”However, I accept the challenge!”

Within Hai Rui, Zhen Manni couldnʼt play any tricks. But, it didnʼt mean she couldnʼt do anything in private.

Since Mo Ting had returned Charlene to her side, she could send Charlene out to do her dirty deeds. If they were to be caught, sheʼd deny it to the end.

Apart from showing Huo Jingjing she had picked the wrong side, Zhen Manni made a move on her because she wanted her to know Tangning had no status in Hai Rui; no matter what dirty underhanded schemes Tangning used to make Mo Ting her manager, it was impossible for Tangning to surpass her status!

”The President already knows about this incident...” Lu Che explained. ”Madam, President wonʼt let this slide!”

Mo Ting had always detested those that schemed behind peopleʼs backs. Not to mention, the incident this time had happened right under his nose. It didnʼt matter that the person involved was Zhen Manni, even if it was someone else, he still would not let them off.

”How are Jingjingʼs injuries?”

”The media are currently defaming her and Fang Yu. In order not to let the media make up stories about domestic violence, she is currently hiding out at home. Her manager is taking care of her,” Lu Che explained.

”Has she seen a doctor?”

”Not sure.”

Tangning hung up the phone and gave her husband a phone call, ”Ting...”

Mo Ting held his phone to his ear. Tangningʼs voice sounded anxious with a trace of anger. So, he responded, ”I am already dealing with it. As for Huo Jingjing, Fang Yu has already organized for a doctor to see her, donʼt worry.”

”I trust you. However, I really want to go see her!” Tangning gradually calmed down.

”Wait for me to finish some stuff off. Iʼll go with you,” Mo Ting said gently. ”Later tonight, Iʼll come home and pick you up...”

”OK, Iʼll wait for you.”

After Tangning hung up, Mo Ting put down his phone. A bone-chilling glare lit up his eyes as he slammed his hands on the table in front of him. He then looked up to face Fang Yu and instructed, ”Give her an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

As soon as Fang Yu heard this he was shocked. But, he couldnʼt deny that this was Mo Ting - the true Mo Ting; the Mo Ting with an undeniable ruthlessness. Only in front of Tangning did he soften himself. So, when it came to Zhen Manni...he wasnʼt going to go easy on her. Even if she was a woman!

”However, donʼt make a move until after Hai Ruiʼs celebration dinner.”

Fang Yu roughly planned out his moves in his mind before nodding his head and leaving Mo Tingʼs office.

...

7pm. Mo Ting returned home right on time. Seeing Tangning lazing on the sofa with an unhappy expression, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked her hair.

Tangning lifted her head to look at Mo Ting and gave a relieved smile. Because, with him around, she was sure everything would be OK.

Not long after, they arrived outside Huo Jingjingʼs apartment. However, the reporters were everywhere and Tangning couldnʼt find a place to get out of the car. Originally, Long Jie wanted to get out first and provide cover for Tangning. However...Mo Ting who was sitting next to Tangning suddenly offered, ”Let me do it.”

Long Jie understood and quickly made space for the couple by moving to the side.

Upon seeing Long Jie, the reporters immediately knew who was inside the car, so they furiously started snapping photos at the car door. However, as Mo Tingʼs head appeared, his cold and handsome face sent a freezing chill in all directions. The originally snap-happy reporters swiftly took a few steps back as they grabbed onto each otherʼs arms and whispered, ”Stop taking photos...”

Afterwards, Mo Ting escorted Tangning out of the car and into Huo Jingjingʼs apartment.

The reporters wanted to follow behind, but they were too afraid. All they could do was let them go; they didnʼt dare do anything. Otherwise, their newspapers would risk being closed down.

”Itʼs so unfair that Tangning has President Mo as her manager. Whenever we want to take photos, we need to be wary of President Moʼs mood.”

”Thatʼs why I think Tangning will win her battle with Zhen Manni.”

”Regardless, we have a good show to watch soon, letʼs just wait. Since President Mo has arrived, we should stop taking photos. If we anger him, none of us will want to face the consequences.”

The reporters discussed amongst themselves. Although they all wanted to capture a huge scoop, they were wary of Mo Ting.

Not long after, Tangnign arrived at Huo Jingjingʼs front door and gave it a knock. Huo Jingjingʼs manager was cautious as she questioned their identities from behind the door. After Tangning identified herself, the door slowly opened and Huo Jingjingʼs manager invited them inside.

Upon seeing Mo Ting, Huo Jingjingʼs manager started crying without saying anything. Tangning understood as she quickly ushered her into the bathroom to compose herself.

As Huo Jingjing was hiding in her bedroom, Mo Ting did not go inside. Tangning grabbed a glass of water from the kitchen and handed it to Mo Ting. After ensuring that heʼd be alright on his own, she entered Huo Jingjingʼs bedroom.

In actual fact, as soon as Tangning lay eyes on Huo Jingjing she wanted so badly to burst out into tears. The corner of Huo Jingjingʼs lips were swollen and the cheekbone under her left eye was bloody; she was barely recognizable. However, Tangning forced herself to smile...

She actually smiled!

”Why are you here?” Huo Jingjing desperately tried to cover her face, but Tangning held onto her arm.

”In front of me, what do you have to hide?” Tangningʼs eyes slowly turned red. ”I warned you not to get involved, yet you didnʼt listen! Donʼt you know I have Mo Ting to protect me?”

”Thereʼs no point talking about this now.”

Not long after, Mo Ting appeared behind the two women. After taking a quick glance at Huo Jingjing, he said to Tangning, ”You go out first, I have something to say to Huo Jingjing.”

Tangning looked at Mo Ting confusedly.

But, Mo Ting gave her a reassuring look. So she nodded her head and stood up.

Facing Mo Ting on her own, Huo Jingjing felt a little nervous. She wanted to sit up, but Mo Ting stopped her, ”Just stay there.”

”May I ask what President Mo wants to speak to me about?”

Mo Ting had an icy-cold vibe as he spun the wedding ring on his finger, ”If you truly had good intentions for Tangning, you shouldnʼt have created a mess like this to make her worry.”

”President Mo, Iʼm sure you understand why I had to intensify their battle.”

”Did you think I would hurt Tangning in order to show fairness in Hai Rui? I donʼt put up a fake facade like that...” Mo Ting replied, ”So, itʼs not necessary for you to test me by sacrificing yourself.”

”I simply hope that Tangningʼs marriage was worth it.”

”Whether itʼs worth it, is a matter between us. As for what I decide to do, I donʼt need to report to you. Seeing you are true to Tangning, I wonʼt make a fuss about it, but...donʼt ever sacrifice yourself like this again. Hurting yourself is truly not worth it.” After speaking, Mo Ting stood up, left Huo Jingjingʼs room and returned to Tangningʼs side.

Tangning stood up from the sofa and smiled. She could roughly guess what Mo Ting talked to Huo Jingjing about.

”At the celebration dinner, I will definitely be strong for your sake,” Tangning said in a serious tone.
