100,000/Hour Professional Stand-in Chapter 91.1: We’re Over (1)

Confusion was written all over Bai Zhou’s face. He couldn’t understand how his mother was involved in this matter.

Ji Fanyin hadn’t intended to show her hand to Bai Zhou today. Bai Zhengye’s visit had come as a surprise, but she was planning to just humor him a little and send him on his way.

Ji Fanyin was certain that b
