Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 327

Meanwhile, in a certain neighborhood of Red Maple City.

Bai Hua had just woke up from sleep. After she carried out her morning routine, Ouyang Qing showed up with a set of breakfast.

“Good morning, Aunt.”

“Good morning, Qing. Thank you so much for staying by my side and taking care of me,” Bai Hua expressed her gratitude.

“You’re welcome, Aunt. It’s part of my duty.”

“How did everything go last night?” Bai Hua asked concernedly.

The upset Ouyang Qing shared the news with Bai Hua, “Everything went according to the plan we had devised, and we had the footage of the entire incident. Although we have everything we need, no one is willing to report the news. Perhaps Chen had gotten in touch with them beforehand and stopped them from reporting the news.”

Bai Hua was frustrated and probed further, “What should we do? Does that mean our effort is futile since we can’t publish the footage?”

“Initially, I thought Chen would be upset when he figured out her identity as a homewrecker, but he took her side and protected her instead of teaching her a lesson. Chen has changed; he’s no longer the same!” Ouyang Qing was equally frustrated.

“What? Chen took her side?” Bai Hua refused to believe the things Ouyang Qing told her.

“Yes! Chen got in front of her. Consequently, he got himself drenched in the bottle of rotten egg. If Chen figures out I’m the one behind the entire incident, he’s definitely going to hold a grudge against me.”

“Has Nan Chen lost his mind? How could he ignore the fact she’s a homewrecker? What does she have hidden up her sleeves? How did she charm and seduce my son to this extent?” Bai Hua yelled to vent her frustration.

“I’m confused as well, Aunt. Do you think Chen may have been drugged by her? I have heard rumors of a certain drug that’s capable of driving someone out of their mind.”

“I don’t think that’s possible because those are merely baseless rumors. Perhaps Chen managed to see right through the plan. I think he had figured out someone was behind the entire incident by now.”

After all, Bai Hua was an experienced woman. She easily ruled out the possibilities based on the available evidence.

“Huh? Does that mean Chen has started suspecting me?” Ouyang Qing got anxious all of a sudden.

“Chen may be smart, but he definitely won’t suspect you’re the one behind this since you weren’t there when the incident occurred. Even if they managed to figure out the leads that would link to you, you just have to deny it. There’s nothing he can do about it.”

Although Bai Hua sounded calm, she was anxious about what Ouyang Qing had brought up.

Initially, she wanted to comfort the young woman in front of her, yet she felt equally unease.

“Chen is not going to get to the bottom of the incident and come after me, right? What should I do if he figures out I’m the one behind the incident? Oh, God! He’s going to hate me!”

“Don’t worry, Qing! If Chen is going to pick on you because of the incident, I’ll take the blame and tell him I’m the one who has instructed you to do it.” Bai Hua assured Ouyang Qing everything would be fine.

“Chen will never believe me! I hope he doesn’t get to the bottom of the incident! Otherwise, I’m going to be doomed!”

“Don’t worry, okay? Haven’t you already sent the entire family abroad? How is Chen going to get his hands on them? It’s going to be fine! You just have to keep everything to yourself and keep Chen in the dark!”

After Bai Hua finished her breakfast, she took a peek at the clock and queried, “We’re two hours away from the designated time. Do we drop by the airport now?”

“I think it’s about time for us to depart. We shouldn’t keep Uncle waiting for us.”

“Do you think those from the Nan family would send someone to pick him up? What about Chen?” Bai Hua asked Ouyang Qing.

Ouyang Qing had no idea since she wasn’t one of the Nan family.

“Why don’t you ask Chen instead? It’d be great if he’s willing to drop by! I’m sure Uncle will be delighted by his presence!” Ouyang Qing suggested in return.

“If that’s the case, I should get in touch with Chen, right?”

“Yes!” Ouyang Qing beamed her reply as she had been waiting for this all along.

Finally, Bai Hua reached for her phone and called Nan Chen, but no one picked up the call.

After she hung up the call, she attempted once more after another few minutes. The call was picked up, but it was picked up by Nan Chen’s assistant. He told them Nan Chen was in the middle of a meeting and would get him to revert back to them as soon as possible.

“Is he going to forsake his father? I can’t believe he’s still in the middle of a meeting! I’m pretty sure he won’t drop by the airport to pick Zhiyuan up!” Bai Hua bellowed to vent her frustration.

