Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

Zhang Liling's gaze darted around as soon as she stepped foot into her father's private work space.

"Dad, don't you get bored with this dull furnishings and designs? Do you work well here?"

Going over to his chair, Zhang Renshu sat down and picked up his reading glasses.

Putting it over his eyes, his gaze followed her sight before answering, "What is wrong with it? This is not your first time coming into my study, why are you only bringing up this topic now?"

Zhang Liling turned around and answered while walking towards his desk.

"I have to bring it up now because I want the best for you now that we are in good terms,"

Sitting across from him, she flashed him a smile and continued.

"You can work better if there is not much colour in here. Three main colours are enough."

"Do you think I have the time for all of that?" Zhang Renshu retorted as his brows creased into a deep frown.

When did he ever mention to her about him needing more workload?

He had plenty of work to do in his company for the election he wanted to partake in, in 2 years.

There was no time to fuss about redecorating his study room. It can be like that.

After all, he has been managing it like that for so many years.

His response, was what Zhang Liling wanted, and immediately, she shipped herself in front of him.

"You don't need to handle it yourself when I am here."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Renshu raised a questioning brow while staring at her intently.

What was she up to?

"As long as you release the funds for your study transformation plus my payment, I will take care of the job and give you the perfect result."

Zhang Liling replied with the perfect smile hanging at the corner of her lips.

She looked very harmless while fluttering her lashes at her father.

The first thing that came to Zhang Renshu's mind at her suggestion, was ridiculous.

"Are you trying to make money off me?" he asked, his eyes narrowing down at her.

To that question, Zhang Liling replied without reservation.

"Why not? I am the only one you cut off financially. Why wouldn't I find a way to fend for myself?"

This was her reason for bringing up the idea to renovatE his study, and she was so shameless as to admit it in front of him.

Probably because she knew his response wouldn't be harsh. Unfortunately, Zhang Renshu was not in the mood to pamper her.

"You are also the only without a job. Maybe when you start trying to make a living for yourself, I will add you to my financial responsibility. For now, you can go to that Fang boy and ask him to take care if you."

Snorting, he turned his gaze away from her and pulled open his drawer before taking out a handful of papers.

Putting them on his desk, he ignored her and went on to start work.

Zhang Liling was not moved by his indifference, as she knew that he was still angry with her.

It was very obvious from the bitterness laced in his tone, but she didn't care. She came here for something, and she would get it before leaving.

"Dad, do you really not mind if I ask the Fang Bingwen yo take care of my financial needs when j have you?"

Immediately, Zhang Renshu raised his head to meet her gaze head-on, as anger flashed past his eyes.

"So you still know that I am your father? You dare to acknowledge me now because of money?"

Zhang Renshu felt his pride hurt but refused to admit it.

She was going to ask the Fang Family for help? She could as well announce to them that he was dead.

"Dad, why are you getting worked up? I only made a simple comment. Also, did I ever deny that you are my father? On my graduation day, didn't I acknowledge you wholeheartedly in public?"

Zhang Liling was truly going to dig around to proof that she never denied him once evem they had a heated argument.

After much said and done, Zhang Renshu discovered that he could not win that sharp-tongued girl in a battle of words and caved in.

"Have you always been this brave?" He asked while thinking to himself, 'I must have been blind to think you were meek and quiet.'

If he wasn't quite sure for himself, he would have denied that the young lady in front of him, was the same person in the past.

Since when did she start to meet his argument head-on?

Some minutes later, Zhang Renshu asked after finally agreeing for her to do a makeover in his study, "What is your budget for the makeover looking like?"

"I will get back to you on that, but here is a suggestion. Make it limitless."

Zhang Renshu's eyes flew wide open. "Make it limitless? Are you trying to buy everything you see in all the stores in S city?"

"No. I have to check with a company to know the cost of things before getting back to you. But if you are that trusting of me, there is no need to wait for my budget when you can as well leave the cheque book open." Zhang Liling replied while giving him a smile.

She had already told him that he was going to make money off him, so she had no reasons to trick him.

The reason she was asking for a limitless budget was because she didn't know the price range for the cost of refurnishing and redecorating his study.

Well, if he didn't agree with what she said just now, he could wait for her to confirm the prizes from an interior designer and get back to him.

Fortunately, Zhang Renshu did not remain stubborn.

"When will you start work?" he asked.

"Whenever you are ready to vacate your office," Zhang Liling replied in a triumphant smile.

At last, she got what she wanted.
