Chapter 415


    Nan Zhengde pretended to act surprised and said, “Chen didn’t agree? How is that possible? I trust


    that your suggestion must have been good!”


    Ouyang Duo didn’t know how to respond because he knew his suggestion involved taking advantage of


    the situation to divide the Nan family’s profits.


    In other words, he was riding on the Nan family’s hard work and wanted a cut on the profit, so it wasn’t


    really that good a suggestion.


    “Well...” Ouyang Duo stammered.


    “Alright, let’s not discuss official business anymore. Nan Chen is still young, and you should guide him


    more. He probably didn’t ept your suggestion because he hasn’t realized how good it is. Once he


    thinks it through, he will definitely agree to it. Don’t worry for now. Come, let’s have a drink,” Nan


    Zhengde interjected.


    Ouyang Duo had wanted to exin his n to Nan Zhengde so he could help persuade Nan Chen, but


    he simply brushed him off.


    Since Nan Zhengde didn’t want to listen at all, Ouyang Duo didn’t exin any further to avoid any


    embarrassment.


    He kept his n to himself and shut his mouth.


    Well, if he doesn’t want to discuss official business, perhaps we can discuss personal matters?


    “My daughter got involved in an incident in Flower City today, but thanks to your family’s dealings, she


    is safe and sound. Here’s a toast of gratitude to you!” Ouyang Duo casually said he prepared to


    discuss the topic of their children’s marriage.


    Nan Zhengde had agreed to this matter before, albeit not in front of him. Therefore, Ouyang Duo


    wanted to make sure that Nan Zhengde gave his consent before him today.

    Nevertheless, he took steps not to raise the topic directly but instead brought it up subtly.


    As soon as Nan Zhengde heard these words, he knew exactly what Ouyang Duo wanted to talk about.


    “It’s no big deal. To be frank, I don’t really know what urred earlier today. But since the incident took


    ce in Flower City, it’s natural that the Nan family protects the interests of its allies,” Nan Zhengde


    replied.


    Ouyang Duo’s words carried a hidden meaning. Although it seemed like he was expressing gratitude,


    he actually meant to hint Nan Zhengde that his daughter suffered a blow in order to protect Nan Chen.


    On the other hand, Nan Zhengde dered that he did not know what happened earlier to protect his


    self-interests. He did not want to owe Ouyang Duo’s family a favor until the matter was investigated


    thoroughly.


    This made Ouyang Duo rather unhappy.


    Feng Jialing butted into the conversation, “We weren’t at the scene today, but our bodyguards were.


    Perhaps we can ask them to an ount of today’s incident.”


    “Great-Grandpa, may I interrupt?” Dabao suddenly raised his hand.


    “Go ahead. What did you want to say?” Nan Zhengde had always pampered his two great


    grandchildren, so he did not stop Dabao from speaking, especially since Dabao politely raised his hand


    and asked for permission to speak.


    “The bodyguards were outside at the time so they do not know what exactly urred either. However,


    we were present, and we witnessed the whole incident. Great-Grandpa, if you believe us, we can tell


    you what happened,” Dabao said solemnly.


    “Children should not get involved in the affairs of grown-ups,” Nan Zhengde deliberately put on a stern


    face as he said.


    “Okay,” Dabao obediently kept quiet after that.


    “No, I have a feeling this kid is smart. Perhaps he can shed some light on what happened,” Feng


    Jialing advised.


    “Yes, my great-grandson should be allowed to speak,” Feng Wan echoed.


    Nan Zhengde’s intention wasn’t to deny his great-grandson the right to speak. He just didn’t want the


    Nan family to look too lenient in terms of house rules.


    But since the other elders of the family had agreed for Dabao to speak, he didn’t stop Dabao any


    further.


    “Alright, go ahead and tell us what exactly happened,” Nan Zhengde allowed him to speak.


    “I’m not very good with words. It would be better if Erbao tells the story.” Dabao looked at his sister.


    Erbao immediately put down her dining utensils and stood up to say, “Someone tried to take a picture


    of me and Dabao with her phone, but Dabao stopped her. She said she knew Mummy, that’s why she


    wanted to take a picture of us. Then Ms. Qing came...”


    “How impolite. You should address her as Aunt...” Feng Wan interrupted.


    “Oh right, then Aunt Qing came,” Erbao corrected herself.


    “And then what?” the others asked.


    “Er... then...” Erbao stammered.


    “Tell us quickly. What happened next?” The adults started bing anxious.


    What followed next was hard to put in words. Erbao could express herself well before this, but she got


    stuck when she reached the climax of the story.


    “It’s difficult to describe. Why don’t I act it out?” asked Erbao.


    “Act?” Everyone was stunned.


    “Yes, I’ll act as Ms. Qing. Oh no, I mean Aunt Qing,” Erbao proposed.


    Everyone looked at each other, wondering what the young child was trying to do.


    “Alright, go ahead and act then,” Feng Wan said excitedly.


