Auntie Wu seemed hesitant to speak.

  After Fu Tianci called off the marriage agreement, Mu Mantong became a lot calmer and thought about a lot of things.

  Her actions previously, as well as her mental distortions, had all been because she felt inferior.

  She watched as Fu Tianci got further and further away, flying higher and higher, and there were more and more people who liked him. However, she could only watch from her wheelchair as he advanced forward. She felt that she was a good-for-nothing, that she was getting further and further away from him. She felt that she was getting less and less worthy of him!

  She then saw how the many female celebrities who worked with Fu Tianci were all very beautiful and tall. She started to feel that she was going to lose Fu Tianci, and it made her behave improperly.

  However, it was only after the marriage agreement was called off that Mu Mantong started to calm down.

  She couldn’t restrain her love for Fu Tianci and wanted to know all the news about him. Therefore, she secretly joined Fu Tianci’s fan club.

  There, she found out that there were many young ladies who liked Fu Tianci like she did. However, all of them hoped that Fu Tianci could walk further and fly higher!

  It was only then that Mu Mantong understood that this was probably…… what liking someone really was!

  When she was with Fu Tianci, she shouldn’t have felt inferior, felt that she wasn’t worthy of him, and thus felt wary toward all the females around him! She should have made herself better and improved together with Fu Tianci. It was because she, Mu Mantong, was also outstanding……

  Jealousy caused one’s soul to become distorted.

  After finishing the bird’s nest porridge, Mu Mantong said to Auntie Wu, “Push me to the rehabilitation room……”


  Auntie Wu passed a hot towel to Mu Mantong for her to wipe her mouth and hands. She said, “The therapist will only be here in another half an hour. You should rest first!”


  Mu Mantong shook her head. “I’d like to warm up first before the therapist arrives!”


  Auntie Wu frowned as she looked at Mu Mantong. Mu Mantong had been practicing her walking very hard during this period of time, wanting to get back on her feet. Auntie Wu was afraid that Mu Mantong’s body might not be able to take it.

  “Auntie Wu, I want to be able to stand up. I’m not afraid of hard work……” Mu Mantong looked up and smiled at Auntie Wu, exuding a calm and peaceful aura. “I hope that…… I’ll be able to stand up one day and go attend Fu Tianci’s concert! For this…… I’m willing to give it my all!”


  Mu Mantong wanted to look at the boy she loved deeply with her own eyes when he was on the stage, shining brightly!

  It wouldn’t be through the computer, nor through the photos that others sent to her. She wanted to stand under the stage, looking at the energetic and lively Fu Tianci on the stage, lighting up the placard in her hands.

  “Let’s go!” Mu Mantong said.

  After a few months of hard work, Mu Mantong was already able to stand up. She came to the rehabilitation room and stood up with great difficulty as she held onto the parallel bars.

  The therapist said that Mu Mantong had a tough battle to fight before she could walk. Mu Mantong wasn’t afraid in the least. She only wanted to be able to stand up quickly and be able to walk quickly.

  After standing for a few minutes, she clearly felt that it was strenuous. She held onto the parallel bars, making adjustments and taking a rest. She then gritted her teeth, wanting to lift up her right leg……

  To Mu Mantong, that feeling was as difficult as uprooting a mountain with her bare hands. She gritted her teeth and held onto the parallel bars vigorously. She clenched down on her teeth…… and raised her leg.

  Auntie Wu’s heart felt torn when she watched at the side.

  Mu Mantong’s head was covered in sweat, but her feet were still not moving at all.

  Fu Tianci had a concert at the end of July. Mu Mantong wanted to go then, so…… she wanted to be able to walk even if it meant that she had to give it her all.

  Mu Mantong gritted her teeth tightly, making another attempt to lift her leg, with a heart filled with love for Fu Tianci.

  Her eyes were bloodshot, and big droplets of sweat dripped down past her brows…… Her lashes were unable to withstand the weight of her perspiration, and it entered her eyes. Her eyes stung!

  Mu Mantong didn’t want to give up. She gritted her teeth and let out a soft bellow, using her last bit of energy……

  Auntie Wu, who was standing at the side with her heart aching, opened her eyes wide!

  She raised it up!

  Mu Mantong’s leg was raised up!

  When the therapist came in, he was astonished at the sight of Mu Mantong using all of her strength to lift up her leg.

  Even though it hadn’t been raised high…… based on the therapist’s conservative estimation, for the Mu Mantong who could now stand up, it’d take at least another three months before she could take her first step!

  He hadn’t expected…… that she would lift up her leg!

  “It’s lifted up! It’s lifted up!” Tears of joy flowed down Auntie Wu’s face as she covered her mouth, feeling excited.

  Had she lifted it up?

  Mu Mantong, who was completely drenched, only felt that everything in front of her eyes was blurred!

  It was as if all of her strength was sapped in an instant. Mu Mantong’s vision blackened out, and her hands that were holding onto the parallel bars lost their strength. She fell down weakly to the ground!

  “Tongtong!” Auntie Wu was given a shock.

  “Miss Mu!” The therapist dashed in. He threw his sling bag to the side and went down to check Mu Mantong’s condition.

  Mu Mantong was so exhausted that she was completely sapped of energy.

  However, her progress and her steadfast determination left the therapist very impressed.

  The news that Mu Mantong took a step seemed to have wings attached to it…… Her family quickly found out about it!

  The one who felt the happiest was undoubtedly Mu Mantong’s father.

  He looked at his daughter, who was lying in bed fast asleep with a pale countenance. His eyes moistened up and turned red.

  He tried to control his emotions as he listened to the therapist explaining Mu Mantong’s condition.

  The therapist said that Mu Mantong had the strongest will out of all of his patients. He said that…… since Mu Mantong had taken her first step today, she wouldn’t be far off from being able to move.

  Mu Mantong’s father couldn’t hold back the elation he was feeling. Behind his back, his hands clenched tightly, and he expressed his thanks to the therapist……

  “Let Miss Mu rest for a day today! After I’ve given her legs a simple massage, we can continue with the acupuncture. I’ll come over tomorrow and assess Miss Mu’s condition to see if we should continue with the training!”


  “Alright!” Mu Mantong’s father nodded and politely sent the therapist out.

  Mu Mantong only woke up at night. The massage and acupuncture had already ended, and her father asked her if her legs felt sore and swollen……

  The feeling in her legs was minor, but her arms felt extremely sore from having exerted too much force today.

  “You’ve taken the first step today. The second and third steps will come……” Mu Mantong’s father gently stroked Mu Mantong’s head. “My Tongtong will be like the other young ladies, wearing beautiful dresses and high heels! Father wants to have the first dance with you at your wedding!”


  Mu Mantong looked at her aged father and tried to wear a hearty smile as she nodded. “I’ll work hard for it!”


  At the same time, when Tang Xiangyuan refused to apologize, his manager also announced that he had canceled his contract with Tang Xiangyuan.

  Tang Xiangyuan’s reputation in the circle had always been bad. He had relied on the fact that he was popular and also had backing from his family to act indecently toward and even violate quite a number of female celebrities. All those female celebrities started to step forth in this commotion.

  Tang Xiangyuan knew that he was a goner when he saw all the curses directed toward him online.

  As expected, what followed was the breaking of the endorsement contracts, as well as cancellations of his work appointments.

  However, Tang Xiangyuan still acted like a profligate son. Even if he couldn’t continue on in the entertainment industry, he could just go back to inherit the Tang Group!

  However, the next day, Tang Xiangyuan, who was still in the hospital, heard the news that Pengcheng’s Mu family had suddenly taken action to seize the Tang family’s business!
