As soon as Mo Ning left the set, she didn't go to the hotel instead, she took the subway and went to Bai Yaran and Grace David's apartment.
Unlike the one she lived in with her mom, this one had a little more security.
When she got to the lobby of the building, she didn't wait for the security personnel to ring their apartment, since she frequently visited and was also registered as someone who could come in at anytime, she just signed her name in the visitors log and directly went up via the elevator.
When she got to the door of their apartment, she rang the doorbell and as if someone had been standing there all along, the door was swung open and she felt a weight on her shoulder.
It took Mo Ning quite sometime, to realize that the one who had opened the door was Grace and she was currently enveloped in her tight embrace.
"C..ca..can't breathe. " When Grace heard her voice, she quickly freed her from her embrace and Mo Ning went into a coughing feat.
" My God! Grace! If this is your way of saying you missed me, then I really got the message.. cough.. Clearly. "
" I'm sorry Ning Ning, I was just so excited to see you after so long. " Grace said feeling apologetic.
" Hey it's alright. I'm excited to see you too, let's go in. By the way where's Yaran?"
"I'm in here" Came Bai Yaran's voice from inside the apartment.
" Oh Grace I missed you so much and all those delicious pastries you make. " Mo Ning said all smiles.
" Be sincere Xiao Ning, did you miss me more or you missed my pastries more?"
" Of course I missed you more. "
" Yeah right. "Grace said with a snort
" Come on don't be like that of course I missed you more. But can you please make me one of those chocolate doughnuts you make so well one of these days? Pretty please! " Mo Ning said with a pout.
" And you said you missed me, I think Yaran..."
" I want one too. " Came Bai Yaran's voice again.
" And I just wanted to say Yaran loves me the most, but see what I get. Why do I even have friends like you? " They all burst into laughter when Grace said that.
" Damn it! I missed you both so much. "
" We missed you too darling. "Mo Ning and Bai Yaran said in unison.
" I wanted to ask you on the phone, but I kept my curious mind in check. Now I want to ask, didn't you plan to come back this weekend? Why are you back earlier than planned? " As soon as Mo Ning asked that question, the atmosphere changed and Grace looked glum. Seeing her sad expression, Mo Ning went to go sit on the armrest of the couch Grace was sitting on.
" Why did you become so sad, what exactly happened? Did you lose someone or what? "
" You could put it that way. Richard cheated on me. "Grace said her eyes turning red and misty.
" What?!!!, the same guy who accused you of sleeping around with Asian men? "
" Yup, the one and only. "
" That's good news then, I knew he was bad news from the start. Plus having to be in a long distance relationship, that's quite troublesome. "
" Hey! Are you in cahoots with Yaran or what? You both said the same thing. But... It hurts you know, I was so in love with him and he just had to do that. "
" Hmmm let me guess, he didn't tell you he no longer loves you but you caught him in the act right? " Mo Ning asked to which Grace gave a nod of her head.
" Bingo!! He was definitely with you for your money, and you wanted to bring him over here with you. Thank goodness you haven't done that yet. Hey! You are not allowed to cry over that scumbag. "
" I know but I just can't help it. "
The sound of a phone ringing, distracted them from their conversation.
It was Mo Ning's phone and it was a call from one of their friends who they haven't seen in a long time. Mo Ning picked the call, and put it on speaker.
" Hello Weiran. "
" Hello Ning Ning can we meet up? "
" Sure we can. Should I call Yaran and Grace over? "
" No, there's no need I just want to discuss something very important with you. "
" Alright but it has to be tomorrow night, I'm busy right now. "
" OK no problem I'll text you the time and location tomorrow at noon. "
" Sure. "
The three girls exchanged glances before Bai Yaran spoke up.
" Is it me or was her tone weird just now? "
" I think so too, but what exactly is she up to?" Grace asked
" Hey you guys! Don't let your minds travel, maybe what she has to say is very serious, that's why she sounds weird. "
At a certain high end club in the heart of the city.
After Zhao Weiran hung up the call with Mo Ning, she turned to the person sitting beside her.
" It's done. Don't forget to uphold your part of the deal." the other person gave a sly grin.
"Of course I won't, I keep my words but you have to complete your end tomorrow before I grant your request. "
" Sure. "Zhao Weiran replied, a trace of disdain could be detected from her voice.
