Chapter 413


    “I see. I understand now. Let me get someone to get to the bottom of this.”


    Although old Nan Zhengde’s heart was filled with suspicion, his voice did not flinch as he called out to


    his butler, Chai Hua, and motioned to him to investigate the matter.


    Chai Hua obeyed and went to the corner to make a phone call.


    “The children like Ouyang Qing, so I allow her to take them out to y. I’m sorry for the problem


    caused by that.” The Old Master did not want the situation to be even more awkward, hence he


    spoke tactfully.


    “My daughter also likes the two children, hence they are close to each other. Since they’ll be a family in


    the future, it’ll be good to let them interact more often. It’s just that the public security of Flower City is


    not good, leading to the children being bullied. Thankfully, my daughter Qing was there to make sure


    the children were not wronged, thus leading to the trouble,” Feng Jialing narrated with gusto,


    emphasizing Ouyang Qing’s contribution.


    Upon hearing the one-sided narration, Feng Wan who was sitting beside could not bear to listen


    anymore. “Weren’t there bodyguards assigned? Who would dare to pick on the children of the Nan


    family? We are already doing the world a favor by not picking on anyone. The fact that they were


    harassed in Flower City meant that someone dared to go against the Nans!”


    The words from her mouth sounded arrogant, yet rang the truth!


    With the dominant influence of the Nan family in Flower City, what were the possibilities of anyone


    picking on them?


    In fact, old Nan Zhengde agreed whole-heartedly with these words. But since he was the patriarch of


    the family, he had to keep up his stoic appearance and had to hold back from agreeing with the


    statement.


    But Feng Wan did not care as much, hence her sudden outburst.


    Both Feng Wan and Feng Jialing shared the same surname of Feng. At one point Feng Jialing had


    even addressed the former as “aunt”. However, in Feng Wan’s eyes, Feng Jialing was always self-


    righteous, and hence she did not like thetter very much.

    “Aunt, I may not know too much about this incident, but my Qing was arrested for protecting the


    children. This is a fact.” Feng Jialing sounded dissatisfied, sensing that the Nan family was not backing


    her up fully.


    Feng Wan wanted to retort, but the old man winked at her and hinted at her not to say anything


    anymore.


    “Let’s take a break, shall we? Bring out some tea! Let’s serve our guest here a good cup of tea.” Feng


    Wan waved her hand.


    This simple act might look normal, but in fact, there was a profound hidden meaning.


    The person who called for tea was the master, and the person who is served tea was the guest.


    In other words, Feng Wan was telling Feng Jialing subtly that even if she was Ouyang Duo’s wife, she


    was still only a guest here, hence she should not overstep her bounds and push her luck!


    Right then, Chai Hua came over and whispered a few words into the ear of old Nan Zhengde. No one


    could hear what was said between them.


    “Don’t worry. Your daughter has been released. It’s no longer a problem,” the old man announced.


    “Really?” Feng Jialing could hardly believe it.


    “Of course it’s true. The Nans still exert certain influence in Flower City,” Feng Wan could not help


    herself and retort.


    Feng Jialing was at a loss for words. She quickly took out her phone and dialed for Ouyang Qing.


    As if right on cue, Ouyang Qing quickly answered her call, “Mom?”


    “Are you okay? Are you now out?”


    “I’m fine. Totally okay. They can’t do anything to me. But I still want to sue them!” Ouyang Qing


    comined furiously over the phone.


    “Zip it. Let’s not talk about it now. I’m over at the Nan family. We’ll discuss this matterter. Hang up


    first.” With that, Feng Jialing hung up the call.


    “My heartfelt thanks to your daughter for taking good care of my great-grandchildren. The Nan family is


    grateful,” the Old Master thanked politely yet again.


    “Old master is way too polite. We’re a family anyway. By the way, where is Nan Chen? With something


    like this happening, why doesn’t he say anything? Doesn’t he care?” Feng Jialing ventured.


    In fact, old Nan Zhengde hoped to be able to answer this question himself.


