My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 970 Jealous

Nan Chen gave Rong Jilin a look of contempt.

Both Rong Yi and Rong Jilin were from the Rong family, but they were total opposites.

Nan Chen then directed his gaze toward Qiao Zhan, and the latter sneered, “You must've taken a path to come

here. Didn't you see two jeeps by the side of the road?”

Rong Jilin racked his brains. I think I did see two jeeps by the road.

Qian Zhan pressed on, “I have my men stationed in the vehicles. However, out of respect for Mr. Rong Yi, they

refrained from following you here. Once you evaded their surveillance, they promptly contacted the police.

Fortunately, I have connections within the police force, granting me some influence over the outcome of your case.

Both Sir Chen and Ms. Ning have graciously agreed to spare you this time, solely due to Mr. Rong Yi's involvement. It

would be in your best interest to leave immediately unless you want to get arrested and end up in jail.”

Rong Jilin's expression changed abruptly when he heard that.

Right then, Qiao Zhan's phone rang.

Rong Jilin grew even more surprised. Didn't I jam all mobile signals? Why is his phone ringing?

Qiao Zhan shook his phone, explaining, “Your jamming device is switched off. Don't you believe me? I'm going to

repeat this—Sir Chen and Ms. Ning have graciously agreed to spare you this time because of Mr. Rong Yi's

involvement. If you remain stubborn, I'll inform my men to take action!”

Rong Yi glared at Rong Jilin. “Won't you leave?”

It took a while for the latter to regain his composure, and he finally walked out.

“Wait!” Qiao Zhan called out.

After Rong Jilin froze in his steps, Qian Zhan approached him and delivered a resounding slap across his face.

The impact was so powerful that the corner of Rong Jilin's lips split, drawing blood.

“Don't you dare lay a hand on the Nan family in Flower City. If you do, you'll meet a gruesome end! Consider

yourself fortunate this time because of your brother, but there won't be a next time!” Qian Zhan warned with a

stern voice.

Rong Jilin scowled and glared at Qiao Zhan. Nevertheless, he dared not say anything and merely stalked away.

Rong Yi seemed guilty. “I apologize on behalf of my brother.”

Nan Chen gave a dismissive wave. “It's fine.”

It was then Ning Ran realized that Nan Chen was more polite to Rong Yi now, and she knew he was doing this for

her.

If it weren't for my connection with the Rong family, Nan Chen would have made Rong Jilin pay for his actions. This

was the perfect opportunity to bring down the Rong family. Nan Chen could have had the police arrest Rong Jilin,

using him as leverage in negotiations. The Rong family would have been at a significant disadvantage. However,

Nan Chen chose not to do that because of me.

Ning Ran signed inwardly.

I haven't even reunited with my family yet, and I'm already causing trouble for Nan Chen. In the future, when

Nanshi Corporation confronts Prosperity Holdings, he won't be able to go all out if he has to consider my feelings. It

would be dangerous for someone as influential as him. Nan Chen won't be able to give his all and may end up

sparing his enemies, but they won't show the same kindness. In a competition between major conglomerates, once

they start losing ground, can lead to a devastating collapse with unimaginable consequences. While Rong Xing was

previously forced to retreat from Flower City by the Nan family, this time, can Nan Chen and the Nan family

withstand the joint attack from Rong Xing and Prosperity Holdings?

As Ning Ran was in a daze, Nan Chen thought she was scared stiff.

He approached her and reached out to hold her hand.

Ning Ran was taken aback by his actions, as she had never seen him behave like this in public before.

Ning Ran's hand was indeed cool as she was preoccupied with her thoughts.

Slowly, the commotion outside died down, and it was clear that the people outside had left.

Rong Yi thanked Nan Chen once again for sparing Rong Jilin's life.

Following that, Ning Ran told Nan Chen to leave with Qiao Zhan first as she wanted to talk to Rong Yi in private.

Nan Chen nodded quickly and gestured for Qiao Zhan to leave.

When he saw this, Qiao Zhan felt a little displeased. Why does Ning Ran need to have a private conversation with

Rong Yi? What is she unable to say in front of Sir Chen? It's odd that Sir Chen agreed so readily. Has he overcome

his jealousy?

Rong Yi was equally puzzled. It seemed unusual for Ning Ran to request a private conversation with him while Nan

Chen was present.

However, he was a gentleman and didn't think negatively about her request.

“Ms. Ning, I am deeply grateful for your and Mr. Chen's forgiveness. I sincerely apologize for the incident.”

“Can I call you 'Yi'?” Ning Ran suddenly asked.

“Of course. I'd be honored.”

“Yi, I would advise you to strive to regain your position in Prosperity Holdings' management. If you choose to step

back and allow Rong Jilin to have free reign, he may resort to even more extreme actions. While Nan Chen may be

able to tolerate him a few times, there is a limit to one's patience, and if Nan Chen decides to retaliate, can you

stay out of the situation, Yi?” Ning Ran inquired.

Rong Yi fell into deep thought.

Ning Ran is correct. I am the eldest son of the Rong family. Despite my focus on my music career in recent years, I

have always been involved in major decisions. It is my ability to consider the broader perspective and anticipate

future outcomes that enabled Prosperity Holdings to regain its presence in Flower City. However, I have no desire to

engage in a power struggle within my own family, and I chose not to retaliate when they marginalized me. I made

the decision to step back. I am still part of the Rong family. I cannot simply ignore them when they face defeat at

the hands of Nanshi Corporation, can I?

Rong Yi had always considered Ning Ran to be an intelligent and stunning woman. As a result, he found her

approachable and amiable.

Hearing her words, he realized that Ning Ran stood apart from other women in a unique way.

“Thank you for the reminder. I'll put it into consideration. Thanks, Ms. Ning,” Rong Yi thanked her sincerely.

“Yi, just call me Ning Ran. You don't have to call me 'Ms. Ning'.”

“I don't think that's a good idea,” Rong Yi said hesitantly.

“Calling me by my name is absolutely fine. It's not disrespectful in the slightest. We're friends, after all, so there's no

need to be formal,” Ning Ran said cheerfully.

“Okay, we're friends. I won't be formal,” Rong Yi responded with a warm smile.

His smile gave off an affable vibe.

Suddenly, Ning Ran felt that it would be a nice thing to be able to publicly acknowledge him as her brother.

Alas, she lacked the courage, and there seemed to be no need for her to do so.

“Goodbye, Yi. Take care of yourself. Remember, try to prevent Prosperity Holdings and Nanshi Corporation from

engaging in a full-blown battle. Nan Chen is a formidable opponent, and even with the support of Sunshine

Corporation, it will be challenging to defeat him completely,” Ning Ran cautioned.

Rong Yi nodded. “I know.”

Ning Ran gazed at him one last time before waving at him.

That was when Rong Yi discovered something he couldn't fathom in Ning Ran's eyes.

Meanwhile, Qiao Zhan was brooding outside. “Sir Chen, what are Ms. Ning and Rong Yi talking about? They are

taking a long time.”

Nan Chen glanced at him but said nothing.

“Rong Yi might be nice, but he's our enemy. Ms. Ning—”

“Shut up,” Nan Chen interjected coldly.

At that, Qiao Zhan fell silent. Sir Chen is acting weird today. He is suddenly more lenient toward Madam.

Right then, Ning Ran stepped out and approached Nan Chen, giving him a smile.

There was an underlying meaning in her smile. She was thanking him for allowing her to talk to Rong Yi in private,

but she didn't say anything to Rong Yi.

Her smile was able to portray such a complicated message as they knew each other well.

Nan Chen reached out to hold her hand before leading her to the car.
