Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

"Snapped……"

"You damned bitch, how dare you call so many people here? Don't you feel ashamed of me?"

"Are you done yet?"

"If this continues, I won't be polite at all."

"Pooh……"

The man punched her hard in the face again, and the woman fell to the ground in a sorry state, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

"Oh dear, you're really incompetent, you can't even control your own woman."

"You still dare to gamble."

The crowd scoffed, their eyes filled with a sharp, sarcastic glint.

The man hung his head, feeling utterly ashamed.

"Are all of you here to laugh at me?"

He clenched his teeth and spoke each word clearly, glaring angrily at Old Lady Xia.

Memories kept replaying in his mind, and he felt a mix of emotions, both up and down.

Recalling those scenes, I felt a deep sense of guilt welling up inside me. But now that things have come to this, as the saying goes, there's no going back, so I can only grit my teeth and bear it.

The atmosphere became extremely awkward. Just then, a burly man walked in from outside.

The man was unusually obese, with a face full of fat and skin that was dark and shiny, showing signs of vicissitudes. However, his fierce eyes were filled with a strong murderous intent.

"Hey, you brat... how much gambling debt do you owe us, are you ever going to pay it back?"

"If you don't pay me back, I won't let you leave this room. What's going on today? Did you bring so many people with you?"

The man bit his lip tightly, his sharp eyes darting back and forth over the old woman.

Old Lady Xia was a woman of the world, so naturally she wasn't afraid.

"Oh, old lady, you're dressed quite elegantly. Why don't you help him clear his gambling debts this time? This kid has been owing our family gambling debts for quite some time."

The man spoke with a resentful voice, his sharp eyes seeming to want to devour the person in front of him alive.

Everyone present was completely silent; no one dared to utter a single word, and the atmosphere became exceptionally heavy.

"I don't care, even if you beat this kid to a pulp right in front of me, I don't care."

"We don't have such shameful things in our downstream company."

"My dear mother, you can't just stand by and watch me die! I'm still a piece of your flesh and blood..."

"Although I was wrong back then, please help me out this time, after all, I am your own flesh and blood."

"You can't just watch me die here, can you?"

Faced with this desperate pleas, Old Lady Xia's eyes remained calm and undisturbed, though her heart had long since died.

If it weren't for the child's pitiful state, I wouldn't have come to a place like this at all.

Seeing him again, so utterly hopeless, filled me with even more regret. Had I known it would end like this, I wouldn't have brought such a person into this world.

"If such a wealthy and powerful family isn't willing to help you, then what are you going to use as collateral to pay the money you owe me today?"

The man revealed a sinister smile, holding a gleaming stick in his hand.

The scar on his face rose and fell with his smile, making him look even more sinister and terrifying.

"Brother, give me some more time, and I will definitely raise this money for you."

He stammered as he spoke, his eyes wide open.

My heart was pounding wildly in my chest, and I was terrified.

"I have a jade pendant on me right now, may I ask you to use it for now?"

"Look, this is my most valuable possession. You can take it first, and I'll try to find a way to make up the rest of the money for you tomorrow, okay?"

Seeing all this, Old Lady Xia was furious, her anger boiling over in her heart.

"let's go……"

Old Mrs. Xia couldn't stand it any longer, so she stormed out of the house and let out a long sigh of relief.

The woman returned to her bedroom and hurriedly began packing her clothes; there was really no need to continue living like this.

She knew very well that if she continued like this, she would only be wasting her time, and that her husband, who was also a gambler and womanizer, would probably come back and abuse her again.

"Mother, don't go, Mother, don't leave me, I'm still so young..."

"How could you just abandon me? I no longer have a father to love me, are you going to abandon me too?"

Wanqing sat on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. She could no longer control her emotions; at this moment, the fear and dread in her heart burst forth like a raging flood.

She cried her heart out, crying without any regard for her image, as if only in this way could she vent her inner pain.

"Don't cry. Blame it on not having a good father! I really regret giving birth to you and making you suffer like your mother."

Old Mrs. Xia watched coldly from the side, not wanting to get involved in this family's affairs.

But no matter what, they are still half a family member, and hearing that heart-wrenching cry still touched me a little.

"Grandma, I've never really asked you for anything in my life. I was really rude of me back then! Please help us, could you help us settle all these gambling debts at once..."

"As you saw today, our lives are in complete chaos. I doubt anyone's life is worse than mine..."

The woman was already sobbing uncontrollably. If she had known things would turn out this way, she would never have gotten involved with this man in the first place.

After hesitating for a long time, Old Lady Xia took out a jade pendant from her waist.

Xia Yue watched from the side, wanting to say something, but swallowed her words.

Having spent so many years with the old lady, I naturally know what she's up to. Although she's usually a bit sharp-tongued and mean, she also has a soft side.

This jade pendant is crystal clear and is a piece of fine Hetian jade. It shimmers with a unique luster under the sunlight, clearly indicating that it is of excellent quality.

"Take it, this should be enough, but you must promise me that your husband will never again indulge in drinking, gambling, and prostitution!"

"If you do something like that again, I can't save you..."

"Give him the money tonight, and the two of you can live a good life together. It's not that I'm sorry for you, but it's because you are my granddaughter after all..."

Old Lady Xia spoke each word carefully, without a trace of pity in her eyes; her entire face was as cold as ice.

Although I gave them this much silver, I will never forgive them in my heart.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you... It won't happen again, he won't do it again..."
