Tilting her head to the side, Zhang Liling gave him what side glance. "What about me?"
"You have a good taste as well. That goes to tell how much you two are related," Fang Bingwen praised immediately she presented the opportunity to him.
Will she stop being angry now?
Thankfully, she didn't go overboard with her treatment.
As soon as Mr. Fang finished the tea, he set out to leave.
"I have quite a lot to deal with at the company today. Your mother is here, spend time with her. If there is anything about the event, you can report directly to me."
"Sure, I will..." Zhang Liling said, ready to escort him to the elevator, but then, her mother had to come out.
With a smile on her face, she carried over two big nylon bags. "Bingwen, I got these for you. Take care of your health."
Receiving the things from her hands, Fang Bingwen who was surprised, thanked her while wondering what might be inside of it.
"Thank you, I will use them well, do have a great day," he said with a small smile.
Zhang Liling kept staring at the two large nylons in his hands in curiousity till they both left her apartment.
"When you get home, tell me if there is anything weird inside," She said shifting her gaze to his face as they approached the elevator.
"Hahahaha..." Fang Bingwen burst out into a low chuckle.
"What weird thing can your mother give to me? Surely, you are thinking too much."
"It looks like our mothers love giving out things." Zhang Liling commented after dual observation.
She could still remember how Mrs. Fang and the old lady filled the trunk of their car with so many things the time they were leaving.
Her mother was already doing the same thing.
The only difference was that she didn't leave in S city, so she couldn't give as much as the women from the Fang family did.
It seemed that this was a mother spirit. The urge to take care of their children and in-laws.
After sending him off, Zhang Liling returned to her apartment.
*******
Mrs. Tang walked into the living room carrying a familiar looking box in her arms while letting a servant follow her with her big brown leather handbag.
A small smile graced her lips as she took short strides to the living room. Walking straight to the two-sitter sofa, she settled in it.
The servant following behind her, placed her bag beside her and went to stand at the side as she fiddled with the box herself.
"This new make-up brand has a good taste. I wonder why I didn't ask my assistant to deliver it sooner." She said to herself as she opened the box.
Seeing the well-packaged items inside, she immediately grabbed them one after the other to have a good look at them.
After fiddling with them with a satisfied smile on her face, she picked up the invitation that came with it.
"Glint," her soft voice uttered as her eyes ran through the special invitation card.
After reading it, she picked up the personal letter to read them.
"The owner of this brand is so thoughtful," she commented with a face full of smiles.
She was very impressed with Zhang Liling's brand packaging plus the act of the personal letter she decided to add.
She made every woman feel beautiful, even women of her age. She had them at the palm of her hands.
Just when Mrs. Tang had finished reading the letter and was about to put it back into the box, Tang Enlai walked in from the inner house with his second brother and his wife.
Also, Zhang Xiulan who had just returned from work came in from outside.
As they met face to face at the hallway where their mother could see them from where she was sitting, they heard her calling for their attention.
Tang Enlai briefly glanced at Zhang Xiaoling before turning to walk into the living room with his brother and his wife without saying a word to her.
On the other hand, Zhang Xiaoling felt a prick in her heart, but tried to endure it by remaining expressionless.
Since she was not in good terms with her mother-in-law, she wasn't sure if she was invited, hence, she stood there and watched their interaction.
As soon as the trio neared her, their eyes automatically went to the box open before her as their eyes quickly scanned the content of the box.
Seeing her sons before her, Mrs. Tang quickly explained to them with a smile. "I got this invitation from a new brand launch some days ago, but it's only now that I'm checking it out."
"I thought you don't like new brands and purchasing anything from them?" Tang Enlai asked as his brother looked on with disinterest.
What concerned them withy makeup or female beauty products? Their mother was really something else.
"I still don't have much faith in them. Although I prefer to purchase things from well-known brands that has been in the business for long, but this particular one has given me joy. The owner is smart enough and knows how to draw attention to her brand." Mrs. Tang explained to him.
"So, let me guess, an invite was sent to you, and you are going?" Her second son asked as he slipped his hands inside his pockets.
"Why not." Saying up to here, her eyes glanced at the trio before shooting past them to see Zhang Xiaoling standing at the corner withy her gaze on them.
As soon as their gazes jammed, she immediately retracted them and fixed them on her second daughters-in-law saying, "The brand opening is in 2 days. You will go with me."
"Really?" The young woman asked as her eyes widened in happiness.
Hearing his mother make that announcement, Tang Enlai tilted his head to the side a little, and quickly glanced at Zhang Xiaoling from his peripheral view to see her facial expression.
At that same moment, she strode away without holding back.
A soft sigh escaped from his lips and he retracted his gaze.
He really hated this situation. His mother trying to hurt her by doing things like this just so she could see it.
That was a petty act he disagreed with.
