The next day, Mo Ning didn't go to set. She called the director and took two days off to stabilize her emotions.
Thinking she wasn't feeling well, the director agreed instantly to push her scenes back for two days.
That day, Mo Ning didn't stay in the hotel but stayed at her friends place.
She thought of going home to her mother but she dismissed the idea almost immediately because her mom might notice something off and ask questions she didn't have answers to.
She curled up on the bed and recalled her experience the previous night.
Even though she forgave Zhao Weiran, forgetting wasn't an easy thing so she made the decision to not see her again unless it was absolutely necessary or the ordeal was totally wiped out from her memory.
Which was equally the same as not wanting to see her for the rest of her life.
She was glad that Shen Mucheng was there on time or she wouldn't know what to do.
He truly was like her Knight in shining armour with the way he appeared.
Come to think of it, she still didn't know his name. What a shame this was! After meeting a hot piece of meat twice, she still didn't know his name.
Adding to all that he had to see her in that situation instead of in a sexy looking bikini. "Sigh! Isn't it hard to be a lady?" She said to herself ;it is extremely tiring to always look your best and guys could do that effortlessly without trying.
She was very sure that the guy would be able to pull off anything.
If she eventually got to be with someone like that, she would really lose out in beauty.
Looking at herself, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she was nearly raped and all she could think of from the entire ordeal was knowing the name of the handsome Knight in shining armour and him finding her in that position and whatnot.
Her ancestors would probably be looking down and shaking their heads at her right now. They might even deny her being part of the family.
'Ha! I really need to set my values and goals straight.' she thought.
Instead of looking for a way to deal with the disgusting freak of a man who almost took advantage of her, what was her brain doing analyzing something else?
Meanwhile...
That same morning Mo Ning was going off track in her thoughts, someone else had held the bull by the horn.
Chang Mingkai was sat in his office as usual on a normal day but today didn't seem like a normal day.
Since morning, it had been one phone call after another all bearing one bad news or another.
It was either this warehouse containing all kinds of jade accidentally caught fire and was burnt down leaving nothing behind, or one shareholder or another selling their shares and his secretary delivering the bad news.
Some high-end shops marketing their jades, decided to return them for no reason even though they had to pay the fee for terminating the contract.
Even the batch of jade raw materials that had been brought in earlier that day seemed to contain mostly low level jade making the company lose hundreds of millions.
The way things developed, made Chang Mingkai believe that someone was trying to make him go bankrupt.
In less than a day,their shares in the stock market had dropped so much that any cat or dog on the street could own shares in his company.
But the worse thing yet, was not knowing who was behind this and why.
It was basically the same as dying without knowing what killed you.
He had to look for a solution and fast. Otherwise, they would have to declare bankruptcy.
And he wasn't ready to do that, he wouldn't back out of this without a fight,unless that was the only way around it.
He picked up his keys and stood up from his chair instead of watching the situation deteriorating so fast, he would rather go about looking for a solution than stand aside and watch his years of hard work go to waste.
