Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress-Chapter 395 Zhang Mingyu’s Engagement
Since the time Zhang Liling and Mr. Fang decided on a date to get married, they have been fully involved with their wedding planning.
As soon as a wedding planner was contacted, their guest list involving 50 people in attendance was made, and Fang Bingwen released the funds.
Going for wine tasting was the best task Zhang Liling enjoyed because she got to try different cocktails.
If Fang Bingwen didn't know her better, he would have thought that drinking was her hubby, but seeing that she only gets to drink on some occasions when she went to eat at a high-end restaurant, he couldn't place her there.
If she was a drunkard, then she would have had a wine cellar at her place, but she did not.
This was one of the things he was grateful for otherwise, if she had that attribute and as he liked her, he would have had to deal with that part of her later.
After confirming everything they wanted for their wedding in order, they sent out their wedding invitations.
On receiving the physical wedding invitation card, JianLi and Fu Hua put a call to them, to congratulate them for taking the highest step to seal their relationship.
Now with their wedding invitation cards given away, Zhang Liling went to try her wedding dress which she got her mother to send to her from Paris to a store there in S city.
On the day she went to try out the dress, Fang Bingwen went with her.
It was really a special day for her, to get her groom to see her in that glorious dress.
Zhang Liling was thankful, and couldn't be any happier. Now, she had to wait for a few days to register their marriage and have their wedding ceremony.
Soon, the news of Zhang Liling and Fang Bingwen's wedding spread on the internet, making the topic become the talk of town.
Somehow, this became an opportunity for Shi Wenqian to hold unto something.
Seeing her step daughter become the talk of town with her booming business, plus her marriage to one of the elite bachelors in town, she couldn't hide her envy.
But not wanting to attract attention to what she was about to do, she channelled her energy into something else they could see with their eyes, and that was by pushing Zhang Mingyu's marriage.
Seeing that Zhang Renshu had not yet done anything concerning meeting the Ong family, she set up a meeting with Mrs. Ong.
She was not about to lose out on anything.
All the glory must not go to Zhang Liling alone. In fact, none should go to her. It was only her children that were meant to shine.
Waking up in the morning, the first thing Shi Wenqian did before stepping out of her room for breakfast, was to call Mrs. Ong.
"Hello, Mrs. Ong. Good morning. Yes, we are all good. How is it over there?"
Exchanging a few pleasantries, she went straight to the point.
"Mrs. Ong, I don't know if you have time today with your husband. It would be nice if we can host you in our house to talk about our children's engagement again."
Pausing for a moment to listen to what the other woman had to say, Shi Wenqian chuckled for a bit.
"I know, but the engagement I'm talking about is different from the one of before. It would be best for our families if we hold a big engagement ceremony, at least our children both deserve some attention."
Mrs. Ong seemed to give a response that put a smile on Shi Wenqian's face for the next moment, she went on with the conversation.
"Exactly. Renshu and I will host you and Mr. Ong to go over the details. It would be best if the preparations will start soon."
Shi Wenqian was happy with Mrs. Ong's compliance to the extent that she couldn't wait to start planning a big engagement party for Zhang Mingyu.
It was not like Zhang Mingyu wasn't engaged already. While Zhang Liling was away in Paris, shortly before she returned, news had spread about his marriage with the last daughter of the Ong family.
And that was after they both were officially introduced to each other.
But Shi Wenqian wanted to make some noise now. It was time she took that baton from Zhang Liling.
The woman had been happy until Mrs. Ong made a comment that provoked the spirit to win.
"I just heard about Zhang Liling's wedding. It would be best to wait till the wedding is over to have that kind of engagement party. I wouldn't want my daughter sharing attention with her on the media."
Mrs. Ong made her stance clear.
She wouldn't want a situation where everyone would be talking about Zhang Liling and her daughter at the same time to the extent that they would both be compared with one another.
Understanding her request, Shi Wenqian quickly agreed even though she was not happy.
She would have loved to drag the media attention from Zhang Liling with this engagement.
But if the ceremony couldn't hold before Zhang Liling's wedding, surely, she could take another measure to get some attention before her wedding.
Concluding the conversation with her, Shi Wenqian dropped her phone.
At least, she had gotten something positive from that conversation and with that, she left for the dining room to join Zhang Renshu band Zhang Mingyu for breakfast, but that was after she declared a secret mission.
"The Ong family are coming for dinner this evening." Shi Wenqian announced as soon as her butts touched the chair.
She didn't even bother greeting the man at the head of the table since they both did not acknowledge each others greeting.
There was no need to pretend to be kind. It was useless.
Hearing the news she just broke, both Zhang Renshu and Zhang Mingyu glanced her way. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com
"What are the Ong family coming here to do?" Zhang Renshu asked as black lines appeared on his face.
"Mrs. Ong was yet to get a feedback from me concerning the children's marriage hence, she phoned me as I got out of bed." Shi Wenqian lied.
"And what did you two talk about?" Zhang Renshu inquired as he turned his full attention on her, keeping his food aside.
"Well, like I said, she was disappointed about the plans for our children to get married being delayed hence, I pacified her in a good way which she liked." Shi Wenqian said and took a bite from the toasted bread in front of her, leaving Zhang Renshu hanging.
Angry with her attitude, Zhang Renshu slammed his palm on the table. "Will that food run away before you finish with your words?"
Flinching a bit, Shi Wenqian stopped herself from rolling her eyes at him.
"You should be a bit calm. It's not like I was ignoring you on purpose, I'm hungry, just like you."
On the other hand, Zhang Mingyu seemed very uneasy with their conversation, but both were too busy with themselves to notice him.
'Who said I want to get married now?'
Zhang Mingyu had almost forgotten about the engagement he had with the daughter of the Ong family.
He had been too busy playing with a girl he met from work to even remember about that matter.
He wasn't done playing yet, so he can't get married, but who would he mention that to?
Sighing to himself, he put down sliced bread in his hand and got up, pushing his seat back in the process which finally attracted some attention to him.
"Where are you going?" Shi Wenqian asked.
"I have to meet up with some friends for some business." Zhang Mingyu replied, leaning slightly towards his seat.
"We are talking about your engagement with the daughter from the Ong family and you are leaving? Does this matter not concern you?" Shi Wenqian scolded while glaring at him.
Could he for once show a bit of serious to this matter.
Who was she doing a this for?
His father was yet to promote him to the vice-chairman position, and give him at least half of his company shares and here he was busy hanging out with friends.
For how long would she continue to do things for him?
Couldn't he try to be a bit ambitious?
Seeing how angry his mother was, Zhang Mingyu had no choice but to sit back down.
Judging from the situation, he knew that this was not one of those times he could have his way hence, he chose to respect himself.
Some second later, Shi Wenqian turned her attention back to Zhang Renshu who was a little distracted by this son of his that had nothing important interesting to him.
"I promised Mrs. Ong that Zhang Mingyu and their daughter would redo the engagement with an actual ring. Also, they would prefer a big party that would attract attention to both families. This would be the best for our families businesses and partnership."
"Why do you go about doing things without my consent?" Zhang Renshu asked.
"You looked like you were not interested in your son's affairs anymore. Anyway, one of us has to pay attention and pacify the Ong family for the neglect. Besides, the Ong family would be the one to foot the bills for the engagement party."
