Chapter 20
Tang Mo'er's beautiful face became deathly pale in an instant, her forehead creasing up as she gasped . She had been pampered all her life and never experienced such pain before . She could feel cold beads of sweat forming on her forehead and she clutched at her waist protectively .
Within moments, an angry growl thundered through the air, "What the hell are you people doing here? Get out of the way!"
A hoard of security guards hired by the mall and bodyguards dressed in black uniforms rushed into the chaotic scene . They dispersed the crowd, forming a human barricade for Su Zhe to pass through . He bent down and embraced Han Xiaowan, who was heavily injured, before he turned and glowered at Tang Mo'er .
"Tang Mo'er, Xiaowan is your sister . How could you bear to push her down the stairs? Are you even human?" Su Zhe scolded Tang Mo'er, his voice a harsh bite as he glared at her .
Tang Mo'er lifted her eyes warily and scanned her surroundings, noticing many passersby filming her with their cell phone camera . She looked at Su Zhe's hateful face before her eyes fell on Han Xiaowan, held in Su Zhe's arms . Han Xiaowan looked as if she was at her last breath . Her face was covered heavy smatterings of blood and her yellow dress in tattered shreds that exposed her injured legs and beaten body . Looking at her pitiful state, anyone would feel distressed on her behalf, however, she stared at Tang Mo'er, lips hooked into a disturbing smile .
Tang Mo'er realized too late that she had stepped right into Han Xiaowan's trap .
…
In the police station .
The police officers at the station looked at Tang Mo'er . They were in an obvious predicament as she was the mayor's daughter . Nobody had the courage to offend her, even though she had committed intentional assault .
Tang Mo'er spoke impassively, her voice closed and face expressionless, "I didn't push Han Xiaowan, she fell down the stairs by herself . If you don't believe my words, you can check the surveillance cameras at the mall . "
"Miss Tang, we have already obtained the tapes . However, we can't confirm whether or not you… pushed her down the stairs as her back was facing the cameras . "
Tang Mo'er didn't bother to continue with her explanation once she realized that Han Xiaowan had planned all of it meticulously . No one would believe that Han Xiaowan had stepped back herself, even she couldn't believe the ruthlessness, though she had seen it with her own eyes .
"Miss Tang, do you need to make a call to Mayor Tang for him to arrange for a lawyer to bail you out? If you aren't going to make the call, we will have to keep you in custody . " The police officer stated his words after careful consideration .
She didn't want to stay here!
Tang Mo'er gave his words some thought . After some contemplation, she took a silent breath, before taking out her cell phone from her purse . Her fingers gently pressed the characters to search for her father, Tang Hai's phone number .
The phone rang once before the call connected, "Hello, may I know who is calling?"
It wasn't Tang Hai's voice in the phone, it was his female secretary .
"Hello, it's me, Tang Mo'er . "
"Miss Tang, hello . May I know what I can help you with?"
"Where is my father?"
"Mayor Tang is currently having a meeting . You may leave a message with me and I'll help you convey it after his meeting is over . "
"Oh, don't worry about it, it's fine…" Tang Mo'er ended the call .
She had a distant relationship with her father, especially since he had remarried and started a new family . Her step brother was five years younger than her and had speech impairment since birth . It was probably because of this that her father had put all of his attention into caring for his younger son .
If she were to count, they had probably spoken fewer than one hundred sentences in the past 21 years .
She had never asked for any help from her father, even during her most difficult times .
Now that she had faced some trouble, who could she look for?
Tang Mo'er started to search for her mother, Qin Yawen's contact number .
Her phone screen suddenly lit up, Qin Yawen was calling her .
Tang Mo'er felt touched, her heart warming when she saw an incoming phone call from 'Mom' . She speedily picked up the phone call, "Hello, mom . "
"Where are you now?", Qin Yawen's voice was cold and to the point .
Tang Mo'er paused a while before she answered, "I'm at the police station . "
"I'll be there very soon . " Qin Yawen ended the phone call .
"Miss Tang, is anyone coming to bail you out?" The police officer asked, his voice and eyes betraying his doubt .
Tang Mo'er held her cell phone tightly and answered, "There should be… someone coming . "
Almost immediately after she replied, Qin Yawen appeared . She looked youthful and elegant, despite being 45 years old . She wore an outfit that was monochrome in black and white and had long hair that cascaded in gorgeous waves down her back . She had become the youngest female actress to win a prestigious award after her first movie and after many years, she was still as beautiful and elegant as ever . She definitely portrayed the role of a good mother very well .
