CHAPTER 20 - A Gambler

More than 20 years ago, Qiao Lang's mother was the daughter of an affluent family whose wealth was enough to protect her naivety for the rest of her life.

She met Qiao Lang's father, a mature and handsome man at a dinner party. His sharp appearance than had aroused great attention amongst the women there.

As usual, at every dinner banquet, there would always be several pairs of males and females who would get acquainted with each other. More importantly, she knew of his dirty background and profession. So, despite her good impression of him, she knew he was not the best choice to make and kept a good distance away from him.

Later on, her father went on to make several mistakes that caused the downfall of his business. This resulted in a lot of debt, and the whole family was driven out onto the streets. It was here, at this critical time, that Qiao Lang's father came forward to help her father pay his debts and help her family settle down. Feeling grateful, she eventually agreed to get together with him.

At that time, she didn't know that he already had a wife.

And that this wife also came from a mafia family who was equal to the Qiao family in terms of power. As someone jealous in nature, the wife then sent someone to negotiate with Qiao Lang's mother when she knew of her existence.

Only then did Qiao Lang's mother know that she had been deceived by him.

What was the most shocking thing was that her father's bankruptcy was not due to the mistakes he made, but due to someone's interference. Nonetheless, despite the hatred in her heart, what could she have done in the end? She was just a weak woman with no power.

She ended up promising to leave him.

However, he was unwilling to let her leave and threatened her with her parents. Even so, she knew that if she dared to stay, his wife would not let her family go either.

In the end, her parents died and no bones could be retrieved. During the dispute between the two sides, several cars crashed into each other due to dysfunctional brakes, causing an explosion.

That year, this was the biggest news in the city, and it was widely discussed in the newspapers and TV for two months. No one hadn't heard of such an accident.

The Qiao family finally managed to ruin her family and leave her with nothing.

She eventually left Qiao Lang's father and gave birth to the child secretly while in hiding. Despite her attempts in doing so, she was eventually found out by his wife who continuously sent people to kill her and her son. Meanwhile, Qiao Lang's father never knew that he had a son who was living elsewhere.

Qiao Lang's mother ended up using all her money to smuggle them to England.

And for the rest of her life, she was never able to return to her hometown.

"When I was eight years old, I arrived in England with my mother. At that young age, I would often see her staring blankly at things and weeping unconsciously. What we were most afraid of was the Immigration Bureau coming to knock on our door so we lived in fear for so many years. I then swore that whatever the Qiao family owes me, I'll take them all back at any cost." Qiao Lang clenched his hands into fists as his body trembled slightly.

After listening to him, I was silent for a long time.

"So you used me to leave England."

Qiao Lang admitted, "一At first."

So it's like this, I had finally understood everything.

I was wealthy, gullible, and had social connections. Who else could he use if it was not me?
