As a courtesy to her business partner and due to the good impression that she had towards the young lady, Tangning agreed to meet in person.
Knowing that Tangning's ident.i.ty made it inconvenient for her to travel, Xu Qingyan offered to meet Tangning at her home.
After all, the Xu Household wasn't a place that Tangning could visit. If the mistress was home and saw Tangning, she would go crazy.
After careful thought, Tangning did not feel like she should be cautious of Xu Qingyan. Plus, she did not want her pregnancy to be revealed just yet, so staying at home was indeed the best option. As a result, she agreed to Xu Qingyan's suggestion.
"Ting...why do you think Xu Qingyan wants to see me?" Tangning expressed her confusion after she hung up the phone.
"Lu Che has already looked into it. She is a genuine person," Mo Ting covered Tangning with a blanket and allowed her to comfortably fall into his embrace.
Tangning understood what Mo Ting meant. Xu Qingyan was someone she could try to befriend; it wouldn't be much of an issue.
"OK hubby, I understand."
Not long after Mo Ting left, Xu Qingyan appeared at Hyatt Regency. Although she had previously tried to imagine Tangning and Mo Ting's home, seeing it in real life still made her sigh in admiration. They lived in such a big villa, but it did not feel cold and unwelcoming. It was clear to see how much effort the couple put into their home.
This was Xu Qingyan's second time meeting Tangning. She did not look as elegantly mysterious as she did on the first night that they met. She simply looked like a warm and gentle housewife. Yet, she still looked extraordinary...
"I hope I'm not bothering you," Xu Qingyan smiled apologetically.
"Miss Xu, please sit down," Tangning smiled.
"You must be surprised as to why I suddenly wanted to see you," Xu Qingyan walked over to Tangning and sat down on the sofa. "Actually, it's not much. I simply wanted to tell you that the person that was previously standing in your way for the first round of votes, was Ye Lan..."
"You..."
"She is my stepmother," Xu Qingyan waved her hand awkwardly.
Tangning was a little dumbfounded, but she quickly remembered Ye Lan's age. If she was right, Ye Lan was a little bit younger than Xu Qingyan.
"I specifically came to show my grat.i.tude. If I didn't tell you about this matter, I may not ever get a good night's sleep. It's been a long time since I've seen the mistress fuming with rage," Xu Qingyan relaxed and added, "You don't need to be cautious of me. I simply came to thank you."
"I'm not from the same industry as you, so I don't have any ulterior motives."
Tangning had actually figured long ago that Xu Qingyan wasn't a calculative person. It was obvious that her happiness was genuine. Perhaps it was because she had found someone with the same enemy.
"What's wrong with your hip?" Tangning had noticed, from the moment that Xu Qingyan sat down, she had been ma.s.saging her hip area. From the looks of it, she was in quite a bit of discomfort.
"I'm fine," Xu Qingyan smiled. She, of course, couldn't tell Tangning about the cause of her injury. "Eek, I feel a little awkward. I looked for you so anxiously just to tell you about something so insignificant. You must be busy."
Tangning watched as Xu Qingyan laughed at herself and shook her head, "As you know, I've already retreated from filming, so I haven't been that busy."
"In that case..."
"Actually, I didn't come today with no motive whatsoever. I was hoping my words would be able to warn you to be cautious of Ye Lan."
"Are you worried about me?" Tangning asked in an amused manner.
"No...No...I know how capable you are. I simply have one request. If the sl*t falls into your hands, please don't show her any mercy."
Hearing this, Tangning burst out laughing. Xu Qingyan was indeed how Mo Ting had described: she was a genuine person.
