Chapter 542 Called Her A Liar
Everyone there knew how much Ouyang Qing hated Ning Ran, so they verbally attacked Ning Ran together.
It was nice to speak ill of someone behind their backs because there was a common hatred. However, Nan Xing’s
involvement in the conversation turned the situation sour.
Nan Xing was Nan Chen’s biological brother, so his stories, especially those involving the Nan family, carried a lot of
credibilities.
He had publicly regarded Ning Ran as his sister-in-law, and that sent an implicit message of how he was on her side.
That, in turn, meant that he was going against Ouyang Qing.
The part where Ouyang Qing was most angry about, however, was how Nan Xing claimed that Nan Chen and Ning
Ran were on good terms.
That was equivalent to calling Ouyang Qing a liar.
“Are they married?” challenged Ouyang Qing while glaring at Nan Xing.
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“You shouldn’t call her your sister-in-law if she hasn’t signed on the dotted lines. Don’t you know that’s not right?
Would you regard a random girl on the street as your sister-in-law? Do you see every woman who has any contact
with Nan Chen as your sister-in-law?” growled Ouyang Qing angrily.
Nan Xing chuckled. “Everyone knows my brother won’t hang out with just any woman. He’s an endangered species
who has a very specific taste, so there is no need for you to worry about me making a mistake.”
“You…” Ouyang Qing was so angry that she pointed a finger at Nan Xing and demanded, “You’re not welcomed
here. F*ck off”
“Okay,” replied Nan Xing happily.
He never wanted to socialize with them anyway, so the insult came in a timely manner. They basically gave him an
amazing excuse.
He took a few steps forward before he turned around and warned, “By the way, don’t tell me to f*ck off the next
time you want me to leave. If I hear those words again, I will kick you out.”
After saying all that, he left.
Ouyang Qing was utterly embarrassed because Nan Xing had dissed her in front of her friends.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe wanted to chase after him and further insult him, but she was worried about Nan Xing actually kicking her out
of the place.
At the time, her only shot at accomplishing her goals was Nan Xing, so she could not go overboard.
That was why she chose to hold her anger in.
Half an hour later, Ouyang Qing’s friends left. She went to another private room in Orchid Club and met up with her
father, Ouyang Duo, there.
The first thing the man did was scold Ouyang Qing. “Nan Xing is nothing but a useless piece of trash, so why did you
choose him?”
Ouyang Qing had gotten into a fight with Nan Xing earlier, so she was irritable as well.
Hence, she bellowed, “Dad, you have long known that Nan Xing is nothing compared to Nan Chen, so why are you
putting the blame on me now? It’s not like I have another choice.”
“I know he’s the lesser brother, but I didn’t expect him to be that terrible! He’s like toxic waste from a factory and is
utterly useless,” complained Ouyang Duo.
“What did the two of you talk about? Why did you meet up with him?”
“Why do you think? I asked him over to tell him I’d support him if he wants to build a career or compete against his
brother. Who would’ve thought that he’d say that he dislikes power and simply wants to enjoy life? Seriously, how
useless does a man have to be to say something like that?”
Ouyang Qing did not know how to respond to that. She was truly disappointed in Nan Xing, but there was nothing
she could do. Her disappointment did not change the fact that she could not find anyone better.
“No, this won’t do. We have to turn things around,” said Ouyang Duo as he picked up the wineglass on the table and
downed his drink.
“How do we do that?” asked Ouyang Qing.
“We’ll ignite his passion and his desire for power by making him feel threatened.”
“That might prove to be difficult. Some people are simply born without ambition.”
Nan Xing was born with a silver spoon and had always had a luxurious life. Men like him did not need to worry about
anything.
There’s one just like him in our own family, too.
Naturally, the person Ouyang Qing was thinking about was Ouyang Qi.
