10pm. The rain was pouring.
Tangning's emotions had been stabilized within Mo Ting's embrace and the couple hugged each other to sleep cheek-to-cheek.
"I've already asked Coque to postpone tonight's shoot. Get some rest."
Tangning buried herself into Mo Ting's embrace, pressing her head against his chest, "No need. I'm just going to have a half hour nap and then I'm going to go for the shoot."
"OK. If you want to have a nap, I'll hug you and keep you warm. If you want to go do some filming, I'll accompany you," Mo Ting did not force Tangning to rest, he simply fulfilled her every request. Because after listening to the conversation between Tangning and Elder Tang, he got the idea that Tangning had experienced a childhood of pain and suffering.
The Tang Family's obstacles, Elder Tang's controlling nature and her own guilt and discomfort...
...just the thought of all these made Mo Ting's heart ache.
So, 1 hour later, filming commenced...
...
Late into the night, after Elder Tang returned to the Tang Family home, his assistant immediately called for a doctor, attracting the attention of everyone in the family.
Tang Xuan paced back and forth anxiously until Elder Tang's condition was stabilized. She then asked the assistant, "Where did grandfather go? Why did his illness suddenly get triggered?"
"Errr..." the assistant was put in a difficult position.
"What is there that you can't say? Grandfather is already in this condition..." Tang Xuan had an extremely anxious expression on her face.
"The chairman went to meet with Miss Tangning," the assistant replied honestly.
After hearing this, Tang Xuan was a little surprised, "Did you say grandfather went to look for Tangning? Grandfather vowed he'd never see Tangning again..."
"She is his granddaughter after all, how could he possibly not see her again? Chairman simply said it out of anger!"
Tang Xuan handed the medicine and water to the assistant and turned to return to her room. She had already endured so much, but why wasn't Tangning keeping her distance from the Tang Family?
She was well aware that deep in Elder Tang's heart, his top choice for a successor had always been Tangning. Unfortunately, Tangning was the daughter of a mistress. So, everyone had the right except for her.
"Grandfather...you've left me with no choice," Tang Xuan clenched her fists. Inside, she subconsciously wanted Tangning to distance herself from the Tang Family; just a little further and a little further more...
...
"Scene 182, Act 3, action!"
This was a scene between Tangning and the athlete. Regarding the child's upbringing, the athlete wanted nothing to do with it.
Upon the muddy post-rain road, Tangning carried her child weakly towards the athlete. But, when he saw her, not only did he deny knowing her, he even refused to acknowledge his child.
In front of the cameras, Tangning carried her child as a scornful smile appeared on her face. She looked at the back of the athlete and exclaimed, "My child is a genius. You will regret not accepting him one day."
"Crazy woman! I'm an athlete. I can't have a child. I still need to win awards and become number one!"
Tangning looked at the man that disappeared without looking back. After struggling a little, she ended up collapsing on the floor...
"He really is a genius."
Under the empty night sky, all that could be heard was Tangning mumbling to herself...
"Pass..." Coque stood up and exclaimed. After being in Beijing for quite some time, he had picked up a few useful words and phrases. This time, as he called out, it did not seem awkward at all.
After filming was complete, Mo Ting approached Tangning before she had completely pulled out of the character, and wrapped her in a jacket, "Mrs. Mo, it's time to snap out of character!"
"Two more scenes to go and filming will be complete!" Tangning sighed, "I suddenly feel like I'll miss it."
