this when she heard the sound of the living room door opening. "Okay, I'll wait for you." "I have to go now, I have something to do." Just as she hung up the phone, Meng Jingyun saw Fang Qiong and her sister walk in. "Xiao Fang, you're back so soon? Weren't you at your mother's?" Meng Jingyun stood up as she spoke, about to say something, when she noticed that the two women looked unwell, their eyes red. "What's wrong? Were you crying? What happened?" "Mr. Lin." The two women exchanged a glance, looking hesitant. Fang Qiong had thought of many excuses to
borrow money from Lin Xi on the way, but at the crucial moment, her mind went blank. Thinking back, they had only known each other for a few days, and she was asking for 500,000 yuan right off the bat. 500,000 yuan! That was no small amount. How could she convince Lin Xi that she was only based on their relationship of just a few days? "Come and sit down!" Meng Jingyun beckoned. He was quite certain that the two women had something on their minds. Fang Qiong pulled her sister and sat down opposite Meng Jingyun. Regardless of the outcome, whether Lin Xi lends the money or not, Fang Qiong felt she should try, because she had no other choice. She had to be the one to ask; her sister and Lin Xi had barely met or spoken. Besides, given Fang Qing's personality, she would absolutely be too embarrassed to ask. Meng Jingyun picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the two women, then leaned back in her mahogany chair, smiling as she looked at the two sisters sitting on pins and needles. "Since you've chosen to come to me, don't hold back, tell me."
Time was of the essence. Fang Qiong glanced at her sister, then looked up at Meng Jingyun, pursing her lips. Meng Jingyun picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at Fang Qiong questioningly. "Speak up, Fang, this isn't like you. You've always been so generous. What's wrong with you today? Don't stammer, or I'm leaving." "Mr. Lin, I want to borrow money from you." "Oh! So you want to borrow money. I thought it was something serious that was bothering you. Hehe, tell me, how much do you want to borrow?" "Five hundred thousand." Meng Jingyun glanced at the two women and put down his teacup. The two women's hearts jumped. Meng Jingyun picked up the purple clay teapot and poured tea into their cups. "What for?" "Urgent." "I know you need it urgently. I'm asking what you need it for. Well, I can lend you the money, but I should at least know what you're going to do with it, right?" Meng Jingyun was very interested. What did these two sisters want to borrow so much money from him for?
"To save my brother." So, Fang Qiong told Meng Jingyun the whole story. "Alright, I can lend you the money." "Really!" The two women were overjoyed. "However!" Meng Jingyun's tone shifted, "How do I know you're not just making up an excuse to fool me?" "
Mr. Lin, I'm absolutely—" Meng Jingyun waved his hand to interrupt Fang Qiong, "Don't be in such a hurry. How about this, I'll go with you. If I find out you're not lying to me, I'll lend you the money, how about that?" Hearing this, Fang Qiong was overjoyed. Lin Xi was deliberately helping them. "Thank you, thank you so much!"
"Xiaoxue, don't worry!" Cheng Changjiang patted his chest. "As long as I, Cheng Changjiang, am here, they absolutely won't dare to touch you. I know Hongda; that's Xu Qiang's territory. We know each other." Han Xue forced a smile. "Then thank you so much." "What are you thanking me for? You're too polite. What kind of relationship do we have? We're old classmates and colleagues. If you really want to thank me, don't keep avoiding me. You know how I feel about you." "Hehe! Let's go!" Cheng Changjiang was the security manager of Fengyue Hotel. Many years ago, when he was still in high school, he had liked Han Xue, but he had never been able to win her over. He dropped out of high school and started working, while Han Xue excelled academically and was admitted to a key provincial university. At that time, the two lost contact. But unexpectedly, they met again many years later. Han Xue was really surprised that Cheng Changjiang had become the security manager of a five-star hotel. To be honest, she was quite impressed with Cheng Changjiang at that time. But after spending some time with him, she discovered that this young man was riddled with bad habits and associated very closely with some shady characters. He seemed to have no redeeming qualities other than indulging in pleasure, violence, and gambling. So gradually, Han Xue began to distance herself from Cheng Changjiang. However, Cheng Changjiang was deeply in love with Han Xue. After not seeing her for many years, he found her to have matured and become more beautiful, radiating a woman's allure. Therefore, from the moment they reunited, he began a relentless pursuit. But Han Xue remained indifferent to him, and every time he saw this beautiful woman before him, he felt restless and tormented. So, he never expected that Han Xue would take the initiative to ask him for help this time. Cheng Changjiang secretly resolved to perform well and show Han Xue his abilities, proving that although he hadn't received much formal education, he could still achieve great success. Han Xue and Cheng Changjiang arrived at the shop first. "Is the money ready?" Han Bing nodded. "Yes, it's ready. Why aren't they here yet?" She glanced anxiously at her watch. "They should be here soon. I called on the way here, and Xiao Qiong said she'd be here soon." "Did you borrow the money?" "She didn't say." "This girl. And who is this?" "Oh! Let me introduce you. His name is Cheng Changjiang, and he's the security manager of our hotel." Han Xue introduced. "Hello!" Han Bing extended her hand. Seeing Han Bing, Cheng Changjiang's eyes almost popped out of his head. "Hehe, hello, sister-in-law, you're so beautiful."
