The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Ji Xiehan didn't wait to hear what his mother has to say. 

He was right. Ji Feifei had cried and begged for their forgiveness, saying that she only wanted to teach Li Lanni a lesson for framing her weeks ago. And as the fools Ji Feifei had made them, they actually believed her. 

To be exact, Old Master Ji did have his suspicions, but Madam Ji had been taken for a fool. 

It was tiresome just thinking about it. 

___

The following day. 

After their art class, Li Lanni and Cheng Yu happily decided to go to the employees' cafeteria for lunch. 

They had heard Ruby say the food there was delicious. And for a girl like Ruby to compliment it, it had to be tasty. 

They were just about to reach the entrance of the employees' cafeteria when Li Lanni saw someone from the corner of her eye. 

She wasn't very familiar with this woman, but she could vaguely remember her to be Madam Ji. They had met at the banquet.

Li Lanni could guess that she came here to meet her, but she had a feeling that she didn't come here just to have a casual conversation with her.

"Lanni?" Cheng Yu probed when she realized that Li Lanni had stopped. "What's wrong?" 

Madam Ji had a solemn expression as she scrutinized Li Lanni then turned to Cheng Yu. "I want to have a word with your friend. If you'll excuse us." After leaving her with these words, she just dragged Li Lanni away.

"Sheesh." Cheng Yu was unhappy when the woman simply dragged her friend away, but what could she do about it? 

Wait. Wasn't that Madam Ji? What did she want from Lanni? 

...

Li Lanni wasn't happy either. How could she just drag away like that without her consent? there was such a thing as a courtesy!

Of course, Madam Ji's visit was expected after the discussion that didn't end well with her son last night. 

"To what do I owe the honor of having Madam Ji look for me?" She asked with a frown on her face when the woman stopped dragging her. 

Madam Ji wasn't in the mood to mince her words, or she found it below herself to do so. "You do know why I am here." 

"I don't." Li Lanni said with a straight face. If this was about Ji Feifei... 

"My Xiehan is a handsome and capable man, with an impressive educational background and a good head on his shoulders. He is not even the CEO yet but look at all the achievements he has made in the company over the years. The woman he will marry has to be intelligent and from an impressive background. A woman who can carry on the name of our Ji family." 

When she was done speaking, Li Lanni looked at her, confused. "And which part of all this is my business?" Was this an advertis.e.m.e.nt of sorts? 

"I know what you want." The woman was displeased by Li Lanni's tone. "Every woman wants to marry my Xiehan. But you do not qualify." 

Li Lanni finally understood what was going on. This was one of those rich mother-in-law vs. poor daughter-in-law scenes. 

Only in this case, neither was she poor, nor was she interested in her rich son. So she laughed it off. "Madam Ji, I don't have anything to do with your oh-so-precious son." This woman wasn't polite, so Li Lanni didn't bother being polite either. Not to mention, she was Ji Feifei's mother. 

"Huh." Madam Ji scoffed. "Years ago, I would have mistaken you for a good girl. But not only did you turn into an immoral woman, but you are also a gold digger. 

A woman like you, who doesn't even come from a complete family, do you think you deserve my son? Was it your mother who taught you to seduce men from wealthy families?

Don't even bother putting on an act. In the end, don't women like you only want money? Tell me how much do you want from my son? I will give it to you if you stay away from him." 

Li Lanni almost picked her ears. Cliché through and through. Didn't these mothers-in-law ever have new lines? 

She smiled at the woman before her, almost in pity at her nonsensical thoughts. But when she heard her talk that way about her mother, the pity in her disappeared and she retorted, " You are so delusional. Now I know where your daughter's wishful thinking came from. Do I need money from your son? Oh please, don't be ridiculous. I'm not interested in your son." She sneered. "You think too highly of yourself. Think about who you're speaking to. I am Li Yuming's daughter. 

I don't blame you for not knowing it, but my mother is among the world's most famous artists. A single painting from her can as well buy your entire house. 

She can earn millions of dollars just by closing her eyes and doodling some circles on paper. What more money do I need?

You are telling me that I need to marry into your family for money? Ridiculous! 

You should be asking yourself which part of me your family deserves." 

She had never liked throwing her mother's name around, but she couldn't help herself. How could she stand someone using their so-called power to look down on her? 

"You must be offering me money as an indirect way of making me accept your son, but sorry! I will not stoop below my standards no matter how much you offer." 

Madam Ji was fuming with rage. How dare this girl look down on her son?! 

"Also, I can't believe that people from the so-called top families act like shrews. Are you so proud of yourself to prove that other people are not worthy?" She recalled something and asked in a half-whisper. "Your daughter was in a scandal with a married man not too long ago. Are you the one who taught her to seduce married men?" 

With that, she walked off. 

"Little sl*t!" Madam Ji cursed behind her. She was just pretending to act all high and mighty! And how dare she talk that way about Feifei?! She even dared to use that statement to insult her!

That girl better not set foot near the Ji family.

Of course, Li Lanni was not planning to set foot in her family. Madam Ji was just delusional! 

...

After meeting Madam Ji, she was no longer in the mood to have lunch, so she went home. 

She couldn't help thinking about it. This wasn't the first person talking that way about her mother. 

Technically, only people from the Ji family were trying to make her mother pass off as some immoral woman. Was this another of Ji Feifei's antics? 

This wouldn't do. 

She thought for a while then made a phone call. 

"Luna, I want to eliminate someone."

"What?" 

Xia Luna was just about to go to sleep when she recieved Li Lanni's phone call. That statement made her blood run cold. 

She peeked to make sure the light in Cheng Yu's room was off before she lowered her voice to ask. "Who?" 

"Ji Feifei." Came the emotionless reply. 

Xia Luna wasn't shocked. Of course it would be her. It was in fact surprising that she wasn't dead yet. 

No, wait. The focus here was that Li Lanni wasn't even close to her. Why would she tell her such a thing? 

It was as though Li Lanni was reading her mind--if that could possibly be done through phone -- because her next statement answered it all. "Luna, you're my sister. You are the only person I can tell this." 

Xia Luna felt her heart swell with warmth. Her sister finally realized this. 

"Actually, I knew you wanted to get rid of her yourself. That's why I didn't make any major moves on her." Xia Luna explained. "I have a way to get close to her. Do you want me to shove a knife into her heart?" 

"What? Hell no!" Li Lanni literally shouted. Was her sister crazy? How could she say such things so casually? 

"This phone call isn't being recorded by some hacker, right?" Li Lanni remembered to take precaution. "Perhaps we should meet up." 

"That's a bad idea. Your man is looking me up. He might tail you." 

"Eer..." Why was it that when Xia Luna said 'your man', her brain automatically filled Ji Xiehan into that slot? 

It might be because he was the one Xia Luna was talking about but oh well. 

"First off, he's not my man. Secondly, we can discuss on phone as long as it's not being spied." 

"It wouldn't be. I'm good in this field." 

"Okay." Li Lanni proceeded to tell her what she wanted to do. She could have done it herself, but she knew that Ji Feifei might be expecting her to do something after what happened at the banquet. She trusted that Xia Luna knew what to do.
