Zhang Liling was truly ruthless.
After saying that, she walked away without waiting to hear her response as she was not interested.
Left alone along the hallway, Zhang Xiaoling began to recount the number of times she had seen Zhang Mingyu bleed nonstop when they were younger.
She had always felt it was wrong, but her mother always covered up. Soon, she stopped seeing her brother get injured in front of her and slowly, she totally forgot those incidents.
As she had rightly heard, her mother admitted to Zhang Mingyu having a bleeding disorder, but why did she choose to hide it from her too?
Yes, it was understandable for her to hide it from Zhang Renshu since the man would have probably refused to give her brother any position due to his illness but hiding such a big deal from her?
That was too much.
What was the reason?
Back in the room Zhang Liling had walked away from, Shi Wenqian stood at the same spot staring at the tightly shut doors as her fingers clenched in a fist.
Seething in rage, she said to the woman standing beside her.
"Do you know how to deal with your enemy if you can't get close to them? You touch the things around them."
Saying that, Shi Wenqian finally tilted her head to the side to meet the woman's gaze.
"Since Zhang Liling can not be touched so easily as she had now officially joined the Fang family, it will be easier to touch Glint."
Since Zhang Liling was now under the protection of the Fang family, Shi Wenqian knew it would take a lot of effort to touch her and as she didn't want to waste that kind of time on her, she decided to use another method to touch her.
Understanding what her mistress was talking about, the housekeeper nodded in understanding.
"I will need you to do something for me..."

Zhang Liling who had been angry earlier, immediately put on a smile on her face as soon as she entered her dressing room.
She had almost butter heads with Tungmei who was on her way to look for her.
"With don't have a lot of time before the reception starts, but you can rest and eat beforehand." Tungmei said while walking her into the room.
"If I could wish for a small break, I would like to take a short nap." Zhang Liling said tiredly.
She could remember waking up very early in the morning just to get ready for her special day. She was already tired and needed to relax her nerves.
"If you want a massage, you can get one." Song Jujing said as she walked up to take her hand.
Staring at her face, she saw that she didn't look good.
Frowning slightly, she led her into the large room.
"If you want to sleep a little, you can." There is still half an hour left before the reception starts.
Refusing to tell anyone what had transpired between her and Shi Wenqian, Zhang Liling went to get some rest. She was disturbed knowing that Zhang Mingyu was not actually her father's son so she couldn't sleep.
She could only close her eyes while thinking.
The rest she was getting was as good as useless because her brain was awake, making her more mentally tired.

As the time for the reception approached, Zhang Liling changed into her reception dress and retouched her makeup before stepping into the hall with Fang Bingwen while linking their arms together.
The rest of the wedding ceremony went on smoothly but nobody noticed that the housekeeper of the Zhang family was no longer there.
Amongst other things that made Zhang Liling happy on this day apart from marrying the man of her dreams, was the fact that Jia Li and Fu Hua's faces kept falling in her line of sight.
Although there were not much guests as this was a private wedding strictly arranged for, everything was perfect.
With the event coming to an end, Zhang Liling and Fang Bingwen toasted to their guests before walking up the dance floor.
Trust Fang Bingwen not to move his body much as dancing in front of the crowd was not his thing.
If not for Zhang Liling who did not shy away while trying to lead him on, the dance would have been boring.
A few minutes time, Zhang Liling and Fang Bingwen's wedding ceremony came to and end and together, they started to send off their distinguished guests.
"Thank you Ms. Jia Li." Zhang Liling said with a big smile on her face while embracing Jia Li as she was about to leave with Fu Hua.
"It's nothing. I'm glad to be here to share in your joy. You are now a married woman, congratulations." Jia Li said with a warm smile as she returned the hug.
A few seconds later, both women separated.
"Liling, I will see you at FJ's show soon. Enjoy your honeymoon and take care of your new family now, including yourself."
"Yes, see you soon. Always look this good Ms. Jia Li." Zhang Liling said and blew her a kiss thereafter.
Waving at each other, Zhang Liling stood there with Fang Bingwen standing beside her and watched Jia Li and Fu Hua walk away.
"I love them." Zhang Liling couldn't help admitting while leaning her head on Mr. Fang's shoulder.
"And I know that you love me more." Fang Bingwen said while giving her the side glance.
Hearing his husky voice in her ear, Zhang Liling giggled to herself.
"Mr. Fang, tonight, we will be left alone." Flashing him a smile, she separated from him and went away, leaving him to stand there and watch her.
As there were still other guests to greet, Zhang Liling hurried away.
***
~Mr. Fang's Villa~
Walking in through those familiar doors while leaning into the arms of the man who had now become her husband, Zhang Liling let out a groan.
"I am so tired and my whole body is aching."
