"Things aren't going to go the way that you planned," Tangning gave a gentle laugh as she spoke to Gu Heng without a trace of panic or anger. Seeing this, Gu Heng started to feel doubtful of herself.
"Tell me, why are you always so calm, no matter what happens?"
"That's because I know that evil will never prevail," Tangning laughed in ridicule. "At least, in my world, I have yet to come across anyone that's done something bad successfully."
Gu Heng could not see through Tangning, but she knew that Tangning had already seen through her.
When it came to intelligence, she would never beat Tangning; not even in her next life. But, she refused to believe that Tangning could overcome all obstacles. Everyone was bound to have bad luck at some point in their lives.
"I know Qiusheng's actions aren't beneficial to any of us. But, I will still give my all to protect him." After speaking, Gu Heng left and Tangning returned to her room.
It seemed, Gu Heng had not found out that Bai Qiusheng was getting replaced yet.
Tangning wondered: what was the point of challenging her, when in the end, they would be left with nothing?
That night, Long Jie made a phone call to check on the situation, "What happened this time? What's up with the old man? You're such a magnet for gossip; as soon as something can't be explained, you're up there on the hottest searches."
"Someone did all this on purpose..." Tangning explained helplessly before she recapped everything that had happened on set. After hearing the whole story, Long Jie was in an uproar.
"What's wrong with your luck? Since the male lead and supporting actress are a couple, they will definitely try to kick you out of the cast. Why hasn't anyone considered who would benefit after you leave?" Long Jie sighed, "However, I'm already used to seeing you come across obstacles in everything you do. If nothing goes wrong, then you wouldn't be Tangning."
"What has the director said about this issue?"
"They are looking for a replacement," Tangning replied.
"Are they replacing you?"
"They are replacing Bai Qiusheng," Tangning laughed at Long Jie's high pitched response.
"Good..." Long Jie breathed a sigh of relief. "If I wasn't trying to get pregnant, I would be following by your side every day. What kind of assistant did Boss hire for you? She doesn't seem to be handling matters seriously."
"Just focus on getting pregnant. Don't worry about my problems."
"Since nothing is actually wrong, then I'm of course not worried. It's just, continuously hearing rumors about you and Boss getting a divorce, is really firing me up."
Tangning understood that Long Jie truly cared about her, so she let her continue nagging for a while before she finally hung up.
Afterwards, she received a phone call from Mo Ting. The first thing he said as she picked up the phone was, "Who were you talking to for so long? I kept trying to call, but it couldn't get through..."
"Guess," Tangning replied in a cheeky tone.
"Long Man," Mo Ting assumed, "I was only teasing."
"Regarding the rumor, we originally suppressed it, but then Bai Qiusheng stepped out again to say a few words, reigniting the flame."
"I'm prepared for the backlash," Tangning replied calmly. "Hubby...if Bai Qiusheng didn't have bad intentions, I would have enjoyed seeing his relationship with Gu Heng. Gu Heng is the type of woman that is willing to do anything for Bai Qiusheng. I can tell how helpless she must feel."
"I don't enjoy seeing anything, I simply want to destroy those that bully you," Mo Ting replied in seriousness. "Wei An already knows how to handle this matter, so you don't need to do anything. Hai Rui will also deal with everything PR related."
If Bai Qiusheng wanted to cause a stir, they were going to let him do as he liked.
So, when the media interviewed Bai Qiusheng, he directly told them that he wasn't sure why Elder Hei kept picking on Tangning and explained that Tangning was following him around because she wanted to cooperate with him. As for anything else that might be happening, he wasn't sure.
