Chapter 246 - 246 244 Mo Xiaoqing's Phone Call


246: Chapter 244: Mo Xiaoqing’s Phone Call 246: Chapter 244: Mo Xiaoqing’s Phone Call “Okay, if you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t ask.


After all, you’ve always been quite mysterious.


But for this, I’m really very thankful to you.” Zhao Xinxin wasn’t very good at expressing thanks, but her gratitude towards Tangyu was indeed very profound…


“Haha, it’s all part of the job, doing things for the company,” Tangyu said with a smile.


“Tangyu, I have another question.


What exactly are Huangfu Jing’s terms?” Zhao Xinxin asked, concerned about whether Xinxin Culture and Art would need to front additional money.


A billion yuan probably wouldn’t catch Huangfu Jing’s eye, and it seemed unlikely that she would drop her own value and reduce her asking price to ninety million voluntarily.


“Didn’t I mention it just now?


Ninety million,” Tangyu answered.


Zhao Xinxin’s brow furrowed slightly, and a look of surprise flashed across her face: “Did Huangfu Jing really only ask for ninety million?”


“Yes, only ninety million.


But of course, we can’t sign the contract for that little; let’s put down one hundred and sixty million on the contract,” Tangyu said.


Zhao Xinxin fell silent and asked no further; she trusted Tangyu.


Since it had been explained so clearly, it must be so.


Asking for only ninety million meant that Xinxin Culture and Art didn’t have to overturn everything—such a price was really too favorable.


Zhao Xinxin had already resolved that even if this case didn’t earn a penny, she would take it on without an ounce of hesitation had she secured it.


According to her analysis, just the first phase of the collaboration could profit thirty to forty million, likely no less than thirty million.


Even if it ended up being thirty million or even forty million more, Zhao Xinxin wouldn’t hesitate.


Now, not a single penny needed to be spent; this was truly a massive windfall from heaven.


Yet without a formal contract signed, Zhao Xinxin was still somewhat worried.


“Don’t worry, ‘Sis Xinxin.’ Huangfu Jing’s manager should be contacting us soon to discuss the specifics of the contract,” Tangyu said.


Zhao Xinxin nodded, and hearing this, she felt reassured.


Only once the contract was signed would everything truly be settled.


“By the way, Tangyu, be careful these days.


Zhang Guoli must absolutely despise you today, and I don’t think he’ll let this go easily,” Zhao Xinxin said worriedly as she looked at Tangyu, and Liu Shanshan also looked at him full of concern.


Seeing them so concerned about him, Tangyu felt warmth in his heart.


The luckiest thing for a man could be being cared about by beautiful women, Tangyu said with a smile: “Don’t worry, a mere Zhang Guoli isn’t even on my radar.”


His bold statement quite shocked Zhao Xinxin; it seemed there was much more to this man than met the eye.


She had indeed found a treasure.


A ringtone broke the atmosphere; it was Tangyu’s phone ringing.


Picking it up, Tangyu was surprised to see that it was Mo Xiaoqing calling.


“Xiaoqing, what’s up?” Tangyu immediately answered the phone.


“I—I—” her voice weak and disjointed came through from the other end.


Tangyu’s brow furrowed instantly, and he asked urgently, “Xiaoqing, what’s wrong?


Where are you, I’ll come right now.”


“Dorm—room—” Mo Xiaoqing said weakly, each word seemingly as heavy as a thousand pounds.


“Okay, I’ll be right there, just hang on for a bit,” Tangyu said immediately, and after hanging up, he turned to Zhao Xinxin and Liu Shanshan: “Sis Xinxin, Shanshan, go back on your own, I have to leave for an emergency this afternoon.”


Without waiting for Zhao Xinxin’s response, he ran out.


“Taking leave again, not a single day without something to do, you really are a busy man,” Zhao Xinxin watched Tangyu’s quickly disappearing figure and bit her lip, “always flirting around, it’s one woman after another, truly a born womanizer.”


Somehow, Zhao Xinxin felt inexplicably uncomfortable.


Beside her, Liu Shanshan was also biting her lip, her heart sour with jealousy.


But these were things she had become almost accustomed to.


There were too many excellent women around Tangyu, and she could only stand by silently.


After leaving the hotel, Tangyu hailed a taxi and hurried to the school.


Urging the driver, they arrived at the school in just over twenty minutes.


Tangyu directly headed to Mo Xiaoqing’s dorm.


The door was locked from the inside.


Tangyu knocked, “Xiaoqing, it’s me, open the door.”


However, there was no response from inside.


Tangyu’s expression turned cold, a sharp look flashing across his face, his fists clenched— if someone dared to hurt Mo Xiaoqing, he would make them pay, no matter who it was.


Tangyu broke the lock with a single palm strike.


As the door swung open, a strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils.


His eyes quickly swept the room and fixed on Mo Xiaoqing lying on the bed.


Seeing the scene, his heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed as he rushed over.


Mo Xiaoqing was as pale as paper, her lips tinged with purple.


There was a lot of blood on the bed and the floor, along with several blood-stained tissues.


Currently, she was holding a tissue to her nose, pinching it to stop the bleeding.


Her eyes were half-closed, devoid of any sparkle, resembling someone on the verge of death.


The sight was heart-wrenching; she might have lost liters of blood, and if it continued, her life would definitely be in danger.


