Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

Chapter 88 A Bet

Zhang Xiaoling wretched her guts out before she was helped out of the room. Zhang Mingyu's unconscious body, was carried out of the room.

"Ma'am, maybe you shouldn't have brought them here." Secretary Cha said as she watched the siblings being helped out of the room.

"No, they will have to get used to it. This is the foundation that will support them in the future, they should know about it," Shi Wenqian said with her gaze at the entrance.

*****************

Zhang Liling was still trying to wrap her hands around what Mr. Fang said to her in the study. Because of hunger, her mind has been clouded and unable to think about any other thing other than food.

"I kissed Mr. Fang last night?"

Zhang Liling was lost in thought as she rubbed her lips lightly with her finger. She was trying to depict the feeling when one's lips touches hers, while trying to picture the incident from last night.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remaining that scene. And that was her regret.

She was thinking of his big her guts has gotten that she could even dare to kiss him while drunk. But she regretted that she couldn't remember anything regarding the kiss, and the feeling that came with it.

She didn't even want to think about his facial expression because obviously, he would have been so shocked that he would push her aside.

Also, he must have been so angry that he called Butler Gu to carry her out.

"I kissed Mr. Fang and he still let me stay here..."

Zhang Liling began to wonder how lucky she was to still be able to stay at his place. Is the ice beginning to melt slowly?

Giving herself a thumbs up for her audacity, she continued to wallow in thoughts.

She was still trying to understand what Mr. Fang meant by his words after she owned up to her feelings.

He said something about not dating his student, so does that mean that she could get a chance after she graduates?

Right at that thought, Zhang Liling was brought back to reality from the ringing sound of her phone. She quickly picked it up and glanced at it.

The screen showed that Tungmei was the one calling, so she answered it immediately.

"Liling, are you still alive after all that drinking last night?" Tungmei asked as soon as Zhang Liling swiped to the 'answer' button.

"You knew I drank so much and you are just checking up on me now? What a good friend." Zhang Liling said with a lot of grievances.

Considering how she suffered after waking up in the morning, she was looking for who to put the blame on.

Tungmei figured out the grievance in her tone and chuckled softly.

"It's not my fault that your kept drinking like there was no tomorrow. I couldn't stop you since you wanted to release stress. I figured that you would have nice sleep after drinking."

"More like I woke up with a banging head and had to work my ass out." Zhang Liling grumbled as the memories of her day played out.

'Huh?' Tungmei was confused.

"Your house was clean, and I definitely made sure not to leave your house in a mess. What did you clean?"

Zhang Liling realised that she had spoken more than she should and waved the topic away. "Forget it, you wouldn't understand."

"I can see that you are doing very fine now. See you in school tomorrow," Tungmei said happily.

"You did very well by calling at the right time when i have gotten through the aftermath of drinking. See you in school tomorrow."

There was a tinge of blame in her tone.

"Liling, don't be angry. I will treat you to a cup of hot choco-milk if you come to school early tomorrow morning."

This was a bet from Tungmei who didn't like to be late for her classes.

If Zhang Liling could come to school early before classes starts, she would have that time to get her a healthy drink in the morning.

"You don't expect that I would come to school on time do you? Don't worry, since I have to make you spend your money on me, I will arrive early." Zhang Liling said and ended the call.

Tungmei smiled to herself before putting her phone down.

AT THE ZHANG FAMILY...

Two cars pulled over in front of the building.

Shi Wenqian stepped out of the first car to glance at the second car. When she didn't sense any movement, she sighed to herself and walked ahead.

They would come out when they were done being angry.

Inside the second car, Zhang Mingyu and Zhang Xiaoling were left alone. None, saying anything to each other.

They both looked like they didn't have any plans of stepping out from the car, at least, not with that dark scrawl on their faces.

They were still furious about what happens back at the abandoned villa they were taken to. The worst part of it all, was that Shi Wenqian was unapologetic about her actions.

She even said to them, "You have 24 hours to report me to the police or forever hold your peace."

Zhang Xiaoling had said to her in gritted teeth, "You are doing all this with so much confidence because you think we can't report you to the police?"

"Yes, because I am your mother. If I'm gone, then everything in the Zhang family would belong to Zhang Liling and her mother, or another family your father would bring in."

Shi Wenqian said and glanced at their angry faces and continued, "Or maybe because I am confident that you don't have any evidence to proof that I'm related to that organisation."

Shi Wenqian had a good number of options to be able to exude that kind of confidence at that time.

Remembering that boldness she spoke with, Zhang Xiaoling almost crushed her freshly done nails.

"Are...are we going to...to let her get away with this?" Zhang Mingyu asked with a shaky voice.

A half-dead human being was dissected in front of him, and his organ taken, and he was supposed to continue acting like nothing happened?

"What do you plan to do? Rat her out? You better curb your foolishness. Your thinking is supposed to have had a huge advancement by now." Zhang Xiaoling said to him.

Zhang Mingyu's facial expression slowly changed from fright to anger.

"Are you saying that I should continue to live in fear and pretend as if nothing happened today? How am I supposed to forget what I saw?"

"Do you have a choice? Anyway, you brought this upon us. Why am I even speaking to you?" Zhang Xiaoling said and got off the car.

She was so pissed at everybody. Immediately she stepped foot into the house, she went straight to her bedroom and locked it.

Only then did she feel relieved and slid down the floor as tears welled up in her eyes.
