Chapter 50.2: “Maybe your son needs to find a bad one to beat him three times a day to feel comfortable!”

Bai Duanduan’s words were not a lie. Recently, she don’t know what happened, but Ji Lin also started to send her crabs frequently from his clients. He didn’t like crabs, so he threw them all to herself, almost every day two boxes were carried to her house, so even if Bai Duanduan liked hairy crabs, after eating a meal so frequently, it was a bit too much for her to see the crabs and her legs got weak when she saw them. So every day she hoped that Ji Lin’s customers would not send him any more crabs. She simply cannot afford Lin Hui’s crabs anymore.

It was only after Bai Duanduan’s explanation that Lin Hui stopped and the matter was settled, and the two of them made an appointment to meet again when they were free.

Unfortunately, it turned out to be an empty promise, because Bai Duanduan was so busy that she also had to report to Ms Meng Xin’s place on a weekend.

It’s just that while Bai Duanduan has been pining away for overtime, Ms Meng was in high spirits.

Under Bai Duanduan’s multi-faceted monitoring, her blood sugar has been kept within a very good range, her body was better, she was more comfortable, and her face was well maintained. Her son’s money was being spent more happily, her bags were being bought more often and her life was being lived in more style, but the only thing that was lacking was her son Ji Lin’s lifelong committed partner.

When Ms. Meng Xin found that she couldn’t beat Bai Duanduan, so she basically stopped struggling. Since Bai Duanduan went to Sheng Lin, Ms. Meng’s attitude towards her has become better. Ji Lin usually doesn’t talk much, even with his own mother, so Bai Duanduan has become her window to learn about her son. On this day, while following Bai Duanduan for a regular walk in the park, she couldn’t help but inquire, “Xiao Bai, let me ask you, has Ji Lin recently been in a bit of a situation?”

Bai Duanduan raised her eyelids, “What situation?”

“Just that situation.” Ms. Meng Xin’s face was anxious, “You see, this child is at this age, and his career can be considered successful. Now that  his career is established, his family should also be established, right?” She looked at Bai Duanduan, “Xiao Bai, aren’t you both his colleague and neighbour? You should know his usual movements best, just tell auntie, Lin Lin has been so busy lately, he hasn’t visited me much, and he has no interest at all in the blind date I arranged for him. Even if he refused to meet in the past, he would at least give me a face and add a wechat with the other girl, but now he refuses to even add a wechat. He turned a blind eye to it. I think he has someone he likes and is already in a relationship?”

Bai Duanduan said nothing, and stretched out her hand, “One hundred.”

Meng Xin was not surprised. She endured the humiliation and took out a hundred bills, handed it to Bai Duanduan, “All right, all right, I understand the old rules, you get what you pay for, here you go, talk!”

Bai Duanduan sighed, “No.”

“Huh?”

“Your son, Ji Lin, is not in a relationship. Falling in love is impossible for him.”

Meng Xin was anxious, “But his spare time has been much less than it used to be recently. I asked him several times if he was coming home for dinner, he always shrugged it off and said he was working overtime, how is that possible? I know his working ability and efficiency, it’s impossible that he needs to work so much overtime. Ji Lin can balance his work and personal life very well.”

It’s okay not to mention overtime. When Meng Xin mentioned overtime, Bai Duanduan became very angry, “Your son is really working overtime. Not only is he working overtime by himself, but he is also pulling me to work overtime together. He is highly enlightened and just wants to make money, but I’m not. I still want to enjoy life!”

Ms. Meng Xin was obviously still not convinced and pursued the matter, “What else? Has there been anything special about Lin Lin recently? For example, have he met any new girls? What about his clients? Is there a good-looking, gentle, generous, virtuous, thrifty girl who can hold herself in the kitchen ……”

“No.” Bai Duanduan rolled her eyes, “Auntie, the kind of twenty-four year old filial good girlfriend you want to find first of all in modern society, it basically does not exist, even if it exists, it is also disguised, eighty percent of them are looking at Ji Lin’s money, ready to get married and then quickly divorce to cash out.”

Meng Xin was not happy about this, “What are you talking about? My son is a good-looking guy, how can it be that these girls are only interested in his money?”

“Is it the workaholic nature of your son who keeps making people work overtime? Or is it the toxicity of his mouth that makes people die when he speaks?”

Ji Lin knew what kind of virtue her mother had, and Meng Xin naturally knew what kind of virtue her son had. She also knows that her son was really not an easy one. Although she feel a little bit dissatisfied in her heart, she can only hold it back in the end.

Bai Duanduan, the little spy planted by her son’s side, still had to be enlisted, and Ms. Meng Xin tried to squeeze out a kind smile, “Then Xiao Bai, you’re right, there are too few of those perfect twenty-four girlfriends, and Auntie doesn’t count on them anymore. Just tell Auntie, what kind of girls are there by Lin Lin’s side now? Auntie will give you some advice.”

Bai Duanduan held out her hand again.

Ms. Meng Xin obeyed the kindness and took out another hundred yuan.

“There are no single female clients around Ji Lin lately, oh no, there is one, a few days ago, there was an executive layoff case, the HR director is a woman.”

“A woman personnel director is also considered a female executive, right?” Ms Meng Xin’s eyes lit up, “Young and talented female elite? That’s not bad! She earn for herself, she can support ourselves, and that way there will be less pressure on Lin Lin!”

“It’s a female executive, right, quite high income, quite capable, as for being young….” Bai Duanduan paused, “Forty plus well maintained, looks like thirty, quite young.”

“……”

Meng Xin continued, “If there are no suitable female clients, what about others? For example, if you are a lawyer, you will have contact with arbitration committees, courts and other law firms, right? Are there any virtuous and understanding girls there?”

Bai Duanduan rolled her eyes, “Auntie, the scope of this information is too wide, that’s not quite enough.”

Meng Xin could only swallow her anger and continue to take out another hundred yuan, “That’s enough!”

Bai Duanduan received the money and coughed, “The partners your son has contacted recently are unfortunately all men, the only few women are married and have children, the only single young women your son can contact are the few left in our law firm to be honest.”

It’s not that Meng Xin didn’t know the rest of the female colleagues at Ji Lin’s law firm. She immediately lamented a bit, “Doesn’t Sheng Lin have just those few people? I don’t know what’s going on with recruiting for Lin Lin, there are so many female colleagues in the law firm, but not a single pretty one!”

Bai Duanduan was not happy to hear this, “Auntie, I think as long as a girl is confident, dresses well and talks well, she is beautiful.”
