Chapter 182 Losing everything
Chapter 182 Losing everything
Li Yuemei seemed to sense something and turned her head to look in Ye Xiaoxiao's direction, but only saw a familiar back.
Her empty eyes flickered for a moment. That figure looked so familiar; it seemed to be that bitch Ye Xiaoxiao.
Li Yuemei wanted to call for help, but her dry lips moved slightly and she ultimately couldn't utter a sound.
She couldn't let Ye Xiaoxiao know what kind of life she was living, otherwise, she would be looked down upon.
Moreover, with that devil Qian Laoshui by her side, she wouldn't be able to escape so easily. If she did escape and was caught again, she didn't know what kind of punishment she would face when she got back.
Was he beaten up?
Or should we starve for three days?
Or are they locked in a room and tortured?
She had already experienced the consequences of a failed escape attempt once, and she didn't want to go through it a second time.
"What are you looking at! Stay close to me! If you have any wicked thoughts, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Qian Laoshui's face was gloomy, his sharp eyes fixed on Li Yuemei, and his tone was filled with ruthlessness.
Li Yuemei withdrew her gaze and continued walking forward, her expression dazed.
Not long after, Qian Laoshui brought her to a place.
Before anyone even entered, a noisy commotion could be heard from inside, filled with the rude laughter and curses of men.
Li Yuemei suddenly had a bad feeling, her body shrank involuntarily, and she stopped in her tracks, not daring to go any further.
Seeing this, Qian Laoshui forcefully pulled her arm and dragged her inside.
"Get the hell in here!"
Li Yuemei stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but with Qian Laoshui's forceful pulling, she walked in with stiff steps.
As soon as Qian Laoshui entered, someone joked, "Hey! Qian Laoshui's here! What are you betting with today? I remember you've lost so much lately you've even lost your stake. Hahahahahaha..."
Qian Laoshui said impatiently, "Go away! I'm sure I'll win today, you just wait and see!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shoved Li Yuemei forward and said in a rough voice, "This is what I'm going to do today, see?"
Women were rarely seen in the gambling den, and suddenly everyone's eyes were on Li Yuemei. Some were curious, some were wicked, and some were hostile...
Li Yuemei felt as if she were surrounded by a dark, murky atmosphere, filled with greedy people like Qian Laoshui. Everyone was staring at her with hostile eyes, giving her a chilling feeling.
"Qian Laoshui, what do you mean by this?" the gambling den manager asked.
"Isn't it obvious? Look at how much she's worth, and I'll use her to place my bets."
The manager sized up Li Yuemei for a moment, and after a long silence, said, "Alright, I think she's worth fifty copper coins."
"What?" Old Qian's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He bargained, "Only fifty copper coins? That's a bit too little! Please add a little more, just a little more!"
The manager looked displeased: "You think it's too little? Then I suggest you stop gambling. When are you going to settle your debts from before?"
The people around them started to jeer.
"Fifty isn't enough? The girl you brought is neither pretty nor attractive, and her skin is rough, really..."
"Yes, yes!"
"Yesterday, a guy brought only five coins, and he was so lucky that he won more than ten rounds in a row. In the end, he made a fortune and went home beaming with joy."
"Yes, I was there yesterday too! That guy usually has terrible luck, but who would have thought that he would win back everything he had lost in just one day yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Qian Laoshui's expression shifted. He felt that he was the lucky one today. He slapped his thigh hard with his right hand and made up his mind: "Fine, fifty coins it is."
When Li Yuemei heard that Qian Laoshui had exchanged her for fifty coins to place a bet, her heart sank, and she instinctively wanted to run away.
However, two people immediately stood beside her and stopped her.
As expected, Qian Laoshui lost everything again.
He stood in front of the gambling table, his brows furrowed and his eyes wide, staring blankly.
How can it be?
How could I possibly keep losing?
This is impossible!
He looked at Li Yuemei, whose face was deathly pale, and a feeling of disgust flashed through his mind. He shouldn't have brought her here today; she's bad luck!
Seeing that Qian Laoshui had lost everything in no time, the manager said, "Qian Laoshui, now that you have no more money, do you still want to continue?"
