Chapter 107: The so called huge favor
Cheng Yu was the only one who knew about Li Lanni’s encounter with Madam Ji. Actually, Li Lanni didn’t want to reminisce and gossip about her confrontation with Madam Ji to anyone because she felt it below herself to dwell on it.
But Cheng Yu wouldn’t let her off. She had clung to her and annoyed her into recounting all the details about her conversation with Madam Ji word-to-word. Li Lanni knew that Cheng Yu was worried about her, so she patiently told her everything and asked her not to say these things to anyone.
While Madam Ji was about to burst with anger, how could she face people when a little girl had shamed her?
Her hatred for Li Lanni deepened even more. She was initially thinking about giving that girl a chance if she was outstanding, but now she had made up her mind. Li Lanni would never set foot into their family.
In anger, she called Mrs. Feng, who was her close friend and ranted to her over a cup of tea. "Can you imagine it?! A little b*tch dared to be so rude to me, yet she expects to get her hands on my son?! Not as long as I live!"
Mrs. Feng had heard about Ji Xiehan bringing a girl to the banquet. While she was displeased, she had kept her calm. And look, it paid off! She knew Madam Ji too well.
How could the Ji family accept some random girl into their family? Only a capable girl like her Feng Ci could make a good wife for Ji Xiehan.
Now that they were at it, she brought it up in passing. "The kids have grown up very fast. We are now even talking about their marriage. I still remember seeing them play together and pull pranks on each other."
Madam Ji somehow knew where this kind of conversation was heading to and went with the flow. "Feng Ci was so pretty as a little girl. And now she has grown into an exceptional beauty with brains. If only Xiehan could open his eyes..."
The women chatted on, each knowing what they wanted but passing it off as a casual chat.
In the end, Mrs. Feng just came out with it. "We cannot force the kids to fall in love, but we can initiate it. How about we let them meet? They might just ignite a spark!"
