Chapter 589
ine hadpletely fallen into a pit. She did not realize that she had already fallen into a trap. All
she could think about was how she could win her money back. 5
Therefore, ine got very nervous when she heard that Linda did not want to continue ying
anymore. At this time, she blurted out immediately, "How can w e stop ying just because you
want to stop ying now?! We already agreed to y another eight rounds! We have only yed
three rounds now!" 2
Linda replied helplessly, "Sister ine, it''s not that I d 0 not want to y with you anymore.
However, the point is that you do not have the money to y with u s anymore!" 1
After she was done speaking, Linda said, "Why don''t w e take a step back instead? Why don''t you
settle this ount first and then, we can y a smaller game? I will still apany you to y
even if it is a one thousand dors or one hundred dors game. Will that be fine?”
"One thousand dors? One hundred dors?" ine blurted out anxiously. "How could we do that?
How can I possibly win my money back if we are only going to ce such small bets?" 1
Linda replied helplessly, "Well, if you want to continue betting ten thousand dors, you have to take
out your
money first. Otherwise, I do not want to y anymore and we will just stop ying today." 1
Hannah hurriedly stepped in and said, "Sister Linda, ine really does not have so much money on
hand. Since we are all friends, why don’t you give her a way out?" 1
After that, Hannah secretly winked at Linda.
Linda immediately understood what Hannah was trying to tell her. "Alright then, I will give you face
today because of Hannah. If you do not have any more cash, you can use something else of equal
value as a mortgage instead."
As soon as Linda said these words, ine suddenly felt as though she had been given a way out of
hell.

ine hurriedly replied, "The house that I am living in now is a small three-bedroom apartment. I
think it should be worth two million dors at least. Is it okay i f I mortgage the house to you?" i
"That would be fine!" Linda smiled before she said, " However, you have to bring me the house
deed first. After that, you have to write me a mortgage contract."
ine blurted out immediately, "Okay, then. Wait for m e. I will go home and bring the house deed
over to you right now!" 1
After she was done speaking, ine hurriedly got up t o leave. 4
Linda hurriedly stopped her as she said, "Hey! Sister
ine, don’t leave in such a hurry. You have not paid me the five hundred and sixty thousand
dors that you lost to me just now."
ine checked the bnce in her bank ount and realized that she only had two hundred and
sixty thousand dors left. Therefore, she said, "Sister Linda, I only have two hundred and sixty
thousand dors left in my bank ount. Can I transfer this amount to you first? After that, I will go
home and bring my house deed over and you can deduct the rest of the money that I owe you from
the amount that I will get from my mortgage. Is that okay?”
"That would be fine.” Linda said, "Why don’t you write me an IOU for three hundred thousand
dors first? After that, you can go home and bring your house deed over. Otherwise, what would I
do if you refused t o pay me the three hundred thousand dors that you owed me after you leave?
Am I right?" 3
At this time, ine simply wanted to go home and take her house deed so that she could continue
ying mahjong with them. She wanted to win her money back from them! Therefore, as soon as
she had heard Linda’s words, she nodded without any hesitation at all as she said, "Okay, then! I
will write you the IOU now!” 5
Linda immediately brought a piece of paper and pen over before ine wrote an IOU for three
hundred thousand dors on it. Linda finally let her go when she pressed her fingerprint on the IOU.
ine drove home in a hurry as soon as she left the vi at Thompson First.
ine knew that her daughter was probably still busy at work, and her husband and son-inw
would still b e out for her husband''s ss reunion. Therefore, she was certain that they would not
find out she had taken the house deed if she returned home and left immediately. 1
That way, she would be able to turn things around by continuing the mahjong game with her friends.
Very soon, ine returned to the vi at Thompson First with the house deed in her hands. 3
After getting the house deed, Linda immediately searched for the market value of a house in the
samemunity on her cell phone. At this time, she found out that the lowest price for a house of
the same value was only one million and eight hundred dors. Therefore, she looked at ine as
she said, "Sister ine, the bank generally recognizes only ny percent of the market value of
the house whenever they ept any mortgage. The market value for your house is one million and
eight hundred thousand dors. So, even if you mortgage your house, you will only get one million
six hundred and twenty thousand dors." 3
All ine wanted at this point was to continue ying mahjong with them so that she could turn
things around. Therefore, she blurted out immediately, "Alright then, I will mortgage my house t o
you for one million six hundred and twenty thousand dors. After deducting the three hundred
thousand dors that I owe you, you can just transfer one million three hundred and twenty
thousand dors to me. We can continue ying after that. What do you think?"
Linda replied, "That will be fine, but we will have to draw up a mortgage contract first. Otherwise, I
am afraid that you will refuse to acknowledge it when you lose the house to meter.” 1
ine said anxiously, "Alright then, let''s hurry up and sign the mortgage contract now so we can
continue ying already!" 4
After that, ine signed a mortgage contract with Linda and also pressed her fingerprint on the
contract. After the mortgage contract had been signed, Linda transferred one million three hundred
and twenty thousand dors to ine.
Linda did not care about that money at all because she knew that even though she was transferring
those one million three hundred and twenty thousand dors to ine, it would alle back to her
soon.
