My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 605 Stay Calm

It was already nine at night when Nan Zhengde returned. It had been a long time since he had gone out and

entertained guests. Nan Zhengde was exhausted from all the interactions.

As soon as he sat down, Chai Hua said, “Ouyang Duo is here. Do you want to see him?” Nan Zhengde’s eyes lit up.

“Is it really him?”

“Do you suspect that the Ouyang family is the culprit, Mr. Nan?” “Currently, there isn’t any evidence, but there will

be soon enough,” Nan Zhengde replied.

“So, would you like to see him?” “No. Tell him that I’m tired and have turned in for the night.” “No?” Chai Hua was

astounded.

“I always go to bed early. He’s here at this time of night to see if I’m unable to fall asleep. He wants to know if the

Nan family is restless and on edge. Ask him to leave. He’ll be back tomorrow,” Nan Zhengde said as he waved his

hand.

“Understood.” Chai Hua followed his order and went to the living room. “Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Nan has already retired

for the night. He can’t be woken up, or he’ll be very angry. Please return tomorrow, Mr. Ouyang.”

Ouyang Duo was taken aback. That’s not what I expected. Shouldn’t Old Master Nan be feeling anxious and unable

to sleep? He went to sleep this early? And he can’t be woken up?

He checked the expensive watch on his wrist. “It’s only a little past nine, and Mr. Nan is already asleep?”

“He always sleeps before nine because he has to get up early in the morning,” Chai Hua replied.

“Uh… I see. Has anything happened at home recently?” Ouyang Duo tried to probe.

“What might you be referring to, Mr. Ouyang?”

Chai Hua instantly threw the question back. As the housekeeper of the Nan residence, he was definitely not one to

be trifled with.

“Oh, I’m not talking about anything in particular. I’m just asking if everyone is well,” Ouyang Duo said.

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ouyang. Everyone is very well,” Chai Hua replied calmly.

“That’s good. Good to hear.”

Although Ouyang Duo said that, he still had no intention of leaving. He was unwilling to back down and refused to

believe that nothing was wrong with the Nan family.

“Are you planning to spend the night here, Mr. Ouyang? In that case, I will arrange a room to be prepared for you,”

Chai Hua said politely.

“Oh, uh, that’s not necessary. I’ll leave right away.”

Ouyang Duo could only stand and head outside.

Chai Hua pretended to try and make Ouyang Duo stay. “Mr. Ouyang, if you stay here for the night, you may see Mr.

Nan tomorrow morning.”

“It’s fine. I prefer my bed and am not used to spending the night outside. I’m going. Goodbye, Mr. Chai.”

“I’ll see you out, Mr. Ouyang.”

After exiting Commoner Residence, Ouyang Duo climbed into his car.

Feng Jialing had been waiting for him. “That was quick. What did the old man say?”

“I didn’t see him. I was told he had turned in for the night.”

“He’s asleep? Something happened to Nan Chen, and he’s still able to sleep soundly? Just how nonchalant is he?

Could it be that he doesn’t know what happened to Nan Chen?”

“There’s no way he doesn’t know. Nan Chen has been uncontactable for a long time, so the news would definitely

have reached them. The Nan family’s information feedback wouldn’t be this slow,” Ouyang Duo said.

“But why is Old Master Nan still able to fall asleep? Isn’t he just intentionally refusing to see you?”

“Old Master Nan is a sly old fox. I wonder what tricks he has up his sleeve. He’s been enjoying his status as a

powerful figure in Flower City for such a long time; it’s natural for him to be formidable. We should be careful,”

Ouyang Duo replied.

“Now that Nan Chen and Ning Ran have fallen into our hands, we don’t have to fear the Nan family anymore! We

will be victorious this time!”

Feng Jialing had always been rather calm and composed, but now she was almost on the edge of her seat.

Ouyang Duo pondered for a moment before speaking up again. “You’re right. No matter how powerful Nan

Zhengde is, he’s old and no longer on the board of directors. There’s nothing he can do.”

Nan Chen is trapped, Nan Zhiyuan is useless, and Nan Xing is a playboy. There is no one else left in the Nan family!

We will definitely win this!

Ouyang Duo’s mood improved as he grew more confident in his victory.

“Shall we have a small celebration?” Feng Jialing suggested.

“It’s still a little too early to be celebrating. We’ll do a proper one when we acquire Nanshi Corporation. Let’s head

back for now.”

Meanwhile, Chai Hua returned to the study room and saw Nan Zhengde practicing calligraphy again.

Nan Zhengde had written the word “calm” in large letters on the paper.

Calm your heart, mind, and situation.

Nan Zhengde raised his head and asked, “What do you think of my calligraphy, Chai Hua?”

“It’s excellent,” he answered.

“Such a flatterer. I think so, too.” As soon as Nan Zhengde finished his sentence, he let out a hearty laugh.

Chai Hua was glad to see Nan Zhengde still so optimistic.

Now that his grandson was in trouble, Nan Zhengde was the only one left who could do something. Moreover, being

able to do this in his old age was not easy.

“Sir, you should get some rest,” urged Chai Hua.

“I can’t sleep. I still feel quite anxious,” Nan Zhengde said honestly.

Chai Hua nodded in acknowledgment. If it were me, I would be more anxious than this.

“How do you intend to handle this?” he asked.

“When they come to negotiate with me, I will agree to all their demands,” Nan Zhengde replied.

“And what if they want Nanshi Corporation?”

“That won’t happen. Nanshi Corporation is too huge for one person to acquire. They won’t be able to handle it.

They just want the power to control, at most. With it, they can slowly acquire Nanshi Corporation. There are

countless listed companies under Nanshi Corporation. No one would be able to acquire them all in one go,” Nan

Zhengde stated calmly.

“So, will you be giving them the power to control?”

“Yes. I can’t refuse to do so. Chen is more important than Nanshi Corporation. Protecting him is the most important

thing.”

“You are right, sir. Where there’s life, there’s hope. As long as Master Chen returns in one piece, he’ll be able to get

back everything he lost!”

“By the way, has there been any news?” Nan Zhengde inquired.

“Not yet. They’re still investigating, but they’ve found the hotel Master Chen and Ning Ran had stayed at. They

should be making progress soon.”

“Okay.” Nan Zhengde gave a slight nod.

“You should rest, Mr. Nan. If you really are unable to fall asleep, have some milk or take a sleeping pill.”

Nan Zhengde conceded, “Sure, I’ll just have one pill then.”

Just then, Feng Wan entered the study. Nan Zhengde still had not retired to their room, so she came to take a look.

“What are you two talking about? It’s late. You should get some rest.”

“I’m going to bed now. Why are you still up?” Nan Zhengde asked.

“I can’t sleep because I was thinking about Chen. How did someone as bright as him fall for someone’s scheme?”

“Even the brightest person won’t be able to escape from someone else’s schemes. They set the trap long ago and

were just waiting for him to fall into it. It can’t be helped. But I believe he’ll be able to overcome this. He will survive

and return to Flower City.”

What he said was to comfort Feng Wan and himself.

As Nan Chen was unreachable, no one knew if he was dead or alive. So, although he had faith in Nan Chen, he was

still quite worried.

But this was precisely the time they had to remain calm.

“We should sleep for now. Hopefully, there will be good news tomorrow,” Feng Wan said.

“There will definitely be good news.”
