After hearing this, An Zihao's eyes grew wide and filled with anger. He grabbed Lan Xi and asked through gritted teeth, "Yun Xin has already passed away, how could you be so ruthless that you wouldn't even let a dead person go?"
"If you can't even care about the living, how could you care about the dead?" Lan Xi scoffed as her eyes became misty, "An Zihao, we have been friends for many years, we are friends. Yet, you are helping Tangning? What benefits did Tangning give you? Is it worth it for you to throw away our friendship for so many years? "
"Tangning has never given me any benefits. Unlike you, she doesn't give me fame and money. But... Lan Xi, in front of Tangning, I feel like I am living a normal life. At least, she isn't like you, constantly threatening me..."
After speaking, An Zihao loosened his grip and sneered, "So, don't mention the word 'friend' to me, it makes me feel disgusted."
After being pushed away, Lan Xi felt a heavy blow to her heart, "I may make you feel disgusted, but don't you think about how difficult my life is?"
"Tangning's life is much more difficult than yours. At least, you haven't come across a boss more vicious than you, but she has..." An Zihao saw Lan Xi did not respond, so he decided not to continue arguing with her, "I can resign and leave Cheng Tian, but... if you want me to help you clear the headlines, that is impossible."
"If you want to see Yun Xin being scolded by the netizens after her death, you can give it a try!"
An Zihao looked at Lan Xi and stared at her. It wasn't easy for him to resist the urge to hit her. In the end, he nodded his head, "OK, I'll fulfill your wish. What do you want me to do?"
"Hold a press conference to clarify that this incident had nothing to do with me and that you were the one who created this recording!"
An Zihao looked at Lan Xi's back helplessly. Didn't she want him to leave Cheng Tian with his reputation in tatters?
Since he had already gotten to this point, what difference did it make whether he took the blame or not?
"I promise," An Zihao replied straightforwardly. But, before he turned to leave, he added, "You better not regret this."
Lan Xi did not turn around. She maintained her pride as a CEO as she scoffed mockingly. She already had Yun Xin's weakness in her hands, what else could An Zihao do?
After An Zihao left the office, he did not tell anyone about his conversation with Lan Xi. He simply headed to Yun Xin's grave on his own and sat in front of her tombstone for an entire day.
"Yun Xin... why didn't you take me with you back then?"
…
At this moment, it was already nighttime in the UK. Tangning had not received any news regarding An Zihao and was extremely anxious. It seemed, there was nothing Lu Che could do to help with Cheng Tian's family matters. Above all, Hai Rui already had enough to deal with.
After An Zihao left, although Long Jie was busy as usual, there were some things that required a lot of effort. Especially when it came to English, there were a lot of technical terms that she couldn't understand.
"Tangning..."
"Let me see." Tangning picked up the laptop in her hands and looked at the comments An Zihao had already made, "This is an invalid contract, it has already been rejected."
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I even spent a few hours translating it."
After dealing with Hai Rui's matters, Mo Ting came out of the study room. Seeing the worried expressions on the two women's faces, he casually took the laptop from Tangning's hands. But, Tangning was afraid he would be like this, so her mood became even worse.
After Mo Ting finished looking through all of Tangning's emails, he placed the tasks that she needed to complete at the top of his list. Because of JK's success, Tangning might need to stay in the UK for a period of time. She had received a few more master-level runway offers.
"Ting, I want to return to Beijing," Tangning asked for Mo Ting's opinion.
Mo Ting knew she was worried about her friend. Before An Zihao's matter was resolved, there was no way she could calm down and work. So, he nodded his head calmly, "I'll get someone to book you a plane ticket and help you postpone your work until 2 days later."
Tangning gently nodded her head as her heart skipped a beat. She knew, no matter what, Mo Ting would always stand by her side and support her every decision.
At this time, the new manager sent by Lan Xi gave Long Jie a phone call. Long Jie reluctantly picked up the phone. In the end, the manager was even angrier than she was as she scolded, "As an assistant, what are you trying to do by not letting a model stay in the room arranged by the agency?"
"Where are you right now?"
"It's already the middle of the night, why haven't you returned to the hotel? Are you crazy? "
Thinking about it, the manager must have gone to the hotel empty-handed.
Long Jie wanted to refute, but she realized she couldn't say a word. All she could do was stare at Tangning in a daze, speechless.
"Are you mute? Who told you to speak... "
Tangning suddenly snatched the phone out of Long Jie's hands and said, "You have been fired."
"Who are you? How dare you fire me!"
"Tangning!"
The manager thought it was Long Jie, so as soon as she heard Tangning's name, her attitude changed as she spoke in a flattering tone, "I'm sorry Ning Jie, I couldn't find you guys, so I got a little anxious."
"I'm sorry, you just happened to insult my assistant, so I'd like to ask you to not appear in front of me. If Lan Xi asks, you can answer her that even if a bag of trash is disguised as a manager, she is still trash."
After speaking, Tangning hung up the phone and handed it back to Long Jie.
This time, Tangning and the other two set off that very night. With the addition of JK's popularity, Tangning was even more careful than before. So... as the sports car drove out of the manor, the reporter from Hua Rong Studio did not manage to get a clear photo. In fact, he couldn't even get a clear shot of the back of the car.
It wasn't until she boarded the plane that Tangning found out Luo Hao had released news about her and a male model in Beijing. It turned out, something like this had actually happened.
Everyone had been hiding it from her; Mo Ting had even spent a fortune to keep Lan Xi on the hottest search rankings.
"There's no need to do this... really."
"I can't stand by and watch you suffer like this..." Mo Ting replied in seriousness as he hugged her.
Tangning had nothing to say. She simply held onto Mo Ting's hand and gently placed a kiss on the back of it.
The reporter from Hua Rong Studio had once again missed his chance to take photos. But, did that mean he wouldn't be able to get a photo?
After almost 10 hours of flight time, Tangning and Long Jie quietly stepped out of the airport. Not long after, they saw a video announcement: Cheng Tian Entertainment's An Zihao was about to hold a press conference...
Tangning knew Lan Xi wanted An Zihao to be the scapegoat.
Because, she had endured this feeling before.
But, Lan Xi never expected... she, Tangning, would return.
