After a night, Cai Yancheng woke up earlier than Cai Yanfeng. He left the house in a hurry early in the morning. The mother and son were no longer surprised. They were minding their own business as if they did not see Cai Yancheng.
Both mother and son knew where Cai Yancheng was going. They had tried to persuade him not to go, but it was useless. As time passed, they stopped talking about it. Cai Yaqing thought to herself,'I'll just endure it. When my son graduates from university, I'll be free.'
Cai Yanfeng also stared hatefully at his father's back after he left. However, Cai Yancheng did not feel that his actions were bad at all. Because in his opinion, he had gambled for the sake of this family. Why did he gamble? For money!
They arrived at the Wansheng Gambling Center with familiarity. It was called a chess room on the outside, and it looked ordinary, but its interior was no less than some casinos in Hong Kong. They came to a dice table full of anticipation. It was obvious that the people at the table also knew Cai Yancheng. They joked,"Lao Cai, have you made enough money in the past few days? How dare you come over?"
Cai Yancheng's expression turned unnatural when he heard that. Then, he smiled and said,"Haha, I got another 100,000 yuan. I'm here to try my luck again.”Obviously, everyone at the table had noticed Cai Yancheng's mention of 'hundreds of thousands'. They exchanged glances with each other, and one of them enthusiastically pulled Cai Yancheng to sit down and said,"We haven't seen each other for a few days. Come and play.”
Cai Yancheng would never reject an invitation from someone else. He just sat there and played, not paying attention to the little tricks of others. This also doomed his failure today.
"Big, big, big! Small! Aiya, I lost another 10,000!" Even though he said that, his hands were not slow. He continued to dance and shout. Unfortunately, it was useless. In just a few hours, hundreds of thousands were not enough. Cai Yancheng had already lost hundreds of thousands. Just as he was about to play, one of them said seriously,"Cai, look at how much you owe. Why are you still playing? Are you planning to give it to your entire family?"
It would have been better if he didn't say it. Once he said it, Cai Yancheng also said arrogantly,"Alright, I'll bet my entire family. My house is worth hundreds of thousands. And that prodigal woman and a useless son.”
The old men in the casino were not interested in their son, but they were very interested in the house and women that Cai Yancheng mentioned. They had known Cai Yancheng for more than a year. After going to Cai Yancheng's house and seeing Cai Yancheng's wife, they all sighed in their hearts. Why did such a beautiful woman follow Cai Yancheng, a gambler? They did not think that they were gamblers at all.
" Old Cai, you're treating me like an outsider." Huang Baoqi smiled." What's our relationship?" It was just a few rounds of gambling, there was no need to drag the family down.”Huang Baoqi indeed knew Cai Yancheng well enough. The more you didn't let him do anything, the more he could do it. After saying that, he wrote down a letter of agreement and placed it on the table. Cai Yanfeng, who was in school, and Cai Yaqing, who was at home, still didn't know that the two of them had been sold by their unscrupulous father.
The few people at the table were excited, but on the surface, they were calm. They had a tacit understanding not to look at the note and started this gambling game. In the end, Cai Yancheng lost to a few old foxes. Of course, when Cai Yancheng lost, no one mentioned the note or anything, as if everyone had forgotten.
Cai Yancheng had lost the hundred thousand yuan he borrowed from the bank. How was he going to pay it back? He looked at them pleadingly. His meaning was obvious, but the few of them shook their heads with a bitter smile, causing Cai Yancheng's heart to fall into a bottomless abyss.
Suddenly, he remembered that he had just bought the house and the woman. He hurriedly looked for the note on the table, but unfortunately, he could not find it no matter how hard he looked. It was Huang Baoqi's strange laugh that made Cai Yancheng realize. He scolded,"You're not human! You lied to me! You lied to me!" Huang Baoqi held the note in his hand and looked at Cai Yancheng with an evil smile."I think your woman hasn't been nourished by you for a long time. We'll help you comfort your wife. Don't worry!”
" Haha!" The few of them also held their stomachs and laughed. Hearing the obscene words that were unbearable to the ears, Cai Yancheng flew into a rage out of humiliation and pounced on Huang Baoqi. It was obvious that Huang Baoqi had expected Cai Yancheng to do this and was pushed to the ground by him. When the others saw this, they immediately pulled Cai Yancheng up and began to punch and kick him. It did not look like they were 'friends' who had known each other for more than a year.
After an unknown amount of time, maybe five minutes, maybe ten minutes, maybe someone couldn't stand it anymore and told the manager. Hearing the shouts, the few of them left the scene in a panic. Before they left, they didn't forget to spit on Cai Yancheng.
Cai Yancheng, who was lying on the ground, did not move at all. His heart was extremely miserable. He had gambled for a few years. He had lost and won, but he had never won. In his eyes, the friends he had known for more than a year were just decorations. They had casually attacked him for money, and he had even bet on his son and woman. What a sin! At this moment, Cai Yancheng finally shed tears of regret. Unfortunately, what was done was done.
Even after seeing Cai Yancheng's miserable fate, the people in the casino still did not have the thought of waking up. Perhaps only by experiencing it themselves could they understand the deep regret.
Limping out of the casino, Cai Yancheng struggled to rush home. At this moment, he was eager to return home. Wife, son, I've let you down. Tears flowed down his face along the way. Fortunately, when he reached the door of his house, he saw that a few people had not arrived. The despairing Cai Yancheng cherished the time he had now. When Cai Yaqing saw Cai Yancheng's current state, she no longer had the cold attitude from before. She asked anxiously,"Yan Cheng, what's wrong? Did someone hit you?”
Hearing his wife's concerned question at his most embarrassing time, Cai Yancheng could not help but cry,"Ya Qing, I've let you and Yan Feng down! I don't care about you and your son when I drink and gamble. I'm not human!”
Although she was happy that her husband had come to his senses, Cai Yaqing knew that things were not as simple as she thought. She asked,"Why did you suddenly think it through?" There must be a reason for it. As expected, Cai Yancheng looked at Cai Yaqing in shame and said,""I've let you and Yanfeng down by betting on you guys. I lost the bet, so I reckon they'll be here soon.”
When Cai Yaqing heard this, her face turned ashen as she scolded,""Cai Yancheng, I thought you had changed your mind. So it turns out that you regret it. Why didn't you think about what would happen if you lost when you placed us on the gambling table? It's too late for regrets now!"
"It is indeed too late." Cai Yanfeng stood at the door and said coldly. He looked at Cai Yancheng with even more disdain in his eyes. He said to Cai Yancheng expressionlessly,"Since you've made us your bet, you should know the consequences of losing. Then why did you come back? You're not welcome here."
As she spoke, she was about to push Cai Yancheng out of the house. Although Cai Yaqing couldn't bear to see Cai Yancheng crying, she didn't have the slightest intention of stopping Cai Yanfeng's actions. He actually sold us mother and son as collateral. What else would he not dare to do?
Cai Yancheng, who was locked outside the door, leaned against the wall and sat down. He lowered his head dejectedly. Everything was his fault. He did not blame the heavens or himself. In a fit of anger, he actually had the thought of suicide. In the rippling river, a hand twitched and rippled, slowly sinking. The calm river witnessed the death of a person.
Life was so fragile.
