Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 228

Tangning thought Huo Jingjing wouldn't pick up the phone. But she unexpectedly picked up...

"It's Tangning," afraid that Huo Jingjing would hang up, Tangning immediately revealed her identity.

"I know," Huo Jingjing's voice was a little raspy. It was obvious she had been crying. However, her voice also contained a sense of stubbornness; it seemed she hadn't fallen into complete despair.

"The scandal..."

"Everything they said in the scandal is true," Huo Jingjing appeared to have finally found someone to chat to as she continued Tangning's sentence. "The infamous international supermodel, Huo Jingjing is taking care of a gambler at home. On top of that, she has had an abortion three times and is often beaten."

"He and I met when we were 17 years old and we started dating when we were 18. At that time, I never dreamed of being a supermodel. However, I wasn't financially well-off. So, when my parents were in need of money, he suggested I become a model. He even did all he could to help me find resources."

"We were happy in our first few years. Tangning...we were even happier than you and Mo Ting. However, with the temptations of this industry ever increasing, he eventually couldn't keep it in his pants and slept with another model."

"Yet, I was so cheap I couldn't let him go. The problem was, after his mistress passed away, he even concluded that I was the one behind it. Since that day, he hasn't looked me in the eye once..."

"I can't even remember how many years it's been..."

"I kept the promise I originally made to him and have been leaving half my pay at home. However, I know he's simply been gambling it all away. He also drinks often, and once he's drunk, he would hit me..."

"There have been plenty of days when I've thought of ending my life. I thought things would be better; it would all be over. Until I met my current manager, he brought out my potential. As for Hai Rui, they accepted me and trained me..."

"I even thought at one stage, for the rest of my life I would be willing to work like a horse for President Mo. I never thought everything would get exposed one day. It's been hard keeping it a secret for so long."

Tangning listened as Huo Jingjing shared her experience. She could imagine, for a woman at her status to continue sticking to her man, how deep her love for him must be.

"You've already done really well."

"He was the one that exposed the scandal. It was because I refused to give him money. I can't believe he sold the information to Star King..."

Tangning cursed inside.

He was no less than Han Yufan.

"Now that I've gotten everything off my chest, I feel a lot better."

Tangning didn't understand why Huo Jingjing trusted her so much. Perhaps it was because they had both been through difficulties that they felt like they could relate to each other.

"I will officially announce that I am quitting Hai Rui. I don't want to implicate my friends and family, especially you. I know it wasn't easy for you to get to where you are today. But right now, there are too many rumors about me...I..."

"Jingjing, since Hai Rui is your home, you have even more reason not to leave it!" Tangning tried to stop Huo Jingjing. "I believe you've already seen enough of this life. Perhaps you are tired and annoyed by it. However, listen to me, if I can meet Mo Ting, you can also find someone that is genuine towards you."

"Just hang in there..."

"Just hang in there a little longer!"

Huo Jingjing did not respond. She simply gave a bitter laugh as she hung up the phone.

Tangning put down her phone. Just thinking about Huo Jingjing's situation made her tremble in fear; the entertainment industry made her fearful and the unpredictable human mind filled her with panic.

As Mo Ting came out of the study room after finishing his conference, he saw Tangning's pale expression. He reached out his arms to support her trembling body and realized her hands were icy cold. He immediately carried her over to the bed, "What's wrong?"

Tangning clutched Mo Ting's arm in a daze, "The person that betrayed Huo Jinjing was the man she had loved for many years."
