Jiang Ning however had no idea what was going through the female lead(Ning Xuya) and her mother's mind and even if she did , she would simply roll her eyes and curse the author for making such a poisonous woman ,the female lead.
Time passed by quickly and Jiang Ning new album recording started .
However , Jiang Ning couldn't settle her heart, afterall she was in a novel , how can her life be filled with so much warmth and comfort .And for reason unknown her left eye kept twitching, today .
Good fortune is hard to come by but Bad fortune follows after the silence before the storm ,this was something that Jiang Ning knew therefore she couldn't help but worry .
Throughout the day Jiang Ning tried to focus on the songs and somehow made it half way through , by the grace of Gods , her body was use to singing and she could easily do the recording.She was focused on singing but then the studio's door was slammed opened and Wei De rushed in with a worried look on his face .
Looking at Wei De anxious look , Jiang Ning 's heart went in a frenzy .As she quickly answered the call that Wei De rushed to deliver to her . And within seconds she found herself rushing out of their recording studio.___^_^_____^_ ^__^_^_^_^_______
At the hospital .
"Yan Yan !" Jiang Ning rushed in front of her son who looked pale and clammy , sweat could be seen on his forehead as he continued to look at the emergency room "What happened the teacher-"
"Xinya was pushed by some kids , it was the day of their outing .I don't know, mum what will happen to Xinya , will she ?"
"Nothing will happen ! Don't worry " looking at the red eyes of Si Yiyan, Jiang Ning felt her heart go cold and a vicious look passed in her eyes .Pushed by a kid? no , things are starting to look fishy .
Jiang Ning felt Si Yiyan tremble and she hurriedly pulled the child in her arms , for the first time she realized that Si Yiyan was still a twelve year child , how horrible and scared he might have felt when Xinya's teacher called him to tell about Xinya's accident! Jiang Ning also realised that no matter how much she tries to keep herself out of trouble , it doesn't mean others won't go looking for trouble with her .The previous owner was pushed to her death , now Si Xinya was pushed down in an outing , can things be so coincidental ? She doesn't believe it ! Maybe she was reading into this accident to much but she was someone who grew up defending her life against her step mother and step sister , they too have used a numerous number of schemes in the dark , she doesn't believe that Ning Yuya had nothing to do with her and Xinya's accident , afterall Ning Yuya has both reason and motive to commit such crimes!
Hugging Si Yiyan, Jiang Ning felt her the wet patch on her blouse and with the trembling of Si Yiyan's shoulders , she knew that her cold and aloof som could no longer continue to bottle up his emotions .
She felt the tightening of her throat throat, as she recalled the pitiful life of these two children .
Born without love , raised without love and died without love , from beginning till the end , this pair of siblings suffered so much .The original Jiang Ning was good to them but only to a certain level and Si Ye Han didn't cared about them , with such a poor upbringing its not a surprise that this new son of her's has gotten used to suppress his emotions but now with his sister in being danger he could no longer continue holding everything in .
Sighing , Jiang Ning hugged Si Yiyan even more tightly. She wished she could infuse her warmth into him , she wanted him to know that even if his real mother was long dead , she was here and she would be with him till death .She wanted to tell him that she would give him and his sister all the love they have missed out on , because she was here and she loved this two kids as if they were own .
"Don't worry hun, mum's here " she continued rubbing Si Yi Yan back as she consoled him and herself as well .She tried to act tough for Si Yiyan but internally she was worried as well .
Si Xinya having an accident wasn't in the story, after all Jiang Ning was dead and Ning Yuya had married Si Ye Han successfully, therefore there was no need for the other party to harm Jiang Ning children.
This was one of the reason because of which she suspected Ning Yuya .
After ten minutes of continued sobbing Si Yiyan finally pulled away from her as he wiped his swollen eyes , the door to emergency room opened. Both Si Yiyan and Jiang Ning turned to look at the doctor , their expression turning hopeful but looking at the doctor's grim expression, Jiang Ning felt that someone had gripped her heart and gave it a hard squeeze ."Doctor my daughter-"
"She is fine , the wound is not severe but she had severe blood loss and unfortunately her blood type is Ro subtype,we-"But Jiang Ning didn't have to listen to the doctor anymore, she already knew it .It was mentioned in the book once that Si Yiyan had the same blood type as his mother but Si Xinya inherited the Si family rare blood group .There was only 2% of Ro subtype donors and they were hard to find , now in need where will she find a donor for her daughter , if the hospital didn't have it .
