Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

"That\'s great." Leaning in to speak softly next to his ear since she could easily reach him as he was sitting beside her, she asked.

"Where is your girlfriend, did she come?"

Instantly, Zhang Renshu leaned away from her to flash her a warning gaze.

Sighing to herself Zhang Liling leaned away from him while explaining herself.

"Dad you see, I need more people with influence that would help promote my brand."

In simplicity, she was telling him that the reason she was asking about his secret partner was because she was aware that he wouldn\'t fall for a woman without influence.

So the reason she wanted him to invite her to her brand\'s launch party was because having a good relationship with the woman would also help to boost her brand even though she really didn\'t need her.

Imagine as the side chic, you learn that your partner\'s daughter welcomes you with open arms, without any prejudice, you would easily succumb to her wants.

Well, Zhang Liling was mostly doing this to spite her stepmother who would surely lose her mind when she learns of this.

Having about 50 guests which included wealthy business men and women, influencers, celebrities and the likes of them, truly wasn\'t an easy fit.

Plus a few people that showed interest on their own to attend the event.

This was truly a well-thought out party.

With Tang Enlai and Zhang Xiaoling who arrived a little late sitting somewhere, occupying a table with three other guests, they had their eyes on the stage to watch and listen to the MC.

Since they arrived late because if the long journey plus leaving a little late, they were amongst the few guests who still didn\'t know the owner of Glint\'s brand.

But as time went on, they soon found out who the owner was to their surprise.

Seeing the MC introducing the CEO and founder of Glint cosmetics and Zhang Liling standing up from her seat which was at the forefront and walking to the stage as each one of the guests clapped for her, they fell shut of words.

"She is the owner of Glint?" The both mumbled to themselves as surprise dwelled in their facial expression.

Instantly, all of this looked surreal, especially to Zhang Xiaoling and Shu Rushi who occupied a table with her parents and two of her best friends.

Recognizing the young lady on stage to be Zhang Renshu\'s biological daughter, Mrs. Shu retracted her gaze from the stage to glance at her daughter.

"Rushsi, is she not your classmate?"

Immediately, the fingers belonging to Rushi which was under the table, clenched the more as her teeth gritted in anger.

"She is." Her reply almost sounded like a threat as her gaze was still watching Zhang Liling smiling on the stage as she took over from the MC to speak.

\'She is the owner?\' Even her best friends who were sitting at her sitting at her left side were surprised as so many thoughts began to run through their heads.

Zhang Liling was capable of starting a makeup brand with this standard?r

The reason they were so surprised was because of Glint\'s advertisement which was everywhere. r

Just a little step into social media and you would see the ads flying around everywhere. Who knew that Zhang Liling would be the owner?r

But noticing the people sitting around her which included Fang Bingwen, the glint of surprise on their faces changed to that of contempt.r

She had a rich father. Her mother was the Editor-in-chief of a famous magazine originating from Paris, her boyfriend was the one and only Fang Bingwen, a man after a lot of women\'s heart.r

Why wouldn\'t she be able to build a brand of her own with their help?r

She really knew how to snatch the best of them.r

This was the thought going through their mind in order to comfort Zhang Liling\'s success.r

At a particular table, a handsome man in his late fifties had shock written all over his face when he saw Zhang Liling stand in the crowd and instantly, he felt uncomfortable.r

Recognizing her as the owner of the brand launch he came for, made him want to leave immediately, but he couldn\'t as that would attract unwanted attention.r

Now beginning to feel a few glances dart toward him, he sat still on his seat as he lowered his gaze.r

He couldn\'t leave. He was now stuck.r

***r

Seeing the surprise on his wife\'s face, Tang Enlai leaned in to whisper to her ear to avoid the other guests sitting around them from hearing him.r

"You didn\'t know about this?" r

"No." Zhang Xiaoling replied, looking a little disturbed. r

How is it possible that she would know that her stepsister is the owner of Glint and yet, feel disturbed about her mother-in-law\'s treatment towards the brand launch?r

If she even had the slightest clue about Zhang Liling\'s collection to the brand, she wouldn\'t have been moved one bit, and coming here wouldn\'t have been possible either.r

Currently, she was already shocked beyond measure, and now she was uncomfortable.r

She just couldn\'t believe this.r

\'You two must indeed be enemies...\' Tang Enlai concluded in his mind about the sisters relationship before shifting his attention back to the stage.r

He too was surprised on finding out that Zhang Liling was the owner of Glint. And remembering the efforts he made just to get an invite because of Zhang Xiaoling, he was left speechless.r

If the two sisters were in good terms with each other, Zhang Xiaoling would have known about her being the owner of the brand, and she would have so easily come for the launch without him making that effort.r

Tang Enlai didn\'t know what to say. He could only release deep breaths till he had calmed down to a great extent.r

He really wanted to take off his cap for the relationship the Tang family members had with each other.r

They needed an award.r

While Zhang Xiaoling was surprised with the turn of events, her mother-in-law who was also sitting somewhere and yet to discover her presence, was fuming with rage.r

Since she came late, she was still unaware about Zhang Liling being the owner of Glint until this moment.r

And seeing her on that stage, made her clench her fingers as she thought that Zhang Xiaoling knew about this all along but watched her make a fool of herself about the event.r

The woman was really pissed.r
