"Why in the first place did you leave your husband?" Zhang Liling asked as she sat on her bed with a serious gaze on her.
Song Jujing scoffed and joined her to sit on her bed. "First of all, we were never married. We were about to before he showed me a bigger sign of what I was going to be expecting after we got married."
"Still, you shouldn't have left him so easily and given them a chance to come together. I mean, how could you let them have peace after what they did to you?" Zhang Liling asked.
She didn't think she would tolerate her fiancé cheating on her with his housekeeper just a few days before their wedding if she were to be in her mother's shoes.
"Do they look peaceful in your eyes?" Song Jujing scoffed and crossed her legs. "Your father still cheats, and poor Shi Wenqian, she must be having a hard time getting rid of all his mistresses."
"Dad is cheating on her? I find it so hard to believe." Zhang Liling said with her mouth agape.
Given her stepmother's tyranny, she didn't think she could swallow having another woman with her husband.
"What's hard to believe? She knows how they ended up together, so him taking up mistresses shouldn't be a hard blow for her." Song Jujing said.
Somehow, Zhang Liling wasn't satisfied with her mother and father's relationship and couldn't help blurting out,
"Seriously mum, don't you know how to reign the ropes of your man a little tighter? You just let him cheat on you and that too continuously. I have learned from your mistakes, and I know better how to hold my man in my clutches."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZhang Liling said with her gaze elsewhere. The picture in her head, was of her and Mr. Fang, having a romantic dinner night with candles.
She has already begun to see Mr. Fang in another light.
Song Jujing didn't notice anything wrong with her daughter and continued, "My advice to you is not to make the mistake of sleeping with any man until you tie the knot with him but before then, take your time getting to know each other, and don't ignore any red lights no matter how faint it appears."
Zhang Lilijg chuckled, "Don't worry, not every man is like yours, and mine, it's perfect."
Song Jujing heard her say that and paused with the next piece of advice she was going to give her. "Wait a minute, do you have a boyfriend?"
Zhang Liling discovered that she let her tongue wag and regretted it. She hid her nervousness with a smile and said, "I'm not dating anyone."
"Good." Song Jujing sighed in relief. "You are coming back to Paris after your graduation ceremony, so dating anyone here will be pointless. And don't tell your dad about it."
If it was before, Zhang Liling would have been happy that she wouldn't have to be maltreated by her stepmother and stepsister, but she had one solid goal now, and that was to get Mr. Fang.
With that thought waxing strong in her head, Zhang Liling rejects going back to Paris.
"Mum, what if I don't want a life in Paris anymore? What if I want to stay here?"
"If you want to stay in this city, and this country successfully, get rid of that dangerous woman first. Your dad wants you to be a part of his company, but she sees you as a threat, and she will do anything to take you out of sight."
"I haven't seen anything that makes her dangerous?" Zhang Liling said.
She felt the maltreatment she has gotten so far, wasn't enough to tag Shi Wenqian as dangerous.
"Wait until you are being chopped into pieces and your vital organs removed and sold." Son Jujing said ang got off her bed.
"Wait…. What?" Zhang Liling looked utterly confused and shocked at the same time.
"Your stepmother is that dangerous, don't cross her path. And if she finds your trouble, you can intelligently deal with it. You won't be here for long anyway."
Zhang Liling couldn't place her hand on the story relating to her stepmother, and her mother wouldn't tell her more. If her stepmother was a murderer and sold body parts, why hasn't she been exposed yet?
"Mum, lend me some money." Zhang Liling said after some moments.
Whatever or whoever her stepmother was, shouldn't bother her that much since didn't plan on living with them forever.
She couldn't be distracted by this new update, and miss her chance to be with Mr. Fang.
"What do you need the money for?" Song Jujing asked curiously.
"I need to rent a safe house."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSong Jujing stared at her for a few moments before agreeing, "Okay."
In Zhang Liling's mind, she has passed the second step.
During dinner, Zhang Renshu kept on trying to communicate with Song Jujing who was giving him the cold shoulder, while Shi Wenqian who couldn't stand his attitude, kept glaring daggers at him.
Zhang Xiaoling was uncomfortable, while Zhang Liling was lost in thought.
"I don't see your son here, where is he? Did he get into trouble?" Song Jujing asked with an interesting gaze fixed on Shi Wenqian.
Shi Wenqian scoffed, "Of course not, the next patriarch of this family and successor of the Zhang Group is very busy whilst working tirelessly for the future of the entire family."
"I see…" Song Jujing trailed off with a smirk.
The next morning, Zhang Liling left the house early in the morning without waiting to have breakfast, and Shi Wenqian used that as an opportunity to convince Zhang Renshu about her overworking herself, and Song Jujing accused her of maltreating her.
Zhang Renshu did shut her up but told Song Jujing to ask her daughter not to overwork herself and she ignored them after asking this question,
"In the early days of your Zhang company when you were overworking yourself, how many times did you faint or lose consciousness?"
When Zhang Liling left the house with a big backpack, she first went to a high-end store to get some clothes before going to a beauty parlor to get some touch-ups.
After about 2 hours later, Zhang Liling appeared in front of a high-end building, looking different from her normal college looks.
Her hair was styled differently, and her make-up was light but was enough to make her look more than 21 years. White vintage shirt and a black leather skirt which was obviously expensive. A green pair of nude stilettoes and a matching bag of the same color.
A Light pink-colored lipstick was smeared on her lips, and as she got out of the cab, her aura changed.
