Chapter 640
Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan exchanged nces.
Bai Hua pointed at Nan Chen and scolded, “What do you mean by that, Nan Chen? Are you saying that
I faked my terminal illness? I am indeed suffering from cancer. Is that how a son is supposed to
behave?”
“You still intend to keep up with the pretense? I''ve already investigated this matter. Those specialists
who diagnosed you back then were all bribed by Ouyang Qing. They all gave the standard diagnosis
that you were critically ill, but that wasn''t true! Do you want me to apany you to the hospital to get
another health check-up so that I can prove that you''re lying?” Nan Chen was infuriated too.
Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan panicked when they saw Nan Chen growing impatient.
They had nned to maintain an adamant stance to put him in his ce by relying on their status as
elders. Unfortunately, their strategy didn''t seem to work.
“Nan Chen, I can exin this matter. I missed you and Nan Xing dearly after staying abroad for too
long. I wish to be reunited with you two, but your grandpa forbade us froming back. Your father
and I resorted to this method because we had no other alternative. I can only return here by pretending
to be sick. In fact, your grandpa gave us the green light toe back here after I faked my illness. We
can stay together as a family now. Isn''t this great? Do you really hope for your dad and me to live the
rest of our lives and pass away in a foreign country? Is that the oue you desire? I don''t believe
you''re such a stone-hearted person!”
Bai Hua yed the sentiment card as she spoke with tears streaming down her face.
“I actually discovered your fraudulent im to be sick long ago. I was also under the assumption that
you wanted toe back here for your family, so I didn''t pursue this matter further to expose your
facade. But did you two return solely for the sake of reuniting with your family?” Nan Chen asked.
“What other reason could it be? Why don''t you enlighten us, then?” Nan Zhiyuan asked.
“Dr. Ding Yuanchao is in Livingsfill instead of Lightspring. Why did you deceive us by saying you
wanted to meet with him in Lightspring?” Nan Chen stared at his mother.
“What? I don''t know anything. I heard he was from Lightspring, so I assumed he would be there. What
are you implying, Nan Chen? Are you suspecting me?” Bai Hua eximed.
“You heard he was from Lightspring, so you assumed he would be there? But that''s not what you said
previously. You told us confidently he was in Lightspring and even provided us with his exact address.
Yet now you''re telling me you got this information via hearsay?”
“I got it. You doubt me, is that it? You think I caused you to be hit by a car, don''t you?”
“How did you know I was hit by a car? Who told you?” Nan Chen asked at once.
“I-I saw it on the news, of course!”
“Which news mentioned that I was hit by a car?” he pressed further.
“It''s reported in the news. I can''t remember which one!”
Nan Chen fell silent.
Sensing Bai Hua''s failure to suppress Nan Chen, Nan Zhiyuan piped up to pressure his son, “Nan
Chen, are you here to condemn us? Do you think we were the ones who harmed you? Do you believe
your mother and I did that? Is that what you''re trying to tell us?”
“I''m not trying to condemn anyone. I just want to know why those people were informed of my
whereabouts upon my arrival in Lightspring. They even arranged the trucks and selected the optimal
location to make their move. That signifies they already knew about my schedule even before my
departure. There are less than ten people who knew about my trip to Lightspring. I want to find out who
notified the Ouyang family.” Nan Chen sounded cold.
“You said so yourself that few other people have knowledge of your whereabouts, so why are you
using us?” Nan Zhiyuan asked.
“The others arepletely unacquainted with members of the Ouyang family. You two are the only
ones who have frequent dealings with them,” Nan Chen replied.
“That''s why you think we divulged the information? What kind of logic is that? Is that how you treat your
parents? You imbecile!” Nan Zhiyuan roared.
“I didn''t want to believe this to be the truth either, but I met with Ouyang Qing just now,” Nan Chen said.
Bai Hua''s facial expression changed drastically. “I admit I was the informant, but I didn''t know the
Ouyang family would n this wicked scheme. I merely thought Ouyang Qing liked you and wanted to
marry you. How could I fathom that she and Ouyang Duo were such foul and evil people? You are my
son. I wouldn''t want to harm you. Why would I want bad things to befall you?” She started crying as
she confessed her deeds.
Truth be told, Nan Chen had gone straight to the vi in Red Maple City from Commoner Residence.
He didn''t actually meet with Ouyang Qing.
He sighed inwardly at the sight of her mother''s demeanor.
“So, you admit that you exposed my itinerary to the Ouyang family. Is that right?”
“I didn''t do that on purpose. I thought Ouyang Qing wanted to tag along with you to seize the
opportunity to spend more time with you. Little did I expect her to—”
“That''s enough. I got it. You don''t have to say another word.”
“Nan Chen, I didn''t want to cause you any harm. I didn''t tell her on purpose. You have to believe me,”
Bai Hua choked out.
Nan Chen didn''t respond, but he could feel his heart aching a little.
If Nan Zhengde were aware of that matter, Nan Zhiyuan and his wife would undoubtedly be kicked out
again—perhaps for the rest of their lives this time.
At Nan Chen''s silence, Nan Zhiyuan thought his son had conceded, so he went off on a rant. “Nan
Chen, look what you''ve done. Your mother is crying because of you. You''re seriously an unfilial son!
Your behavior is absolutely uneptable! Have we not raised you well in the past? Is this how you
treat your parents? Your mother and I aren''t wee in the family by your grandpa. On the other hand,
Ouyang Qing has been kind to us, so we maintain a close rtionship with her. What is wrong with
that? She likes you and yearns to be with you, so why does it matter if we decided to help her? Is there
a problem with that? We didn''t have ulterior motives and only had your best interest at heart. Yet, here
you are, finding fault with us.”
“I want to know why Ouyang Duo pressured Grandpa into rmending you to work in thepany.
Do you have any idea what kind of person Ouyang Duo is? He''s someone who''s trying to acquire
Nanshi Corporation! But he''s now insisting you take up a position in thepany. Is he trying to turn
you into his trusted aide?” Nan Chen asked.
“How dare you nder me, you b*stard!” Nan Zhiyuan bellowed and raised his hand to p Nan Chen.
Nan Chen didn''t dodge. Instead, he endured his father''s forceful p.
Nan Zhiyuan was dumbfounded. He could''ve avoided getting hit. Why didn''t he do so?
“Are you going to give me another p? Go on, then,” Nan Chen uttered indifferently.
“You''re outrageous! How could you suspect your parents?” Nan Zhiyuan didn''t dare to strike him again.
“If you intend to attain a higher position in Nanshi Corporation, you should put more effort into figuring
out ways to contribute to the Nan family instead of constantly scheming with outsiders to target your
own family. Grandpa will undoubtedly pursue this matter involving you two and the Ouyang family.
Once he finds out the truth, I have no doubt he will cast out the two of you. I''m afraid you two might just
expire in a foreign country for real this time. I''ll think of a way to cover your wrongdoings, but this will be
thest time I do this. If you two mess up again in the future, I won''t consider our familial bond and be
as merciful anymore. Since you two can be so heartless as to conspire with others to do me in, why
should I acknowledge you as my parents? Move out of here and stay at my ce. Stay there
obediently and stop stirring up trouble from now on.”

With that, Nan Chen stood up and strode out of the room.
Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan let out a sigh of relief after hearing that Nan Chen would safeguard them.
