My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 564 We Shall See

In truth, the person who sent the cake over was none other than Ouyang Qing. She was the one who requested

Tang Jing to bring the cake to the set.

Ouyang Qing did not tell Tang Jing what poison she used in the cake, but the latter knew it was a deadly substance

that could kill the child in the blink of an eye.

Had Ning Ran eaten the cake with her daughter, she would also suffer a miserable death.

Ouyang Qing’s plan sent chills down Tang Jing’s spine. If that had happened to Ning Ran and her daughter, Tang Jing

would never be able to clear her name.

Knowing the consequences of the action, Tang Jing swapped the cake behind Ouyang Qing’s back.

She tossed away the poisoned cake and replaced it with something that looked similar. She then instructed a runner

to deliver the cake to the set so that the crew members could bring it in with the lunchboxes.

With that, Tang Jing could at least tell Ouyang Qing that she had done her part, and Ouyang Qing would have no

reason to blame her if nothing happened to Erbao.

If she wants to know what went wrong, she can investigate it herself.

Meanwhile, Tang Jing was surprised that Erbao did not touch the cake at all.

What did this imply? It could only mean that Ning Ran was on her guard.

Besides, Erbao was always surrounded by a bodyguard, who monitored everything she did.

Now that they had put their guard up, Tang Jing had to be more cautious not to dig her own grave.

Ouyang Qing can do anything she wants, but I’m not going to screw things up for myself!

Besides, Tang Jing had never thought of harming the child.

She only wanted to make a splash in the entertainment industry, but not by using such a vicious tactic. Moreover,

she could not bring herself to lay her finger on an innocent child.

That was why she replaced the cake.

Tang Jing was relieved that she swapped out the poisoned cake, as she had foreseen the disaster that might

happen.

What if someone else accidentally ate the cake and died? I’ll be held accountable for the person’s death!

In other words, Ouyang Qing had not only marked Ning Ran and Erbao as her targets, but she also wanted to get

rid of Tang Jing indirectly.

Later in the afternoon, Ouyang Qing gave Tang Jing a call. “Come and see me.”

Meanwhile, Ouyang Qing had been swiping her phone the whole day, hoping to read about the death of Ning Ran’s

daughter on the internet.

She could not wait to celebrate the news with a bottle of wine.

Yet, she did not come across any news about Erbao’s death.

That was why she panicked and decided to ask Tang Jing to come over.

Tang Jing took out her phone and showed Ouyang Qing the video of her delivering the cake to the set. In the video,

Erbao was also seen staring at the cake.

“Did she not eat the cake?” Ouyang Qing was surprised.

“Nope. I tried to tempt her, but she refused to eat it,” Tang Jing said.

“Is she that shrewd? Does she not have a sweet tooth?”

“The girl wanted to eat but resisted the temptation. The Nans must have taught her not to eat food from suspicious

sources,” Tang Jing analyzed.

Ouyang Qing nodded. “That must be the case. Otherwise, she would have eaten the cake because I know she’s

obsessed with desserts.”

“I guess trying to poison the child with food is a bad idea,” Tang Jing said.

As her frustration kicked in, Ouyang Qing raised her voice. “What else can we do? I’m sick of that arrogant

woman!”

“Let’s not rush it. I’m sure there’ll be more opportunities in the future. What you should do now is to win Nan Xing

over. You can always think of other ways to get rid of Ning Ran in the future.”

Ouyang Jing exclaimed, “How can I sit here and do nothing? Nope. I’m not gonna wait anymore. I’ll do everything to

stop her from completing this film! Why should I give her the opportunity to shine in the film I’ve invested in?”

“I’ll not let her ride on the success of this film. No way!” Ouyang Jing roared.

Upon noticing how agitated Ouyang Qing was, Tang Jing could only keep mum.

What’s wrong with you? Nan Chen is the main investor in that film. You only invested in the project because you

wanted to get close to Nan Chen. Yet, now you’re mad that his woman plays a leading role in it?

Tang Jing advised, “Let’s not act hastily. We should strike only when the opportunity arises. The crew will be shooting

a few scenes in Lingnan province soon. Once they leave Flower City, you’ll have more opportunities to take them

down.”

Ouyang Qing thought what she said made sense.

She’s right. I won’t be able to do anything to Ning Ran because the Nan family is too influential in Flower City.

But once the mother and the daughter are out of Flower City, getting rid of them would be a piece of cake.

“When are they leaving for Lingnan?”

Ouyang Qing might be one of the investors, but she was not aware of the details of the shoot.

“I think it’ll be after the Lunar New Year. The director decided to shoot a few scenes in Lingnan because of its warm

climate,” Tang Jing answered.

“If that’s the case, I have to start planning now since Lunar New Year is just around the corner. I’ll make sure she

never returns to Flower City once she leaves!” Ouyang Qing gritted her teeth and said.

“Once they’re out of the city, you’ll be able to get rid of them easily!” Tang Jing assured her.

I can’t wait for her to get rid of Ning Ran and Erbao once they’re out of the city! At least I don’t have to get my

hands dirty!

“I want you to keep an eye on her too. If you get to finish her off before the Lunar New Year, do it!”

Tang Jing was surprised, and she did not understand why Ouyang Qing hated Ning Ran so much.

Had they been in love with each other, nothing—not even Ning Ran—would have come between them.

In other words, Ning Ran might die in Ouyang Qing’s hands even if she was innocent.

Nonetheless, Tang Jing knew she would benefit from Ning Ran’s death should it happen.

Tang Jing was not a fool, as she could foresee what would happen if things went according to Ouyang Qing’s plan.

Should Ouyang Qing succeed in getting rid of either Ning Ran or her children, Nan Chen would use all his resources

to track the culprit.

Once the powerful Nan family mobilized all their resources, they would hunt down the mastermind in no time.

Ouyang Qing would then have the face the music. Her actions would also spark a catastrophic dispute between the

Nans and the Ouyangs.

Should that happen, Tang Jing would support the Nan family and expose everything Ouyang Qing did.

Needless to say, she was confident that she could clear her name and eventually win the Nans’ trust.

That would be her opportunity to rise through the ranks.

Those who wished to get to the top would always look forward to unexpected turns of events, as such situations

would open doors to new opportunities.

“All right. I’ll observe them closely. Should opportunities arise, I’ll inform you right away,” Tang Jing said.

“You wouldn’t betray me, would you?” All of a sudden, Ouyang Qing shot daggers at Tang Jing.

“Of course not. I owe my success to you, and I’ll lose everything if I betray you. Only a fool would make such a silly

move.” Tang Jing immediately pledged her loyalty to Ouyang Qing.

“Good. I hope you’ll remember what you said today. If you dare betray me, I’ll make sure you die a death more

miserable than Ning Ran’s.” Ouyang Qing threatened.

Tang Jing sneered inwardly while she responded, “Yes, I know. I’ll not betray you, don’t worry. After all, I still need

you to help me rise to stardom.”

Yet, deep in her heart, Tang Jing thought otherwise. Let’s see who would die a miserable death in the end.

“Good. You’ll be the next to replace Ning Ran once she’s out of the way. Trust me.”

Tang Jing nodded with a smile. All these promises mean nothing to me. I trust no one except myself, and I’ll work

my way to the top.