On seeing Tangyu, Mo Xiaoqing managed to open her eyelids slightly, a flash of light appearing in her eyes.


However, her mouth couldn’t open at all.


“Xiaoqing, don’t talk.


Nothing will happen with me here,” Tangyu said with a pained expression, as if in agony like his heart was being torn apart.


Tangyu quickly came to the bedside, lifted Mo Xiaoqing up, and at the same time, he placed his hand near her nose.


Pure Yang Qi was directly emitted, a burst of light shot out from Tangyu’s palm into her nose.


The nosebleed was incessant because the capillaries had burst and couldn’t be repaired momentarily.


To stop the bleeding, those capillaries needed to be repaired.


Pure Yang Qi inherently possessed the power to revive endlessly, capable of restoring all things in the universe.


The essence of nature is Yang.


“Xiaoqing, move your hand away, and the tissue too.


It will be fine soon,” Tangyu said.


Mo Xiaoqing immediately felt much more comfortable and gradually regained some strength.


Without any hesitation on her part, she moved her hand away at Tangyu’s words, wiped off the blood from her nose, and indeed, the bleeding stopped.


Merely fixing a burst capillary was a small matter, completed within a couple of breaths.


However, Mo Xiaoqing had lost too much blood.


Just stopping the bleeding wasn’t enough; she also needed a blood transfusion.


Producing blood was something Tangyu could do, but it would come at a high cost.


After restoring a bit of Mo Xiaoqing’s strength with Pure Yang Qi, Tangyu chose not to continue using it.


Using Pure Yang Qi to produce blood consumed too much energy, especially since Mo Xiaoqing had lost a substantial amount of blood.


Even exhausting all his Pure Yang Qi wouldn’t have replenished her completely.


“Xiaoqing, how are you feeling now?” Tangyu asked with concern.


Mo Xiaoqing nodded slightly and said, “Much better, thank you, Tangyu.” Lying in Tangyu’s embrace, feeling the warmth of his broad chest, she felt very warm inside, blissful even.


“You’ve lost too much blood; you must go to the hospital for a transfusion.


I’ll take you to the hospital now,” Tangyu said in a tone that brooked no argument.


Mo Xiaoqing looked at Tangyu, his tone was so much like that of a boyfriend speaking to his girlfriend.


Blushing at the thought, but her pallor hid it well, she slightly lowered her head, nodding obediently.


Tangyu took some tissues to wipe the blood off Mo Xiaoqing, then slowly helped her up and held her tightly.


At this moment, Mo Xiaoqing had no strength to stand firmly, feeling very weak.


“Xiaoqing, let me carry you,” Tangyu offered.


Mo Xiaoqing hesitated briefly then shook her head, “No, the school has too many people.


Just hold me like this, we can walk slowly.”


Tangyu knew Mo Xiaoqing was embarrassed and didn’t insist.


Holding her this way, they could still manage to walk.


“Okay, let’s go.


Oh, didn’t you say you had a mysterious friend who works as a nurse?


How about we go to her hospital?


It would be good for you to have someone look after you, and I have a lot to do; I might not have much time to care for you,” Tangyu said.


“Mmm, she works at Donglin’s largest First Hospital.


It’s a bit far,” Mo Xiaoqing nodded.


“It’s a bit far, but we can take a cab,” Tangyu said.


Tangyu had Mo Xiaoqing put one arm around his waist and he adjusted his hold from her shoulder to her waist to ensure stability.


As he did, his hand accidentally slipped and brushed against Mo Xiaoqing’s breast.


Her development in that area was quite impressive, fully matured.


The touch was incredibly soft, and the feel was truly excellent, causing Tangyu’s hand to tingle pleasantly.


Holding Mo Xiaoqing this way was also a delightful enjoyment.


Her waist was really soft and smooth; it was comforting to hold her.


Plus, her breast pressing against his chest was also a secretly thrilling sensation for Tangyu.


In this intimate posture with Tangyu, Mo Xiaoqing’s face flushed deeply, but she felt sweet inside.


This close physical contact was usually something between lovers.


Even though now was an exception, she would definitely not have agreed had it been anyone else.


Facing Tangyu, she always felt she couldn’t refuse him.


Though she would feel embarrassed and uneasy if seen by others, she couldn’t refuse.


As soon as they stepped out, the sudden sound of ‘clicking’ erupted.


Tangyu’s gaze turned sharp as he looked over to see Wang Ba and his two lackeys standing there with smug, sinister smiles, continuously taking photos with their phones.


Seeing Wang Ba and his friends stationed at the door, Mo Xiaoqing, already feeling quite embarrassed, blushed even deeper, the color covering her initial paleness.


There was a flicker of anger in Tangyu’s eyes.


Wang Ba was indeed well-informed; he knew as soon as Tangyu entered the school and had even followed them here.


“Haha, what explosive news!


What do you think would happen if I posted this on the campus network?” Wang Ba said, looking at Tangyu triumphantly, his words laced with a hint of threat.


Mo Xiaoqing, known as Linshan Middle School’s most beautiful teacher and the goddess in many male students’ eyes.


Tangyu, because of the recent events, had become quite a celebrity at Linshan Middle School, idolized by many female students, even an object of their affection.


If a rumor about these two surfaced, it would certainly cause an uproar throughout the campus, perhaps even sparking a huge scandal.


If it brought about negative effects, the school might have to take action against both Tangyu and Mo Xiaoqing.
