My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 656 Erbao Was Furious

Later that evening, Nan Chen arrived at the set. He was clad in his trademark black suit and on crutches when the

director accompanied him to meet with everyone on the team.

Needless to say, cheers and exclamations from the female crew members reverberated across the place when he

showed up.

Since Nan Chen was there, he was expected to give a speech. The director handed Nan Chen the megaphone that

was used to control the scene.

However, Nan Chen refused to accept it. He hated such a lousy creation and thought holding it in his hand would

make him look like a hawker on the streets. Hey! I’m a CEO. This thing is too low for me and will ruin my image.

The production team was huge. Many people might not be able to hear Nan Chen clearly if he didn’t amplify his

voice.

Nevertheless, the man was unbothered. I don’t care if many people can’t hear me. There’s no way I’m going to use

that ugly thing!

Surprisingly, everyone fell silent before Nan Chen parted his lips. Hundreds of people eagerly waited for him to

speak. The place was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

The director usually communicated with the team on set using a megaphone, but some still wouldn’t be able to

hear him.

In contrast to that, the room was so silent that day that one could hear a mosquito buzzing when Nan Chen began

his speech.

There was no need to worry that one could not hear him. It was impossible as everyone had perked up their ears.

When the men moved a little and made noise, the women beside them would shoot them a glare. Did you hit your

head or something? Can’t you concentrate when a handsome man is talking up there?

“Hello, everyone. I’m Nan Chen. Happy belated new year to all of you.” Nan Chen gave a slight nod as he spoke.

Immediately after, the crowd applauded, and shouts could be heard.

A wave of jealousy washed over Huang Zichao when he saw that. As the winner of Best Actor himself, he had not

received such treatment from the production team.

“I know all of you have traveled all the way to the border to shoot the film. Ning Ran told me that everyone had

been working hard and had me prepare monetary gifts for each of you as a token of appreciation. I wish you all

good luck in your work and may you all have a happy life.”

Nan Chen’s speech was simple. It was solely a Lunar New Year greeting, and he mentioned nothing about business

matters.

The most important message was that he would be giving monetary gifts afterward.

Nan Chen’s subordinates subsequently carried the boxes of gifts and came over. He gestured for Ning Ran to stand

beside him and distribute the gifts to the team together.

All the men stood before Ning Ran, hoping she would hand them the gifts in person.

The women, on the other hand, looked at Nan Chen shyly as they received the gifts from him.

“I must hug Nan Chen when it’s my turn. Just a little while will do, and I won’t have any more regrets.” A female

crew member in line told the person next to her.

However, when she approached Nan Chen later, she was utterly stunned by his powerful aura and dared not have

improper ideas about him.

After receiving the gift, she mustered her courage to look at him, then walked away with her head hung low and

her cheeks flushed.

Once Nan Chen finished distributing the gifts, he waved to everyone and left with Ning Ran.

Nan Chen had already booked a whole restaurant to have a meal with Lu Jingyuan and her two children.

There were several reasons he reserved the whole restaurant. Besides safety concerns, he wanted to treat Qiao

Zhan and his subordinates to a meal to appreciate their hard work.

The bodyguards were seated downstairs while Nan Chen and the rest had their place upstairs.

Nan Chen was impressed by Lu Jingyuan’s beauty at first glance.

Although Ning Ran had shown him Lu Jingyuan’s photos, the feelings were different from when he met her in

person.

Ning Ran had been quietly observing Nan Chen’s face from the side, hoping to see some different expression of his

that day.

But soon, she realized it was impossible, as Nan Chen had on a poker face that revealed no hint of his feelings.

Lu Jingyuan, too, had been staring at Nan Chen. This man is so handsome, and he looks like a noble. I bet he isn’t

an ordinary person.

At that moment, Ning Ran was certain that Lu Jingyuan’s expression had changed slightly.

She said, “Let me introduce both of you to each other. This is Lu Jingyuan, and this is Nan Chen. Ms. Lu is the

beautiful owner of Mountview Inn. As for Mr. Nan, he’s the CEO of Nanshi Corporation and also my boss. I’m a

signed artist of an entertainment company under Nanshi Corporation.”

In other words, she was implying that she was not Nan Chen’s wife even though they had children together.

She wouldn’t mind if Lu Jingyuan and Nan Chen were old friends, and they needed not to pretend in front of her.

She was not married to Nan Chen anyway.

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Lu.” With one hand on his crutches, Nan Chen stretched out his other hand to shake hands

with Lu Jingyuan.

“Nice to meet you too, Mr. Nan. This way, please,” said Lu Jingyuan.

While the adults were still exchanging pleasantries, the four children had already started playing together.

Erbao and Lu Yunxue had similar personalities—both of them were chatterboxes. They could gossip about various

topics and would occasionally argue over a toy.

Dabao and Lu Yunbing, on the other hand, were the complete opposite. The two like to read books and watch their

favorite animation on their tablets or phones.

When Erbao and Lu Yunxue moved to the other side to play and left Dabao and Lu Yunbing at the scene, the latter

still wouldn’t talk to each other. They could remain silent for half an hour as if they didn’t know each other.

“Look. That’s my daddy. Isn’t he handsome?” Erbao said with a proud face.

“Yeah. But too bad he’s a cripple,” Lu Yunxue commented.

“My daddy is not a cripple!” Erbao exclaimed.

“If he’s not, then why is he on crutches?” Lu Yunxue bore no ill will with her remarks and was merely confused by

the sight.

Children will usually speak about what they see without filtering their words.

Even though Lu Yunxue was telling the truth, Erbao couldn’t accept it.

Daddy is a perfect man! How can someone call him a cripple? ”My daddy injured himself. It’s temporary. He’s not a

cripple!”

“What if he failed to recover? Wouldn’t he be a cripple then?”

Since Nan Chen had injured his leg, she thought he would become a disabled person if he failed to recover from the

injury.

“My daddy isn’t a cripple! How could you say bad things about him? I hate you!” Infuriated, Erbao stared at Lu

Yunxue with her reddened eyes.

Lu Yunxue got a little anxious at the sight. “I didn’t say bad things, I just—”

“You have to apologize to my daddy! Or I’ll ignore you!” Erbao was furious.

Realizing she had pissed Erbao off, Lu Yunxue was at a loss for what to do. She turned to look at Lu Yunbing.

“Yunbing…”

Although she disliked Lu Yunbing’s silence, she trusted her at crucial moments.

Such a personality of hers was similar to Erbao, who, too, would listen to Dabao at every critical moment.

“Admit your mistake and apologize to her.” The answer Lu Yunbing gave was simple but crude.

Lu Yunxue was momentarily stunned by her words. She had wanted to seek her sister’s support. Yet little did she

expect Lu Yunbing to ask her to admit her mistake. I only spoke the truth and did nothing wrong. Erbao’s daddy is a

cripple. Isn’t it obvious since he’s on crutches?
