"Uncle, Aunt, please let me see Xiao Mo. I know I've wronged him, but I didn't mean to. I was threatened." Tong Yao knelt at the Zhang family's gate, tears streaming down her face, and said pitifully.

Zhang Guoli stared at the girl, whose eyes were bruised and swollen, without saying a word.

Feng Lazi glanced at Tong Yao: "The Zhang family doesn't welcome you, and Xiao Mo won't see you either. If you want to kneel, then kneel."

After saying that, he pulled Zhang Guoli inside and slammed the door shut.

Tong Yao gritted her teeth and stood up.

........

Zhang Guoli's home.

Zhang Guoli and Zhang Mo sat facing each other, while Feng Lazi watched the father and son with great concern, fearing that they might start fighting.

"What's wrong with you? How could you hit someone? And do it right in front of the Central Academy of Drama? Are you crazy? Don't you have any shame? Now that things have gotten so out of hand, what are we going to do?" Zhang Guoli looked at his son angrily. He felt incredibly ashamed about what had happened. His anger wasn't about anything else; for a woman, there are plenty of ways to get back at him. But this son physically assaulted someone and got caught on camera by the media. He'd ruined his own future.

He didn't actually think his son's actions were excessive. Normally, if someone hit someone, that would be the end of it. Zhang Guoli might even have supported his son. However, their whole family are celebrities. This could easily escalate into a major scandal.

His son's impulsive act could very well ruin his future.

Of course, he is more worried now.

Zhang Mo remained silent.

Feng Lazi, standing to the side, tugged at Zhang Guoli's sleeve: "You can't blame Xiao Mo for this. That Tong Yao is a scumbag. She has no shame. She dated Xiao Mo and cheated on him. She's a complete green tea b*tch. You hit her, so what? Why are you criticizing Xiao Mo? You should have just figured out how to smooth things over. Xiao Mo, don't be angry. It's a good thing we didn't marry a girl like that. We can find another good one. There are plenty of good girls out there. But you were a bit impulsive this time. It was definitely wrong of you to hit her."

Zhang Mo stood up and walked out without saying a word.

Zhang Guoli looked at his son with a headache and sighed.

"Why......"

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Shen Fang, Huang Bin, Wang Gang, Chen Daoming, Feng Kuzi, and others arrived.

"Old Zhang, President Shen and the others are here."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoli immediately got up and came out of the house.

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, you don't seem to be in a good mood."

Zhang Guoli forced a smile: "Xiao Fang, Director Huang, Lao Feng, Lao Wang, Lao Chen, you've arrived. Deng Jie, quickly make some tea. We have distinguished guests, so make yourselves at home."

Everyone entered the living room.

"Please sit down, please sit down."

Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie quickly greeted everyone.

Shen Fang waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, Uncle Zhang, where's Xiao Mo?"

Zhang Guoli said with a bitter expression, "I don't know where he has run off to. This child doesn't listen to me at all."

Wang Gang patted his buddies on the shoulder: "We've all heard about this. We know you're feeling down, so we came over to cheer you up."

"Oh, this is so embarrassing!!!" Zhang Guoli sighed.

Feng Kuzi smiled and said, "Alright, what's so shameful about it? I asked around about that girl, and she's not someone to be trifled with. Luckily, we found out early. If your Xiao Mo had married her, that would have been truly shameful. It's a good thing, you should be happier."

Zhang Guoli rolled his eyes: "Can't you wish me well for once?"

Chen Daoming handed Zhang Guoli a cigarette: "This is nothing serious. Xiao Fang has already spoken to you and asked Xiao Mo to lay low for a while and take a break from school. Once things have calmed down, he can go back to school. Let's leave it at that for now."

Zhang Guoli looked at Chen Fang and said, "Xiao Fang, thank you."

Shen Fang waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, it's a small matter. The problem now is that Tong Yao will continue to cause trouble. We need to deal with this girl. Uncle Zhang, have you met this girl?"

Deng Jie leaned closer: "Xiao Mao brought her home once before. The first time I saw her, I felt that this girl was not the kind to be trifled with, and she didn't seem very likable. But I didn't dare to say anything. Only Lao Zhang thought that girl was alright."

Zhang Guoli was speechless: "What do you mean by 'okay'? This isn't the first time Xiao Mo has brought a girl home. What can I say? What dare I say? He's like my own father at home. I'm like his son."

Zhang Guoli felt deeply guilty towards his son. He hadn't cared for him since he was a child, and later remarried. He and Deng Jie had been married for many years but didn't have any children, simply because they were afraid of upsetting Zhang Mo.

"Uncle, you have to handle this yourself. Just talk to that girl directly, make the situation clear, give her a warning, and that will put the matter at rest."

Zhang Guoli nodded: "I know that too. Actually, that kid came over today and even knelt at our door to beg Xiao Mo for forgiveness, but I didn't let her in. I was a bit angry too. What was she thinking? If she really wanted some resources, would I not try to find a way to help her? Doing something like this and dragging my Xiao Mo into it is really shameful."

Chen Daoming smiled and said, "That's where her brilliance lies. She and Xiao Mo aren't even married yet, and asking for resources now just makes her seem opportunistic."

"This kind of woman is just being petty. She wants both fame and fortune, and she's even trying to pull some dirty tricks. She ends up losing more than she gains. She's too impatient."

Feng Kuzi grinned widely: "This kind of thing is all too common in this industry, but I heard she's only a freshman. The little girl's pretty cunning. Tsk, the girls in this industry these days are really something..."

Shen Fang smiled: "The world of fame and fortune, it's all too common."

"Guoli!!! Something's happened!!!" Deng Jie rushed over anxiously, looking at Zhang Guoli.
