Chapter 899: 655 A Stone Stirs Up Thousands of Waves (4k, thanks for the tips!)_2

Cai Kang didn’t mind, and shamelessly followed up.

"After a few months, big sister, you look even younger."

Si Tai completely ignored him, "Go ahead, what is it this time?"

Cai Kang smiled awkwardly, after all, she was his own sister, there was nothing to be shy about. After a brief hesitation, he quickly clarified his intention, "Sister, could you lend me some money?"

"You can leave now."

Si Tai simply said.

Cai Kang was slightly stunned, quickly adding, "Sister, I’m not asking for much, just five billion, just five billion."

Si Tai’s lips curved up, sketching a cold, unfriendly smile.

"Just five billion? Cai Kang, you really have a big mouth now."

Cai Kang’s expression was complex, he spoke solemnly, "Sister, you don’t know, recently, my company encountered some trouble. Some unscrupulous hospitals, because of their own mistakes, caused medical accidents, and all the blame was pushed onto me. Sister, because of this, I’ve been unable to eat or sleep, begging people everywhere, look, I even have gray hair now."

Saying this, Cai Kang raised his hand to mess with his hair, and true to his word, there really were a few strands of white hair.

But Si Tai was indifferent, coldly saying, "If you weren’t at fault at all, could others simply falsely accuse you?"

Cai Kang lowered his hand, didn’t continue to explain, but spoke passionately, "Sister, I’m only short of five billion now, just this little bit of money and I can get through this crisis. Sister, you can’t just watch me die, can you?"

Normally, playing the emotional card indeed was an unbeatable tactic, but this time Cai Kang’s luck was poor, choosing the wrong moment.

"Watch you die?"

Si Tai sneered even more, "Tell me, over these years, how many times have I helped you? Mr. He specifically instructed that no family members should gamble, but what did you do? Who solved the debts you owed those casinos? Do you know how much criticism I’ve entrenched in the He Family because of you?"

Although he was the Uncrowned King of Haojiang, the king of half of Casino City’s empire had indeed set family rules forbidding the He family members from personally gambling.

Technically, Cai Kang could hardly be considered a He family member, but these relatives, leaning on the He family tree, dared not visibly defy its rules.

Thus Cai Kang sought other paths; not all of Haojiang’s casinos were owned by the He family.

"Sister, you know I had no choice, going to the casinos was all to entertain guests. I’m doing business in the inland, I have to establish connections, right? No one helped me."

Cai Kang sounded like he was grieving, yet also complaining.

A nephew of the Casino King was truly an extraordinary status, but if placed in the inland, its influence inevitably lessened.

Plus, the Casino King had more than one wife, and Si Tai’s room was the most declining one in the He family, which was already brimming with many members; combining all the external relatives made it almost "bloated."

And his own abilities weren’t extraordinary; how could he distract the Casino King?

"Alright, you don’t have to tell me all this."

Si Tai had no patience to continue listening to these old, trite excuses, which almost always were similar whenever he came by.

There’s a saying that a married daughter is like spilled water, but she wasn’t a heartless person; over the years, she had always done her best to help her parental family, but that was in the past.

In this situation, she herself was like a clay Buddha crossing the river, hardly in a position to help anyone else.

"You should ask someone else for help, I have no money."

"That’s impossible!"

Cai Kang vehemently denied, adding firmly, "Just five billion, sister, it’s impossible that you don’t have it."

Si Tai almost laughed out of anger, even wanting to have this brother thrown out.

"Cai Kang, do you know what time it is? Our gambling license has expired, and the bidding for it is happening right now..."

Cai Kang clearly understood this important matter, but he was even more aware of the He family’s weight in this region.

"Isn’t it just a formality?"

He instinctively said, dismissively.

"A formality?"

Si Tai finally could not suppress her accumulated emotions, and raised her voice, "The first auction has already ended, and we lost; we’ve already lost one gambling license!"