Jiang Ning felt her heart go cold as she looked at Si Yiyan who have gone pale , she could still hear the doctor repeated requests of arranging a donor for Si Xinya but Jiang Ning could hardly hear him .She knew that the only person who can help them right now was Si Ye Han , her husband but she didn't wanted to owe him! No , she cannot think in this way
.Saving Xinya was more important with that she turned around to look at her son."Yan Yan call your father "
Si Yiyan looked at his mother who looked pale and worried , he knew those three words ' call your father' , must have taken a huge amount of courage . Si Yiyan was aware of her mother's disgust, hatred and depression that came with his father's arrival but he knew this as well that right now only his father could help Xinya .Father? Si Yiyan didn't even want to acknowledge that man as his father , his only wish was to let that man stay away from him and his family as long as his father don't come near his mother , his mother will not go into hysterical fits .
But they were at their wits end , who asked Xinya to inherit that bloody rare group of their sorry excuse of a father! but right now Si Yiyan could not do anything , gritting his teeth , he punched the familiar yet unknown number of Si Ye Han .
After three rings the phone was finally picked up"Dad-" Si Yiyan began but rest of his speech was cut off when a woman answered the call instead of his father .
"Yan Yan is that you ?"
Si Yiyan looked horrified even Jiang Ning who sat down on the hospital bench with her face covered looked up ."Yan Yan , its aunty Ning ! Do you need your father ? He is in the shower right now, woukd you like to talk to him .I can give him his cell in the shower , if its an emergency . I believe your father would get angry -"
But the rest of her words didn't came, Si Yiyan had ended the call . Anxious and scared he looked at his mother , who was yet to get her healthy complexion back .He was twelve not two , how could he not understand what Ning Yuya was suggesting , they were in US right now , it was late in night .
What could a man and woman be doing if a man need to take a shower this late ? Si Yiyan didn't even dare to think !
Jiang Ning however was severely disappointed with this husband of her , his daughter was in emergency and he was out there having fun ."Yan Yan call your grandpa , I know he is old but we can just hope the hospital will make an exception with the arrival of Old master Si ."
That's right! His grandfather had the same blood group as well. With that Si Yiyan did not dare to waste even a singls minute and called his grandpa.__^_^----^_^----^_^------^_^--'
"Where is my grand daughter!" a roar resounded through the silent corridor of the hospital , as an old man in his late fifty's rushed in . He was dressed in navy blue night pyjamas with a matching robe .
Jiang Ning felt her jaw drop as the old man rushed in , behind him was uncle Zhou who seemed to be carrying a pair of shirt and pants . But The old man paid no attention to him and rushed forward to her ."Ning'er , Yan Yan ..Xinya how is she ?"
"Gr- Dad , she is in fine but she needs blood urgently ; I know its too much to ask but could you "When Jiang Ning saw old master Si , she was shocked .This old master Si was very similar to her grandfather in the real life , the only one who treated her warmly . Looking at old master Si, she almost called him grandpa ."Too much ? I would bleed dry for my XinXin ! where is the doctor ? how dare you leave my daughter unattended " with another roar Old master Si rushed to donate his blood .
But no matter how unreasonable old master Si was , at the end he was the owner of Si industries nobody dared to mess with him . With his arrival both Si Yiyan and Jiang Ning took a breathe of relief .
"Yan Yan your grandfather is donating his blood , he is old I think I should go home and prepare sone nourishing soup for him , can you wait here?"
Looking at his mother who was treating him as a child , Si Yiyan blushed but felt giddy inside ..His mother was worried about him! However he didn't show his happiness on his face and nodded solemnly.-^_^-^_^-----^_^---'
"Where is your mother ?"
"She is preparing some nourishing food for you and Xinya "Hearing Si Yi yan answer , Old master Si was shocked previously Uncle Zhou had told him that Jiang Ning started pampering both Si Yiyan and Xinya , at first he didn't believed uncle Zhou but now , umm was he going to eat the food his daughter in law prepared for him ?Actually he was jealous of his old friends who ate food made by their daughter in law, did his Ning'er forgave him? Afterall if not for his stubbornness , Jiang Ning wouldn't be tied in such unhappy marriage .