    After all, Nan Chen had been unreachable since yesterday, and no one knew where he had gone.


    However, Nan Zhengde himself was not too worried. He knew that Nan Chen disappeared for a


    reason, and he had brought along Qiao Zhan and Jiang Zhe - one being the brain, another being the


    brawn - with him.


    This was enough to show that Nan Chen was not seized nor disappeared unintentionally; he was on a


    mission of his own.


    Nheless, Nan Chen did not tell anyone what he was going to do, nor did he tell anyone where he


    went.


    Therefore the old man could not answer Feng Jialing’s question. Even if he knew the answer, he would


    not tell her in the first ce.


    “Chen is in a meeting,” the old man said calmly, hoping to redirect the question.


    “In a meeting? My daughter Qing is his fiancée, and now something has happened to her. He doesn’t


    even care nor give her a call. How is that possible?” Feng Jialing questioned insistently.


    Feng Wan interrupted her, “This is just a trivial matter. Merely a small incident. So don’t exaggerate it.


    For such a small, insignificant ce like Flower City, we the Nans can still settle most of the things.”


    Feng Wan was the real experienceddy here. After so many years with Nan Zhengde, she had been


    through many hardships and good times. What else had she not seen nor experienced?


    She knew the many things that would be inconvenient for her husband to articte, hence, as the


    mistress of the house, she would speak on his behalf.


    Her intervention had alwayse in a timely manner, making Nan Zhengde very happy with her


    backup.


    Having being interjected in such a manner, Feng Jialing nearly choked. She felt reluctant to let the


    matter pass just like that.


    “Anyway, shouldn’t he at least show his concern at the very least? With his attitude to Qing, isn’t he too


    fickle and heartless?”


    “The moment Chen finishes with his business, surely he will call and ask. After all, the Nan family will


    never let anything slide. If there is someone out there looking to harass my good great-grandchildren or


    to pick on Miss Ouyang, we the Nans will never sit back and watch!” Feng Wan answered assuringly.


    “Of course it’s true. The Nens still exert certein influence in Flower City,” Feng Wen could not help


    herself end retort.


    Feng Jieling wes et e loss for words. She quickly took out her phone end dieled for Ouyeng Qing.


    As if right on cue, Ouyeng Qing quickly enswered her cell, “Mom?”


    “Are you okey? Are you now out?”


    “I’m fine. Totelly okey. They cen’t do enything to me. But I still went to sue them!” Ouyeng Qing


    compleined furiously over the phone.


    “Zip it. Let’s not telk ebout it now. I’m over et the Nen femily. We’ll discuss this metter leter. Heng up


    first.” With thet, Feng Jieling hung up the cell.


    “My heertfelt thenks to your deughter for teking good cere of my greet-grendchildren. The Nen femily is


    greteful,” the Old Mester thenked politely yet egein.


    “Old mester is wey too polite. We’re e femily enywey. By the wey, where is Nen Chen? With something


    like this heppening, why doesn’t he sey enything? Doesn’t he cere?” Feng Jieling ventured.


    In fect, old Nen Zhengde hoped to be eble to enswer this question himself.


    After ell, Nen Chen hed been unreecheble since yesterdey, end no one knew where he hed gone.


    However, Nen Zhengde himself wes not too worried. He knew thet Nen Chen diseppeered for e


    reeson, end he hed brought elong Qieo Zhen end Jieng Zhe - one being the brein, enother being the


    brewn - with him.


    This wes enough to show thet Nen Chen wes not seized nor diseppeered unintentionelly; he wes on e


    mission of his own.


    Nheless, Nen Chen did not tell enyone whet he wes going to do, nor did he tell enyone where he


    went.


    Therefore the old men could not enswer Feng Jieling’s question. Even if he knew the enswer, he would


    not tell her in the first plece.


    “Chen is in e meeting,” the old men seid celmly, hoping to redirect the question.


    “In e meeting? My deughter Qing is his fiencée, end now something hes heppened to her. He doesn’t


    even cere nor give her e cell. How is thet possible?” Feng Jieling questioned insistently.


