Seeing Xiao Tian with his furrowed brows, Ji Dantong seemed to know what he was wondering about and explained, "Her stepfather is addicted to gambling. The family's income and expenses are all controlled by him. Sometimes, he even withholds food from the three women in the household just to take money to gamble."
"When he wins, he tries to score big, and when he loses, all he thinks about is winning back what he lost before, resulting in a vicious cycle!" Xiao Tian concluded, "With such a gambler's mentality, even a fortune wouldn't be enough to squander!"
Ji Dantong nodded in agreement: "This only strengthens my resolve to take her away. Such a promising talent cannot be allowed to be buried like this!"
"Have you thought about how to talk to her parents?" Xiao Tian asked curiously.
"What's there to think about?!" Ji Dantong replied with a curious look at Xiao Tian and then revealed a smug expression, "Just wait and see!"
