Celebrity Girl Is My Wife Chapter 242


    “Of course,” Ning Ziqiang answered. “Oh, then how is she?” Qiao Zhan asked again. “She’s pretty


    good. She’s working as an actress,” Ning Ziqiang said.


    It seemed that they understood her very well, as what he said was right. “Why are you even mentioning


    her? You were nice to her, but how did she treat you?” Luo Yi chipped in abruptly.


    Ning Ziqiang cooperatively sighed. And that was how they worked together to deceive Ning Ran’s


    mother back then. After so many years of acting, their acting skills had been brought to the point of


    perfection. A warrior like Qiao Zhan couldn’t see any ws at all.


    Engaging in conspiracy was not his forte. “What is it?” Qiao Zhan looked at Luo Yi. “Ning is too


    embarrassed to talk. After all, we can’t wash our dirty linen in public,” Luo Yi sighed. “What exactly


    happened?”


    “Actually…” Luo Yi looked hesitant. “Just let it go. She’s just a child, so don’t me her.” Ning Ziqiang


    pretended to stop Luo Yi from talking.


    “It seems that you two are hiding something. If it’s inconvenient for you to say, then forget it.” Qiao


    Zhan tried to step back.


    “It’s actually nothing much, it’s just that my health is not in good shape. I went to the hospital for a


    checkup a while ago, and the result was a little discouraging. Thepany is experiencing a downturn


    these few years and we’re not exactly living afortable life now, so medical visits have be a


    problem. Later, Luo Yi asked me to look for the child to see if she could find a way to help me borrow


    some money and help me get past this hurdle first.”


    Qiao Zhan nodded. “Yeah, you should.”


    “It took me a great deal of effort to find her. I told her about my situation and asked her to help borrow


    one hundred thousand, but… Let’s not go there,” Ning Ziqiang sighed and didn’t talk further.


    Of course, Qiao Zhan wanted him to keep talking. How could he stop right at the key point?


    “Ms. Ning didn’t agree afterwards?”


    Luo Yi continued instead, “How could she agree? She said that Ning Ziqiang’s life and death were none


    of her business, and she wouldn’t give a single cent. It’s fine if she refused to give us the money, but


    she even spread rumors outside saying that we asked for a huge chunk of money and that we


    ckmailed her! Those old friends in the past are now calling us a beast. This girl is too cruel. So she


    doesn’t want to give us money, but how could she nder her father like this? I’m just her stepmother.


    She can say whatever she wants about me, but Ning is her biological father. How disappointing it is for


    her to spread rumors like this!”


    At that, Luo Yi squeezed her eyes, forcing tears out of them.


    Qiao Zhan pondered, This statement is exactly the same as what Feng Minsheng had said. Is Ning


    Ran really a cruel person? She doesn’t seem like one though.


    “Didn’t you twomunicate nicely with her?” Qiao Zhan asked.


    “How are we supposed tomunicate with her? She refused to help us and spread rumors about us.


    We can’t even bring ourselves to meet anyone now, but I don’t me her. She had always


    misunderstood us, thinking that her mother’s death was rted to us. But in all honesty, it’s really not


    our fault.”


    Ning Ziqiang stered on a sad face and wanted to squeeze out a few drops of tears, but failed to do


    so.


    In terms of acting skills, he was a far cry from Luo Yi.


    Qiao Zhan felt speechless. This result surprised him, as it wasn’t the result he wanted.


    After entertaining them with few more words, Qiao Zhan paid the bill and left.


    When he arrived at Nanshi Corporation, Nan Chen was in a meeting again.


    In a year, Nan Chen probably spent more than ny percent of his time in meetings.


    Meetings seemed easy, but they were not.


    Corporate meetings weren’t just a formality. Most of the meetings came with a concrete topic.


    Nan Chen often had to make judgements and conclusion ordingly after a meeting and these


    conclusions determined the future of thepany.


    Especially for important meetings, Nan Chen had to make preparations himself and study the meeting


    materials handed over from the secretarial office. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to understand fully


    when someone spoke during the meeting.


    Therefore, the influential Master Chen had been running at high speed and carrying many weights on


    his shoulders.


    What other people saw was mour, but only a few people knew his burden and pressure.


    Qiao Zhan waited for an hour before Nan Chen finished the meeting.


    Perhaps the meeting didn’t go well, as Nan Chen’splexion didn’t look good.


    This added to the pressure on Qiao Zhan because what he brought wasn’t good news in the first ce


    either.


    Will he be even angrier if I tell him about that?


    Nan Chen habitually removed his outerwear and hung it on the side. He then picked up a ss of


    water and took a sip.


    Thereafter, he walked to the side, picked up a golf club and swung a few strokes to move his muscles.


    The meetingsted for over two hours; it was really back-breaking.


    When the office was renovated, Nan Xing had installed a mini-golf course here. At that time, Nan Chen


    thought it was useless, but now it seemed that it was actually necessary.


    “Sir Chen.” Qiao Zhan stood aside, watching Nan Chen swinging his club.


    “Shoot.”


    “I met Ning Ziqiang.”


    Nan Chen didn’t reply because he thought Qiao Zhan’s words were nonsense.


    The fact that he woulde to the office to see him naturally meant that he met Ning Ziqiang.


    Otherwise, why was he here?


    “He said he’s seriously ill and needed one hundred thousand to pay the hospital first, so he asked Ms.


    Ding…”


    Qiao Zhan told Nan Chen everything he had heard from Ning Ziqiang.


    As expected, Nan Chen’s face grew uglier, and the cold air emitting from his body made Qiao Zhan feel


    a little flustered.


    “Is there a possibility Ning Ziqiang lied to you because he found out about your identity?” Nan Chen


    questioned.


    Qiao Zhan gave it a thought and felt that it was impossible.

    “I don’t know.” He could only answer that.


    Nan Chen was silent again.


    “You can go now,” Nan Chen said brusquely after a long while.


    Qiao Zhan felt relieved because the atmosphere was too tense; it was safer for him to leave early.


    “Then what should I do next?” Qiao Zhan asked gingerly.


    “No hurry for action,” Nan Chen replied.


    “Yes, Sir Chen. I’ll go first then.”


    Qiao Zhan exited the office with a long sigh of relief as he saw Jiang Zhe walking over.


    They were both familiar with each other. One was the person Nan Chen trusted most in business


    matters, and one was the person Nan Chen trusted most in private matters.


    One with the brains and one with the brawn, but they didn’t seem to acknowledge each other.


    Jiang Zhe thought Qiao Zhan was just a warrior who only did menial work instead of aplishing


    anything big. The only muscle he didn’t use was his brain.


    Qiao Zhan, on the other hand, thought Jiang Zhe was like a eunuch who was defenseless and only


    knew how to butter up to Nan Chen to get a promotion.


    They both believed that the role of the other party was very limited and the one who could really get


    things done was themselves.


    “Well, isn’t it Captain Qiao? Isn’t Captain Qiao’s area of activities in the backyard? Why did youe


    to thepany?” Jiang Zhe started.


    Qiao Zhan immediately retaliated, “Oh, it’s Assistant Jiang. I’m not here to see you, Assistant Jiang. I’m


    here to report to Master Chen. I mean, seriously, he’s got you by his side, but he insisted on having me


    over. It seems that you’re not cut out for this task. Oh, forget it. Your task is to copy documents and


    pass messages. I know that. I’m off then, see ya.”
