Xie Shizi's shameless daily life

Ah Ling buried his head in his chest and followed his girl into the gambling house with trembling fear.

The master and servant who stepped into the gambling house stopped at the same time, and both heads turned slightly and quietly towards the door.

Zhao Shu: Huh? No one stopped us!

Ah Ling: Huh? No one beat us!

The two turned their heads and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Ah Ling shrank her body and followed Zhao Shu closely. Then she looked up at her own girl, her eyes suddenly filled with admiration. Wow, the girl is amazing. Her expression and posture don't look like it's her first time in such a place. Instead, she looks more like a regular here.

Although Zhao Shu looked relaxed on the surface, her palms were actually sweaty and she was actually very nervous inside.

"Let me tell you, I made a fortune a few days ago."

"Don't you believe me? I really made a fortune!"

The people around the man burst into laughter, obviously taking his words as a joke.

"Can you please show us your fortune?" someone said.

"Yes, take it out and show it to us!" the people around cheered.

The man's face sank: "I, I lost everything yesterday!"

"Tsk~" everyone sneered.

No one paid any attention to the man anymore, and the crowd that had gathered around him dispersed.

The man spat fiercely on the ground: "What a bunch of dogs looking down on others!"

Zhao Shu threw a silver ingot to the waiter of the gambling house, then took a pot of wine and a plate of fried peanuts from his tray, and walked towards the man.

A shadow loomed in front of him. The man raised his head and looked at the person in front of him with displeasure.

Zhao Shu placed the wine and peanuts on the table in front of the man. The man looked at Zhao Shu with his chubby cheeks. Zhao Shu smiled at him and pushed the wine and peanuts towards him.

The man didn't bother to be polite with Zhao Shu. He grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them into his mouth. Then he picked up the wine jug and took a big sip from the jug.

The man ate two bites of peanuts and took a sip of wine, then ate two more bites of peanuts and took another sip of wine. He did not gamble himself, but watched others bet big and small with great relish, completely ignoring Zhao Shu who was standing beside him.

Zhao Shu was not annoyed. She pulled out a chair beside her and sat down naturally, imitating the man's behavior and watching the people in the casino betting big and small.

The man ate very quickly, and in a short while, the peanuts and wine were all gone.

Zhao Shu saw the man's fat hands grabbing in the peanut plate, but he didn't get anything, only a handful of air.

There was no more food or drink left, and the man finally turned his head around. Zhao Shu took the opportunity to put the wine she had just taken from the waiter in front of him.

The man tilted his head to look at her, then reached out and took the wine.

"Sir, I just heard you say that you know some chivalrous men?"

The man didn't say anything, and Zhao Shu wasn't in a hurry either. She waited patiently.

Just when Zhao Shu thought the man would not speak, he spoke: "I know him a little bit."

Zhao Shu clenched her hands, tried to steady her voice, and looked at the man with a smile: "Hmm?" She looked very interested.

The man took a big gulp of wine and looked at Zhao Shu and boasted: "Not only do I know those people in the underworld, but I am also very familiar with them."

"Oh, really?" Zhao Shu asked at the right time.

Seeing that Zhao Shu doubted his words, the man immediately raised his voice and said, "Don't disbelieve me, I met with them just a few days ago!"

Zhao Shu didn't say anything, just smiled at the man.

The man thought Zhao Shu didn't believe him, and said anxiously with a red face: "Really! I'm not lying to you! Just a few days ago, they asked me to help them with something!"

Zhao Shu still didn't say anything and continued to look at him with a smile.

The man said anxiously, "Just a few days ago, I helped them and they gave me some money."

Hearing this, Zhao Shu's expression finally revealed a little bit of admiration.

The man was so excited by Zhao Shu's gaze that he blushed and said, "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

There was a hint of disappointment in Zhao Shu's eyes. The man couldn't bear to see the beauty sad, so he stammered, "Just a few days ago, I went out of the city to do some business and happened to meet them. I happened to pick up their money and purses." The man seemed a little embarrassed, and scratched his head with red ears.

Zhao Shu showed her admiration at the right moment: "Young Master is truly a gentleman, as upright as a pine or a cypress."

The man felt a little embarrassed by Zhao Shu's compliment. He grinned, revealing two rows of yellow teeth, and for a moment he looked a bit honest.

Zhao Shu opened her eyes and asked curiously, "I guess after this incident, you have become close friends with them, right?"

The man blushed: "Well, I guess so."

"I guess their residence must be a paradise on earth as rumored by the outside world, right?" Zhao Shu looked envious.

The man's eyes flickered: "It's not that mysterious, it's just a very ordinary courtyard."

"Really?" Zhao Shu asked.

"Really, really."

Zhao Shu asked, "Where is it?"

“Right, right.”

The man hesitated for a long time but didn't say where the location was. Although Zhao Shu was anxious, she looked gentle and said considerately, "It's okay if you don't want to say it, I understand."

