Yang Yajing felt her life was utterly worthless—single at 36; meager salary absolutely insufficient to cover her mother's medical expenses.
Her best friend not only stole the man she...
"Give me a hundred-yuan bill!" As soon as Madam Xia entered, Yang Yajing happily reached out to Xia Changlong for the money.
"Hmph!" Xia Changlong reluctantly pulled a 100-yuan bill from his wallet and slammed it on the coffee table in front of Yang Yajing.
"What's going on?" Mrs. Xia asked curiously.
"Hehe! Sister Tao!" Yang Yajing helped Mrs. Xia sit down on the sofa. "Your eldest son Xia has lost again! You'll have to keep an eye on him from gambling in the future. He always loses when he gambles!"
"What did you bet on?" Madam Xia asked with a smile.
"I'm betting you'll come here or go straight home."
"You clever little devil, you know me best!" After saying that, Madam Xia proudly raised her head at Xia Changlong, as if to say that she and Yang Yajing were a family.
"Madam, what brings you here?" Xia Changlong asked, his voice a mixture of helplessness and doting affection.
"This is a major matter concerning me. You're all plotting here, are you expecting me to stay out of it?"
"Madam! I'll tell you when we get home!" Xia Changlong's words showed that he had no intention of hiding anything.
"No way! I don't want secondhand information, I want to be involved in the whole process!" Mrs. Xia, a grown woman, was still acting like a child.
"One hundred!" Yang Yajing reached out for money again, it seemed they had also taken the gamble.
"What else did you gamble on?" Madam Xia asked, finally getting to the bottom of it all.
"You're even betting on whether Xia Junhu will chime in and go along with it?" Yang Yajing looked at Madam Xia. "Sister Tao, why don't you take a gamble too? It's only a hundred yuan, but the feeling of winning is exhilarating!"
"Which one are you betting on?" Madam Xia asked Yang Yajing.
“I bet that once the results are out, Xia Junhu will call you to congratulate you and ask you to help the Jiang family,” Yang Yajing said. “But Boss Xia thinks he will get rid of the Jiang family for the sake of the share inheritance rights.”
"Alright! Then I'll bet on this!" Madam Xia didn't actually know what Xia Junhu would do, but she just felt that betting with Yang Yajing would lead to victory.
