"What's happening? Where did this person come from? "
"Did a fan sneak in?"
Everyone looked at the old woman in surprise. Even Mo Ting glanced over subtly.
She was filled with anticipation and fear, so the old woman quickly covered her face mask and turned around to apologize, "I'm so sorry."
Huo Jingjing wasn't someone that liked to cause trouble, so she did not pursue the matter. She simply instructed the hotel staff to deal with it. However, as soon as the hotel staff approached, they discovered that the intricately crafted folding screen had already been smashed.
The hotel staff had no way of dealing with it. After all, compensation was involved, so they called the hotel manager over.
As soon as the hotel manager had a look at the screen, his expression changed.
"Madam, do you know how much this folding screen costs?"
The old woman was afraid of causing a commotion, so she subconsciously took a few steps back. But, seeing that she was about to run away, the hotel manager quickly held her back, "Don't try to avoid responsibility."
Seeing this, Chen Xingyan immediately ran over and pushed the hotel manager away, "What are you doing? Don't touch my mom. "
Seeing Chen Xingyan's outfit, the hotel manager was even more certain that she wasn't an artist, but a fan that was trying to take advantage of the situation. So, his attitude turned colder, "I don't know how you got into the hotel, but since you damaged something, you need to compensate for it. If this madam had controlled herself, perhaps this folding screen wouldn't have been damaged."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Xingyan was obviously angered. "If you have a problem with me, don't insult my mother."
This time, Tangning heard this. Under Mo Ting's protection, she and Huo Jingjing approached the door. Seeing the scene in front of them, she couldn't help but say to the hotel manager, "Don't judge a book by its cover. This behavior won't do you any good for your hotel."
Seeing that Tangning had spoken up, the hotel manager immediately lowered his head and smiled in embarrassment.
As the old woman saw Mo Ting and Tangning getting so close, she became even more nervous as she wrapped herself up tightly. In order to resolve the matter as soon as possible without being discovered, she said, "I will compensate you."
"But, do you know how much this folding screen costs?"
Huo Jingjing was about to speak, but the old woman suddenly replied, "This folding screen is a brand used by the British Royal Family. There are less than 50 hotels in the entire world that have the rights to purchase it."
When the hotel manager heard this, he was stunned for a moment. His eyes widened in shock. However, his next sentence was much more polite. "Then the price …"
"Xiao Xing, give me your contact number. We'll be leaving first," the woman suddenly said anxiously.
Actually, even Chen Xingyan was a little surprised that her mother would know about something so exaggerated. At this time, An Zihao stepped forward and said to the hotel manager, "Put it on my tab."
"Yes, Mr. An." The hotel manager couldn't have asked for more.
Afterwards, An Zihao turned to leave with the two women. However, Tangning stopped him, "Zihao, you still haven't given me something."
"I'll send it to you later."
The woman quickly glanced at Mo Ting and lowered her head. But, how could her every move escape Mo Ting's eyes?
Soon, An Zihao escorted the couple out of the venue. After boarding the car, An Zihao said, "Auntie, let me take you home first."
The woman's entire body was trembling, but she was actually extremely nervous.
Of course, An Zihao was also a little curious about the woman's identity.
"Mom, how did you know about the screen?"
"I've seen it before," the woman said with a slightly aged tone. Actually, this luxurious home furnishings were opened by an Asian. After all, how could there be a screen in the UK? Furthermore, she had a close relationship with this person.
"Fine. Don't you have a question for An Zihao? Ask him now. "
The woman sneaked a glance at An Zihao through the rearview mirror and lowered her head, not daring to look at him, "Forget it, let's do it another day. You decide your own business."
An Zihao was a little surprised. The woman's emotions seemed to be fluctuating quite a bit.
"In that case, did you come here to give the hotel money for nothing?" Chen Xingyan rolled her eyes. "How much did the screen cost?"
"It shouldn't be less than $2 million," An Zihao replied.
Chen Xingyan glanced at the woman from behind, "Since I'm already your signed artist, then … you can pay for it."
"You want to be a stunt double? How many scenes do you think you need to film before I can recoup my losses? Or, how many times do you need to swindle others before you can pay back your debt? "
Hearing the word 'swindle', the woman felt a little uncomfortable, so she retorted, "Xiao Xing may be naughty, but she wouldn't do something like swindle others. She doesn't need to …"
The woman did not explain why she didn't need to. So, the two were naturally confused.
After escorting the woman home, An Zihao finally asked Chen Xingyan, "Does your mother seem a little strange today?"
"She seems like someone else. But, what does that have to do with you?" Chen Xingyan scanned An Zihao from head to toe.
"Since you said you wanted to sign with me, then you are my artist. Now that you are my artist, you have to listen to everything I say."
"An Zihao, don't be too happy. If I am the heiress of a rich family, I will definitely cook you for revenge," Chen Xingyan humphed. But, of course, she had no idea that this humph would eventually become reality.
The two were too casual, so they naturally didn't notice anything else. But …
Mo Ting and Tangning were both observant people. So, after seeing the woman, they immediately felt that something wasn't quite right.
At least, a woman dressed in ordinary clothes that could explain the origins of a luxurious screen would definitely leave a deep impression.
However, their curiosity wasn't enough for them to investigate the woman.
"Ting, everything that happened tonight was quite interesting. Did you see the expression on Zihao's face? That woman … "
"It's getting late. Get some rest," Mo Ting said as he wrapped his arm around Tangning and placed a kiss on her forehead.
Tangning did not say anything else, but she had a smile on her face. Meanwhile, not long after Hua Wenfeng got into bed, Father Mo suddenly thought of something, "A couple of days ago, Mo Ting came over and asked me a lot of strange questions. He also asked me about the fire that broke out at the research institute."
After hearing this, Hua Wenfeng froze, "Why would he ask all these questions out of the blue?"
"How would I know? He even asked you why you changed your surname! "
Hua Wenfeng panicked as her body tensed up, "So, you told him everything?"
"It's not a secret. Why can't I tell him?" Father Mo put down the glasses in his hands and lay down on the bed with Hua Wenfeng. "I wonder what the two of you are doing."
