In a casino in the city of W.

Lin Jiao was sitting in front of the mahjong table, wearing expensive brand clothes, wearing thick makeup and red lipstick. At this moment, he had already lost all the money he had brought in gambling, but he did not seem to care when he spoke while holding the card. "Go away. Look at my clothes! Do I look like the type of person who will owe you money?”

The others present were familiar with Lin Jiao, as they often played mahjong with her, and she was usually generous so no one doubted her words. A fat middle-aged woman curled her lips and asked in Mandarin with a City W accent, "Miss Lin, where are you from? What is your husband doing? You gamble every day and still wear so well. I think your family must be very rich.”

He asked this because Lin Jiao rarely won in mahjong games. Even though he did not lose much every day, he would still lose money. With the money he lost in a month, he could even buy a 100 square meter house in City W.

Lin Jiao smiled at the question as she waved her hand and replied, "Didn't you hear me calling someone? I tell you, my brother is rich. His family owns a large company in City A. Do you know the Xiao group? My brother-in-law is president.”

The fat lady's eyes lit up after hearing the name of Xiao's group and she said, "Oh, it's a big company," then she continued," Furao International is a company under the Xiao group and I have a nephew who works there. The company is really top class. Does it really belong to your brother-in-law?”

Lin Jiao smiled and raised her eyebrows. "of course. Big star Xiao Jinning is my nephew. He gives me pocket money from time to time, so I don't care about money." With that, he threw the mahjong tiles onto the table.

Another well-groomed middle-aged woman gave Lin Jiao a disdainful look and with a faint smile, said, "Ms. Lin, you really are someone. Fully relying on your sister and brother-in-law, you are still enjoying your life." He picked up the mahjong tile, threw another one on the table and then added, "But I heard Xiao Jinning is not a child of the Xiao family but a bastard.”

Lin Jiao's face immediately changed. Just as he was about to speak in response, the fat lady immediately turned to the well-groomed woman and asked excitedly, "You mean that big star? Isn't she the daughter of a rich man? Oh, I remember she was only from that Xiao family!" She returned to Lin Jiao and continued to ask in surprise, "Isn't that Xiao Jinning your brother's daughter? Unfortunately, doesn't that mean your sister has been raising a stranger's child for decades?”

Lin Jiao smiled awkwardly in silence. The manicured woman looked at Lin Jiao with a twinkle in her eyes, saying, "Yes. And Oh, I heard they found their own daughter, but she was framed by Xiao Jinning so they couldn't reunite, and their daughter could only stay at her uncle's house." She was silent before continuing, "So it's really dangerous to have an actress at home. You won't know when he'll stab you in the back.”

Lin Jiao's face darkened and she said coldly, "Mrs Chen, I didn't know you were a gossip! Will you play mahjong or not?”

Chen smiled and glanced at Lin Jiao. "I, Ms. Lin, why are you so angry? We criticized that ungrateful Xiao Jinning, but we didn't mention you. Why are you so angry? Moreover, since Xiao Jinning dared to do such a thing, was she afraid of being talked about? And if he is, then why did he do it?”

Lin Jiao pushed the mahjong tile in front of her. "I quit. I don't want to waste time with you!”

Chen, who was playing with the mahjong tiles in his hand, and asked coldly, "Do I owe so much? I remember I just lost..."

Counting the money lost today, Lin Jiao pursed her lips. "I didn't bring so much money today. I'll bring money to you when I come here to play mahjong tomorrow. What's problem? I said, my mother and father asked my sister for money, and she would give them at least 10 million yuan. When the money is paid, I'll get at least half of it..."

Chen smiled and raised his eyes from the mahjong tiles to look at Lin Jiao. The corner of his mouth still appeared, he said, "But I need to see sixty-eight thousand yuan in cash now. If you can't give me the money today, Ms. Lin, I'm worried you have to pay a little price.”

As the boss of this casino, Mrs Chen has the final say here.

The fat lady pulled Madam Chen's hand as she looked at Lin Jiao and said, "Miss Chen, Didn't she say she is the brother-in-law of the boss of the Xiao group? Let's go to Furao International and ask for money.”

Hearing this, Lin Jiao hurriedly nodded as if grasping a life-saving straw. "Yes, yes, just ask your men to go to Furao International and ask for money. Mention my name, Lin Jiao, and they will definitely give you money!”

Chen looked at Lin Jiao as he said coldly, "You are as disgusting as maggots. I really feel sorry for your sister for having a sister like you.”

Chen, but he did not dare to act rashly because the casino guards had already surrounded him. He could only hold back the anger in his heart and said, "Miss Chen, you only want money, right? Just send your men to Furao International to get the money and let me go.”

"There's no hurry." Madam Chen looked at Lin Jiao as she leaned back in her chair. "As long as my men get the money, we'll let you go." With that, he winked at the guard, who immediately turned around and left.

Madam Chen said to the others, "Don't look at us. Play your mahjong." Then he called for another man to come and play a game with them. She began, "My daughter is studying in city A and she happens to be in the same class as that real daughter. She really is an amazing girl. According to my daughter, she is not only beautiful, but also ranked among the top in the class.”

Then she seemed to think of something interesting and continued, "My daughter didn't like learning foreign languages before, but now she tells me that she wants to learn from that Xiao Rou and understand the language of ten countries.”

Hearing Madam Chen's words, Lin Jiao sneered, "Can that country hick speak the language of ten countries? I'm afraid he hasn't even learned ten letters since he grew up in such a poor family!”