"What sister-in-law? She's my own sister." "Hehe!" Cheng Changjiang scratched his head dumbfounded. "Come here!" Han Bing pulled Han Xue aside. "What's going on? Why did you call him here?" Although Han Bing didn't know Cheng Changjiang, she had heard her sister talk about them. "You still dare to talk? Don't you think about it? We're all women. What kind of place is a casino? Is it a place just anyone can go? What if they detain us?" "You're so thoughtful, but asking him for help is—" "I can't worry about that now. He's the only friend I have who's involved in the underworld. With him around, at least we can have some courage." Han Bing glanced at her sister and sighed, "I'm sorry to trouble you." "What are you saying? Don't worry, I can handle him." "Mr. Cheng, thank you so much for your help this time." "Hehe, it's no trouble at all. Xiaoxue and I are classmates. Her business is my business. Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll take care of it. With me here, they definitely won't dare to touch you." Han Bing glanced at her sister, "Alright, it's up to you now." "Let's go downstairs and wait!" Night fell. The shop operated on an eight-hour shift system, with one manager and four female employees. Han Bing and her sister left the office and went down to the first-floor sales area. The two employees were greeting customers. Han Bing led her sister and Cheng Changjiang to the rest room to wait. Just as Han Bing was about to make a phone call, a black extended Mercedes-Benz pulled up outside the store. "Coming, coming," Han Xue pointed outside. Han Bing turned her head and saw two women and a man getting out of the car through the glass window. She was surprised to find that this Lin Xi was indeed the same person as that Lin Xi. Cheng Changjiang already knew that Fang Qiong and the other two women had gone to borrow money from a friend. To be honest, when he learned about this, his first reaction was that he should pay for it, because Han Xue would definitely be even more grateful to him. However, he really couldn't come up with 500,000 yuan all at once. But thinking that he could stand up for Han Xue this time, he was also very happy. But what was this young man all about? Cheng Changjiang looked at Meng Jingyun getting out of the car. "Mr. Lin, this is it." Meng Jingyun got out of the car, casually closed the door, buttoned his suit jacket, and followed the two women into the store. "Mom, this is—" Fang Qiong hadn't finished speaking when Han Bing interrupted, "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
Meng Jingyun looked closely and happily grasped Han Bing's hand. He truly hadn't expected that Han Bing was actually the mother of Fang Qiong and her sister. Could this be fate? He was so surprised. "Yes! Sister Bingbing. It's so nice to see you again." "Mom, do you know each other?" "Yes, we met a few days ago." Han Bing smiled as well. "Really! That's wonderful! Mr. Lin has agreed to lend us money, and he's even going to go with us to rescue my older brother." Hearing this, Han Bing smiled awkwardly. "Mr. Lin, thank you so much." Han Bing said gratefully. Upon seeing Meng Jingyun, Han Bing felt relieved. "Sister Bingbing, you're too kind. We're friends, it was nothing." Han Xue laughed from the side, "With Mr. Lin's help, Fang Zhong has escaped death again."
"Oh, who is this?" Meng Jingyun smiled at Han Xue. "This is my sister, Han Xue, she works at Fengyue." "Oh! Sister Bingbing, you have such a beautiful sister? I never expected your whole family to be so beautiful..." "Where did this brat come from!" Cheng Changjiang glanced coldly at Meng Jingyun, inwardly furious. Meng Jingyun's arrival attracted the attention of all four beauties. Originally, Han Xue had asked him for help, but now she had sidelined him, saying things as if as long as this Mr. Lin was there, all difficulties could be solved, and he was no longer needed. "So what if he has some money? He's just a pretty boy." "Xiaoxue, do you mean Mr. Lin is going too?" "Yes!" "I think he shouldn't go." Upon hearing Cheng Changjiang's words, everyone was stunned. "Why?" ***Chapter 373 Fat Wave "I think he shouldn't go." Upon hearing Cheng Changjiang's words, the women were stunned. "Why?" They didn't understand. Wouldn't it be better to have Lin Xi's help? Why did Cheng Changjiang say this? In Han Bing's mind, he knew that Lin Xi was Zhang Xueqin's boyfriend. Who was Zhang Xueqin? She was the apple of the eye of Secretary Zhang of the Provincial Party Committee. Lin Xi's abilities were naturally beyond question. Even if Lin Xi relied on Zhang Xueqin's influence, he dared to openly challenge the young master of the Far East Group, Xinghuang Group, and Fengdu, two giants. It was clear that his confidence was extraordinary and he was not an ordinary person. In Han Xue's eyes, although she didn't know Lin Xi well, she knew that he was a friend of their hotel's General Manager Ye. Who is this Ms. Ye? She's the daughter of the head of the Fengyue Hotel Group. Someone Ms. Ye calls a friend must have considerable influence. In Fang Qiong's eyes, Lin Xi is a high-ranking executive at the Changhong Group. His men are all highly skilled. A boss who can manage such powerful figures must be a hidden master. Although she hadn't witnessed Lin Xi's skills, she was certain the man before her was no ordinary person. Seeing the four women's questioning gazes, Cheng Changjiang knew that if he didn't provide a reasonable explanation, it would definitely arouse their suspicion. "You haven't been in the underworld, so you don't understand the rules. Fang Zhong is currently being held captive by the casino, and we're going to ransom him, not to fight. At this crucial moment, tensions will inevitably rise, and a slight misstep could escalate the situation. Therefore, it's best not to send too many people. If we do, they'll doubt our sincerity, and Fang Zhong will be in danger. That's why I didn't bring any men."
It must be said that Cheng Changjiang's words made sense, but they didn't reflect the reality of the situation. He was right that too many people shouldn't go, but was adding Lin Xi really too many? Two men and four women—if that could make the other side feel threatened, then it just meant their abilities were truly lacking. Although the four women felt Cheng Changjiang's words were reasonable but not sensible, they couldn't find a reason to refute him. They felt Cheng Changjiang was making a mountain out of a molehill, and that his purpose was clearly ulterior motives. They felt very uncomfortable because they had high hopes for Lin Xi's abilities. Seeing the women's troubled attitude, Cheng Changjiang continued confidently, "Don't worry, I know the people at Hongda's place very well. With me here, I guarantee you'll be safe." "What if something happens!" Fang Qiong blurted out. Fang Qiong's words were inappropriate, containing an element of doubt about Cheng Changjiang's abilities. However, the other three women agreed. They also wanted to say the same thing, but out of politeness, they didn't want to hurt Cheng Changjiang's feelings. Cheng Changjiang looked at Fang Qiong, his expression somewhat unpleasant. "What if something happens? Do you think he can solve it?"
