Money made it everything. The casino guy had thought that Renee couldn't come up with five million in a day.
He knew that Renee was no longer a member of the Xia family, so he had been rude to her.
Therefore, his eyes lit up when Rocco took out the cheque.
Renee's depression was all gone. What Rocco did greatly gratified her vanity.
Even Leo held his head high. Rocco seemed to be close to his sister. Although he didn't know who Rocco was, he believed that Rocco would be his backer.
Anyone who could easily pull off a five million was no ordinary person. Besides, Rocco looked elegant and noble.
When they left, Leo gave the casino guy a hard kick. "This is for you looking down on me. Bah."
The casino guy was not mad at all. "Mr. Xia, take care. You're always welcome here."
Leo strutted away. Renee was holding Rocco's arm. She was now pretty sure that Rocco was the one.
When they got into the car, Leo asked with excitement, "Sis, tell me who this handsome guy is!"
"Hello, my name is Rocco, and I am your sister's boyfriend." Rocco introduced himself.
"Sis, why didn't you tell us you had a boyfriend? Rocco, you are so cool! Thank you for helping me."
Though Leo said so, he took Rocco's help for granted. To put it correctly, he took anyone's help for granted.
Renee knocked on his head. "If you keep gambling, I'll just leave you alone. Haven't you learned your lesson from last time?"
"Sis, I know I was wrong. I didn't know I would lose so much money." Leo scratched his head.
"Fortunately, Mom doesn't know this. You know how weak she is. She can't take a hit like that.
"She made dinner for us last night, but where were you? If it weren't for Rocco, you'd be really screwed."
"All right, all right. Sis, stop blaming me. I won't gamble again. Let's go home now."
"I told Mom you were at your friend's place. Don't let it slip." Renee sighed. She couldn't do anything about her brother.
Leo nodded repeatedly. "Rocco, you must be loaded! Are you running a company?"
Renee glared at him. She never asked Rocco about his family background, because she didn't want him to think she was a gold digger.
She was willing to be with him even if he was poor. Leo'd got no boundaries, did he? How could he ask such a private question?
"Sis, why are you glaring at me? Rocco's gonna be our family soon, right?" Leo didn't want to let go of the cash cow.
