0.15% Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard / Chapter 2: Striking Back at the Cheating Couple

Chapter 2: Striking Back at the Cheating Couple

And thus began the fall of a supermodel...

But, from the looks of it, Tangning's story did not end there.

...

In all honesty, Tangning had never realized she was so brave - she had actually married a stranger! But, what was done was done, she would never regret her decision.

Tangning returned to her car. Just as she was about to start the engine and head home, she received a phone call from Han Yufan.

"Tangning...where are you right now?"

"In front of the Civil Affairs Office, about to go home," Tangning replied casually, hiding her emotions.

"Yurou has a very important show...I need you to substitute her immediately. I'll tell the makeup artist to provide you with a mask - no one will be able to tell it is you," Han Yufan ordered with the tone of a superior. "Since Yurou is injured, you will have to suffer a little..."

"Didn't you say Miss Mo got hurt on stage? In that case, the media should already know she is at the hospital..."

"But, I have already asked someone to let it slip that she will still be attending even with her injuries. I told you to go, so go!"

He was so shameless. In the past, Tangning had already done stupid things like this for Mo Yurou.

As it seems, she was being used. However, she wasn't going to continue this way!

Tangning stayed calm and nodded, "OK, let me know the time and address, I'll head over there now."

"Tangning, we are about to get married. Help give Yurou a bit of a boost, her career is currently on the rise."

"I'll give her a boost for sure..." Tangning responded with a hidden meaning.

"I'll hang up then. Let's have dinner later."

Han Yufan had no idea the tables had turned, presumably now, he would be sitting by Mo Yurou's bedside, watching over his lover tenderly...Tangning hung up the phone before giving her manager a call. Her manager immediately responded in anger:

"President Han wants you to step in for that B-Grade model? Is he joking? If you didn't decide to retreat from the spotlight, she would not even survive in the industry."

"Long Jie, I've already agreed..." Tangning replied calmly.

"Do you really have to go?" Her manager was about to spew blood in disbelief. Tangning and Mo Yurou were both models signed under Tianyi Entertainment, but because of Tangning's decision to retreat, her manager was dragged down with her and ridiculed.

Tangning knew her manager wanted to stick up for her injustice. Reassuringly she responded, "I won't be that stupid anymore, I will not let them use me!"

After hearing those words from Tangning, her manager's face lit up, "So, are you saying you have a plan?"

"Long Jie, from now on I can only trust in you, can you help me do something?"

"Speak." Her manager was loyal to her. After all, they shared the same objective.

"Mo Yurou is so desperate to convince the media that she is attending the show even with her injuries because she doesn't want it to impact her eligibility for the 'Top Ten Model Awards'. Help me pay a visit to Tian He Hospital."

"I see what you're getting at. Obtain evidence that she was still at the hospital during the show and reveal it to the public!" the manager smiled excitedly.

"No, I have bigger news. She's pregnant! and the child is Han Yufan's. Also, help me prepare a statement stating that Han Yufan has used me multiple times to substitute Mo Yurou during her shows. As for which shows? I will need you to help me find evidence for that."

The manager was surprised at first, but quickly understood why Tangning's attitude had changed. Such a shameless cheating couple! Not only did they cheat, but they also used Tangning - ordering her around like a puppet.

"Don't worry Tangning, I will help you do all these things."

Tangning did not respond. She felt unusually calm. She was going to treat them like they had treated her!

After clearing her thoughts, Tangning quickly gathered her belongings and drove herself over to the venue for the show to meet up with Mo Yurou's assistant.

He was a married man with a strong bulky physique and a cunning personality.

He was reasonably polite to Tangning. Even though she was no longer famous, the Tang family was still not one to be looked down upon.

"What took you so long? Quick...come and get your makeup done..."

"What type of show is it today?" Tangning asked as she was hurried down the hallway.

"Nothing special!" the assistant replied. In fact, it was actually a jewelry show for the famous French brand: hf...

After this show, Mo Yurou would have the opportunity to sign on as hf's spokesperson. Originally, Mo Yurou would have lost her opportunity due to her injuries, but with Han Yufan's suggestion of using Tangning, Mo Yurou certainly had no objections.

Actually, on her way to the show, Tangning had already done her research on today's show: The Crown's Star Jewelry Show.

Mo Yurou's assistant had intentionally lied to her. Had she always been this easy to trick?

"Thanks to Yurou's current status, you have your own makeup room. You will appear in the grand finale and this is the piece of jewelry you will be presenting today. Here is the schedule..." the assistant explained as he pointed to the jewelry on the stage. He then ordered the makeup artist to start applying Tangning's makeup.

