Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Money Bag

Normally, Song Yuqing would have let the matter go after hearing his sweet words.

But today, she was mercilessly criticized by Jiang Ran, and she was so angry that she had no time for romance.

"Heh." She looked at Lu Ziyi with a hint of disdain in her eyes: "No need for that. You should go back to clinging to your sugar daddy's leg and living your life."

After saying that, he pushed him out and slammed the door shut.

Lu Ziyi was locked inside the door and felt displeased.

He understood that she had been upset today, and came to coax him with all his heart, only to be turned away and given a cold shoulder.

Jiang Ran wanted money to invest, while this woman was constantly complaining. He was juggling between the two women, but ended up pleasing neither side.

"You're insane!" Lu Ziyi cursed angrily, then frowned as he thought of the financial pressure, turned around and went downstairs.

Gambling is now the fastest way to make money.

The casino was filled with smoke and fumes, and Lu Ziyi walked in with a frown.

He went in full of confidence, but left looking miserable.

He muttered a curse under his breath and began to reflect on his own faults.

He shouldn't have believed he would be one of the lucky ones out of ten thousand. Now look what happened, not only did he not make any money, but he also lost all the money he had on him.

They lost miserably.

"Liar!" he cursed angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him turned to look at him.

He then suddenly realized that he was still on someone else's turf, and quickly said in a conciliatory tone, "No, no, I didn't mean you."

The crowd glanced at him, scoffed dismissively, and then turned back to their own business.

After leaving the casino, he went straight to the loan sharking place.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, what brings you here?"

When the loan shark saw Lu Ziyi arrive, his eyes lit up; this was a big client.

Lu Ziyi looked up at him.

The boss immediately understood and said, "Let's talk in the reception room."

Before he could make a move, Lu Ziyi walked straight towards the reception room.

The boss followed behind him, went inside, and slowly made him a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Lu, is there anything I can do for you today?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi recalled Jiang Ran's words about making a fortune with a small investment, and his heart stirred.

"I need three million."

After listening, the boss gently reminded him, "But you still haven't paid back the 500,000 you owed last time, so your credit rating with us isn't very high right now."

Lu Ziyi's face turned cold: "What, do you think I would owe you something?"

As soon as he said it, he felt guilty. After all, if he had enough money, why would he need to resort to loan sharks?

"Don't worry, once the funds are in place, I will repay you with interest."

As Lu Ziyi assured him, the boss wore a fake smile typical of those in the workplace.

"Why would I suspect you would owe money? Of course you can borrow money, but you should be familiar with the interest rate rules here."

"Hmm." Lu Ziyi nodded, a hint of coldness flashing across his face.

The interest rate here is 2 percent higher than other loan sharks, but the money comes in very quickly.

Basically, as soon as you make the request, the payment can be made on the spot.

This is why he would rather pay more but at a lower interest rate choose this location.

He had heard of the rules he mentioned before; loan sharks were usually organized by thugs and there was always collateral involved.

If the debt cannot be repaid, the collateral will be used to settle the debt, and vehicles and houses will be seized. If the amount is disproportionate to the loan amount, the debt may escalate to the disposal of human organs.

Although Lu Ziyi was also afraid of this behavior, he firmly believed that as long as the dividends were distributed, these holes could be filled.

"Okay." The boss smiled and handed a contract to Lu Ziyi.

"You just need to sign this, and our transaction will be officially in effect."

Lu Ziyi reached out and took it, signing his name without hesitation.

On the other side, after Jiang Ran returned to the villa, she immediately asked the maid for a needle and thread and went back to her room.

Next, we began sewing a small cloth bag, also known as a money bag.

This kind of exercise is the most basic in their metaphysics; it only requires a little spiritual power to make the money bag work.

As the name suggests, this bag is used to transfer other people's money into one's own pocket. With just a slight shake, it can be done without anyone noticing.

It's just a little trick, but for ordinary mortals, it's considered a divine intervention.

This is just a kind of borrowing of luck, which will eventually have to be returned. It only allows the person in question to have a good moment of relief.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran sneered. She was very curious about what kind of expression Lu Ziyi would have when he discovered that his money was missing.

She did this on a whim, and Lu Ziyi somehow managed to scrape together a million.

Today, he asked for three million again, claiming it was a loan, but who knows where he got the ill-gotten gains from? So she came up with a plan to teach him a lesson.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Ran didn't stop moving, and without even looking up, she said, "Come in."

Lin Yu pushed open the door and entered. When she saw Jiang Ran doing needlework, her pupils dilated suddenly.

Since she started working for the Si family, she had heard about the mistress of the house from others and considered herself to be quite familiar with her.

But Jiang Ran's actions kept challenging her preconceived notions.

Is she sewing something on her own initiative?

Moreover, her movements are quite skillful. Wasn't she supposed to know nothing about factory work?

Seeing Lin Yu standing there motionless for a long time, Jiang Ran couldn't help but ask, "Is something the matter?"

"Ah." Lin Yu snapped back to reality and asked cautiously, "Madam, the kitchen is asking what you'd like for dinner tonight?"

“Vegetables, I guess,” Jiang Ran replied naturally, then suddenly realized something and explained, “I’m on a diet recently and don’t want to eat anything too oily.”

After all, the original owner of this body used to have meat with every meal. It wasn't that she was avoiding it, but she just felt it was greasy and that too much craving would affect her thinking.

No wonder they were shocked to find themselves eating vegetarian meals every day now.

"Okay." Lin Yu replied, then looked at Jiang Ran's actions and asked, "Madam, do you need any help?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Ran looked up at her, somewhat puzzled.

Seeing her point to the cloth bag, Jiang Ran smiled and said, "No need, it will be ready soon."

Moreover, even if you rely on someone else to do this, it may not be effective.

"Then I'll go talk to the kitchen about tonight's dinner." With that, Lin Yu turned and left.

Just as they reached the door, Jiang Ran suddenly called out to stop them.

"Wait a moment."

Lin Yu turned around: "Is there anything else you need, Madam?"

After a moment's thought, Jiang Ran said, "The meals for the two young masters will mainly consist of meat."

As she spoke, she frowned slightly: "They're both a bit too thin, like little chicks. Tell the kitchen to find a way to help them get some nutrition."
