Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

~A day later~

Zhang Mingyu's engagement went smoothly to the happiness of Shi Wenqian.

There were a lot of distinguished guests invited for the ceremony, along with the press since someone couldn't wait to show off how big her son's engagement party was as compared with Zhang Liling's wedding.

Of course, her goal was achieved as people couldn't help but talking about the vast difference between Zhang Liling's wedding and Zhang Mingyu's engagement party.

Although Mrs. Ong was unhappy with the comparison, she didn't flare up since the news that has to do with Zhang Liling didn't affect the news of her only child's engagement party.

Zhang Xiaoling and Tang Enlai were also present at the large engagement party.

Watching her mother Interact happily with other people whole leaving her out, she had swirled her champagne glass.

Seeing the big party that was thrown for a fake brother she had always protected since young, Zhang Xiaoling was reminded of the vast difference on their mother's love.

As soon as the engagement party came to an end, the fake smile on Zhang Mingyu's face disappeared as he went into a room upstairs of the hotel to rest.

It was hard trying to keep up appearances for the press and for the crowd that came to his party.

Sitting on the couch, he turned the ring on his finger and scoffed.

The only reason he wasn't making a fuss over getting married forcefully was because there was a huge advantage waiting for him. Once gets some of his father's shares and is promoted, his mother wouldn't have to control him anymore.

Having such thoughts, he decided to have some patience. It's not like he was going to stay married to Ong Emma forever. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

After using her to his advantage, he was going to dump her respectfully as long as she doesn't become a pain in the a**.

On the other hand, Shi Wenqian had plenty of time to face her secretary whom she had sent on a mission after returning to the Zhang family residence.

As soon as she returned home, she asked her to send a bowl of fruit to her bedroom before finding her way to her room to wait.

As she didn't want things to seem suspicious even though she did not care, she had to use that method to get the hosuekeeper to come and report to her.

Stepping into her bedroom, she out down her bag and went to sit on the couch facing her bed with her hand under her jaw as her gaze travelled over her surrounding.

Less than 2 minutes later, a soft knock was heard on the door before it swing open gently.

"Ma'am, you asked for some fruit." Secretary Cha said as she shut the door behind her and came to set the bowl of fruit in front of her.

Watching as she set the bowl in front of her, Shi Wenqian stretched out her legs to her, a silent sign of instructing her to take off her shoes.

Understanding the signal, the woman reached out for he legs to take off the pair of shoes while listening to her.

"What exactly happened in Paris? Do you care to explain?"

Because she had been messaging her to ask for a heads-up, Shi Wenqian cane to find out on the failed mission and was mad. But because this day was her son's engagement party, she knew she had to comport herself and be happy and leave time to deal with other matters.

"I was nearly caught so I had to run away." Secretary Cha replied as she out her shoes aside and stood with her back straight, not daring to meet her Mistress's gaze.

Hearing that she was almost caught, Shi Wenqian's eyes flew open in fear.

"Nearly caught? How did you mess up such a small deal?" She scolded.

She was angry that the plan failed but what was worse, was the possibility of leaving traces behind so she wanted to know the details of what exactly she had done there.

Knowing that things would come to this, Secretary Cha spilled the lies she already had packaged for her in return for the questions she was asking.

At the end of the day, Shi Wenqian was more scared. "The police even came? Hope you did not leave any traces behind?"

Hearing that the police had come to the production factory for Glint's makeup products, fear gripped her heart.

"No ma'am. The only took the lady who was assigned to do the job. She will not be able to point fingers at me since she didn't get the opportunity to see my face." Secretary Cha replied smoothly.

Instantly, the fear in Shi Wenqian's heart seemed to disappear almost at the same time. She seemed a bit relieved, but she was not relaxed either.

"To make sure that things are still fine, stay in the city and do the job you have here. It's a good thing were not caught, but I still won't forgive you for blowing such an important and one-time opportunity up!"

Recovering from the shock and relief of not being caught, she forgot the consequences of what her actions would have been started to scold the hell out of her hosuekeeper.

With the great plans she had prepared to deal with Zhang Liling through her company, she was bound to be angry and not easily forget it. After all, it would take time to find another opportunity as this.

Also, with the police getting involved in Paris, that was a big Red flag to never try something like that again.

Now, she would have to think of another method to take care of that disrespectful little girl.

"Go away first. We will have to focus on Mingyu to make sure this wedding happens within 2 months before taking care of Zhang Liling for good." Shi Wenqian said as she crossed her legs over the other.

Learning of her intentions, Secretary Cha's ears immediately perked up.

"Ma'am, have you thought of how to teach that girl a lesson? We will have to be careful with the Fang family by her side. Also, Fang Bingwen is not to be trifled with."

By choosing her words carefully and putting it like that, Shi Wenqian will not feel like she was questioning or trying to be nosy.

Instead, she would think she was worried about them executing their goal carefully without being caught in the radar by Fang Bingwen.

Understanding the situation that way, a small smile played at the corner of her lips.

"It won't be hard to get rid of that girl. I wouldn't need to interrogate or torture her before killing her slowly."

"What do you mean, Ma'am?" Secretary Cha probed.

Seeing the change in her Mistress's facial expression, the woman knew she was excited and must have come to a final solution.

"I no longer want to waste my time by trying to capture. The new instruction would be to kill her on sight. I could use Zhang Renshu to get her on the road and have the job done.

I won't care of any of the Fang family member will be in the car with her. I just want her out and as for the unfortunate ones that will want to go with her, I don't mind sending them off together."

Nodding her head, she dipped her hand into the bowl to pick up the desert fork that had been stabbed into a piece of watermelon.

Picking it up, she sent it into her mouth and whole chewing on it, she added, "Because I wouldn't want to jinx my son's wedding, I will delay the blood shed till after the wedding. Then, no one would dare come my way."

The sudden death of any member of the Zhang family would bring bad luck for her and her son and that was exactly what Shi Wenqian believed.

Also, the death would delay Zhang Mingyu's wedding and so, the delay in transfer of the company shares to him as the only way for him to get those shares, was for him to marry the person Zhang Renshu appointed as his wife.

Having thought things through a little more deeply, Shi Wenqian did want to make any mistake.

What was wrong with exercising a little patience?

After all, there was a saying that 'The patient dog eats the fattest bone' and she would gladly take it to heart at this point in time.

As soon as Secretary Cha left the room she rushed toward her own room in the servant quarters to make a call.

After several rings, the person she was trying to reach didn't answer, causing her to be frustrated.

Cursing a few words under her breath, she decided to try another means which was to send a text since she had been gone from her post for long.

If she didn't want to arouse suspicion from Shi Wenqian, then she had to be extremely careful.

Just as she was about typing a text to the person she failed to reach, a call came in on her phone.

Immediately, she slid her finger across the screen to answer the call at the first ring without waiting to hear a response from the other end, she spoke first.

"Sir, Mrs. Zhang plans to get rid of Miss Zhang after her son's wedding to Miss Ong."
