"Today, even if it means hanging myself!"
"I absolutely will not leave the house to you!"
In the dim room of Qinghe Community, Jiang Yingsnow stood on the stool, gripping tightly onto the hemp rope hung from the beam of the house, her eyes full of tears and desperation.
For her, this is not just a house, but the lifeline for her daughter, Yuanyuan!
"Daddy, daddy, please wake up!"
"Mommy is about to be bullied by the bad guys…"
A pair of tender little hands continuously slapped Huayang’s face, her voice choked with sobs.
Huayang opened his eyes only to be greeted by a splitting headache.
He sat up, holding his forehead, looking around, and his heart jolted sharply.
He stared at the dim light around and the large patches of moss growing on the damp walls, the smell of soap permeated the narrow room.
The room only had a cracked round table and a chair with one leg higher than the other…
Three men, tattooed with dragons and tigers, stood in front of him, watching the woman in the house who was about to hang herself.
In an instant, Huayang's eyes were about to burst into tears, staring at the woman in front of him, this woman is Jiang Yingsnow, his wife who had hanged herself 20 years ago!
"Daddy, Yuanyuan begs you, please help mommy!"
The little girl's voice came again; her small hands tightly clutching a corner of Huayang's clothes and the streaks of tears on her face couldn't be more clear.
Huayang froze, tears streaming uncontrollably down his cheeks.
How could he be here, how could he have returned to twenty years ago?
He would never forget this day, when his wife, burdened by the gambling debts he owed, was driven to hang herself.
His daughter also passed away not long after, unable to afford her medical bills.
Later, the house at home was relocated, he received compensation, and from then on, he resolutely went into business, investing in the healthcare industry. Twenty years later, he headed the world's largest healthcare group, with a net worth of trillions.
But his wife and daughter had never returned...
He never thought that in this life, he would have the chance to see his wife and daughter again!
"You dare to play the tough game with me?"
"Fine, if you hang yourself on the spot today, the money Huayang owed in the past will be written off!"
Chen Shuai, the house's debt collector, smirked at Jiang Yingsnow.
In his many years of debt collecting, he had seen all sorts of situations. Those who threatened to hang themselves were merely bluffing.
Jiang Yingsnow turned back and glanced at Yuanyuan and the awakened Huayang, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Yuanyuan, you must do as your father says..."
As her voice trailed off, she kicked the stool away from under her feet and tightened her grip on the hemp rope.
In an instant, her body fell, the rope tightened around her neck, and a suffocating sensation caused Jiang Yingsnow's limbs to flail violently!
Chen Shuai, who was on the side demanding money, was also stunned. He didn't expect that Jiang Yingsnow would actually dare to hang herself?
Everything before Jiang Yingsnow's eyes turned black. Just as she was nearly suffocating, a pair of strong hands lifted her up and held her down.
"Wife!"
"Wake up, wife!"
"We don't need this house anymore, we don't need this house anymore!"
Huayang carefully laid Jiang Yingsnow down, tears streaming down his face as he looked at her. He had suffered for twenty long years, a whole twenty years!
He didn't want to experience the pain of losing his loved one again!
In his previous life, due to his cowardice, he watched, helpless, as Jiang Yingsnow hung herself right in front of him!
In this life, even if it meant fighting with his life, he wouldn't let Jiang Yingsnow die again!
Jiang Yingsnow started to cough violently, clutching Huayang tightly, and looked at him: "The house, the house cannot be given away…"
"The house, it's for Yuanyuan, for Yuanyuan's medical treatment!"
Huayang trembled violently, his daughter Yuanyuan, had been suffering from a congenital heart disease since birth. Medical expenses had essentially drained the entire family's funds.
Now, with an impending surgical operation, and rumors of a potential relocation of their house circling around.
With this amount of money, Yuanyuan could finally get the surgery. That's why Jiang Yingsnow would rather die than give away her house for her daughter!
It was precisely because of this house that he was targeted by Chen Shuai and others, tricked into a gambling match, and ended up incurring a huge amount of gambling debt!
"But this house can't be relocated for now!"
"In the past life, Jiang Yingxue also threatened suicide, dying before his eyes, yet the matter of housing relocation unfolded with many complications."
"Not until the illness of Yuanyuan got worse again, was the relocation news finally confirmed on the day she left!"
"Huayang dried his tears, looking at Jiang Yingxue."
"God gave me a second chance to do it all over again, I will not let you and Yuanyuan down again!"
"He stood up, turned to look at Chen Shuai."
That sharp gaze, like the eyes of an eagle, his aura completely changed.
Chen Shuai's heart skipped a beat, yet he still pretended to be calm: "Huayang, stop acting in front of me!"
"If you don't give me the house today, I'll kill your whole family!"
Chen Shuai swung his steel rod, revealing his coiled dragon tattoo on his chest.
Ever since he heard about the relocation, he had his eyes on Huayang's house.
The location of this house was excellent, and if it was acquired, the relocation compensation could easily reach 300,000!
Huayang looked at Chen Shuai and sneered.
"So it's just a house!"
"What can you do even if it is given to you?"
"Thirty thousand yuan, and I'll sell you this house today!"
"Plus the previous gambling debts, consider them cleared in one stroke!"
Twenty years on, business opportunities are everywhere. As long as he has money, what's to stop him from returning to the peak, allowing his wife and daughter to live a good life?
What's the 300,000 yuan from the relocation compensation compared to that?
The fact that Jiang Yingsnow and Yuanyuan are still alive is far more significant than anything else.
Upon hearing these words, Chen Shuai furrowed his brows.
The 30,000 yuan, added to the earlier gambling debts owed by Huayang, only amounted to 50,000 yuan.
After the house undergoes relocation, it could be worth 300,000 yuan. It's guaranteed profit, zero loss.
"Fine, one stroke and our previous scores are cleared, I will have someone bring you the 30,000 yuan right away!"
After Chen Shuai finished speaking, his follower immediately pulled out 30,000 yuan and slammed it on the table.
When Huayang saw the money, he didn't hesitate for a moment. He pulled out the deed to the house, ready to hand it to Chen Shuai.
But before he could hand over the deed, Jiang Yingsnow rushed out, blocking his way.
"No way!"
"Huayang, our house is about to be relocated!"
"If you give the house to him, what will happen to Yuanyuan's illness?"
Hua Yang hurriedly supported Jiang Yingxue.
"Wife, believe me, he can't demolish this house..."
"I'll find another way for the medical expenses."
Jiang Yingxue looked at Hua Yang with teardrops filling her eyes. She raised her hand and violently slapped him across the face.
With a sharp smack!
Hua Yang's face turned beet red.
At this moment, all Jiang Yingxue possessed towards Hua Yang was despair, nothing but despair.
Everyone knew that the house was to be relocated. However, she never, never imagined that Hua Yang would blatantly lie for thirty thousand yuan, even intending to pledge the house to Chen Shuai!
"You could even lie to me so blatantly?"
"What can you possibly do?"
"Other than gambling and heavy drinking, what can you possibly do?"
"Hua Yang, Yuanyuan is your daughter!"
"Do you just want to sit back and watch her die?"
Hua Yang could feel the stinging sensation on his face, these years, he owed Jiang Yingxue too much.
So much so that a single slap wouldn't suffice.
Jiang Yingxue, seeing Hua Yang clutching the property deed so tightly, she pointed at the rope hanging from the roof.
"Hua Yang!"
"Today, if you dare to give him the deed!"
"I will die here in front of you!"
