Seeing her second plan about to be disrupted by Zhang Liling, Shi Wenqian got angry in her spirit and decided to speed up the plans she had for her.
If her daughter can't end up with the person she wants to be with, then Zhang Liling shouldn't have the opportunity to do so after messing things up for her.
After returning to her bedroom and calming her nerves down by taking slow and steady deep breaths, she washed down the remaining anger in her system with a cold drink before locking her room door.
Walking up to her desk, she picked up her phone and dialled a contact. Placing the phone on her ear, she listened to it ring for a short while before someone at the other end picked it up.
With no time to hear the greeting from the man, she immediately drove straight to the point.
"Have you found where my stepdaughter is living?" She inquired with furrowed brows.
"Yes, Ma'am." The man replied in a straight tone.
"Then what have you been waiting for?" She said in a harsh tone with raised brows.
She looked unhappy and ready to beat someone up for the information only reaching her now because she asked.
"... Don't you know how important this task is?" She continued.
The man at the other end immediately explained, "I'm sorry Ma'am, but I'm only finding out now, and the reason I delayed in letting you know, is because I'm working to see her current location since she was last seen here more than a week ago."
Shi Wenqian paused as the frown on her face slowly diminished. 'Could she be with her friend?'
Thinking of that high possibility, she immediately ordered for Tungmei's place to be searched.
"Check her out at her friend's place. If you see no signs of her, use whatever means you have to track her down. When you get her, I want her alive because I have so many things to say to her before personally extracting her body organs."
"Yes, Ma'am." The deep voice of the man resounded in her ear.
Shi Wenqian went on to give him a few other instructions before terminating the call.
Her last suggestion said, "If all the plans fail, wait till she appears in front of the Fang Group in 3 days and get a hold of her."
Shi Wenqian was very desperate to catch Zhang Liling in her claws that she sent out her minions to find out her address.
If they failed to bring her over in 2 days, then she would gladly wait for the next day when she would go to Fang Group on her first day of internship.
It would surely be perfect to get a hold of her on the day she felt she had her whole life put together.
At that thought, she chuckled loudly and swirled around.
Finally, there was a smile on her face.
*******
"What?! You have finally made up your mind to date her?!"
Chuanli couldn't believe his ears as he immediately got off his seat with his phone in hand.
Earlier, he called Mr. Fang to talk about the development of his new pills and decided to joke with him by asking about his relationship with Zhang Liling, but he ended up shocking him instead.
Mr. Fang's face contoured in a frown as he moved his phone away from his ear. His eardrums almost got damaged.
Now, he was starting to regret the reason he told him about this news he has been expectant of, over the phone.
"Did you injure your head? If I didn't decide already, would I be mentioning it to you in the first place?."
Chuanli half-rolled his eyes and sat back down on his chair. "Bingwen let me advice you now, if you want your relationships to last, you have to be careful of your lethal tongue."
"Keep the advice to yourself, and I think you should learn how to shut your mouth at times." Mr. Fang replied with a snort.
Some times, he questioned the kind of friend Chuanli was. He was mostly saying things when it was not needed.
Chuanli shrugged as his face brimmed with smiles. He was still excited about the information he just got from him, and was almost tempted to end the conversation with him and phone Zhang Liling, but he refused to give in for fear of offending his Boss.
"When is your first date?" He inquired as his fingers drummed the black leathered desk.
"Why are you concerned?" Mr. Fang asked and sat into his chair and swirled it around slowly.
His gaze was fixed on the door. He could hear the soft knock on it before Bolin pushed it open and walked in.
Seeing him on a call, he pointed at the file in his hand and wrote something in the air before turning to leave.
Mr. Fang got the message that his signature was needed on the document and immediately reached out for it with his free hand while listening to Chuanli.
"Of course, I have to be concerned! Miss Zhang is your ever first girlfriend, I am happy and proud of you."
Fang Bingwen's nose scrunched in irritation as his gaze moved somewhere else. He didn't know why, but he didn't like the sound of that.
"Chuanli, I would like you to keep your mouth shut on this. Don't let your big mouth get you into trouble." He threatened before moving his attention back to the document and started to flip over the pages one after the other while glancing through them.
"Big mouth? Do I have a big mouth?" Chuanli mumbled to himself as he quickly drew out a compartment that was a part of his work desk and whipped out a face mirror.
Holding the mirror out in front of him, he studied his facial features with much of his attention on his lips.
He even went as far as pouting his lips and making different movement with it.
Mr. Fang was oblivious to his actions as most of his attention was on the document before him. While waiting for his response, he picked up his pen to sign on the pages that required his signature.