When Jiang Ning returned , Si Xinya was wide awake and playing with the teddy bear that Wei De has brought .
Jiang Ning was surprised , she knew how busy Wei De was with her new album release . But he still made time to visit Xinya ."You should have gone home " looking at Wei De exhausted appearance , Jiang Ning felt he was pushing himself too much .
"How could I ? When our precious XinXin is injured how could I sleep?"
Old master Si watched as Wei De and Jiang Ning conversed , a while ago a nurse came by and she assumed Wei De as , Xinya's father but Old master Si didn't blame her .If not for him knowing that Wei De and Jiang Ning were cousin once removed , even he would have thought that both of them were a couple .
These were the times when he felt even more disappointed with his son , Xinya was his daughter but she was being doted upon by a stranger and Si Ye Han as her father was doting on a child who wasn't even his . If not for him worried about Jiang Ning , he would have shot this disappointment of a son and killed himself !
"Dad ,here " when Jiang Ning pushed a bowl of freshly cooked fish soup , Old master Si was pulled out of his reverie .
The soup smelled amazing there was no smell fishy smell and it looked appetizing.
Old master Si watched as Si Yiyan and Xinya gulped down the soup happily , not wanting to miss out he too took a sip and one sip became two , then three and very soon the entire bowl was empty .Jiang Ning watched Old master Si sipping her soup happily , this was her greatest happiness .Her grandfather died when she was still young , now watching Old master Si tasting her cooking she felt that she was feeding her grandfather.
"Dad , why don't you come and live with us ?" Jiang Ning remembered that Old master Si lived alone in the novel , apart from some special occasions , he didn't took a step in her house
.Even at his death , he died alone with no one at his side , this was something that Jiang Ning found even more disturbing .With two grand children and a son , Old master lived such a lonely life and she wished to change it because Old master Si was just as cute as her grandfather .
Old master Si who was drinking his second bowl of soup nearly choked himself , if not for Si Yiyan patting his back, he was afraid he would have already choked .
"You ..You want me to live with you all?" Old master Si was surprised , he knew his daughter in law blamed him in her heart that was one of the reason why he never visited her and his grand children ;but now that daughter in law was asking him to live with her , how great was this !
"Yes grandpa come live with us !""Why don't you agree dad , you can help me in keeping an eye on the kids ."Even Si Yiyan was looking at him with expectant eyes , under his grandchildren and daughter in law coaxing, how could Old master Si refuse he at once agreed !
^_^***^_^""Wei De, keep an eye on Ning Yuya and report to me what she does !" Once Jiang Ning left the hospital room for a cup of coffee , she dragged Wei De along
"You ..do you doubt her , do you think she is behind what is happening ?"
"I'm not suspecting her but i think she is related afterall she has both the motive as well as the reason to harm me and my child ""If so then I will make sure that she learns her lesson! " Wei De agreed with Jiang Ning , Ning Yuya had the motive to harm Jiang Ning and Si Xinya , if Jiang Ning died she could marry Si Ye Han without any problems ,if Si Xinya was dead then Si Ye Han would have the reason to divorce Jiang Ning , in both cases Ning Yuya was the one who stood at gain .
While Wei De and Jiang Ning were busy discussing Ning Yuya matters they didn't paid attention to their surroundings and unknown to them someone heard their discussion and this someone was no one else but Si Yiyan .
Listening to his mother and Uncle Wei , Si Yiyan gripped his hands behind his back .So in the end it was that woman !
