C29 I Am an Old Man

She immersed her body in the bathtub. The suitable water temperature made Wen Xin make a comfortable sound.

His whole body was no longer sore.

Half an hour later, when she walked out of the bathroom in her bathrobe, she saw Lu Cangyao, his hair wet, open the door from outside and enter the room.

"Come here."

With a towel in her arms, Wen Xin understood what he meant and pursed her lips.

Alright, he's the boss.

She gently wiped his hair and carefully blew it dry. Wen Xin had just put down the hair dryer when her waist suddenly tightened and her body was thrown into the air. She was then thrown onto the bed.

This time, Lu Cangyao did it once and let her go. Wen Xin endured the pain in her legs and gathered her courage to ask, "Um, I have some things to do at home. Can I leave first?"

For the first time, a woman was lying on the same bed with him, and when she said she wanted to go first, Lu Cangyao's face darkened.

Feeling that the temperature in the room had dropped a lot, Wen Xin swallowed her throat and did not dare to make a sound.

At this moment, the man beside her lifted the blanket. She did not dare to look around. She only heard the sound of him putting on his clothes.

"Whatever."

Before leaving the room, Lu Cangyao left a few words behind. Wen Xin's eyes lit up and she climbed down from the bed.

When she was dressed and out of the room, the man was sitting on the sofa, his arms folded, as if he were busy.

Wen Xin walked up to him cautiously and pursed her lips. "Mr Lu, then I... will go first?"

"Mmm." The man did not even raise his head.

Wen Xin breathed a sigh of relief and walked to his side. She picked up her bag and left the apartment without looking back.

He closed his hand, and his dark eyes, like a storm, quickly disappeared again.

An hour later, his phone rang again.

Bang!

Wen Xin used the key to open the door and shouted in exasperation, "Uncle? Uncle, where are you? Stop hiding and quickly return the card to me!"

There was no sound in the empty room.

After making sure that Wen Changming wasn't home, she quickly took out her phone. After a long time, she heard the middle-aged man's voice.

Clearly, he was in a very good mood. His attitude towards Wen Xin had changed. "Baby Xin Xin, why are you looking for Uncle?"

"Where are you?"

She could already hear someone gambling on the other end of the phone. Her face turned pale!

Wen Changming, on the other hand, smiled and said, "You're making a lot of money. Xin Xin, don't worry. Uncle will soon let you have a good life."

"You, where did you get the money to bet? Uncle, are you going to sell me again?"

"Kid, why are your words so unpleasant? Look, if it weren't for your uncle, would you have been able to make it onto the list of rich people? So, this money should be used to show respect to your uncle!"

Money? What money?

Wen Xin suddenly felt her hair stand on end and had a bad premonition.

"Uncle, you touched the money in the card?"

"Yeah, I don't need a password. Aiyo, I don't have time right now. My luck is very good. I'm hanging up!"

She shouted a few times, but she could not stop Wen Changming from hanging up the phone. Wen Xin was so anxious that she was sweating.

So, what Lu Cangyao said at that time, was that he knew that Carrion was in a passive position?

"Uncle, you killed me!"

Half an hour later, Wen Xin took a taxi to the entrance of a row of single-story houses. She had been there once when she was returning the money for her uncle, so she remembered.

It was still foul inside. There was second-hand smoke everywhere. Wen Xin, who was wearing a mask, frowned and began to look for someone.

She did not understand. Her uncle had been deceived so many times. How could he still fall for it?

Why did they let him win in the first place? Of course, they wanted to take all the money in his card and make him lose it all in one go, or owe him more!
