That little brat was trying to expose her secret, how could Shi Wenqian give her some space to do that?
Just now, she almost had a heart attack.
Being cut off by her stepmother who was probably about to piss in her pants, Zhang Liling smiled to herself and took a few slices of bread.
"I think someone is having a hard time." She said before biting into the slice of bread after spreading some of the kidney beans on it. "For healthy kidneys and heart."
On the other hand, Zhang Mingyu was uncomfortable with his illness being mentioned. He was not like his mother that was trying her best to keep her acts together.
He was nervous.
If his father finds out at this point that he had an illness that could take his life if the tiniest mistake occurred, will he seize from making him his successor?
Zhang Mingyu was worried but now, he was sure of the reason Zhang Liling had visited this time. She was here to make trouble and give everyone a hard time.
Zhang Renshu who was sitting at the head table, wiped his lips with the table napkin before facing her.
"Tell me, why have you come back this time?" He inquired while staring at her.
Seeing that the man was willing to pay attention to Zhang Liling, Shi Wenqian immediately tried to stop the conversation from happening because she didn't know what her stepdaughter was up to.
It would be better to stop the conversation from happening even if that brat might not have anything up her fingers, than for it to lead to danger.
"Renshu, I don't think you have pay her any heed. Don't waste you breath on her, she must be out to anger us this early morning. I heard you have a meeting..."
"Why are you in a hurry to send my father away, guilty?" Zhang Liling interrupted as her expression changed.
Putting her slice of bread down, she fixed a straight stubborn gaze at the woman trying to turn the tides around.
She was not happy at all.
"Liling, did I offend you in any way? Are you stirring up trouble because of the shares Dad gave to me?" Zhang Mingyu interjected, deciding to get involved in a bid to stop her from messing around.
"Yes, you did offend me, but I'm not doing this because of that. I am not that petty. Just relax for a bit more and at the end, you will the k me for setting the records straight."
Turning to her father who looked like he didn't have time to waste on her tantrums, she persuaded him.
"Dad, I think you should spare me at least 5 minutes of your time because I have something important to say. Yes, of course, it's going to anger us all, but it will also save us from eternal damnation."
From the side, Shi Wenqian snorted while trying to hide her fears. "Is there ever a time you have something important to say apart from venting your frustration on us when things doesn't go your way?"
'This little brat! What is she up to? Does she know something? No, that can't be!' Seeing how insistent Zhang Liling was, Shi Wenqian was shaken.
"Today, I have something important to say, and ease stop cutting me off. You only need to sit there and listen and only speak when the time is right but as for now, I will be speaking to my father, and you are permitted to listen." Shutting her up for good, Liling rolled her eyes before shifting her gaze to her father.
'Shi Wenqian, you think there is a way to turn the hands of the clock around today? Hahaha... I already feel sorry for you.'
"Dad, to the best of my knowledge you don't have any bleeding disorder, but I don't know if it runs in your lineage, so I'm very curious to find out."
"What bleeding disorder?" Zhang Renshu frowned as Shi Wenqian's heart froze in her chest. "There is nothing like that in my family. Why do you ask about it?"
Hearing her father's response, a smile returned to her face at last. "What about you, stepmother? Is there something like that in your family?"
As soon as that question was directed at her, Shi Wenqian made up her mind. Trying to hide her anger and her nervousness, she pretended to be annoyed.
"Yes, what about it?"
'Zhang Liling, you think you can play games with me? Unfortunately when I started, you haven't been born yet.' She sneered.
Hearing her response, Zhang Liling went into a feet of laughter as she couldn't believe her ears.
This woman dared to lie after discovering that she was going to expose her secret? What a shame!
Smiling to herself, she revealed as she shifted her attention to her father. "Dad, did you know that Mingyu has a bleeding disorder? Any time he gets injured, even the slightest grazing to his skin, he would bleed nonstop unless he is taken to the hospital. Back then when I came to live here, Shi Wenqian would always force me to donate blood to Mingyu every time he gets injured and hospitalized, but I bet you didn't know seeing how surprised you are."
Listening to her expose her secret, Shi Wenqian shut her eyes and clenched her fists. Zhang Mingyu seemed a little lost while waiting for his father's verdict.
Hearing what she had to say, Zhang Renshu's brows furrowed.
"Is that true?" He asked as he turned his gaze to the woman sitting at his right.
No response.
Seeing that she wasn't going to answer him, he could already understand what was going on.
"Mingyu, is what Liling saying the truth? Look at me and answer my question!" He demanded as anger filled his heart.
At his father's thundering voice, Zhang Mingyu lifted his head. Stealing a glance at his mother who didn't bother to look his way, he replied, "Yes."
Immediately, Zhang Renshu rose to his feet and pushed back his chair. Pointing at Shi Wenqian, he scolded, "How dare you hide something so serious like this for so many years?!"
Zhang Liling smiled to herself and used this little opportunity to continue with her breakfast. Revealing top notch secrets like this on an empty stomach was not easy.
She needed to have her feel before throwing out the grenade. Or maybe, she could just throw out the main bomb and let the police deliver the grenade.
Yes! She would do just that.