Fang Qiong scoffed, "More people, more strength!" "Fine, go if you want, but let me make this clear: if anything happens, I'm not responsible."
With that, he snorted and walked out. Throughout the entire journey, Meng Jingyun remained silent. Cheng Changjiang led the way in his Toyota sedan, with Fang Qiong following behind. Meng Jingyun sat in the passenger seat, while Han Xue, Han Bing, and Fang Qing sat in the spacious back. Meng Jingyun feigned sleep the entire way, while the three women in the back kept whispering amongst themselves, their conversation unclear. Meng Jingyun knew without guessing that Han Xue was asking her sister, Han Bing, about his identity. "Young Master Zhou, everything's arranged. When they arrive, they definitely won't be able
to pay . We'll put pressure on them, and then you can step in as the hero and win their hearts." "What if they don't come?" "No problem, I've planned that. If only his mother comes, we'll detain her and then notify them. We're not afraid they won't come." "Okay!" At the entrance of the Grand Arcade. "Let me make this clear first: once you're inside, don't say a word. Just listen to me, understand?"
The women nodded. "Especially you, you'd better hold your breath." Cheng Changjiang pointed at Meng Jingyun coldly. Meng Jingyun smiled indifferently. Han Xue glanced at Meng Jingyun. Through her sister, she now knew Meng Jingyun's identity. If she had known Fang Qiong could bring this person here, she wouldn't have bothered to ask Cheng Changjiang for help, incurring a favor in the process. Seeing the faint expression on Meng Jingyun's face, Han Xue finally understood that truth. Truly capable people never deliberately flaunt their abilities. In their daily lives, they are no different from ordinary people, even quite ordinary, neither arrogant nor haughty, possessing exceptional charisma and refinement. It is often those without ability who deliberately expose their skills. They are always pretentious, like to put on airs, make a mountain out of a molehill, easily belittle and deny others, afraid that others will underestimate them. Cheng Changjiang was exactly like that; he started making demands before even offering help. Such people are so annoying and pretentious. As they entered the arcade, Zhao Rong greeted them. He glanced at Cheng Changjiang and Meng Jingyun before heading straight to Han Bing and the other women. "Aunt Bing, you've finally arrived," he said, leading the way. Following Zhao Rong, the six of them descended the stairs to the basement, turning several corners with game posters plastered on the walls, finally arriving at the casino lobby. Unlike the bustling, smoky scenes in movies, the casino was quiet and the air was fresh. Guests at each table were calmly placing bets and increasing stakes. Waiters carried trays of drinks back and forth. "It's inside," Zhao Rong pointed to the door behind two tall men standing with their hands behind their backs, then stepped out. Meng Jingyun glanced at the four women; they were clearly nervous, their expressions unnatural, their eyes darting around, and they kept a close distance behind her. After all, this was a casino, and it was their first time there. "You wait here, I'll go in first," Cheng Changjiang said sternly. Let alone the four women, Cheng Changjiang was also feeling uneasy. Saying he had a good relationship with Xu Qiang was just boasting, which was understandable; men often like to brag a little in front of women. In reality, Cheng Changjiang and Xu Qiang had only met once. It was at a dinner party a long time ago. It was Xu Qiang's birthday, and Cheng Changjiang's older brother, Hua Zi, had brought a group of his underlings to congratulate him. They had exchanged glances during the meal, but that was a long time ago, and Cheng Changjiang didn't know if Xu Qiang remembered him. But it didn't matter; even if Xu Qiang didn't remember him, he should at least recognize his older brother, Hua Zi. Cheng Changjiang thought that as long as he mentioned Hua Zi's name, Xu Qiang would at least give him some face. He had heard his older brother Hua Zi say that in the Prince Gang, he and Xu Qiang both worked for Brother Quan, and Brother Quan's boss was Sang Biao, so they were brothers. In the underworld, when introducing himself, Cheng Changjiang always liked to jokingly say that he worked for Sang Biao. That wasn't entirely wrong, but there was a generational gap between them. "Don't be afraid, everything will be alright." Meng Jingyun turned back and smiled at the four women. Just as Cheng Changjiang approached the door, it suddenly slammed open from the inside, and a dozen burly men walked out. The leader was a large, fat man with a long, narrow scar on his round face. His small eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and his thin eyebrows combined with his bald head made his face look shiny and ruthless. This man was Fei Bo, Xu Qiang's subordinate, and he was in charge of the Hongda underground casino. This sight startled Cheng Changjiang. He was stunned. He recognized Fei Bo and wanted to greet him, but he was intimidated by the ruthless aura on Fei Bo's face and couldn't move his feet. He just stood there, forcing an extremely unnatural smile at Fei Bo. Fei Bo glanced at Cheng Changjiang standing in front of him, then shifted his gaze to Meng Jingyun and the others, finally fixing his gaze on Han Bing and the other women. "Did you bring the money?" "Yes, we brought it." Han Bing lifted the briefcase in her hand. "Come in!" Everyone remained still, but all eyes turned to Cheng Changjiang. Feeling a little embarrassed, Cheng Changjiang stepped forward. "Brother Bo, we're all on the same side." "Who are you?" "I don't remember. You really have a bad memory. We met at Brother Qiang's birthday party last time. I'm with Brother Hua." "Hua Zi!" Fei Bo lowered his head, thought for a moment, then turned and went inside. Cheng Changjiang smiled and waved, signaling Meng Jingyun and the others to follow. "Brother Bo, you've gotten even fatter since I last saw you." "What's your relationship with them?" As soon as they entered the room, Cheng Changjiang saw Fang Zhong hiding under the table. The boy's eyes were glazed over, and he was trembling. Cheng Changjiang quickly followed Fei Bo and laughed, "Hey, actually, it's nothing much. It's just that this kid's aunt is my classmate. I didn't want to help him, but you know, in the underworld, there are certain things you have to refuse—" "Brother Qiang, they're here." Fei Bo stopped in front of Xu Qiang and nodded. "Brother Qiang, do you still recognize me? I'm Xiao Cheng, from Brother Hua's place. Last time you—" Cheng Changjiang trailed off, unable to finish his sentence. He saw Xu Qiang staring coldly at him, his gaze sending shivers down his spine. He swallowed the rest of his words, smiled, and discreetly stepped aside. But then he noticed Xu Qiang's eyes were still fixed on him. Cheng Changjiang was terrified. He lowered his head, not daring to utter another word. Only when he felt Xu Qiang's gaze finally leave him did Cheng Changjiang finally breathe a sigh of relief. It was then that he realized his back was soaked with sweat. "Brother!" When Fang Qiong and her sister entered and saw Fang Zhong huddled under the table, all their fear transformed into grief. They rushed to Fang Zhong's side. Hearing his sister's voice, Fang Zhong finally came to his senses. "Big sister, second sister, you've finally come! Please save me, save me..." "Brother, it's alright, it's alright, don't get agitated. We'll get you out of here right away. Get up..."
