Chapter: 683

Ma Lan was impatiently saying: "Let's hurry up then, the sooner the better!"

Later, after she and He Lian finished drafting the contract and signing it, He Lien transferred 1.32 million back to her phone bank.

However, she didn't care at all because she knew that this 1.32 million would soon be transferred back to Ma Lan's account.

Ma Lan made up her mind in her heart that this time, she would definitely get everything back, including the principal and interest!

She then immediately plunged into the card game.

She never thought she'd dream about it, and yet, within half an hour, she had lost all that 1.32 million too!

Ma Lan's eyes were already completely red with defeat, and when her money was gone, she said with great reluctance: "Come on, come on again!"

Huo Lian said, "Sister, you don't have any money now. If you lose again, what will you use to pay?"

"My...my..."

Ma Lan suddenly didn't know how to answer this question.

She had really scraped the bottom of the barrel.

All her savings at home were gone, and even her only property was lost too.

Now, she had nothing left that could be used as collateral.

However, Huo Lian's sharp eyes caught sight of the jade bracelet on her wrist, and exclaimed: "Hey, your bracelet is quite nice!"

"Bracelet?" Ma Lan looked down at her wrist, just realizing that she still had a valuable treasure!

This jade bracelet was originally given to Qin Gang, the family head of the Qin family, as a gift to ingratiate his trickster son-in-law Ye Chen. Ye Chen then gave it to his daughter Shou Ru Ran, who had never worn it before, and she stole it from her mother later on, shamelessly occupying it without returning it.

Just one jade bracelet, Ye Chen didn't care about it at all, nor did Shou Ru Ran feel like asking her mother for it. So the jade bracelet stayed on her hand forever.

Ma Lan quickly took off the jade bracelet and handed it to Huo Lian, her eyes red with tears, saying, "This is a high-quality old jade, worth 5 million yuan when I bought it. How can you expect me to use it as collateral for 4 million yuan?"

Huo Lien received the jade bracelet and examined it carefully, not surprised at all.

Indeed, this is top-notch goods, old jade with a hint of fragrance, very good things, worth 5 million yuan at most.

However, she herself had been frequenting casinos for many years. How could she possibly swindle others? She was simply an expert in the field.

So she laughed and handed the jade bracelet back to Ma Lan, saying, "Ma Lan sister, this jade bracelet is not bad, but I'm telling you the truth, it's only worth a few tens of thousands at most."

"How can that be!" Ma Lan exclaimed. "This thing was bought for 5 million yuan, with receipts to prove it!"

"It's true, even if it was bought for 5 million yuan, it may not necessarily sell for 5 million yuan." Huo Lien sneered, laughing. "The trade in jade is inherently watered down, and the big shots are always trying to squeeze out smaller players. You yourself got taken advantage of this time, and now you're trying to take advantage of me? That won't fly!"

As she spoke, Huo Lien said again, "Alright, I'll pawn this jade bracelet for you at a hundred thousand. If you're willing, just sign on the dotted line; if not, no big deal." JrNovels.com
