By the time he had earned a thousand yuan, he was already blinded by greed and felt that Lady Luck was on his side that day.
One more round, one more round... and then, ten thousand yuan will be in my pocket.
Of course, if the four Yi brothers had stopped their operations along the way, they would have indeed made a profit, and a considerable sum at that.
But is Yi Tianran short of money? No, she isn't!
She has enough money and patience to keep making trouble with them.
If they stop in time, they can only say that they lost, and she accepts that calmly.
Anyway, there are other ways to get the money back from them later, so she doesn't mind keeping it with them for now.
But as it turns out, the four Yi brothers were simply gamblers who were driven by greed. Their greed eventually consumed them, causing them to lose everything and even their underwear.
...
Yi Tianran made a fortune this time and transferred all the money to the old lady.
The old lady advised, "This is money you earned through your own hard work; you should spend it yourself."
“Grandma, this money originally belonged to you.” Yi Tianran said seriously, “For decades, the Yi family has been supported by your hard work. What right do those bastards born to mistresses have to share it?”
"Just keep it. I'm sure it won't be long before this money is spent on the rightful heir."
The old lady assumed that the heir she was referring to was herself, so she could only smile and accept the money as a way to pave the way for her to inherit the Yi family business in the future.
In fact, if it weren't for the fear of alerting the enemy, Yi Tianran would have already brought Xu Zhe to visit the old lady.
However, some people have already shown their true colors, and she is now just waiting to see the show.
...
That very night, a heart-wrenching scream echoed through Yi Hai's manor, seemingly piercing the heavens.
That evening, Yi Hai returned with a menacing expression, dismissed all the servants, and left half an hour later with a gloomy face, exuding a chilling aura, as if he still carried a trace of blood.
Meanwhile, inside the manor, Liu Ruyi collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, crying her heart out.
"Madam, Madam..." Brother Zhu quietly returned and rushed to her anxiously, "Are you...are you alright?"
"I..." Liu Ruyi was covered in cold sweat from the pain, her hands trembling as she reached out to cover her legs. "My, my legs... Ahhh!!!"
Just now, Yi Hai came back in a rage and said, "I invested all my money in that stock, and now I've lost it all."
Then, to her astonishment, horror, and panic, someone pulled out an iron rod from somewhere and slammed it down on her legs.
With a loud bang, her leg bone was broken on the spot.
Yi Hai was not appeased. He smashed her leg more than a dozen times, breaking it to pieces. She was in so much pain that she was half-dead and on the verge of death before he stopped attacking her.
"You insist on clinging to the title of Mrs. Yi, don't you? Then I'll grant your wish. From today onward, this will be your prison. I'll let you continue to be my wife, but you can forget about stepping out of here."
Yi Hai's gaze was sinister and venomous, like a demon from hell, and his voice was hoarse as if his throat had been slashed, "If you dare to tell on my secret, I will make you wish you were dead."
After saying those words, he turned and left, probably never wanting to see her again in his life.
Brother Zhu lifted up her trouser leg and saw the terrible state of her feet. He gasped and immediately stood up: "Madam, please bear with it a little longer. I'll call an ambulance and take you to the hospital right away."
"No..." Liu Ruyi used her last bit of strength to grab his arm, "We can't go to the hospital, we need to call, call the family doctor."
The moment she finished speaking, she fainted from the pain.
...
The four Yi brothers have suffered a great loss this time and are now on the verge of despair.
Fortunately, Yi Laoda, Yi Hai, and Yi Laosi still hold shares in the Yi family business, so they are not completely hopeless.
But Yi Laosan is different. Due to his gambling addiction, he has accumulated gambling debts time and time again over the years.
Whenever he was being chased by debt collectors to the point of desperation, Yi Laosan would secretly seek help from Yi Qilin, offering his shares in the Yi family business in exchange for Yi Qilin's money to settle all his gambling debts.
But this time, in order to make a fortune by buying stocks and then squander it endlessly in the future, he had a sudden idea and secretly went to borrow a huge amount of money at high interest rates!
Now, having lost everything in the stock market, he is heavily in debt, and loan sharks come to collect the debt every few days.
If they knew he was broke, those people would have no scruples and might have directly attacked him.
The thought of this terrified him, sending cold sweat down his back.
Under the constant shadow of anxiety, he still instinctively sought help from Yi Qilin.
But they forgot that their shares had already been emptied by the other party.
Upon learning that he was coming, Yi Qilin deliberately packed his bags and used a business trip as an excuse to flee abroad.
He had no intention of cleaning up the mess left by these four foolish brothers, and he didn't even care about his own father's life or death.
...
After waiting and waiting, Yi Laosan received news that Yi Qilin had gone abroad, which angered him so much that he smashed the ashtray on the spot.
"It must be that fourth brother still harbors resentment towards me, so he deliberately instigated his son to leave."
Yi Laosan was furious, but powerless to do anything about it.
The only option is to seek help from others.
Those drinking buddies who used to call him brother now avoid him like the plague when he asks to borrow money.
Enraged, Yi Laosan found the businessman who had previously revealed the news about Yi Hai's lucrative business to him.
This is the identity that Yi Tianran is currently disguising.
Seeing him come to their door, Yi Tianran was not surprised at all. She blocked him at the door and said with a mocking expression, "Sorry, Third Master, we don't welcome irrelevant people here. You'd better go back!"
He didn't expect her to be so direct right from the start. He hadn't even mentioned borrowing money yet, and she was already putting on this aloof attitude.
Yi Laosan wondered, could it be that those gossipy guys spread the word?
Do they really hate to see him do well? Why won't they give him even the slightest chance to live?
His pent-up resentment exploded: "What kind of attitude is this? You used to fawn over me like a dog, wagging your tail, but now you turn on me without a second thought. Is this your upbringing?"
"My upbringing is reserved for polite people, not beasts," Yi Tianran emphasized.
Yi Laosan's face flushed red instantly, "You..."
Before he could even unleash a torrent of curses, Yi Tianran crossed his arms and leaned against the door, saying with a mocking expression, "I say, Third Master Yi, do you really think too highly of yourself?"
"Please take a look at yourself in the mirror. You're fat, greasy, sleazy, and disgusting. Being ugly is bad enough, but you're also useless. All you do is eat, drink, gamble, and whore, never striving for anything. You're a complete waste, a far cry from your three brothers."
