The more Tang Enlai listened, the more confused he became hence, he had to take her hands in his. Looking deeply into her eyes, he begged for the full explanation.
Wiping the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, Xiaoling sniffed before going on to reveal everything about her mother, the findings and the plan to take her out, leaving him more shocked than he already was.
There were definitely other revelations that was shocking to the ears, but that may not be able to beat the possibility of one's mother-in-law being a top notch organ trafficker who has been faking her way up the ladder a these while
To top it all, she was involved in a paternity fraud. The wedding with the Ong family will be cancelled, his own Tang family will be dragged into the mess.
It seems like that media will be very busy for a few months.
Unknown to him, Zhang Liling would never want the matter to be blown up for many important reasons.
She had her own personal reasons, otherwise, she would want nothing more than to drag Shi Wenqian's name in the mud because she deserved at least that much.
While Tang Enlai was list in a deep confused devastated thought, Zhang Xiaoling was fighting back throwing up whatever she had in her guts due to apprehension.
The next minute, the owner of the restaurant who saw her acting up again, brought over a cup of hot water again.
Bringing it to their table, she startled them both. Placing the cup in front of her, she said, "You should have asked for more hot water if you were still not feeling better. Drink it up so you won't feel like throwing up again."
Leaving Xiaoling with that message, she sighed and walked away.
"You threw up before I came? Are you that disturbed?" Tang Enlai inquired. And the next second, he felt s little stupid for asking that question since her reaction was not uncalled for.
Letting out a sigh, he gestured for her to drink up the water which she did.
As soon as she dropped the cup, he stopped keeping her waiting regarding his opinion and his stance in the war coming up plus the revelation as he knew she was waiting for his response.

~Paris~
Song Jujing was sitting in her office when someone knocked and walked into her office.
"Ma'am, your application has been approved. This is a letter from the board." The lady said while passing the envelope to her.
"They sure took their time," Song Jujing said in passing. Taking the envelope from her, she inspected the document with a stamp on it. "Finally." She exclaimed.
Lifting her gaze, she said to the young woman before her, "Thank you. You can leave now, I will take care of things on this end."
"Alright, Ma'am." The other woman said before turning to leave.
Just then, the phone on Song Jujing's desk started to ring. Lifting it to her eye level, her brows furrowed.
The number calling her wasn't saved on her phone, so she was reluctant to save it.
'Why do all these numbers keep ringing on my phone, who are they?' She thought to herself. Without a second delay, she declined the call and put her phone down.
As she was attempting to get back to work, her phone started to ring again. This time around, she had to pick it up as she was tired of the incessant calls. It was beginning to get to her.
Placing the phone on her ear, she listened in silence, refusing to say the first word to a stranger she might not know.
Two seconds later, a voice spoke from the other end "Jujing, it's me Alex."
"Which Alex? Am I supposed to know someone in particular with that name?" Song Jujing inquired almost immediately.
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ At the other end of the phone, a deep sigh was let into the phone. "Song Alex, your third brother."
It took almost 5 seconds before she responded after his introduction. "I don't think I have any brothers. The last I remember, I have been my own family for the past 25 years."
Song Jujing was surprised that someone from her ex family would phone her. After a long time, they were calling her. And as for whatever reason it maybe, she was not interested.
Although she had seen this brother of hers recently after so many years, she wasn't moved to form any kind of relationship with him.
"If you don't have anything important to say, I will end this call, and don't bother calling back because I want nothing to do with you lot. My life is very peaceful and blissful today if that is what you want to know."
Seeing that she was going to end the call if he didn't say anything, Song Alex quickly said in a gentle tone,
"I wanted to check on how you're doing. It took me a lot of effort to get your contact details. I didn't dare to approach your daughter for it without your permission, so I had to put in a lot of effort. On that note that I am respectful of your boundaries, please permit me to call again soon."
Listening to his demand after the worthy explanation he gave, Song Jujing had a few questions for him, but she didn't want to give anything away, so she just closed up.
"I'm at work now. It would be wrong to remain on this call while I have a lot of work to do. Do take care." She said before ending the call.
Although she didn't give any response to his answer, her politeness was enough for Song Alex to take note of. With this, he had a chance of getting her on the phone again.
About half an hour later, Song Jujing's phone rang again. Glancing at the caller ID, an instant smile lit up on her face.
"She remembered me today..." She said to herself as she relaxed her back on the backrest of her seat.
Taking a few moments to appreciate that name on her screen she answered the call next.
"Liling, hello!" She greeted.
"Mum, how are you?" Zhang Liling asked from the other end.
