"Zhi Ran, you're back."

Noticing the footsteps, Fu Yuzhang, who was sitting in a chair sipping tea, raised his head with a smile and looked at Lu Zhiran who was walking towards him.

Hearing Fu Yuzhang's words, Lu Zhiran nodded, looking a little tired.

Fu Yuzhang recalled the scene where Zhang passed by him happily just now, and he realized that Lu Zhiran must have solved a big problem for Zhang.

Zhang was happy, but as someone who solved the problem, she couldn't help but feel... tired.

Fu Yuzhang considerately pulled Lu Zhiran, who was standing in front of him, into his arms and let her sit on his lap. Hugging Lu Zhiran, Fu Yuzhang gently squeezed her hand and looked at Lu Zhiran with tenderness in his eyes.

He asked with concern: "Is mother's gambling debt a bit big?"

"In fact, I shouldn't care about mother this time. No matter what, she will definitely keep some money for herself. Otherwise, there is my mother's family. If not, there is my grandmother. If all else fails, I still have some private money."

"You don't need to get involved in this matter. Are you using your own dowry to fill it?"

Fu Yuzhang looked at Lu Zhiran with heartache.

Although Lu Zhiran was a little confused, he still shook his head.

"It's okay, it's just a little money."

Moreover, compared to what she got from Zhang, that money was indeed a small amount.

Hearing Lu Zhiran's words, Fu Yuzhang felt even more bitter.

He knew clearly that it would take more than a small amount of money to make his mother bow her noble head to Lu Zhiran.

Lu Zhiran paid a heavy price this time.

I'm afraid most of the dowry has been taken away.

Fu Yuzhang gently placed his hand on the back of Lu Zhi's head and let her snuggle in his arms.

"Zhi Ran, don't worry, I won't let you down."

What other reason could make Lu Zhiran willing to give so much? Of course it’s because of him!

In Fu Yuzhang's opinion, his mother Zhang had always been making things difficult for Lu Zhiran. If she had come to him at this time, a normal daughter-in-law would have already belittled her. It would be good enough if she didn't add insult to injury and instead paid off her debt.

So, what else could be the reason that made Lu Zhiran pay so much? It must be her.

At this moment, Fu Yuzhang felt both satisfied and ashamed.

Lu Zhiran treated him like this, but he was still... always indecisive, it was really...

"Zhi Ran, I always thought you didn't like me and despised me, but I didn't expect you to give so much for me this time. It was my fault before, Fu Yu Zhang. From now on, you can ask me to do whatever you want."

Fu Yuzhang hesitated for a long time and said solemnly.

I heard a voice coming from above my head.

Lu Zhiran just felt his mind was full of confusion.

What is this guy thinking? He must think that all this is for him, so he is paying off his mother's debt.

Forehead……!

Lu Zhiran thought carefully about Fu Yuzhang's attitude and felt that this was indeed possible. Seeing Fu Yuzhang looking as if he felt very sorry for her, Lu Zhiran felt that this misunderstanding was not impossible.

……

In the early morning, the sunlight sprinkled on Lu Zhiran's face like a veil. She rubbed her sleepy eyes gently, then got up and prepared to go to the underground casino with Zhang.

As a result, after two days of running around, Lu Zhiran has already prepared everything he needs.

Come to the living room.

Lu Zhiran saw that Zhang had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When he saw her come out, a flattering smile appeared on his face.

She knew that if Lu Zhiran had not been there this time, she would not know what the consequences would be!

You have to rush over to please me!

"Mother."

"Zhi Ran, now that you're awake, let's go to the casino to pay off our debts!"

Zhang said enthusiastically.

To be honest, Lu Zhiran was a little uncomfortable seeing such a big change in Zhang's attitude towards her!

Lu Zhiran nodded and walked out with Zhang.

The two of them got on the carriage together, and the carriage slowly drove out of the gate of the Fu Mansion and headed towards the underground casino.

Along the way, Zhang tried all kinds of topics to talk to Lu Zhiran, and Lu Zhiran, who was not used to Zhang's flattery at first, became accustomed to it.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the door of the underground casino.

After the two got off the carriage, Zhang wanted to go in and pay off her debt immediately, but Lu Zhiran said, "Mother, wait a minute, is there anyone else who hasn't come yet?"

"Someone hasn't come yet, who is it?"

Zhang was very confused.

The next second, four or five tall and strong workers ran out from the alley.

They were all old acquaintances from last time. Zhang recognized them. They were the people that Lu Zhiran brought over from the alley last time and protected him.

"Zhi Ran, how do you let them come over?"

Zhang's face looked a little bad. The fewer people knew about her debt, the better. She had planned to quietly deal with the debt repayment with Lu Zhiran today, but she didn't expect Lu Zhiran to let these workers get involved.

If any worker talked too much and said something outside, Zhang would no longer be able to live as a human being.

Facing Zhang's almost accusatory questioning, Lu Zhiran remained calm and composed.

"Mother, this is a casino after all, and it's very chaotic inside. I only know that ensuring your and my safety is the most important thing."

Lu Zhiran's words left Zhang speechless for a moment. Although she was dissatisfied, she also knew that her daughter-in-law was telling the truth.

Places like casinos are always a mixed crowd with all kinds of people. With these people following them, it would indeed be much safer for the two weak women like them.

Zhang sighed, and the dissatisfaction in her heart subsided a little.

She looked at Lu Zhiran, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Although this daughter-in-law doesn't talk much, she always does things in an orderly manner, which makes people feel at ease.

"Well, let them follow."

Zhang finally nodded, agreeing to Lu Zhiran's arrangement.

The group walked into the underground casino. The casino was dark and depressing, and the air was filled with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

After arriving here, even though this was Zhang's home ground, she seemed very nervous. She held Lu Zhiran's hand tightly, as if she was afraid of getting lost.

Lu Zhiran had a calm expression on her face. She looked around, looking for the manager here.

Soon, her eyes locked on a sturdy man who was busy.

found it.

This sturdy man was none other than an old acquaintance. He was the sturdy man that Lu Zhiran saw in the alley last time, collecting debts from Zhang.

"Where is he?" Lu Zhiran whispered to Zhang.

Zhang followed Lu Zhiran's gaze and saw the burly man. He was tall and strong with a fierce face, and it was obvious that he was not a good person.

Thinking of how hard he beat her last time, Zhang's heart tightened and she couldn't help but hold Lu Zhiran's hand tightly.

Lu Zhiran felt Zhang's nervousness, and she gently patted the back of Zhang's hand, signaling her not to worry.
