Hearing the dial tone in his ear, He Shaoqi's handsome and layered face darkened again: "Damn it, you heartless bastard who only cares about women, you always hang up the phone so fast, are you in such a hurry to die?" He Shaoqi shouted angrily in the large room.

He felt that his manners would deteriorate whenever he got involved with Ling Moyuan.

Time flies, and it seems like a long time has passed in the blink of an eye. The weather hasn't been very good these past few days either, with continuous drizzle.

In the past few days, despite Su Yongkang's malicious smear campaign and suppression, Vanilla Collection continued to cancel orders one after another. By the third day, almost all orders had been cancelled. Aside from changing her dressings daily, Mo Jing returned to school and her life became extremely regular; she seemed completely unconcerned about company matters. This puzzled Su Yongkang greatly.

Their bet wasn't indefinite; it only lasted a week. How could she be so calm and composed? She even sent her capable assistant, Lin Hao, back to school to prepare for his graduation exams.

The calmer and more indifferent Mo Jing appeared, the more uncomfortable Su Yongkang felt, as if things were slipping out of his control.

...

The bell rang, and soon after, Shen Jingyuan and Wang Meimei were seen blocking the doorway, pestering Mo Jing to go shopping with them.

Although Mo Jing's actions in the Black Forest were commendable, and the school did reward her, it wasn't made public. After all, the incident involved students being murdered and others going missing, making it anything but a glorious affair.

But for Mo Jing, it didn't matter. Her selfless rescue of those students wasn't for the school's reward. Her ultimate goal was simply to win over that group of children of officials and the wealthy.

Although it's a bit underhanded, it doesn't negate the fact that Mo Jing almost lost her life to save them. While there was some personal motive involved, her move was ultimately successful. Now, the students treat Mo Jing with the same warmth and affection they would show their own mother.

Since they are all children of officials and the wealthy, they usually have some followers around them. So Mo Jing now has some of her own people at school, although they are still few.

But so what? It's not about the quantity of soldiers, but their quality.

Mo Jing was pestered by Shen Jingyuan and Wang Meimei so much that she had no choice but to go shopping with them. Xu Yan was originally going to go too, but she had been working part-time lately and couldn't get away.

...

The mall has a wide variety of clothes. Mo Jing and Wang Meimei have good figures, so they can find clothes that fit them perfectly no matter what they choose. But Shen Jingyuan is in a dilemma.

None of the clothes she liked were her size. Looking at the roll of fat around her waist, Shin Jung-won made up her mind to lose weight once again.

On the other side, Han Wenlei was wearing a handmade black suit, his handsome face full of gentle smiles. Especially when he saw the woman holding his arm, the tenderness in his eyes could melt a puddle of water.

Hu Yining wore a chiffon dress today, which, compared to the revealing red dress she wore the other day, made her look elegant and refined. A happy smile radiated from her delicate face, and seeing the way the girls passing by looked at Han Wenlei, she felt even more proud; this was her man.
