The first thing Ouyang Qing did when she arrived at the Orchid Club was smashed Ouyang Duo’s wine glass on the
floor.
Her actions shocked both Ouyang Duo and Feng Jialing as she rarely threw tantrums like this.
What happened to her? Why is she so mad?
“What are you doing, Qing? This isn’t like you!” Ouyang Duo shouted at her.
“Ugh, I’m so pissed! She’s just a small-time actress! How dare she humiliate me like this?” Ouyang Qing was
fuming.
“What happened? Did Ding Mi bully you again? What did she do this time?” Feng Jialing asked.
“She got her kids to confess to me on behalf of Nan Xing! She knows I like Nan Chen, so she did that to embarrass
me!” Ouyang Qing said angrily.
Ouyang Duo and Feng Jialing exchanged glances, confused by how bizarre her explanation sounded.
How could the kids confess to her on behalf of Nan Xing? That just sounds absurd!
They didn’t dare ask her anything further as she was in a bad mood, but it was clear that she had been bullied.
“I thought you were having dinner with Nan Chen? Why was she there too?”
“How on earth would I know? Dad, you have to do something about Ding Mi! Make her leave Nan Chen for good! I
don’t wanna see her ever again!” Ouyang Qing pleaded.
Ouyang Duo felt helpless in that situation too. “Isn’t that what you’ve been doing the whole time? Why haven’t you
succeeded? How could my daughter let a small-time actress bully her for so long? Are you seriously asking me to
personally deal with a nobody?”
“It’s all because of Ouyang Qi! Not only does he not help me, but he also even took her side and gave her plenty of
support! This is ridiculous!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOuyang Qing got even angrier at the mention of Ouyang Qi.
He’s my brother, and yet he’s helping that woman instead!
“Didn’t I tell him to help you out? What did he do this time?”
“Help me out? All he did was help them bully me! I couldn’t even find him, so I don’t know where he was the whole
time!”
Ouyang Duo motioned for his daughter to calm down. “What do you plan on doing now? We live in a lawful society,
so it’d be too risky to have someone kill her off. Remember, she has blessed the Nan family with two kids! If we kill
her, they’d come after us for sure! We must be cautious with what we do!”
He was still somewhat afraid after his previous encounter with Nan Chen.
“So what, do I just sit by and let her bully me? She’s rising to fame now that her show is trending, and it’ll be even
more difficult to take her out once she becomes a huge star! Also, I’ve received word that they’ll start shooting her
new movie soon. Nan Chen is definitely trying to make her a superstar!” Ouyang Qing grew increasingly agitated as
she spoke.
“Weren’t you involved in the investment of the new film? Why is she still being given the lead role?” Ouyang Duo
asked.
“I tried to frame her for leaking the script, but her kids saw through my plans. While I may be an investor, Nan Chen
is the lead investor. On top of that, she’s the contracted artiste of Star Entertainment, so it’s only natural that he’d
give her the lead role.”
“How do you plan to stop her from starring in this film?” Feng Jialing interrupted.
“I don’t care! She mustn’t be allowed to star in the film! I want her to leave even if she makes it into the production
team!” Ouyang Qing’s tone was filled with hatred.
Meanwhile, Ning Ran and the others had returned to their villa in Red Maple City after a sumptuous meal.
Erbao was in a great mood and hummed a tune as she went upstairs.
She loved how fun it was to steal the spotlight and anger Ouyang Qing, especially since it was helpful to her mother.
After bathing the kids, Ning Ran cleaned herself up and went to the study room.
To her surprise, Nan Chen wasn’t in there.
She went over to the window and saw him swimming in the pool.
Whoa… He’s swimming at night during early winter?
Ning Ran was in a great mood too after getting back at Ouyang Qing.
She used to think Ouyang Qing was polite and generous but realized how pretentious the other woman was after
getting to know her.
Although Ouyang Qing had cleared her name regarding the leaked script, Ning Ran knew she was definitely trying
to frame her for it.
That was especially the case due to Ouyang Qing’s increasingly obvious efforts at winning Nan Chen over.
Ning Ran grabbed a bottle of wine from the rack and went downstairs with two glasses in hand.
A sudden blast of cold wind hit her as soon as she stepped outside, and she buttoned up her shirt collar in response.
What is she up to now? Does she plan on having a drink to celebrate her victory tonight? Nan Chen wondered as he
saw her approaching with a bottle of wine.
“Hey, stop swimming! You’ll catch a cold!” Ning Ran called out to him.
Nan Chen swam towards her and stood up in the shallow end of the pool, revealing his muscular upper body. “What
do you want?”
“What do you think? I came here to tell you to stop swimming! It’s cold out here!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What’s the wine bottle for, then?” Nan Chen asked.
“You love swimming after drinking, don’t you? I thought I’d have a drink with you.” Ning Ran said with a chuckle.
Nan Chen could tell why she was in such a good mood. This woman sure is a cunning one! She must’ve planned all
that with the kids!
“Aren’t you the one who said I shouldn’t swim after drinking? Are you trying to murder your husband here?”
Ning Ran froze. Wait… Murder my husband? Who’s my husband?
“How are you my husband, Sir Chen?” Ning Ran laughed.
Nan Chen’s expression grew cold. “Are you implying that you have another man as your husband?”
It took Ning Ran a moment to recollect herself.
“Look, I just thought I’d have a drink with you because I’m in a good mood, okay? You could’ve just said no if you
didn’t want to. That insult was unnecessary! I’m leaving!”
Ning Ran turned around and began walking up the stairs as her mood was ruined.
“Hold it right there.” Nan Chen said as he got out from the pool and began walking towards her.
“What, are you gonna take me by force now?”
“I might not be interested even if you wanted me to. Now, wipe me dry.” Nan Chen handed her a towel.
Ning Ran waved the wine bottle and glass at him and motioned for him to do it himself.
“Put those down and wipe me dry. I’ll tell you a secret if you do.” Nan Chen said.
“A secret?” Ning Ran let her curiosity get the better of her.
“Yes, a secret.” Nan Chen nodded.
Ning Ran put the bottle and glass down on the table next to them upon hearing that. She then took the towel over
and began wiping him dry as requested.
