Tangning was stunned for a moment before suddenly answering in a gentle tone, "Because we have just finished some work together."
The girl smiled, jumped in front of Mo Ting and handed her notebook to him, "In that case, can President Mo please give me an autograph? This is a rare opportunity."
Mo Ting looked at the young girl and glanced at Tangning. Tangning shrugged:
Mo Ting's eyes swept over Tangning as he grabbed the black pen from the girl. After he signed his name he said to Tangning, "Can we go now?"
Tangning smiled. Being more cautious than before, she put on her sunglasses and face mask before boarding the plane.
"Since we've returned to China, let's attend the SuperQueenAwards Ceremony as a guest."
SuperQueen was a ranking of the highest earning models in the past year. Huo Jingjing's name was at the top of the list. However, with her current state, if she was to go alone, it would be much too worrying. So...Mo Ting arranged for Tangning to attend as well. Not only because he wanted her to see the difference between herself and the top 3 ranked models, but also so she could cheer on Huo Jingjing.
On that day, he was going to make a move. He was going to utilize the SuperQueen Awards Ceremony to officially announce his role as Tangning's manager. By doing this, he would elevate Tangning's status to an all-time high.
"I'll let you decide," Tangning completely trusted Mo Ting as she responded in a tired voice. Mo Ting wrapped his arm around Tangning and placed a kiss on her forehead. At this moment in his mind, he didn't want to think of anything else. He simply wanted to give the best things to her.
Because of Huo Jingjing's popularity, the media placed all their focus on Hai Rui's upcoming press conference. Not many people noticed Tangning and Mo Ting were already on their way back to China.
During her entire journey home, Tangning continuously heard similar conversations, "Stop saying Huo Jingjing is pitiful. Who knows...maybe she is an even bigger gambler, it's just she is good at concealing it."
"I never expected a supermodel's life would be such a mess."
"She's even had 3 abortions! She probably can't have kids anymore."
"Definitely, how disgusting..."
After hearing these words, Tangning suddenly scoffed. She thought about all the times she had become other people's topics of discussion around the dinner table. All of a sudden she discovered, the most depressing thing was, all these people thought they knew everything, but they had no idea the suffering and helplessness that was happening behind closed doors.
Who said celebrities were the most liked..?
In reality, celebrities had the most enemies...
While sitting in the company van, Tangning suddenly held onto Mo Ting's arm; only when Mo Ting was around, did she feel rest assured. Mo Ting placed Tangning's head on his lap and gently stroked her ink black hair with his warm hands, "I'll wake you up when we arrive home."
"No, Ting. You should deal with the problem at Hai Rui."
"A matter like this doesn't require me to step in," Mo Ting replied in a cold tone. The small tricks played by Star King didn't hold any weight in his eyes, "Fang Yu can handle it."
"In that case, I want to see Huo Jingjing. Between us women, we need to have a bit of heart to heart."
Mo Ting did not refuse. He simply asked Lu Che to retrieve a not so flashy car from their garage and escorted Tangning to Huo Jingjing's home.
However, Huo Jingjing's home was surrounded by reporters. Huo Jingjing had no way of leaving her home and Tangning had no way of getting in. So, Tangning gave Huo Jingjing a phone call. Not long after, the carefully disguised Huo Jingjing snuck out through a secret exit and boarded Tangning's car. Lu Che drove the two women to a peaceful spot by the sea.
Huo Jingjing had a scarf wrapped around her face the entire time. Even when there were no people around, she still did not remove it. Tangning seemed to have guessed something was wrong. She directly pulled the scarf off Huo Jingjing's face and discovered her face was covered in wounds and bruises.
"Did you get hit again?"
