Since they were already at the school gates, Su Youran let down her guard and left the two little devils with Little Eggsh.e.l.l, "Thank you, then."
"You're welcome!"
After speaking, Little Eggsh.e.l.l glanced at her father, gesturing for him to seize the opportunity. But, Nangong Quan had no plans to make a move yet.
Su Youran turned around and saw Nangong Quan. But, she did not say a word as she headed straight for her car.
Of course, Nangong Quan had no reason to chase after her.
As Little Eggsh.e.l.l watched her father give up on his opportunity with Su Youran, she was upset with him.
He wasn't as direct as she was. But, she didn't understand that adults were more relaxed around children.
For Su Youran, apart from escorting the twins to and from school, the rest of her time was spent on studying. She had been in the military for a long period of time and felt disconnected from society. Since she was desperate to free herself from her current family, she worked hard to create value for herself.
She understood that her mother refused to get a divorce because she didn't want to drag her down. But, she didn't believe that her mother had to sacrifice herself in that way.
With this thought, Su Youran strived harder every day. Of course, this was all thanks to the payment she received from Tangning, which helped her find a way out and chase her dreams.
At that moment, Su Youran was attending a cla.s.s. Meanwhile, Nangong Quan stood outside and watched her for half an hour.
But, Su Youran didn't just attend this one cla.s.s; her schedule for the entire day was filled with cla.s.ses. It seemed, her only free time was spent on taking the two kids to and from school.
After her day was over, Su Youran returned to the home that she wanted to get away from and looked at her fake-harmonious parents.
"I heard you're a nanny for the kids of the famous celebrity, Tangning?" Father Su asked during dinner.
"En," Su Youran nodded her head.
"Does that mean your pay isn't bad? You're well aware of your mother's condition, you should contribute a bit of money from now on to help take some pressure off the family," Father Su said.
"If I remember correctly, you should have three businesses under your name, dad," Su Youran queried.
"What do you mean by that?" Father Su's expression immediately changed.
"I entered the military at a young age, so the country brought me up, not my father. As for my mother, I'm willing to pay for all her expenses, but she needs to get a divorce with you," Su Youran replied.
"Youran..."
"There's evidence of this man cheating and flirting all over the place. If we take the evidence to court, I'm sure the judge will give you half his a.s.sets."
"Let's pretend I didn't say anything tonight," Father Su cut in. He knew that his daughter wasn't joking, so he had to hold onto the mother and daughter. However, as he stood up, he couldn't help but curse his wife, "You should just die!"
Mother Su broke down in tears. As she looked at her mother, Su Youran asked, "Why won't you divorce him?"
"That's my business, not yours," Mother Su replied. "I want to cling to him for life. If I have to suffer, then let's suffer together."
"But, you don't have to cling to me as well..." Su Youran said. "If you don't leave, then I have to suffer with you. If I leave on my own, then I feel bad for you..."
At that moment, Mother Su remembered the card from Nangong Quan. She hadn't notified Su Youran's father about it yet. She knew the man would definitely sell his daughter if he had the chance.
However, she believed her daughter would have someone to rely on and wouldn't be afraid of getting bullied if she actually married Nangong Quan...
So, Mother Su met with Nangong Quan in private.
Neither Su Youran or her father knew of this.
...
Meanwhile, Tangning's meeting with Qiu Jin was confirmed. Qiu Jin specifically stated that he didn't want to see anyone from the Mo Family; he was only seeing Tangning.
So, Mo Ting naturally prepared safety measures for his wife. But, what did Qiu Jin have planned?
Obviously, this was the best chance to kidnap Tangning. He had visited the same cemetery for the last 20 years and knew every single nook and cranny.
Since Tangning was delivering herself to him, he wasn't going to hold back.
"Elder Qiu, we will have our men outside these exits. Kidnapping Tangning will be child's play," Qiu Jin's subordinate said as he pointed to the cemetery's map.
"As long as we watch over the entry, no one will be able to enter!"
"Let's do that then," Qiu Jin agreed. "The Mo Couple are tricky. Make sure you stay alert at all times."
"Since we couldn't kidnap the two rascals, kidnapping his precious wife isn't a bad option either."
"If we succeed this time, it would be a good consolation for my dead wife and child."
But, who said it was that easy to go up against Tangning? Even if Qiu Jin's men were scattered throughout the cemetery and even if every entry/exit was sealed off, no one could stop President Mo from getting into a place that he wanted to get into.
...
Soon, 'Parasite', which was being directed by Bai Junye, began their intense filming. At the same time, 'The Ant Queen 2' quickly prepared their resources. This was practically a film fan's dream. Because of Tangning's determination, sci-fi films were continuously moving towards further improvement. Hence, Tangning's status in everyone's hearts, naturally went up another level.
At this time, there was another piece of good news. After resting at home for one month after giving birth, Lin Qian officially announced her return to Superstar Media and that the agency was resuming operation. In other words, she was taking over Tangning's job of digging up forgotten talent.
Meanwhile, Long Jie returned home to prepare for labor. Tangning was currently in no need of an a.s.sistant, so Lu Che was already enough to lend her a hand.
During this time, Fang Yu stepped up to help Mo Ting, while Lu Che spent more time helping Tangning.
The current entertainment industry was flouris.h.i.+ng. While newcomers debuted every day, old artists also stepped down. Gossip continued to spread and artists continued to fight amongst each other, but none of that had anything to do with Tangning anymore. After all, her status was already beyond that of a mere artist, producer or actress. She was a symbol of good film and the reintroduction of sci-fi. This made her a very important figure in the industry.
And, of course, Mo Ting was the one that created this important figure!
But, no one knew about the things that were happening behind-the-scenes. In particular, they had no idea that Tangning was currently plotting against an enemy...
