The fans' interrogations got louder and louder as passersby started to take photos and discuss what was going on. They felt Tangning was shameless - to them Mo Yurou's character was much more trustworthy.
Tangning was completely surrounded, leaving her with no room to escape. So, instead, she calmed herself down and removed her sunglasses, revealing her bare face to the public, "If you want me to answer your questions, I can do that, but first, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Go ahead." The anti-fans looked at Tangning wondering what trick she had up her sleeves.
"You say you are my fans, so can you tell me, what year did I debut, what year did I receive awards and what awards were they?"
After hearing her questions, the anti-fans looked blankly at each other. How could they know this information about Tangning - they despised her.
"We...we are new fans. Regardless, you threw our gifts on the floor, so you are in the wrong," one of them responded.
"Whether or not I threw the flowers on the floor, even if I was to not explain, I'm sure the airport's cameras would have captured everything. But, I already apologized immediately after dropping them, I'm sure everyone heard. I've also previously acknowledged, within the industry, there is still much to learn from Yurou. So, what else are you not happy with?" Tangning spoke gently, not forceful at all, but straight to the point. This girl that was causing trouble definitely wasn't her fan. It was obvious she was the fan of Mo Yurou, who's name hung to her lips.
The fact that Tangning had already apologized and responded with a modest attitude, the majority of passersby were starting to change their minds...they felt that Mo Yurou's fans were petty and had gone too far.
"Fine, it's true, I am also a fan of Yurou's. We just feel you don't deserve to be compared to her. On top of everything, you even stole her contract, you should return it to her!" After speaking, the anti-fan started to push Tangning. Tangning staggered and almost fell. Luckily...the bodyguards Mo Ting sent arrived just in time, squeezing through the crowd to hold onto her. They also started to separate the crowd from Tangning.
Long Jie couldn't hold in her anger anymore. She stood between the anti-fans and Tangning as she turned her head slightly, "You go ahead first and wait for me, I'll be right there."
"OK." As usual, Tangning didn't argue. She just simply put her sunglasses back on.
"Hmmph! If you don't give us an explanation today and don't return the contract back to Yurou, don't even think about boarding the plane." The anti-fans warned as they linked their hands forming a human barrier.
"Do you really believe in Mo Yurou's character that much?" Long Jie asked with a deeper meaning.
"It's definitely better than that of your cheap model's."
"These words, I've recorded it..." Long Jie raised her phone, "When the time is right, I'll send you all a huge gift." Long Jie placed the phone to her head and called the police. The police immediately arrived to escort Tangning away from the crowd with the help of Mo Ting's bodyguards. Tangning quickly disappeared from the view of the public, but before the police left she whispered something to them.
"Tangning, Mo Yurou has made the news about you stealing her contract the number one discussion," Long Jie looked at her phone as she spoke.
"Then, what are you waiting for? Release the video..." Tangning replied while walking.
"I've been waiting for this moment...now those fans can see, whether their goddess is an innocent lady or a sl*t!" After speaking, Long Jie phoned a reporter friend, "Post up the video we prepared earlier."
Han Yufan, let's see how many times you can save Mo Yurou!
...
Tianyi Entertainment's Artists' Resting Lounge. Mo Yurou was celebrating that the discussion she started had hit number one. On top of that, she received photos from her fans of the scene at the airport; Tangning had been pushed to the point where she couldn't even fight back - it completely satisfied her hatred. She wanted Tangning to have a taste of what it's like to steal her contract. This was only one of the consequences, the worst was yet to come.
"Yurou, after this heated incident, I'm sure you will get even better deals than the one offered by hf," her assistant flattered as he massaged her shoulder.
"Of course! I have to secure a place at the Top Ten Model Awards!" Mo Yurou smiled confidently, her confidence was due to the fact that Han Yufan had reassured her earlier on. As promised, Han Yufan appeared at the doorway all of a sudden holding a contract to discuss with her.
"Quick, my Top Ten Model, a big advertisement is here, let's hold a meeting immediately."
Mo Yurou nodded her head; she was exceptionally pleased as she headed into the meeting room to discuss the details.
"Although Yurou lost the contract with hf, she has managed to secure a deal with an international makeup brand. She is indeed Tianyi Entertainment's precious gem!" Han Yufan showered Mo Yurou with praises, "As for Tangning, from now on, if anyone asks for her, respond by telling them she is getting married and won't be taking any more jobs."
After hearing these words, Mo Yurou's smile grew even larger. However...just as the two were conversing with their eyes, Han Yufan suddenly received a phone call. At first, he had a smile plastered across his face, but afterwards, the smile disappeared, "Mr. Blair, how could you cancel the contract all of a sudden?"
