However, such a small matter didn't embarrass the thick-skinned Bai Qingyan in the slightest. She placed the gift box on the table and affectionately sat down next to Ji Mingzhen, but it was avoided without leaving a trace. Bai Qingyan didn't mind, and instead moved closer to Ji Mingzhen, causing Ji Mingzhen to dislike her even more.

"Mingzhen, look at how good-looking Anfey is. She can certainly go on a rampage. "Help her more, show her your face."

"Didn't I already introduce the brokers to you? He's an extremely powerful person in the industry, why don't you just look for him? " Ji Ming truly did not want to pay any attention to the two of them.

In the past, she had helped them easily in order to deal with An Ning. But now, the mother and daughter pair were of little use to her. She had already successfully pushed An Ning away and became the future wife of Madame Jiang, thus she no longer needed them.

"I know that too, but there was no news about that person after we last met. I think you're a true person, and auntie likes you too. Uhm, my friend just bought me a new LV bag, and I brought it for you." Bai Qingyan smiled amiably as she opened the box. She didn't look the same as when she was facing An Ning.

Anfey obediently sat to the side. When she met Ji Mingzhen's gaze, she would sweetly smile, trying to curry favor with him.

Although the An clan also had its own company, they were not interested in the Ji clan. Moreover, Ji Mingzhen was engaged to Jiang Jia, so the mother and daughter pair naturally tried their best to curry favor with Ji Mingzhen.

Ji Mingzhen swept her eyes over the new LV bag. She was about to get tired of the new one even before it was sold. Just as she was about to kick him out, a malicious plan suddenly appeared in her mind.

"It's fine if you want me to help Anfey enter the entertainment circle, but …" Ji Mingzhen dragged her words as her lips covered in bright red lipstick hooked up into a proud smile.

"Mingzhen, but what?" As long as Ji Ming was willing to bring her into the entertainment industry and become a celebrity, she would be willing to do anything. Thinking about how she could stand under the spotlight and be worshipped by tens of thousands of people, Anfey would wake up laughing in her sleep. At that time, she could ruthlessly trample on An Ning, tear off her cold mask, and throw her into the dust.

"But you guys have to help me steal An Ning's blueprint." Ji Mingzhen smiled arrogantly, enunciating every word clearly. Even though An Ning had already divorced Jiang Xiushan, Ji Mingzhen was always worried that she would take Jiang Lianhan away and destroy her.

Ji Mingzhen naturally knew that An Ning wanted to make it into the finals, but she wanted to make it so that she couldn't even make it into the preliminaries!

If she could steal the blueprints, then bribe a designer and ask An Ning to copy them, she would completely lose her reputation.

As for the people who were going to steal the blueprints, of course, there was no one more suitable to do so than the two in front of him.

"This …"

Bai Qingyan quickly stopped her, feeling a little hesitant. To be able to climb up to the position of matriarch of the An clan, Bai Qingyan still had some tricks up her sleeves. Stealing An Ning's blueprint could be a small matter, but what if something went wrong? When the time came, all the blame would be placed on himself and Anfey, and they would be finished.

"Don't worry, just give me the blueprint. The rest of the matters have nothing to do with you. Even if something really happens, it won't come to you." Ji Mingzhen's bewitching voice came in a low tone. Bai Qingyan hesitated for a long time before she looked at her daughter, who was looking at her with a beseeching expression. In the end, she chose to agree.

There wasn't much time left until the preliminaries, and Ji Ming didn't have much patience. He urged Bai Qingyan and her daughter to bring the draft over as soon as possible. If they were delayed for too long, he wasn't sure if Anfey's name would appear on the list.

The mother and daughter duo simply discussed how to steal the blueprints at home before deciding to go to Xu Wang's home to look for An Ning.

An Ning was drawing the blueprints upstairs when she suddenly heard that someone had come looking for her. It was two women, both of them with misgivings. Just as she reached the corner of the stairs, she saw Bai Qingyan and Anfey sitting in the middle of the living room.

"Ah, An Ning, that …" Mom is here to apologize to you, sorry! "

When the mother and daughter heard An Ning's voice coming down the stairs, they hurriedly stood up. Unlike yesterday's arrogant appearance, they both gently smiled. It was just that they didn't know the true meaning behind her smile.

He really did not want anyone to know about the private matters in his house. Fortunately, Xu Wang and Xu Qing were not at home today, and if Xu Qing were at home, she would definitely viciously scold them. At that time, the situation would truly become unmanageable.

"Elder sister An Ning, I'm sorry. My words that day were too unpleasant to listen to."

"I was a bit too impulsive that day, I shouldn't have spilled all over your body of coffee. But you're really something. How could you use such hot water to splash mother and sister?"

An Ning sat down on the other side of the sofa and listened to their apologies with a cold expression. Yesterday, she had maintained her arrogant demeanor and had come to apologize today. It was unknown as to what sort of plot she was up to.

"I guess you don't need to call me mother. Did you say anything? I haven't finished my painting. " An Ning spoke in a euphemistic tone, implying that she would apologise as well. I'll continue painting, you guys can leave first.

"The three of us haven't chatted together in a long time, let's talk more. Painting can wait for another day." Bai Qingyan would not leave so easily even if she had not stolen the blueprint. She held on to An Ning with an awkward smile.

She had already said what she wanted to say, but Bai Qingyan had already decided that she was going to shamelessly stick up for them. An Ning had no choice but to accompany them in their acting, trying to find out what she really wanted to do.

Bai Qingyan stiffly pulled An Ning along while the topic became less and less. Her amiable stepmother was on the verge of breaking down as well as using her eyes to signal Anfey, who was sitting beside her bored and was already buttoning her fingers. Upon receiving her mother's instructions, Anfey clutched her stomach and stood up, beginning to carry out her own plan.

"I want to go to the bathroom."

An Fu didn't even know where An Ning's room was. A servant just happened to walk past her and Anfey pulled her over. He lied that An Ning felt cold from talking, so she asked her to go to her room to get some clothes.

Without the slightest suspicion, the servant brought Anfey to An Ning's room before leaving.

As An Ning was still revising her manuscript before she went downstairs, she didn't have the time to pack it up. She didn't even need to look for it. She picked it up and put it in her pocket before leaving.
