Just as Zhou Ruijia said, although Bai Lian thought she was beautiful, men would be so enchanted that they could not walk once they saw her.

But those two men didn't understand the situation at all. No matter how she begged and cried, they remained indifferent. She couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with their eyes.

It's like throwing a wink at a blind man, what a waste of effort.

Bai Lian's father was not as seriously ill as she said. Her mother passed away early, and the father and daughter depended on each other.

In fact, this is not true. The Bai family now relies almost entirely on Bai Lian to make ends meet. Her father does not make any money.

Her father was a gambler. Whenever he lost money, he would drink. After returning home drunk, he would not make a fuss or make a noise, but would just lie down and fall asleep.

As for those gambling debts, he was unable to repay them himself and could only rely on Bai Lian's face to repay them.

Over the years, Bai Lian had no idea how many men she had cheated to pay off her gambling debts.

But her father was a compulsive gambler, always wanting to turn the tide, but he didn't have the ability to do so, so he kept racking up gambling debts.

Sometimes Bai Lian really wanted to give up, but when she saw her father kneeling on the ground begging, she couldn't bear it.

What's more, her father only has one daughter, and those debt collectors are not good people. They threatened that if she didn't pay off the gambling debts, they would sell her to a brothel to pay off the debts.

Bai Lian was scared. Those people looked ferocious and scary. They were definitely not just trying to scare people. She had no choice but to rely on this face to cheat people out of their money.

As she walked, she arrived at the door of her home, but this low house looked as scary as a blood-sucking demon in her eyes.

"Lian'er, you're back. What are you standing at the door for? Come in quickly. Daddy has made you your favorite osmanthus fish." Bai Lian's father was named Bai Sheng. He was neither tall nor short. He looked somewhat like Bai Lian from his eyes and eyebrows. He was wearing coarse cloth and his face was full of flattery.

Bai Lian's face turned cold when she saw him, but he didn't get angry. He wiped his hands casually on the rags in front of him and said, "The fish they caught today are not as big as mine. I thought I could sell them for a good price, but I thought we haven't had meat for a long time, so I'll cook them for you to replenish your body."

He smiled very cautiously, as if he was afraid of displeasing Bai Lian. At first glance, they didn't look like father and daughter, but more like master and servant.

Bai Lian was already in a bad mood at the moment, and Bai Sheng was swaying in front of her again. When she thought that all this was caused by the gambling addict in front of her, she became even angrier.

"If it weren't for you, would we be living like this now? Huh?" Bai Lian scolded Bai Sheng like a servant, not worrying at all whether he would get angry and accuse her of disrespecting her elders. "You still talk about replenishing your body, but after you're replenished, what are you going to do to cheat people and pay off your gambling debts?"

Bai Sheng waved his hands repeatedly, "No... No, Lian'er, don't be angry, that's not what I meant."

The affection between father and daughter has almost disappeared. Bai Lian now seems to have only hatred and disgust towards Bai Sheng. "That's not what you meant? What does that mean? Don't quibble. What you have done has already shown that this is what you meant."

Bai Sheng was scolded by his own daughter like that, and he lost both his dignity and dignity. He opened his mouth to explain, but the facts were exactly as Bai Lian said. He didn't open his mouth and let Bai Lian vent her anger on him.

But instead of calming down, Bai Lian's anger grew even stronger.

"You're a grown man, but you don't know how to go out and earn money to support your family. Who are you showing off to? Do you expect the debt collectors to let you go? Don't dream."

"Since mother passed away, you have been hanging around in gambling dens all day, dreaming of unrealistic dreams. Can you still be called a father?"

"I'm a girl, and I'm out there all day cheating people out of money to pay off your debts. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"You gave birth to me and raised me, that's fine, but it's my bad luck that I have to have such an irresponsible father like you. It's all my fate."

"But you should at least be more self-respecting. You said you wanted to quit gambling, but when did you ever fulfill your promise? When did you ever not cry and beg me to help you? You are a grown man, don't you have any shame at all?"

The anger in her heart found a place to vent. Bai Lian almost vented all the grievances and resentment she had accumulated over the years, leaving Bai Sheng so angry that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Lian seemed to have said enough. She sat on the paint-chipped chair and looked impatiently at the father in front of her who was pretending to be her grandson.

Bai Sheng rubbed his hands and said carefully: "You must be hungry. The food is still hot. I'll bring it over."

The only response he got was a cold snort from Bai Lian.

Bai Sheng knew that the matter was temporarily over, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and trotted to bring the food to the table.

The fish was indeed as plump as Bai Sheng described. Osmanthus fish was his specialty. Bai Lian often ate it when she was a child, but she had never eaten it in all these years.

It would be a lie to say I don't miss it.

Seeing this dish, she felt like she was back in her carefree childhood, when her parents loved and spoiled her. Although they were not rich, they had enough food and clothing.

Bai Sheng served himself a little rice, and only dared to reach out his chopsticks to the vegetarian dish next to the osmanthus fish. He had no idea how the vegetarian dish was prepared, and it looked like it had no oil at all, but he ate it with gusto, as if this dish was even more delicious than the osmanthus fish.

He is really good at pretending to be pitiful. Bai Lian impatiently picked up a piece of osmanthus fish and threw it into his bowl, but said nothing and did not look happy at all.

But Bai Sheng seemed to have received a great gift from heaven.

On the second day, Bai Lian met Zhou Rui's family and was inevitably scolded.

If it wasn't for paying off a debt, Bai Lian thought, she wouldn't be here suffering like this.

Zhou Ruijia kept chattering for a long time, repeating the same few words over and over again. Bai Lian was really getting impatient, "Those two people are stubborn, I really have no choice."

Zhou Ruijia frowned, "Aren't you good at this?"

Bai Lian nodded with a wooden face, "I am good at this, but I never promised you that I could get it done. Now I don't want to do it anymore, you can find someone else."

Zhou Ruijia: "......You! Don't you want to make money?"

This question was like a fool's. Who doesn't want to make money? Bai Lian almost wanted to spit at her.

Making money is good, but if you overestimate your own capabilities, you are a fool. Neither of those two people is a lustful person. She has thought of all the methods she could think of, but it was useless.

"I have no other ideas. Let's wait until you come up with a foolproof plan." Bai Lian turned around and was about to leave. Zhou Ruijia hurriedly pulled her back and said, "I have an idea."
