"Boss has been so nervous lately. Can't you just stay at home and wait for the baby to go into labor?" Long Jie couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"I know my own body better than anyone," Tangning's expression was calm.
"Didn't you ask if it's a boy or a girl? Don't you care at all? " Long Jie appeared to be even more anxious than Tangning. Her eyes were fixed on Tangning's bulging stomach; her mind was filled with the thought of a little rascal coming out of Tangning's stomach.
"Is there a need to ask? Once it's born, we will naturally find out. " Tangning wanted to give herself and Mo Ting a surprise. Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, it was still her and Mo Ting's flesh and blood.
"My godson, hurry and come out... we are all waiting," Long Jie said as she knelt in front of Tangning and leaned in close to her stomach. Long Jie knelt down in front of Tangning and leaned in close to her stomach to speak. At this time, the child in Tangning's stomach seemed to be able to hear its godmother's invitation as it immediately kicked Tangning's stomach. Long Jie felt the baby move and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
Seeing this, a blissful smile appeared on Tangning's face...
...
With the protection of Elder Song, Song Xin quickly disappeared from the public eye. Meanwhile, the curses and abuse towards Song Xin were drowned out by other news. For example, people were wondering who Song Xin had offended to the point that she had to submit a film for review.
In reality, Tangning's situation was a lot more difficult than the public imagined. After all, the helper that the Song Family had hired this time was enough to shake up Beijing's entertainment industry. Tangning wasn't only banned from appearing in front of the public because of her films. She was also banned from all of the commercials that she had previously filmed and products that she wanted to endorse or sign with in the future. It seemed, for people at that level, the entire entertainment industry was like a toy in their hands. If they wanted to suppress an artist, they could do it in the blink of an eye...
Even if Hai Rui wanted to protect her...
... they still had to consider the consequences!
From Elder Song, Song Xin found out about Tangning's current situation. Indeed, power was a useful thing. Wasn't Mo Ting so capable? Wasn't Hai Rui so good at PR? Weren't they still unable to do anything? All they could do was watch as Tangning was restricted.
However, there was one thing that always bothered Song Xin: Duan Jinghong, who was taken away by Tangning.
Thinking of this, Song Xin went to the old man's study again. She sounded as wronged as ever, "Grandfather, do you still remember my good sister, Jinghong?"
"The one that's always by your side?" Old Master Song put down his pen and pondered.
"Yes, she's currently in Tangning's hands. Can you think of a way to save her?" Song Xin asked as she lay on Elder Qin's lap. "I know it's already hard on you for grandfather to ask for help on my behalf. Now that you're involved in something else, it must be hard on you …"
"Aren't you just asking for people? Don't tell me she can swallow it? " Elder Song replied. "Wait for grandfather's good news. But, you need to remember your promise to grandfather. Don't go back on your word."
"I understand, Grandpa." Song Xin nodded repeatedly.
Since Elder Song had made a promise to Song Xin, he was going to keep his promise. So, as soon as Song Xin left, he put on his reading glasses and made a phone call.
…
The next morning, the police arrived at Hyatt Regency and knocked on Tangning's door. As soon as they saw Tangning, they flashed their IDs, "We received a report from Duan Jinghong's family saying that she hasn't been home for a few days. According to our investigation, while she was at the hospital, your men were the ones that picked her up. So, we are here today to understand the situation …"
As soon as Tangning heard this, she realized that Song Xin was here to ask for Duan Jinghong. So, she simply smiled and said, "Officer, Duan Jinghong is a living person. How could I take her away on a whim? Have you contacted her? "
The police did not respond.
Seeing this, Tangning gave Duan Jinghong a phone call right in front of the police, "Jinghong, where are you? The police are looking for you. I heard that your family made a report. Has your family contacted you? "
To let the police hear Duan Jinghong's response, Tangning pressed the speaker button. But, Duan Jinghong replied, "I'm at home with my parents. Who made a report? They must have made a mistake … "
The police's expression changed as they looked at Duan Jinghong awkwardly.
"Officer, if you want to confirm something, you can go to the Duan family home and look for her yourself."
The police couldn't do anything to Tangning, so they could only apologize, "Sorry for disturbing you!"
"I understand. You are simply following orders." Of course, Tangning's words had a double meaning.
The police glanced at Tangning and left the villa without a change in expression.
Afterwards, Duan Jinghong returned Tangning's phone call, "Is that person looking for me?"
"What do you think?" Tangning asked.
"Don't worry, I won't go back."
"I'm not Song Xin. I don't like to threaten people. If you want to leave, then leave. I won't stop you."
Duan Jinghong did not say a word as the line hung up. After quite some time, Duan Jinghong finally replied, "I have my own pride. I'm not someone that you can order around."
Above all, Tangning had protected her family's safety.
She never expected that her relationship with Song Xin would end up like this. But, she was well aware of Song Xin's temper. With a hidden threat like her around, Song Xin would have an endless number of tricks up her sleeve.
If she was with Tangning, she could still believe that she had a future. But, if she was with Song Xin, she would only be used endlessly and would not end up well. Duan Jinghong knew that this was her only chance to save herself. She couldn't fall into Song Xin's trap again. She wasn't stupid, she could learn from her mistakes!
"Even so, you shouldn't be too stubborn. You know what Song Xin is most susceptible to..." Tangning wanted Duan Jinghong to protect herself.
"What about you? With Song Xin trapping you like this, who else in the industry would dare to look for you? "
Hearing Duan Jinghong's question, Tangning was silent for a moment before she replied, "If I'm trapped by Song Xin, would I still be called Tangning? I don't mind if everyone that tries to deal with me thinks that they've succeeded in their scheme and become complacent. Because, if they do, they will quickly expose their weaknesses... "
Duan Jinghong didn't understand, but she didn't force herself to understand. All she knew was that Tangning was more capable than she imagined. That was enough.
"In that case, take care of yourself." This was the only thing that Duan Jinghong could do for Tangning.
Tangning smiled casually, "My husband cares about this more than anyone else."
After speaking, Tangning hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Duan Jinghong stared at her phone in a daze. She was certain that Song Xin would soon call her back...
