"Mr. Shimakawa, what does a casino look like? Etsuko has grown so big that she has never been in a casino, so she really wants to go and see it. ”

Shimakawa tightened his tie and looked at it carefully in the mirror, recalling in his mind that after yesterday's madness, Etsuko's little bird shrunk into his arms and made a not too excessive request, Shimakawa decided that he would take Etsuko on a trip today no matter what.

"Ryunosuke, why are you dressed so formally today?" Himekawa Kiriko looked at Shimakawa in a decent formal dress with some doubts, in her memory, Shimakawa rarely wore such a formal dress except for some important occasions after marriage.

"There's a new casino in Asakusa, and Inoue won a lot yesterday, so you want to take me to see it today." Shimakawa said naturally.

"Casino?" Himekawa Kiriko frowned slightly, casinos are a formalized industry in the island country, but for casinos, Himekawa Kiriko itself does not have too many good feelings, she has seen too many people there who have gone bankrupt overnight, and even their families are ruined, and there is a new organization, but after thinking about it, she still didn't speak.

"Just look at it, nine out of ten cheats, although there are also people who get rich overnight by gambling, but you should know how many people are bankrupt because of this." Although she didn't intend to stop it, Shimakawa had a good education and should know this, she couldn't help but admonish.

"I see." There was a sense of impatience in his heart, what Shimakawa couldn't stand the most was this kind of self-righteous preaching, didn't he know these things?

"Go early and come back early." Nodding, Himekawa Kiriko didn't say anything more.

"Hmm." After a sullen promise, Shimakawa drove away in his car without looking back, looking at the back of her husband's disappearance, Himekawa Kiriko shook her head a little tiredly, there was a crack in the relationship between the two, and she also knew it. I've always tried my best to make myself look like a wife, but sometimes, once a rift appears, it's hard to mend it.

sighed. Himekawa Kiriko also began to change her clothes, as the executive manager of Wisteria, she couldn't be as laid-back as Shimakawa, and even absenteeism was so straightforward.

……

"Master, just yesterday in one day, we gave out nearly 20 million yen, and today I am afraid it will be even more, do this...... Is it really worth it? Qiandaoyue came to Li Xuan with a form and said.

The Thousand Islands Moon itself doesn't care much about money. Not to mention the upper forbearance, even if it is just the lowest level of lower forbearance, there will never be a shortage of money, but it is one thing not to be short, seeing tens of millions of tens of millions of dollars sent out, even if it is Japanese currency, it is also a considerable amount, so I throw it out without frowning. Even if there may not be a return, Qiandaoyue will be a little distressed. After all, Xingyun Club is just a grassroots creation now, and many places need money.

"If you are willing to give up, you may not have to give up, but you will never get if you are not giving." Li Xuan smiled and looked at the gamblers who had just opened the door, and a large number of gamblers poured in, gently took a sip of the red wine in the glass and said, "It's easy to get a thousand gold." It's hard to find, and in my opinion, if you can dig up Himekawa Kiriko, no matter how much money you have, it's worth it. ”

"Boss. The man arrived. A lean man in a suit stepped forward and respectfully addressed Li Xuan and Qiandao Yue in stiff Chinese.

"Well, go ahead with the plan and make our guests feel welcome today." Li Xuan's gaze swept towards the crazy crowd below, and in his smile, indifference flashed in his eyes.

"Hi~" Ninety degrees bent over, it was still very difficult, but the spirit was very good, and he walked happily in the direction of the lobby.

"Is this the casino?" Etsuko looked at the splendidly decorated casino lobby like a curious baby, with a look of excitement in her eyes.

"yes." Shimakawa nodded and said, "But this thing, just look at it, don't touch it, if you do, you will fall into it." ”

"Dear Sir, Madam, welcome to Xingyun Club." A well-dressed waiter came up to the two of them and asked respectfully, "Our club will provide you with the best service, I wonder if you need a guide, sir?" We can provide you with a free guide. ”

"Then there will be labor." Nodding, although he is reluctant to get involved, in front of the woman he likes, men often take care of demeanor or face, and to say that it is unpleasant, it is dead, especially when there is a pair of soft eyes with a hint of pleading gaze around him.

"This is the gambling area, do you want to play two, sir?" After taking the two of them around the clubhouse twice, the waiter pointed to the densest place in the crowd and asked with a smile.

"Mr. Shimakawa, let's try it too?" Etsuko watched several gamblers excitedly press down their chips, and soon brought back twice as many chips, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.

"This ...... All right. A little reluctant, but looking at Etsuko's gaze, she couldn't bear to say no after all, and under the guidance of the waiter, she entered the gambling area.

"The fish is hooked." Upstairs, looking at the figures of the two, Li Xuan smiled.

"I heard that Ryunosuke Shimakawa is a pretty self-disciplined person." Qiandao Moon reminded.

