TGDS Chapter 43.2

Good Dad System (Arc 5) Chapter 43.2: Her Gambler Dad (2)

Li Haoran has always been thinking about the kind and beautiful Pei Tao, but he dared not approach her. Coming from an ordinary family, he was unable to bear the various burdens of his family. He often lamented the tragedy of his fate, but at the same time he could not help but be comforted by it – after all, his life was not that bad. But gradually, this liking became an obsession. He often dreamed that he could be like a hero, stand in front of Pei Tao, and bear the burden of life for her. Then she would fall in love with him and marry him.

 

All this will soon no longer be a dream.

 

Just one week after Li Haoran obtained the Godly Rich System, He had accumulated nearly two hundred funds in his pocket. When he changed into his newly bought brand-name clothes and was about to leave, he saw that Pei Tao’s door was full of unkempt tattooed men. They were sticking IOUs on Pei Tao’s door and splashing red paint on it. Those people glared at him and told him not to meddle in other people’s business. Li Haoran hesitated and did not leave. After a while, he saw Pei Tao coming out.

 

Although she looked very scared, Pei Tao gritted her teeth and refused to back down. She clenched her fists and tried to communicate with the men: “My father and mother are divorced. The court has already ruled that these are gambling debts, and my mother doesn’t have to pay them back! Don’t harass us again, or I’ll call the police.”

 

But the debt collectors would never reason with her. They just laughed and He said, “Then call the police. This is a civil dispute. You said the court has ruled. Fine, I won’t look for your mom, I’ll look for you. If you can’t stand it, ask your dad to come out.”

 

Normally, Pei Tao always smiled no matter how hard life was. She was as sweet as her name. But at that time, she was particularly stubborn: “I have lost contact with him for a long time. I also want to find him, but I can’t find him. Even if you beat me to death, he won’t come out.”

 

The men all laughed: “Little girl, we live in a society ruled by law now, who would beat you to death? We have plenty of time, so we can slowly sort it out. Methods are invented by people, so who made you unlucky enough to have such a father?”

 

Pei Tao’s tears were already welling up in her eyes, but she refused to show weakness and didn’t let them fall. Her tearful look made people feel sorry for her. Of course, the professional debt collector standing opposite her didn’t feel sorry for her. Instead, they laughed. Li Haoran, who had been blocked behind, felt that he had found his opportunity.

 

Li Haoran stood in front of Pei Tao and asked the amount of the debt. He told those people that he would pay the money back and asked them not to bother Pei Tao anymore. Pei Tao wanted to stop him but failed. She then tried to write an IOU to Li Haoran, but the other party refused. Li Haoran paid off Pei Tao’s father’s gambling debts several times – after all, to him, money was just a number, and the system would give it to him if he didn’t have it. Gradually, he broke through Pei Tao’s fragile heart and the two came together.

 

Regardless of whether there were financial disputes in the middle, at least when they were together, the two were in love with each other. If everything could go on so smoothly, it would not be bad. However, as the male protagonist’s wealth increased and his social status improved, there were more and more beautiful women around Li Haoran.

 

Later in the story, the people who appear around Li Haoran more frequently are a princess of a certain country, an agent of a certain country, a famous actress… I don’t know if the author forgot or the novel is not long enough, Pei Tao has long lost his name, and only readers often discuss whether Pei Tao got great benefits or was let down by the male protagonist.

 

Pei Tao, one of the heroines, is the daughter of the original body.

 

In most people’s minds, the The first half of the original body’s life could be considered smooth sailing. His parents were both factory employees, and they were hardworking. After purchasing the house built by the factory a few years ago, they bought another house outside. Of course, all of this was left to the original body. Before he started to struggle, he already had a small fortune.

 

Arranged by his parents, he married Wu Liping. They did not work in the factory, but followed the trend of the times and started a small business. They opened a stationery boutique store in front of the primary school in City B. They not only sold stationery, but also dolls, small accessories and the like. Relying on the traffic from several surrounding schools, their income was always good. Later, they opened a branch in front of a school in another urban area. His wife also gave birth to his only daughter, Pei Tao. The two took care of the child and ran the store. Everything was calm and peaceful.

 

Usually, Such a life should be smooth, but accidents often happen.

 

When Pei Tao was in high school, the family shop’s cash flow had stabilized, so they hired people to look after the shop on weekdays. Wu Liping focused more on taking care of her daughter, and the original self also had a rare opportunity to be free and unrestrained.

 

He met a friend, Brother Qiang, who ran a food stall in City B. In the years that followed, the original body had repeatedly wondered what the good brother who was always arm in arm with him and called him a good brother was thinking when he first led him into the pit of no return. Of course, there was no answer at that time.

 

The seafood and side dishes at Brother Qiang’s house are delicious and affordable. Many middle-aged men like to sit on their chair when they are free, share a table and have a meal and drink some wine. This is how the original body met Brother Qiang. After the two of them had a good relationship, Brother Qiang said to him mysteriously: “Do you want to have some fun? Aren’t you bored every day?” The original body thought it was some red-light district business at first and immediately refused. Later, after learning more about it, he realized that Brother Qiang was talking about the underground gambling house in City B.

 

The original body didn’t quite understand the truth that curiosity killed the cat, and with the idea that it would only make sense to give it a try, he followed Brother Qiang to the gambling house.
