Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

"Do you think you are the only that has been bullied by my mother?" Zhang Xiaoling asked.

Then without waiting for her response, she continued.

"My mother neglected me most of the times in my life and the only reason I was with her before, was because I was waiting on a glimmer of hope but until the end, I never saw it.

Fully aware that I would be heading to the path of destruction of I didn\'t stay away from her, I had to make a decision and I did."

Smiling at Zhang Xiaoling, she leaned in to the table. "You must think my mother favoured me and of course, you are not wrong for thinking that way since it was all you could see.

But all my life, my mother had only cared about my brother while leaving me behind. The only reason I was fortunate to receive money and other necessities instead of her attention and love is because I am her daughter."

There were so many things Zhang Xiaoling had to complain about, but this was not the right time and place to vent and especially to Zhang Liling who probably didn\'t care about her emotions since she had treated her badly in the past.

There was a stepfather that used all the people under him for his benefits, and there was biological mother who cared more for her son more than her daughter, and used them to gain some power.

Her life was really pitiful.

Before, Zhang Xiaoling planned to move and concentrate on building a family with Tang Enlai, but on learning that the person her mother gave her everything to might be biological child of Zhang Renshu, she suddenly wanted to drag her down.

"If you really want to take revenge on your mother, that will be a fun scene for me to watch because I can\'t be any happier than now.\' Zhang Liling said without hiding her disdain.

Ignoring that look on her face, Zhang Xiaoling probed, "You are going to let me work on this with you?"

"Not really, but I have a task for you. As you said, we need a concrete evidence that shows the bloody mess your mother sank her hands into.

For this, I would need you to help father the evidences since you know so much about it."

"No way!"

Immediately, she turned her down.

"My mother will get suspicious if I suddenly get close to her and show interest in the black market business. She is very crafty." Zhang Xiaoling pointed out.

Knowing her mother very well, she was better off giving advises from the best point of view.

Understanding what she meant and little but impactful it was, Zhang Liling nodded.

"Fine."

While lost in thought, she heard Zhang Xiaoling making a demand. "Can I see the evidence that shows that Zhang Mingyu is not the biological son of your father?"

Since she had made mention of this before, it would be pleasing if she saw a proof that would make her garden her heart and turn it to a stone till she was done dealing with someone.

"I don\'t have any evidence and this is the second task I have for you."

Zhang Liling said as the corner of her lips curled into a smirk.

Finally, there was something else she could use her step-sister for.

"And what is it?" Zhang Xiaoling inquired.

"I need you get the strands from your mother\'s hair, Zhang Mingyu and my father\'s. If you can\'t get their hair, look for anything that came be used to conduct a DNA test and hand them over to me. And when the results come out, I will let you be the one to expose this secret."

Returning home after work, Zhang Liling immediately spilled the content of the agreement she had reached with Zhang Xiaoling.

"You did well." Fang Bingwen complimented whole giving her a thumbs-up.

"Thank you," Zhang Liling said happily before continuing to eat her food.

Watching her eat with that smile on her face, Fang Bingwen smiled as well before deciding to reveal something to her.

"Zhang Mingyu\'s wedding will be taking place soon and some arrangements had already begun."

"I know Shi Wenqian will want to hurry up with her plans, but she is just joking. I will never let that wedding take place. I will make sure to expose his relationship with that girl from work a few days to his wedding ceremony." Zhang Liling promised with a sneer.

"Doing that will not be enough reason for the Ong family to call off the wedding even if Emma Ong is their only daughter. The Ong and the Zhang family has come a long way and only a strong news will force them to take a step back without minding their image."

"Well, we have to force Zhang Mingyu to do something huge that will discredit him as a good husband and son-in-law before the time is too late." Zhang Liling said after agreeing with him.

Having an idea of how some big families worked, she couldn\'t rule out that possibility.

"Honey, can you send someone to follow Zhang Mingyu and get as many videos, records and pictures that can discredit him?" She pleaded.

"I will. We have less than 6 weeks to put your stepmother behind bars."

Fang Bingwen agreed wholeheartedly with her.

~Zhang Cooperation~

During work hours, Tungmei who always had her eyes in Mikayla as a favour from herself to her best friend, noticed something wrong with her.

She couldn\'t count the number of times she left her desk and returned looking worse than before.

The last time she returned to her desk, her eyes and her nose were red, but she didn\'t look like she had been crying.

She still looked healthy while working efficiently until during the close of work when she started to get distracted.

With her eyes on the door, she was fortunate to find Zhang Mingyu leaving with his workbag, and quickly clocked off work and followed him without waiting for her superior\'s approval.

Apparently, she didn\'t care about getting scolded.
