Extra 2.2

Meng Xin became energetic. “You’re in love? What kind of person have you found?”

“Just someone as handsome as Ji Lin, as tall as Ji Lin, as talented as Ji Lin, as capable as Ji Lin, and especially generous to me.” Well, Ji Lin himself.

Unfortunately, Meng Xin naturally didn’t know the unspoken part of Bai Duanduan’s statement. Her inner disdain was about to reach the sky.

Tch. Is there any other man in the world who can be compared to her son Ji Lin?

No!

Meng Xin immediately felt unconvinced. “You’ve really lost it, Xiao Bai. After falling in love, you only see the beauty in your lover’s eyes. Where can you find someone as excellent as Ji Lin? Moreover, this man of yours, he definitely can’t make money and certainly isn’t generous! Look at you, you’re talking about turning over a new leaf? Shouldn’t your partner be the one doing the buying? Having a partner is like having a wallet, right? Besides, is your boyfriend’s mother still alive?”

“She is.”

“Does she have a good temper? Does she cause trouble?”

She pondered for a moment, then looked at Bai Duanduan. “By the way, Xiao Bai, do you know? Lin Lin is also in a relationship recently.” She lowered her voice and whispered, “Do you know what his girlfriend is like?”

Bai Duanduan smiled but remained silent, looking at Meng Xin.

Meng Xin understood and took out her wallet, pulling out five banknotes. “I know the routine. Take the money.”

“Auntie, you keep the money.”

“?”

“In the future, I think you might not have much personal money left, so cherish every penny and save it up.”

Meng Xin didn’t take it seriously. “Will I be short of money? Our Lin Lin earns so much, and his business ability is excellent…”

“No, it’s because of the girlfriend your son found. She’s quite strict with him.”

Meng Xin furrowed her brows. “You mean…”

“Yes.” Bai Duanduan nodded seriously. “You wanted to know what she’s like, right? Let me tell you. She’s intelligent, beautiful, dedicated to her work, in great shape, and has an extravagant taste…”

“Stop, stop, stop! Are you performing a comedy sketch?” Meng Xin wasn’t satisfied. “Get to the point, the point!”

“The point is, your son won’t spend as much on bags for you in the future. You need to control your material desires. It’s unnecessary to buy certain luxury items. With that money, it’s better to donate some to charity… And think about it, do you want Ji Lin to spend more time with you or satisfy your constant shopping needs by working overtime and never being around?”

Meng Xin listened and hesitated. “But then, won’t I have any new bags to carry in the future?”

“Well, you can borrow my bags. We can share them.”

As soon as Bai Duanduan said that, Meng Xin’s eyes lit up. She had been eyeing a few rare leather bags that Bai Duanduan had for a long time, but unfortunately, those bags were not in the previous “shared pool”…

Meng Xin couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional when she thought about those bags. Instead of her son finding a girlfriend who only looks good but lacks substance, it really would be better to give Bai Duanduan the opportunity. In terms of appearance and figure, Bai Duanduan could easily outshine everyone else. If she were to walk out with Bai Duanduan by her side, she could hold her head high in front of Mrs. Huang next door. Having Bai Duanduan as her daughter-in-law would bring her face and a strong presence! And in future arguments, she wouldn’t need to speak up herself. Bai Duanduan would handle it. And if she couldn’t win, she had Bai Duanduan’s fists!

Moreover, Bai Duanduan didn’t seem to be extravagant anymore. Look, she was even willing to give up luxury for love! It showed that she also had some frugal and thrifty genes in her. Perhaps she could really become her son’s wife…

Especially if it was Bai Duanduan, with her appearance, having a child with her son would undoubtedly result in a beautiful baby. And her old age would be delightful, raising a beautiful grandson or granddaughter.

*****

Ji Lin and his little enchantress of a girlfriend hadn’t returned yet, but it didn’t take much time to go from the supermarket to home. Meng Xin began to suspect if her son was diverted halfway to a hotel!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn’t let things go on like this. She couldn’t sit back and wait for this little enchantress to intrude into their lives and confront her.

Meng Xin glanced at Bai Duanduan. “Xiao Bai, what do you think of Ji Lin?”

“He’s good.”

“In that case…” Meng Xin paused for a moment and then decided to make a determined effort. “Why don’t you break up with your current boyfriend and be with Ji Lin?”

Upon hearing Meng Xin’s deafening statement, Bai Duanduan was stunned for five seconds before responding calmly, “But, Aunt Meng, didn’t you say Ji Lin already has a girlfriend?”

“Are you dumb? We’ll make sure he doesn’t have one!” Meng Xin smoothly said, “You and Ji Lin work together normally, so you already understand each other, right? That’s already a foundation of feelings. Plus, you’re in the same industry, have common topics, and appreciate and understand each other’s work. After marriage, you can fly together, make money together. Isn’t it great? Look, we get along well, and in the future, we can buy bags and go shopping together. Isn’t it a wonderful story? Why bother with that extreme old witch of your current boyfriend’s mother?”

Bai Duanduan stifled a laugh. “But Aunt Meng, I remember you saying that Ji Lin shouldn’t find someone like me for a girlfriend.”

“The circumstances have changed now, haven’t they? Besides, people’s thoughts can change. I see you now and think you’re good.” Meng Xin pretended to clear her throat. “Xiao Bai, let’s join forces and snatch away that little enchantress girlfriend of Ji Lin’s. A woman should have aspirations and lay claim to her territory, right?”

“And besides, since we’re both involved with men, instead of going after someone else, why not go after my son?”

“…”

Aunt Meng, you might not know this, but I’m actually already involved with your son…

Bai Duanduan pretended to remain calm on the surface, while inwardly finding it hilarious. She was about to confess, but then she heard the sound of the door finally opening.

Ji Lin had returned.