Although they hated Fang Zhong's actions, they were still family, having grown up together for over twenty years, and this bond was unbreakable. Seeing their brother covered in wounds, disheveled, and mentally unstable, the two women couldn't stop their tears. They immediately helped Fang Zhong to their mother, Han Bing. "Mom, I know I was wrong." With a thud, Fang Zhong knelt down before Han Bing. *Slap!* Han Bing slapped Fang Zhong hard, coldly saying, "Why don't you just die!" "Mom, your son knows he was wrong, I'll never gamble again..." Xu Qiang withdrew his gaze from Meng Jingyun's face. "Finished your grievances? If you want to grievances, go back and do it, but the condition is, money!" Xu Qiang waved his hand, and a subordinate immediately stepped forward and snatched the briefcase from Han Bing's hands, placing it on the table for counting. Han Bing wasn't a woman who was stingy with money, but the moment the briefcase was taken away, her legs went weak, and if her sister hadn't caught her quickly, she would have collapsed to the ground. One million—she would spend her whole life saving that. At that moment, she hated her son. The moment Meng Jingyun stepped through the door, Xu Qiang spotted him. It's true what they say, enemies are destined to meet; they hadn't seen each other for only a few days, and they were already face to face again. Meng Jingyun hadn't expected to run into Xu Qiang here again today. Meng Jingyun's appearance was beyond Xu Qiang's expectations. Although he desperately wanted revenge, he had to consider Meng Jingyun's special status. Xu Qiang exchanged a glance with Fei Bo and turned to go into the inner room. ***Chapter 374 I dare to give, do you dare to take? Meng Jingyun's appearance was beyond Xu Qiang's expectations. Although he desperately wanted revenge, he had to consider Meng Jingyun's special status. Xu Qiang exchanged a glance with Fei Bo and turned to go into the inner room. At this moment, Zhou Hao was sitting at a dining table covered with a white tablecloth, eating French cuisine with a knife and fork. Standing behind him was Zhao Jie. "They're here?" "Yes, they're all here." "Oh! You mean the two sisters are here too!" Zhou Hao turned to look at Xu Qiang, intrigued. "Yes! But..." "But what?" "There's another person here." "Who!" "It's that guy surnamed Lin, Zhang Xueqin's boyfriend, Lin Xi." Upon hearing this, Zhou Hao jumped up from his seat, his face ashen. "Why is he here?" "I don't know either. Why would he be here? It shouldn't be!" Zhao Jie's eyes darted around, looking at the two of them with confusion. Who is this Lin Xi? He hadn't heard Zhou Hao mention him beforehand. Could he be some important person? Thinking this, Zhao Jie went to the door and peeked through the peephole. At first glance, Zhao Jie's eyes were fixed on Meng Jingyun's face. He thought this person must be Lin Xi. Then he turned his gaze to Han Bing and the other girls, and once he saw them, he couldn't take his eyes off them. Zhao Jie and Meng Jingyun should have recognized each other at the party, but Meng Jingyun was now Lin Xi. Not only had his name changed, but his appearance had also altered. Otherwise, changing only the name without changing the appearance wouldn't be a true transformation. Given Meng Jingyun's current cultivation level, slightly altering his appearance and height wouldn't be difficult. He had already cultivated the Hunyuan Technique to the fourth realm, the True Qi Realm. True Qi Realm: Essence and Qi coalesce into Qi, coordinating with breath and techniques, causing the entire body—waist, legs, abdomen, back, shoulders, wrists, and hands—to be connected into a unified whole. The muscles and bones are harmonized, taut, and stretched into a single unit. Coordination reaches the limit where a single movement affects the entire body, and a single hair can move the whole body. His leaps are like those of a ferocious tiger, a monkey, or a lion, his essence and Qi reaching their peak. Twisting, stretching, and shifting bones are merely a matter of a shake for him. Of course, this change is limited to a certain range; it's not something that can be changed at will, just some minor adjustments. Zhao Jie has always liked mature women, so when he saw mature and beautiful women like Han Bing and Han Xue, his heart stirred. "This kid is really going against me; he has to meddle in everything I do." Zhou Hao wasn't stupid; after a little thought, he guessed the whole story. Fang Qiong is now the butler of the presidential suite where Lin Xi is staying, so the two are naturally acquainted. So when her brother encountered difficulties, she sought help from Lin Xi. Although she didn't know why Lin Xi stood up for the Fang family, the facts were now clear, and Zhou Hao was furious. Why did Lin Xi always have to oppose him? His carefully designed trap was ruined by Lin Xi's sudden appearance, disrupting his plan to be a hero. If it weren't for his father Zhou Wanquan's instructions, Zhou Hao would definitely have rushed out and killed this meddlesome guy right now. It was precisely because Zhou Wanquan was currently abroad on business that he had to endure and wait. He could only act after Zhou Wanquan returned to China and visited Zhang Xueliang. It was a matter of face. Meng Jingyun's eyes suddenly focused on the cat's eye, and Zhao Jie suddenly felt as if golden light had pierced his eyes. He immediately looked away, but his mind went dark, and his ears were buzzing as if a million bees were flying around. After a long while, he came back to his senses, cold sweat pouring down his face. "Did he know I was watching him?" Zhao Jie shook his head. That feeling was too terrifying, as if he were locked on by the Grim Reaper. Meng Jingyun focused his energy on his ears, and he was aware of everything happening in the room. After a while, Xu Qiang finally came out. "Brother Qiang, one million, not a penny more, not a penny less," Fei Bo whispered in his ear. "Can we leave now?" Han Bing said coldly. "Let's go!" Xu Qiang sneered, "Do you think this casino is a place you can come and go as you please?" Hearing this, Han Bing frowned. "What else do you want?" "Casinos have their rules. Anyone who cheats must leave one hand behind." "Didn't we already give you a million? How can you go back on your word and break your promise?" Han Xue said angrily. Hearing this, Xu Qiang laughed. "Did I say anything? Did I say I wouldn't cut off his hand? I don't think so! A million is just enough to make up for the casino's losses." "You—" Fang Zhong said with a mournful face, "Brother, you can't go back on your word. I only won 500,000 here. My mother has already given you a million. What else do you want? Besides, you just promised me that as long as I give you a million, you won't cut off my hand." "Did I promise you? What a joke. You're the one who insisted on giving me so much money. I didn't promise you anything."
