Bai Zhou shot a glance at Li Xiaoxing before turning back to ask Ji Fanyin, Did he treat you as a stand-in as well?
Ji Fanyin didnt answer that question.
Bai Zhou clenched his jaws hard before finally asking the more important question weighing down his heart, Everything youve told
during your ti as a stand-in, were they all lies?
Everything you wanted to hear from
was a lie, replied Ji Fanyin.
When I confessed
The person you confessed to doesnt exist.
Do you hate ?
Theres no reason for
to.
What about our promise to watch the sunrise in Greece together every year?
Ji Fanyin laughed. That was a lie.
With that, Ji Fanyin finally turned away and began making her way toward Li Xiaoxing. A few steps later, she suddenly turned around as if she had just recalled sothing. Right. I ought to tell you, my birthday isnt on the sa day as Ji Xinxins.
Those words stirred Bai Zhous mories of their ti in Greece, and his eyes slowly widened in horror.
Upon reaching Li Xiaoxings side, Ji Fanyin couldnt resist the temptation to direct another glance toward Bai Zhou.
The little fool had crouched onto the ground and buried his face into his arms. His shoulders were trembling ever so slightly. It seed like he was crying.
This should be a satisfactory outco for Mrs. Bai.
Li Xiaoxing called out, Ji Fanyin
Give
a second. I have a phone call to make, said Ji Fanyin with an apologetic smile. She whipped out her phone and dialed Mrs. Bais number.
Secretary Fan glanced at his boss displeased expression and quickly interjected, Miss Ji, would you mind us moving to a more private location while you make your call?
Ji Fanyin nodded.
Secretary Fan began leading the way. He seed to have already familiarized himself with the hotels floor plan.
Not a single word was spoken between them along the way, but Ji Fanyin could sense Li Xiaoxings intense gaze lingering on her.
Ji Fanyin simply ignored Li Xiaoxing and patiently waited for Mrs. Bai to pick up the call. When the call finally connected, she concisely reported the situation to her.
Overall, it was a job well done.
Bai Zhou first learned that his first love had impersonated soone else to marry another man before being dumped a mont later. The double blow he suffered today would teach him to be warier when dealing with won in the future.
This was exactly what Mrs. Bai asked for.
Mrs. Bai patiently listened to Ji Fanyins report before replying with an ambiguous tone that made it hard to tell whether she was satisfied with the outco. Good job, but Ill have to ask you to continue your work for a while longer.
Ji Fanyin caught the drift right away and asked euphemistically, Are things on your side not resolved yet?
Soon, replied Mrs. Bai ambiguously. Ill be troubling you to take care of Bai Zhou for a while longer. Ill remunerate you accordingly.
Ji Fanyin took a mont to consider Mrs.Bai's proposal before replying, Alright. Ill wait for your instructions.
Considering that it was a rare request from a generous client, she didnt mind taking on the additional trouble. It wasnt a big deal for her to continue taking care of Bai Zhou on Mrs. Bais behalf anyway.
One more thing. Mrs. Bai paused for a brief mont before continuing, How is he now?
Depressed, Ji Fanyin answered honestly. Its my first ti seeing him cry.
There were two seconds of silence before Mrs. Bai remarked,
Is that so?
She hung up the phone right after.
That was all she could say whenever they approached a sensitive topic relating to Bai Zhou. It was as if she knew of no other way to express her feelings.
