Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

However, fate did not favor him. After a few rounds, Bang Geng lost everything again. He stared blankly at the empty gambling table, his heart filled with despair.

"How about it? Still want to continue?" Brother Hu looked at Banggeng smugly, as if he had seen his end.

Banggeng gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his head: "Brother Hu, I still have a family and two sisters. How about..."

"Shut up!" Brother Hu interrupted Bang Geng angrily, "You actually want to gamble with your family? Are you still human? I tell you, although Brother Hu loves gambling, he also has principles. I will never accept a bet like this from you!"

Bang Geng was speechless after hearing what Tiger said. He knew he had nowhere to go, but he was unwilling to give up. He struggled to stand up and wanted to say something, but Tiger slapped him to the ground.

"Get out! I don't want to see shameless people like you again!" Brother Hu roared.

Bang Geng covered his cheeks, his eyes full of humiliation and anger. He knew that he had completely lost, not only all his money, but also his dignity and bottom line.

At this moment, Brother Hu suddenly spoke again: "But... considering that we have known each other for a while, I can give you another chance. Let's make another bet, but this time we have to change the stakes."

Banggeng raised his head and looked at Brother Hu in confusion.

"If you win, I can return all the money I won from you before; but if you lose..." Brother Hu paused, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "I will chop off one of your fingers!"

Bang Geng was frightened by Tiger's words. He knew that Tiger was forcing him to surrender, but he had no choice. He nodded and wrote the IOU with trembling hands.

Brother Hu took the IOU and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's get started."

At this moment, He Wenyuan was sitting on his small bed at home, holding the torn fifty-yuan bill in his hand, feeling mixed emotions.

Ever since she offended Yang Ming, her life has become shattered like the broken banknotes.

She used to be generous and was the darling of the school, but now, even the most basic pocket money has become a luxury.

"No, I have to go find Yang Ming."

He Wenyuan gritted her teeth and decided to humble herself and ask for help from the man who had once made her look down on her.

She first went to the instant noodle factory and then to the sausage factory, but the news she got was that Yang Ming had gone to Jinzhou on a business trip and would not be back for ten days or half a month.

He Wenyuan stood at the door of the ham sausage factory, looking into the distance, feeling lost. She originally thought that as long as she bowed her head and admitted her mistakes and acted like a spoiled child, she could regain the fifty yuan of pocket money. But now, she didn't even have the chance to see Yang Ming.

"What should I do?" He Wenyuan murmured to herself, tears welling up in her eyes. She suddenly felt unprecedented despair, as if the whole world had abandoned her.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Hey, isn't this He Wenyuan? Why are you here alone?" He Wenyuan looked up and saw that it was Xiaoyan. She and He Wenyuan didn't get along well at school, and they often quarreled over trivial matters. But at this moment, Xiaoyan's face showed no hostility, she just greeted him lightly.

He Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled as if nothing had happened: "Oh, it's Xiaoyan. Why are you here?"

"I'm here to look for my cousin." Xiaoyan pointed in the direction of the ham sausage factory. "What about you? Why are you standing here in a daze?"

He Wenyuan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't want Xiaoyan to know her current situation, so she quickly changed the subject: "Nothing, just strolling around. By the way, how have you been recently?"

"Not bad." Xiaoyan replied calmly, "I heard that you haven't been doing well recently?"

He Wenyuan's heart sank suddenly. She knew what Xiaoyan was talking about. But she still smiled calmly and said, "Who said that? I'm doing fine."

Xiaoyan glanced at her and said nothing. The two of them were silent for a while, and then Xiaoyan left. He Wenyuan stood there, watching Xiaoyan's back gradually go away, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Wenyuan, long time no see! What have you been busy with recently?" Xiaoyan asked with a smile.

He Wenyuan was a little surprised, but still responded politely: "Yes, I have been busy lately. How about you?"

"As for me, I'm still the same as always, but I happen to be free today, so I'd like to treat you to a meal, please do me a favor?"

Xiaoyan blinked, and her seemingly casual invitation contained a subtle hint of temptation.

He Wenyuan's heart tightened, she heard the hidden meaning in Xiaoyan's words.

She knew that Xiaoyan came from a wealthy family and was usually generous, so the sudden invitation to dinner this time might not be that simple.

She was worried that Xiaoyan would ask her to treat them all. After all, she had been spending lavishly recently and now she only had fifty cents left.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I have something else to do today and may not be able to go." He Wenyuan tried to refuse on the grounds that he was busy.

But Xiaoyan didn't seem to let her go easily. She continued to insist: "Oh, what's so important? Don't you have time to eat? Besides, we haven't seen each other for so long, it's a good opportunity to catch up!"

He Wenyuan had no choice but to agree. She knew in her heart that this meal would not be so simple.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Xiaoyan took He Wenyuan to a private room where three girls were already sitting, all of whom were Xiaoyan's good friends.

When they saw He Wenyuan, they all greeted him warmly, but He Wenyuan felt a little uncomfortable, as she felt that this gathering was a little unusual.

Sure enough, when ordering food, the three girls deliberately ordered a large table of dishes, which cost at least ten or twenty yuan. He Wenyuan looked at the prices on the menu and felt nervous.

She knew that her financial situation could no longer support the cost of the meal.

"Wenyuan, what would you like to eat?" Xiaoyan handed the menu to He Wenyuan with a barely perceptible hint of pride on her face.

He Wenyuan took the menu, but she couldn't make up her mind. She knew she couldn't order too many dishes, otherwise the meal would cost more. But if she didn't order anything, she would seem too stingy. She was caught in a dilemma.

"Hey, Wenyuan, why don't you order? Are you afraid that we will eat you out of money?" a girl said jokingly.

He Wenyuan smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer. She knew in her heart that she could not afford the cost of this meal anyway.

At this moment, Xiaoyan suddenly showed an apologetic expression and said to He Wenyuan: "Wenyuan, I'm so sorry. I wanted to treat you to a meal, but I didn't expect them to order so many dishes. Look at this..."
