As it turns out, dignity is something that cannot be obtained simply by wanting it.
The second wife of the Wen family believed that she would be able to bring the whole matter to a close tonight and make it end in a dignified manner.
But she is anything but dignified now; in order to appear noble and elegant, she has specially put on a cloak.
Someone stepped on her cloak, and she was pulled down into the corridor.
Her expensive jade bracelet, agate beads specially brought from famous mountains and temples, her earrings, and her necklace were all smashed on the ground. She ran frantically, looking for her subordinates, wanting someone to help her out.
Her men were everywhere in the corridor and the casino, but why wasn't anyone there to help her up?
A group of thugs were yelling and shouting behind her.
There were also people holding video cameras and still cameras; those must be reporters. What are they filming?
And what about the thugs in the corridor? Why didn't they make a move?
The more Wen's second wife tried to run, the less she could move. She shouted, "Help! Help!"
Where is her most loyal subordinate, Hu Xiaotian? Why hasn't he come to rescue her yet? What the hell is going on?
How come she lost so completely, match after match?
Moreover, she belatedly realized that Nie Tai was bluffing her, but why didn't she think of it then? How did she fall into the trap? What exactly happened?
She scrambled and stumbled, still running as fast as she could. After all, she was rich and powerful. As long as she got away quickly and was willing to spend money, the embarrassment she had suffered today wouldn't matter. She could cover it up.
But how did she slip up? What happened? How did she suddenly make a mistake?
Stumbling and staggering, someone finally helped her up. She couldn't help but turn around and saw a woman in a cheongsam standing among a group of people in black suits. Her figure was graceful and elegant. She felt a chill run down her spine.
Could it be true, as Hu Xiaotian said, that this is revenge, her retribution?
Having reached an age, and scaring herself unnecessarily, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
By this time, Nie Zhao had already taken action, sending Wade to personally deliver the items.
It's like building a house; if he uses sea sand for the pillars and foundation, the business is bound to fail.
The same applies to casinos. They take such a large cut of revenue every day. Just supporting a bunch of cheaters to rip off casual gamblers and make a living off the turnover is enough to make them rich. Even if the gamblers don't cause trouble, the government will investigate and find out if they have no gambling license.
Or is it that the Portuguese government won't investigate them, since they will be returned to China in two years, and the mainland government won't investigate them either?
Not only did the casino openly cheat, but it also detained Huo Qi and, in order to protect his son, tried to interfere with the impartiality of the judiciary by extending its reach to Hong Kong. Have they been living the good life for too long and don't want to live it anymore?
But of course, no matter how tough you are, you still have to be gentle in your words.
So Nie Zhao said to Wade, "Tell Boss Wen that I said, thanks to Inspector Huo, we are very grateful for his protection during this time. On behalf of the people of Hong Kong, I thank him. As for the casino matter, I hope his men will accept their losses. These are all minor matters. I personally asked him for one thing, and it is a more important one..."
He paused for a moment, then said, "The bond between husband and wife can be as strong as a life-and-death commitment, or as weak as birds in the same forest. Miss Bao Yuyan is my niece. If she wants to continue the marriage, I hope the Wen family will treat her well. If not, they should send her away with a generous gift."
Wade hesitated for a moment before saying, "Are you sure? The most important thing is Miss Bao's?"
In fact, for Nie Zhao, what happened to Bao Yuyan was none of his business.
However, Bao Yuyan is Nie Han's friend, and besides, Chen Rou wants to stand up for her, so Nie Zhao has to stand by her side.
Husband and wife are the smallest private partnership in the world. Although some men like to have multiple wives and concubines, in reality, a monogamous family with both husband and wife working together is the most stable and least prone to domestic strife.
If we want to be of one mind, we must stand on the united front.
The betrothal gifts given by the Wen family to Bao Chuanwang were all in the company and had nothing to do with Bao Yuyan.
If she really wants a divorce, the shipping magnate and his wife will probably turn against her and won't support her.
At this point, it would be crucial for the Wen family to provide a generous compensation.
Nie Zhao didn't want to be fussy and wished he could be like his wife, who, when she was unhappy, would use her feet instead of her fists to turn the tables and beat everyone up. But he didn't have that ability, so he could only be fussy and wishy-washy.
Now that the yacht is ready and everything is done, he should take his son to find his wife.
Tonight, the casino, which has never stopped operating since it opened, is exceptionally lively. Outside, sirens blare loudly. Looking out the window, the streets are packed with people.
Nie Zhao glanced at it and was about to leave when Secretary An suddenly said, "Second Mrs. Wen."
He then pointed to the right, towards the entrance of the casino, and said, "That's her, boss, she's getting into the car."
Indeed, Nie Zhao and A Yuan in his arms turned their heads at the same time, and they could see a car closing its door amidst the crowd.
In a large, bustling crowd, the constant flashes of camera lights illuminated the scene as if it were flashing lightning.
The house is well soundproofed; you can't hear anything without opening the windows. But once you open the windows, you can hear Yang Tian's voice shouting: "Wen's Casino, openly cheating! Wen's Casino, openly cheating!"
With great difficulty, as slow as a snail, the car belonging to the second wife of the Wen family started but could not move.
Nie Zhao watched for a while, but only saw that the car had moved a few meters.
By this time, Nie Jiajun had already packed up his computer and put it in his backpack, urging people: "Hurry up, let's go downstairs and take a look."
