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 wee, Aunt. It’s part of my duty.”
“How did everything gost night?” Bai Hua asked concernedly.
The upset Ouyang Qing shared the news with Bai Hua, “Everything went ording to the n 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 n. 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
avable 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 urred. 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 tofort the young woman in front of her, yet she felt equally unease.
“Chen is not going to get to the bottom of the incident ande 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 me 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 n 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 n, the strongest aides were in a tough position because they were
merely biologically rted 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
rtionship 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 simr dress she had put on for
the ballst night. Although it seemed ostentatious, it looked great on her.
The moment she stepped into thepany, 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 ying 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 yed 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 yed golf before, okay?”
“Okay,” Nan Chen replied nonchntly.
“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 y 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 y golf,” Ning Ran rebuked in a righteous manner.
“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 yed 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 ce due to the exchange of
resources that urs globally.”
“If I didn’t take advantage of your skills, you wouldn’t have be a celebrity. Simrly, thepany
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.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
