“No, you have to! I want Uncle Xing to see how much of a Computer Guru you are!”
The real Computer Guru is in school right now... Ning Ran thought to herself.
At the Yunfeng Temple.
Nan Zhengde was having vegetarian dishes for dinner.
Although it was against the temple’s rules to eat after noon, Most of the monks there did a lot of
manual labor during the day and had no choice but to eat.
Nan Zhengde didn’t have a huge appetite, so he would just eat something light when he joined them
for dinner.
Nan Zhiyuan cautiously helped him out, trying to look as filial as possible after being allowed to stay
by his side.
“How are things with the high-ranking official? The General told me during the banquet that the high-
ranking official came over to Flower City for an inspection. He wanted Chen to welcome the official,
but Chen wasn’t around at the time. This is such an important thing, so how could Chen be so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtirresponsible? What’s gotten into him?” Nan Zhengde asked Nan Zhiyuan.
He saw how Nan Zhiyuan was hesitant to speak and pressed on, “Do you know anything about this?”
“Well, I did hear a thing or two, but I’m not really sure what happened. It’s only been a short while since my return,
and I didn’t dare pry into the Nan family’s affairs too much,” Nan Zhiyuan said carefully.
“Stop beating around the bush and just tell me what you know!” Nan Zhengde shouted impatiently.
“I heard about this from Bai Hua, so I think she might be able to explain it better. Would you like to hear it from
her?”
“Sure, let her in.”
Bai Hua wasn’t allowed to stay in the temple at night, but visits were allowed during the day.
She was waiting outside the whole time and came straight in when Nan Zhiyuan called out to her.
She had been looking forward to this opportunity for a very long time.
“What is it, dad?” Bai Hua asked softly.
Her father was a Japanese, so she had been influenced by their culture and was very polite.
“What do you know about Chen?” Nan Zhengde asked.
“That’s the Nan family’s private affairs, and it’s inappropriate for a woman like myself to pry into it. That was the
mistake I made previously, and...”
“I’m not asking you about what happened before. Just tell me what you know.”
“I spoke to Nan Chen on the phone yesterday. He said there was a very important event today, which is to escort a
high-ranking official from the Capital. However, he had a sudden change of plans, so I was worried that something
came up and asked around about it,” Bai Hua said slowly.
“Did you manage to find anything?”
“Yes, it was because of a woman.”
“A woman? What woman?”
“The actress who gave birth to his two kids.”
“Ning Ran? Apart from her not-so-ideal background, she’s actually quite pretty and would probably
make a good match for him. If Chen likes her, and they already have kids of their own, then it should
be fine for them to be together,” Nan Zhengde said.
Bai Hua was shocked to hear that. Nan Zhengde is on Ning Ran’s side? Despite him being a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreasonable person, he isn’t one to be trifled with. I thought someone of his age would be so fixated
on finding someone with a matching background, and yet here he is saying he’s okay with it?
“That was what I thought as well, but then I did some digging and found out more information about
her. There seems to be more to her than meets the eye,” Bai Hua said with a frown.
“What do you mean?”
“Take what happened today for example. Chen had originally planned to escort the official, but then
something happened to Ning Ran while she was on set. She then gave Chen a call and told him to
drop whatever he was doing to go and see her. Chen was reluctant and told her that he had
something really important to take care of, but Ning Ran insisted and even threatened to kill herself
if he didn’t do as she asked. Chen, being the kind-hearted person that he is, gave in to her threats
and rushed over to see her,” added Bai Hua.
Nan Zhengde was enraged when he heard that. “What? How could she be so unreasonable?”
“I too, find it hard to believe. However, that appears to be the case here,” Bai Hua said.
“Looks like I’ll have to find out more about Ning Ran, then. Such behavior is unacceptable!” Nan
Zhengde said angrily.
“Although I’m no longer allowed to interfere with the Nan family’s affairs, I am still concerned about
my son, Chen. As such, I made use of our resources to find out more about Ning Ran. The things she
has done in the past are simply shocking to say the least.”