The man waved his hand: "It's not that I don't want to." He hesitated for a while, then looked up at Zhao Shu, then blushed, and finally said: "It's the house at the innermost corner of Muzi Lane!"

Zhao Shu got the answer she wanted, and suppressed her inner joy. She looked at the man worriedly and said, "Sir, does what you told me affect you?"

The man boasted: "How could such a small matter have any impact on me!"

Zhao Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

After getting the desired result, Zhao Shu wanted to leave immediately, but if she left now, it would inevitably seem that the previous conversation was a bit deliberate. Therefore, in the following time, she patiently talked to the man about irrelevant things for a long time.

Zhao Shu was talking to the man, but her eyes involuntarily drifted towards the door.

Seeing that her daughter looked absent-minded, Ah Ling walked up to her smartly and leaned over to whisper in Zhao Shu's ear, "Miss, it's time to go. The master will be angry if we don't go back." Her voice was not loud, but just loud enough for the man next to Zhao Shu to hear.

Zhao Shu seemed a little unhappy that Ah Ling interrupted her conversation with the man. She glared at her with her beautiful eyes, then turned to the man and said apologetically, "Sir, it's getting late. I have to go first, otherwise my father will be angry with me."

The man stared at Zhao Shu without blinking, and asked reluctantly, "Are you leaving now?"

Zhao Shu nodded apologetically: "Yeah."

The man was reluctant to leave: "Where do you live, girl? How about I take you there?"

Zhao Shu looked at him in embarrassment: "Sir, it's not that I don't want to, but if my father hears that you and I are traveling together, I'm afraid your life will be in danger!" As she said this, she turned her head to look at A Ling beside her.

The man looked up at Ah Ling, and Ah Ling looked back at him expressionlessly. The man suddenly withdrew his gaze as if he had seen some ferocious beast.

Seeing that the man was only as courageous as a mouse, Ah Ling withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.

The man looked at Zhao Shu and swallowed his saliva. He touched the back of his neck involuntarily and said with some fear: "For the sake of your reputation, I will not see you off."

Zhao Shu nodded in understanding: "Yes, young master is righteous."

Zhao Shu stood up and walked towards the door with Ah Ling. Halfway there, she stopped, turned sideways, looked at the man and said, "Sir, we'll meet again if we're lucky!"

The man looked at Zhao Shu's smiling face and almost blurted out the words "I'm not afraid of death". However, after seeing Ah Ling touch his neck carelessly, his fearlessness suddenly disappeared without a trace. He shrank his head and nodded hesitantly: "Okay."

Zhao Shu led Ah Ling out of the gambling house leisurely until they turned the corner and entered. After the gambling house was out of sight behind them, Zhao Shu quickened her pace.

Ah Ling trotted after her daughter: "Girl, where are we going?"

Zhao Shu kept walking: "Muzi Lane."

Zhao Shu had never been to Muzi Lane, so when she arrived at the street, she asked A Ling to ask for directions.

Zhao Shu stood in front of a perfume shop, waiting for Ah Ling.

Ah Ling, who was standing across the street, bowed to the person opposite her and then ran towards Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu took two steps forward, and after Ah Ling stood still, she asked, "How is it?"

Ah Ling nodded: "I found out. It's in the alley in front of the front."

Zhao Shu: “…”

Zhao Shu: "You go ahead and lead the way."

Ah Ling nodded: "Okay."

Ah Ling also knew that her daughter was in a hurry, so she did not delay at all and quickly led the way.

Zhao Shu followed Ah Ling, turning left and right, and finally turned into a deep alley.

The door of the house in front of me had a lot of small holes on it, and there were gray spider webs on the edges of the door. The wooden door was not firmly attached to the door frame.

Zhao Shu: “…” The hiding methods of these gangsters are quite clever. No one would guess that there is anyone living in this yard when seeing the concealed door.

Zhao Shu took two steps forward and raised her hand to knock on the door, but seeing the fragile wooden door, she put her hand down again, bent down, and looked inside through the doorway: "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Seeing no one answering, Zhao Shu called out again, "Is anyone home?"

Still no one answered, Zhao Shu thought for a moment and then shouted, "Whose money was lost?!"

Zhao Shu continued to shout, "No one claims it? Then I want it! So many banknotes, I don't want them to be in vain."

Before Zhao Shu could finish, a loud voice came from the door: "Mine! Mine!"

The fragile wooden door was hastily opened from the inside. Zhao Shu listened to the loud sound of the door opening and seriously suspected that if a little more force was applied, the wooden door would fall to the ground with a bang.

The person who opened the door obviously didn't care whether the door would fall down or not. He kept circling around Zhao Shu, muttering, "Where's the money? Where's my money?"

When he came to Zhao Shu, he pushed her and said, "Make way! You're blocking me from making change!"
