Late at night, inside the luxurious palace-like Tang family home.
After Tang Xuan entered the living room, the old housekeeper approached her holding a gift box, "Big Miss, this is a gift from Hai Rui for the chairman, but the chairman is currently staying at the West Mountain Residence, so I think you should take a look at it..."
Tang Xuan brushed back her seaweed-like hair and rolled her eyes, "Leave it with me."
"OK," the old housekeeper handed over the box and turned to leave. But, Tang Xuan suddenly stopped him, "Uncle Wu, don't let grandfather know about this. He's already old and shouldn't be troubled over something like this."
"Uncle Wu understands," the old housekeeper replied with respect as he retreated from the room.
Tang Xuan held onto the white gift box and noticed the 'M&N' logo on top. She then untied the ribbon holding together and lifted the lid. Inside was a photo of Tangning and Mo Ting. Tang Xuan's eyes widened in shock as it darkened.
This was merely a gift, so Mo Ting simply placed a photo of the couple accompanied with a few other expensive little items inside the box. It wasn't an invite - it was simply a notification.
So, the message that Tang Xuan got was that the couple were 'prepared' to get married.
Was the Mo Family actually willing to accept a model into their family?
Tang Xuan threw aside the box and decided to confirm if her suspicions were correct. But, as the daughter of a high-class socialite family, she never came in contact with people in entertainment. So she thought, perhaps she could speak to Chi Xinyan?
Tang Xuan got her housekeeper to look for Chi Xinyan's phone number and immediately gave her a phone call. As Chi Xinyan picked up the phone, she was filled with curiosity. The last time she visited the Tang family home, she could obviously sense that Tang Xuan didn't like her.
"Miss Chi, would any of your friends in the entertainment industry be able to confirm if Tangning and the CEO of Hai Rui are planning to get married?"
"Getting married?" Chi Xinyan was a little taken aback, "How's that possible? Just a few months ago Mo Ting was supposed to marry me, how could he possibly marry a model?"
"He was supposed to marry you? What do you mean by that?"
Since Chi Xinyan was questioned, she obviously couldn't say that Mo Ting had randomly picked her from a list, so her response was half true half false. In the end, one thing was clear, Mo Ting was supposed to marry her; they had already arranged a time and had already arrived at the Civil Affairs Office. However, the rest of the story was that she had changed her mind because she wasn't ready, so they decided to postpone the wedding.
"Since he is your man, you better watch over him. How could an heiress allow a model to steal her man?"
"If she suits Mo Ting's taste, there's nothing I can do about it," Chi Xinyan would never be able to put down her pride to go begging for Mo Ting's return. After all, she had already been humiliated by him at the Chanel event.
"Since there's nothing you can do about it, then from now on, keep your nose out of it." After speaking, Tang Xuan hung up the phone angrily.
Does Tangning know about Mo Ting and Chi Xinyan's relationship?
This...relationship...
With this thought, Tang Xuan quickly gave her assistant a phone call, "Help me do something important."
"Yes, President Tang!"
"Tangning wants to get married to the President of Hai Rui, Mo Ting. Help me leak some information that Chi Xinyan and Mo Ting are lovers and are one step away from getting married."
The assistant was a little surprised and couldn't quite understand her motive, "President Tang, why do we need to prevent Tangning from getting married?"
"If she marries into the Mo Family, she would have a shield around her. If that happens, it would be too easy for her to return to the Tang Family."
"I understand, I will handle this matter well," the assistant replied respectfully.
But...they were already husband and wife!
