If there were a pill to undo regrets, Zhao Kun would definitely buy one for himself.

I really lost my temper tonight.

Zhao Kun wanted to slap himself, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Brother Hu, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Brother Hu, I will definitely give you the 300,000 during the day. I, Zhao Kun, will never fail to do my job."

Tiger smiled and said, "I still believe in that. Three hundred thousand is nothing to Kun. He may have just had bad luck today. I believe he will win it back in the future. We can continue tomorrow."

Zhao Kun's lips twitched. He had taken out 300,000 yuan; where would he get the money to continue gambling?

He even suspected that the reason he lost so much today was because Tiger cheated with others. Now that he's come to his senses, he feels more and more that there's something fishy going on.

His previous good luck and winning money might have been a deliberate illusion created for him, all to get him carried away tonight.

Unfortunately, Zhao Kun realized this a little too late; the money had already been given out, and the IOU was written in black and white, clear as day.

Now, even if he has doubts, he doesn't dare to say them outright and can only swallow the bitter pill himself.

Tiger is no pushover. He runs a loan shark business, and fighting is commonplace for him. If he gets angry, it's not impossible for someone to die.

"Hehe... Tiger, I'm leaving now."

Zhao Kun chuckled dryly and turned to leave.

Watching Zhao Kun walk away,

At this moment, several men who had been gambling with Zhao Kun at the card table earlier came to Tiger's side.

"Congratulations, Tiger, you made 300,000 in one night."

"Haha, thanks to my brothers, without your help, Zhao Kun wouldn't have lost so badly."

Just as Zhao Kun suspected, he had indeed been set up. Tiger Brother, along with others, orchestrated the scheme, allowing him to win for several days in a row, until today when they finally pulled the bait.

On the other end,

On his way home, Zhao Kun was extremely agitated. The thought of losing 300,000 yuan made his heart feel heavy.

The family received a considerable amount of compensation for the demolition, but after deducting the amount given to his parents, he only received a little over 300,000 yuan. In recent days, he has spent some of it, leaving the family with only 300,000 yuan.

If we give this away, we'll be back to square one.

Originally, he intended to use 300,000 yuan to start a business and become his own boss, but now he has lost it all.

The most crucial question is, how is he going to tell Zhou Ling about this?

Zhou Ling will be furious when she finds out.

Zhao Kun was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

But soon he felt it was nothing. He was the head of the family, and the 300,000 yuan was their family's demolition compensation. What did it matter if Zhou Ling knew?

However, to prevent Zhou Ling from refusing to give him the money, Zhao Kun decided after returning to his own doorstep to keep the truth hidden and get his hands on the bank card first.

Early the next morning,

Zhou Ling was awakened by the sound of cooking in the kitchen. When she came to the kitchen with her big pregnant belly, she saw a scene that left her speechless.

Her little brother Kun was actually cooking.

"Brother Kun, you..."

"Honey, you're awake! Come on, let's eat. It's almost ready."

Zhao Kun smiled gently, looking like a doting husband, which made Zhou Ling feel like she was in a dream.

"Brother Kun, what's wrong?"

Sitting at the dining table, Zhou Ling still couldn't quite believe what was happening in front of her. Ever since the two got married, Zhao Kun had never set foot in the kitchen; she was the one who cooked.

"Nothing much. It's only natural to cook for your wife, especially since you're pregnant with our son. How can I, as the father, let you serve me? I was wrong before. From now on, I will serve you and our son."

Zhao Kun's words were somewhat sincere; he genuinely felt a little ashamed.

Zhou Ling was so happy that she couldn't help but shed tears.

She didn't expect Zhao Kun to change his ways and apologize for his previous indifference. She knew she hadn't misjudged him; her man wouldn't let her down.

Zhao Kun personally cooked breakfast for her; this shows how much he loves her and how much he values ​​her.

She is so happy.

Zhou Ling was so moved that she cried tears of joy.

If Zhou Chen saw this scene, she would be speechless. Zhao Kun only made breakfast and she was so moved. When he was in charge of the household, he would come home and cook every day after get off work, and Zhou Ling was never moved even once.

Zhao Kun gently wiped away Zhou Ling's tears and then held her in his arms.

After cuddling together for a while, the two began to eat. Once they were full, Zhao Kun, seeing that the time was right, suddenly asked where the family's bank cards were kept.

He secretly looked for the bank card last night while Zhou Ling was asleep, but found no trace of it.

Without a bank card, there's no money to pay back Tiger.

That's usury, and Zhao Kun wants to pay it back as soon as possible; otherwise, the interest will snowball and be terrifying.

"Brother Kun, why are you asking this?"

Zhou Ling was startled, wondering if Zhao Kun had found out that she had given money to her mother, Wang Xiuhua, for medical treatment. She hadn't figured out how to tell Zhao Kun yet, because she was worried that he would be angry if he found out.

However, Zhao Kun was unusually attentive to her today, which she saw as an opportunity to be honest with him. She thought that since Zhao Kun was in a good mood, he wouldn't be too angry after learning the truth.

Zhao Kun didn't know that Zhou Ling had already given the bank card away, and not wanting to tell the truth, he could only make up an excuse, "I was just asking, after all, all our family's money is in there, you absolutely can't lose it."

"Ah... I see..."

Seeing Zhao Kun's words, Zhou Ling hesitated, wondering whether she should speak now.

"Honey, you still haven't told me where to put the bank card. We need to put it somewhere safe. I heard that a neighbor's house was broken into, so we need to be more careful."

In order to obtain the bank card, Zhao Kun continued to fabricate stories.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling bit her lip. She decided to be honest with Zhao Kun because she couldn't keep hiding this matter any longer.

"Brother Kun, I want to tell you something. Can you promise you won't get angry?"

"Wife, you're carrying my son, how can I be angry with you? Even if you slap me a few times, I won't even flinch."

Zhao Kun, unaware that the bank card had been handed over, looked completely confident.

"What happened? What's wrong? Did Zhou Chen bully you?"

Zhao Kun pressed for an answer.

Zhou Ling shook her head. "Brother Kun, it's actually about Mom. It happened just a few days ago..."

Zhou Ling decided to tell the truth and explained that Wang Xiuhua was seriously ill and needed surgery. "Mom's health can't be delayed any longer. She has started vomiting blood. Without your permission, I gave Mom the money so she could go to a big city for treatment."

"You took all 300,000 yuan from her?"

Holding onto a last glimmer of hope, Zhao Kun suppressed his anger and asked.

"Brother Kun, I hope you can understand me. You wouldn't want me to lose my mother, would you..."

"Zhou Ling, are you fucking crazy?!"

Before Zhou Ling could finish speaking, Zhao Kun suddenly jumped up from the sofa.
