Chapter 359: Who Does the Old Man Think he''s Bullying
Before Tang Xuan could respond, Tangning had already hung up the phone. As she put down the
phone, her eyes looked obviously upset.
It wasn''t her choice to be born into the Tang Family. Wasn''t it enough that she had mentally tortured
herself over it for so many years? How much further did the Tang Family want to push her?
"Ning Jie..."
"I''m fine," Tangning looked at Han Xiner and revealed aforting smile. The rain outside further
lowered Tangning''s mood. But, as soon as she thought of Mo Ting, her emotions stabilized. In fact,
she felt a sense of warmth sweep over her body.
Once upon a time, in order to hide from the Tang Family and to take care of Han Yufan, she had
been willing to give up on the career that she loved so much. At that time, she was happy to move
behind the scenes and be a supportive wife and loving mother. But now, she felt, only standing
in the most dazzling position, would she match Mo Ting''s grandeur.
So, she would never retreat because of the Tang Family again.
"Ning Jie, someone is knocking on the door. It must be Boss. I''ll go open it."
"OK," Tangning smiled.
However, to her surprise, the person to appear at the doorway holding a ck umbre, was Elder
Tang''s assistant, "Miss Tangning, the chairman wants to see you. He is in the car downstairs."
Tangning nced at Han Xiner. Although her emotions wereplex, she couldn''t find a reason to
reject her grandfather - especially since he was already downstairs.
Tangning gestured for Han Xiner not to follow her and mouthed instructions for her to call Mo Ting.
Han Xiner nodded her head. As soon as Tangning left she immediately pulled out her phone and
called Mo Ting.
"Hello Boss, the Tang Family havee to look for Ning Jie!"
Mo Ting was already on his way to look for Tangning, so as soon as he heard Han Xiner''s words, he
immediately sped up his car...
Downstairs...
The assistant held onto his umbre as he escorted Tangning to a ck car that was stopped
beneath a tree. Tangning looked through the window at the old man that sat inside and couldn''t help
but sigh. She could no longer recall whether it had been 4 or 5 years since theyst saw each
other...
"Miss Tang, please..." the assistant opened the car door and gestured for her to step inside.
Tangning hesitated for a moment, but still ended up stepping aboard. This meeting was so sudden,
she hadn''t even changed out of her costume yet.
Elder Tang had an honorable presence to him. He sat up straight and turned to look at Tangning as
he smirked, "Is this how shameful you are these days?"
"Grandfather, have youe because of the news articles?" Tangning ignored his question and
asked. "If you have, I can assure you that I will deal with it myself. There was no need for you to
come all the way here."
"Hmmph," Elder Tang grunted. "You sure are stubborn. It''s already been 9 years! Don''t you miss
your mother and grandfather at all?"
"Since you had the courage to walk out. Why couldn''t you put up with a little bit of scorn and
contempt from your siblings?"
"You''re overthinking the situation. I left the Tang Family simply because I wanted to pursue a career
in entertainment," Tangning denied. "I have no interest in perfume."
"But you were born with natural talent."
Tangning fell silent.
However, the atmosphere in the car turned so icy cold, it made it hard for one to breathe.
"If you want me to forgive you, I want you to break all ties with the entertainment industry, break up
with the rascal from the Mo Family, and return to the Tang Family."
Tangning remained silent for a few moments before replying, "I am good the way I am right now."
"What''s so good? You get trodden over by rubbish news every single day. If you want glory, can''t
grandfather give it to you?"
"No you can''t," Tangning replied straightforwardly, "If I return to the Tang Family, I won''t be able to
eat nor sleep. I will feel guilty every single day that I use the Tang Family''s money, because I feel
like it is stolen and snatched from someone else. It will drive me crazy! Grandfather, can''t you just
set me free?"
"Are you that disgusted by the Tang Family?" anger began to show on Elder Tang''s face. "So
disgusted that you can''t stay for even a second?"
"Yes."
"What has that Mo rascal offered you?"
"He has given me everything I was missing. Thing''s that grandfather can never give me," Tangning
said in a choked up voice.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Dignity," Tangningughed at herself. "Grandfather, I know it is impossible for you to disregard the
rest of the family for my sake."
"Do you feel ack of dignity being born into the Tang Family?" Elder Tang was slightly shocked as
his hands began to tremble.
"I''m sure you are well aware whether I have any dignity. Must you ask the obvious?"
"Do as you please! If one day, you decide to return to the Tang Family, you better clean up all ties
with the entertainment industry. I will never ept a grandson-inw involved with entertainment,
regardless of how capable he is." Elder Tang gave up trying to convince his granddaughter. When it
came to personality traits, apart from a natural talent in everything they did, stubbornness was
something the grandfather and granddaughter shared.
"In that case, I don''t think there will ever be a ce in the Tang Family for me..."
"Tangning, a few years ago you suffered so much because of Han Yufan and was even kicked out
of the Tang Family. Look what happened in the end," Elder Tang''s eyes turned red, "This time,
because of a man again..."
"He''s different."
"What if I insist that you give up on him?"

"I won''t be able to do it. Even if I have to die, I wouldn''t be able to do it. I can give up on anything,
but when ites to Mo Ting, no one can take him away from me. Not even you, grandfather." As
Tangning spoke, her voice was firm and the words flowed out of her mouth quickly, not allowing
Elder Tang to cut in.
After quite some time, Elder Tang finally found his voice again, "If you had to choose between me
and him?"
"I don''t need the empty Tang Family, I just need him."
Naturally, the grandfather and granddaughter were destined to separate on bad terms.
They simply had different opinions.
Elder Tang loved Tangning, but his love came with a price.
Tangning was naturally shooed out of the car. After the ck car drove away, Tangning spotted Mo
Ting standing not too far away holding an umbre, waiting patiently for her.
Tangning''s tears uncontrobly flowed from her eyes. Seeing this, Mo Ting immediately removed his
jacket and wrapped her up in it, pulling her tightly into his embrace.
"It''s fine...everything is fine. You have me."
Tangning held onto Mo Ting with all her might. It wasn''t until she was forced to make a choice did
she realize that Mo Ting was more important to her than anything in her life.
"Ting..."
"Yes?"
"Do you know how important you are to me?" Tangning asked amongst the rain.
"I know," Mo Ting replied in a deep voice as he kissed her on the head. "But, you must remember, I
will always love you a little more than you love me."
Tangning buried her head into Mo Ting''s embrace as her tears fell upon his sweater. The couple
stood in the rain for quite some time before Mo Ting finally said, "Let''s return to the hotel. You can
tell me everything your grandfather said to you."
"Ok," Tangning nodded her head.
Mo Ting hooked his arm around Tanging as they returned to the hotel. He felt a surge of emotions;
who did the old man think he was bullying?
Even if it was someone from the Tang Family; even if it was an elder; as long as they made
Tangning unhappy, he wasn''t going to let it pass!
Sorry for thete update everyone, this chapter was bugged for a little while. But, on the bright side,
