Chapter 480


    The first thing Ouyang Qing did when she arrived at the Orchid Club was smashed Ouyang Duo’s wine


    ss on the floor.


    Her actions shocked both Ouyang Duo and Feng Jialing as she rarely threw tantrums like this.


    What happened to her? Why is she so mad?


    “What are you doing, Qing? This isn’t like you!” Ouyang Duo shouted at her.


    “Ugh, I’m so pissed! She’s just a small-time actress! How dare she humiliate me like this?” Ouyang


    Qing was fuming.


    “What happened? Did Ding Mi bully you again? What did she do this time?” Feng Jialing asked.


    “She got her kids to confess to me on behalf of Nan Xing! She knows I like Nan Chen, so she did that


    to embarrass me!” Ouyang Qing said angrily.


    Ouyang Duo and Feng Jialing exchanged nces, confused by how bizarre her exnation sounded.


    How could the kids confess to her on behalf of Nan Xing? That just sounds absurd!


    They didn’t dare ask her anything further as she was in a bad mood, but it was clear that she had been


    bullied.


    “I thought you were having dinner with Nan Chen? Why was she there too?”


    “How on earth would I know? Dad, you have to do something about Ding Mi! Make her leave Nan Chen


    for good! I don’t wanna see her ever again!” Ouyang Qing pleaded.


    Ouyang Duo felt helpless in that situation too. “Isn’t that what you’ve been doing the whole time? Why


    haven’t you seeded? How could my daughter let a small-time actress bully her for so long? Are you


    seriously asking me to personally deal with a nobody?”


    “It’s all because of Ouyang Qi! Not only does he not help me, but he also even took her side and gave


    her plenty of support! This is ridiculous!”


    Ouyang Qing got even angrier at the mention of Ouyang Qi.


    He’s my brother, and yet he’s helping that woman instead!


    “Didn’t I tell him to help you out? What did he do this time?”


    “Help me out? All he did was help them bully me! I couldn’t even find him, so I don’t know where he


    was the whole time!”


    Ouyang Duo motioned for his daughter to calm down. “What do you n on doing now? We live in a


    lawful society, so it’d be too risky to have someone kill her off. Remember, she has blessed the Nan


    family with two kids! If we kill her, they’de after us for sure! We must be cautious with what we do!”


    He was still somewhat afraid after his previous encounter with Nan Chen.


    “So what, do I just sit by and let her bully me? She’s rising to fame now that her show is trending, and


    it’ll be even more difficult to take her out once she bes a huge star! Also, I’ve received word that


    they’ll start shooting her new movie soon. Nan Chen is definitely trying to make her a superstar!”


    Ouyang Qing grew increasingly agitated as she spoke.


    “Weren’t you involved in the investment of the new film? Why is she still being given the lead role?”


    Ouyang Duo asked.


    “I tried to frame her for leaking the script, but her kids saw through my ns. While I may be an


    investor, Nan Chen is the lead investor. On top of that, she’s the contracted artiste of Star


    Entertainment, so it’s only natural that he’d give her the lead role.”


    “How do you n to stop her from starring in this film?” Feng Jialing interrupted.


    “I don’t care! She mustn’t be allowed to star in the film! I want her to leave even if she makes it into the


    production team!” Ouyang Qing’s tone was filled with hatred.


    Meanwhile, Ning Ran and the others had returned to their vi in Red Maple City after a sumptuous


    meal.


    Erbao was in a great mood and hummed a tune as she went upstairs.

    She loved how fun it was to steal the spotlight and anger Ouyang Qing, especially since it was helpful


    to her mother.


    After bathing the kids, Ning Ran cleaned herself up and went to the study room.


    To her surprise, Nan Chen wasn’t in there.


    She went over to the window and saw him swimming in the pool.


    Whoa... He’s swimming at night during early winter?


    Ning Ran was in a great mood too after getting back at Ouyang Qing.


    She used to think Ouyang Qing was polite and generous but realized how pretentious the other woman


    was after getting to know her.


    Although Ouyang Qing had cleared her name regarding the leaked script, Ning Ran knew she was


    definitely trying to frame her for it.


    That was especially the case due to Ouyang Qing’s increasingly obvious efforts at winning Nan Chen


    over.


    Ning Ran grabbed a bottle of wine from the rack and went downstairs with two sses in hand.


    A sudden st of cold wind hit her as soon as she stepped outside, and she buttoned up her shirt


    cor in response.


    What is she up to now? Does she n on having a drink to celebrate her victory tonight? Nan Chen


    wondered as he saw her approaching with a bottle of wine.


    “Hey, stop swimming! You’ll catch a cold!” Ning Ran called out to him.


    Nan Chen swam towards her and stood up in the shallow end of the pool, revealing his muscr upper


    body. “What do you want?”


    “What do you think? I came here to tell you to stop swimming! It’s cold out here!”


    “What’s the wine bottle for, then?” Nan Chen asked.


    “You love swimming after drinking, don’t you? I thought I’d have a drink with you.” Ning Ran said with a


    chuckle.


    Nan Chen could tell why she was in such a good mood. This woman sure is a cunning one! She


    must’ve nned all that with the kids!


    “Aren’t you the one who said I shouldn’t swim after drinking? Are you trying to murder your husband


    here?”


    Ning Ran froze. Wait... Murder my husband? Who’s my husband?


    “How are you my husband, Sir Chen?” Ning Ranughed.


    Nan Chen’s expression grew cold. “Are you implying that you have another man as your husband?”


    It took Ning Ran a moment to recollect herself.


    “Look, I just thought I’d have a drink with you because I’m in a good mood, okay? You could’ve just


    said no if you didn’t want to. That insult was unnecessary! I’m leaving!”


    Ning Ran turned around and began walking up the stairs as her mood was ruined.


    “Hold it right there.” Nan Chen said as he got out from the pool and began walking towards her.


    “What, are you gonna take me by force now?”


    “I might not be interested even if you wanted me to. Now, wipe me dry.” Nan Chen handed her a towel.


    Ning Ran waved the wine bottle and ss at him and motioned for him to do it himself.


    “Put those down and wipe me dry. I’ll tell you a secret if you do.” Nan Chen said.


    “A secret?” Ning Ran let her curiosity get the better of her.


    “Yes, a secret.” Nan Chen nodded.


    Ning Ran put the bottle and ss down on the table next to them upon hearing that. She then took the


    towel over and began wiping him dry as requested.