Did Han Yufan really think that by giving her a mask, people would not be able to tell it's her?

Although what she had in mind was quite extreme, she was going to give the cheating couple a surprise of a lifetime.

Meanwhile, Mo Ting's assistant had been following Tangning's every move and overheard that she would be substituting Mo Yurou in the show. Immediately he reported everything to Mo Ting. As soon as Mo Ting found out, he ordered his assistant, "I am going to hf's jewelry show. Make arrangements immediately!"

"Yes, president!"

This wasn't a particularly special show, but he wanted to see Tangning in action.

...

11am, classical music resounded off the walls of the Hai Yi Centre, the show had begun.

Inside the makeup room, Tangning's makeup was complete and she was now standing in front of the mirror in anticipation. Wearing a white tight-fitting long dress, simple but classy, adorning a beautiful golden mask giving off a mysterious aura, hair tied back away from her face with a single white rose - she was absolutely stunning...

The assistant was speechless. Inside he was thinking: Even if Tangning was to stand still, she would surely attract the attention of everyone around her. Mo Yurou will get the contract for certain!

"You will descend onto the stage via a chair that will be lowered from above. This bracelet here is the Crown's Star, let me put it on for you." The assistant unclasped the bracelet and carefully put it on Tangning. However...Tangning was slimmer than Mo Yurou, resulting in the bracelet being too big. With a lift of her arm, the bracelet would slide around...

This bracelet was designed by the founder of hf for his beloved daughter. In the middle of the golden bracelet was a crown encrusted with white diamond. On the two sides of the crown were two stars made from a pure and immaculate white gemstone - just like two parents protecting their precious child.

"There's no way for you to wear it...what should I do?"

"Do you trust me?" Tangning suddenly asked Mo Yurou's assistant.

"At this moment, I can only trust you," the assistant nodded. Without a solution, he could only trust the model. This was Yurou's opportunity at being a spokesperson, if he messed it up, President Han would definitely fire him.

"In that case, leave it with me..." Tangning reassured.

"Hurry, get ready...you will be going on stage soon!"

Amongst all the commotion, the assistant did not take notice of the look in Tangning's eyes.


CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Yunyi Yunyi

Wow, I can't believe everyone around Tangning has been using her for all this time. I wonder what Mo Ting's reaction will be when he sees her at the show.

This novel is published in serial form. The release schedule is 2 chapters a day, 1 at 9am and 1 at 2pm (server time +8).

Chapter 3: Suspected of Creating Hype

Tangning smiled as she gave a nod before lifting up her dress slightly and running towards the back of the stage. With her mask on, if you were to point out one distinguishing feature between Tangning and Mo Yurou, it would have to be Tangning's legs. Tangning's legs were once known as one of the most beautiful legs in the world.

Just as everyone thought the show had reached it's climax, Tangning descended gracefully to the stage on a chair. All the spotlights immediately focused on her...

...but

...the Crown's Star was nowhere to be seen...

What had happened?

Everyone present ran around frantically looking for the Crown's Star, they even searched Tangning all over. Because of this, many people couldn't help but notice her lovely pale long legs...

Legs so beautiful, they were unforgettable...

Just as everyone was about to give up, a smile appeared from behind the mysterious golden mask. Tangning elegantly raised her arm, tilted her head backwards and lifted her left leg which was facing the audience - striking a beautiful dance pose. At that moment, out from under the white dress and down her smooth legs, the Crown's Star appeared around Tangning's ankle sparkling magnificently.

Wow...

Everyone froze in amazement at the scene in front of them. The sight of Tangning lying on the chair seamlessly moving from one pose to the next was unforgettable. Most impressive of all, every single pose Tangning pulled, the Crown's Star would be presented in a different light; showing off it's beauty over and over again...

The audience rose to their feet and gave Tangning a standing ovation...

Amongst the crowd, in a high but hidden position, Mo Ting's gaze was focused on Tangning. His new wife, once Beijing's top model, was here standing in on behalf of a B-Grade model.

There was no denying it, no matter if it was 3 years ago or 3 years later, she was still the same model - born for the runway...

After Tangning's final pose, the show came to a satisfying end. hf's founder was extremely impressed with her performance. Of course, he wasn't aware the model on stage was Tangning; he still believed it was Mo Yurou.

He appeared from behind the stage and approached Tangning. Like a gentleman, he offered his hand, helping Tangning off her chair and led her to the front of the runway as they bowed thankfully to the audience.