"Old Ye ,come and sit .Why are you standing at the entrance?" Old master Si frowned when he saw his long time friend, the old master of Ye family , standing at the entrance of his home with a bewildered expression. "Hmph , who knows when your daughter in law is going to throw us out . " However, old master Si didn't take any offence at his friend words instead he let out a booming laugh ."Look at me , do I look like someone who is going to be kicked out ?" Old master Ye looked at his friend and contrary to his past pale complexion , now his old friend had rosy cheeks and somehow he looked a little fatter than before ."I'm telling you my daughter in law takes great care of me ! " In the past twelve years Old master Si had been suffering under old master Ye , under his boisterous boasting about the care he gets from the daughter in law of Ye family, Old master Si had suffered many grievances. Old master Si too wanted to have a normal family with
A gloomy atmosphere surrounded Zhou Bin and Si Ye Han,Zhou bin wanted to say something but before he can even open his mouth , The door to their hotel room slammed opened. "Brother Han , I'm so sorry .I don't know how this happened!" Ning Yuya came rushing in , tears glistening on her cheeks as she sobbed her heart out "Brother Han, its all my fault .It's me , Who made sister Ning unhappy and that's why she attacked you like this..I..I should go Brother Han.sob" "Its alright Yuya, don't cry" watching Ning Yuya cry like that Si Ye Han couldn't bring himself to be tough to her , at first he thought that he will send Ning Yuya and Ning Xuya back to country X but now looking at the broken hearted Ning Yuya crying so badly his heart couldn't bear to say such harsh words .Si Ye Han was busy consoling Ning Yuya thus he wasn't able to see Zhou Bin making gagging faces behind him . If not for Ning Yuya being so close to Si Ye Han , Zhou Bin would have definite
"Hmm" Jiang Ning kept swiping on her tablet , she has been searching for a good muffin recipe for the past few hours .Si Xinya birthday was just around the corner and Jiang Ning wanted to give the little girl a wonderful birthday party, if she remembered it correctly Si Xinya never celebrated her birthday with the previous owner which later became a scar in Xinya's heart .If Jiang Ning gave her a happy childhood now maybe the little girl won't turn evil and twisted?"Mommy ! what are you doing? " Si Xinya saw that her mother was busy with her tablet for so long , she could no longer sit still .Whenever her mother busied herself , she will forget about everything .Si Xinya was worried that her mother would forget about her again ; thus she called for Jiang Ning .A child's mind was the purest To Si Xinya ,Jiang Ning using tablet was a dangerous thing but what the little girl didn't knew that for the previous owner Si Xin
Jiang Ning felt her heart go cold,watching Si Yi Yan expose such a ' villainous face' . In the novel Si Yi Yan became the villain not only because he fell in love with the female lead but his father ; Si Ye Han also played an important role in this. Sometimes , Jiang Ning felt that Si Yi Yan didn't truly loved The female lead , maybe it was more of his rebellious side. It might be possible that he did all of that to get the attention of his father or maybe he just wanted to irk Si Ye Han.In short Si Ye Han was like a catalyst that pushed Si Yi Yan to the road of becoming the villain ." Yan Yan" Jiang Ning softly called out to her instant son ; she feared that all her hard work will go down if she didn't distanced her son from Si Ye Han .Sob SobHer life was so difficult , plot line where are you off to? How come Si Ye Han came back ? Didn't he hated the original owner ?how come he was
Jiang Ning placed the dishes on the dining table and no sooner has she done that , everyone including Old master Si came rushing in . The old Master Si was the first one to take a seat at the head of the table and once he was comfortably settled , he pulled the dish containing the sour and spicy snails towards him , not even a slightest bit ashamed about not sharing it with his grandchildren .The snails were soaked in rice water for 2 – 3 hours. before Jiang Ning cleaned them again and bring them to boil until they were cooked. She carefully took out their meat and threw away their covers.later she cleaned and sliced small cabbage, carrot, cucumber and off the cover of garlics and onions and mincing them well.Then she added 2 tablspoons vinegar, 1 tablespoon chili paste, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon roasted sesame into small bowl and mixed it well after that she pour the mixed spices into mixture salad .Jiang Ning pressed all of the mixture gently to make s
"So " Once they reached the study , Old Master Si turned around at once looking at Si his displeasure " so , why have you come here , why now ?"" Father-"" Father ! So you still remember that I'm your father !" yelled Old master Si interrupting Si Ye Han from speaking his part " why didn't you remember that I'm your father when you left home for years ! abandoning your father , your wife and your kids for a woman - a woman like her !"Luckily , the study was sound proof and no sounds escaped out . However, Old Master Si wasn't done he took out a battered copy of an old newspaper from somewhere and flinged it at Si Ye Han 's feet .Si Ye Han caught it before it fell to the floor and on the front page of the entertainment section was his and Ning Yuya's picture , the one where they took Ning Xuya to a diner . He read the headline , ' a wonderful love affair of the Film E
Jiang Ning had no idea about what went between Old master Si and Si Ye Han, infact with Si Xinya 's birthday party preparations she was so busy that , her feets looked as if they were flying . Si Xinya birthday was on the weekend and Jiang Ning had to send invitations ton everyone including Si Xinya 's kindergarten friends .Because of which she spent a good amount of her time in the kitchen for the past few hours .She had decided to send bouquet of macarons to each oh her invitee, and was now preparing strawberry macarons .She took the egg whites and whipped them for 30 seconds or so until they got some bubbles then she added some cream of tartar and sugar and further continued to whipp on high to until she got stiff glossy peaks.Jiang Ning added strawberry extract as she just got out of emulsion , and then added in a drop of pink for food coloring.