"The indecent video of you and Mo Yurou has already gone viral, I am extremely ashamed of the two of you. What rubbish!" with that, he hung up the phone angrily.
"What happened?" Mo Yurou asked.
"The advertiser has requested for a solution to something." While he was speaking, Han Yufan pulled out his phone - at the top of search rankings was a video of him and Mo Yurou in the hospital bed getting intimate! This time it wasn't just a photo, it was a video! It was a video that they couldn't deny! Seeing his reaction, Mo Yurou immediately stormed over and grabbed the phone from his hand. Upon seeing the video...
...she was so stunned, she dropped the phone onto the floor, "How could this happen? How...?"
Everyone in the meeting room immediately picked up their phones to see what was going on, while Mo Yurou, like being caught on-the-spot cheating, started yelling at everyone, "Don't look! Don't search!"
"It's over...everything's over..." Han Yufan angrily plopped down into his chair, "Who is it exactly that is trying to go against me!"
Apart from Tianyi Entertainment's internal departments, Mo Yurou's official page was also in an uproar. It was only today that they put all their trust in Mo Yurou and stormed over to insult Tangning, but...now they felt like they had been slapped across the face.
At this time, Long Jie and Tangning had already boarded their flight. Long Jie was logged into Mo Yurou's fan club, watching as the anti-fans self-destructed, "I never thought Mo Yurou would be so cheap, while we unknowingly idolized her, we must have been blind. From now on...I've lost all respect for her."
"Me too..."
"Me too..."
"We should take the initiative and prove Tangning's innocence. At the airport, we had deliberately insulted her, she must have known. However, she never tried to get back at us. Instead, while the police were stopping us, she even told them not to hurt us...I heard it all, but I didn't announce it!" one of the fans said guiltily.
"Also, Tangning's schedule was given to us by Mo Yurou's assistant, we need to post about this."
After seeing the discussions, Long Jie's mouth was curving from ear to ear...so satisfying!
That sl*t and jerk must be running around in a panic right now.
"Tangning, why are you so smart? I really love you," Long Jie wrapped Tangning in a hug as she planted a kiss on her cheek.
"But, I don't love you..." Tangning replied, looking down at Long Jie teasingly.
"Then who do you love? President Mo?"
Tangning was indeed thinking of Mo Ting and was especially missing his kisses...habit, definitely was a scary thing, especially poisonous habits.
I wonder if Han Yufan and Mo Yurou will recover from this. Has Tangning won the battle for good?
In an instant, Han Yufan and Mo Yurou's news became the talk of the town; their previous efforts with PR had been completely overturned. Since Han Yufan and Tangning were an engaged couple, the video revealed Mo Yurou was a third party that had stepped in between the two, so she quickly became a hated homewrecker that everyone cursed under their breaths.
At this time, a member of the media stepped out to reveal that the Crown's Star substitute incident was all Han Yufan and Mo Yurou's idea and Tangning was forced to innocently take on all the blame.
The netizens were in an uproar.
Later that day...even bigger news was released regarding the incident at the airport.
Tangning was previously criticized for disrespecting her fans, resulting in disgust from passersby. But, after Mo Yurou's indecent video was released...Mo Yurou's Official Fan Page posted up a statement clearing the entire incident of Tangning's fault. It was revealed that the fans had planned the entire incident beforehand and they even pointed out it was all because they wanted to stick up for Mo Yurou. Luckily, they had now realized, the idol they were protecting, was not worth it.
On top of everything, evidence was posted up of Mo Yurou's assistant privately providing details of Tangning's schedule to the fan club. Records of the discussions that took place in planning for what happened at the airport was also posted.
In the end, a clarification letter on behalf of Tangning was released clearly explaining that Tangning hadn't thrown the flowers on the floor. They also praised Tangning for being polite and sincerely apologizing even though she knew she was being slandered. Most importantly, when she was being protected by the police, she caringly asked the police not to be so rough, in case they hurt someone.
This was released by Mo Yurou's Offical Fan Club, which meant Mo Yurou's fan club had now become a defeated army. Even her biggest fans had now turned their back on her, how was anyone to trust Mo Yurou ever again? The media continued to be negative, fans stepped all over her, even companies that had previously used Mo Yurou as a spokesperson immediately took down their ads and sent out letters from their lawyers.
Seeing all this, Mo Yurou knew...she was over...she was completely over!
"Yurou, you need to remain calm. You still have the child in your stomach. With this child, you don't have to be afraid that President Han won't obediently listen to you. Even if in the end, you can no longer be a famous model, at least, you can still be the wife of Tianyi's CEO." Mo Yurou's assistant tried to calm her down after seeing her throw everything on the floor, "Don't damage your body, there's still a long road ahead."
