    Chapter 25.1 If you will try to fold my wings, I will destroy your son’s paradise.

    Bai Duanduan never thought that she would one day be able to rely on her C grade cooking skills that can kill people and successfully conquer Ji Lin’s old lady. Although the process was a bit unexpected, at least the desired result was achieved.

    After eating takeout and taking insulin and being forced to take a walk, Ms Meng Xin’s anger was half rested and she spent the afternoon in peace, only letting Bai Duanduan do some tidying up work and not thinking of ways to torment her again.

    However, her direct employer didn’t toss herself out but her son didn’t let her off the hook yet. She had just returned to the door of her small flat after her work shift when her employer’s son arrived with a

    blank expression on his face.

    “Got a minute? Let’s have a chat about your work performance today.”

    “……” I really owe it to you mother and son!

    Forget it! Bai Duanduan thought, for the sake of money, let’s talk about it.

    The two searched around downstairs and found that at this hour, several cafes were still crowded. In the end, they decided to go to that non mainstream neighbor’s western restaurant again for the sake of quietness and it can also be considered as a neighborly way of looking after his business.

    Just as Bai Duanduan was waiting for Ji Lin to make a comment, what Ji Lin said was not at all what she had in mind.

    Advertisements

    He calmly said, “You’ve done a good job, you’ve passed the probationary period and can continue to be on the job.”

    ?????

    “Are you serious?”

    Bai Duanduan felt that she was looking forward to it in vain. She was waiting for Ji Lin to fire herself with a wave of his hand and let her return home with a breach of contract ……

    “En.”

    According to Ji Lin’s experience, in the past, domestic helpers who did not receive complaints at the beginning could not stand Ms. Meng Xin’s temper tantrums and chose to leave their jobs within two days. So the more complaints he received initially, the longer these domestic helpers could generally last. This was the first time that Bai Duanduan has received as many complaints as a previous domestic helper did on her first day, and was expected to surpass the previous record of a domestic helper who lasted a maximum of 13 days.

    Although it was inappropriate to say this, there was some truth in the saying that evil needs to be tempered by evil. Ji Lin had always known that his mother was not an easy target, so he was afraid that those who could keep her in check and hold her back could not be good either.

    Thinking of this, Ji Lin glanced at Bai Duanduan in front of him.

    It’s a pity that she was still a little too young. If she had been a few more years old, maybe she would have been able to fight with his mother bravely. According to that day’s fighting strength, he doesn’t know if she can carry on for half a month ……

    “Since you’re officially on duty now, there are a few more precautions I think you need to know.”

    “Eh?”

    “My mother is obsessed with playing mahjong and every week, on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, her mahjong hitchhiker would organize a game and she would never miss a game. But I hope you can stop her, because the mahjong halls she goes to have a very bad environment. There are smokers everywhere. It is best for diabetics to quit smoking and limit alcohol. Going to these places three days a week to smoke second-hand smoke for a whole day is very unhealthy, and she sits around all the time playing mahjong. She does not exercise at all. Once she is addicted to playing mahjong, she will completely forget about taking insulin also.”

    Ji Lin pursed his lips, “Tomorrow is Wednesday. I’ll give you 500 yuan as an extra bonus for each day if you can keep my mom from going to the mahjong hall.”

    The power of money was infinite!

    Bai Duanduan patted her chest, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely not let her go out!”

    ___________

    It was a pity that Bai Duanduan said this too early, because as soon as she arrived at Ms. Meng Xin’s villa at eight o’clock the next day, she found that this old lady had disappeared. She didn’t even have a chance to prevent her from going out, and the other party had already run away first. 

    “I don’t know what kind of spirit it is to be able to get up before eight o’clock and go play mahjong ……”

    Bai Duanduan searched in vain and could only dial Ji Lin’s number, “Ji Lin, your mother has disappeared.”

    Ji Lin on the other end of the phone was not any bit surprised, and gave her a series of addresses, “Go and look for her in these three places. She must be in one of these mahjong parlors. If you don’t bring her home, you won’t get your bonus today.”

    How could that be?

    Bai Duanduan followed the address almost all the way to find her, and it was also her luck that she found Ms Meng Xin, who was killing it with style at the mahjong table, in the first mahjong parlour.

    “Auntie Meng, Ji Lin asked me to take you home.”

    Ms. Meng Xin was having a good time, so she didn’t care about Bai Duanduan. She had just won two games, and with a spring in her step, she took out a hundred yuan, “All right, take the tip, buy some cold drinks and don’t bother me. My luck is just right at the moment.”

    Advertisements

    Only a hundred yuan and you want to buy me off? Huh,do you think I’m that kind of person? Your son gave me five hundred yuan!

    Bai Duanduan sneered and didn’t leave, continuing to stand behind and looking at Meng Xin.

    After waiting for two more games, one of Meng Xin’s mahjong partners at this mahjong table probably had something to do. She made a phone call and left, ignoring the retention of Meng Xin and her other partner.

    All of a sudden at that time, there was a shortage of one player out of four. Meng Xin, who obviously hadn’t had enough of mahjong, immediately took out her phone and was ready to call her friends to continue the game.

    “Auntie Meng, don’t call for someone, why don’t I accompany you for two games?”

    Meng Xin put down her phone, “You know how to play mahjong?”

    “I’m not too good at it.” Bai Duanduan smiled haughtily, “You’ve given me a hundred yuan tip, can I not play two games with you?”

    Meng Xin rolled her eyes, “That’s fine, you don’t have anything to do since I’m not home anyway, so why don’t you just play with me all day?” She said, and looked at the other two sisters at the table with dignity, “Let me introduce you, this is the housekeeper my son found for me, the nanny, you know! She follows me wherever I go and now she will play mahjong with me!”

    Ms Meng Xin was obviously a bit vain. She bragged while also pretending to care, “It’s just that she may not play mahjong very well, so a few of us have to show mercy!”

    After she finished, she looked at Bai Duanduan again and said with a calculating look, “However, mahjong is actually considered to be a competitive game, isn’t it? In this competition, there are losses and wins, and it takes a little bet to make it more exciting, okay? In addition to mahjong, we play with everyone’s heartbeat also.”

    “Mahjong is fine as entertainment, but gambling is illegal ah, Auntie Meng.”

    “Where are you thinking of, Xiao Bai? Why would I bet money? We’ll just bet on something else, like if whoever wins the next game of mahjong gets to make demands on the loser, just a little entertainment, don’t worry.”

    Advertisements

    Don’t worry, huh. Bai Duanduan thought to herself, your gaze on my bracelet is almost burning through my skin. Who doesn’t know that you have a little bit of Sima Zhao’s heart1 “Everyone knows Sima Zhao’s heart” is a Chinese idiom, which means one’s ambition is very obvious and well known., but you’re still hoping that you’ll win and get your hands on my bracelet?

    “Okay.”

    However, Bai Duanduan did not hesitate to agree. It’s not that she didn’t notice Meng Xin and her two older sisters at the mahjong table making eyes at each other and ready to feed each other’s cards to squeeze their own hints, but there were some things ……

    The fact was that there were some things that can’t be said about strength as it speaks for itself.

    Bai Duanduan’s mother was obsessed with playing mahjong. It can be said that Bai Duanduan has grown up around the mahjong table since she was a child. She was exposed to playing cards at the age of four. By the age of fifteen, she had already played and won every one all over her community. As she grew older, Bai Duanduan’s mahjong skills also grew, and most importantly, her luck with this mahjong was really good, like it was almost going against the heavens. She stopped playing all these years, mainly because —

    How lonely it was to be invincible.