Si Ye Han hesitated , truth be told, Ning Yuya wasn't asking much from him . They could really have a small little meal with each other and then He can come back to the Si mansion .As long as it was a quick dinner , he don't think that Sister Xi will complain regarding it?He was going to agree to it when a sudden knock came from His door . Si Ye Han turned frowning , who was knocking at his door so early in the morning ." Si Ye Han, Its me " a mellow voice came from behind the door , Si Ye Han stiffened and so did Ning Yuya ." Sister Xi , is that you ?" putting the phone on his side , Si Ye Han walked across his room , opening the door " Sister Xi , why did you went all through the trouble ? You could have ask me to come and meet you" .Si Ye Han stepped aside giving adequate space to Sister Xi , who stepped through the threshold into his room , munching on what looked like a strawberry macaron .
“Cl..classmate Mo?” Xiao Zhi felt all the blood Darin from her face and her complexion turned pale. She really didn’t know what possessed her, a second ago she was totally fine, even if she was angry at Ning Xuya, she wasn’t stupid enough to push the latter in such a conspicuous manner and place. This place wasn’t far away from the basketball court of their school, she could easily be spotted and seen ..so why did she do such a foolish mistake? She was smarter than this! Xiao Zhi was indeed smart, she was the school’s bully yet no one has ever been able to catch her. She would bully any girl who got close to the boy she liked but toady - why, why did she push Ning Xuya here of all places, if she wanted to do something like this she could have dealt with her somewhere else, where no one would see her!Xiao Zhi who was in today to panic didn’t see the victorious smile on Ning Xuya’s face as she bowed her head and hid the mal
Jiang Ning didn't know what Si Ye Han did, but in just a few hours the two of them had made it to the trending searches.# jiang and Si# Si Ye Han and Jiang Ning# Jiang Ning the beauty of the century#Si Ye Han says goodbye to Ning YuyaA lot of searches like this made it the number one spot on Weibo making everyone get involved with the love triangle of Si Ye Han, Jiang Ning and Ning Yuya , even an innocent passerby couldn't help but pause to look at the fight going on between the Ning fans and the Goddess Jiang fans.[ hahaha didn't I say that only a stupid would look at Ning Yuya when Goddess Jiang is right next to him? Didn't those brainless fans call my goddess old and ugly where is she ugly? Read the caption if you want ‘ My beautiful wife’ and reflect at yourself, even the film emperor Han called my goddess the most beautiful woman of, the country T! Haha, what do you have to say now? ]Back then when Jiang Ning used to be je
Jiang Ning looked at the hairpin in his hand and frowned before asking “ why didn’t you let your stylist do it for you? I don’t know how to tie it up” she wasn’t lying though she had an obsessive-compulsive disorder, she was no good with doing hairstyles. But looking at Si Ye Han‘s fluttering hair, her OCD couldn’t help but be triggered she so wanted to neatly tuck it in. Only if she knew how to!“ the stylist is a woman,” said Si Ye Han casually like it explained his weird behaviour.Jiang Ning stared at his face for two seconds looking at him like she wanted to tear open his head and see what exactly goes in his head “ and what’s that supposed to mean ?”Si Ye Han shrugged, winking, he crouched down in front of her “ I can not let other women touch my hair, only my wife is allowed to do that”Jiang Ning flushed, she glared at him and snatched the hairpin out of his hand
Ning Yuya was furious she knew better than anyone how important Si Ye Han was to her, without his last name, she will have to go back from where she came from, and she didn't want to! That small country house with a leaking roof and mouldy smell, she will never be able to return to that place, why? why does she need to go back there? That place was her hell, once she went back to that poor undeveloped village she will be reduced to a mere ugly, village woman. No ! she cannot let happen, she had clawed her way out of that place with great difficulty she will never return there, she and her daughter deserved better than that! Yes, they deserved a life full of comfort!Just when she thinking about what to do next, her phone rang disrupting her thoughts. furious she wanted to scold the person who called her but when she saw the name that was flashing on her phone’s screen, her complexion turned green, she didn't want to pick up the phone but she knew that if she didn't the
