The shout was none other than Qian Shumei.
She had never expected that her luck, which had been exceptionally good today, would run out in this round.
From the moment she entered until now, how many rounds had ended with her victory? This hand, she had the most confidence in, how could she possibly lose?
But these were undeniable facts. Bai Suxiang had personally witnessed her being swept off the table by someone else.
"Sister Mei, are you alright?"
"I! Woo woo ~~ Impossible, they must have rigged it, otherwise..."
Qian Shumei broke down.
It wasn't that she couldn't afford to lose money. She had often lost in card games before, and she had been playing for twenty years.
But this time was different. Looking at the millions of yuan that vanished in an instant, her dream of being a millionaire seemed to turn into an illusion.
Bai Suxiang, wanting to comfort her, didn't consider her own status.
But none of that mattered anymore. A pauper who had lost all her money, who would care if you knew a few people or not?
"Do you have money? Lend me some, I'll pay you back as soon as I win it back!"
Qian Shumei blurted it out, no different from anyone else, especially those who were blinded by their losses.
"Me? I didn't bring much money, you know..."
Bai Suxiang explained.
How could Qian Shumei listen? Her mind was filled with winning it back.
"Oh dear, little sister! Brother here has money, I can lend you some first."
The speaker was a burly man. They were people specially arranged in such places.
"This, alright, how much can I borrow?"
"Sister Mei, you can't borrow! "Bai Suxiang advised, without considering her own predicament at all.
The burly man, hearing her say this, glared at her fiercely.
"Whether to lend or not is up to her, why are you meddling?"
After he spoke with a fierce tone, the people behind him immediately surrounded Bai Suxiang.
Liu Sandao did not move. If he wanted to deal with them, it would only take minutes. It was Qilin Yu who had asked him to approach Bai Suxiang and Qian Shumei, wasn't it to save her?
Now that her money was lost, she should be able to wake up. Without money, what would she use to gamble?
But Qian Shumei seemed very agitated, she grabbed the burly man: "Okay! Big brother, you lend me!"
However, before the burly man could speak, she fainted.
"Sister Mei! Sister Mei!"
Bai Suxiang cried out.
Liu Sandao used a spell. Didn't she want to borrow money? Seeing that she had fainted, how could she borrow money?
This even confused Soul Spirit Number Five, who thought the woman was too fragile and couldn't handle any shock, which was why she fainted so quickly.
The burly man was helpless. The person who wanted to borrow money was almost dead, did he want to lend money to a dead person?
Liu Sandao saw his chance and said, "Make way, make way! Come, I'll carry her, let's get her to the hospital quickly!"
This was just an excuse. The best course of action was to leave this place as soon as possible.
Liu Sandao carried Qian Shumei, walked a long way out, and headed straight for the Lucky Inn.
Along the way, he used his divine sense to monitor the soul, to see if it was following.
He found nothing.
Qian Shumei slept in Bai Suxiang's room until dawn before waking up. Bai Suxiang, after being informed by Liu Sandao of the reason for her fainting, was no longer anxious.
People are like this. Only when they calm down can they stabilize their emotions and recognize their own path. Qian Shumei was the same.
When she opened her eyes, she felt as if she had just had a dream.
Bai Suxiang originally wanted to comfort her, but she acted as if nothing had happened.
Seeing her like this, she wondered if she should be envious?
No matter how carefree one is, one cannot be indifferent after losing millions, especially someone who dreams of getting rich overnight!
Qian Shumei appeared exceptionally calm. After getting up, she even said she wanted to go back to the Lin family to work.
Bai Suxiang thought that perhaps by keeping busy, she would forget her troubles, and thus urged her to go quickly.
Qian Shumei did return to the Lin family, and everything seemed normal.
Lin Jiashan returned, and it was rare for the whole family to be together. Hao Yumei took charge of cooking, while Qian Shumei organized other household chores.
However, as noon approached, she received a call from her son: "Mom, the school needs tuition fees!"
"How much?"
"Ten thousand!"
"What? Tuition fees are this much?..." Qian Shumei was silent for a moment, then said: "Okay, okay, don't worry, Mom will figure something out for you!"
After hanging up, she paused slightly.
Her son's school was urging him to pay. It was the tuition and living expenses for the next semester.
Since divorcing his father, she had been raising the child alone. To ensure he had a bright future, she specifically sent him to study abroad. Of course, this was due to Lin Jiashan's help. She only needed to afford the tuition.
Speaking of which, the salary the Lin family gave her was not low. Given her education, this salary was considered top-notch in Wu Kui City.
For daily living expenses, she hardly needed to spend money in the Lin family. Her monthly salary was more than enough to pay tuition alone.
But who would have thought that she would fall into such a predicament?
Before she could regain her senses, a gentle voice said, "Sister Mei, what's wrong? Are you in trouble? If you have any difficulties, just say it, and we will do our best to help you!"
Hao Yumei happened to pass by the room Qian Shumei was tidying and inadvertently overheard her phone call.
Qian Shumei was still thinking about how to borrow money. Now, Hao Yumei had taken the initiative, saving her the trouble of finding an excuse.
She replied casually, "How can I bother you? Look..."
"What's there to be bothered about? I've told you. You are one of us in this family, and your affairs are my affairs. Tell me, how much more money do you need?"
"Alas, if it weren't for my unpromising younger brother back home clamoring to renovate his house and get married, I wouldn't have used my savings to help him first. Who would have thought that this school abroad would require tuition fees so much earlier?"
Qian Shumei tried to explain, lest she leave a bad impression on Hao Yumei.
If she knew that she had lost all her salary due to gambling, she probably wouldn't trust her anymore.
"That's abroad, not like here. Anything can happen. Tell me, I'll lend it to you first, and you can repay me when you're comfortable!"
Hao Yumei said kindly.
"One, three... Ten thousand!"
Qian Shumei struggled inwardly for a moment. She originally wanted to say ten thousand, then thought about borrowing more, but in the end, she still felt that borrowing ten thousand was enough.
This amount was not much for Hao Yumei, and it was within Qian Shumei's capacity to bear.
"Alright, I'll transfer it to you after dinner. Your child's education is a major matter. Once he learns his skills and finds a good job in the future, you'll be able to enjoy your blessings!"
Hao Yumei comforted her.
Qian Shumei was overjoyed to hear this. Hadn't she also longed for that?
