"Before, I was indeed a scoundrel. Uncle doesn't believe I've repented now, but time will prove everything. I just want to see my mother."
Zhan Xiaojun's tone was very calm.
Lin Jing's eyes widened, "Damn! What in the world is going on?"
Was the sun rising from the west today?
Otherwise, how could his niece, whose mind had always been problematic, say such things?
She was like a different person.
It was as if a stranger was standing there, wearing his niece's skin.
"I'm going in to take a look." Zhan Xiaojun knew that talking more was useless. She needed to check Lin Ya's pulse now.
Lin Jing, who had a strong prejudice against her, grabbed her arm.
Zhan Xiaojun looked down. She almost flung him away, but she suppressed the ingrained habit of years of martial arts training.
She feared that if she shook him, Lin Jing would break a bone.
"I told you you can't go in! If I believe you again, I'm a fool. Zhan Zhicheng really went to great lengths, didn't he teach you a lot during this time? You almost had me fooled." Lin Jing sneered.
He was almost fooled!
He had almost wavered just now!
"She's my mother. If you're afraid of what I might do, just watch me," Zhan Xiaojun said.
Then, while Lin Jing hesitated, she subtly shook off his hand.
She walked directly in and stood before Lin Ya.
Lin Ya should be asleep now. Zhan Xiaojun felt even more that Lin Ya was frighteningly thin, with a layer of deathly aura surrounding her.
Zhan Xiaojun swiftly felt for Lin Ya's wrist.
Lin Jing, realizing belatedly, quickly followed in.
Seeing Zhan Xiaojun holding Lin Ya's hand, he found it even stranger.
Before Zhan Xiaojun came to Yan Cheng to acknowledge her father, she disliked him. If she accidentally touched him, she would be full of disgust and impatience. Now she was actually holding his sister's hand?
He furrowed his brow tightly.
He found Zhan Xiaojun too strange.
After taking the pulse, Zhan Xiaojun let go of her hand, her expression a little somber.
Without a word, she walked out of the ward again.
Lin Jing followed out, sneering, "I knew you had no good intentions. Seeing your mother so seriously ill, are you going to report the good news to Zhan Zhicheng?"
He hadn't managed to stop her just now, letting this little brat have her way.
"What did the doctor say?" Zhan Xiaojun asked in a deep voice.
"Hmph! With me here, she'll be fine!" Lin Jing absolutely refused to reveal the truth, but his eyes were a little red.
This was too much!
His sister had truly suffered her whole life!
He would not give up until the last moment and would find a way to earn money to save her!
Zhan Xiaojun pursed her lips, feeling utterly helpless. It seemed he wouldn't say anything. Forget it, she had a good idea of what was needed now. It would require some expensive medicinal herbs and her acupuncture techniques to significantly improve Lin Ya's condition.
However, she didn't have money on her right now.
A thought struck her.
Her eyes brightened, and she looked at Lin Jing, asking, "How much money do you have on you?"
Lin Jing crossed his arms, feeling like he had seen through Zhan Xiaojun. "Didn't you say you only have a father now and no mother? Zhan Zhicheng is so rich and influential, he didn't give you any money? So you're coming to me for money? Do you think I'm your mother, indulging your bad habits!"
"I don't want your money, I'll help you make money."
"What?"
Zhan Xiaojun directly dragged Lin Jing out of the hospital.
As they walked out of the hospital and saw the sky just beginning to brighten, Lin Jing realized belatedly, "Zhan Xiaojun, is there something wrong with your brain?"
"Uncle, trust me one last time. I promise I won't disappoint you." Zhan Xiaojun's tone was gentle, but firm.
Lin Jing's brows were knitted together. "What on earth possessed you?"
His tone was no longer as firm as before.
It seemed like she was serious?
Two hours later.
Inside Yan Cheng's only legal casino.
This was Lin Jing's first time here.
He never dared to come here. His colleagues who worked part-time would occasionally come when they saved enough money, but they always lost it all. The money he earned was needed to save his sister, so he never thought about getting rich through gambling.
He didn't know what had gotten into him today that he was tricked by Zhan Xiaojun into coming here.
Then, he took out all his savings, the ten thousand yuan meant for the hospital!
When he reached the gambling table, he only realized it belatedly. He snapped back to reality and broke out in a cold sweat.
But it was too late. The bets were placed. That ten thousand yuan had already been wagered!
When he came to his senses again, ten times that amount appeared before his eyes!
Ten thousand!
Sweat covered his head, he couldn't tell if it was hot or cold sweat. He looked at Zhan Xiaojun, who was calm and composed, and was simply stunned.
He even forgot whether he should speak.
"Uncle, bet it all on big," Zhan Xiaojun said with interest. It had been a long time since she'd been to a casino. Her third brother liked to gamble, and she had been capable of dominating the tables from a very young age, being very adept. Now, it was just like returning to a familiar place.
"Huh?" Lin Jing was completely bewildered.
Zhan Xiaojun glanced at the bewildered Lin Jing and directly pushed the hundred thousand yuan worth of chips forward.
Second floor.
A pair of cold eyes swept down to the first floor, landing on Zhan Xiaojun in the crowd.
Assistant Liu continued the previous conversation, "I thought I was mistaken, it really is Zhan Xiaojun. She's gambling in the casino, and her luck seems to be quite good."
Zhan Xiaojun looked up at the second floor.
A casual glance.
She quickly retracted it.
That person had been looking at her just now.
But she hadn't seen him in the original body's memories.
The man had a handsome face, comparable to her three brothers.
However, his gaze was too sharp when he looked at people.
"It's more than just luck," Ning Yecheng said, fiddling with his chips thoughtfully. Had she sensed him looking at her just now?
Assistant Liu didn't understand. From last night to now, they had seen Zhan Xiaojun twice in a row, and President Ning's impression of Zhan Xiaojun seemed to be positive?
Unbeknownst to them.
The chips in front of Zhan Xiaojun had already reached three hundred thousand yuan.
She had entered with ten thousand, and in less than an hour, it had become three hundred thousand.
The people gathered around were filled with envy.
The casino staff were unfazed. A few hundred thousand yuan was nothing.
Although most people who came here didn't win money, there were a few exceptions.
Zhan Xiaojun looked at the three hundred thousand yuan worth of chips in front of her and stood up.
"Uncle, let's go."
Lin Jing was even more bewildered than before. His head felt hot, his hair was soaked, and his clothes were half-drenched. He could only follow Zhan Xiaojun, carrying the chips with her and exchanging them for money.
Of course, it wasn't cash, but a transfer to his card.
After walking out of the luxurious casino, a gust of wind blew.
He shivered from the cold, finally snapping back to reality. "Three hundred thousand? You won three hundred thousand?! Am I dreaming this late at night?"
He had never seen so much money in his life.
And it was earned by the niece he disliked the most, who had brought him to gamble.
"It must be a dream!"
He slapped himself on the face.
