Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1042 - 1041: I’m Setting Him Up

"Oh?" Xia Xi lowered the steak she was about to put in her mouth, gently placed down the fork, and said, "So early, you can’t wait?"Jun Xing replied in a straightforward manner, "Ma Zongyu lost money last night and stayed in Wancheng. After breakfast, he headed straight to the casino, probably desperate to recoup his losses."

Hearing her husband’s name, Ding Suzhu paused slightly and hurriedly said, "Old Ma, what have you done now..."

Ever since Ma Zongyu got the Black Card, her heart has never been at peace, always fearing he would cause trouble, leaving her extremely anxious.

Even earlier today, when Xia Xi came to her, Ding Suzhu repeatedly asked questions, fearing she’d miss any news about Ma Zongyu.

Xia Xi gently waved her hand, signaling Jun Xing to leave. He received the cue and departed without a word.

Ding Suzhu was somewhat conflicted, wanting to ask but not daring, appearing very bewildered...

Gu Tong sliced the beef, and said plainly, "Mrs. Ding, don’t worry! Since the game has started, there will inevitably be a result. You’re the main character; there’s no reason not to inform you!"

The words were well-spoken, quite considerate...

But Ding Suzhu couldn’t remain calm; whenever she talked about her husband, her heart seemed to lose its rhythm.

She bit her lip, let out a bitter smile, and said, "I know, Old Ma is irresponsible. He gets into trouble every now and then... In the past, I could control him with money, but now he has this Black Card, and I’m afraid..."

Gu Tong ate another bite of meat, chewing a few times, and said, "What should come, will come. Some things cannot be prevented! You can’t hide, so it’s better to control him before he explodes, which also counts as a form of control."

Control him beforehand...

How Ding Suzhu wished she could!

But with Ma Zongyu’s character, she simply couldn’t control him. She didn’t have the right skills, and sometimes, even just talking too much made him consider her annoying.

If it weren’t for this reason...

Ding Suzhu wouldn’t have been forced to this point, even joining the game out of desperation.

To call it a game was more like saying it’s hope, because this game was set up by experts, igniting her confidence and the possibility of regaining the life she desired!

Ding Suzhu hoped Ma Zongyu could change, even just a little, would be good...

But obviously, it’s just wishful thinking.

Xia Xi leaned back in her seat, with food and drink satisfied, she calmly said, "Actually, he didn’t do much, just spent a night in Wancheng."

Just spent a night, that simple?

Ding Suzhu blinked and said, "He didn’t gamble there...?"

Gamble!

Of course he did!

Xia Xi wiped her mouth, without explaining further, she said, "If I set him up, what would you do?"

Her voice was calm and untroubled, not showing any emotion.

Ding Suzhu couldn’t interpret the meaning, only sighed, and said, "Someone harming him was just a matter of time... I expected it long ago... You harming him is better than outsiders doing so."

Essentially, Ding Suzhu is an honest person, not cunning, can’t strategize, and doesn’t think through many things.

To her, as long as the family is stable and the couple is harmonious, everything being well is her greatest wish.

Xia Xi heard this and grew interested, saying, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll involve you too, and all your years of hard work, everything could be gone~"
