Slightly unhappy with the stunt his mother just pulled, Tang Enlai gave an excuse to leave their presence.
Although he felt a little pity for his wife, he didn't go after her, but continued in the direction he intended to go to before his mother called for him.
Their relationship didn't warrant him to care for her like that.
He didn't even know why he was still married to her since she wasn't making any effort to make their marriage work.
He was tired of going back and forth with her.
No man could tolerate being with a woman that had another man at heart, even if their marriage was arranged for the benefit of their two families.
Tang Enlai didn't know when Zhang Xiaoling's eyes would open to see that he was not a bad person, but he hoped while standing at the sidelines that it would not be too late when that day comes.
If he closes his heart and mind toward her, then nothing would ever make him change his mind.
*******
As soon as Zhang Xiaoling walked into the bedroom fuming in anger, she didn't get to fully express her emotions when a call came in.
Glancing at the screen, she saw the title, 'Mum' on the screen and snorted, clearly showing her annoyance.
Regardless, she still went on to answer it, only for the fire burning in her to be fuelled up.
"Xiaoling, it looks like your father has dropped the matter regarding the marriage plans for your brother. I think you should give him that idea again. You have to help your brother settle down in a good family that will support him in the company just like you have the Tang Family at your back. You have to..."
Shi Wenqian was still talking when Zhang Xiaoling pulled the phone away from her ear as fire burned in her heart.
Without a second thought, she tapped on the red-coloured phone symbol on her screen, directly terminating the call on her mother.
Getting to this level, she threw her phone on the bed and ran her hands through her hair, scattering it at the end.
If it were humanly possible, then smoke would have already started spreading from her nose and ears due to the anger in her.
She was already pissed off with the mistreatments from her mother-in-law who didn't care about her and then, her own mother had to remind her that she brother was more important than her.
Did that woman even care about her?
It seemed that all her life revolved around her brother, Zhang Mingyu.
Couldn't she at least show her some of the affection she gave all to her brother? Maybe it would never be possible in this life.
Outraged by the treatment she had received throughout that day, Zhang Xiaoling shut herself in the room, only stepping out during dinner.
*******
That same day, Zhang Liling took her mother to Glint's private building to give her a tour.
Knowing fully well how vast her mother's knowledge was, she got ready to take down a few pointers from her.
Her mother indeed had a good idea, and that was the reason she was doing well in the fashion world.
Not only that, she had a lot of power and weight. She was indeed very capable.
Patiently taking her time to look around every inch of the walk-in store, Song Jujing pointed at a few things she needed to adjust.
"The launch is around the corner. You can make the changes after that. You already have a lot in your hands."
From the walk-in store, they made their way up the stairs.
"How many percent discount did you give for the first week of your store opening?" Song Jujing asked curiously.
She was very inquisitive about her daughter's business, and she wanted to help her in every way possible.
As she catered to the rich, she knew a lot of things on how to attract the wealthy and socialites, and she wanted to teach her the trick.
There were a lot of things she had to take into consideration if she wanted her brand to stand out.
Surprised that her mother had not thoroughly gone through every information about her brand, Zhang Liling tackled her immediately.
"Mum, you have to pay attention to me. Everything about the promotion is all over on the internet."
"I see... Have you started receiving orders yet?" Song Jujing enquired instead.
"Of course!" Zhang Liling said flipping her hair. Glancing at her mother, she winked at her.
"That's good."
As the mother and daughter took a tour in the entire 2 storey building, they talked about so many important details they very much enjoyed.
Meanwhile, a young lady somewhere was killing herself over the outfit she would wear on Glint's launch.
Immediately 4 pm reached, Shu Rushi picked up her bag and called a few friends to go shopping together at FJ store outlet in the city.
And for over two hours, the young lady in particular was yet to pick a dress she would wear to the event.
"Rushi, you have to pick something. We are already done picking the things we want, except you. Don't forget we still have to go to the jewellery store." One of her female friends reminded.
While browsing though the dresses hung on the wooden stand in the large store for the umpteenth time, Shu Rushi replied without sparing her a glance.
"How many times do I have to remind you that my cousin is coming to this event since he promoted the new brand himself. I have to dress my best if I wish to hold at least a minute long conversation with him."
Shu Rushi had no other request than to be privileged enough to speak with Fang Bingwen for at least a minute. That was her only prayer point.
Although it looked insignificant, it meant so much to her.
Normally, the man would respond only to her greeting and be only his way or even ignore her.
Walking past her without sparing her a glance was the worst feedback she could ever receive, and she was trying to change her story with him.
First of all, she had to put enough attention to the details of the outfit and jewellery she would wear. Not just that, but more importantly, her scent.
She had to smell nice if she even wanted to have the chance to stand at a close range with him.