Indeed, Fang Zhong thought back and realized that Xu Qiang hadn't promised him anything. "That's right, you only cheated the casino out of 500,000, but don't you know there's interest involved? Kid, who borrows money without interest these days, especially not me? You easily took 500,000 from us, and now you want to pay it back? You're being too naive! What are we doing in this business? If everyone did it like you, we'd all be out of a job." Xu Qiang's words left Fang Zhong stunned. "Then... then what do you want?" "What do I want? Heh, I don't want anything, I just want your hand." As soon as Xu Qiang finished speaking, two men beside him immediately stepped forward and dragged Fang Zhong away. "No, no, no, you can't cut off my hand, brother..." Fang Zhong collapsed to the ground, slammed back onto the table like a dead dog being dragged away. His right hand was forcibly pulled out and pressed against the table, the axe raised high. "Mom, save me! Mom! Brother, don't cut off my hand! Money, I'll give you money, please spare me..." Struggling, Fang Zhong was so terrified he wet himself, screaming hysterically. Fang Qiong and her sister wanted to rush to their brother's aid, but were stopped by Han Xue and their mother, Han Bing. "Old Cheng, aren't you familiar with them? Speak up!" At this point, Cheng Changjiang was barely able to protect himself, let alone plead for others. He lowered his head, speechless. "Mr. Lin, please save my brother, please help me..." Xu Qiang, of course, didn't intend to cut off Fang Zhong's hand; his aim was to get Fang Qiong and her sister to follow Zhou Hao's orders. He waved his hand, and the henchman holding the axe stepped aside. Xu Qiang smiled at Fang Zhong, "Do you still have money?" Upon hearing this, Fang Zhong immediately blurted out, "Yes, name your price, my mom can afford it!"
"Alright, I'll give you a quick price this time, two million. If you can come up with two million, I won't cut off your hand. How about that, is that price fair?" "Two million!" Fang Zhong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets upon hearing this. "What, didn't you say your mom was very rich? If not, then don't blame me, get to work!"
"Yes, she has it! Don't do it, Mom!" Fang Zhong turned to look at his mother, Han Bing, his bloodshot eyes filled with pleading. "I have no money!" "Mom, please think of something! Your son really knows he was wrong this time, and I will definitely mend my ways." "If you really know you were wrong, then you must bear the consequences of everything you've done." "Heh, it seems your mother is unwilling to spend two million to save you. Don't say I'm not giving you a chance. How about this, your two precious sisters are quite pretty. If they're willing to stay and have dinner with me, I might consider letting you go. What do you say?" Upon hearing this, Fang Qiong and her sister were greatly surprised. But Fang Zhong was overjoyed. "Big sister, second sister, your brother has always been good to you since you were little. Now, you can't just stand by and watch me die!" "Shut up, you beast! Do you even know what you're saying?!" Han Bing was almost furious. Fang Qiong and Fang Qing cried even harder upon hearing their brother's words. At this moment, they finally understood why their mother had given up on their brother. This man saw no one but himself; he was selfish enough to disregard everyone around him. "Mom, Brother Qiang is a big shot! If you two sisters follow him, you'll be on a winning streak! Such a good thing is unattainable..." "Haha, not bad. As long as you agree to my request, we'll be in-laws. You can come to me if you ever have any difficulties." "Don't even think about it! I don't agree." "Mom, you're confused! Sisters, think it over carefully." In Fang Zhong's mind, this was not only an opportunity for self-salvation but also a chance for advancement. "Brother, how could you do this..." Meng Jingyun finally saw the result he hoped for: that everyone would see Fang Zhong's true colors, and that such a person deserved to die. Meng Jingyun patted Fang Qiong and Han Bing on the shoulders to comfort them, then gave Han Xue and Han Bing a reassuring look before stepping forward and smiling, "It's just money, right? I'll pay for it." Meng Jingyun's sudden intervention surprised everyone. For a complete stranger to offer 500,000 yuan to help them was already an immense favor, so while Han Bing and Han Xue knew Lin Xi had the ability, they didn't expect him to help again. Cheng Changjiang was also surprised that this usually silent man had such boldness; two million yuan was no small sum. Xu Qiang had anticipated Lin Xi's intervention, but currently, besides knowing he was Zhang Xueqin's boyfriend, they knew nothing about his true identity. In their eyes, Lin Xi was simply Zhang Xueqin's kept boyfriend, with her paying for everything. Therefore, he might have some money, but definitely no substantial capital. Even if he wanted to help, he could only mention Zhang Xueqin's identity; he certainly couldn't come up with any money. So when Meng Jingyun stepped forward and said he would pay for it, Xu Qiang was quite surprised. He wasn't the only one surprised; Fang Zhong was too. Only then did Fang Zhong notice the man standing next to his sister. Who was he, that he could actually produce two million? Xu Qiang's face turned cold. "Hey Lin, are you really going to stand up for them and save this kid?" Everyone's eyes were focused on Meng Jingyun. He just smiled. "What are you talking about? Save him!" Meng Jingyun glanced at Fang Zhong and shook his head. "You're wrong. I won't save a dog. It's just that I'm friends with these four ladies, so I'm just helping them out." "Why didn't you come out later? Why did you have to come out now!" "You've got the point. The reason I'm only coming out now is to let them see the true face of this dog. Now, you want money, right? Two million, I'll give it to you." With that, Meng Jingyun pulled a platinum credit card from his pocket and handed it to Xu Qiang. "You think this will solve the problem!" "What, so you mean two million is enough? Fine, how much do you want? Name your price. Five million?"
