Chapter 429: 429
Zheng Jiaxing was completely numb to everything . He forgot how he wrote the IOU as he walked out of Wang Laosi's house . He lost his bearings as he stumbled back to the street across his house . There he saw a familiar figure standing in the wind as it looked towards him from afar .
Only when Zheng Jiaxing came close did he realize that it was Li Na who was standing at the door!
Li Na's eyes were very red, and her hair was somewhat disheveled . Her entire being looked dispirited… When Zheng Jiaxing saw Li Na, he felt guilt-ridden as he turned extremely flustered . Li Na would likely be angry that he did not return all night, right? Yes, she would definitely be angry… What was he to do if she was angry?
But when he came close, Li Na did not scream at him . Instead she said softly, "You returned . "
Zheng Jiaxing subconsciously nodded and was about to say something, but Li Na cut him off . "Go in and wash your face . You look exhausted . Go have some rest . I'll make you a meal . "
With that said, Li Na went back in . Zheng Jiaxing secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this play out in front of him . He walked in and washed his face . Then he climbed into bed to prepare to rest . At that moment his son, Zheng Xiaoyu, got up . "Dad, you are finally back . Mom called you, but you didn't pick up the call . She stood outside the entire night . "
Zheng Jiaxing's heart quivered when he heard that . He was at a loss for words before he tersely acknowledged it . He burrowed himself under the blankets and slept . He had no idea how to face Li Na . All he could think of was to sleep to hide away… Simultaneously, he was bitterly pondering how to repay the hundred thousand yuan . It was a huge sum with 4% interest! Compounded, the interest would become a massive number .
However, no matter what he came up with, it appeared as though gambling was the only path left for him . Wang Laosi had agreed to lend him more money . All he needed was luck . He felt that he could soon repay the debt and then, he would quit gambling .
At noon, Zheng Jiaxing got out of bed and called his mother over to take care of Li Na . He went to the farm to work .
At night, Zheng Jiaxing did not return home for dinner . He went straight to Wang Laosi's house and the moment he entered, he sat down and said, "Laosi, lend me another ten thousand . "
"Aiyah . Jiaxing, you came early today . Why? Don't you need to inform your woman? Did you get a permission slip?" someone jeered .
Zheng Jiaxing was not in a good mood after losing money and being agitated . Furthermore he had sneaked over there at night . He was already holding back his anger, so when he was denigrated, he immediately flared up . "What do you mean a permission slip? Does a man need to apply for gambling? I can come as I wish . Who can stop me!?"
"Nice!"
"You are a real man!"
"That's what a northeastern man is!"
"Beautiful!"
"Jiaxing, I applaud you!"
Upon hearing them laud him, Zheng Jiaxing felt that he had won back all the face that he had almost lost . He raised his chin up slightly and sat at the tiny chair, as though he was in control of the entire world . It felt like the return of a king! He enjoyed that feeling!
Wang Laosi did not hesitate to lend him the money immediately . In time, smoke billowed as the house began turning decadent . Everyone seemed to be possessed . They would be furious when they lost and laugh when they won . The tiny house seemed to play out all the emotions of humans .
Zheng Jiaxing won in the beginning, making him think there was hope . As his expression turned more excited, it also turned more grotesque . The expression he wore looked more sinister as his smile widened, as though blood was trickling down his mouth .
Two hours later, the door was suddenly opened as a woman walked in . The rowdy house instantly fell silent .
