Mr. Fang's Feisty Mistress-Chapter 259 Catch Up (III)

Since Tungmei started her internship at Zhang corp, she has been sending money back home to her parents who wouldn't let her be.

She already wasn't getting paid enough to live a comfortable life, and they were already squeezing the little one she could save, out of her hands.

"Maybe it's time to set some rules to them." Zhang Liling suggested.

"Every month, you give almost 50% of your earnings to them, leaving 60-65% for your bills which is not right. At this day and age, it is not right to be without savings as anything could happen at any time." She advised with her gaze resting on her face.

"I really have to start hardening my heart. I know that my parents did their best to raise me and pay my school fees, but that doesn't call for this. It's not like I'm undergoing some kind of punishment."

A soft sigh escaped Tungmei's lips. She was tired, but what could she do.

"It's not bad to support family, but using your money to give your brother a comfortable life while you sweat for it, it's not right. You haven't even risen, and they are already dragging you down."

Zhang Liling seemed annoyed with the whole family problems Tungmei was shouldering.

If her money was only used to support her brother's education, they would have been better, but to use her family to get him everything he wanted, was inhumane.

Sometimes, Zhang Liling wished that their lives could be exchanged, so she could teach her family a very big lesson if Tungmei didn't have the kind of heart to do that.

What were friends for? Of course it was for situations like this.

"Liling, I'd rather I enjoyed the rest of my meal. Thoughts about my family is provoking." Tungmei confessed with a slight frown as she poked her steak with the fork.

Realizing that she had ruined a bit part of their meal with an uncomfortable topic, Zhang Liling hurriedly apologized by pouring her some wine.

"Tell me, is there any new relationship on the way?" She probed with a playful smirk playing at the corners of her lips as she hinted at something. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Staring at her, Tungmei erupted in laughter. "Hahahaha..."

"What are you laughing, I asked a question." Zhang Liling said as she poured some wine into her glass before putting the bottle down.

"You are funny. Do I look like I have the time to date? Liling, I do not. I am barely survivng with my job plus the stress from my family."

Waving her thumb finger in front of her, she added, "I can't afford to be in any relationship at the moment. There is no longer space in my head to tolerate another stress."

But Liling did not agree with her.

"You need a little romance to ease the stress accumulated from work and family."

Staring at her with amused expression on her face, Tungmei asked, "And when this romantic relationship starts stressing me, what will I rely on?"

Picking up her wine glass to take a few sips from it, Zhang Liling replied while giving her a side glance.

"Friendship. You can rely on me when that time comes." She said, giving her the idea of their relationship.

It was just a reminder that she didn't have any excuse to not date.of a time came when she was feeling stressed from her Family, work, and boyfriend, she could always come to her to get relieved.

Tungmei laughed over her statement, and was tempted to toy with her by asking 'What if I had a problem with you as well?' but she refrained for doing so.

But as the smile on her face relaxed, she suddenly thought of something as her eyes squinted.

"Liling, this one you are talking about having a boyfriend, do you have one?" She voiced her thoughts without warning.

Instantly, Zhang Liling's lips curved upwards, as the corners of her eyes wrinkled.

Her lips parted slightly, and unable to hide her happiness at the thought of Mr. Fang being her boyfriend, she picked up her wine glass to hide w bit if her joy.

"What made you think so?" She asked, feinging ignorance while at the same time, not denying her thoughts.

'What made me think so? Your expressions and gestures says everything.'

Ignoring her question, Tungmei said with a knowing smile, "Liling, you have a boyfriend?"

At her question, Zhang Liling put down her glass as a smirk spread across her face. Still, she refused to give a response, allowing her to guess the answer herself.

Understanding that she was right with her guess, Tungmei began to pester her for answers.

"Liling, you are really dating?"

"Since when?"

"Who is your boyfriend?"

"Where is he from?"

"Is he handsome?"

"Is he rich?"

"Who else knows about this?"

No matter how many questions cane flooding from her lips, Zhang Liling refused to give an answer, except for two particular question which she felt would divert her attention to another thought.

To the questions, 'Is he rich? Is he handsome ' Zhang Liling replied.

"My boyfriend is rich, and he is so handsome. Don't worry, you will testify to it once I officially introduce you to him."

"And when will that be?" Tungmei asked impatiently as she drummed her palms on the table thrice.

She could tell that her good friend didn't want to divulge any more information concerning the man she was dating, and that only made her insides to cringe.

So since she couldn't get some important information to her man now, she could only ask for the day she would be able to know more about him.

"Calm down, I will tell you soon. Maybe in a few days in the least." Zhang Liling said with a suggestive smile that annoyed Tungmei.

"Damm!" The latter exclaimed as she slammed her palms on the table in annoyance.

Fortunately, the guests that were a little startled that turned their heads in their direction, glanced back to their table a fe moments later.

"I feel like tearing you apart at the moment." Tungmei confessed as she immediately picked up her wine glass and downed the remaining content into her mouth.
