He had no choice but to bow his head.

But once he's done this, he'll definitely make his elder brother divorce Zhou Li and send her back to her parents' home.

Once the family has money, they can find the eldest brother a gentle new wife. This shrew can go back to her parents' home and see what she can still be so arrogant about.

"Just keep it in mind. Go have dinner with them. You can trust my cooking skills."

Zhou Li was satisfied when she saw that Zhao Jixue had agreed, and she picked up the fish and started to process it.

Zhao Jixue turned and left the kitchen.

Zhao Jixue returned to the room and sat down. Seeing that Su Chengguo had already poured the drinks, he smiled and sat down: "Come on, let's have a drink to our friendship."

The three of them raised their glasses together.

"Senior, what have you been doing all these years? I'm really envious of how handsome you are. Unlike us, we live on the edge, constantly on edge."

Su Chengguo looked at Zhao Jixue and started the conversation.

Su Chengguo's face was full of envy and admiration, coupled with the bitterness in her words, which instantly made Zhao Jixue feel extremely proud.

"Just do a small business. In this day and age, there's gold everywhere!"

Recalling his glory at the gambling table, Zhao Jixue became smug. If he hadn't been tricked, he would definitely have soared to the top and become the next God of Gamblers!

But now, he has no choice but to do as the other party asks, or his glorious days will come to an end.

He never wanted to go to jail again.

"You're really something, I salute you."

Su Chengguo, her face full of envy, filled Zhao Jixue's cup again.

Su Chengguo's envious gaze made Zhao Jixue feel elated. He picked up his wine glass, downed it in one gulp, and said, "And you? I've heard that your family has been having a really good time lately!"

Zhao Jixue had some doubts about whether the Su family had the same fate as him, which was why they became wealthy so quickly.

If we could take their treasures away, would he still need to be threatened?

Although he agreed to Gao Feng's request, he understood the principle that times change, and if he could, he would have turned back on him in a heartbeat.

"Sigh, people only talk nonsense because they don't understand..."

Su Chengguo sighed, her eyes reddening.

"How so?"

Seeing that he was about to cry, Zhao Jixue immediately asked him what was wrong.

Su Cheng raised her glass: "Let's start with one."

Zhao Jixue had no choice but to drink another glass of wine.

Su Chengguo then sighed and said, "Brother, you have no idea, I almost died at sea... The situation at the time..."

Su Chengguo poured out her grievances, wiping away tears, and embellished the story, saying how she and her father managed to save their lives.

Zhao Jixue felt a chill run down his spine just listening to it.

The reason he ran away and refused to go to sea was because the sea was too terrifying.

"They say that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune, and my luck has been on the rise lately, but who knows how long it will last? They even recovered a body the other day... Sigh... If only I had the same skills as my senior, I could easily live a good life."

Su Chengguo sighed and looked at Zhao Jixue with envy once again.

Compared to Zhao Jixue's expensive shirt, the brothers' worn-out vests were indeed shabby.

"Hey bro, do you have any good ways to make money? Can you help me earn some too? I can't even sleep soundly these days, with my life hanging by a thread."

Su Chengguo grasped Zhao Jixue's hand, a genuine expression of emotion.

Zhao Jixue didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Before he could even say anything, Su Chengguo came to him begging him to take her on.

Zhao Jixue looked at Su Chenggong and said with a smile, "If I were to help you make money, would your dad agree? If you don't go to sea, Chenggong will have to work even harder..."

Su Chenggong remained silent, just like a taciturn man.

However, his face already looked very sour.

He hadn't even exerted his strength yet, and these two brothers were already turning against each other. It seems that their resentment had run deep. Their family harmony was just a facade; in reality, they had long disliked each other.

Su Chengguo is eloquent, while Su Chenggong is taciturn. Perhaps Su Chenggong suffers a lot in the past, since elders like to hear nice things.

"Come on, let's drink!"

Zhao Jixue raised his glass, feigning that he didn't want to say more about the topic.

Su Chengguo chuckled twice, then stopped talking and started drinking.

The three of them ate food and drank alcohol.

I started reminiscing about my childhood.

From digging crabs out of ditches to climbing trees to steal loquats from others.

Being chased by a dog, etc.

Putting aside the current situation, the three of them do indeed have many interesting memories.

Su Tiantian sat on the bed, staring at the woman in gray.

Su Tiantian never expected that the fat mouse who came to her for help last night was right here.

The people controlling him were his two uncles' childhood friends.

"Squeak—"

"Little princess, this man is lying to your uncles. He doesn't know anything about business; all he does is gamble!"

The gray-clothed girl waved her little paws, looking extremely angry.

Su Tiantian patted the gray-clothed girl's head.

Don't worry, my second uncle is very smart; he can't fool him.

Hehe, just treat this as a good show. I'm sleepy, I'm going home now.

On the way, Su Tiantian overheard her two uncles discussing how to deal with Zhao Jixue. She really wanted to see the end, but she was genuinely tired.

She made up her mind that when she got back, she would eat more and grow up quickly.

"Squeak—"

Goodbye, little princess.

The man in gray nodded, relieved to hear Su Tiantian say that.

After Su Tiantian left, the man in gray watched intently, trying to deepen Su Chengguo's impression of him, as he planned to appear in her dream that night.

"Senior, don't you think it would be great if people never grew too tall?"

After reminiscing about her childhood, Su Chengguo began to sigh.

"I really envy you. You're so capable and carefree. I wish you would help me make money."

Su Chengguo sighed, her eyes filled with envy as she looked at Zhao Jixue.

Zhao Jixue's face was flushed from drinking, and he was already feeling quite tipsy. He laughed and said, "Making money for you is no problem. As long as you brothers agree on it, I'm fine with anything!"

Su Chengguo was too easily fooled, and Zhao Jixue thought he had him under control.

Su Chengguo looked at Su Chenggong and asked with a thick tongue, "Big brother, in front of our senior brother, let's have a heart-to-heart talk. I want to split up the family business. Do you agree?"

Su Chenggong's face darkened: "I disagree. You're going to go make money with your senior while I continue living a life of risking my life? You wish!"

Su Chenggong made no attempt to hide his emotions, his face clearly saying, "You think you can just leave me and live a good life? You're dreaming."

"Heh, who can you blame for your own dullness? What right do you have to stop me!"

Su Chengguo was furious.

Su Chenggong retorted, "Just because I'm your brother doesn't mean you can split the family business. You think you can leave us behind and make your own fortune? You're dreaming! Come on, today you'll give up on that idea and we're going home!"

Su Chenggong began to pull Su Chengguo away.
