General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 724: No One Believes My Sincere Repentance (2)

"Except for money, everything else is easy to talk about!" Ji Xiaomu's words made Li Hao even angrier.

"Why don't you believe that I have come to my senses! I've already told you that I have quit gambling, why don't they believe me!" Li Hao collapsed. No one believed him, not even his parents.

“Put yourself in his shoes. You said you had quit gambling, but it’s only been half a month and you’re back to being addicted. Look at any gambler who has stopped gambling after returning home in half a month. Don’t they all go home to ask for money under the guise of quitting gambling? And then take the money and go back to gambling.” Mother Ji looked at Li Hao and saw that his eyes were bright. He really didn’t look like a person addicted to gambling.

However, it is not something that can be quit in just one or two times. Some people quit gambling for a few days, then get itchy hands again, and think that they will not be addicted, so they go back to play a few more times.

"...Then what do you want me to do in exchange for your trust?" Li Hao wanted to cry but he had no way to refute Ji Xiaomu's words. He had followed the thugs to collect debts every day these days and had heard them say that gamblers can take a break for a while, but they will relapse and go back to gambling after a while.

Those who are out of shape are the more serious ones, but in fact, the facial expressions of those who have just learned to gamble are no different from those of ordinary people. They only become irritable when they are addicted.

"Why don't you go ask those thugs who took you to collect debts? They are in the gambling house every day, they should know how to stop gambling?" Ji Xiaomu suggested.

She knew something about gambling, but she couldn't guarantee that a person could really quit gambling completely. How could such a thing be guaranteed?

It's all about self-discipline. If you can control yourself, that's success. If you can't control yourself, that's failure.

This needs to be clarified by oneself, others cannot tell the difference.

"That makes sense!" Li Hao's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.

Looking at Ji Xiaomu, Li Hao suddenly bowed to her. "Xiaomu, I'm sorry for being so naughty and hitting your sister-in-law. I was managing the shop at that time, and everyone around me was trying to please me. I was a little bit flattered. I have never felt so capable since I was a child. I listened to those words and gradually took them seriously."

"I'm a bastard. I'm sorry for betraying your trust." Li Hao solemnly apologized to Ji Xiaomu.

Ji Xiaomu, on the contrary, looked up to Li Hao. This kind of courage to act and take responsibility and to admit one's mistakes is something that not everyone can do.

"You didn't hurt me. The one who was most hurt was my sister-in-law." Ji Xiaomu helped Li Hao up. "I let you manage the Ji family. On the one hand, I trust you. On the other hand, I also want to open your eyes. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes. The most important thing is that you can recognize yourself and correct your mistakes."

"Your closest person is your sister-in-law. She knows you made a mistake and can't stop you, but she didn't give up on you. She remembers your debt. It's such a huge amount, and it's obviously not her debt, but she is ready to bear it. She secretly told me that she would pay your debt, which shows that she firmly believes that you will wake up." Ji Xiaomu smiled and spoke for Lin Xiu'er.

Li Hao felt guilty, and his eyes turned red when he thought of everything Lin Xiuer had done to him. "I am sorry to your sister-in-law."

"Just remember it and don't tell anyone. My sister-in-law told me secretly and even my parents don't know." said Ji Xiaomu.

Li Hao, a grown man, was so moved that he shed tears. He turned his head away to wipe away his tears and said to Ji Xiaowu solemnly, "Xiaowu, thank you for telling me."
