"Did I say something?" Tangning asked casually.
"Let me tell you, you wench, I will find evidence to make you pay for what you have said today," Hua Wenfeng's eyes were red. From the looks of it, she was fairly angered. But, of course, this further aroused Tangning's suspicion. If she didn't have something to hide, why did she have such a big reaction?
"I will wait for your evidence."
Hua Wenfeng glared at Tangning. She then turned her gaze towards the study room upstairs, "I, Hua Wenfeng, gave birth to this unfilial son for nothing!"
"My husband does not have such cruel and unscrupulous parents," Tangning lifted her chin, powerfully suppressing Hua Wenfeng's words.
Father Mo scoffed and dragged Hua Wenfeng out of the villa. Afterwards, Tangning took a deep breath and sat down on the sofa.
Bai Lihua immediately walked over to offer her support, "Are you OK?"
Tangning gently nodded her head.
Afterwards, the two women heard Mo Ting's voice coming from upstairs as he appeared in the doorway of the study room, "Auntie Bai, these four bodyguards will be guarding the front door from now on. You can be in charge of them. If someone wants to barge in, they will block their way."
"Yes, Mr Mo."
After giving his instructions, Mo Ting walked downstairs and pulled Tangning into his embrace, "Have you satisfied your anger yet?"
Tangning leaned into Mo Ting's chest quietly and listened to the sound of his heartbeat, "In this entire world, you are perhaps the only person that would allow me to bully their parents."
"Xiao Ning, it's because someone was testing their limits first. You were simply protecting yourself. You did nothing wrong," Bai Lihua said from behind the couple. "This world has always been one where the weak are bullied and the strong are feared. If you keep tolerating her, she won't stop until she gets what she wants."
"Your words are my words," Mo Ting said simply to Tangning, "And your actions are my actions."
"You..." Tangning smiled helplessly, "If I was to kill someone, you would probably bury the dead body for me."
"I won't allow anyone to bully you."
This was something Mo Ting had stuck by since the day they got married.
Tangning lifted her head and looked into Mo Ting's dazzling eyes. His pupils were like a sea of stars; so bright and sparkly, yet difficult to look away from.
"I'm a lot better now. You can go back to work. I have a few things I want to talk to Auntie Bai about," Tangning gently nudged Mo Ting's chest.
Mo Ting placed a kiss on Tangning's lips and covered her with a blanket. He then gestured for the bodyguards to watch over the front door, leaving the two women with plenty of privacy.
After Mo Ting left, Tangning looked at Bai Lihua and asked, "Auntie Bai, have you also experienced something unfair?"
Hearing this, Bai Lihua immediately thought of the couple that had just left, "It's old history that's not worth mentioning."
"Have you considered taking revenge?"
"I've thought about it for many years. But, I had to take care of Xiao Xing," Bai Lihua answered honestly.
"OK. When you want to share your story with someone, you can tell me."
"Xiao Ning, I have a request," Bai Lihua took the opportunity to make a request. "When I miss Xiao Xing, could you allow her into Hyatt Regency?"
