My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Although Feng Wan seemed to be only scolding Bai Hua , her words were not directed to her alone.

When she scolded Bai Hua for belittling the Nan family, it was also directed to the Ouyangs.

How could a sly man like Ouyang Duo not realize that she was picking on them too?

After all, the Nan family was the most influential family in Flower City.

Even if he wanted to take advantage of them, he should not provoke the family.

With that in mind, he straightened and tried to appease her. “Madam, please calm down. Jialing may not good with

words but she has no intention to offend you in any way. Please forgive her.”

Nan Zhengde jumped in to help him too. “Ouyang Duo, please sit down. Those are words of an old lady with no

sense of propriety, so don’t mind her.”

Then, he turned around to shout at Feng Wan, “That’s enough. You are talking about Bai Hua, but this dear boy felt

the pinch affected too!”

As a couple for many years, they had developed a tacit understanding.

After Nan Zhengde spoke, Feng Wan remained silent.

Instead, she bent down to pick Erbao up. “Oh dear, be good, Erbao. Don’t cry, alright?

“In the future, I will never talk to adults anymore. All of you don’t keep your promises!” Erbao continued to wail.

“We will not go back on our words! Erbao, you are not at fault, and it is all your grandmother’s fault,” Feng Wan

cooed.

Without a word, Dabao secretly gave Erbao a thumbs up to praise his sister’s amazing acting.

At that moment, Chai Hua walked in and reported, “Old Master, Young Master is back. He says that he will see you

after he washes up.”

“Chen is back? Alright, let’s wait for him then. Take away these dishes and prepare new ones instead!” Nan

Zhengde ordered.

After Ouyang Duo heard that Nan Chen was back, he smirked. That’s great. Since I have been ridiculed today, I

shall teach the Nan family a lesson, and he is just in time for it.

If they show resistance, I will threaten them and let them know that they will not salvage the losses incurred from

the Vietnam project.

Since our conversation was going nowhere, I might as well take it all the way.

“Chen is home just in time. If you have any questions, you can direct them to him,” Nan Zhengde smiled and said to

Ouyang Duo.

He had confidence in Nan Chen, to give good answers.

Why? After Nan Chen came home, he must have heard that they have a guest over, and he would have guessed

that it was Ouyang Duo.

If he is not prepared to face Ouyang Duo and is still hesitant, he would have left secretly without informing the

guest of his presence.

Since he did not do so and even said he would come down after washing up, he is prepared to deal with Ouyang

Duo.

Since Nan Chen had the confidence to meet Ouyang Duo, Nan Zhengde naturally had faith in him.

He knew his grandson’ very well. He is not someone who will fight a losing battle.

On the other hand, Ouyang Duo did not think much of it and thought that Nan Chen would beg him. He was sure

that Nan Chen would agree to their collaboration on the project in Vietnam.

After the two children made him look bad, he could not let it go easily.

Instead of the original terms and conditions, I am determined to make them harsher.

Previously, Nan Chen hesitated to agree to the partnership.

Since he will be begging to work with me, I will not stick to those original terms. I will give him a taste of my power!

With that in mind, Ouyang Duo grinned.

Seeing how Ouyang Duo’s eyes were sparkling with excitement, Nan Zhengde started wondering. Why does he

seem so happy? Did he come out with a new plan?

His faith in Nan Chen began to fade as he watched Ouyang Duo’s delighted expression.

After all, Ouyang Duo was a sly old fox. Even though Nan Chen was very competent, he was still much younger than

Ouyang Duo and may be less experienced. Therefore, it was only natural for Nan Zhengde to worry.

However, he quickly let those thoughts go. This is Flower City, and we are the Nan family. I am well and alive, so

what is there to worry about?

Lost in their own thoughts, Ouyang Duo and Nan Zhengde made small talk before Nan Chen arrived.

“Hello, Grandpa, Uncle, and Dad,” he nodded his head and greeted.

“Chen, you are back! You must have been busy. Come, eat something first,” Nan Zhengde crooned, feeling bad as

he looked at his filial grandson.

“Daddy, I missed you!” Erbao threw her arms around Nan Chen.

Picking Erbao up, Nan Chen said, “Have you been naughty?”

“No,” his daughter shook her head.

“Did you follow your teacher’s instructions?” He continued to ask.

“Yes, I did! I even received a reward!” Erbao boasted.

Smiling, Nan Chen commented, “Good job. Continue to behave in school, okay? I have to talk to your Great-

Grandpa, so both of you can leave first.”

“Yes, Daddy,” his two children replied obediently and left.

He was showing the Ouyangs how he brought up his children. His children were not naughty, but they chose how to

behave depending on who they were facing.

“You should head out too,” Nan Zhengde stated, glancing at Feng Wan.

Since you men have things to discuss, we women should not meddle in it. I’ll head out to take care of my great-

grandchildren then,” Feng Wan stood up to leave.

Since Feng Wan left, Bai Hua was in no position to stay there.

Without a doubt, it was inappropriate for Ouyang Duo’s wife, Feng Jialing, to be there too.

Therefore, the females left, giving the room and time for Nan Chen and the rest to talk.

However, Nan Zhiyuan still remained in his seat.

In terms of gender, he was not a woman, and as a man, he had the right to stay there.

He thought he could remain there by fluke and attend this important meeting, which only the men could

participate.

Unfortunately, he overestimated his status within the Nan family.

Nan Zhengde stared at him and asked, “Why are you still here?”

Awkwardly, Nan Zhiyuan stood up and said, “Oh, it’s nothing. I’ll leave you guys now. I shall join the women and

make sure they don’t start gossiping.”

Although he was reluctant to leave, he still walked out of the dining hall.

To Ouyang Duo, this was the family’s biggest conflict, and he had to use it to his advantage.

Meanwhile, Nan Chen was hungry, so he ate a whole bowl of rice which was more than what he usually ate.

“Chen, are you full?” Nan Zhengde asked.

“Yes, I am.”

Nan Zhengde nodded and suggested, “Then, let’s head to the reception room. I’ll get someone to clean up the

dishes.”

There were beverages, ranging from tea to alcohol in the reception room. It was more suitable for them to head

there for a discussion and relax after dinner.

Nan Chen poured a glass of wine for Ouyang Duo. “Uncle, you are a wine expert. Please try Grandpa’s prized

collection. I only get to try it because you are here as Grandpa would not open it for me.”

Nan Zhengde chuckled, “Rascal, you are spouting nonsense. Am I that stingy? Well, look who’s talking. You have

flown all over the world, but you have never brought back any wine for me.”

Then, Ouyang Duo commented with a smile, “This is wine is really good. Based on the wine you own, you can

practically hold a wine auction on these high-quality wine.”

“There is even more in the wine cellar. Uncle, you should come here more often, so I can serve you more of such

wine and get a taste of it too,” Nan Chen responded.

“Sure, when you and Qing get married, and we become a family, I will come here every day to drink these quality

wines!” Ouyang Duo raised the topic again.
