In the underground casino on the west side of the city, the noise was incessant. Yet, in one corner, there was an area that was eerily silent. You Qiu Feng watched the exquisite and alluring man before her, fear etched across her face.
“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I really didn’t mean to,” she stammered.
You Fengqiu's voice trembled as she apologized. The man in front of her wore a smile, his delicate and enchanting features laced with mockery and amusement.
Chu Lingchuan had been around C City long enough; this was not the first time someone had bumped into him and dared to act so brazenly in his presence. He was curious to see who this person was and who backed her up to have such audacity.
“Those who come here are either wealthy or completely broke. Which one are you?” he asked leisurely, playing with the deck of cards in his hand, his tone cool.
This casino belonged to the Chu Family; whether or not she would repay her debts was merely a matter of his word.
“I—I have nothing, I didn’t mean it…”
“Nothing at all, huh…”
Chu Lingchuan clearly dismissed her apology, conveniently ignoring her previous statement. At that moment, You Fengqiu regretted her actions deeply.
She had initially thought that her daughter had finally struck it rich, that someone would generously pay her debts. So she had walked out with her head held high, reveling in a sense of superiority. Who would have thought that in her moment of joy, she would collide with someone so formidable?
Though she did not know who he was, it was evident that anyone who could afford to pay her debts was not an ordinary person.
As You Fengqiu pondered, the man in front of him spoke up.
Looking at You Fengqiu with a smile, he said, "I've encountered situations like yours before. With nothing to offer, you're either a deadbeat or a liar. When I come across someone like you, my usual approach is to sell my daughter for glory. After all, I do have a fondness for women."
Chu Lingchuan's smile widened, and You Fengqiu, who had thought all hope was lost, suddenly brightened at the mention of a daughter.
"I have a daughter! I have a daughter!"
"That makes things easier. Have your daughter come over. If I find her to my liking, I'll keep her here, and today's incident will be forgotten. Otherwise, I'll chop off your hands—after all, you just used them to push me, didn't you?"
Chu Lingchuan's smile remained, but his eyes were icy.
How dare someone show off on his turf?
Even the big shots from C City had to show him respect when they arrived here. Yet here was an ungrateful woman popping up out of nowhere—how ridiculous.
As soon as Chu Lingchuan mentioned chopping off hands, You Fengqiu panicked.
"No! I know I was wrong! I promise there won't be a next time! I swear that from now on, when I see you, I'll kneel and bow nine times! I truly understand my mistake."
"What if I want your daughter instead?"
Chu Lingchuan asked playfully. At that moment, You Fengqiu was so frightened that his mind went blank; he could hardly think about his daughter. If she were truly a caring mother, she wouldn't be involved in gambling all day. In a hurry, You Fengqiu nodded vigorously and said, "Alright! I agree! I'll call my daughter right away and have her come over. It would be her fortune to catch your eye; she's quite good-looking—really quite good-looking."
"Mom, is this what you should be saying?"
The sudden voice made You Fengqiu turn around sharply. The moment she saw An Nuan, tears streamed down her face.
"Nuan Nuan, don’t blame me. If I lose these hands, how can I take care of you? Besides, this young man clearly comes from wealth. Being with him won’t be a loss for you, much better than..."
"Shut up!"
