My birthday is coming up soon, said Bai Zhou all of a sudden.
I know. There was no way Ji Fanyin wouldnt know the birthday of her number one client.
21st birthday, he emphasized.
I know, Ji Fanyin also responded with an emphatic voice.
Back in Greece, that was the day she had promised Bai Zhou to give him a response.
Youd better not have forgotten about it. Bai Zhou let out a cold harrumph. He eyed her clothes and impatiently urged, Hurry up and hail your cab.
Im not heading ho yet. Ji Fanyin glanced at her watch. I still have matters to attend to, so Ill be leaving first.
Bai Zhou subconsciously stopped her. Where are you heading to? Who are you eting with?
Ji Fanyin tapped on her watch and reminded Bai Zhou, Its my private ti.
She walked out of the coffee shop, leaving Bai Zhou behind. She really did have matters to attend toshe was rushing to the cinema to catch the latest movie that hit the silver screen.
There was a real risk that she might get spoiled on her Weibo if she were to be late.
There were still twenty minutes before the screening, so she decided to make a call to report on the progress of her work first.
I guess theres ti to make two.
The first call was to Mr. Bais mistress. She roughly reported her recent etings with Bai Zhou to her, making sure to properly relay the charges.
The mistress was satisfied with the progress. Bai Zhou didnt return ho over the holidays, choosing to stay in Lakeside City all alone. His father was infuriated. He grumbled quite a bit about it to .
Ji Fanyin could hear the smirk in her voice, as if the latter was boasting that she was the one Mr. Bai truly cared for. She raised her eyebrows and asked, Does that an that youre satisfied with my performance?
Ive already said that youre a smart child. A smart person can only succeed after choosing the right path The mistress paused for a mont before asking, It looks like you sold the apartnt Ive given you?
Her surveillance work is quite thorough. It looks like the Bai Family is very fond of engaging the services of private investigators.
Its too big. It would be uncomfortable to live there, replied Ji Fanyin.
Youre still young, thats why you dont understand why bigger houses are better, the mistress said with a chuckle. Ive already given the apartnt to you, so youre free to do whatever you want with it. Bai Zhou will be in his third year of university soon. His father will soon call him ho to intern in the company so as to prepare him for succession. All you have to do now is make him stay in Lakeside City and not return ho. It should be easy for you. You just have to et up with him more.
Ji Fanyin agreed to the request.
After receiving the mistress bank transfer, she dialed another number on her phoneMrs. Bai.
I didnt return during the Chinese New Year period either, Mrs. Bai replied placidly. Did he spend the New Year with you?
He wished
Happy Chinese New Year.
There was a mont of silence before Mrs. Bai replied, Is that so? It has been many years since I received such ssages from him.
Have you ever sent one to him? asked Ji Fanyin.
Theres no need for that. Mrs. Bai thought nothing about it. I understand the current situation. Ill send you the money by tomorrow. I heard that your younger sister is back in the country. Do take note of it.
Ji Fanyin seriously doubted whether Ji Xinxin would have the energy to bother with Bai Zhou during this period of ti, but there was no need for her to explain that to Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai hung up the call.
After making those two calls, it was already about ti for the movie to start soon, so she quickly made her way to the cinema. Along the way, she noticed two neoprint machines, the source of the little photos in Bai Zhous wallet.
She subconsciously glanced at the lower floors and noticed that she could still see the sign of the cafe they were in earlier.
Could this be the place where Bai Zhou wanted to bring
to?
Ji Fanyin had seen plenty of people who courted their own death, but this was the first ti she was seeing soone who insisted on torturing themself on top of that.
As long as you dont do things that prick at your conscience, you wont regret it in the future. Its such simple logic, but why is it that so few people in the world understood it?
Ji Fanyin nonchalantly walked up to the concession stand and made her order, Single Combo Set B. Thanks.
