Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress

"Does attending the event mean that I knew who the owner was?" Zhang Xiaoling fired back in a low voice.

She was still lying in bed and Tang Enlai had just left for the washroom.

She shouldn't be shouting so early in the morning about some useless matter that didn't even make a bit of sense.

"You have to convince me. This is a huge news. Neither you nor your father who attended the event, said anything to me."

Shi Wenqian refused to believe her that easily. Currently, everything she said was lies to her.

If she wanted her to believe her explanation, then she would have to out some effort, but who knew that Zhang Xiaoling was not in the mood to speak to her.

"Mum, did you see any news or rumour about Zhang Liling being the owner of Glint before yesterday?

Do you think that she would tell me if she was working on something that huge when obviously am her enemy?"

Zhang Xiaoling was letting her know that Zhang Liling had kept her involvement with the brand under wraps since not many people got to know about it as well.

She emphasized that most of her guests, didn't know she was the owner of Glint until the previous day when they attended the launch party, but Shi Wenqian was still in doubt.

"Let's say that you are Zhang Liling's enemy which is the truth, how come she invited you to the launch party and you turned up for it?"

"She didn't send me any invite. I followed my husband to the party he got an invitation for. Mum, I'm still in bed, don't call me for such matters that do not concern me anymore."

Shi Wenqian was still about to question her about keeping the news from her since she had found about it at a latter time, but she had already dropped the call as soon as her last word echoed into her ear.

Still unsatisfied with the conversation with her daughter, Shi Wenqian picked up the news paper and went to the dining room to meet Zhang Renshu.

Seeing him sitting at the head table already eating, she walked to his side and dropped the magazine next to his plate of food on the table.

"Did you know about this?" She questioned immediately, forgetting about their beef.

Instantly, Zhang Renshu glanced at the front cover of the paper Shi h had been squeezed and straightened again without saying anything.

Moving his gaze back to his food, he took a bite of his toasted bread and baked beans.

"Are you not going to answer me?"

Seeing him munching on his food, totally ignoring her in front of the servants and their son, she felt like a fool he disregarded, and flared up.

Zhang Mingyu who was sitting two seats away from his father, tried to steal a glance at the paper his mother had brought, trying to understand the content that made her flare up.

Failing to sight what was written there because of the bowls, plates and glasses laid out on the table, he gave up, but that didn't stop him from paying attention to what was going on.

'What has Dad done this time around?'

Zhang Renshu waited until he had finished chewing the food in his mouth before replying to her.

"Do I have to answer to your questions?"

He didn't think the current stance of their relationship, required him to explain himself.

"Of course you do. This is a family matter and not a private matter. I need a response."

Shi Wenqian was not going to back down until she got an answer from him.

And for that to happen, she had to bring the matter up as a family issue.

This time around, Zhang Renshu answered her, but the response he gaze, wasn't acknowledged.

"What if I knew about it and what if I didn't? You are not her mother and since she didn't meet you, you shouldn't concern yourself with this matter."

Zhang Renshu's response was savage.

He was directly telling her to her face that because Zhang Liling was not her daughter, and she shouldn't put her attention on her matter unless the young lady in question wanted her to be interested.

"Are you joking with me right now? How can you two make a fool out of me and expect me to overlook it? I am still your wife and deserve to know about things like this instead of being kept in the dark!"

Shi Wenqian was not going to tolerate that reply from him and immediately put up a fight.

Pausing with the teacup in his hand, Zhang Renshu tilted his head to the side, to give her the side glance.

"Then do you want a divorce so that you will now have a reason to stay clear of matters that does not concern you?"

Zhang Renshu's words were served on a platter of gold. His savage reply was a great comeback Shi Wenqian and Zhang Mingyu was not expecting to hear.

"What?" She exclaimed in shock as her hands dropped lifelessly at her sides.

Zhang Renshu shifted his gaze back to his food and resumed eating.

Letting the rims of the ceramic teacup touch his lips, he drank some of its content before putting it back on the table.

"Any time you want it, I can always serve you with the divorce papers. But if your trouble gets too much, I might dish the papers immediately."

Picking up another slice of toast and a little butter this time around, he warned, "Stay clear of matters that does not concern you and stop bothering my life."

Shi Wenqian was so out of it that she stood rooted at the same spot.

She felt her knees grow weak, but she couldn't let her self sink into the chair so she clasped the edge of the table with her claws.

'Does he want a divorce so badly?' She thought to herself.

While she was wallowing in fury, she became determined towards the end.

'Even if I'm bedridden, I will never sign any divorce papers. I Shi Wenqian, will die as your wife.'
