Chapter 34.2 “Ji Lin!!! Why is Bai Duanduan in your room?!”

“It just so happens that the woman’s dad and my dad are very good friends, almost like brothers in arms, so I can’t just turn her down like other blind dates. Now my strategy is to deal with it coldly. I will absolutely take no initiative to ask her out for a date and if she asks me out I won’t go. After a week or two if she still won’t give up, I will claim that I suddenly fell in love at first sight and have a girlfriend already, then I will take my girlfriend and my parents to have a meal…”

When Rong Sheng said that, the distracted Ji Lin finally looked at him, “Where are you going to find a girlfriend so soon?”

“Good question!” Rong Sheng blinked, “I decided to find a fake one, take some pictures together and post some lovey-dovey photos which will be visible to people on my friend list only. If necessary I will pay her to attend some of my family party and it’s done!”

“Even if you find a fake one, to convince your parents, first of all, you need to find one with a legitimate occupation and her social status should not be too low; secondly, her occupation and yours should have a connection that can reasonably explain your encounter; thirdly, she should be pretty and have a good figure, otherwise you cannot explain love at first sight; fourthly, and most importantly, she should have a good temperament. There are many pretty women, but there are very few pretty women with good temperament. If your parents want to meet then this person needs to be able to talk. She must have a high emotional intelligence, and should be able to deal with your father’s various cross questions……”

Ji Lin was about to grunt, “Where can you find it?” when Rong Sheng interrupted him…

“I already have someone in mind! It fits all!”

Ji Lin was not at all interested in this, and he frowned, glancing unobtrusively at his closed bedroom door before glancing at his watch again, and began to hint, “Rong Sheng, my conference call is about to begin.”

Unfortunately, Rong Sheng was not moved at all, as he took up the conversation he had just had with a twinkle in his eyes —

“Bai Duanduan! She fits all!”

Ji Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then calmly said, “That would also require her to be willing to act as your casual fake girlfriend at the expense of her reputation for a few dollars.”

“Absolutely willing!” Rong Sheng was even more happy when he said this, “I’ve asked around. She has already pretended to be a girlfriend for three single male colleagues since she came to our office! The price is clearly stated and no one is deceived! Five hundred dollars an hour! For friends, the price is 20% off! Last time Yang Fan was dumped by a gold-digging girl who shamed him by saying that he would never be able to find a girlfriend of her class in his life and that he was a toad trying to eat swan meat. As a result, Yang Fan invited Bai Duanduan and crushed everyone present there! The girl was so angry that her nose got crooked! There is also Yu Chao who was being talked behind his back by his own relatives that he couldn’t find a date. As a result, he brought Bai Duanduan to one of his relatives’ gatherings, and since then there has been no gossip. It is said that his shameless first cousin even tried to flirt with Bai Duanduan to pry her out of him while he was away ……”

“……” ;

Somehow, Rong Sheng felt that Ji Lin’s face seemed to be getting worse and worse. He glanced at Rong Sheng and said, “I don’t think your proposal is good.”

“Why?”

“Because Bai Duanduan is from the legal profession, she will surely settle internally and find someone from the legal profession, too, in the future. Then those idiots on LAWXOXO who don’t know the truth will spread the word again that Bai Duanduan kicked you out and found a different person. Although it’s not true, this will spread out and you’ll be very humiliated in the legal circle. In the future, everyone would be looking down on you and it would appear that you’re not as good as other men.”

Speaking of this, Ji Lin glanced at Rong Sheng, “You know, this is actually quite hurtful to men’s self-esteem.”

Rong Sheng was completely carried away by Ji Lin’s logic for a moment. He didn’t even think about questioning why Bai Duanduan must have sought a man from the legal circle, he just thought that what Ji Lin said made too much sense.

Who said Ji Lin was indifferent to others? It was true that the only person he loved was himself. Look at him, he who never stands a client up, has not kicked himself out at all because of his own distress when it was already time for the conference call, and instead very thoughtfully helped him analyze the pros and cons.

