Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Lixin Grand Hotel.

Wang Yaohua and Li Yuncui's wedding banquet is being held here tonight.

Time has flown by and it's already around five o'clock in the afternoon.

The work in the Wedding Banquet Hall is being prepared one after another.

Wang Yaohua pulled his parents aside and spoke in a low voice:

"Dad, Mom, the final payment for the wedding banquet hasn't been gathered yet, you two hurry up and think of a method."

Wang Zhangtian and Zhao Lifen both had ugly expressions.

"You stinky brat, didn't you borrow 50,000 Yuan from Wang Dashan last night? How did you blow through it so fast?"

Wang Yaohua's face was full of bitter helplessness:

"Dad, don't speak so loudly, borrowing money sounds bad if it gets out, it's not just your son's Face that's lost, but yours as parents too!"

Zhao Lifen sighed:

"Son, you're about to start a family, can't you be a bit more steady? The 50,000 Yuan Wang Dashan lent you could have solved all the problems!"

Wang Yaohua muttered:

"I saw he lent it so readily, thought I'd go borrow again today and maybe get a bit more, who knew he said he couldn't lend anymore, his wife controls the money, and last night his wife even scolded him."

Zhao Lifen said:

"I see that's just an excuse, he made it big in Guangzhou, long ago moved into a Dabie Villa, how could he possibly not come up with this bit of money, he just looks down on us!"

Wang Zhangtian couldn't help but say: "Him not lending is normal too, back when he had difficulties and asked us for money, didn't you also not lend to him?"

Wang Zhangtian still felt a bit guilty in his heart about not lending money to Li Xiulan back then, the reason he didn't lend back then was entirely because Zhao Lifen disagreed.

Estrangement between brothers often stems from the wife's reasons.

Wang Zhangtian and Wang Zhanggen's alienation was because Zhao Lifen didn't treat Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan as close relatives.

Zhao Lifen, however, said coldly:

"Is now the time to talk about these rotten sesame seeds and moldy millet? You hurry up and think of a method for me, this time our son's wedding, we invited so many guests, you don't want to lose Face in front of so many guests either, right!"

Wang Yaohua also hurriedly said:

"Yeah, Dad, hurry and think of a method, if not you go borrow from Wang Dashan, you're his Uncle, if you ask he probably won't have the Face to refuse."

Wang Zhangtian was unwilling, and also said:

"You go discuss with Li Yuncui, see if you can take 20,000 out from the Bride Price money to advance payment for a bit."

Before Wang Yaohua could respond, Zhao Lifen strongly opposed:

"How can that work? Wouldn't that just show our bottom to Li Yuncui's family? If they know we can't even afford the wedding banquet money, they might even call off the marriage on the spot!"

Wang Yaohua then said:

"Dad, if you can't get these 20,000 Yuan, I'm afraid I can only go borrow from online loans."

Wang Zhangtian had no method, could only say with a dark face:

"Okay okay okay, then later I'll find an opportunity to go chat with Li Xiulan."

Zhao Lifen displeasure:

"What are you going to chat with Li Xiulan for? She's that stingy, definitely won't be willing."

Wang Zhangtian, however, said:

"What do you know? If I, an Uncle, go borrow money from Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai, how much would I lose Face! As long as I persuade Li Xiulan, then they have no principle not to lend!"

And at this time, the Other Side.

Li Yuncui and Li Zhenxing, Luo Jiaxin, are inside the lounge next to the wedding banquet.

Li Yuncui is still thinking about her and Zhou Zhihao's matters.

Li Zhenxing is worried about the 120,000 Yuan usury debt he owed from gambling before.

Actually as early as a few days ago, those debt collectors had called him, saying if he couldn't repay the money before August 1st, they would come make trouble at the wedding.

Also don't know where those usury lenders got the news, knowing his daughter is getting married and holding a banquet today.

Luo Jiaxin is thinking, as long as today's wedding completes smoothly, she'll be liberated, because she's already set her heart, tomorrow she'll go handle Divorce with Li Zhenxing, and Li Zhenxing has already agreed.

A family of three, each with their own thoughts.

At this moment Li Zhenxing's Mobile Phone rang.

He took it out to look, discovered it was people from the Gambling Den calling.

His face immediately turned heavy, he hurriedly turned around and went out the door to pick up the call.

He didn't dare let his daughter know about his usury debt, didn't want to add worry to his daughter at this time.

"Feed, Brother Tiger, I'm already trying my best to gather money, can you be accommodating and give me a bit more time, three days, just three days, okay?"

A cold laugh came from the other end of the phone:

"Li Zhenxing, looks like you don't want to repay the money anymore, alright then, I'll bring people to Lixin Grand Hotel, your daughter isn't holding her wedding there tonight? I'll let everyone at the wedding know that you, Li Zhenxing, owe debts and don't repay!"

Li Zhenxing's tiger body trembled, a middle-aged big man, anxious to the point of almost crying:

"Brother Tiger, I'm begging you, don't do this okay, I really am trying hard to gather money!"

However Brother Tiger coldly laughed:

"Would I not know what virtue a gambling ghost like you has? Mouth full of lies! You say you're trying to borrow money, don't think I don't know, these days you haven't gone to gather money at all! Are you thinking that once your daughter marries off, you can just rot? No money, but you've got a rotten life, think I can't do anything to you? I'm telling you, I'll give you one last hour, if you can't gather 150,000, just wait for us to come eat at your daughter's wedding banquet."

Li Zhenxing was so frightened his face turned pale:

"Brother Tiger, don't be like this, please. Additionally, isn't it 120,000 Yuan I owe you? How did it become 150,000?"

Brother Tiger sneered coldly:

"Usury, you dead fool. Do you know what usury means? Owe 120,000 and only pay back 120,000 — would that still be called usury? You listen to me good: one hour's time, 150,000 Yuan, you handle it yourself!"

After saying this, Brother Tiger hung up the phone.

He runs an underground gambling den, moving in the underworld.

To manipulate someone like Li Zhenxing — no power, no influence, no background — is simply child's play!

Li Zhenxing looked at the already hung-up mobile phone, his whole person dizzy; he felt he was finished.

Him being finished doesn't matter, but implicating his daughter — then he truly deserves ten thousand deaths!

Right at this moment, Luo Jiaxin walked over.

She discovered Li Zhenxing's complexion wasn't right, and asked in a low voice:

"What's wrong?"

Li Zhenxing could only tell the truth:

"The gambling den people said if I can't produce 150,000 within an hour, they'll bring men here to cause trouble. You tell me what to do?"

Hearing this, Luo Jiaxin immediately turned pale with shock.

Then she was very angry:

"Li Zhenxing, you beast! If anything goes wrong with our daughter's wedding ceremony, it's all your fault!"

Li Xiulan gave a bitter laugh:

"Stop scolding. What use is saying this now? Hurry up and think of a method!"

Luo Jiaxin was nearly crying from anxiety:

"What method can I have? Where do you want me to go, in one hour, to find so much as 150,000?"

Li Zhenxing suddenly thought at this moment:

"Why not go borrow from Wang Dashan? Maybe he's willing to help!"
