Chapter 849 Forgiveness (1)
"You're right! I won't accept that I'll deal with him without confronting him! I should ask him in person!" Li Hong had two obsessions arguing in his mind. One side said that Steward Lu must have had his reasons, and everything he had said over the years was not fake. The other side said that Steward Lu had been acting for so many years, and his betrayal was the best proof.
But no matter what, he couldn't bring himself to do it to Butler Lu. After considering the final result, Li Hong already had a general idea in his mind.
"Maybe things are not as bad as we think?" Si Jing comforted.
"I don't know, but I hope so." Li Hong sighed.
The two of them just snuggled up to each other until dawn when they both fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, everyone saw the dark circles under Li Hong and Si Jing's eyes, but they all pretended to be blind and couldn't see them. Moreover, since it was a rare gathering, everyone accompanied Li Hong for a good drink. Li Hong got drunk, but he seemed much more cheerful.
When Li Hong went back, Chen Zihao did not go with him. The two planned to communicate through letters. Li Hong did not want to fall out with Steward Lu so quickly. He wanted to take a closer look at what Steward Lu's attitude towards him was.
After Ji Xiaomu, Fang Chen and Chen Zihao sent the two men to the carriage, Ji Xiaomu was about to go back when she suddenly saw Li Hao walk into the gambling house on the corner of the street. Ji Xiaomu raised her eyebrows.
He followed him worriedly, but before he reached the entrance of the gambling house, Li Hao came out of the gambling house holding a scholar, and ran into Ji Xiaomu.
"Auntie." Li Hao was also stunned when he saw Auntie Ji, but he did not panic.
Ji Xiaomu also felt that she had misunderstood just now, and Li Hao did not go in to gamble.
"What's going on?" Ji Xiaomu looked at Li Hao and asked curiously.
Li Hao is still working in the gambling house, but he is no longer working for free. The gambling house owner sees that he is doing a good job and pays him.
"He stole the money his wife earned from embroidery and used it to gamble. His wife is about to give birth and just fell down. Now she is waiting for money to save her life!" Li Hao curled his lips. Several thugs arrived behind him, grabbed the scholar and beat him up, searched his body clean, and then left.
"It's not the casino's turn to take care of this, right?" Mother Ji was stunned. This seemed like a private matter, not the casino's official business.
"...his wife is the boss's sister." Li Hao explained, and Ji Xiaowu understood and nodded. "Has your sister-in-law forgiven you?"
"...No! She is just like my mother, she doesn't believe me." When Li Hao said this, his face turned bitter. "Even Hu Zi ignored me."
"Little girl, can you help me explain this to your sister-in-law? I really don't gamble anymore." Li Hao looked at Little Girl Ji and said pitifully. "I have no home to return to now..."
"Then where do you sleep?" Ji Xiaomu was stunned.
"... I'll go to his house to fight him." Li Hao said helplessly, "Otherwise I'll have to sleep in a ruined temple."
"Then I'll go and say a few words to your sister-in-law for you?" said Aunt Ji.
Li Hao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ji Xiaowu eagerly. "Brother is counting on you, sister."
"Don't hold your hopes too high. After all, you've hurt your sister-in-law's heart this time." Mother Ji couldn't guarantee anything.
Li Hao lowered his head sadly. "I know."
Otherwise Xiu'er wouldn't even let him in the door.
Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen looked at each other, and Fang Chen went to find the disciples of the Bai family to confirm that Li Hao really had not gambled during this period, and that he himself had also changed a lot.
