Chapter 587


    Ning Ran picked up the bottle with shaky hands.


    She had never done such a thing in her life. Hence, she was not familiar with the process.


    “Where should I hit you?” she asked.


    “Anywhere. Just don''t be brutal. If you actually beat me to death, things will end terribly.” Ouyang Qi


    was actually slightly afraid.


    Ning Ran, on the other hand, did not have the courage to do it in the first ce. After hearing his


    words, she felt even more reluctant to attack him.


    Thus, she returned the bottle to the table. “I can''t do it. I think you should get someone else to hit you.”


    “No way. It has to be you!”


    “Get someone else to do it and tell your dad I was the one who did it. There, wouldn''t that solve it?


    Don''t tell me he''s going to run an investigation to check the fingerprints?”


    “No way. I can''t trust the others to hit me. What if that person hates me and decides to use the


    opportunity to take my life? I''ll be a goner if that happens!” Ouyang Qi said sulkily.


    “Forget it. I think this is too childish. Just tell your dad you can''t do this kind of cruel thing.”


    “You don''t know what my father is like. Once he loses his temper, he''ll cut ties with me. He''s already


    extremely disappointed in me. If I don''t do as he says, he''ll definitely kick me out of the house. So, to


    protect my identity as the son of a wealthy family, please hit me.”

    Ning Ran was in a tough spot. “Wouldn''t it be a waste if your dad doesn''t believe it after I''ve hit you?”


    “I''ll give Qing a call and get her to send me to the hospital. I''m sure they''ll believe me after that.”


    The more she listened to him, the more ridiculous it sounded to Ning Ran, and the more reluctant she


    was to attack him.


    “I''m not going to hit you. What if your sister sues me for intentionally hurting you? I''ll still get into trouble


    either way. Besides, how would I know if this isn''t a trap you people set up for me? Forget it. You


    shoulde up with another solution.” Ning Ran was determined to not do it.


    Ouyang Qi sighed. “As expected. You''re too soft-hearted. How are you going to deal with such a


    ruthless person as Nan Chen in the future?”


    “What did you say?”


    “Nan Chen''s a ruthless person. You can see it by just looking at his face. I bet he''ll snatch the kids


    away when he gets married to other rich women in the future. When that happens, you''ve got to go up


    against him. Then again, you''re so soft-hearted and gullible. How are you going to fight him?” Ouyang


    Qi questioned.


    His words had hit the nail on the head. That was precisely what she was worried about.


    Nan Chen had taken the children out to transfer their household registrations that day. Hence, Ning


    Ran had been feeling dispirited the entire day.


    Of all the things in the world, Ouyang Qi had chosen the right topic to talk about.


    “I''m really going to hit you if you talk nonsense again!” Ning Ran raised the wine bottle into the air.


    “I''m not stopping you from doing it. You''re the one who didn''t want to. You know what? Nan Chen is just


    being nice to you for now because the children are still young. You''re their mother, after all. I''m sure


    he''s hoping you can bring the children up. Basically, he''s treating you as a nanny—a free nanny. Once


    the children are mature enough, you''ll be old and haggard. Then, Nan Chen will ditch you and marry


    another young and prettydy, making her the children''s stepmother. What are you going to do if that


    happens? Are you able to go up against Nan Chen? Your man will belong to someone else. Even your


    children will—”


    Bang!


    Anger swept over Ning Ran as she listened to him. Hence, she lifted the bottle and brought it down on


    his head, as though the talkative man in front of her was Nan Chen.


    “Ouch!”


    Ouyang Qi was totally unprepared. Sensing Ning Ran''s sudden attack, he could only move aside


    instinctively, causing the bottle tond on his forehead near the corner of his eye. A cut formed on the


    skin, and blood started flowing down his face.


    Since that area had the least muscles, it was the easiest to cut. Moreover, the aim of the attack was so


    urate that itnded right in the weakest spot.


    Even blood started gushing out of the wound all of a sudden.


    Ning Ran was shocked by her own actions.


    She then looked down at the bottle in her hands. It''s not even broken. How is he bleeding already?


    Don''t people''s heads start bleeding only when the bottle is broken? Isn''t that what happens in the


    movies?


