Chapter 355: Chapter 355: It’s Your Duty to Provide for Me
Han Jingting looked at Ding Lijuan, incredulously asking, "Mom, is what Dad said all true? The twenty million, is it really all gone?"
"This..." Ding Lijuan knew she was at fault and hesitated, finding it somewhat difficult to speak.
Seeing Ding Lijuan’s demeanor, Han Jingting already understood everything.
For a moment, Han Jingting was furious.
"Mom, that’s twenty million we’re talking about! Even if you burned it, you’d have to burn for half a month to finish it all, right?"
"It’s only been a few days, and you’ve already squandered it all; how exactly did you spend that money?!"
Ding Lijuan became somewhat displeased, "Anyway, you’ve already given me that money. How I spend it is my freedom; it seems like you can’t control that..."
Han Jingting laughed out of sheer anger, "I can’t control it, but I made it very clear at the time that it was retirement money for you. You’ve spent all the money in just a few days; what do you plan to do in the future?"
Ding Lijuan appeared to take it for granted, "Don’t I still have you? You are my daughter who I raised with much difficulty; you can’t just not care for me, right?"
Han Jingting was beside herself with anger, "Do you mean to say that you gave birth to me just so I could provide for your old age?"
Ding Lijuan: "As the old saying goes, ’have children to provide for old age’; what’s the problem with me expecting you to care for me in my old age?"
"There is no problem! But you managed to spend twenty million in just a few days; I have to be able to actually provide for you!"
"Besides, you talk about having children to provide for old age, right? Ding Liang was also raised by you; why didn’t you ask him to take care of you?"
Han Jingting was so angry she nearly lost her reason.
Ding Lijuan waved her hand, boldly asserting, "How can that be the same? Xiao Liang was raised by me, but he’s not my biological child after all. You are my biological daughter. It’s your duty to provide for me in my old age!"
Han Jingting was so angry she didn’t know what to say anymore.
When she was driven to leave home with her daughter because of Ding Liang, why hadn’t she considered that she was her own flesh and blood?
When she had to take the fall and go to jail for Ding Liang’s counterfeit medicine incident, why hadn’t she considered that she was her own?
During every argument, when she always sided with Ding Liang, why hadn’t she considered that she was her biological child?
Now, when it came to providing for the elderly, when it came to money matters, she suddenly remembered that she was her biological daughter!
Could there be any less logic in this?!
Even though Han Jingting was usually patient, at this moment, she was so infuriated that she was grinding her teeth and trembling.
Han Bowwen couldn’t bear to watch any longer, but having just made a mistake himself, he didn’t dare to argue with Ding Lijuan; he could only come over to Han Jingting and try to console her: "Jingting, your mom didn’t mean anything else, don’t take it too much to heart..."
Han Jingting was utterly disillusioned with this family now.
It was only now that she remembered the words Chen Xuan had said before, that giving her parents too much money at once might not be a good thing.
She truly had a profound experience now.
Back when the family had no money, even if her parents were unreasonable, at least everyday affairs were still handled securely.
But what about now?
In a matter of a few days, twenty million was squandered.
Not only that, but her mother spent her days decked in gold and silver, greedy for pleasure.
Her father had fallen back into his bad habits, succumbing to gambling once again.
Even Ding Liang, an outsider, went along buying sports cars and mixing with those rich second-generation kids, aimless and ignorant!
In just one night, Han Jingting had to clean up after their messes twice!
Parents like these, days like these, were practically driving Han Jingting to the brink of a mental breakdown!
She was filled with indignation, with no outlet for her emotions.
Sick of arguing, she turned around, got into her car, and drove away!
Chen Xuan was still in the hands of those people; since she couldn’t rely on her parents, she had no choice but to rely on herself!
"Sigh, if you have plenty of money, remember to bring me some more in a few days!"
"At least pay me back that five million!"
From outside the car window, Ding Lijuan’s shouts carried over from a distance, infuriating Han Jingting so much that she smacked the steering wheel hard.
Meanwhile, inside the casino.
Although this underground casino was far from as luxurious as the Vegas casinos, the number of people here was no less than in Vegas.
At this moment, the casino was bustling with people coming and going.
Chen Xuan was being held in a small room next to the casino at this time, the room’s glass walls allowed a clear view of the lively scene inside the casino.
"With all this buzz, you must be making a good amount of money every day, right?" Chen Xuan said meaningfully as he looked at the scene outside.
Brother Zhu sneered, "Fuck, how much I make is none of your damn business."
"You’d better worry about yourself. In two more hours, if your pretty wife can’t get the money, you might not see tomorrow’s sun!"
Chen Xuan smiled and casually said, "Asking my wife to bring money, I’d advise you to drop that hope. I’ve already told her not to come back."
"What did you say?!" Brother Zhu flew into a rage, grabbed Chen Xuan by the neck, and snarled viciously, "Motherfucker, if you’re trying to play me, I swear you’re asking for death!"
A few brawny men nearby picked up clubs and knives, ready to surround Chen Xuan as if they were about to settle the score with him.
But Chen Xuan appeared utterly relaxed, "Hold on, it’s just five million; why go through all that trouble? I can pay it myself."
"What?" Brother Zhu didn’t quite catch on at first.
Chen Xuan then took down Brother Zhu’s card number and directly transferred five million to him using his phone.
Staring at the balance displayed on the phone, Brother Zhu was momentarily dumbfounded.
"Fuck, what are you playing at? If you had the money, why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Chen Xuan smiled mysteriously, "A man’s pocket money, of course, can’t be known by the family."
Brother Zhu’s brows lifted as he suddenly understood, "Fuck, to be able to save up five million in pocket money, you’re quite the sneak!"
Chen Xuan just smiled without saying anything.
Brother Zhu gestured grandly, "Alright, I’ve always been fair. Since you’ve paid up, you’re free to go!"
But Chen Xuan just smiled faintly, "There’s no hurry to leave. It’s a casino after all; since I’m here, I ought to give you my support, shouldn’t I?"
At these words, joy spread across Brother Zhu’s face.
"Sure thing, as long as you follow the rules, you’re welcome here anytime!"
While he said this out loud, Brother Zhu inwardly cursed this guy in front of him for being a fucking idiot.
His father-in-law had just lost ten million here, and now this lad was coming to give away more.
This family is truly dumber than the next!
Without wasting more words, Chen Xuan went to the cashier to exchange some chips and then sat down in front of a dice game table.
This was the most common game in the casino and naturally attracted the largest crowd.
The rules of the game were simple, just betting on high or low.
Chen Xuan finally squeezed to the front, where the table was already covered with chips.
After shaking the dice, the dealer saw Chen Xuan and casually asked, "Hey, why are you pushing to the front? Are you betting or not? If not, go to the back, don’t obstruct others from placing their bets!"
The dealer’s words were clearly looking down on Chen Xuan.
After all, Chen Xuan’s attire was very ordinary, not at all like a wealthy person.
Chen Xuan didn’t argue with him and simple-mindedly placed all his chips on the number 15.
"Oh, I’m betting on high, one billion!"