Hearing this, Mo Yurou agreed with her assistant's reasoning. Even if Tangning was to make a comeback, so what? With the child in her stomach, she still had a chance to win.
...
As soon as she stepped off the plane, Tangning received a phone call from Mo Ting. Long Jie also immediately searched up the progress of the ongoing battle. Their odds were looking good, it didn't seem like the tramp had any chance of a comeback.
"Should I congratulate my wife on a victorious battle?" Mo Ting was sitting on his office chair as the contours of his face were highlighted by the rays of sunlight coming in through his office window. He looked handsome as usual.
Tangning laughed gently and responded with a cheeky voice, "Must you congratulate me every time I make a move?"
"Can't you tell? I'm just looking for an excuse to give you a call..."
Tangning's heart fluttered. "Too bad I can't come home tonight," she responded in a quiet whisper.
"If you tell me you miss me, there might be a miracle," Mo Ting teased. "Do you want to try?"
"Even if there was no miracle, I would still miss you," Tangning replied seriously, but because she was embarrassed, she hung up the phone before Mo Ting could give a response. On the other side of the phone, Mo Ting gave a muffled laugh as he immediately called Lu Che on the intercom.
"Help me organize flights to Liusen, as soon as possible. While you're at it, pack all the documents I need to sign so I can take them onto the plane with me."
Tangning had no idea there would be a surprise.
After disembarking the plane, she went straight to the location of her shoot. As her contract included print ads, even though it was already night, she still entered the studio.
Alongside her, there were a few foreign models that would be in the ad as well. Every one of them were extremely professional. Upon seeing Tangning standing around with no expression, the photographer was suddenly worried whether she would be able to meet expectations. The print ad required the model to be snapped in the spur of the moment and had a high degree of difficulty. Within a second, the model had to express emotions that suit the product; this was a real test of a model's acting abilities.
Unfortunately, Tangning's body was hidden by the long dress she was wearing, so no one could see her positive features. It was not until she changed and stepped out that everyone could finally see her perfectly proportioned body. Everyone in the studio was stunned, whether it was her height or her measurements, everything met international standards.
With her casual black patterned A-line dress, paired with a sleeveless dark denim jacket, she was completely exuding sexiness.
But her expression...
The photographer was still worried, so immediately walked over to Tangning to explain, "The photos we are taking today will have a slightly wild style, like a wild cat out for a stroll at night..."
"I understand," Tangning nodded calmly.
The photographer didn't explain any further. Asian models have always been of this quality, there is no point expecting too much.
"Come, everyone get in position. Let's start with some solo photos, Jason!"
The models that were called each walked up to stand in front of the screen. Quickly and professionally, they all completed their shots - Tangning was last. Because she was last, she was under extra pressure. After all, in terms of appearance, she couldn't compare to the foreigners. If her acting wasn't up to speed, the whole shoot could easily be foiled.
"Tangning!"
Upon hearing the photographer's call, Tangning walked in front of the screen wearing hf's bracelet from their 'Charming Night' collection. The photographer continuously explained how she should pose to achieve a wild look, but Tangning just smiled as she nodded understandingly. One thing the photographer hated the most was people that pretended they understood when they didn't. So, he spoke a few words before grabbing his camera and taking a few steps back, "Let's just try a few test shots to see how it turns out."
"No, it's OK, let's just do it," Tangning requested.
Seeing her confidence, the photographer anticipated seeing a joke. In aggravation, he warned, "You asked for it. Once I start, there won't be a second chance."
"OK," Tangning answered in her usual calmness.
The other models all felt Tangning was digging her own grave; she was obviously given a chance yet...she didn't want it, what is she thinking?
"Then, let's get started..." The photographer waved as he looked at Tangning without much expectation.
Tangning nodded, then...
...while everyone was gathered around waiting to watch her embarrass herself...in a split second she entered into a different state of mind, surprising all onlookers. They watched as she naturally spread her legs apart, wrapped her left hand around her right hand's wrist and gently spread apart her lips. As she bit the middle finger of her left hand, in an instant, everyone was stunned by the look in her eyes - it was so threatening...compared to the weak persona she had earlier on, it was like she had turned into a completely different person!
What impressed everyone the most, was the bracelet on her wrist, which appeared to be supplying her with this wild energy - she and the product went perfectly together, like they had completely fused into one...
The photographer was speechless...where did hf find this gem? This level of professionalism is comparable to that of an international supermodel.
It's always fun trying to describe Tangning's poses. The poetic flow of the author's words are always a bit of a challenge to translate but I hope I managed to portray the image well.
