After hearing Master Ni's words, Yang Xi's body stiffened. Although she was the woman that had been around him the longest, she couldn't change the fact that she was merely a mistress.
Most importantly, apart from entering the entertainment industry and being an actress, there was no other way she could experience freedom.
Her freedom was forever lost!
After all, she already knew too much...
"But, if you manage to beat Tangning, then you have saved my pride. When that time comes, you can have whatever you want. Of course, you can't go overboard with your request..." Master Ni gently patted Yang Xi on the cheek and stood up, leaving Yang Xi all alone on the sofa as she held back her emotions.
Even an animal would go crazy under these torturous circ.u.mstances, let alone a woman made from flesh and blood.
So, when faced with Tangning, apart from the fact that she was competing with her for the Fei Tian Award, there was another thing that Yang Xi despised even more. She hated that a husband like Mo Ting existed. How could there be a relations.h.i.+p that was as solid and stable as the one between Mo Ting and Tangning? Why did the entire world have to be against her? Most importantly, Tangning had everything...she even had a child. And Mo Ting was determined to protect both of them. She, on the other hand...
Yang Xi looked down and rubbed her stomach. This stomach of hers had housed three different lives in the past. But, because Master Ni didn't want to upset his son, he had forced her to have three abortions. As a result, she could no longer be a mother.
Since Tangning already had everything, couldn't she lose just a little?
In reality, Yang Xi wasn't the only benefactor in this entire incident. Seeing Hai Rui being surrounded and seeing Mo Ting and Tangning being scolded, Ye Lan wasn't any less satisfied than Yang Xi.
For example, at this very moment, she was sitting on the sofa with her laptop in hand, chewing down on an apple as she burst into laughter. It had been a long time since she was this happy...
She felt complete satisfaction!
Xu Qingyan was dressed in a white set of home clothes as she walked downstairs. As she noticed Ye Lan laughing, her lips also curved upwards, "Why don't you share the good news?"
Seeing Xu Qingyan sit down opposite her, Ye Lan glared at her, "Tangning's over. Have you not heard?"
"I remember someone once said confidently that Tangning was definitely going to win the Fei Tian Award. But, from what I heard, her name is about to be removed from the nominations list."
"As soon as Tangning is destroyed, the Tang Family won't have time to worry about you. On top of that, it seems the old man will be returning to his island soon. Xu Qingyan, your good days will be over soon."
"Then, let me reward you with an extra piece of good news. Grandfather has decided to leave tomorrow afternoon," Xu Qingyan replied without a care...
"I know you're trying to act like you are unfazed. Don't worry, I will ask your father to be gentle on you. After all, if you become paralyzed...that's pus.h.i.+ng things a bit too far." After speaking, Ye Lan stood up with her laptop. As she left the living room, she happily hummed a melody.
Xu Qingyan shook her head, "Tomorrow, when grandfather leaves, the two of you will also be leaving..."
Elder Xu had been standing behind a column near the doorway of the living room the entire time. After Ye Lan left, he stepped out and cleared his throat.
"Grandfather, you're back."
"Tomorrow, make that wench and animal disappear from my sight. Kick them out, once and for all!"
"Yes, grandfather," Xu Qingyan nodded.
"You have suffered over the years, little one. From now on, even when grandfather isn't by your side, you need to stay strong," Elder Xu said with extreme guilt. After all, Xu Qingyan had suffered years of domestic violence and torture, yet, she was his granddaughter.
"Grandfather, don't worry," Xu Qingyan nodded confidently.
