Chapter 425 Gist

"Where should you start from? Are you that confused now?" Zhang Liling chuckled as she joined her.

"Of course I am. This is the first time I'm visiting your house as a married woman. I am a bit nervous apart from how well you are treating me." Tungmei replied as her gaze moved over the delicacies spread on the table.

Before Zhang Liling could respond, she already picked up her spoon to scoop some soup.

"Next time, we will see in the day so I can at least show you the surrounding. Alright, let's eat."

Zhang Liling was about to pick up her spoon to eat when it was snatched away from her.

"Has your husband eaten?" Tungmei inquired with some food in her mouth already.

"I'm with my friend, he will eat upstairs." Liling was about to take the spoon form her, but that was not easy for the determined friend who wanted to taunt her s bit while eating.

"I didn't know a day like today will come where you are not all over Mr. Fang. Is it because of the gist I have for you?"

Knowing how obsessed her friend was with her husband, she knew that something was out of place for her to not show some concern.

Obviously, gossip was more important to her.

"You know."

Taking the opportunity of her distraction, Zhang Liling snatched the spoon back and joined her to eat.

While eating, she couldn't wait and wanted to Tungmei speak but the later reminded her of the probability of choking on her food while listening to the gist and eating at the same time.

At the end, she calmed down.

Some minutes later, they were both ready to open the chapter.

"I think Zhang Mingyu and Mikayla are having a relationship problem although I don't know the genesis."

"It's normal to have problems in relationships. That girl must have been quiet for too long and seeing that things are not that rosy for her, she decided to stop putting up with it. Maybe." Zhang Liling stated.

​ She had never heard that Zhang Mingyu and his girlfriend had a big fight or broke up before which means that the girl in question must be putting up with everything she doesn't like probably because she had all the attention from Zhang Mingyu, added to his influence and money.

"I was thinking they would hang out after work, although I didn't really think about it, but I happened to catch them going off in different vehicles with Mikayla looking like she was tailing him."

"And that boils down to what you found out right?" Zhang Liling probed as her eyes lit up in excitement.

Without the intention of picking on the matter, Tungmei revealed her findings and the scenes she managed to see.

"After work, Zhang Mingyu went to pick up a lady which I later found out to be Emma Ong. From the restaurant where she met with her friends, he took her to the large shopping mall.

I was forced to pick out a few items off the shelf in the make-up section they first headed into."

Right here, Zhang Liling cut her off. "Hope you chose Glint's products?"

It was very important to her that Glint's products will be picked off the shelves by old and new potential customers.

She didn't mind cutting the gist off at that point to find out her answers.

Sensing the importance of her response, Tungmei really wanted to tease her, but stopped at midpoint. "Yeah...yeah!."

Pointing at the bag she got from the shopping mall, she asked, "My dear friend, are you aware that your brand is not cheap?"

"But it's not expensive either." Zhang Liling said as she picked up the small package to open it. Eighty percent of her attention were on it while the rest were on the conversation.

"My dear Liling, it's either something is expensive or cheap."

Not wanting to continue the argument, Zhang Liling lifted her head after taking a look at her products.

"Are we going to keep arguing?"

"You were the one that started first." Tungmei mumbled to herself. Sitting up straight, she continued with her story.

"Mikayla is really crazy. She intentionally bumped into Zhang Mingyu and I think that's where she had the opportunity to whisper something to him.

Later, I saw them secretly meet up at the restroom area. Because of the angle, I couldn't get any closer so I was unable to listen to their conversation.

But when they came out separately, Mikayla had a triumphant smile on her face while rubbing her stomach. As for Zhang Mingyu, he was red with anger as he walked out."

Leaning in toward Zhang Liling who looked to have sank into a deep thought, she asked, "Do you think She is pregnant?"

"I would be really happy if she was pregnant. But we can't conclude by mere speculation. We have to hear her say it or act like it."

Pulling herself back from her thoughts

"We don't need the need any pregnancy report?" Tungmei probed.

Normally, given the kind of goal she had, a hard concrete evidence would be needed to proof anything she was claiming. But it seemed like she had other plans.

"No. As long as Mikayla is truly pregnant, we can use it. But I don't think she would make false claims."

"I still don't get it, why did she choose to do something like this?"Tungmei looked quite surprised that something like this will unfold.

For her, there were different ways to approach that kind of sensitive topic instead of using threats.

But since she didn't hear their conversation clearly apart from when Zhang Mingyu was shouting for her to take something out, she couldn't really conclude that he was threatened.

If Mikayla actually threatened him with her pregnancy, then she was really foolish.

After chatting for a bit, Tungmei got ready to go home, and that was when Fang Bingwen appeared.

Seeing him, she instantly cowered.

To think that the man before her who used to be her professor in college was now her best friend's husband, she was still baffled.

It was a tricky situation for her to handle.

"Hello, Mr. Fang." She greeted with a small bow while trying to hide how awkward it was for her to be in the same space as him.

Sensing her nervousness, Zhang Liling quickly cut in as soon as Fang Bingwen replied.

"Tungmei has done a very good job today. I owe her more than a week worth of lunch to repay her kindness. What do you say?" She asked while moving her brows.

If she was going to spend money, then he had to pay for it.

With the way she was staring at him, it was obvious of what she was asking for.

"That's a good idea. Anything you do, just let me know." Fang Bingwen said with a smile.

Getting his positive response and approval, Zhang Liling took Tungmei's hand and led her outside.

"I will drive you to where you would get a cab."

"I can find my way out of the estate by myself." Tungmei argued as soon as she understood what she was going to do.

For her, it wouldn't be easy walking out from the estate as she had been sitting for close to two hours. A little strolling would not kill her.

Instead, it would be good to make blood flow to her legs properly. A cardio exercise like this was very nice.

But who was Zhang Liling? She was very grateful for the risk her friend took to help her, and it made her want to return the gesture in hundred folds. But as they have been friends for a long time, she knew what and what not to do.

If she overdid the repayment, her relationship with Tungmei could change.

Since she had more money than her, she had to be mindful of the way she flaunted and acted toward her, so she wouldn't feel bad and this she was an errand girl who needed her services.

"I will drop you off. It's no trouble for me since I haven't driven in a long time."

"What!" Immediately Tungmei heard the ending part, she stopped in her steps and refused to be pulled ahead.

"You haven't driven for a long time and you want to renew your memory by driving me?"

Watching how her facial expression changed for the worse, a hearty laughter escaped Liling's throat.

"Why do you look so scared? I'm not going to kill us. I haven't has my revenge yet."

"Even though. You are one crazy person I know that is still existing. What of you change your mind and suddenly want to go to heaven so soon? Liling, you are not going to drive me. I can walk."

Tungmei didn't want to lose her life so soon. She was still young, she hasn't made money and she hasn't dated anyone yet.

There was more to life that she hadn't explore yet.

"Tungmei, don't be scared. Although I haven't driven for a long time, I've still got the touch."

While Zhang Liling was trying to proof herself, Fang Bingwen sent a bodyguard to do the job.

Even he didn't trust her.
