"Song Xin!"
"I heard from a few people I know from the milk powder agency that they have listed you as their number one candidate. You should feel lucky that you are about to receive a sky-high endorsement fee." Song Xin completely ignored Lu Che's warning as she rubbed her chin and continued, "As for acting... soon, you will only be able to play the role of a mother. What should I do? I can already imagine you teaching your children with your hair in a bun. "
"I know, Tangning is famous for her good temper. Today, I told you the truth. I'm sure you won't do anything to me, right?"
"Have we had a conflict in the past?" Tangning didn't understand why Song Xin had suddenly provoked her.
"No, we've never met before," Song Xin shrugged. "It's just that I'm used to being number one. So, when I arrive at Hai Rui, I won't just be number two. Let me give you a heads up."
"Song Xin, our madam has already been in the industry for 10 years... you are still a newcomer."
"You've been in the industry for 10 years and you've only received one award?" Song Xin let out a laugh as she waved her hand at the two women. "Hurry and go home. I don't want to see your 8-month pregnant belly. Although you are President Mo's lover and it's normal for you to take the best, I will use my abilities to surpass you. "
Lu Che looked at Tangning anxiously, afraid that she would be angry. But, Tangning's calm expression told Lu Che that even if she was angry, it wouldn't be written on her face.
"Remember what you said today..."
"I will remember it clearly."
Tangning took a good look at Song Xin and scanned her from head to toe. Song Xin's appearance wasn't bad, but... in the entertainment industry, it wasn't decided by who had the aura.
In reality, Song Xin's heart was beating like a drum. Although her words were righteous, she was, after all, in front of the calm Tangning. Tangning had fought all over the world; she wasn't someone that could be intimidated by a few words.
Afterwards, Tangning boarded her car and Lu Che got into the driver's seat. The two women left through the underground parking lot, leaving Song Xin to light a cigarette, "What an interesting woman. Too bad... she's about to give birth."
...
"Madam, don't pay attention to Song Xin. She is indeed talented, but she is too arrogant."
"The future belongs to the young. She's right. I'm not young anymore," Tangning said with a sigh.
"But you're only 27."
27-years-old, she was no longer at the age where she could take risks and play around. Especially after marrying Mo Ting and having a child, the entertainment industry and fighting had unknowingly become a weapon in her hands to protect the people around her. She no longer enjoyed the glory and luxury.
"Is there really a milk powder commercial for me?" Actually, Tangning was a little offended by Song Xin's words. Getting old... this was an illness that was buried deep within a woman's heart. No matter how well they hid it, it still hurt when poked. After all, time could not be reversed.
"No..." Lu Che replied decisively.
Tangning let out a gentle laugh. Lu Che was never good at lying.
Soon, the couple arrived at Hyatt Regency. As it was already late, Auntie Bai had prepared a hot and nutritious meal for Tangning to return home.
"Xiao Ning, you didn't bring your phone with you. There were several missed calls in the afternoon," Aunt Bai pointed to the bedroom upstairs and said.
Tangning grabbed her phone and sat down at the dining table. As soon as she saw Huo Jingjing had called her a few times, she immediately called her back. It had been a long time since the two had spoken.
"Ning..."
As soon as she heard Huo Jingjing's voice, Tangning's expression turned serious. She could sense that Huo Jingjing was in a low mood, "What happened?"
"Nothing. I was just a little tired from attending a party. I originally wanted to go see you, but you weren't home," Huo Jingjing replied as she pulled herself together.
"Did you argue with Fang Yu?" Tangning asked sensitively.
"Did you know that Hai Rui recently signed a secret weapon called Song Xin?" Huo Jingjing suddenly mentioned. "She's a powerful character."
"What happened?"
"Previously, Fang Yu was in charge of everything related to her. But, Fang Yu is a married man, so he has to be careful of me. So, he delegated a lot of things to me. I'm not sure if I'm overthinking things, but I feel like she's very vengeful and I've fallen into a trap," Huo Jingjing said cautiously with a worried tone.
This made Tangning's heart skip a beat. Huo Jingjing had already experienced a lot in the industry. If Huo Jingjing still felt something was wrong, then there was definitely something fishy going on.
"Tell me in detail."
"Previously, when we were discussing a collaboration, my assistant and the representative from the other party's company met at a hotel. Afterwards, my assistant left for a few minutes, so I didn't take it to heart. But, this afternoon, when I was having lunch with Fang Yu, Fang Yu found a photo on his phone."
"I asked Fang Yu about it and he said he received an anonymous letter."
"Fang Yu can tell the difference, you don't need to take it to heart," Tangning comforted, "Plus, you can't use this incident to suspect Song Xin."
"Song Xin warned me to be careful at the agency. Otherwise, why would I think of her?"
"Be more careful next time," Tangning's voice carried a sense of caution.
"I'm fine. It's a lot easier to talk about it." Huo Jingjing's surroundings suddenly became a little noisy. "I'm going to talk to you later. I'm going to pick up Xiao Yue from school. It's getting late."
"Be careful on the road."
Huo Jingjing's status in Hai Rui was extraordinary. If Song Xin was really ambitious, then Huo Jingjing would definitely be part of her plans.
However, Tangning didn't know what Song Xin was capable of!
To put her mind at ease, Tangning said to Lu Che, "Let me have a look at Song Xin's information."
"OK," Lu Che nodded.
Not long after, Lu Che returned to the agency. Apart from giving Song Xin a verbal warning, he also sent Song Xin's information to Tangning.
After dinner, Tangning lay on the sofa and looked through Song Xin's information. It turned out, Song Xin had such a powerful background. She was actually a third-generation celebrity!
That night, Mo Ting wasn't around. So, Tangning slept in the living room and had a long nightmare. She dreamed that Song Xin was strangling her neck and kicking her stomach.
It didn't take long before Tangning awoke from her nightmare.
But … she was already in bed. Mo Ting had kept his promise and was by her side the next morning.
Tangning immediately hugged him and tried her best to calm herself down, "I don't think I'm dreaming."
"Silly girl." Mo Ting gently stroked the back of her head and hugged her tightly in his arms, "Hurry, it's time to wake up and eat breakfast."
"OK." Tangning lifted the blanket and got ready to get out of bed. At this time, Mo Ting said in a low voice, "Something happened to Huo Jingjing."
