Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

Hearing the impatience in her tone, Zhang Xiaoling who was far back patient with her, let out a small sigh.

Her annoyance was well understood. Without wasting time, she went straight to reveal the reason she had to push this urgent call ahead.

"I want to trade information with you. Tell me all you know about my mother and I will tell you what you never knew about her."

"Do you think your proposal is appetizing enough for me to have a deal with you? Try again later."

Did she look like a child that will believe her just like that? If she was desperate, she should be the first to spill any useful information she has about her mother in order to get an exchange from her.

After all, Shi Wenqian was her mother. There was no impossibility if she was helping her mother behind the scenes by trying to sound her out.

She was no fool.

Right as Zhang Liling was about to end the call, she heard Zhang Xiaoling's desperate voice.

"Wait!"

"Do you have a better deal now?"

"I just wanted you to know something about me." Zhang Xiaoling said with her watchful gaze at the door. Lowering her tone, she continued.

"If Mingyu does not have any biological relationship with me, I will punish my mother myself. She is not simply a wicked stepmother, her identity is beyond that."

"Why would I believe you for wanting to punish your mother because Zhang Mingyu may not even be your brother? That is not enough reason." Zhang Liling said, trying to probe for something more solid to hold unto.

If she were to be in Zhang Xiaoling's shoes, she would never punish her mother because of such reasons. It just didn't make sense.

After all, they both joined hands to bully her so what if her mother told a great lie to her father just to get a foothold in the Zhang family, she (Zhang Xiaoling) should not be angry as the lies also brought her a perfect identify.

Why would she go on to punish the woman that made luxury possible for her when she was also not a saint. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Zhang Liling needed a valid reason to trust her.

Understanding the thoughts that might be going forth in her head, Zhang Xiaoling's lashes fluttered close.

"Zhang Liling, haven't you noticed that the relationship between my mother and I is no longer the way it used to be?"

Without waiting for her to land, Zhang Liling cut her off immediately. "Why should I notice? Do I look like I'm jobless?"

As she was being increasingly rude, Zhang Xiaoling boiled inside.

It wasn't just possible to hold a proper conversation with that girl without her getting on your nerves. Her mouth was made just so she could use to cut on people with her words.

Curling her fingers into a fist by her side, Zhang Xiaoling's eyes shot open as she questioned in gritted teeth.

"Why are you making this conversation difficult for both of us?"

"That's the way I speak to my enemies when they beg me for some of my time on such an important day!" Zhang Liling retorted while fiddling with her nails.

She had this 'I don't care' attitude.

It seemed like her main aim was to irritate the hell out of the stepsister that used to bully her a few years back.

"Fine. Sleep with this hint. When you return from your honeymoon, you should be ready to have a chat with someone trying to take everything that belongs to you at a quicker pace."

Zhang Xiaoling was also too annoyed to try to convince her to have a good conversation with her. The girl was far too stubborn and saucy to give her a chance for that.

As for Zhang Liling, she felt more pleased with the conversation coming to an end because she had stopped hearing the sound of shower from the bathroom about two minutes ago.

She couldn't let Mr. Fang catch her on that call. Also, her mood must remain intact for good things to go down this night.

"You are smart and for that, I do wish you a lovely night at your end."

Saying that, she directly ended the call and put her phone aside without a care.

At the other side, Zhang Xiaoling was still trying to understand if the call had disconnected on its own if Zhang Liling was the one that terminated it when Tang Enlai walked into the room from the bathroom in his sleeping robe.

Seeing him, she immediately brought her phone away from her ear.

"You were on a call?" He asked as he walked toward his side of the bed to lay down.

"Oh... Yes. I was speaking to Zhang Liling just now." She said as she rose to her feet.

Choosing to not pay attention to her phone conversation with others, Tang Enlai faced her. "I prepared a bath for you. Go, before the water gets cold."

"Thank you," Zhang Xiaoling said with a small smile.

Placing her phone on the bed, she walked away.

As soon as she left the room, Tang Enlai glanced at her phone. 'Of course I believe you.'

When Fang Bingwen entered the room, Zhang Liling was already lying in bed with the duvet covering more than half of her body.

Seeing him in a pyjamas set, a slight frown appeared on her face.

"Honey, why are you wearing a pyjamas?"

Hearing her, he walked toward the bedside to pick up his phone before joining in her in bed.

"Did you want me to come in naked? Are you not wearing clothes yourself?" f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

As he didn't know the reason she suddenly had complaints about his nightwear, he just had to say what he had in mind, but Zhang Liling had a different thought.

"That's not the case! You should have worn a robe like me so it will be easy to take off later."

'So that was her problem?'

Fang Bingwen wasn't even shocked. As far as it was Zhang Liling, anything was possible with her.

Right from time, he has not seen any woman as eager as her to get intimate with a man. The best part about her, was that she never pretends.

She was that confident and daring.

That was who the woman he married was.