Xu Qiang's facial muscles twitched. "Not enough? Then ten million, or one hundred million." At this point, Meng Jingyun's face suddenly turned cold. "I dare to give it, do you dare to take it?" ***Chapter 375 Sister Bingbing "Mom!" "Don't come looking for me again. From today onwards, I don't have a son like you. We sever our mother-son relationship. I won't care about your affairs anymore." In Han Bing's words, there was no hatred or resentment, only extreme indifference. After saying that, Han Bing resolutely got into the car. "Big sister, second sister, aren't you going to care about me either?" Fang Qiong and Fang Qing looked back at Fang Zhong, said nothing more, and also got into the car. They originally thought that their brother had only made a big mistake because of momentary greed, but now they finally saw clearly that this man was selfish and beyond redemption. "You brought this on yourself!" Meng Jingyun glanced at Fang Zhong, smiled coldly, and clicked open the car door. "Stop right there!" Meng Jingyun turned around. Fang Zhong glared at Meng Jingyun viciously, his sinister eyes filled with intense hatred. "Who do you think you are? What right did you have to insult me just now!" Meng Jingyun frowned, shook his head, and was about to get into the car and leave when Fang Zhong grabbed his clothes. "Don't think I'll be grateful just because you saved me. Don't even think about it! Do you think I don't know what you people are thinking? You only saved me to curry favor with my two younger sisters because they're pretty!" "You're right, but what does it have to do with you now? Let go!" Meng Jingyun flung his hand away, opened the car door, and got in. "Drive!" Fang Zhong pointed at the Mercedes speeding away. "Let me tell you, don't think you can sow discord between us like this. As long as I, Fang Zhong, am here, I won't let you—" But before he could finish the word "success," he felt a powerful force grab his hair and pull him to the ground. Before he could react, his head made intimate contact with a metal pole by the roadside with a loud bang, and blood splattered everywhere. "Mr. Lin, don't worry, even if I don't eat or drink for the rest of my life, I will pay you back." "
Don't eat or drink? Hehe, Sister Bingbing, you don't need to rush to pay back the money. It doesn't matter when you pay it back. Just don't starve yourself to pay me back, or I'll feel guilty." "Mom, don't put all the pressure on yourself. Don't you still have me and my sister? We'll work with you to earn money to pay back Mr. Lin." Hearing this, Han Bing smiled, a smile filled with bitterness and sorrow. However, after today's events, although she was now heavily in debt, she felt incredibly relieved. Before, although she said she wouldn't interfere with Fang Zhong anymore, she could never truly sever this ill-fated relationship. But today, she could finally let go and find peace. From now on, she would live only for her two daughters and for herself. "Sister, you finally smiled! I haven't seen you smile in so long." "Really? I smiled." Han Bing touched her face. "Mr. Lin, thank you so much for today." "It was nothing. Don't call me Mr. Lin, just call me Lin Xi! Words alone aren't enough to thank me."