“Brother Han?” Ning Yuya was stunned, though she knew that Si Ye Han has lost his memory, she didn't think that he would be so rude to her in public. They were artists from the same company, after all, if he were to act like in front of everyone wouldn't they know that something was wrong between the two of them, the speculations and rumours can harm their company! What was he trying to do? It's fine if he wants to treat her rudely to her in private but at least leave her some face in front of everyone else! She was enraged at his apathetic attitude towards her but she have learned to keep her temper in check, for years she had to swallow humiliation to get where she was now, so something like this couldn't possibly make her lose her composure. Though Ning Yuya’s expression didn't even flinch in the slightest, her fingers were tightly clenched. Her nails dug in her skin until they left marks.” Brother Han, I know I was wrong but can you stop being angry with
Si Ye Han and Jiang Ning walked inside the filming location like a power couple. Everyone's eyes were on them, no matter what the staff was doing they all stopped and focussed their attention on the two of them. One handsome man with his arm around a beautiful woman, together the two of them looked like they walked out of a beautiful painting. " it's true? I thought that the spot boys were joking when they said the two of them came together"" I already said no man with a pair of working eyes would look at Ning Yuya, while he is with a goddess-like Jiang Ning"" are you out of your mind? Don't you know how temperamental Jiang Ning is? Just wait she will start throwing her temper very soon and then you will know what kind of Goddess she is "" hah, a bitter fan of a bitter idol, my goddess Jiang is a cold beauty, with her beauty alone she can crush anyone without even moving her hand, what do you know? If she was my wife, I would let her stomp
Broke my laptop - sorry - will spoil you with two chap everyday until this book finish.Jiang Ning mouth curled up and she stepped on Si Ye Han's foot but because they were surrounded by a crowd of reporters no one noticed her actions. Even Si Ye Han, whose foot was getting stomped on didn't change his expression at all, his smile was intact and he kept answering the reporters calmly. The reporters saw that Si Ye Han was willing to answer their questions and they got even more excited.How can they be not excited? The Film emperor said that he was going to have another child with the Goddess of the Film industry. It was breaking news! Even more of breaking news than the scandalous affair of Si Ye Han with Ning Yuya.After all who was Ning Yuya? A third tier actress, if not for Si Ye Han's popularity she wouldn't have even made it this far! But who was Jiang Ning? She was the Goddess! The Goddess who can lift her finger and condemn any actor, id
Because Si Ye Han used food as bait, Jiang Ning agreed to share a ride with him. The two of the first stopped at the bakery where Si Ye Han displayed his wide range of connections and got Jiang Ning the speciality of the bakery. Jiang Ning held the package that was emitting the sweet yet non-greasy delicious scent, swallowed her drool. She wanted to eat a bite of the sweet pastry and savour its taste but Si Ye Han stopped her as she reached for one.“Don't eat something sweet, or else you might get bloated?” said Si Ye Han as he took away the package from Jiang Ning’s lap “ eat it afterwards or else your stomach will start bloating because of the sugar”“ then why did you buy it for me?” said Jiang Ning feeling a bit unhappy, she thought that Si Ye Han was deliberately trying to tease her. Cakes were supposed to be eaten, what was the meaning of can't eat now and had to wait for a specific time? What does this mean?
Both class A and Class B could be considered as the elites of the international school. And they were fairly well known in the entire school body, Class A had won plenty of trophies and so has Class B, escalating their rivalry to another level.This time no one knew who started it but before anyone knew it, both sections were onto each other and that was how Mo Ting and Si Yi Yan were dragged into this stupid sports festival. As the male gods of the International school, their participation was mandatory.Mo Ting just like Si Yi Yan, was the standard of male gods, good looks, tall and impeccable grades. Most importantly he was really nice to the girls of his section as compared to Si Yi Yan who acted like a human aircon whenever girls tried to approach him. Si Yi Yan who was standing a good distance away from the race track could still hear the loud cheers of the girls as they cheered Mo Ting on, and if he wasn't wrong, even the girls of
