"But, I'm very worried about Hanmo and my own situation," Lin Qian replied. "I don't know why, but discovering someone's secret isn't a big deal. But, the Zhou Qing that picked up the phone gave me the feeling that he was cold-blooded and heartless. Now that I think about it, I'm still a little scared."
"Don't worry, I'll protect you," Li Jin comforted. "Since you don't want to live in my villa, then you can move in with my parents. After all, my mom likes you a lot."
"What are you talking about?" Lin Qian glared at Li Jin.
But, Li Jin wasn't just saying it. He actually had plans to do so.
…
After receiving the phone call from Lin Qian, Tangning couldn't help but reevaluate Zhou Qing.
He was known to be the best host in the industry, had a high EQ, was talented and had practically no flaws. But, no one expected him to hide it so well.
As soon as Mo Ting returned home, he noticed Tangning looking at Zhou Qing's information. He approached her and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Tangning spent some time explaining to Mo Ting what Lin Qian had seen. After a few seconds of silence, Mo Ting's eyes darkened, "To be able to disguise himself so perfectly, he's not an easy person to deal with. Zhou Qing's IQ and EQ are both very high and he knows how to judge the situation. I'm afraid, he even borrowed your help."
Mo Ting was referring to helping Zhou Qing jump ship to a rival.
Even though, Tangning wanted Xia Hanmo to lay the groundwork.
Tangning didn't dare to underestimate Zhou Qing because she didn't like to underestimate her enemies.
"Ting … if what Lin Qian saw is true and Zhou Qing's disguise is true, then do you think we should be cautious of him in the future?"
"He will definitely steal Xia Hanmo," Mo Ting replied. "Originally, he wanted to slowly get closer to her and use Xia Hanmo and Superstar Media to solidify his position. But, now that Lin Qian has found out, he will definitely try to drive a wedge between the two of them. As long as Xia Hanmo trusts him, it means that you trust him."
"After all, Lin Qian's partner is in the military and military families are strict. As soon as they get married, Lin Qian will have no choice but to return to her family. So, he assumed that you, who knows how to weigh everything, would give up on Lin Qian and choose Xia Hanmo."
After hearing this, Tangning agreed with Mo Ting.
"He's wrong, I won't give up on anyone."
"If he's actually plotting against Superstar Media … I won't let him off so easily."
"Let's observe a little longer."
Luckily, Lin Qian reacted quickly this time and denied it. She was currently dealing with Coco's matter, so by the time she found out, the consequences would be unimaginable. Plus, she didn't think that just because she didn't expose Coco, she would be safe. Zhou Qing was too good at pretending. In an instant, he completely overturned his image of a good man.
But this time, such a powerful character, really …
Would he be so easy to deal with?
…
Later that night, Zhou Qing pretended to care about his reputation and asked Xia Hanmo about Lin Qian. He even made a special trip to Xia Hanmo's apartment to treat her to supper.
Xia Hanmo already had a deep sense of gratitude towards Zhou Qing. As long as Zhou Qing showed her the slightest bit of kindness, her impression of him would multiply.
"Hanmo, you're actually very talented. With the help of someone as capable as Lin Qian, your future will be limitless."
"You've actually helped me a lot," Xia Hanmo said. "Thank you, Zhou Ge."
"It's nothing. Silly girl, why are you thanking me so much?" After speaking, Zhou Qing took Xia Hanmo for a walk in a quiet area. "I've visited your brother at the hospital, so I know it hasn't been easy for you. Silly girl, it's been hard on you over the years."
Xia Hanmo was a little surprised. She never expected that Zhou Qing would visit her brother.
But, the most surprising thing was, Zhou Qing took advantage of the time when no one was around to hug her.
"Zhou Ge …"
"Hanmo …"
Zhou Qing was good at playing hard to get. He did not make any further moves, nor did he confess to Xia Hanmo. He simply made her heart race as he whispered in her ear, "Although Lin Qian might misunderstand, I still want to hug you."
This way, Xia Hanmo would hide the fact that Zhou Qing was hugging her because of the phone call they had in the parking lot.
As expected, the next day, Xia Hanmo did not mention a single word about what happened the night before to Lin Qian.
Because Lin Qian had to take care of her own safety, she couldn't reveal her true feelings. But, she hated this feeling. She felt like the distance between her and Xia Hanmo was slowly growing. Since Tangning wanted to investigate Zhou Qing, she had no choice but to tell Lin Qian not to do anything.
Meanwhile, Tangning wanted to quickly resolve the matter with Coco. That way, she could focus on dealing with Zhou Qing.
So, when Mother Li made an appointment to see Coco, she told Father Li to bring his bodyguards and lawyer.
Coco obviously didn't want to see her mother. Her eyes were filled with disgust. Especially when Mother Li approached to hug her, Coco immediately sat down on the sofa and burst into tears. This was what Tangning had taught her. She wanted this woman to never harass her father again.
"You're a bad woman. For the sake of money, you abandoned me and father a long time ago. Now, you're trying to take me back. You're inhumane."
"You're simply trying to cheat dad of his money. You're so bad."
Mother Li never expected that Coco would react in such a way. As a result, everyone's attention was drawn to her.
"Coco, mom loves you …"
"All you love is money. When I was two years old, you abandoned me in the snow. Dad was the one who saved me. You're inhumane."
"Now that I can make money, you're trying to take me back? I'm going to sue you in court."
No matter what, she had to first stand on the moral high ground.
She had to make everyone understand that this woman had abandoned her husband and daughter. She couldn't let Mother Li gain the upper hand.
The little drama queen did her job well. So, everyone began to point at Mother Li.
"How can a mother be like this? She's crazy."
"Isn't that the Coco that Mo Ting took a photo with? This woman is trying to take advantage of someone just because they're rich. She's unbelievable. "
"Take a photo of her and expose her to the public."
In an instant, everyone was scolding the heartless woman. Meanwhile, Coco returned to her father's side and let out a sigh of relief.
A moment later, the lawyer approached Mother Li and said, "We are lawyers hired by Mr. Li and Coco. Madam, I think it's time for us to have a chat."
"When it comes to Coco's custody, you have no right to interfere, do you understand?"