"That's true, how about—" Han Bing glanced out the car window, smoothing a strand of hair behind her ear, "How about I treat you to dinner? But I'm bankrupt now." "It's okay, a roadside stall is fine, I'm not picky." "How about we go for barbecue, it's so cold." Fang Qing suggested. "And some beer, that would be awesome." Fang Qiong laughed. Everyone agreed when it came to drinking, even Han Bing nodded in agreement. Drinking can release some emotions and help forget some things. "But roadside stalls are too cold, and they're not hygienic either." Han Xue pouted. "I think we should go to my place. The hotel has everything. We can have an outdoor barbecue on the rooftop, singing and dancing under the night sky. Wouldn't that be wonderful!" Han Bing immediately said, "Going to your place is great, but didn't we agree that I'd treat?" "Oh, sister, it doesn't matter who treats you. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. It's rare for Lin Xi to be in such a good mood, so don't be so fussy." "Who's being fussy?" Han Bing hesitated for a moment, "Alright then..." "Yay!" Fang Qiong stepped on the gas, and the Mercedes sped along the dark streets. In less than half an hour, the five of them returned to the Fengyue Grand Hotel. It was Han Bing's first time here, and the luxurious atmosphere of the five-star hotel immediately attracted her attention. They divided up the tasks. Meng Jingyun first took Han Bing and Han Xue to the presidential suite on the top floor by elevator, while the Fang sisters went to the kitchen storage to prepare the barbecue utensils and ingredients. "We're back." The two sisters opened the door, pushing a multi-functional oven into the living room and onto the rooftop garden. "Hey! You didn't even wait for us, you're already drinking!" Upon arriving on the rooftop, the two girls noticed the neon lights flashing on the surrounding grapevines, the atmosphere serene. Under a awning, a table was already set with wine glasses, snacks, and red wine, and their mother, Han Bing, and Han Xue each held a glass of red wine, already sipping it. Han Bing and Han Xue stood up. "Yes! Did you think we'd wait for you two? But the wine has already been poured for you." "Don't wait for us, you drink. We'll drink beer, not red." In no time, the oven's charcoal temperature rose, and various skewers of food were being brought up from the kitchen via the food elevator in the dining room. The food was placed on the rack, brushed with oil, and sizzling drops of oil dripped from the golden-brown, crispy skin and tender meat of the chicken legs onto the charcoal fire. After a few flips and grillings, it was brushed with chili oil, Sichuan peppercorn oil, and various seasonings. In no time, the fragrant aroma wafted across the rooftop. "Fang Qiong, I didn't know you had such a skill!" Meng Jingyun laughed. "Of course! Back in school, whenever we had a picnic, I was always the one grilling for them. Hey, don't drink red wine with barbecue, it's no fun. Drink beer, that's much more enjoyable. Sis, take all the red wine away. Honestly, what's with the fancy stuff?" "Okay, okay, whatever you say." Meng Jingyun smiled and, together with Fang Qing, took the red wine away. When they returned, the table was already set with grilled food: chicken legs, chicken wings, ribs, beef skewers, lamb skewers, chives, tofu skin, fish, pork intestines, meatballs, ham, scallion rolls, mushrooms, potatoes, shrimp, squid, and more—all bright red, golden yellow, and fragrant, looking incredibly appetizing. To be honest, Meng Jingyun's mouth was practically watering. With a snort, Fang Qiong opened a beer bottle and slammed it down in front of them. "Don't use glasses, just chug it straight from the bottle." "This beer's been chilled!" Han Xue said, taking a small sip and covering her mouth. "Of course, what's the point if it's not frozen? It's okay." Fang Qiong picked up a skewer of ribs and handed it to her aunt. "Eat this and you won't feel cold." "Okay, okay." "Auntie, are you from Jiangdu? We Jiangdu people love spicy food. Didn't you used to love hot pot? What's a little spice? Here, Mom, this is for you. Brother Lin, this is for you. Little sister, you like tofu skin, eat, eat, everyone, don't be shy." As she spoke, Fang Qiong picked up a small skewer of beef and shoved it all into her mouth. She swallowed it after a few bites. "Wow, so spicy!" She fanned her mouth, tears streaming down her face. "Hahaha..." She picked up her beer and gulped down several mouthfuls, tears streaming down her face. "Maybe I put too much chili in."
"Hahaha..." The cold wind howled across the rooftop, the charcoal fire in the oven flickered, laughter rang out under the parasol, the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious. Eating the fiery barbecue and drinking the ice-cold beer, chatting and laughing, they didn't feel the cold at all. Not only were they not cold, but they even sweated from eating. They drank the same amount of alcohol and played the same drinking game, but unlike that day, Han Bing's face was no longer restrained, only relaxed and carefree. Before, her son was a worry in her heart. With this worry, she was always cautious and wary of others, wrapping herself up like a block of ice, unable to feel any warmth from the outside world, and believing that she would live her whole life in torment and pain. But now, this worry was gone, and she realized that there were so many happy things in this world, so many people who cared about her and shared her joy. Perhaps, only when you truly learn to let go will you understand that people only gain enlightenment when they overcome difficulties. She was grateful to Lin Xi; it was this man's selfless help that made her understand all of this. Looking at the man before her, laughing and joking with her two daughters, Han Bing was lost in thought. He looked only in his early twenties, yet possessed the elegance and composure of a mature man. Especially when dealing with unexpected situations, he was resourceful, brave, and calm, sometimes refined and reserved, sometimes sharp and assertive, his actions perfectly balanced. He was also very kind and approachable, without a trace of arrogance or impatience, inspiring immense trust and reliance. Although they had only met twice, Han Bing had already developed a fondness for this young man. She knew this fondness wasn't due to Lin Xi's help, but rather to his character and way of handling things, and the long-lost sense of security she felt from him. Meng Jingyun naturally felt the intense gaze directed at him, but he didn't disrupt the atmosphere. Instead, he argued heatedly with Fang Qiong over some trivial matters. "You clearly lost, and you're still cheating." "Who said that? How could I lose? You clearly lost! I said six sixes, I have four sixes, you have two, and you're still arguing." "I didn't have two sixes, I only had one! Look, isn't it one? If you don't want to drink, then don't drink, why twist the facts?" "You cheated! I clearly saw you had two sixes just now, you definitely tampered with it. Sis, you saw it too, right? It clearly had two sixes, he must have bumped it when he opened it." "The facts are right in front of you, nothing you say will change that." "Hurry up and drink." "You—Mom, he bullied me." "Alright, alright, you're bringing up your mother again. A good man doesn't fight with a woman. I'll drink." "You're clearly cheating!" "Again!" "Who's afraid of who? I don't believe I can't get you drunk tonight... Haha, you can't deny it this time, drink up, drink up." Meng Jingyun downed his drink in one gulp and said angrily, "Why am I so unlucky tonight?" "Your gambling skills are bad, whose fault is it! Again!" "No meat left, let's go get some barbecue." "No, I'm going to beat you up." "I'll go!" Fang Qing stood up. "I'll help you." Han Bing also said with a smile. "Sister, you play with them, I'll go." Han Xue pressed her sister back into her seat and went to help Fang Qing. Fang Qiong shook the dice cup, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't dawdle." "No, my luck is too bad." Han Bing rested her chin on her hand and smiled. Fang Qiong raised an eyebrow. "You're not scared, are you?" "Who's scared? It's just that I'm having really bad luck. I need someone to help me roll." "Sure, I'll beat whoever you bring tonight." "Sister Bingbing." "Me!" Han Bing pointed to herself. "I can't." "It's okay. If you lose, you don't have to drink. I'll drink." "Then don't blame me!" "I won't blame you." "Alright!" Han Bing stood up and sat down in Meng Jingyun's seat, while Meng Jingyun moved a chair and sat down beside her. "Mom, hurry up." **Chapter 376 Alliance of Attack and Defense "Alright!" Han Bing hesitated for a moment, then stood up and sat down in Meng Jingyun's seat, while Meng Jingyun moved a chair and sat down beside her. "Mom, hurry up!" "What's the rush?" Han Bing said, tucking her ear flaps behind her ears, revealing her long, fair neck and full, shapely figure. She picked up the dice cup with her slender hand, shook it, and said with a smile, "Little girl, you think you can beat everyone, huh? You've got quite the nerve."
