"Zhang Renshu, you had convinced me 4 years ago to bring Liling to start and complete her college education here. I had refused a few times and finally agreed after you said something to me. Can you remember what you told me?" Song Jujing asked with an unhappy gaze.
Zhang Renshu adjusted his sitting position before replying, "I remember vividly. I told you not to punish our daughter for my crimes, and let you bring her to spend a few years with me, so we can establish a father and daughter relationship."
Back then, he had said those words to her because he desperately wanted to establish a good relationship with the daughter they had together.
When she left him a few years after he messed up a few days before their wedding, he didn't know she was pregnant and had only found out about it when Zhang Liling was already 5 years old, from a reliable source.
He had done a thorough but quick investigation to find the country, city, and address they were living in, before finally making a trip down there.
After confirming things from Song Jujing, he felt so sorry and spent 2 more days there, and promised to return soon. But by the time he came back to Country S and returned to Paris, they have already changed their contact address and moved places.
He was disappointed as he left for Country S, but while mulling over the matter, he continued to search for them, and finally, he managed to get a hold of them during Zhang Liling's senior year in high school, and that was how he managed to strike a deal with her.
"Good! Now that I can see my daughter is not in good hands, I will take her with me once she graduates from college." Song Jujing said while pointing in Zhang Liling's direction.
Zhang Liling who has been sitting quietly and thinking about how to make an encounter with Mr. Fang's personal assistant for the housekeeping job, jolted back to reality when she felt the 3 pairs of eyes on her.
'What are they talking about?'
"If you want to take her, go ahead, who is stopping you?" Shi Wenqian asked in a negligent tone. She would be more than happy if Zhang Liling left the Zhang house at that very moment.
As for the blood donation, she could easily find someone else for it, as long as she was not in Country S.
Zhang Renshu glanced at her with a displeased gaze. "Shut up! Who are you to make decisions for me when I'm here?"
Shifting a more relaxed gaze to Song Jujing he said, "Jujing things haven't come to this. I will accept the blame for being negligent towards our daughter, and I promise to take better care of her."
"That's not enough. You have to show it. How can my daughter be living under your care, and not look like it?"
No matter what he said to try and convince her, she refused. He told her that Zhang Liling could not leave the country because he was preparing a position at his company for her, but she refused to fall for it.
"Is this the reason you asked for my daughter? To slave for your company"
Shi Wenqian was the only person that saw things differently, being reminded of the reason her husband forced her stepdaughter to study business, got her alarmed.
Being reminded of his goal, she began to plot in her mind of a way to get rid of Zhang Liling before that time came.
Song Jujing was too stubborn to listen to her ex. She went as far as telling him to start sending money to their daughter directly to her bank account instead of giving it to Shi Wenqian to pass to her.
When Shi Wenqian wanted to flare up, she put her in her place after exposing her for not giving Zhang Liling up to the 40% allowance that was allocated to her on a monthly basis.
If it wasn't for one thing, Zhang Renshu would have slapped her, and it seemed that Shi Wenqian noticed the depth of his anger, and hurriedly left the couch for him.
At long last, Zhang Renshu managed to placate Son Jujing's anger by sending her off to prepare the best guest room for her, transferring 5 months' worth of monthly allowance to Zhang Liling right in front of her, and making a few promises to her.
With all these being displayed in front of her, Zhang Liling marveled at her mother's power and control over her father. If she wasn't in a hurry right now, she would have loved to ask her mother some deep questions.
Right now, the most important thing for her was to get something done. She told her father and mother that she had something urgent to do at the café and quickly rushed out without waiting for a response.
What was she going to do at the café when she had a computer in her bedroom?
Zhang Liling had just found a way to meet with Bolin after thinking so hard. He said he was looking for a housekeeper but hadn't found any.
Where would he go to find a housekeeper? Of course, Zhang Liling knew. There were 2 top agencies like that in City S, where potential housekeepers, security men, cooks, gardeners, etc go to look for a job.
Now, she was going to do the same with the fake ID and resume she was fixing together at the café.
After typing the information she needed, she clicked on print, and then rubbed her palms smoothly, while smiling at the printer as it made some printing noises.
Finally, when the papers came out, she picked them up and smiled to herself while cross-checking them.
"Liling, you are so intelligent." Zhang Liling praised herself before rushing to finish her project, ID card.
By the time Zhang Liling returned home, it was almost time for dinner.
"I haven't seen you for almost 2 years, snd you run off to the internet café to do what?" Song Jujing asked with an unfriendly gaze. She was quite unhappy with her daughter's actions earlier.
Zhang Liling faced her with a smile that was not a smile. "You should I embrace you for coming here to make my life more difficult?" She didn't look too happy as well.
"What do you mean? I made your father promise to watch over you more carefully. Look at the amount of money he sent to you, doesn't it show the kind of effort I put in?" Song Jujing said with a proud gaze.