“Nan Xing’s life has been too easy, and that is why he thinks he doesn’t need to grow. We must destroy that belief
of his. Nan Chen always has Nan Xing’s back and will clean up whatever mess the latter makes. That is why Nan
Xing has always seen Nan Chen as a dependable brother and thinks the world of the guy. However, if Nan Chen
proves to be unreliable, Nan Xing will probably start thinking about his own future and whether he wants to keep
depending on Nan Chen.”
Ouyang Qing felt as though her father was deliberately being confusing. Why would Nan Chen be unreliable? The
guy is extremely powerful. Moreover, he’s young and healthy, so he wouldn’t have any health-related issues for the
time being. It’d be extremely difficult to make him seem unreliable.
“I don’t care what you have to do. Just drive a wedge between him and Nan Chen,” added Ouyang Duo to clarify
what he meant.
Ouyang Qing understood her father’s plan right away. Truth was, she had considered doing something similar in the
past.
She hated Nan Chen now, and she knew the entire family would suffer if Nan Chen and Nan Xing got into a fight.
Their suffering was something Ouyang Qing craved, so she would be happy, even if Nan Xing would fail to beat Nan
Chen.
Unfortunately, that mission was virtually impossible to accomplish.
“Nan Chen and Nan Xing are twins, and they have always been close. It’s way too difficult to get them to turn on
each other,” replied Ouyang Qing, sharing her concern with her father.
“It doesn’t matter how difficult the task is. We have to do it, regardless. Nan Xing won’t feel threatened and grow
unless there was a conflict between him and Nan Chen. Naturally, it’d be best if their fight gives us an opening to
involve ourselves in the matter. Think about it. Why are Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan so polite to you? It’s because they
both need you! If Nan Xing feels threatened, he’ll turn to you for moral support,” uttered Ouyang Duo.
Then, he continued, “Sooner or later, he will get closer to you and trust you. He might even lean on you. Yes, that is
the best option for us! Turning the brothers against each other will be the outline of our plan for now. We’ll spend
more time figuring out the details in the future. Trust me. Everything is possible as long as we put our mind to it.”
“Okay, I’ll try.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe next morning, Ning Ran woke up early to prepare breakfast.
She had to continue shooting the movie today, and her schedule was pretty packed at the time, so she did not have
much free time to hang out with her kids. That was why she had to prepare the kids’ breakfasts quickly before
rushing to the filming site.
Nan Chen woke up even earlier and was already done with his morning exercise routine.
The kids did not need to go to school, so they had been sleeping in lately. However, they heard a commotion
outside, so they woke up anyway.
The maids showed up just in time. Since there were two kids, there was no way one nanny could handle taking care
of both. Hence, the Nan family sent five maids over. Each kid would have two maids taking care of them, and the
remaining maid would be responsible for cleaning and cooking.
The truth, however, was that the kids did not need that many nannies. Erbao would only be mischievous
occasionally, and Dabao was downright perfect. He would either read a book or play on his computer, so there was
no need for anyone to babysit him at all.
Even though Ning Ran did not prepare that many breakfast, she invited the maids to join them, anyway.
The maids turned her down, though. They let her eat up and rush to work before preparing their own breakfasts.
They were not in a hurry anyway, so that was the right thing to do.
“Mommy, how long before we go to school again?” asked Erbao suddenly during breakfast.
“Your holiday just started. Are you missing school already?” questioned Ning Ran curiously.
“It’s so boring here because I’m not allowed to watch cartoons continuously, and Dabao is too busy with his projects
to play with me. The nannies don’t know how to play either, so it’s impossible for me,” complained Erbao.
Ah, so she’s bored at home.
“What do you want to do, then? Hmm… how about I drop you off at your great-grandma’s place?” asked Ning Ran.
Erbao’s tiny head shook like a rattle-drum. “No, no, no. It’s even more boring over there.”
“But the holiday is not over yet. You may be bored at home, but we can’t ask the school to reopen sooner. How
about I take you to a daycare center? There are many kids there, and you can play with them.”
“Nope,” banned Nan Chen before Erbao could say anything.
