Han Xiaoxiao sneered, "Five thousand? I wouldn't give you even fifty! Don't even think about getting money from me to gamble. You better give up on that idea!"

"You unfilial son!" the man exploded, "I toiled so hard to raise you, and now that you've grown wings, you think you can forget your father, is that it? You found yourself a rich patron, and now you no longer acknowledge your own father, right? How could I have fathered such an unfilial child!"

Han Xiaoxiao replied coldly, "Unfilial? Han Fei, do you think you have any right to say that? Since I was old enough to understand anything, you were either gambling or drinking, and after drinking you would beat my mother! It was my mother's needlework that raised me! What else did you do besides taking the family's money to gamble? A few years ago when Grandma got sick, my mother and I borrowed a few thousand by begging on our knees, to get her treated, and what did you do? You actually took Grandma's lifesaving money to gamble! You were the one who drove her to her death, do you know that!"

Han Fei's face showed a flicker of embarrassment, "What good is a few thousand? Nowadays, you can't get treated in a hospital without tens of thousands. Wasn't I doing it for Grandma's sake too? If I got lucky and won, I could have won several hundred thousand, and then there would have been money for Grandma's treatment, right?"

Han Xiaoxiao looked at her father still trying to rationalize, her eyes filled with sorrow, "It doesn't matter anymore. Grandma was hounded to death by you, and my mom has divorced you. Now we each go our own ways. You can continue your reckless gambling, and we won't care about you, but please don't disturb our new life, okay?"

Han Fei said with his neck lifted, "If you want me to leave you alone, it's possible. But you'll have to give me five thousand a month for living expenses. Otherwise, I can still come and harass you! Then I will let your school and workplace know what a disloyal and unfilial daughter you are, what a flirtatious woman, and see how you can still have the face to study!"

"You!" Han Xiaoxiao was about to explode with anger. She had thought that persuading her mom to divorce this scumbag would make their lives better, but she never expected him to chase her all the way to Yanjing from their hometown!

Taking a deep breath, Han Xiaoxiao said, "Say it, what's the purpose of your visit this time? You should be clear that I can't produce five thousand now. You're doing this only to make me agree to your terms, so just spit it out!"

Han Fei chuckled, "That's my clever girl, smart and sharp, truly Old Han's seed!"

"Sorry, but that's the biggest shame of my life!" Han Xiaoxiao responded coldly.

Han Fei was unashamed, "You remember Sun Xiaohu, right? The son of Sun Zhentian, the boss of Zhen Mountain Agricultural Machinery Factory. He was also your high school classmate!"

Han Xiaoxiao frowned, "What does that have to do with me?"

Han Fei chuckled, "Sun Xiaohu has taken a liking to you and wants to marry you as his wife. They sent a matchmaker to talk to me, and I think although Sun Xiaohu isn't great-looking, his family does own the agricultural machinery factory. They're considered well-off in our town, so marrying into their family wouldn't be a loss for you, so..."

Han Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in shock, "What? You want me to marry Sun Xiaohu? That guy who's not even one meter sixty and weighs two hundred and thirty pounds?"

"You're a university student, don't be so vulgar!" Han Fei chastised, "Don't just look at the surface, consider the inside! The inside, get it? The guy spent over a million just on his three-story mansion, they have plenty of money!"

Han Xiaoxiao scoffed, "If you admire their money so much, why don't you just marry into their family yourself? You're single now, anyway!"

"Look at how you're talking!" Han Fei exclaimed, "They've already sent the dowry, more than thirty thousand! I've accepted it all, just waiting for you to come home as the new bride!"

Han Xiaoxiao clenched her fists in anger, "We have no relationship anymore, and you're selling me off for thirty thousand? What do you think I am? Your private property?"

"I'm just trying to find you a good home," Han Fei shamelessly said, "and besides, it's our parents' order, the matchmaker's words. I've already arranged everything with them. Take a few days off and come back home, let's get the wedding over with first, and we'll talk about the rest later!"

"Impossible!" Han Xiaoxiao coldly glared at the despicable man, "Shameless, Han Fei, do you have any conscience left at all? I am not going back. My mom is here with me now; that place isn't my home anymore!"

With that, Han Xiaoxiao prepared to leave.

But Han Fei grabbed Han Xiaoxiao, pleading, "Xiaoxiao, just agree to it, okay? Even if you don't like him, you can just divorce him after a few years, right? After all, young people nowadays are open-minded, and it won't stop you from finding another man. But if you don't agree, I am as good as dead!"

Han Xiaoxiao stared at Han Fei, "Tell me, did you gamble away the dowry money?"

Han Fei sheepishly responded, "I was just gambling for a bit of fun, but my luck was bad, and now..."

"You've lost it all now?"

"I owe the gambling den more than a hundred thousand!" Han Fei clutched at Han Xiaoxiao's sleeve, saying, "Please, Xiaoxiao, if you don't save me, I'm truly dead when I go back! Not just the Sun family, but even the gambling den won't let me off!"

Han Xiaoxiao fiercely shook off Han Fei, "What's that got to do with me? Why should I pay for your mistakes? If you have the guts to gamble, you should have the guts to face the consequences. Don't worry, even if you die, I'll burn paper for you every Tomb-Sweeping Day!"

"Xiaoxiao, I am your father, you can't just watch me die!" Han Fei knelt on the ground, clinging onto Han Xiaoxiao's thighs, pleading, "I'm begging you, just be Sun Xiaohu's wife for a few years, just five years. After five years, you can do whatever you want, I absolutely won't stop you!"

Tears could not stop flowing down Han Xiaoxiao's face.

Ever since she could remember, her father only had two modes in her eyes, one was the frenzy of gambling, and the other was the domestic abuse after losing money and drinking! All her life, it was her mother and grandmother who took care of all the household expenses!

Two years ago, her grandmother was hospitalized from overworking herself, and their home was left destitute. All the money went to Han Xiaoxiao's tuition fees!

At that time, Han Xiaoxiao and her mother knocked on doors, begging for loans. In their desperation to borrow money, they didn't hesitate to kneel and bow their heads. At last, a kind neighbor lent them a few thousand yuan for the grandmother's medical treatment!

But when they got home, they were spotted by Han Fei, coming back from the gambling den. He snatched the few thousand yuan from his wife's arms and rushed back to the gambling den!

The money was taken before it even warmed up. After learning of this, the grandmother, over eighty years old, held her daughter's hands and said guiltily, "My child, I have let you down. I failed to raise my own son right, causing you both to suffer."

That night, not wanting to be a burden on the family, the grandmother jumped off the high building of the hospital and died on the spot, and it hadn't even been a month since the New Year had passed!

And at that time, Han Fei was still in the gambling den, enjoying himself!
