What Han Ruoxue said was indeed the truth. During the entire time that she tried to frame Tangning, the person that benefited the most was Tangning, followed by Hai Rui Entertainment.
After being mentioned by Hai Rui, Tangning’s fame increased dramatically while she gained more fans. At the same time, Hai Rui reconfirmed their status in the industry; killing THREE birds with one stone.
Night hit. Tangning returned home to find Lu Che pacing back and forth outside the front door. She turned to him questioningly, "Lu Che, why aren’t you going inside?"
"Madam, you’re back." Upon seeing Tangning, Lu Che seemed to have seen his savior as his eyes lit up.
"What’s wrong?"
"The president’s mood isn’t too good today..."
"Why?" Tangning looked at Lu Che and understood he was afraid of getting in trouble with Mo Ting, so she assured him, "Don’t worry, speak, I will handle this matter carefully."
"It’s because of Hai Rui’s statement. The higher-ups felt it wasn’t necessary to mention your name and boost your exposure; there was a disagreement," Lu Che explained, "Of course, they weren’t brave enough to stop the president, but..."
Tangning’s heart sunk. She understood what Lu Che was trying to say, "It’s ok, I will comfort him."
Even a small company like Tianyi had their power struggles, so of course, Hai Rui was no different.
Obviously, Mo Ting’s authority was being questioned and she was the one that ignited it.
After Lu Che left, Tangning calmed down and entered the villa. Upon seeing Mo Ting standing by the study room window drinking wine, she gently approached him and reached out her arms to hug him from behind, "President Mo, you appear to be upset."
"Did Lu Che say something?" Mo Ting guessed. "It’s not a big deal; nothing to be upset about."
"To you, I am your wife, so it’s normal for you to be biased towards me. But, to the staff at Hai Rui, I am not related to you at all, so it’s expected that they would have their opinions," Tangning said gently.
"That’s not the main issue," Mo Ting turned around and put down his wine glass as he wrapped Tangning in his embrace.
"Is it because someone wants to challenge your power?" Just the thought of this made Tangning hug Mo Ting tighter, "You’re well aware that there are so many people eyeing your position, how could you help me in such a high-profile way. Mo Ting, I won’t allow you to do this again. This time, it has made you unhappy, but what about next time? This incident with Han Ruoxue, I know you had it all figured. You had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and the photo at the Bright Night Gala was it. But, it wasn’t necessary for you to prove my innocence in your statement; don’t do it again."
"Are you complaining that I was meddling in your business?" Mo Ting’s expression was slightly disappointed.
Tangning froze for a moment before grabbing hold of Mo Ting’s hand and placing it atop her heart. She looked at him seriously as she spoke, "It hurts here. Everyone knows you are like a king; you are beyond reach. But I know, behind you is an abyss waiting for you to fall into."
"I, Tangning, am not worthy. Even if I was to accept your help, it would be the day when everyone acknowledges my abilities."
