Chapter 276 Lies From Jealousy

Ever since Zhang Liling and Mr. Fang were spotted together at the Black L'Intense launch, their relationship has been questioned on the internet.

The possible relationship between the two of them became the talk of the town.

p Zhang Liling had been away from the public's eyes for a little over a year, and because there was no reporter at Old Lady Fang's birthday party, they didn't find out on time about her return.

It was only during the recent event that they all noticed her return.

While some were wondering where she had been all this while, others were contemplating the kind of relationship she had with Fang Bingwen.

Also, a few pictures of her greeting the Fang family members at their table showed up.

A particular picture caught her smiling at them as they smiled back at her, and this happened when she was exchanging pleasantries with them.

Everyone had their guesses, but they couldn't be sure, hence, they started to look for answers.

Soon, someone identified that Zhang Liling was Mr. Fang's student at NYU, and she was one of his best graduating students.

*******

'Why would Mr. Fang give special attention to her of all the students in his class?'

'Why do I feel that there is something more to their relationship?'

'Yeah, I think so too... Look at the reception the Fang Family gave to her.'

'Wait, something is definitely going on between them. Someone said they spotted her at Old lady Fang's birthday party a few weeks ago.'

'What?? We are really missing a lot on this juicy content!'

*******

The conversation on the internet did not just end like that, as more people immediately joined on the topic.

And the worst part of it all was that they kept tagging their friends to join the conversation.

In less than an hour, the topic of Zhang Liling and Mr. Fang's possible relationship became a hot topic on the internet.

~At the Tang Mansion~

Zhang Xiaoling was currently on the hot topic involving her stepsister and the man she had an eyes for, on the internet.

The more she watched the pictures and saw the comments of the netizens, the angrier she became.

Within a few seconds, her fingers propped on the table were already clenched in a fist.

Her entire face was contoured in a frown as the corners of her lips drew downwards.

Her brows were furrowed as her breathing labored heavily.

With the speed at which her chest was rising and falling if not controlled, her heart could come busting out of its compartment.

Unable to ensure the stuff hurting her eyes and feelings, she hurriedly reached for the laptop screen and immediately shut it close.

It was very likely that she didn't care if the screen shattered, or the upper part of the laptop broke in half when she slammed it shut.

Probably, she didn't even care as she could afford it, or because she didn't mind as venting her anger should come first.

Zhang Xiaoling was so angry that she was almost digging her sharp artificial red nails into her palms as her teeth gritted angrily.

If one was close, it wouldn't be different to hear the shattering of her teeth.

The woman remained sitting on her chair seething in rage as different thoughts clouded her mind. Only if Zhang Liling was close, maybe she could have had the opportunity of venting her anger, but that was not possible.

Although she was older than Zhang Liling, and she was very furious at the moment, it was likely that she would still be defeated at the very end because the tigress whose older profession was a troublemaker, would not let her off without a fight.

At the least, the number of times Zhang Liling had fought in her life after being provoked and she won, was far greater than the number of times she lost.

Out of twenty fights, she had lost only once.

That's a lot of fights Mr. Fang would be shocked when he learns of them.

Ring...ring...ring...

Suddenly, an incoming call came up on the phone lying next to the laptop on the desk, immediately calling for Zhang Xiaoling's attention.

Instinctively, her eyes glanced at the screen to see the caller ID as she shot lasers through them.

She seems ready to finish off whoever was on the other end, especially if it was her mother but fortunately, it was someone else.

In order to answer the call and sound a bit normal, she had had to calm herself down by taking in and releasing deep breaths still, her heart was in pain.

Regardless, she went on to pick up her phone and immediately slid her finger across the screen.

Placing her phone on her ear, she forced a smile, but before she could say anything, the female voice belonging to one of her closest friends, reached her ears, immediately interrupting the words that had reached the tip of her tongue.

Listening for only a few seconds, she was almost unable to keep up appearances.

"I don't think that's an important matter you have to kill yourself over."

The person on the other end replied in an urgent tone, forcing black lines to appear on her forehead as she shut her eyes.

Gripping the edge of the table, she pushed the phone away from her ears and released a few breaths before placing the phone back on her ear.

"I didn't want to reveal this secret, but being my friend, I think I owe you this explanation. I don't want you to be deceived by what is being said on the internet."

Forcing the smile back on her face, she stammered a little, pretending as if she was in a difficult situation for a bit before speaking up smoothly at the end.

"I am very sure that she is Fang Bingwen's mistress."

"What?!" Her friend screamed in utter shock.

"Yes, it's true. Haven't you wondered where she had been for the past year? Everyone searched for her and tried to reach her, but we were forced to give up after she told us off." Zhang Xiaoling lord ever so blatantly.
