Hearing Mrs. Chen’s words, the other ladies immediately nodded and echoed her. The chubby lady said, “Yes, Ms. Lin, we’re all natives of City W and our husbands are respected people with decent jobs. Mrs. Chen knows our background. You’re not a native from here and we know nothing about your family. Of course we can’t trust you and let you go just because of your words.”
Another lady also nodded and said, “Yes, Ms. Lin, mahjong is supposed to be a pastime. If you lose, you should pay the money. You can’t just run away after losing the games. If everyone acts like you, we won’t be able to enjoy the game in the future.” With that, she flashed a smile at Lin Jiao. “From what your niece said to you on the phone, I think you still have a chance to ask for their help. Just beg her again.”
Lin Jiao’s face turned red at the taunting of the other ladies and she sat down on a stool, saying, “Okay! Wait.”
With her hands folded across her chest, Mrs. Chen rose and went up to Lin Jiao. She gave a snort as she gazed at the latter and said, “Lin Jiao, do you know why you can’t walk out of this casino today?”
Hearing Mrs. Chen call her name, Lin Jiao looked up at her in surprise. Eyes cold, Mrs. Chen said in a chilly voice, “Do you still remember the woman who was kicked out of her home by her husband and committed suicide by jumping into a river three years ago because of you?”
Lin Jiao appeared startled at Mrs. Chen’s words. “What are you talking about?” she asked, looking at Lin Jiao with a frown.
Mrs. Chen stood up with a straight face, walked up to Lin Jiao to grasp her chin and continued speaking in the same cold tone. “The woman you ruined is my elder sister, Mei Aihua! I’m Mei Aiyuan, Mei Aihua’s sister. Lin Jiao, you really had a good time these three years!”
Hearing this, Lin Jiao suddenly pushed at Mei Aiyuan and retreated a step as she cried out, “Mei Aihua’s death has nothing to do with me! She jumped into the river herself. She wasn’t killed by me! Don’t talk nonsense, you hear!?”
Seeing that Lin Jiao still refused to admit her crime even now, Mei Aiyuan narrowed her eyes as she stepped forward, glaring at Lin Jiao. “It has nothing to do with you? If you didn’t seduce He Chao, how could he have cheated on his wife and thrown my sister out of the house?!”
“Nonsense! Aihua doesn’t have any sister. What are you talking about?!” Lin Jiao took a step back again. Every time she planned to seduce a married man, she would investigate his wife’s background. Mei Aihua was just an ordinary woman who grew up in an orphanage and then became a doctor. She had no sisters at all!
“Haha...” Mei Aiyuan gave a cold laugh and her gaze at Lin Jiao suddenly turned fiercer, as if she were trying to swallow the latter with her eyes. “Yes, my sister and I grew up in an orphanage. She loved He Chao deeply, but his family is very rich. I asked my sister to claim she had no sibling because I didn’t want to hinder her marriage, but that shouldn’t have been any reason for you, you shameless woman, to steal my sister’s husband and kill her!”
Her greatest regret was that she didn’t insist on asking her sister to tell people about their relationship. Her sister was afraid He Chao would think she lied to him, so she asked her not to expose their relationship and never brought her to her home. During their time in the orphanage, they were always bullied by others, but every time her sister would hold her in her arms and protect her from any harm. She was very grateful to and loved her sister, so she would meet any requirement of hers, but she didn’t expect her decision to indirectly lead to her sister being killed.
This was why when she found out the cause behind her sister’s death, she immediately ruined He Chao’s company and had him put into jail. Now it was the turn of this woman who was the culprit!
The other ladies looked at Mei Aiyuan in disbelief and shock. They hadn’t expected that the graceful and noble-looking Mrs. Chen was an orphan... They directed gazes of disgust at Lin Jiao. As housewives, they hated most the kind of woman like Lin Jiao who seduced married men. You can do anything in this free world, but why did you serve as a married man’s mistress and break up the family of another?! How truly shameless!
Lin Jiao had known that Mei Aihua grew up in an orphanage and her heart sank upon hearing Mei Aiyuan’s words, knowing that she was finished this time. No wonder this Mrs. Chen had liked to play mahjong with her ever since she appeared in this casino—it turned out that she had been targeting her early!
Seeing Lin Jiao keep silent, Mei Aiyuan gave a cold smile. “Lin Jiao, as everyone knows, a life for a life. Although you didn’t kill my sister, she died because of you. Now it’s time for you to pay the price for this. A hand in exchange for sixty thousand yuan. That’s a good deal for you, don’t you think?”
“How can you do this to me!? Are you aware this is illegal?!” Lin Jiao began to be afraid, as Mei Aiyuan didn’t seem like she was joking. Now she knew she was in serious trouble!
Mei Aiyuan gave an icy smile. “Illegal? Running a casino is also illegal. Do you think I’ll be afraid?”
Lin Jiao swallowed and took a step back. “I’ll call the police!” She began to dial into her cellphone when Mei Aiyuan winked at a bouncer, who immediately rushed over to take away the cellphone held by Lin Jiao.
Lin Jiao began to scream loudly the moment that bouncer approached her and cried out for the other gamblers to save her, but they merely continued to play as if they didn’t hear her. Lin Jiao yelled at Mei Aiyuan, “This is against the law. I’m going to sue you! My sister and brother-in-law are big shots in City A! They’ll definitely send people to save me!”
Mei Aiyuan sneered and was about to speak when a bouncer walked up to her. He was the one she had sent to Furao International. Mei Aiyuan turned her eyes to him and he said in a low voice, “Boss, a man who claims to be the general manager of Furao International wants to come in and take Lin Jiao away.”
Mei Aiyuan’s gaze glinted with coldness, whereas Lin Jiao’s eyes lit up. The latter cried out happily, “Look, I told you!” she continued, “I told you that my sister doesn’t dare to refuse me money. Now the people from Furao International have come to give me the money! Haha!”
The other ladies looked at Mei Aiyuan, who said to the bouncer coldly, “Go and stop him. No one is allowed to enter. Lin Jiao has to leave her hand behind before she can go.”
Just then, a handsome man entered the casino. Dressed in a suit and tie, he was so handsome that he drew the attention of everyone else present.
