Chapter 21.2 Ji Lin, I don’t believe it, you must have been in love with her!

That day, Bai Duanduan was only feeling devastated by her poverty and unemployment. She sat bitterly in the room for half a day in daze, thinking about all the recent events, and felt that she was really unlucky.

Forget it, at a time like this, she might as well go out and get a few drinks.

She cheered herself up to get drunk, and to leave the boredom for tonight. Tomorrow will be a new day, and then the battle shall continue again. The matter of Du Xinyi and finding a job would still need a long term planning.

Bai Duanduan said one thing and immediately picked herself up and headed out the door to a very lively bar just diagonally across the street from her neighborhood.

_________

Ji Lin did not want to meddle in the matter of others, but after he had said goodbye to Rong Sheng at the coffee shop and headed home, he once again met Bai Duanduan on the road. She had changed out of her professional suit and was wearing a long, bright dress with a long skirt. A color that would normally make people look rustic, but on her she looked complementary, not gaudy, but with a bit of elegance.

Her skin was snow-white and her lips were so full that they looked like fresh cherries fished out of the water, and just by looking at her, he could feel the sweet and sour taste of cherries. But despite her pretty face and fashionable dress, Bai Duanduan’s face was filled with a muddled, unmotivated and demoralized look.

She just walked right into that bar, almost like a tender rabbit hopping into a demon’s den.

Ji Lin pursed his lips and looked towards Bai Duanduan, waiting for her to say thank you. It’s just that ……

To Ji Lin’s surprise, instead of thanking himself, Bai Duanduan looked at the sleazy man’s back with great regret and let out a wail…

“How can people just leave like that!!!”

“……”

Ji Lin pursed his lips and said coldly, “It seems I am being the nosy one here and spoiled your good deed.”

Bai Duanduan looked at Ji Lin, who had started it all, and nodded, “Indeed. Completely and utterly spoiled my good deed.”

When she admitted it so boldly, Ji Lin was stunned by her directness. Were all girls nowadays like this? So they are expecting some guy to come over and strike up a conversation and hit on them and make a move? They think love is all about flirting and s3x?

Unaware of his thoughts, Baiduan continued to lament, “That was all planned. I was waiting for him to reach over and touch me just now.”

“……”

It was unbelievable.

Bai Duanduan did not relent, she pulled Ji Lin, “No, Ji Lin, you have to compensate me. It’s because of you otherwise I would have been able to vent just now.”

Ji Lin was simply shocked, “You want me to compensate for such a thing? You want me to let you vent your …… beastial desires instead of that man? You are a female and you open your mouth to vent? Isn’t that too uncivilized?” He glared at Bai Duanduan, “As for me, I’m not interested in you.”

Now Bai Duanduan was confused, “What does your interest in me have to do with this?” She wondered, “Besides, what’s wrong with the word venting? I used it correctly, isn’t it quite elegant?” Bai Duanduan said and sighed, “Ji Lin, if you hadn’t shown up, I could have beaten that man just now!”

“……”

“And while it’s true that beating people up is an uncivilized way to vent out, but you’re going a bit too far by calling it a beastial desire, aren’t you? I’m just waiting for him to get lusty and try to get his hands on me, and then I’ll beat him up in self-defense.” 

Bai Duanduan blinked, “I’ve been sitting here for so long, and pretending to be drunk, and wasting so much time fishing for my prey in a lawful way. It was only with great difficulty that a bold one took my bait and came over to beg for a fight, but you scared them away as soon as you appeared!”

Ji Lin looked like he was frozen, and he paused before saying, “What you just said about venting was to beat him up?”

“Yes!” Bai Duanduan took another sip of wine bitterly, “Can you be considerate of a young woman who has unknown debts and is unemployed and disillusioned? I’m so upset inside, I want to find someone to beat up!”

“……”

“Hey! I’m so pissed off! I heard that there were many hooligans in this bar, so I wanted to come over here to take a chance and legally beat up someone to vent my frustration, but I lost the duck in my hand just like that!”

Ji Lin looked at the sighing Bai Duanduan in front of him, only to feel that the veins near his eyebrows could not help but jump up. This woman was really poisonous, ……  he was worried that something will happen to her, but can something happen to her? She can only let others have accidents.

“You don’t have to be like this when you can’t find a job.” Ji Lin tried to suppress his inner emotions, “Don’t hit people, be civil. As a lawyer, do you have to use violence to solve problems? You aren’t a child either, are you not able to control your emotions?”

Bai Duanduan gave Ji Lin a look, “Hey? Ji Lin, let’s not talk about me, why did you come to the bar? Do you have no intention of sleeping around and finding a partner to have s3x with?”

What was this woman thinking about? What the hell!

Ji Lin frowned and said in a serious manner, “Oh, my other partner in Sheng Lin, Rong Sheng, came here last night and left his lighter, and since I live close by, he asked me to come and get it.”

“Really? Is this the kind of place your other partner likes to hang out in? This bar is honestly not very classy and the people who come here are not decent men ……”

“Eh, Rong Sheng is indeed not a decent man.”

“Oh ……,” Bai Duanduan nodded.

Seeing that she was fine, Ji Lin didn’t bother to care anymore, and turned around straight away and prepared to leave,”I’m leaving, you remember to pay back the money at earliest.”

When he mentioned paying back the money, it reminded Bai Duanduan of her situation. Now that she was in a difficult position, where could she find a job? Naturally, it was no problem to leave A City’ and go back to B City to find a law firm, but Bai Duanduan was a defiant person and now she was determined to stay in A City. 

She wanted Lin Hui and Du Xinyi to see what kind of person she really was, and she was not going to back down when Lin Hui misunderstood her like this.

In fact, in matters like this, if she can quietly wait for the dust to settle and the truth to come out, the legal circle in A City will naturally accept herself again. Although people are afraid of trouble and will now remain on the sidelines and hesitant about herself. But in the end truth always wins over rumors, except that in the end it would be too late by then, and Bai Duanduan was too shy in the pocket to wait that long.

Originally, Bai Duanduan had been worried about staying in A City, so where could she find a law firm that would accept her right away and start afresh. But now, looking at Ji Lin in front of her, she suddenly had an epiphany!

She went everywhere, even broke her iron shoes² walking in iron shoes- facing great difficulties while doing something but still got nothing, who knew, it was just under her eyes. It was a great way to find out what you’re looking for, wasn’t it?

Wasn’t that her next home³ next job is referred to as next home here right in front of her?

The Author has something to say:

The “indecent man” in this chapter who was cue-ed inexplicably, 

Rong Sheng:? ? ? Why is it always me who gets hurt? ? ?

[Small Theater]

A serious Ji Lin: It’s not her I’m helping, it’s my own money I’m helping

The backstabbed injured Rong Sheng: Heh, man

[Dog Ji Lin is really just a cheap talker, but he’s actually not that bad]
