Chapter 534
As Ouyang Qing had wanted, the scandal between her and Nan Xing spread across the people.
Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
It was because the reporters had “sneakily” taken photos of the two of them having a meal together
and being intimate.
After that, some people said that what had happened earlier was a misunderstanding.
They said that Nan Xing and Ouyang Qing were dating, so there was nothing wrong with them having a
lover''s spat.
Just as Ouyang Qing thought she would be able to settle the matter, another kind ofment
appeared on the inte again.
Aizenmented that Ouyang Qing had gone to Nan Xing in hopes of getting back on good terms
with the man to clear her name.
However, Nan Xing was unwilling to do that. Hence, Ouyang Qing had resorted to threatening Nan
Xing toply with her request. If he did not agree with her, she would sue him for harassment. Not
wanting any trouble, Nan Xing had no choice but to agree to date her.
That was something an ordinary citizen posted on a discreet website, but soon, that post began
trending.
Once again, theizens cursed Ouyang Qing and called her a shameless b*tch.
Essentially, theizens had depleted their dictionary of curse words, and the cursing she received was
much worse than the previous time.
At that, Ouyang Qing could only shed tears in silence. She did not know who was ndering her, for
she never said she was going to sue Nan Xing.
At Orchid Club, Ouyang Duo did not strike her this time. Instead, he stared at her in utter
disappointment.
Ouyang Qing was crying the entire time, but her tears were more or less forced out.
She was not upset; she was furious and reluctant to admit defeat.
Ouyang Qing was only crying to gain her father''s sympathy. It was so that he would let her stay and not
force her to leave.
Before Ouyang Duo could begin berating her, Ouyang Qing exined, “I didn''t leave because Nan
Xing invited me, and when he did, I thought about what you said about marrying into the Nan family,
Dad. That''s why I wanted to use the opportunity to develop my rtionship with Nan Xing to realize
your aim.”
Ouyang Qing knew her father was the kind who paid most attention to the pros and cons of a matter.
As long as she told him the benefits of her action, the chances of her persuading Ouyang Duo would
then greatly increase.
“Nan Xing was the one who invited you out?” Ouyang Duo asked.
“That''s right. Dad, I''ve already packed my things and was about to leave. However, he invited me, and I
wanted to find out what he was going to tell me.”
“What did he say, then?” Ouyang Duo questioned.
“He told me about his interest in me. To be honest, he said something simr in the past, but I didn''t
pay that much attention to that back then.”
“So you''ve decided to take a step back and get together with Nan Xing now?”
As his daughter had expected, Ouyang Duo was a man who cared only for the pros and cons of a
matter. When he heard her actions were beneficial to his n, his interest was piqued, and his rage
dissipated a bit.
“I think Nan Xing is a good choice. He has potential, and he''s part of the Nan family. Moreover, he has
equal chances of inheriting the family assets; there''s a chance of him bing the head of the Nan
family. Furthermore, inparison with Nan Chen, Nan Xing will be easier to control,” Ouyang Qing
continued.
Those words were the exact words Ouyang Duo wanted to hear.
The entire time, Ouyang Duo wanted to control Nan Chen, but he realized that was a difficult feat to
achieve.
Nan Chen was far too strong. At the start, Ouyang Duo thought of him as a wolf, butter on, he
realized the younger man was actually a lion.
It was too difficult to tame a lion, and that was why that matter had always been a major headache for
Ouyang Duo.
However, Ouyang Qing''s words enlightened him.
She''s right. Nan Xing and Nan Chen are the same. If we have control over Nan Xing and use him to
rece Nan Chen, won''t we have the Nan family in our hands, then? Why didn''t I think of this earlier?
The moment Ouyang Qing saw the changes in her father''s expression, she knew he was interested.
“Nan Chen is no simple man. Even if I marry him, it''s close to impossible to control him. Even if I
manage to do it in the end, I would have spent a lot of time and effort on it. Moreover, emerging
victorious in this isn''t guaranteed. On the other hand, Nan Xing is a simple-minded man. If Nan Chen
disappears while Nan Xing is within our control, we can put Nan Xing on the throne. That way, he
would be the head of the Nan family. Moreover, Bai Hua has always been on my side, and Nan
Zhiyuan listens to his wife. By then, they''ll all be on our side. We won''t need to worry about whether or
not we''ll be able to control the Nan family,” Ouyang Qing went on.
Ouyang Duo did not speak, but his eyes lit up brighter.
“How is your rtionship with Nan Xing now?” Ouyang Duo queried.
At that, Ouyang Qing froze. Until now, nothing but a scandal had happened between her and Nan Xing.
“He''s currently courting me, but I haven''t said yes yet,” Ouyang Qing replied.
Hearing that, Ouyang Duo nodded in approval. “Don''t say yes so easily, or else he''ll think that you''re an
easy person. Still, you can''t be too distant from him because young people nowadays change their
minds quickly. Keeping an appropriate distance from him is very important. What about this? Make
some arrangements. I''d like to meet with Nan Xing.”
“You want to meet him? What are you nning to tell him?” Ouyang Qing asked, surprised by his
words.
“You''re still young, so you don''t have a good judge of people''s characters. I''m going to meet him and
find out what''s on his mind. Nan Xing isn''t the same as his brother. He''s a yboy. You have to be
careful and not be fooled by him,” Ouyang Duo worriedly remarked.
Upon hearing his words, Ouyang Qing sneered. “Don''t worry about that, Dad. With that brain of his, he
should thank his lucky stars that I haven''t fooled him yet. There''s no way he''ll be able to fool me.
You''ve said it too. He''s just a yboy. The easiest kind of people to deal with in this world is a yboy.”
As Nan Xing had always presented himself as a weak character around Ouyang Qing, she had
underestimated him.
However, being underestimated, in certain circumstances, was a good thing, as there were things he
could do.
“No. I still don''t feel at ease. Tell him he has to go through me first if he really wants to be with you.
Have him arrange for a time to meet me,” Ouyang Duo insisted.
With that, Ouyang Qing had no choice but to say, “All right. I''ll tell him about it.”
While Ouyang Qing was cursed non-stop byizens, the movie, I Am You, had started filming again.
Although Ning Ran had rejected him a few times, Nan Chen still insisted on having the driver send Ning
Ran to the film site in his Rolls-Royce.
The filming would only be in Flower City for a short while. After that, they would be heading southwest
for more outdoor scenes.
However, wanting to keep a low profile, Ning Ran asked the driver to park the car a far distance away
so that she could walk to the filming site instead.
Nevertheless, Nan Chen''s car was too eye-catching, and the people on the production team still
spotted it.
“Wow, look at that. She was sent here in a Rolls-Royce. How impressive.”
“Indeed. She''s one of Chen''s people, and she''s particrly good at sleeping with others. She managed
to sleep with Nan Chen and even give birth to their kids. Now, she''s living the good life!”
“So that''s how she climbed up the ranks. That''s not a great way, is it?”
Those people would not dare to voice those things in front of Ning Ran, but jealousy was a green-eyed
monster that made them talk bad about her behind her back.
“What are you talking about? Are you seriously talking bad about someone behind their back?”
The one who stood up for Ning Ran was none other than Tang Jing.
She had chosen the perfect timing to say that—when Ning Ran was close. That way, those people
would not dare to say anything else.
At the same time, Ning Ran would be able to encounter her standing up against the extras for her and
realize that she was on Ning Ran''s side.
