You must marry me
Because of his excitement and violent movements, Wang Laowu's flesh shook several times. Qingzhu trembled and dodged the falling tables and benches in panic.
Screams echoed in the house, and the place was in a mess.
"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your generosity. I will try to pay off your gambling debt in a few days..."
Su Huaihai felt a cold wetness on his back, and the heart that had been in his throat calmed down for the moment. He just lost money and had no intention of harming his daughter's life.
I thought that if I paid back the money, I wouldn't have to mortgage Su Qingli.
"Stop talking nonsense. You don't owe me money, you owe me a woman. Unless you can find a woman more beautiful than your daughter!"
When Wang Laowu saw Su Qingli's true face, he immediately lost interest in collecting the gambling debt owed by Su Huaihai, and his eyes were focused on Su Qingli. He had plenty of money, but lacked a beautiful woman.
"Brother Wang, if Li'er doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do."
Su Huaihai spread his hands, looking miserable, glancing at Su Qingli who was standing in the corner unyielding. He had no confidence to persuade Su Qingli to marry a bachelor. He was not completely unaware of his daughter's personality.
"Someone, come in and beat him up until Su Huaihai surrenders." Wang Laowu shouted loudly towards the outside of the door. He didn't have the patience to argue with Su Huaihai.
Su Qingli couldn't stand Wang Laowu's tyranny and suddenly mocked him: "A toad wants to eat swan meat! Don't dream."
Wang Laowu was furious. "How dare you call me a toad?"
"There's a broken bronze mirror over there. You might as well hold the candle closer and see if you look like the toad in the mirror."
Su Qingli's sarcastic laughter was not loud, but it was enough to hurt the man's self-esteem.
Wang Laowu was belittled by Su Qingli and slapped Su Qingli in anger. "No matter how ugly I am, you must marry me. I will marry you!"
"If you want to marry me, it depends on whether you have the ability."
Su Qingli spoke tough, but was extremely scared in her heart. She was unwilling to submit to a villain like Wang Laowu.
"Bitch, don't be so arrogant. The fact that I like you is the blessing you earned in your previous life!" Wang Laowu was angered by Su Qingli again. He cursed at her and punched and kicked her.
Su Qingli uttered a "Pah" sound, and Qingzhu crawled over to protect her. "Don't bully my young lady. If you have anything to say, come to me."
"Get out of the way!" Wang Laowu picked up Qingzhu and effortlessly threw him away. He couldn't help but slap Su Qingli twice, "You bitch, you deserve a beating!"
“王哥，您可别揍璃儿了，这么娇滴滴的一个大姑娘，揍坏了就不好看了，我劝还不行吗？我保证说服她，让她心甘情愿地嫁给您。”
Su Huaihai walked over and stood in front of Su Qingli, kneeling on the ground and patting his chest to make a promise.
"You old man are dishonest and keep telling lies. Someone, come and beat Su Huaihai into submission so he can learn his lesson."
Wang Laowu stopped at the right time. After all, Su Qingli was about to become his woman, and he had not yet enjoyed her stunning beauty. It would be a pity to hurt her.
The two minions who were waiting for orders at the door came in and dragged Su Huaihai and beat him up, leaving him with a bruised face and wounds all over his body.
"Su Huaihai, if you have no money, don't gamble around. There's only one top beauty you can use as collateral. If you lose her, you'll be beheaded!"
Wang Laowu crossed his arms over his chest and gave Su Huaihai a cold look. Not only did he run a gambling house himself, he was also a pawnbroker, so he knew the psychology of these gamblers best.
Su Huaihai's nose was bleeding, and the corners of his mouth were also bright red. He smiled shamelessly and flatteringly, "When Li'er marries Brother Wang in the future, I'll have to trouble Brother Wang to protect me, your father-in-law. After all, I am your elder."
"Don't take advantage of your age, I won't fall for it. You even dared to kill your own father, who do you think you are, Su Huaihai?"
Wang Laowu roared ferociously, not giving Su Huaihai any chance to take advantage of him and suck his blood. He pursed his lips to signal his two men to continue beating him up.
Su Huaihai kept groaning, "Ouch!" He curled up into a ball, holding his head and begging for mercy, "Brother Wang, I was wrong, I know I was wrong... Please spare me and stop hitting me."
Wang Laowu withdrew his hand and stepped out of the broken threshold with his men.
After Wang Laowu and his group left, Qingzhu closed the door, fastened the bolt, and helped the nearly dying Su Huaihai to his feet. "Master, are you okay?"
"I can't die, but Li'er, it's all your fault that I harmed you because I couldn't resist. I almost let that bastard take you away. When we lived in the Marquis' Mansion, I couldn't bear to touch you. You've suffered so much."
Su Huaihai was filled with remorse and slapped his own face hard, and immediately five finger marks appeared.
"Father, it's never too late to mend the situation. Live a good life with Zhaoming and mother, and never gamble again."
Su Qingli looked at Su Huaihai and saw that he seemed to be sincerely repenting. She didn't say the words of blame on the tip of her tongue. Looking at Su Huaihai's body covered with scars and bloodstains, she changed the subject and begged bitterly.
"As long as you don't hate me, I will make up my mind to help you quit this gambling addiction!" Su Huaihai blamed himself when he thought of Wang Laowu, that rough guy, using violence against his precious daughter.
"Father, what are you going to do about this gambling debt? If Wang Laowu finds his way home, you'll be in danger."
Su Qingli was concerned about the safety of her family. Her capital was still tied up in the sachet business, and she had no money to provide for her family to move.
"I originally wanted to borrow money from A-Lin, but he was helpless. He said that the Xie Mansion's treasury was under the custody of General Xie, and because you hadn't responded to the arranged marriage between the two families, A-Lin was short of money."
Su Huaihai, who was used to having everything provided for him, felt lost and became addicted to gambling, losing his way.
Every time he asked Xie Linyuan for money, Xie Linyuan gave it to him very readily. The last time he owed a huge sum of money, it was Xie Linyuan who paid to help him settle it, but this time Xie Linyuan could not pay.
In order to save his life, he was forced to sell out his daughter.
"Father, I no longer have any feelings for General Xie. I won't be happy if I marry him. Don't borrow money from him anymore. Let's work together as a family and find a solution."
Su Qingli frowned. She had no intention of becoming Xie Linyuan's disciple. The relationship was ruined and could not be mended. There was no need for her to marry into the general's mansion and bring humiliation upon herself. The general's mansion would not truly accept a married woman like her.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Qingzhu heard the conversation of the Su family's mother and son who had returned, so he opened the door.
"Li'er, Li'er's father, what's going on in this room? It looks like it's been robbed by bandits. We don't have anything valuable in our house..." Mrs. Su and Su Zhaoming entered the room one after another.
