Xiao Jie's ex-husband had triangular eyes; he didn't look like a good person at all.
The man with the triangular eyes picked up a beer bottle, took a big gulp from the bottle, wiped his mouth, and said, "Boss lady, do you think I really want to remarry my ex-wife? Haha... Actually, I married my ex-wife because her family was rich. Now, I'm just using the pretext of remarrying to ask her for money. My ex-wife cares about her reputation; as long as I go to her villa and make a scene, she'll give me a sum of money."
The proprietress chuckled and said admiringly, "Handsome, you're really something. Since your ex-wife is rich, why did you divorce her? Holding onto a money tree, wouldn't you be happy for the rest of your life?"
“Hey, boss lady, you know I like to gamble. That time, I lost a million in one night. When my father-in-law found out, he insisted that his daughter divorce me and threatened to send me to jail if I didn’t. At that time, the casino was pressing me for repayment, and I had no choice but to tell my ex-wife: if you pay off this million debt, I will agree to the divorce.”
"Handsome guy, are you still gambling?"
"Heh... I don't have a job, and I don't want to work. Sometimes I can win some money by gambling."
"Handsome, where have you been gambling lately?"
The man with the triangular eyes said dejectedly, "It turns out there are quite a few gambling places around here. But lately things have been really tense, and many casinos have closed down. I have money in my hands, but I can't gamble. I'm so anxious."
The proprietress looked around and, seeing that there weren't many customers in the restaurant, whispered, "Handsome, I know an underground casino that's very popular. However, you can't just go in. They have a code, and only those who know the code can gamble inside."
With longing eyes, the man in the triangular shape asked, "Boss lady, do you know the secret code for this casino?"
"Hehe... I have a cousin who frequents this casino. Last night, he had dinner at my place and drank a little too much. He gave me the casino's address and password."
Upon hearing this, the man with triangular eyes quickly said, "Boss lady, please tell me the address and the code. I've been itching to use my hands lately."
The landlady whispered, "The casino is at No. 15 Tofu Alley. The code word is 'Wildcat.' When you get there, if they ask who introduced you, tell them it was Big Head who introduced you."
The boy with the triangular eyes asked curiously, "Who has the big head?"
"Hehe... Big Head is my husband. I heard that the referrer gets a 1% cut, which means that if you spend 100 yuan at the casino, the casino will give my husband a 1 yuan cut."
The man with the triangular eyes reached out and pinched the proprietress's cheek, saying, "You're quite shrewd. No wonder you introduced business to me; you're taking a cut."
"Hehe... no one gets up early for nothing, right?"
The man with the triangular eyes stared at the proprietress and asked, "I've been eating here for at least a year or two now, how come I've never seen your husband?"
"Don't mention that deadbeat. He's always loafing around outside and never goes to a restaurant."
"Boss lady, you're pretty amazing. Can't you control your husband?"
The proprietress sighed and said, "This restaurant belonged to my parents-in-law. After they passed away, my husband inherited the restaurant. He takes advantage of that to be lazy and good-for-nothing."
The man with the triangular eyes chuckled and said, "Boss lady, your husband is useless. Why don't you find a lover outside?"
The proprietress deliberately put on a stern face and said, "I'm a respectable woman. I'm content with just one husband. I don't need any mistresses."
The man with the triangular eyes chuckled and said, "Boss lady, what do you think of me? I should be good enough to be your lover, right?"
The proprietress glared at her triangular eyes and said, "If you want to be my lover, that's not impossible, but don't expect to get a free meal."
"Boss lady, what gift do you want? I'll go buy it for you right away. To tell you the truth, I made a scene at my ex-wife's place a couple of days ago, and she gave me 50,000 yuan right away. I make a scene every month, and every time I do, my ex-wife gives me some money. So, even though I don't have a proper job, I still earn several hundred thousand yuan a year. You won't lose out if you become my mistress."
The proprietress tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Dahua Jewelry Store has a platinum necklace that costs 1,800 yuan. It's quite beautiful, and I've had my eye on it for a while, but I couldn't bear to spend the money to buy it. If you buy me a necklace, I'll become your lover."
The man with the triangular eyes slammed his hand on the table and said enthusiastically, "Boss lady, you're so generous! We hit it off right away. Wait here, I'll go buy it for you right away."
The proprietress smiled and said, "Handsome, I have to be upfront about this. I'm not a money-loser. If you want me to be your mistress, you have to buy me a gift every month."
"No problem, a piece of cake, boss lady. Let's make it simple. As long as you become my mistress, I'll give you five thousand yuan every month. You can buy whatever you want."
The proprietress smiled broadly and said, "Okay, then it's a deal between us."
There were few diners in the restaurant, and the proprietress and the man with the triangular eyes didn't seem to care about Ma Yunfei and the abbot. Judging from their attire, they looked like outsiders, just passing through.
After finishing his meal, the man with triangular eyes said to the proprietress, "Wait here, I'll go to Dahua Jewelry Store right away to buy you a necklace."
The woman with triangular eyes left excitedly, but half an hour later she ran back happily, holding a jewelry box in her hand. She waved it and said proudly, "Boss lady, look, I bought you the necklace. I'll put it on you."
The proprietress was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Handsome, you're so generous! You just bought it without hesitation. I like men like you."
The man with the triangular eyes put the necklace on the proprietress, took two steps back, and said admiringly, "Proprietress, you are so beautiful. Wearing this necklace makes you even more beautiful."
The proprietress reached out and slapped the man with the triangular eyes, saying, "Don't you think I'm too old?"
"Boss lady, you're not old at all, you look very young."
"Handsome, come to the restaurant at 10 pm tonight."
The man with the triangular eyes said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll be there on time."
He snapped his fingers and walked away happily.
Ma Yunfei quickly paid the bill, and he and the abbot followed the man with the triangular eyes.
The man with triangular eyes walked onto the road and hailed a taxi.
Ma Yunfei and the abbot hurried a few steps, then waved and hailed a taxi.
He said to the driver, "Sir, follow that taxi in front, and I'll give you double the fare."
The driver, a young man, glanced at Ma Yunfei sitting in the passenger seat and asked, "Are you a policeman, buddy?"
"No, there's an adulterer in that car ahead."
"Oh, I see. That guy cheated on you. Don't worry, I'll keep chasing that car. It won't get away."
