Right in the car as different thoughts were going through his head, the ringing sound from his phone went off, instantly jolting him back to reality.
Picking up his phone, he saw the name calling and felt fear chill his bones. "Mum," he muttered under his breath.
Watching the phone ring, he hesitated a bit before sliding his finger across the screen.
As soon as the call connected, he heard her loud voice. "Where are you?!"
Without waiting for his response, she commanded him to come back home immediately. "Make sure you come back home within the next twenty minutes!"
The next moment, Zhang Mingyu who was still afraid, tried to hide his fidgeting his fingers before driving off.
At this point, he was more scared of his mother than before because of what she had just done.
A woman capable of murder without batting an eye, what more could he expect?
Back at the Zhang Villa, Zhang Liling had already heard about that happened to Mikayla from Fang Bingwen who sent someone to check on her and was almost losing her mind.
"Why don't I just take a knife and stab her to deaths and end this madness once and for all?" Zhang Liling asked over the phone as she scattered her hair with her left hand.
"That would be an easy death, and you will get into trouble. I don't want anything to happen to you, so just stay there for the night and come back to me in the morning." Fang Bingwen said while trying to calm her down.
He could already feel how angry and worked up she was with what just happened, and it has become very clear to him that not even a second should be wasted before Shi Wenqian would be shown her rightful place.
"Liling, don't do anything out of anger. If you still feel very angry, I will come and get you tonight. Please try to stay calm. With the news blowing up, that Ong family wouldn't sit at a place."
Of course, the Ong family would never allow their faces to be slapped in such a disrespectful and open manner. They would want to call off the wedding.
Understanding this fact, Zhang Liling instantly calmed down. "I will go downstairs and see what is happening. My father is back and the whole house in a mess."
"Alright, go ahead. Call me if there is anything. I have met with your father's lawyer and the conversation went down considerably well. The official divorce documents will be ready tomorrow." Mr. Fang revealed.
Since he had promised to do this, he went out of his comfort zone to make sure that their plans were proceeding smoothly and quickly.
It really was not easy to convince Zhang Renshu's lawyer to do something outside of the law. It took a lot of time, brain and patience to get him to ride in the same boat.
"Honey, I will call you at night when I'm sure that everyone has gone to sleep." Zhang Liling said before ending the call.
Slipping her phone inside the trouser of her pants pocket, she left her room and quickly walked down the stairs to see both adults on different calls while walking to and from in the large sitting area.
"Take everything down this moment! I don't care how much I have to pay. Yes! Mingyu will release a statement soon!" Shi Wenqian said over the phone while raising her voice.
The woman who frequented the spa on a daily now looked like she had aged ten years down the line.
On the other hand, Zhang Renshu was speaking with Mr. Ong over the phone, and from the conversation Zhang Liling could hear, it was very obvious that the other party was very furious and asking to call of the wedding.
"Chairman Ong, we can't just call off the wedding because of some rumours and manipulated evidences." Zhang Renshu stated with a hand over his face.
The man could barely keep himself sane with the crazy news about his son that also threatened his career circulating on the internet.
"What rumor? What fabricated evidences? Renshu, I have known you for a while, so you can't fool me!" Mr. Ong raked angrily while slamming his palm on the table in his living room.
Sitting in the same space was his furious wife with their annoyed daughter asking him to call off the wedding.
They could not be bothered with such explanation from the other side as they were very ashamed with their names being dragged in the mud.
"Chairman Ong, things are not like that. You know we have so many enemies, and I'm sure all of them are looking for how to sabotage this wedding because of the great march between our two families!"
Zhang Renshu refused to give up and tried to redeem himself and his family from the mess because from what he could see, the Ong family looked like they were going to call off the wedding.
He couldn't allow all of these efforts he has put into their relationship to come to nothing. What about the money and the publicity for the wedding?
This will be a great shame and embarrassment to the family if the wedding should be cancelled.
While Zhang Renshu was still trying to speak to Mr. Ong, Zhang Mingyu returned home and slowly made his way to the living room where he saw Liling standing there and listen to their father continue to speak with someone over the phone.
Seeing his father, all shred of confidence to try to confront his mother about what happened to Mikayla disappeared from his thoughts.
If not that he was trying to stay sane, he would have fallen to the ground because seeing his father just cleared him in the kind of trouble he was in for.
He got someone pregnant a few days to his wedding with the daughter of an influential family, has he gone mad?
Just as he had closed in enough, Zhang Renshu who had seen him, ended the call, and without warning, he walked up to him and slapped him hard on the side of his face.
