Over at Hai Rui, the most successful person in recent days was none other than Song Xin.
Her songs were the number one bestsellers, her adapted scripts were a hit, and she was extremely likable on variety shows. It didn't take long before Song Xin's name was all over Beijing. In fact, the music industry named her as a rare genius!
Hai Rui was already in the process of preparing her first EP. They believed, in the near future, her popularity was going to rise to an inestimable level. However, her only flaw was the fact that she wasn't a very interesting topic of discussion.
Sure, she was popular. But, she still did not compare to the deep impression left by Tangning.
So, if she wanted to surpass Tangning, she still had a long way to go.
After the incident with Hua Wenfeng, Tangning remained at home even more than before. Even when there were important events, she completely avoided them to protect the child in her stomach.
She continued to investigate the person who had provoked Hua Wenfeng. But, faced with a person that even Hua Wenfeng couldn't recognize,how was Tangning to find any clues or information?
Meanwhile, over the past couple of days, Mo Ting left the house early and returned late. The couple barely got a chance to see each other; even getting a few words with each other was impossible. Every time Tangning awoke, she wanted to chat with Mo Ting, but every time she saw his tired face, she couldn't bear to disturb him.
Seeing this, Bai Lihua couldn't help but ask, "I haven't seen you complain that Mo Ting works too hard. Don't you feel that he doesn't spend enough time with you?"
Because of her encounter with Quinidine, Tangning had been occupying her time with basic books on medicine. As soon as she heard Bai Lihua's question, she shook her head, "What is there to complain about? I know him better than anyone."
"What if he is doing something else behind your back? I've noticed that he's been going next door quite often lately. Haven't you noticed?" Bai Lihua asked with deep meaning. "I spotted him this morning. After he left the house, he did not go to Hai Rui, but went next door instead."
Tangning put down the book in her hands and stretched her neck to look outside, "How's that possible?"
"Why don't I go with you to see? Perhaps we might run into him."
Although Tangning did not believe Bai Lihua, she still wanted to know what Mo Ting had been getting up to. So, she stood up from the sofa and walked out of the villa with Bai Lihua to the building next door.
Next door, a bunch of workers were busy at work. As soon as they spotted Tangning, they quickly said, "Madam, your presence will hinder our construction."
"Isn't there anyone living here?" Tangning asked curiously.
"Originally there was, but the place has been sold to someone else now. Perhaps some big boss wants a place for his mistress," a worker sighed before heturned back to his work. However, Bai Lihua's expression was displeased, even though no one could see it.
"Xiao Ning, why don't you call Mo Ting and ask him about it?"
Tangning shook her head indifferently, "No need. He will naturally tell me when he wants to tell me."
Tangning then turned and returned to her home. After she left, the workers finally recalled Tangning's name, "Wasn't that Mo Ting's wife, Tangning? Does this mean she has lost his adoration already? Otherwise, why would he buy a property next door when he already has a home? He must be doing something sneaky. This must be a convenient way to keep a mistress while his wife is pregnant."
"Shut your mouth. Stop talking nonsense and focus on your work," the supervisor knocked the worker on the head as a warning.
"Seeing Tangning pregnant makes me feel sympathy for her."
"You can't say words like this out in the open."
Bai Lihua had only been around Tangning and Mo Ting for a short time. All she knew was that they had a flash marriage and never had any arguments. So, she had no idea how they interacted with each other, nor did she know the level of trust that Tangning had towards Mo Ting.
Especially during this sensitive period right before giving birth.
"Xiao Ning, I trust that Mo Ting has his reasons for doing this."