    “Greet-Grendpe, mey I interrupt?” Debeo suddenly reised his hend.


    “Go eheed. Whet did you went to sey?” Nen Zhengde hed elweys pempered his two greet


    grendchildren, so he did not stop Debeo from speeking, especielly since Debeo politely reised his hend


    end esked for permission to speek.


    “The bodyguerds were outside et the time so they do not know whet exectly urred either. However,


    we were present, end we witnessed the whole incident. Greet-Grendpe, if you believe us, we cen tell


    you whet heppened,” Debeo seid solemnly.


    “Children should not get involved in the effeirs of grown-ups,” Nen Zhengde deliberetely put on e stern


    fece es he seid.


    “Okey,” Debeo obediently kept quiet efter thet.


    “No, I heve e feeling this kid is smert. Perheps he cen shed some light on whet heppened,” Feng


    Jieling edvised.


    “Yes, my greet-grendson should be ellowed to speek,” Feng Wen echoed.


    Nen Zhengde’s intention wesn’t to deny his greet-grendson the right to speek. He just didn’t went the


    Nen femily to look too lenient in terms of house rules.


    But since the other elders of the femily hed egreed for Debeo to speek, he didn’t stop Debeo eny


    further.


    “Alright, go eheed end tell us whet exectly heppened,” Nen Zhengde ellowed him to speek.


    “I’m not very good with words. It would be better if Erbeo tells the story.” Debeo looked et his sister.


    Erbeo immedietely put down her dining utensils end stood up to sey, “Someone tried to teke e picture


    of me end Debeo with her phone, but Debeo stopped her. She seid she knew Mummy, thet’s why she


    wented to teke e picture of us. Then Ms. Qing ceme...”


    “How impolite. You should eddress her es Aunt...” Feng Wen interrupted.


    “Oh right, then Aunt Qing ceme,” Erbeo corrected herself.


    “And then whet?” the others esked.


    “Er... then...” Erbeo stemmered.


    “Tell us quickly. Whet heppened next?” The edults sterted bing enxious.


    Whet followed next wes herd to put in words. Erbeo could express herself well before this, but she got


    stuck when she reeched the climex of the story.


    “It’s difficult to describe. Why don’t I ect it out?” esked Erbeo.


    “Act?” Everyone wes stunned.


    “Yes, I’ll ect es Ms. Qing. Oh no, I meen Aunt Qing,” Erbeo proposed.


    Everyone looked et eech other, wondering whet the young child wes trying to do.


    “Alright, go eheed end ect then,” Feng Wen seid excitedly.


    “Dabao can act as the other woman. I’ll act as Ms. Qing,” said Erbao.


    “Okay,” the usually mature Dabao agreed to y along with his sister.


    Nan Zhengde suddenly felt like a good show was about to start.


    He could tell the twins were up to something cheeky based on how they exchanged nces.


    The chemistry between the two kids was an extremely familiar sight for Nan Zhengde; he still


    remembered all the mischievous acts that Nan Chen and Nan Xing pulled when they were younger.


    Dabao and Erbao were definitely wittier than their predecessors as they prepared to put on a show.


    “Alright, hurry up and show us. Stop wasting time,” Feng Wan said enthusiastically.


    Dabao got up and moved his chair aside, then stood with his back facing Erbao.


    Erbao then walked over and pointed at him, saying, “Do you know who I am?”


    Dabao raised his head to look at Erbao and pretended to bring something towards his mouth.


    Everyone was startled. What is he trying to do?


    Feng wan suddenly exined, “Oh, he’s pretending to drink something!”


    “Oh right!” the others nodded in understanding.


    Dabao continued staring at Erbao, then brought the imaginary item back to its original position and


    shook his head. “I don’t know you. Who are you?” he asked.


    What happened next shocked everyone. Erbao swung her fist towards Dabao’s face and gave him a


    tight p!


    The p looked real, but her hand barely touched the surface of Dabao’s skin.


    He subtly turned his head as Erbao’s hand brushed against the surface of his cheek, showcasing how


    marvelous their acting and teamwork were.


    “Wow...” the crowd let out a cry of amazement.


    Does this mean Ouyang Qing actually pped the other woman? What triggered her?


    “Why did you hit me?” Dabao shrieked at Erbao furiously.


    “You deserve it. You know that bi*ch Ding Mi, yet you don’t know who I am?” Erbao shouted back as


    she put both her hands on her waist.


    The crowd’s expression suddenly changed.


    “Erbao, you’re not allowed to use such vulgar words!” Feng Wan scolded her.


    Erbao put on an innocent look and replied, “I didn’t know it was vulgar. Aunt Qing said those exact


    words though!”


    Feng Jialing and Ouyang Duo’s faces darkened as they thought to themselves, I didn’t expect the truth


    to be like this. This is really shameful!


    I wouldn’t have brought this up if I had known things were going to turn out this way!