    “Damn it. Why did you ambush me? And that was such a violent hit! Ouch...” Ouyang Qi wailed.


    “Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed and talking about all the things I hate hearing!”


    “I''m just saying there could be such a possibility. It won''t necessarily happen. What are you so worried


    about? Oh my goodness. It hurts so bad!”


    “Then, let me send you to the hospital to get it bandaged. It''s just a cut with a minor bleed. There


    shouldn''t be any concussions.”


    “Nonsense! Do you really want me to have a concussion? Take out my phone and give Ouyang Qing a


    call. Tell her toe over to send me to the hospital.”


    “You want me to do the calling?”


    “You''ll dial her number and I''ll do the talking. You can leave after the call,” Ouyang Qi exined.


    Meanwhile, Ouyang Qing had just finished her meal with Bai Hua and was exiting the restaurant,


    getting ready to send thetter home.


    At the same time, Bai Hua had been constantly thinking about Ning Ran being in Ouyang Qi''s car,


    making her hesitate about calling Nan Chen to inform him about the matter.


    However, Nan Chen always treated her coldly. Whenever she talked ill about Ning Ran to him, nothing


    ever happened to Ning Ran. Hence, Bai Hua was a little hesitant at that moment.


    Ouyang Qing knew what was on Bai Hua''s mind. Despite that, she also knew Ouyang Duo had


    assigned Ouyang Qi a mission, which was to have Nan Chen cheated on.


    Since it was still the day, she figured Ouyang Qi would not havepleted his task, even if he


    managed to take any action. Hence, she did not want Bai Hua to tell Nan Chen about it at that moment.


    “Aunt, please don''t tell Chen so soon about Ning Ran being with my brother. It''ll make him worried.


    Nothing will happen in broad daylight. Besides, if she and my brother actually fall in love, there''s no


    harm in letting them have their way. My brother isn''t a great person. None of his rtionships with his


    girlfriendssted for more than six months. Ning Ran will definitely be dumped by him within that


    period. When the timees, she''ll face worse consequences,” Ouyang Qing said with a smile.


    After listening to Ouyang Qing''s exnation, Bai Hua felt her words made sense. If that woman wants


    to hook up with that uncivilized man, then so be it. Besides, she won''t be able to marry into the Nan


    family if she does that.


    “Oh, that reminds me. Qing, is there really nothing going on between you and Nan Chen?” Bai Hua


    asked.


    “Aunt, Chen and I aren''t meant to be. I''ve tried my best, but we just can''t be together. So, I''ve given up


    on him. Besides, after spending some time with Nan Xing, I think Nan Xing is more suitable for me. So,


    I''ve decided to be together with Nan Xing. I hope you can give us your blessing.”


    Bai Hua was delighted to hear the news. That works too! Nan Xing is my son as well. Besides, he''s


    more obedient, while Nan Chen is harder to control.


    “Sure. Xing is great, too. Go ahead and date each other. I''ll give both you and Xing my full support!”


    “Thank you, Aunt.”


    Right then, Ouyang Qing''s phone rang. Since she was driving, she epted the call using the


    Bluetooth option.


    “Qing, where are you? I need you toe over and help me. I''m injured!” Ouyang Qi''s voice rang out.


    “Injured? What kind of injury is it?”


    “I''m with Ding Mi. I originally wanted to—”


    “Where are you? I''ll go over,” Ouyang Qing interrupted, worried Ouyang Qi might say things she did not


    want Bai Hua to know about.


    “I''m at Hotpot City. I''m bleeding badly. Please hurry over. I can''t believe Ding Mi''s so ruthless. Ouch...”


    “Wait for me there. I''ll go over right away.” Ouyang Qing ended the call right away before Ouyang Qi


    could say anything else.


    “Aunt, my brother''s in trouble. I''ve got to go over to check things out. I''ll get a cab for you. Do you mind


    going home alone first?” Ouyang Qing asked, turning around to face Bai Hua.


    “Maybe I should go over and take a look, too.” Bai Hua was curious to find out what had happened.


    “It''s okay. My brother''s quite a prideful person. He wouldn''t want others to see him in such a miserable


    state. I can go there by myself.”


    “All right, then,” Bai Hua agreed reluctantly.
