"But, you can't deny that you're a person that acts on impulse. If my jerk grandson does something bad to you again, you'll still have to settle old scores with him, won't you?" Elder Fan laughed. "Young lady, as an elder, I shouldn't show my face in public and cause trouble for the younger generation. It's embarrassing for me."
"But, as a grandfather, I only have one grandson. If I ignore him, he's going to get himself killed sooner or later."
"In that case, Elder Fan, what do you want?" Tangning asked playfully. "How do you want me to promise you?"
"Haven't you been filming a sci-fi film recently? How about this: I'll personally invest in your film as an investor. I'm sure that with more money, you'll be able to produce better post-production. That way, even if we have a conflict of interest, we'll be bound together for good and for bad. That way, I'll be able to relax, "Elder Fan suggested.
But, after hearing this, Tangning suddenly wanted to laugh.
"Elder Fan, are you joking?"
"I'm being serious."
"No, you must be joking. Let's not talk about whether or not Superstar Media lacks money. Even if I had to give up on filming this film, I wouldn't let someone with a background like you invest in my film," Tangning said straightforwardly. "That's my bottom line."
After hearing Tangning's words, Elder Fan was a little surprised.
He had always believed that prostitutes were heartless and actors were unjust. But, when it came to Tangning, it seemed, someone that walked the dark side was more despicable and hateful than these two types of people.
"I'm currently running a legitimate business."
"But, my foundation is still a pile of bones."
The two men continued to stare at each other, neither willing to give in to the other. It was obvious that Elder Fan was also restraining himself. After all, the person sitting in front of him was a woman and a pregnant woman. No matter how despicable he was, he wouldn't do anything to a vulnerable person.
"You really have guts … So what you're saying is that you're choosing to perish together with us?" Elder Fan asked as he glanced at Tangning. "I simply don't understand. Investing in your film won't do you any harm …"
"My film can only be pure. I can't accept any stains. Otherwise, I would be letting down Qiao Sen." "Rather than wasting so much time on me, why don't you take care of your grandson and make sure he never appears in front of me again?"
"I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as he doesn't take the initiative, I definitely won't stand out and say a word."
This was probably the biggest concession Tangning could make.
Actually, Tangning could tell that Elder Tang did not have any ill intentions towards her. He simply wanted to make a deal.
However, she really couldn't agree with Grandpa Sheng's suggestion.
Grandfather Fan took a deep breath. He had never seen such a stubborn girl. He had to admit that this child had courage and tenacity. After all, there weren't many people like her nowadays.
Since that was the case, he didn't plan to make things difficult for him.
"This old man hopes that you will remember what you said today."
"I, Tangning, have never gone back on my word..."
Perhaps it was because he heard from his subordinates that Elder Fan and Tangning were currently meeting, President Fan returned home early and found a place to meet.
He originally thought that Elder Fan was going to put Tangning in her place. But, who would have thought, the person that was convinced was actually Elder Fan.
After Tangning left, President Fan immediately ran over to support Elder Fan, "Grandfather, how did the discussion go?"
"As long as you don't cause trouble for her, she can't be bothered to deal with your trivial matters. From today onwards, you better stay away from her."
After saying this, Elder Fan boarded his car and left. Obviously, Elder Fan did not have a bad temper towards Tangning. In fact, the two could be said to be 'birds of a feather'.
Elder Fan knew that Tangning didn't like the methods of the underworld. But, back in his era, this was the only way to survive.
After all, one's birth was not something that one could choose.
Some people were born in such a difficult environment.
Plus, he was used to seeing people suck up to those in power, so it was rare for him to meet someone that could speak the truth. In fact, Elder Fan even felt that Tangning was rare!
Afterwards, after Grandfather Fan left the cafe, President Fan grabbed onto the person beside him and asked, "What did grandfather say to Tangning?"
"Tangning, that sl * t, actually insulted Elder Fan," the bodyguard replied.
Hearing this, President Fan did not say a word. But, the hatred in his heart deepened.
He didn't even dare to say anything harsh to Elder Fan, yet Tangning dared to insult him?
"One day, I'm going to teach her a lesson."
…
A little later, Mo Ting found out that Tangning had been 'asked to leave', even though she told the driver to keep it a secret.
As soon as Tangning returned home, Mo Ting immediately pulled her into his embrace and scanned her from head to toe to make sure she wasn't underweight, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't lose out."
"If you were to lose out, would it be too late?" Mo Ting lectured. "You knew that you couldn't hide it from me. If I found out, I would only be more worried."
"Or, did you think that I didn't send enough bodyguards?"
Tangning breathed in Mo Ting's scent. She didn't know why, but she was completely mesmerized by it.
"If an enemy wants to deal with you, it's impossible to defend or avoid them. No matter how many preparations you make and how much protection you put in, as long as you observe them, they will still find an opportunity."
"What did he say to you?"
Tangning explained Elder Fan's suggestion to Mo Ting. After hearing this, Mo Ting felt that the Fan Family's existence was, in a way, a threat to Tangning's safety.
"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking without saying a word!" Tangning said as she lifted her head and looked at Mo Ting. "The Fan Family may be annoying, but they have a solid foundation. If you want to deal with them, it will take a lot of effort. I don't want you to waste your energy on them."
"Above all, the child in my stomach is about to be born. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."
Mo Ting looked at Tangning's round stomach and gently ran his hand over it. After all, this was their daughter …
Behind the couple, the little rascal, Mo Zichen, climbed onto the sofa and turned on the television.
Tangning turned around and glanced at Mo Zichen. This unsmiling little son of hers was going to be difficult to deal with when he grew up.
Although Tangning said this, Mo Ting couldn't help but be cautious at all times.
He even wanted to issue a stern warning to Old Man Fan...
Of course, this was after Tangning fell asleep.
