"You must think that you have it all as you are finally able to get married to the man my daughter first had her eyes on." Shi Wenqian said with a smile that was not a smile.
Remembering that Fang Bingwen was the man Zhang Xiaoling had wanted to marry from the beginning but was rejected by Zhang Renshu, she felt anger swell in her chest.
Clenching her fists, she let Zhang to see her unhappy facial expression.
"What? Zhang Xiaoling liked my man?" Zhang Liling asked as she rose to her feet immediately.
She looked so surprised that still, she didn't forget to claim rights to Fang Bingwen by addressing her as her man.
The reaction from Zhang Liling was unexpected. Watching her stepdaughter jump to her feet the second she heard that revelation, Shi Wenqian couldn't believe her eyes.
Why did she look like she was ready to have a fight with her daughter?
This was not the reaction she was hoping for.
"Your man? The only reason you have so much confidence, was it not because I let you smoothly continue your relationship with Fang Bingwen?" Shi Wenqian said.
Her words were very plain to understand.
For real, Shi Wenqian would have tried every possible means to stop Zhang Liling from marrying Fang Bingwen even if Zhang Renshu did not let Zhang Xiaoling to marry him at that time.
If her daughter couldn't marry the man she wanted, then other people's daughter couldn't either.
But when she understood Zhang Renshu was going to cut ties off Zhang Liling for going against him, she decided to calm down thinking that her stepdaughter was going to get punished.
But look what keeping cool caused.
Not only did Zhang Liling not go down, she also went ahead to start a successful brand and now, she was married to that one man.
Hearing her, Zhang Liling calmed down a bit as she no longer looked like she was going to get into a fight.
What did she just here?
"Did you think you could have stopped me from getting married to any man of my choice?" She retorted as her gaze narrowed down at her.
Just what did Shi Wenqian think she could do?
Her confidence was getting out of hand and needed to be stopped.
Unknown to them, someone had appeared outside the door, but as the person was going to knock, she heard the conversation between them and decided to stand there and listen.
"Hahaha..." Shi Wenqian chuckled heartily as her level of confidence increased.
"I stopped your mother, what makes you think I didn't think about you?" She questioned.
"What did you just say?" Zhang Liling asked angrily as she stepped in real close to hit Shi Wenqian, but her secretary quickly stepped in to stop her by putting herself between them, but she had underestimated Zhang Liling's anger and strength.
Just as Zhang Liling saw the woman that came to block her from seeing the face of her enemy, she stretched out her hand and without warning, pushed her out of her sight, causing her to let out a yelp.
"Did you just lay your hands on my person?"
Seeing her housekeeper almost lose her balance due to her stepdaughter's manhandling, Shi Wenqian got furious.
"Yes, and what can you do about it?" Zhang Liling asked while putting her hands on her waist.
Zhang Liling didn't even care if she was going to be happy to angry with her actions. She didn't care about her feelings as she stood her ground.
"You two came here looking for trouble and since everyone knows you are my enemy, thru would surely believe whatever I say even if I beat you two to death without even having to check the CCTV cameras here."
Being reminded that there were CCTV camera in the room, the fire in Shi Wenqian's eyes died as her secretary came to stand beside her.
With this new found knowledge, she knew she couldn't get physical with her, and also she would have to control her facial expression just in case anything would happen later.
At least no matter what, she had to be the one to appear scene in the camera while Zhang Liling maintained the image of the a hysterical bride.
Knowing what to do now, Shi Wenqian quickly retorted.
"I know what your problem is. You can't seem to bear that I have the power to do what I want just like how I strategically caused your mother's marriage to fail."
Smiling to herself, she folded her arms below her belly and walked around the room with her gaze on her as her secretary watched on just in case Zhang Liling would try to attack her given how much she fuming now.
"As soon as I first laid my eyes on Zhang Renshu, I knew I must get him hence, I began to strategize in this little mind of mine. Well, you can't blame me for not knowing he was engaged and ready to be married.
I saw a man I liked and wanted to marry him. Falling in love can happen easily which was similar to my case."
Letting out a small chuckle that annoyed Zhang Liling greatly, she continued.
"I wanted Zhang Renshu so what did I do? I had to approach him like a helpless woman. Who knew he would be that naive to give me a job to be his housekeeper after a few tries of getting close to him just because I stole his briefcase that contained so many important documents without his knowledge, and then returned it like a good Samaritan.
Hahaha... He really fell for my trick. And when I learned he frequented that restaurant I saw him earlier in, I knew I had my chance to get closer to him..."
After learning of how she could see Zhang Renshu again, she decided to use that opportunity and that was how she got him to give him a job and foolishly, Zhang Renshu brought the young woman into his home.
As someone that had done him a great favour, he felt like he owed her and hearing her made-up pitiful story, he had no choice but to help.
