The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 434 - 432

Qiao Guangzong was reluctant to leave; as he watched the money pile up, he wished he could gamble twenty-four hours without sleep.

However, after midnight, as if under a spell, his luck turned from winning to losing. Qiao Guangzong didn’t believe in such misfortune and insisted on winning it back, continuously raising his bets until the more than twenty million in his account was completely gone. He was dazed.

He was desperate to win back his losses, pulled aside by someone who told him it was only temporary; as long as he had money to continue playing, it was just a matter of time before he recouped his losses.

Qiao Guangzong believed in his luck, thinking it was too good to lose everything just like that. Egged on by the person, he took a five million high-interest loan.

Yet in less than an hour, that too was lost.

At this point, Qiao Guangzong was seeing red from losing, so he borrowed another five million.

The loss was even faster this time, and when Qiao Guangzong tried to borrow more, he wasn’t greeted by friendly faces. Instead, he encountered a group of fierce debt collectors.

"Pay up now, or we’ll chop off one of your hands!" They pressed him against the gambling table, a knife in hand!

"I’ll pay, I’ll pay, I’ll pay immediately! My brother is the CEO of Qiao Group. A mere ten million is nothing to him!" Terrified, Qiao Guangzong was ready to call his brother for help.

Someone signaled, and the phone was placed to his ear.

...

This year’s New Year’s Eve included not only the Qiao Family members, but also the three grandsons of the Rong Family. The whole family was joyfully gathered together.

Qiao Qiqi looked at her family’s smiling faces, feeling quite happy herself, especially knowing that the wrongdoers would get their just deserts. It was something truly gratifying.

She had been keeping tabs on Qiao Guangzong and was aware that under Li Xiaomei’s temptation, he had become obsessed with gambling, so when their father gave him a million, she thought it was good. Without capital, how could he gamble at bigger stakes? And what qualification did he have to be targeted by casinos as a big fat sheep?

"Brother, I’ve prepared gifts for all of you."

As Qiao Qiqi spoke, a servant brought over a few stones. She might not have much else at hand, but she had plenty of exquisite jadeite, so she selected three stones to give to each of her brothers.

Although Qiao Jiezhe was a bit miffed about having to share sister’s gifts with others, considering those two seemed to cherish their sister, he decided to let it go!

"Thank you, sister!"

"Thank you, sister!"

"Thank you, sister!"

Rong Yuan, Rong Yun, and Qiao Jiezhe happily accepted their gifts.

Rong Xun, "...?"

Was there none for him?

Seeing Rong Xun’s displeased expression, Qiao Yaozu cleared his throat and signaled his daughter. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Qiao Qiqi smiled and said, "Third Young Master Rong doesn’t want to acknowledge me as his sister, I can’t force him!"

Hmph, not fond of her but wants her gifts? No way!

Living anew, she’d only be kind to those who were kind to her!

As for those who disliked her, they could leave; she didn’t care who!

Rong Xun, "..."

Rong Yuan, ever the high and mighty CEO, was all smiles as he examined his jadeite. Being in a high position, social interactions were complicated, so this gift would be most useful for him.

Although Rong Yun was a celebrity and not fond of jadeite, he loved anything his sister gave him!!

And there was no need to mention Qiao Jiezhe; anything from his sister was treasured!

Elder Rong simply continued to enjoy his delicious New Year’s Eve meal, completely ignoring the undercurrents among the younger generation.
