"Wang Qiang, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Jiao explained: "Su Mu and I just had a meal, why do you always doubt our relationship?"
Although Lu Jiao had some thoughts about Su Mu, she had given up the idea after learning that Su Mu already had a girlfriend.
Now that Wang Qiang said these words in front of Su Mu, she felt very embarrassed.
Moreover, it is not that she has no feelings for Wang Qiang at all, and she does not want to hurt Wang Qiang's heart too much.
But Wang Qiang obviously didn't believe it.
"Jiaojiao, don't deny it. I know you like Su Mu. You have had a soft spot for Su Mu since you were in school."
"Su Mu is a good person. If I can't go ashore, you can follow Su Mu from now on."
Su Mu sat aside, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Wang Qiang, you really misunderstood. Lu Jiao and I just had a meal." Su Mu explained.
"Su Mu, no need to explain, I understand. Jiaojiao is a good girl. Although she is divorced, she is definitely a good woman who can live a good life. Don't dislike her."
"If I hadn't gone the wrong way, I definitely wouldn't have given her up to you."
Lu Jiao was a little angry, "Wang Qiang, can you please stop pretending to be affectionate here? If you really loved me and Yaoyao, you wouldn't gamble again and again."
"Although we are not rich, we still live a decent life. Just because of you, our family has been broken up. Why are you pretending to be here now?"
Wang Qiang was scolded by Lu Jiao so much that he didn't know how to reply.
"Jiaojiao, I...I also wanted to make more money so that you can live a good life, so I got involved in gambling."
"Then you mean to blame us?" Lu Jiao asked.
"Of course not." Wang Qiang quickly objected, "It's my fault. I was eager for success and didn't follow the right path. It's my own fault. I just suffered for you two."
Su Mu persuaded, "Okay, stop arguing, Wang Qiang, sit down and have something to eat together."
Wang Qiang glanced at Lu Jiao and saw that Lu Jiao had no intention of driving him away, so he sat down carefully.
"Wang Qiang, Lu Jiao, the three of us have been classmates for many years. It's rare to get together today, so let's forget about those bad things and have a good meal."
Wang Qiang quickly echoed: "Yes, Su Mu is right, Jiaojiao, let's have a good meal and don't let Su Mu laugh."
With that said, Wang Qiang took some food to Wang Yaoyao and asked lovingly: "Yaoyao, you haven't seen your father for a few days. Do you miss your father?"
Wang Yaoyao nodded obediently, "I think so, but mom says dad is a gambler and has lost all the family's money, so she won't let you live with us."
"Yao Yao, be good. It won't be long before dad will win back the lost money. When the time comes, he will help Yaoyao buy her favorite stuffed toy, okay?"
Looking at this family, Su Mu felt a lot in his heart.
It seems that gambling can really ruin a lot of people.
If Wang Qiang didn't gamble, this family would be considered a happy family.
"Su Mu, long time no see. Let's have a drink together, brothers."
After the three of them had finished their meal, they walked out of the restaurant.
Just when the three of them were about to separate, five men with fierce faces came over.
"Wang Qiang, stop here, boy!"
When Wang Qiang saw this, he immediately signaled Lu Jiao to leave.
"Jiaojiao, take Yaoyao and leave quickly. These people are here to find me."
As soon as he finished speaking, five men surrounded Wang Qiang.
And Lu Jiao was not so heartless. Seeing that Wang Qiang was in danger, she did not leave.
A man with a wolf head tattoo on his neck said: "You bastard can really hide. Where is the money you owe us?"
Wang Qiang said: "Brother, please be accommodating to me for a few more days, and I will definitely return the money to you in a few days."
"Don't do this to me. You must pay back the money today, or I will destroy you!" The tattooed man was not that easy to talk to.
But where could Wang Qiang get the money? He had already lost so much that he was penniless, and even eating was a problem.
"But I really have no money now. It's useless even if you hit me. Just be accommodating to me for a few more days. When I have money in a few days, I will give it to you personally."
"It's useless to hit you?" The tattooed man snorted coldly, "Whether it's useful or not, you'll know after I hit you."
With that said, several people were about to take action.
"Uncle, don't hit my dad!"
Seeing that Wang Qiang was about to be beaten, Wang Yaoyao quickly shouted: "Please, don't hit my dad."
Lu Jiao immediately picked up Wang Yaoyao and looked at the gangsters warily.
The tattooed man looked at Lu Jiao and her daughter, with a hint of evil in his eyes.
"This bastard is so lucky to have such a beautiful wife!"
Wang Qiang immediately stopped in front of Lu Jiao, "If you have anything to do with me, she and I have divorced, and my affairs have nothing to do with her."
"Oh? Really? Well, let's cripple you first."
With that said, the tattooed man kicked Wang Qiang in the abdomen and kicked him out.
"Stop, don't do anything."
Lu Jiao couldn't bear Wang Qiang being beaten and quickly stopped him.
The tattooed man sneered: "Why stop? If he doesn't pay back the money he owes, he should be beaten."
Lu Jiao said: "How much money does he owe you? I'll help him pay it back."
"Eight hundred thousand!" The tattooed man made a gesture.
Wang Qiang, who fell to the ground, shouted loudly: "You're talking nonsense. It's obviously 600,000. When did it become 800,000?"
"You've been in debt for so long, don't you have to pay interest? The extra two hundred thousand is interest!"
"You're farting, how can there be such a high interest rate? That 600,000 yuan already includes interest!"
As soon as Wang Qiang finished speaking, he was greeted by a burst of punches and kicks.
Wang Yaoyao was so frightened that she cried when she saw her father being beaten.
"Don't hit my dad. You are all bad people. Don't hit my dad! Wuwuwu..."
Lu Jiao quickly covered Wang Yaoyao's eyes.
"Don't fight now, we have something to discuss."
The tattooed man made a gesture, and the gangsters stopped.
"Of course we can discuss it. If you want to help him pay back the money, then hurry up. We don't have that much time to chat with you."
Lu Jiao knew that these people were not easy to mess with, but she couldn't bear to watch Wang Qiang being beaten.
She originally wanted to help Wang Qiang return the money, but when she heard the figure of 800,000, she felt powerless.
Even if she gets a commission of 400,000 yuan this month, it won't be enough.
"Let's do this. I'll pay you back 400,000 yuan next month and pay back the rest slowly. What do you think?" Lu Jiao asked.
"Do you think we are stupid? Four hundred thousand, next month? What if you run away? Where should we find you?"
The tattooed man had a fierce expression on his face, "I'll make my words clear. If we can't come up with 800,000 yuan today, we will kill one of his legs."
"But..."
The tattooed man looked at Lu Jiao lustfully, "I'm not that cruel. I can give you another choice."