"Just you wait, are you done yet?" Han Bing opened the dice cup. Meng Jingyun leaned closer to take a look, and the fragrance of the young woman immediately wafted towards him. While looking at the dice, Meng Jingyun glanced down, his gaze naturally falling on Han Bing's firm breasts. Although they were covered by a light yellow, straight-cut, narrow dress, her full, magnificent breasts were still undeniable. Han Bing's straight-cut, narrow dress had no ties, like a tube skirt wrapped around her waist. This type of dress is very suitable for women with S-shaped figures, as it can perfectly showcase a woman's curves, highlighting her round waist and plump hips. Moreover, this kind of dress is usually custom-made, tailor-made, and if it's too big, it won't show off her graceful beauty and will fall off, since it's fixed to the chest. If it's too small, it simply won't fit. Usually, the zipper of this kind of straight-cut, narrow dress is in the back, and the curvature of the zipper is determined by the hip, waist, and bust measurements. Han Bing was still wearing her white women's blazer. Since Meng Jingyun was sitting behind her, she naturally had to lean back slightly when he leaned closer, making their posture quite ambiguous. However, everyone was engrossed in the game and didn't notice. Although Han Bing realized her chest was in Meng Jingyun's view, she blushed slightly and tried to suppress her breathing to prevent her chest from heaving, but she didn't want to break the atmosphere. She tried to appear natural so Meng Jingyun wouldn't notice, savoring the moment. "You go first," Meng Jingyun said. "Two twos." "Three fives." "Hehe, four fives." "Five threes," Han Bing blurted out. "Mom, does what you said count? If you lose, Brother Lin will renege on the bet," Han Bing said, glancing at Meng Jingyun. "It counts, of course it counts! Bingbing said what I said." "Okay, five threes, right? I have seven threes." As soon as Fang Qiong spoke, Han Bing immediately laughed, "Open! Open! Open!" She was very happy, as if she had successfully stolen a chicken. Fang Qiong glanced at Meng Jingyun. "Don't look at me, open!" Fang Qiong knew she had lost without even opening, because she didn't have a single three. She reluctantly drank the wine. "Well, you two are really good at setting me up." "What, you're not happy now? You're willing to give up after only one round!" "Stop talking nonsense, let's play again." Fang Qiong rolled up her sleeves and shook the dice cup... When they were having fun, they naturally became less restrained. Gradually, Meng Jingyun and Han Bing got closer and closer, so close that they could smell each other's breath. Especially when the dice cup was slightly open and they both looked down, their faces were almost touching. Meng Jingyun sat to Han Bing's left, and his right hand naturally rested on the back of Han Bing's chair. Before they knew it, his hand was on her shoulder. Han Bing obviously realized it. She awkwardly twisted her body a few times, but when she couldn't get rid of it, she had no choice but to give up. After Meng Jingyun lost several rounds in a row, Han Bing felt bad seeing him drink continuously, since she was the one who was shaking the drum. So she volunteered to drink some wine for Meng Jingyun. Fang Qiong was extremely unhappy about this, but she also harbored a little resentment towards her mother and Meng Jingyun for teaming up to "prank" her. So when she saw her mother making her drink, she felt quite pleased and didn't bother to argue further. Soon after, Han Xue and Fang Qing came over after grilling the meat and joined the game. Meng Jingyun was enjoying himself and naturally didn't want anyone to ruin the fun. Seeing that the two women's eyes were clear, he unleashed his power, causing them to lose round after round. After these few rounds, Han Xue, Fang Qing, and Fang Qiong were all quite drunk, and Han Bing was also a little tipsy. Although the three women were already quite drunk, their determination to defeat their enemy remained unchanged: Meng Jingyun and Han Bing, this treacherous duo, were the people they were determined to eliminate together. They vowed to get Meng Jingyun and Han Bing completely drunk. Meng Jingyun and Han Bing, their arrogance at its peak, were naturally unafraid of the women's provocation and readily accepted the challenge. "I refuse to believe that the three of us can't defeat the two of you! This is unbelievable!" Han Xue shouted. "That's right, sisters united, their strength can break metal! Come on!" Fang Qiong and Fang Qing stood up and swayed their hips, bumping their bottoms together to show their determination to defeat Meng Jingyun and Han Bing. "Me too!" Han Xue, drunk, also showed her innocent side. Seeing the two women bumping their bottoms, she stood up to do the same. So the three women swayed their hips and bumped their bottoms in front of Meng Jingyun, creating a truly undulating display. "Sister Bingbing, the three of them have formed an alliance, how can we show weakness? Come on!" Meng Jingyun stood up. Meng Jingyun's words immediately stirred Han Bing's girlish nature.
