Chapter 503: Confronting Zhang Tingting
In the hotel room in the town, Xia Ning slept for another half an hour before she got up. She took a look at her phone and remembered that Zheng Ziming called her. If the dirt this time was able to let him react like this, it might not be that simple.
She opened the news and almost laughed when she saw her own photo in the headlines. No wonder some people on the Internet said she owned the tabloids. So many people wanted to be in the headlines but could not. But she was able to do it every time.
Of course, when she saw herself in the headlines before, no matter if they were good or bad, she was okay. But this time, it was different. This time, it was concerning her mum.
Seeing the slander on her mum on the Internet, Xia Ning tightened her hands on the phone. She said to herself, Don’t get mad. In order to achieve something, there will always be sacrifices.
Maybe exposing her mum’s past would make people think that she was not a good daughter. But she would rather be blamed than letting her mum be wronged because of the so-called worldly perspectives. Wasn’t Shen Weiran able to take advantage of that?
The Shen family knew the truth better than her. Earlier, she was worried that Shen Weiran did not give out enough information. Who would know the account this time was able to expose so much? She was not sure whether the account did not know the truth, or she distorted it on purpose. But the result was what she wanted the most.
This was like a knife next to her neck. Can Shen Weiran feel the danger?! If she could, she would probably feel very unsettled. If she could not, she would give her a death blow to surprise her.
But now, it was not enough…
Bam bam bam! Some knocks were heard on the door.
Xia Ning put away her phone and stood up to open the door.
“Xia Ning…” Lin Nan said. He noticed that Xia Ning was still in her pajamas and he looked a bit awkward. “Are you still in bed?”
Xia Ning smiled slightly. “I just got up.” She took a look at Lin Nan and he was all dressed up. “Brother Lin, are you ready to go to the set already?”
“Yeah, I was planning to go with you…” Lin Nan nodded. He took a look at Xia Ning’s face and saw she was looking good. He finally felt relieved. Did she see the news online already?
“Brother Lin, you should go first. I probably need a while!”
“No, I’ll wait!”
Seeing Lin Nan’s determination, Xia Ning nodded. “I’ll be fast. Brother Lin, please go back to your room and wait for me. I’ll give you a call.” As she spoke, she closed the door.
Lin Nan saw the shut door and looked bitter. He could see they were not that close based on the shut door. He turned around and walked to his own room.
Xia Ning cleaned up quickly and got dressed. She then opened the door and saw Lin Nan standing next to the elevator with Zhang Tingting.
“Xia Ning!” Zhang Tingting waved at Xia Ning.
Xia Ning nodded. “Hello.” She then turned to Lin Nan. “Brother Lin, I’m ready. We can go now.”
Lin Nan answered and pressed the button for the elevator.
Xia Ning walked to the elevator and was about to pass Zhang Tingting. Suddenly her arm was held.
“Xia Ning, long time no see. I missed you so much.” Zhang Tingting held Xia Ning’s arm and said closely.
Xia Ning looked at her and smiled slightly. “Miss Zhang, you are too kind.”
Lin Nan darted a look at Zhang Tingting and frowned a little. He walked straight in.
Xia Ning followed. Zhang Tingting did not feel her rejection at all and was still holding her arm.
“You are so cold, Xia Ning. I’ve been treating you like a good friend,” Zhang Tingting said unpleasantly. “I’m actually following your news lately. Is Movie Queen Shen really your aunt? Didn’t you attend her charity reception before? Did she not recognize you back then?” She turned to Xia Ning with questioning eyes.
Xia Ning turned to Zhang Tingting and curled her lips slightly. “Looks like you are very interested in my relationship with Movie Queen Shen, Miss Zhang. It can’t be that you are her fan as well?”
