My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 639 Is This Not Great

Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan exchanged glances. 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 accompany 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 planned to maintain an adamant stance to put him in his place by relying on their status as elders.

Unfortunately, their strategy didn’t seem to work.

“Nan Chen, I can explain 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 from coming 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 to come 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

outcome you desire? I don’t believe you’re such a stone-hearted person!”

Bai Hua played the sentiment card as she spoke with tears streaming down her face.

“I actually discovered your fraudulent claim to be sick long ago. I was also under the assumption that you wanted to

come 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 exclaimed.

“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 accusing us?”

Nan Zhiyuan asked.

“The others are completely 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 plan 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 villa 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

unacceptable! Have we not raised you well in the past? Is this how you treat your parents?

Your mother and I aren’t welcome in the family by your grandpa. On the other hand, Ouyang Qing has been kind to

us, so we maintain a close relationship 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 recommending you to work in the company. 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 the company. Is he trying to turn you into his trusted aide?” Nan Chen asked.

“How dare you slander me, you b*stard!” Nan Zhiyuan bellowed and raised his hand to slap Nan Chen.

Nan Chen didn’t dodge. Instead, he endured his father’s forceful slap.

Nan Zhiyuan was dumbfounded. He could’ve avoided getting hit. Why didn’t he do so?

“Are you going to give me another slap? 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 the last 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 place. 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.
