Chapter 18: Favor



"Hello, it's not open yet, you're early!" A woman came out from the kitchen, wearing gloves, a beige sweater and a red apron.

She tidied her clothes, walked out, and when she looked up at Lan Xi, she was stunned for a moment.

Lan Xi put his hands in his pockets and looked at the woman. She didn't look very old, probably only in her early 40s. She had the typical appearance of a southern woman, gentle and calm.

She was dressed neatly, with her hair tied up at the back of her head. She had a slim figure and didn't look like she had given birth to a child. She looked like she had suffered a lot!

The woman also looked Lan Xi up and down, slowly taking off her gloves, revealing her slightly swollen fingers. She smiled slightly and said, "Miss, you are not here to eat, are you?"

She walked out slowly and reached out to untie her apron: "What...can I do for you?"

"Mom, I got the receipt. Where did you put it?" Someone came in from behind.

Lan Xi turned her head and saw a man who looked 50% similar to her. He was wearing a black cotton coat, arm sleeves, and holding a few receipts in his hands.

Seeing Lan Xi, he smiled and said, "Mom! You have guests so early today!"

As he said this, he passed Lan Xi and walked towards the woman!

After her son came in, the woman was obviously panicked. She took the receipt and said to her son, "Don't you still have classes at school? Go back and attend!"

Hearing his mother say this, the man smiled even brighter: "Mom, what are you talking about? It's the weekend! What's going on?"

Lan Xi's face also broke into a smile. Seeing this smile, the woman panicked even more. She reached out and pushed him to the back kitchen: "Mom forgot, then go in and see if there is anything left undone or unprepared!"

Being pushed like this by his mother, the man was a little confused: "Mom, what's wrong? Don't push me!"

The woman didn't turn around until her son entered the kitchen. She took a deep breath and walked up to Lan Xi: "Miss Lan! Is my guess correct?"

Lan Xi nodded and walked to the table farthest from the kitchen and sat down.

The woman noticed Lan Xi's kindness and her tense body relaxed a little!

As the two sat down, the woman couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do?"

She lowered her voice, her eyes filled with humiliation.

Lan Xi looked at the door curtain in the back kitchen, and the corner of her mouth curled up: "I would like to ask Ms. Bai what you want to do!"

The woman knew what she meant and couldn't help but quickly glance at the kitchen following her gaze. "I just want to live a good life. Please don't disturb me, Miss Lan!"

"Haha!" Lan Xi laughed and looked at the woman with a sarcastic look on her face:

"You... as a lawyer who graduated from a university, why did you become like this? I remember your son was also a lawyer!"

The woman clenched her hands tightly, and she knew that Lan Xi must have been prepared to appear here!

Lan Xi looked at the woman at her ease, bewildered, and frightened, each of which was exactly what she liked:

"Ms. Bai, you should know that I am the only daughter in the Lan family. I don't want the Lan family, which belongs to me, to be controlled by someone else one day!"

"No, don't worry, it won't happen! I just want to live a good life. Don't worry, Miss Lan, something like this will never happen!"

The woman quickly assured Lan Xi, looking very sincere!

But...it looks like the most useless thing!

Lan Xi smiled, but remained noncommittal about the woman's words.

"Well, you're a lawyer, and your son is also a lawyer. You should know how to draft a voluntary waiver of inheritance and a voluntary waiver of estate, right?"

The woman didn't expect that even after she said this, Lan Xi still didn't believe it. The feeling of humiliation reappeared. She closed her eyes and nodded: "I'll go!"

Lan Xi was satisfied: "Ms. Bai is indeed sensible. In this case, I will not bother you any more!"

She stood up and looked in the direction of the kitchen: "Oh, by the way, I've seen your son's professional results, they're very good!"

The woman became nervous again: "Miss Jiang, you..."

She wanted to say, "Don't touch my son," but she knew clearly that if Lan Xi wanted to do it, she would have no way to stop him!

"Ms. Bai, don't be nervous. We are all victims in this matter, aren't we?"

Lan Xi turned and walked outside. Outside, people were coming and going, and it was very lively. Standing on the steps, she looked at the woman beside her:

"In the future, I might need a reliable lawyer to join Lan's legal department. I hope to see his resume then!"

Seeing that the woman subconsciously wanted to refuse, Lan Xi raised her hand to stop her: "Think about it carefully, take your time, there is still time!"

The man came out of the kitchen and saw his mother standing at the door looking at something: "Mom, have the guests left?"

The woman didn't say anything and remained in the same posture!