Cai Kang was immediately stunned.

Lost?

"How is that possible..."

He couldn’t believe it, and suddenly remembered the strange behavior of the casino manager Ji Shen earlier.

"Sister, you’re joking with me, right?"

He still couldn’t believe it.

"Joking? I wish I was joking."

Cai Kang was lost in thought.

"We’re all trying to raise funds, yet you come asking me for money."

Cai Kang’s mind was a bit dazed, still unable to accept this bombshell.

The essential nature of a gambling license to the He family was self-evident, and now they had actually lost one.

Could it be that the old saying was true.

—Unexpected storms?

Was Casino City in The East really about to change?

Cai Kang was lost in his own mental world, his expression constantly changing.

"... Sister, is the situation really that serious?"

Several seconds later, he tentatively asked with caution.

Madam Four’s face was cold, "Lately, you should come less often. You’re already in such a difficult situation, I don’t want to ask you for money."

"..."

Cai Kang looked embarrassed.

"Sister, you must be joking. The He Family doesn’t need my help."

Madam Four didn’t respond.

Cai Kang certainly wasn’t foolish. After briefly absorbing the shocking news, he couldn’t help but lower his voice, "Sister, the Casino King has passed on. I think, isn’t it time for you to consider for yourself and Yi Hui?"

To ordinary people, it might seem comical, though he was a younger brother-in-law, he really hadn’t seen the Casino King a few times.

Madam Four remained silent.

She knew exactly what her brother was thinking.

To be honest, she still had some funds in reserve, even at this point she hadn’t taken it out.

Of course.

She probably wasn’t the only one.

She believed the other branches probably did the same.

However, this was irrelevant.

In a competition easily involving billions, whether she deployed this money wouldn’t critically impact the final result.

"Don’t forget who you owe your status to today."

Madame He was expressionless and immediately showed him out, "You can go back now."

Cai Kang hesitated, ultimately saying nothing, braced himself on his knees, stood up, and paused.

Madam He didn’t even glance at him.

Seeing this, Cai Kang could only walk towards the exit.

"Uncle."

At the door, He Yihui came face to face, apparently just back from outside.

Her demeanor was somewhat aloof, but she was still quite polite.

After all, upbringing and personality are two different matters.

"Where did you go?"

Cai Kang stopped and squeezed out a smile for his niece.

"Just walked around outside."

Cai Kang looked down and noticed the poodle his niece was holding.

She had gone out to walk the dog.

"Spend more time at home with your mommy recently."

Cai Kang said warmly.

He Yihui nodded.

Cai Kang smiled, "Uncle has some things to take care of, I’ll leave now."

He Yihui didn’t hold him back, watching as Cai Kang left and then entered the hall with the dog.

"Mommy, Uncle seemed to be in a bad mood."

She really was observant.

Cai Kang tried to hide it, but it was still noticed.

Just this skill alone should be enough for young master Guo to learn from.

"Why do you only care about others? Do I look good?"

The maid respectfully came over to take the dog away.

"Another argument?"

He Yihui sat down in the spot Cai Kang had just occupied.

Madam Four shook her head, "Mommy doesn’t have the energy to argue with him now. Man should not be overly ambitious; destiny is shaped by birth, and life is determined by fate; why bother with cunning schemes. Your daddy was quite right about your uncle, he came to borrow money again."

"Mommy didn’t lend it?"

"I don’t have the money to lend him now. Even if I did, it’s not advisable. Otherwise, if your aunts find out, who knows what they might think."

"It should have been like this earlier. Uncle relies too much on Mommy, and such dependence isn’t good for him."

Madam Four was momentarily stunned.

Was this girl starting to lecture her?

After a brief moment of daze, Madam Four’s face turned serious, and she stared intently at her daughter.

"Are you hiding something from Mommy?"

Before He Yihui could speak, Madam Four continued, "Think carefully before you answer. Mommy taught you from a young age that lying is not a good habit."
