"I'm sure you know that your mother is quite superstitious. The fortune teller once told her that she had to change her surname to avoid bad luck, so she changed it," Father Mo replied casually without any trace of doubt towards his wife's words.
"I remember she never liked actors, but it wasn't to the extent of complete hatred..."
"It took you so many years to get married. So, over time, your mother was worried that it was due to your work in the entertainment industry. This worry slowly turned into hate..."
"Then, why is her hatred specifically directed towards actors?" Mo Ting once again pointed out the main issue as he continued to question his father.
Father Mo froze for a moment. In the end, he finally caught the deeper meaning to Mo Ting's words. So, he looked at Mo Ting suspiciously, "Mo Ting, why are you asking me these questions today?"
"It's nothing. I just want to understand mom better and relieve the tension between her and Tangning."
Hearing this, Father Mo did not completely believe him, but his suspicions also dissipated.
"Does one need a reason to hate something?"
Of course not!
But, this was no random coincidence, because Mo Ting now realized that there were some things that perhaps even his father didn't know.
"I came today for no other reason but to request that you keep an eye on your wife. Otherwise, when I finally make a move, I will not take anyone into consideration!"
Hearing this, Father Mo was finally angered as he pointed at Mo Ting and growled, "Is this how you treat your parents?"
Mo Ting did not respond. He simply looked deep into his father's eyes...perhaps feeling a slight sense of pity.
Afterwards, Mo Ting returned home. However, Tangning noticed the time that Mo Ting returned, so she stood up from the sofa and asked, "Mr. Mo you are late by 20 minutes today."
Mo Ting wrapped his arm around Tangning and hugged her tightly, "Don't ask me any questions. Just give me some time."
"I won't ask," Tangning replied decisively. "Even if you didn't try to convince me, I still wouldn't have asked."
The couple already understood each other, so Tangning could roughly guess what Mo Ting had been secretly doing.
"By the way, Jingjing invited me to her birthday celebration."
"Do you want to go?" Mo Ting released Tangning from his embrace, led her over to the sofa and helped her tidy the script that was lying around.
"Of course," Tangning replied.
Within the industry, she didn't have many friends. When she eliminated those that had turned on her like Song Yanshu, how many people were left that she could talk honestly to?
"I'll make arrangements...let me know the time."
"7pm, 2 nights from now."
...
Late at night, inside a black and white villa.
Chen Xingyan lay in bed, tossing and turning in restlessness. She had not given An Zihao a proper answer yet. Should she become a signed stunt double under his management?
If she was to get signed, she would gain a lot more opportunities and never have to worry about not getting any jobs again. But, at the same time, she would lose her freedom and no longer be able to cause trouble like she used to.
"Should I sign or not?"
Just as Chen Xingyan was in the middle of a dilemma, she suddenly heard the sound of her front door opening. As she walked downstairs, she saw her mother appear in the doorway with her luggage. She immediately walked over to her, "Mom, where did you go?"
The old woman put down the luggage and looked at Chen Xingyan depressingly, "Xiao Xing, mom has something to say to you."
