The conference room on the second floor is not large, about 60 square meters, the furnishings are relatively modern, and there are many sofas, coffee tables, and conference round tables. Unlike the window film that can be automatically dimmed in ordinary homes, there are panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass windows without splicing. The waterfall curtain slipped from the window and rushed to the ground with a thunderous roar.

Mingshu didn't roar, but she was throwing a tantrum. The casino steward surnamed Liu just now refused her request to ransom her. The reason is that 1.5 million yuan is far from enough, Li Shutong owed 50,000 gambling debts that year, with a monthly interest rate of eight cents, 16 months a year, and in six years, it has been more than 80 million.

Li Xiang took out a pen and paper, calculated it, and said no, add the principal to 400,000 yuan for six years. The steward sneered, we have always calculated on the basis of compound interest.

"So Uncle Li can't pay this account back for the rest of his life?

The corners of Steward Liu's mouth turned upward: "That's about what it means." He had already made it clear to him when he borrowed gambling money, but he still wanted to borrow it, so no one wondered. ”

Mingshu slapped the table: "You are forcing people to be slaves, what is the difference between robbery and robbery? I'll sue my brother." ”

Steward Liu took out an IOU from his pocket and slapped it on the table: "You can't say that, how to calculate interest, what is the risk of not paying off gambling debts, this IOU is clearly written." Although our interest calculation methods are a bit outrageous, these are all on the bright side, and the two sides are willing to do so, not to talk about force, nor to rob. You are suing the god of trees, and this is also on my side. ”

Mingshu looked at Li Shutong's signature and bright red handprint on the IOU, a little discouraged, she pouted and sat at the round table angrily.

Steward Liu's eyes rolled: "By the way, who is your brother?" ”

Mingshu glared at him: "My brother is ......" At this point, she stopped again, looked tangled, and hesitated for a while before saying: "My brother is Mr. Nine of Kunwu." ”

Steward Liu was taken aback, thinking that this was indeed the case, and hurriedly piled up a smile on his face: "It turned out to be the daughter and young master of the Yang family, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

Mingshu saw that Steward Liu's face had changed, and she was overjoyed: "Steward Liu has changed his mind?"

Steward Liu smiled bitterly: "I'm just a small steward, if this Uncle Li doesn't owe much, I will be the master." But now, there is really no way, even if Mr. Nine comes to ask for someone in person, I'm afraid he won't be able to take it away. ”

Mingshu's face froze: "Don't even give Mr. Nine face?"

"It's not that you don't give it, in this casino, many big people in Jiuqiu have shares in it, Mr. Nine is afraid that he won't be angry for a small person, right? So, to Miss Yang, I can only say I'm sorry. ”

Mingshu was curious: "Who are the shareholders?"

"I can't say it, I can't say it. Steward Liu hurriedly waved his hand.

Li Xiang said: "Sister, if you don't forget about it, if you really redeem Uncle Li, he won't be able to go back to the Yang family." ”

Huang Xu also echoed: "Miss, the young master is right. The Yang family can tolerate a waste like me, but they can't tolerate a gambler. Even if you redeem him, he won't be wandering around, and he won't be able to find this place again in a few days. ”

Mingshu put her hands on her cheeks, listless: "It's true, my brother has never treated Uncle Li very much, even if I look for him, he won't help." However, Uncle Li hugged me when I was young, and no matter how I am, I have to see Uncle Li to rest assured. ”

Steward Liu was embarrassed: "We have no precedent before meeting gambling slaves. He tried to convince Miss Yang: "Please rest assured, these gambling slaves have always been very good except for their lack of freedom, eating and drinking." ”

Mingshu's eldest lady's temper came again: "You said you can't redeem it, we rely on it." Now it's just a meeting, and you still say no, isn't Mr. Nine's face worth a penny from you?"

"Steward Liu, otherwise, we only need half of the bonus, and the other half will be used for five minutes of meeting time. Give us a special case, and it can be regarded as a face for my brother. Li Xiang suggested.

Steward Liu lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, but I have one condition, I must be present." ”

When Li Shutong was brought in, he was a little confused, and he didn't know the four people in front of him.

"Uncle Li, don't you know me? I'm Mingshu. ”

"Miss, is that you? You've grown so big that I can't recognize it. As he spoke, Uncle Li's nose was sour, and his eyes were a little moist: "It's been six years, six years." Things are not people, and everything changes over time. ”

"I passed by Buhu Village, and when I heard that you were here, I wanted to redeem you, but even if I won the super jackpot, it was not enough for a fraction. Mingshu's eyes were a little red.

"I'm a gambler, how can I be qualified to bother Miss. My heart is north, but I can't go back. Blame me for being greedy, and blame it for bad luck. Uncle Tong has no virtue, he can't apologize for his sins with death, but he is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he can only live here. Since then, it has never been Uncle Li in this world. The kindness of the eldest lady, the uncle can only repay it in the next life. After Li Shutong finished speaking, he turned around to leave.

Huang Xu shouted: "Brother Li, the children exchanged 700,000 yuan for five minutes of time, don't you want to say a few more words?"

Uncle Li paused in his footsteps, Kui Wei's body was a little rickety, and his back looked a little gloomy.

"Uncle Li, my aunt and so on have been waiting for you, don't you want to bring them a message?"

Hearing his son's name, Li Shutong slowly turned around, walked to the round table and sat down, he lowered his head slightly, thinking about sometimes climbing up his slightly decadent face, sometimes being driven away by pain, struggling for a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Wait for eight years old, right? He was only two years old when I left." Although I am still alive, what is the difference between this and the eternal separation between heaven and man? What else can I say? You go back and tell your aunt that she should not wait, get married, and rely on a man, it is better than living a foolish life by yourself. It doesn't matter if it's from this village or from another village, as long as she likes it. Don't call the child's nickname wait, wait like this, wait for them year after year, they will suffer, and I feel uncomfortable listening to it. The child's name is Lele, forget me, and be happy from now on. As he spoke, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, and Uncle Li twitched his nose and wiped a handful of them on his face.

"Uncle Li, are you okay here?"

"It's good, it's good, except that there is no freedom, I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Please rest assured that the eldest lady will leave with his uncle. ”

He stood up, turned around and strode away, walked to the door and said, "From now on, there are only gambling slaves, no Uncle Li." ”
