“He’s not here. It’s Uncle Chu’s birthday in a few days, and Mrs. Chu asked me to go with her to pick out a birthday present, that’s all.” Gan Tang finished dressing and threw the blanket onto Mo Huaixing. “Can you let me go now, you jealous king?”
"Isn't there still an hour and a half left?"
"Doesn't the past need time?" Gan Tang was speechless.
"Then kiss me."
"What a fool." She was stupid too. The bed was so big, there was nowhere she couldn't get off, why did she have to ask him? Gan Tang went around to the foot of the bed and got off.
Mo Huaixing stood up and pulled the person back.
Gan Tang turned around and warned, "You better behave yourself."
Mo Huaixing said pitifully, "I'll take you there."
"Alright then!" Gan Tang kissed him.
In the car, Gan Tang looked at the message Tian Tian had sent on her phone and then looked at the man beside her. "Mo Huaixing, I'd like to ask Tian Tian to go shopping with me. What do you think? Tian Tian is my best friend who I grew up with. She's definitely a reliable person."
“I remember her.” Mo Huaixing turned to look at Gan Tang. “Missing old friends?”
"Of course I want to. It's mainly because she hasn't been doing well at work lately. When her boss wasn't around, the boss gave her a task, which she did quite well, and the boss praised her a few times. Then her boss started making things difficult for her, and her colleagues are also isolating her, so I want to help her."
At this point, Gan Tang became somewhat saddened, "After all, if I die here, I'll have to trouble her to take care of my parents."
Mo Huaixing thought for a moment and said, "It should be fine. Originally, Mr. Fu was worried that you had ulterior motives, but now he's not worried at all."
“Then I’ll contact her and have her come over,” Gan Tang happily sent a WeChat message.
"A last-minute appointment, are you free?"
"Yes, I asked her a couple of days ago."
Mo Huaixing said with dissatisfaction, "Since you already have a plan, why are you asking me?"
"I feel more at ease after asking you. It wouldn't be good if I caused her trouble."
That nonchalant demeanor, as if his own existence made her feel very safe, was something Mo Huaixing appreciated.
"Gantang!"
"Hmm?" Gan Tang looked up at him after sending the message.
Mo Huaixing said, "If I die, the compensation will probably be close to 1 million. If we are frugal, it should be enough for my parents-in-law to live out their old age."
"Pah!" Gan Tang spat angrily. "If you dare to die, I'll take your money and find a man. I'll change him every day and show him off at your grave every day, so you won't be able to sleep peacefully even in death."
"Fine, fine, fine, I won't say anything more." It's true what they say, "Only the magistrate is allowed to set fires, while the common people are forbidden even to light lamps." Suddenly, Mo Huaixing looked at Gan Tang, his smile carrying a deeper meaning: "If you want to use my pension, shouldn't we get a marriage certificate first?"
"You still dare to talk back." Gan Tang raised her fist and swung it at him.
Because of this remark, Gan Tang blushed. When she saw Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Chu kept praising her for her good complexion, which made her blush even more.
After shopping with Mrs. Chu and Tian Tian, it was already getting dark. Yuan Biao came to pick her up to go back to Qinglong Bay. Not wanting the Qinglong Gang to remember Tian Tian, Gan Tang didn't take her home, but instead sent her a message from the car.
Gan: Remember to post some of the pictures we took today on your WeChat Moments.
Tian: I haven't posted on WeChat Moments in a long time.
Gan: Then let's start sending them today.
Tian Tian sent her a "Yes, ma'am" emoji, and Gan Tang continued to message her.
Gan: If anyone at the company asks you about your relationship with Mrs. Chu tomorrow, just say she's an elder in your family, and don't say anything else.
Tian: ? ? ? Someone actually asked this?
Even if no one in her circle of friends knew Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Chu's attire was easily recognizable to those who loved to compare themselves to others, so how could no one ask about it? But Gan Tang didn't say much, only instructing her to do as she was told.
Back in Qinglong Bay, Gan Tang carried large bags of things back to the villa. Because she had bought things for Mo Huaixing, she took a detour through the small path behind the villa and walked towards Mo Huaixing's room.
Indistinctly, two patrolmen were standing under a tree chatting.
"Hey, have you heard? Master Mo's casinos have all gone bankrupt. Apparently, it was Young Master Cheng who was behind it."
"More than that, only two shipments have come in from the Canglan border in the past two months, and they were all seized by Young Master Cheng. Our Master Mo ordered a batch of weapons, and guess what? Before they even entered the country, they all became Young Master Cheng's. And all his clients have become Fourth Master's."
The two of them burst into laughter at this point.
One person said, "I don't know who made such a bold statement in front of Mr. Fu back then, saying that Canglan would become the domain of the Azure Dragon Gang. But what happened? They couldn't even protect their original territory."
Another person spat, "Pah, what real skills could a pretty boy who climbed the social ladder by relying on women have?"
"I heard that nobody's even bothering to collect protection money from his men anymore. His poor brothers are all starving and can only afford to eat the northwest wind."
"How come you're starving?" another person said sarcastically. "He just crawls into the young lady's bed, and he'll have all the money he needs."
Another burst of laughter followed.
Gan Tang couldn't listen any longer and turned to take a detour. She wasn't unaware that Fu Cheng had been targeting Mo Huaixing recently, but she hadn't expected it to be this serious.
Just because of Lin Shuang, would he be willing to be He Zhong's bullet?
Mo Huaixing wasn't in Qinglong Bay, so Gan Tang called him when she got back to her room. On the phone, he still spoke casually, but the more she listened, the more uneasy she felt.
Fu Cheng, you like Lin Shuang, don't you? I'd like to see just how much you like her.
Three days later, Lin Shuang was once again embroiled in a sex scandal. The male protagonist of the scandal was Jiang Chen, the heir to the Jiang Group, who had previously been on a blind date with Gan Tang.
After the scandal broke, the Jiang Group issued an emergency public relations statement to clarify that such scandalous news about a third- or fourth-tier celebrity hooking up with the heir of a large corporation is easily exaggerated. Many people even dug up rumors about Lin Shuang from several years ago, and no one believed those rumors anymore.
Lin Shuang became the target of public criticism overnight.
Gan Tang's instigation played a significant role in this. The situation reached its climax at Orange Light Video's year-end star awards ceremony. Lin Shuang, who was originally nominated for the "Most Popular Goddess Among Otaku" award, was rejected by the organizers.
Outside the venue, the organizers stopped Lin Shuang's car. Lin Shuang's agent immediately started arguing with the organizers.
"You nominated us, you gave us the invitation, what do you mean by not letting us in?"
The organizer's manager was also very angry: "Don't you know when the invitation was sent out? After something like this happened, you still dare to come out. You have a lot of nerve."
"Then why don't you issue an official statement to remove them from the list?"
"..."
The two argued back and forth, while Lin Shuang, the person involved, remained seated in the car without saying a word.
Across the street, Gan Tang sat in an open-air café, stirring her coffee again and again.
"Lu Xintang, what are you trying to do!"