Little did Bai Hua know Ouyang Qing was even more upset because it seemed as though her effort was to no avail.

All this while, she had been trying her best to pull strings on behalf of Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan to win Nan Chen over.

Previously, her plan worked out just fine; she managed to meet up with Nan Chen a few times.

Eventually, Bai Hua had returned due to her continuous effort. Soon, Nan Zhiyuan would join them as well.

In short, the most important figures of the Nan family would return soon. They would be her strongest aides, capable of assisting her to achieve her goal of getting married to Nan Chen.

Although it sounded like a great plan, the strongest aides were in a tough position because they were merely biologically related to Nan Chen; they weren’t close at all.

If things remained as they had always been, the strongest aides she had would be as good as none. Ultimately, Ouyang Qing would never achieve her goal.

Thus, she was determined to turn the table around. Otherwise, Nan Chen would soon get into a relationship with another woman.

In the meantime, Ning Ran finally finished the brunch that had been served. The delighted woman walked out of the hotel and hailed a cab to Nanshi Corporation.

She had no idea the reason Nan Chen had summoned her, but she decided to drop by since she didn’t have anything else on her schedule.

Ning Ran didn’t have the opportunity to get changed. She was in the similar dress she had put on for the ball last night. Although it seemed ostentatious, it looked great on her.

The moment she stepped into the company, everyone had their eyes glued to her.

Jiang Zhe showed Ning Ran the way to Nan Chen’s office and told her to take a seat as he was at a meeting.

Usually, Nan Chen would spend most of his time attending different kinds of meetings and conferences held.

As time flew by, Ning Ran got bored with sitting around idly. She started playing mini-golf in Nan Chen’s office; yet, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get the golf ball into the hole.

Nevertheless, she refused to give up. She tried over and over again.

Actually, she had never once played golf before. She had merely caught a match or two on the television. To begin with, her posture was wrong. That was the reason she couldn’t get the golf ball into the hole.

As soon as Nan Chen, who had just returned from the conference, made his way into his office, he spotted Ning Ran’s presence and figured out she was in the middle of a mini-golf session.

Ning Ran caught a glimpse of Nan Chen as he stood by the side, staring at her in an odd manner. Immediately, she asked, “What are you trying to do? Are you waiting for me to embarrass myself in front of you? I have never played golf before, okay?”

“Okay,” Nan Chen replied nonchalantly.

“Hmph!” Ning Ran scoffed in return.

“Go on! Why don’t you keep trying until you get the golf ball into the hole? I’m sure you’re going to get the gist of it if you keep trying.”

“Nope! Why would I want to learn the proper way to play golf? Golf has always been the favorite pastime of the wealthy ones. I’m not from a wealthy background. Therefore, I don’t need to learn how to play golf,” Ning Ran rebuked in a righteous manner. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“You’ll soon turn into a wealthy one,” Nan Chen asserted.

He reached for a golf club and showed her the right way to do it. “This is the proper way to do it. Watch and learn.”

“What do you mean? How am I going to be wealthy over the night? I’m still heavily indebted, no thanks to you. I guess I’m stuck with you for the rest of my life.”

“I almost forgot about that.” Nan Chen played along with Ning Ran.

“You’re such a damned capitalist!” Ning Ran snorted.

“I guess you’re right.” Nan Chen had no intention to rebuke Ning Ran’s statement at all.

He paused for a few seconds before adding, “Pure monopoly doesn’t exist because the working principle of the society is interdependence. The world is a better place due to the exchange of resources that occurs globally.”

“If I didn’t take advantage of your skills, you wouldn’t have become a celebrity. Similarly, the company would stand nothing to gain. In other words, we managed to achieve a win-win situation due to interdependence. At the end of the day, it seems like we can’t get rid of one another, huh?”

“I’m confused by all the theories you’re presenting. Let’s forget about it. Why have you summoned me here today? Is there anything you want to discuss with me?”

“Not really.”

“Huh? If that’s the case, why have you summoned me here?”

“You have anything else on your schedule, don’t you?” Nan Chen replied with another question.

“Since we have just wrapped up the production, there isn’t any fixed agenda for the moment, so I don’t have anything on my schedule.”

“Why couldn’t you drop by my office and spend some time with me when you have nothing to do?”

Ning Ran found his seemingly logical theory absurd.