"Thank you everyone, and of course, thank you Miss Mo for a spectacular performance, it was certainly impressive."

Tangning stayed silent. She just simply responded with a bow. When suddenly, from the front of the runway came a high-pitched voice, "She isn't Mo Yurou, I've seen Mo Yurou in real life and she does not have such long legs!"

At that moment, everyone was stunned as they looked up and down Tangning's legs with doubt, "If you are indeed Mo Yurou, then remove your mask. If you are not, then Tianyi Entertainment are a bunch of liars!"

Sounds of doubt multiplied and grew louder. Even the designers of hf were beginning to question whether the woman in front of them was Mo Yurou.

"Miss Mo, please remove your mask..." The designers were curious. Was she really Mo Yurou? If she really wasn't then their collaboration with Tianyi Entertainment would have to come to an end.

Tangning hesitated, but she was already surrounded. With no other choice, she slowly removed her mask. At that moment, everyone held their breath. At the sight of her face, some recognized her immediately as the once famed model...

"It's Tangning!"

It was rumored that after Tangning was blacklisted, her status had completely deteriorated. She was even worse off than unsigned models. Who would have thought she would stoop so low as to step in for someone else. Was she deliberately creating hype or was she forced due to her current situation?

"Tangning, it's actually Tangning." The reporters quickly surrounded Tangning, giving her no room to escape.

"Miss Tang, could you please explain the current situation? Mo Yurou was the one that was invited to appear in today's show, but how come it turned out to be you?"

"From what we know, you were blacklisted 3 years ago. Are you trying to take this opportunity to announce a comeback?"

"As a once-famous model, are you trying to take Mo Yurou's jobs? Are you taking advantage of her being injured and stealing her opportunity to be a spokesperson?"

"It's obvious you are just trying to create hype. I knew it. Mo Yurou was already injured, how could she possibly attend the show. Famous supermodel my a**! More like famous superCHEAPmodel!"

The reporter's questions got more and more intense, in fact, some were already spouting insults.

"Outdated cheap model..."

"Yurou should be the spokesperson, give it back to her!"

Tangning was slowly forced to retreat as the reporters surrounded her. Some even pushed her. At this moment, hf added to the insults, "I am going to sue Tianyi Entertainment, what you are doing here is blatantly lying! I asked for Mo Yurou, instead, you gave me a 3rd-rate model." The designer had no idea how famous Tangning was 3 years ago. All he knew was that he had not seen this model appear anywhere in recent years.

"As for you, I'll see you in court! But, for now, get lost! You do not deserve to be standing on my runway!" he yelled.

The sharp voice echoed through the building, even the reporters were surprised. No model would just stand there and let someone yell at them like that.

"Why are you still here? Get lost!"

Tangning already prepared herself for this moment, but still struggled to hold back the humiliation. It was at that moment, a deep, attractive voice resounded from the end of the stage, "Yes, someone should get lost indeed..."

In surprise, the reporters turned to where the voice was coming from. There, standing at the end of the stage was Mo Ting. Everyone's eyes opened wide in shock...Isn't this the CEO of Hai Rui Entertainment? Why is he here?

Most importantly, why is he standing on the stage? It was a well-known fact that Mo Ting despised artists that played mind games. Tangning is digging her own grave. This time even Hai Rui can't help but step out from behind the sidelines.

Everyone held their breath, certain that Tangning was out of luck. But to their surprise, Mo Ting walked over to Tangning and stood by her side. With the intimidating tone of a king, he turned to the designer and continued, "...but, she is not the one that should get lost...it is you!"

"I could make hf disappear from Beijing if I want to. Your manners appear to be on a different level to your jewelry."

Tangning's heartbeat stopped for a moment. Who would have thought...her new husband, who she had only met for the third time, would stand up for her.

All the reporters were stunned as they began to worry. Had they known earlier that Tangning had ties with Hai Rui, they wouldn't have been so rude.

hf's designer was not impressed, but he knew he could not offend Hai Rui International. After a few moments of silence, he reluctantly apologized, "Sorry, President Mo. I didn't know of your relationship with..."

"You are wrong, I have no relations with her. I'm just simply...questioning your character!" Mo Ting denied his relation to Tangning and began to walk away. But before he left, he turned around and announced to the reporters, "There is, however, one thing I cannot deny. She will definitely become a rising star in the modeling industry!"


CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Yunyi Yunyi

It was so sweet of Mo Ting to stick up for Tangning. Does he see something in her that others don't? They've only met for the third time, yet he is not doubting her like everyone else. Can't wait for their relationship to develop.
