Fu Xiao's face looked terrible, and he found it difficult to speak.
These days were the darkest of his life.
A few days ago, pressured by Fu Shuqin to marry Xia Ran, whom he was unwilling to marry, he felt so depressed that he went to the casino with his dubious friends to squander and vent.
Initially, he indeed won quite a lot, the money in hand alleviating his anxiety.
But the more he gambled, the bigger and more frantic the bets became.
By the time he came to his senses, he had not only lost all his assets but had also gambled away two branches in Jingcheng and his dividends from the Fu Family Corporation.
Fu Xiao panicked, instinctively trying to assert his authority as the third master of the Fu Family, hoping the casino would back down and refuse to take what he had lost.
But the casino was not at all intimidated by him. Instead, they had their thugs beat him up and gave him a three-day deadline to surrender the items he gambled away.
