After lunch, they started playing Mahjong.
The four women usually played Mahjong at home, but today the focus was on Nancy. Naturally, they couldn't leave her out, so they invited her to play with them.
Nancy knew they would play with money. Even though she had some money now, she was used to being poor and would never spend money on something she was not good at.
She awkwardly smiled, "I'm sorry. I don't know how to play Mahjong..."
"How can you not know how to play Mahjong?"
Freya grabbed her wrist, "Let me teach you."
"Uh... I..."
Nancy was in a dilemma and looked to Charlie for help. Charlie gave her a helpless look because he was also being dragged by his cousins to play Mahjong.
Nancy knew she couldn't escape, so she reluctantly sat at the table.
Freya patiently explained the rules of Mahjong to Nancy, and Nancy understood after listening once.
"Okay, let's give it a try."
The sound of tiles shuffling filled the air. Nancy focused on the tiles in her hand. She spent most of her time studying and making money before, so she had never had the chance to play this kind of game.
Freya sat next to her silently. However, her eyes were fixed on the tiles in Nancy's hand.
Just as Nancy was about to win by self-draw, she hesitated and discarded a different tile. Freya's eyes widened.
"Silly girl... That was a self-draw..."
Freya pressed her lips with a frown. But as she watched Nancy continue to draw and discard five tiles in a row, her eyes suddenly widened.
It seemed that Nancy was just waiting for a chance!
