Soon, Lin Qian was sent to the hospital. Although her wounds were treated, she still started a course of vaccinations.
And because the hospital room was filled with people that she knew, Lin Qian finally broke into tears.
Li Jin quickly drew her into his embrace so she wouldn't feel like she had no one to rely on.
In this moment, Tangning understood Lin Qian's suffering. So, even if she had a falling out with Xia Hanmo - even if she had to tear apart her own creation - she would do it without hesitation.
It wasn't like she didn't want to give Xia Hanmo a chance, but if the kennel attendant hadn't been doing his rounds, Lin Qian may not have walked out of there alive. Worst of all, while Lin Qian was missing, Xia Hanmo didn't even care at all.
The thing that disappointed Tangning the most was the look on Xia Hanmo's face when she appeared. Xia Hanmo was actually so proud of herself because she was famous. She actually thought Tangning was giving up on Lin Qian. From the day that Superstar Media was formed, its main aim had never been purely on gaining benefits.
Meanwhile, inside the hospital room, everyone watched as Lin Qian weeped and released her suffering. But, a moment later, Tangning received a phone call from Long Jie, "What happened? Everyone's saying that you publicly tore your artist apart. What's going on with Xia Hanmo? What exactly happened?"
As it impacted future PR, Tangning explained the entire situation to Long Jie. And of course, with her bad temper, Long Jie immediately exploded after hearing what happened, "You did well! I can't believe that Xia Hanmo can't distinguish right from wrong."
"Zhou Qing is a schemeful person, but Superstar Media has always respected the truth."
"Do a proper investigation into this matter and secure any evidence you can find. Most importantly, don't forget to send Xia Hanmo a contract cancelation."
"Even if Zhou Qing manages to settle this matter. I can guarantee that his previous television station will chase him for revenge."
"Understood," Long Jie nodded her head.
After making her phone call, Tangning returned to the hospital room. By this time, Lin Qian had calmed down and stopped crying.
Tangning walked over to Lin Qian and pulled her out of Li Jin's arms so she could hug her, "You've suffered. I'm not going to let this incident pass."
"But, Zhou Qing's really scary."
"No matter how scary he is, he still has his flaws. Even if he doesn't get exposed now, he will eventually be exposed some day," Tangning comforted. "Go home and focus on your recovery. Leave the remaining matter for me to handle. I will get revenge for everything that you've suffered."
Lin Qian nodded as she hugged Tangning tightly and buried her head into her neck with a sob.
...
That night, Xia Hanmo thought back on the day and felt like she had been dreaming a very unrealistic dream; Tangning actually announced in front of everyone that she'd be canceling her contract.
It turned out, she was just an easily disposable chess piece to Tangning...
Yet, she thought she was important.
"Hanmo, are you OK?" Zhou Qing comforted with guilt. "Sorry, it was my fault for causing such a huge misunderstanding between you and Superstar Media."
"No, I should be the one that's sorry. You only just accepted this job, but I seem to have ruined it for you."
"Be good Hanmo, break all ties with me and go apologize to Tangning..." Zhou Qing sighed. "Don't give up on the life you created because of me."
After hearing this, Xia Hanmo turned around and clasped her hands around Zhou Qing's cheeks as tears rolled out of her eyes, "I can go back and apologize to Tangning, but I will never break up with you. You are a great person and I don't want to give up on you. I'm simply going back to apologize because I don't want Tangning to go up against you."
"You know how scary she is. There's nothing in this world that she can't do."
