"Tangning, I am currently at Mo Yurou's assistant's home," early in the morning the next day, Long Jie made a phone call to Tangning. "However, it seems his daughter is sick. His wife is still quite young and all she is doing is playing games in her room."
"How sick is she?" Tangning furrowed her brows. How important was Mo Yurou to this man, for him to care about her so much?
"She won't stop crying and seems to be having both a fever and the chills. This poor child."
Tangning could hear the crying coming through the phone. If they hadn't come across this child, then it wouldn't have concerned them, but since Long Jie was witnessing this situation, she instructed her, "Take her to the hospital and pay for the bills."
Long Jie understood, so she quickly called the ambulance to take the child to emergency. While they were leaving, the child's mother was still watching a movie with her headphones on.
"This child had such a high fever she almost had pneumonia, what were you adults doing?" the doctor asked Long Jie as he examined the child's body.
Just as Long Jie was about to respond, Mo Yurou's assistant rushed over and looked at his daughter anxiously, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"
"Lucky she arrived in time or else it would have developed into pneumonia!"
After hearing his daughter was OK, You Lin gave a sigh of relief. However, when he turned his head and saw Long Jie, he was cautious, "What are you doing here?"
"She was the one that brought your daughter to the hospital," the doctor explained after figuring out the relationship between the three.
You Lin had mixed feelings. After seeing his daughter had fallen asleep, he pulled Long Jie outside, "What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to find out the whereabouts of Mo Yurou? Let me tell you, it's impossible!"
Long Jie scoffed as she pulled out some cash from her wallet and handed it to You Lin, "Tangning instructed me to send this child to the hospital. This money is also from Tangning, she told me to give it to you. You Lin, do you know which part of you I look down on? You've given Mo Yurou everything, but has she even considered the circumstances of you and your daughter? In the end, you needed the help of your enemy to save you..."
You Lin looked at the cash in his hands. He thought about how even in her current state, Mo Yurou still wanted to live in luxury. Thinking of her greedy expression, You Lin held back for a moment before speaking up, "Thank you for saving my daughter. I will help you guys just this once to repay your favor." Long Jie turned around and looked into You Lin's eyes. As expected, a person like Mo Yurou couldn't keep even her most loyal dog by her side; she deserved to be abandoned...
"You Lin lied to Mo Yurou that he found a big boss that is willing to sign her on as the front cover model of a men's magazine. After hearing this, Mo Yurou was extremely excited. We've already arranged to meet 7pm tonight at Glory Hotel."
"Long Jie, it's been hard on you," Tangning's voice was calm like she had everything under control.
"Not hard at all. I also want to see Mo Yurou's fate."
Tangning continued to receive invites from multiple companies, and as usual, she continued to decline them by saying she was resting. Her response to most companies was polite, except for one. In response to one particular company, she instructed Long Jie to give them a name and thank them for personally inviting Tangning there for an interview.
After hearing this, the editor of the magazine immediately went to investigate the name he was given. It turned out the b*stard had invited Tangning to be a nude model!
In the fashion industry, offending others was a huge taboo. Who would have thought, that b*stard had asked her to be a nude model!
"You don't need to work here anymore, get lost! At that time, we were indeed trying to avoid being implicated by the bed-climbing incident so we declined working with Tangning, but it was bad enough that we canceled the contract, you even wanted to make her a nude model? What did I say at the time? I told you to stay away from her, yet what stupid thing did you do?"
"Editor...I was wrong..." the man was taken aback. He didn't expect karma to hit him so quickly.