"The feeling of getting something for nothing is something that human beings cannot refuse." Li Xuan shook his head and said, gambling is harmful, there are many people who know this truth, but every year there are still many people in China who go bankrupt because of gambling, this thing is like a drug, once you get started, it is difficult to stop again.

……

Five days later, outside the Xingyun Club

"It's over!" Looking at Etsuko's unrelenting back, Ryunosuke Shimakawa sat down on the ground weakly, clutching his unkempt hair with both hands, if he was a person he knew, it would be absolutely difficult to associate the depressed man in front of him with the well-dressed, famous, and successful Ryunosuke Shimakawa five days ago.

Five days, just five days, Shimakawa not only lost all his savings, but even lost nearly 100 million yen of public funds from the computer that secretly passed Guò Himekawa Kiriko, Shimakawa knew that not only himself, Himekawa Kiriko would probably be implicated by the law because of this, because the public funds were embezzled by his account with Guò Himekawa Kiriko.

However, what made him even more painful was Etsuko's desperation, Shimakawa Ryunosuke was not a fool, the nostalgic back and the indifferent gaze when the other party left, all showed that this woman had never really loved herself from the beginning, and what she loved was just her own money.

The double blow of money and spirit even made Shimakawa have suicidal thoughts, he didn't dare to go back, and he didn't know how to face his wife.

"Huh? Mr. Shimakawa? Surprised by some familiar voices sounded behind themselves, Shimakawa subconsciously looked back, but it was an acquaintance he knew in the casino, although the other party is Chinese, but he is bold and generous, there is a kind of heart-wrenching bearing, although they have not known each other for a long time, but they are a friend who can talk.

"Li Sang, you're here." A little decadent got up and smiled reluctantly.

"Mr. Shimakawa seems to be in trouble, if you are short of money, I can lend you some." Li Xuan stretched out his hand to help the crumbling Shimakawa Road.

"Thank you Li Sang for your kindness, I won't trouble you about this matter." Shaking his head with a wry smile, Shimakawa said with some bitterness.

"Where, come, come in with me first, the people here are real, even if they are down for a while, they shouldn't kick you out." Frowning, ignoring Shimakawa's sloppiness, he reached out and pulled Shimakawa and walked inside.

"No, I came out on my own, I need to calm down." Shimakawa hurriedly explained.

"Whatever the reason, let's talk about it first." Without saying anything, he pulled Shimakawa and walked straight into one of the most luxurious suites in the clubhouse.

"Come, Mr. Shimakawa, drink this cup first, although you and I haven't known each other for a long time, but in our Huaxia words, it can be regarded as a familiar thing at first sight, if you have something on your mind, don't worry about it, if you can help, I will help you solve it." Li Xuan enthusiastically began to persuade wine.

After a few cups of yellow soup, Shimakawa was a little drunk, and said the bitterness in his heart, in fact, this matter was planned by Li Xuan, and what the other party said was basically the same as what Li Xuan knew, but there were more complaints about Himekawa Kiriko.

"This ......" Li Xuan showed an embarrassed expression on his face, looked at Shimakawa and said, "I can help you with this matter, but ......"

"Li San, as long as you can help me get through this difficulty, no matter what happens, I, Ryunosuke Shimakawa, can do it for you." Like a drowning man grasping the last straw, Shimakawa looked at Li Xuan with an eager expression.

"It's a little hard to say, but since Mr. Shimakawa said so, I'll be blunt." Li Xuan beckoned, and Shimakawa immediately came to Li Xuan's side like a dog that saw a bone, listening to the other party's words, his face gradually became gloomy.

"Li Sang, this ......" Shimakawa looked at Li Xuan with an unkind face.

"100 million is not a decimal number." Patting Shimakawa on the shoulder, Li Xuan's voice was like a demon seducing a crime, handed a porcelain vase to Shimakawa, and smiled: "What's more, don't you have no feelings between you anymore?" Help me this time, not only will I take 100 million yen and I will help you pay it back, but I can also give you another 10 million yen, you can take this money, go away from home, start a new life, no longer have to look at that woman's face, you can find a woman who is more suitable for you, this money, even if you don't go to work, is enough for you to live a rich life for a lifetime. ”

Shimakawa stared at the porcelain vase in Li Xuan's hand, his face couldn't help changing, and finally, he gritted his teeth: "Twenty million, and besides, you must pay me ten million as a deposit first!" ”

"Hehe, greed is the original sin." Li Xuan showed a satisfied smile on his face, and stuffed a magnetic card into the pocket he was wearing: "This is a deposit of 10 million, Mr. Shimakawa is a smart person, I don't think you should do anything stupid." ”

Shimakawa stretched out his hand, took the bottle handed by Li Xuan with difficulty, and turned away without looking back. (To be continued......)