What was friendship? That’s friendship!

Rong Sheng immediately shook Ji Lin’s hand, “Thank you, brother! After all, you’ve thought far ahead! But if you don’t want me to look for Bai Duanduan, then who should I look for? I really can’t think of anyone else, so I have to look for her.”

Ji Lin said with a blank face, “You don’t need her. I have another candidate for you.”

“Who?”

“Me.” Ji Lin said calmly, “Take me with you and tell your parents that you’ve been very distressed lately and suddenly you have lost your feelings for women. You’ve been looking at me instead and you think I’m the best. You don’t know what’s wrong with you, you’re a bit confused.”

Rong Sheng: ? ? ?

“This way your father will understand, and don’t worry, not only will he not publicize family matters, but he’ll help you find a decent reason to reject the daughter of that good brother of his. In addition, it also eliminates the possibility of him continuing to toss you to other dating bureaus for fear of spurring you on to run to the other camp altogether, and will give you enough space to think things through and return to the right path. Finally, because of this padding, your dad won’t object to you bringing home a girlfriend from any background in the future, as long as it’s female and alive, he’ll be able to smile from ear to ear.”

? ? ?

Sounds odd but surprisingly there was a hint of sense in it, didn’t it?

Ji Lin added another shot of fierce medicine, “Usually I’m very busy, but I won’t charge you for this kind of thing. It’s because you are a brother to me and I ought to lend you a hand in time of need.”

Ji Lin was willing to help himself without charge! This was a huge favour! Such a huge self-sacrifice for himself, what else does he have to hesitate about? Rong Sheng immediately looked at Ji Lin with affection and decided to cherish this friendship!

“Well, now my conference call really has to start, so you should go now.”

“Got it! Thanks bro!”

Ji Lin had just finished dealing with Rong Sheng when, coincidentally, his mobile phone actually rang, it was a client, he gestured to Rong Sheng and turned around to go to the study to answer the phone.

Rong Sheng was ready to put on his shoes at the door and leave but he suddenly remembered that he had lent a book to Ji Lin last time. He wanted to come back and have a look this afternoon when he had nothing to do. According to his understanding of Ji Lin, his books are usually placed at the bedside table in the bedroom. Rong Sheng called Ji Lin, but the other party obviously didn’t hear him. He thought about it for a moment, he was so familiar with Ji Lin, and in the past he would usually go to Ji Lin’s bedroom to take a nap once in a while. It was just a book, so he can go and get the book by himself.

With that, Rong Sheng opened Ji Lin’s bedroom door straight away and……

Then he and Bai Duanduan from the other side of the bedroom door looked at each other face to face.

Almost subconsciously, Rong Sheng immediately apologized, “Sorry sorry sorry! Wrong room!” Then he exited the room and hurriedly closed the door behind him.

A second later, he finally realised –

“Ji Lin!!! Explain yourself to me, damn it!!! Why is Bai Duanduan in your room?!”

It all made sense now! Fck friendship! Fck brotherhood!

In his grief and anger, Rong Sheng finally said the qualified first wife line, “So you’ve gotten together with Bai Duanduan behind my back! Ji Lin, you lied to me!”

Ji Lin: Doctor, do you think I can still heal?

Doctor: The poison has penetrated the flesh and mixed with blood, and you will be terminally ill soon. The toxicity is too strong, I am afraid that there is no way back.

Ji Lin: Is there any way to delay the onset of toxicity? I haven’t grabbed the limited edition bag from next season that my mother asked for.

Doctor: I have a medicine here that can temporarily delay the onset of toxicity, but the side effects during the course of treatment can make the patient feel depressed, quite uncomfortable, and even doubt life.

Ji Lin: What is it?

Doctor: The name of the medicine is “Lin Hui’s ex-girlfriend”, you should consider it.
