Chapter 61.2
Before Ji Fanyin could reply, a person standing behind the madam had already impatiently interjected, Sorry, can you step aside for a while?
It was a delivery man dressed in Missfreshs uniform. He was holding two plastic bags in his hands.
Yes, I ordered the delivery. Ji Fanyin reached out to receive the plastic bags. Thanks.
The delivery man quickly confirmed the delivery with his phone before rushing off.
With two bags in hand, Ji Fanyin looked at the madam and said, Pleased to meet you. May I know how youre related to Bai Zhou?
The madam didnt look angry even though she had been kept waiting for a moment. I have no blood ties with Bai Zhou, but my son is his younger brother.
Ji Fanyin had heard from Bai Zhou about the messy state of his household, prompting her to raise her eyebrows.
Ah, so its the lover who bore an illegitimate child for Bai Zhous father.
Do you need me for anything? Ji Fanyin got straight to the point.
The madam gracefully smiled and spoke unhurriedly, Could we speak inside? Ive looked into the relationship between Bai Zhou and you, and I think that youre a rational and intelligent woman. I believe that theres room for us to have an amicable chat.
Looks like shes a tough character.
Well, I guess an ordinary person wouldnt have dared to give birth to an illegitimate child right beneath the eyelids of Bai Zhous mother, let alone convince the couple into accepting the arrangement.
With a smile, Ji Fanyin stepped aside and allowed her in.
Has Bai Zhou been here too? the madam asked with a casual voice, as if she was just satisfying her curiosity.
He doesnt know that I live here.
The madam nodded in realization before remarking with a chuckle, You know how to protect yourself. Youre truly a smart child.
Ji Fanyin turned around to look at her. She was still considering whether she should grab a glass of water for her guest, but it looked like there was no need for it now.
Take a seat. Ji Fanyin gestured to the sofa.
Arent you going to serve me a cup of tea? asked the madam as she settled onto the sofa.
Are you here to have tea? refuted Ji Fanyin.
You really dont put on a front. Im starting to get curious how you were able to make Bai Zhou so infatuated with you, said the madam.
Are you? I thought that youd know much more than me, mocked Ji Fanyin.
You dont have to be so guarded. I didnt come with ill-will. The madam gracefully rested her hands on her knees. On the contrary, I admire your ambitions. I personally believe that a woman should be ambitious. Only then can she make a place for herself in this male-dominated society.
Ji Fanyin answered with a perfunctory I see while organizing the ingredients that had just been delivered. She was waiting for the other party to get to the point.
You like money whereas Im fond of power. Were both using men to achieve our goals There are far more similarities between us than you imagine.
Ji Fanyin curtly replied, So?
The madam looked at her with a smile and said, I just want to ask. Are you interested in working with me to earn even more money?
Ji Fanyin was in the midst of peeling a tangerine when she heard those words and smiled.
Theres only one possibility here. She intends to crush Bai Zhou so that her son can inherit the Bai Family.
Thats no easy feat to pull off. Bai Zhous mother wont let it happen, and Bai Zhous father will have to suffer a stroke before entertaining that idea.
You must be thinking that its impossible. The madam wasnt angered by Ji Fanyins skeptical attitude. I didnt think that it was possible either, but your appearance showed me a sliver of hope. Sometimes, all it takes is a woman to turn a lofty young master into a penniless loser.
You want me to drive in the wedge between Bai Zhou and his father until hes erased from the line of succession, Ji Fanyin summarized the madams intention.
I wont ask you to do the dirty work all alone. If anything, my workload will be greater than yours. However, you can rest assured that youll be rewarded for your efforts. Thats why I brought this here with me today. The madam reached into her Hermes bag and retrieved a document folder.
Ji Fanyin was actually excited for a moment when the madam reached into the bag. She thought that it would be a cheque, so naturally, she was disappointed to see that it was documents instead.