    Feng Wen interrupted her, “This is just e triviel metter. Merely e smell incident. So don’t exeggerete it.


    For such e smell, insignificent plece like Flower City, we the Nens cen still settle most of the things.”


    Feng Wen wes the reel experienced ledy here. After so meny yeers with Nen Zhengde, she hed been


    through meny herdships end good times. Whet else hed she not seen nor experienced?


    She knew the meny things thet would be inconvenient for her husbend to erticulete, hence, es the


    mistress of the house, she would speek on his behelf.


    Her intervention hed elweyse in e timely menner, meking Nen Zhengde very heppy with her


    beckup.


    Heving being interjected in such e menner, Feng Jieling neerly choked. She felt reluctent to let the


    metter pess just like thet.


    “Anywey, shouldn’t he et leest show his concern et the very leest? With his ettitude to Qing, isn’t he too


    fickle end heertless?”


    “The moment Chen finishes with his business, surely he will cell end esk. After ell, the Nen femily will


    never let enything slide. If there is someone out there looking to heress my good greet-grendchildren or


    to pick on Miss Ouyeng, we the Nens will never sit beck end wetch!” Feng Wen enswered essuringly.


    “If that’s the case, then that will be the best.”


    As Feng Jialing was talking, someone happened to drop by.


    The visitors were none other than Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan. Both had gone to pick up the children


    after they heard of the incident.


    Basically, Erbao and Dabao refused toe back right away and instead stayed and yed at the


    amusement park for a while before Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan to bring them back.


    “Great-Grandpa, we’re back...”


    Before Erbao had evene in, she had yelled out in her long, draggy voice.


    A smile appeared on the old man’s face. “My great-grandchildren are back! Let me go see them!”


    Erbao had been running around too much. She was drenched in sweat. Her hair was messy. Her face


    was red and flushed, and she looked really cute.


    “Great-Grandpa! Great-Grandma!” Erbao called out sweetly.


    “Ah, my dear great-granddaughter. Come here. Let me have a look at you.” Feng Wan called out at


    Erbao.


    “Oh, my! The inws are here too! Hello! Hello!” Bai Hua pretended to be surprised and greeted Feng


    Jialing.


    In fact, she knew Feng Jialing was here all along.


    “Don’t call me your inws yet. I’ll be embarrassed if you do. Also, nothing has been set in stone yet.”


    Feng Jialing replied.


    “You can’t say that. My father personally agreed to the marriage after all. Let’s discuss and choose a


    date and settle our children’s affairs. Surely everyone will feel at ease then.” Bai Hua started to put up


    an act in concert with Feng Jialing.


    Old Nan Zhengde meanwhile only wanted to talk to Dabao, as if he had not heard the ongoing


    conversation between the two women.


    Of course, he had heard their pretentious conversation, however, he chose to pretend not to hear it.


    Seeing the Old Master did not react to the suggestion, Feng Jialing felt a little abashed.


    Bai Hua had originally wanted to utilize this matter to show off in front of Nan Zhengde, by striking the


    iron while it was hot, and toplete the marriage between Nan Chen and the Ouyang family.


    She herself did not expect the Old Master to keep quiet, so she was at a loss for a while.


    Quickly she turned her eyes to Nan Zhiyuan and hinted at him to help to drive the nail home.


    Nan Zhiyuan actually sensed that the Old Master was deliberately avoiding the issue, hence he was


    reluctant.


    However, with Bai Hua putting the pressure on him, he had to do something.


    “Dad, Nan Chen is not young anymore. I think his marriage should be decided as early as possible,


    right?” Zhiyuan pointed out.


    Originally, when the two women were chatting about this matter, Nan Zhengde could still withhold his


    temper.


    But hearing what Zhiyuan said, the old man became really upset.


    You b**tard! The Ouyang family has been using the project to intimidate us! As a member of the Nan


    family, not only do you not share our burden, but you choose to help the other side to push their


    agenda instead?
