"But, without you, we wouldn't be able to continue our work."
Hearing this, Tangning laughed as she lay in bed, "Ever since I started modeling, you've been able to handle things on your own. Why are you acting like this? Lin Qian is pregnant, so you can't tire her out. Superstar Media is now in your hands and you can do whatever you want with it. Long Jie, I hope that when I return, Superstar Media will be on the rise. "
"Where are you going?" Long Jie could tell that Tangning was planning to leave, so she began to panic.
"After I deal with Hanmo's matter, I'm going to safely give birth to my daughter. After that, I'm going to study film production and other things," Tangning replied. "If I don't study systematically, how can I produce a better film?"
After hearing this, Long Jie laughed, "I knew you wouldn't be defeated so easily. You're indeed the Tangning I know."
But, after laughing, she fell silent, "But, if you leave like this, you'll be completely silent. As time goes by, the industry will eventually drown you."
"When have I ever cared about something like this?" Tangning comforted. "Right now, I carry the dreams of two people on my shoulders. I'm going to fulfill their dreams."
"As for Lin Qian, you're currently pregnant. After you give birth, I hope you can return to Superstar Media and work alongside Long Jie."
"Don't worry," Lin Qian replied.
Actually, Lin Qian was also a little distracted. She blamed herself for indirectly causing Xia Hanmo's death.
Tangning understood what she was thinking, so she comforted, "You gave Hanmo what she wanted the most. You weren't the one that caused her death. Your forgiveness has freed her."
"Then … what will free you?"
"The two of you, stop beating around the bush. Tell me, when are you leaving and when are you coming back?"
"After the press conference, I'll completely retreat. The day 'The Ant Queen' is released will be the day I return."
Hearing this, Long Jie nodded her head, "I trust you because you are Tangning. Even when faced with a difficult situation, you will grit your teeth and persevere."
"In that case, when will the press conference be held?"
"The day after tomorrow," Tangning replied with an indecipherable expression on her face.
She owed Xia Hanmo an explanation and she owed Xia Hanmo's fans an explanation.
Of course, she also made an important decision.
…
So, the news that Tangning was holding a press conference immediately caused an uproar in Beijing. Originally, some people assumed that she wouldn't come out to clear her name. But, who would have thought, they would be slapped in the face so quickly.
"I never thought Tangning would kneel to the outside world. I've lived for a long time."
"This incident has affected too much and Hai Rui has been implicated. Of course she has to step out and act. Otherwise, how will the public continue to chase after Hai Rui's artists?"
"I want to see what kind of tricks she has up her sleeve."
Everyone was waiting to see Tangning cry in front of the cameras. Because, this time, she had no way of denying the fact that she had taken a life.
"I'm used to seeing her attack others. This time, I'm going to open my eyes wide and see how she's going to put on a good show."
…
She simply told Luo Sheng, Xing Lan and all her friends, including Bei Chendong and the others, not to speak up for her. It was best for them to stay as far away from her as possible.
It wasn't easy for anyone to become famous. There was no need to ruin it because of her.
So, this time, Tangning's friends all remained silent.
This was all because of Tangning's numerous requests.
Even so, as good friends, Huo Jingjing, who hadn't seen Tangning in a long time, still came to Hyatt Regency to keep Tangning company.
"Sometimes, I really miss the times when we walked the runway together. We were just simple models back then. But, in the blink of an eye, you've become someone that people can only look up to."
"Doesn't that mean I'm about to become the soil that others can step on?" Tangning asked. "Life is unpredictable."
"I miss the days we spent together. I miss the time when you pulled me back from the gates of hell. Do you still remember when I tried to commit suicide?"
"Of course," Tangning nodded. Tangning nodded her head. "Jingjing, I've actually learned a lot from you. Especially... your courage to start afresh after suffering so many injuries."
"I need that kind of courage right now …"
"I've already survived, so you can too. That's why I've ordered flowers for you on the day of your press conference. No matter what decision you make, Fang Yu and I will support you." After speaking, Huo Jingjing gave Tangning a hug. "Good luck! I still want to see the Tangning that's always scheming and high-spirited. "
"You'll see."
Thinking back to the path she had once taken, Tangning couldn't help but smile. Huo Jingjing had reminded her of the wealth she had accumulated along the way. She couldn't go backwards and lose to the past.
Since she was going to do something big, she was going to do it as long as she had a clear conscience!
…
It didn't take long before the press conference arrived. Tangning had lost count of the number of press conferences she had held. It seemed, every time, she created some kind of news.
From the time she announced her comeback to the time she announced her retirement, Tangning realized that she had matured over the past few years.
The press conference was arranged to be held in the lobby of Hai Rui. This place could hold a few thousand people. Mo Ting specially prepared chairs for the media. Of course, everything else was to ensure Tangning's safety.
The media knew that the press conference today was Tangning's response to the Xia Hanmo incident.
As for Tangning's performance, the reporters were looking forward to it.
At this time, Tangning was in the waiting room. As this was her last outing before giving birth, she was dressed in a long black dress and had her makeup applied to ensure she maintained her perfect appearance.
"Are you ready?" Mo Ting asked as he quietly entered the waiting room.
Tangning turned around and nodded at Mo Ting, "I've been ready for a long time."
"In that case, let's head out."
Xia Hanmo's fans were also present today. But, Hai Rui had already taken precautions. No one would be able to hurt Tangning, at least not in their territory.
2pm. The press conference officially began.
Facing a few hundred reporters, Tangning walked onto the stage with Mo Ting's help. She did not sit down, instead, she stood up straight and looked at the reporters below the stage.
She knew that every single one of them wanted to tear her apart.
But, she was afraid, every single time, she would disappoint them.
Afterwards, Tangning adjusted the microphone and said to everyone, "I know everyone is here today to hold me accountable for my actions … Because of me, Xia Hanmo has unfortunately died …"
