My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

“I see. I understand now. Let me get someone to get to the bottom of this.”

Although old Nan Zhengde’s heart was filled with suspicion, his voice did not flinch as he called out to his butler,

Chai Hua, and motioned to him to investigate the matter.

Chai Hua obeyed and went to the corner to make a phone call.

“The children like Ouyang Qing, so I allow her to take them out to play. I’m sorry for the problem caused by that.”

The Old Master did not want the situation to become even more awkward, hence he spoke tactfully.

“My daughter also likes the two children, hence they are close to each other. Since they’ll be a family in the future,

it’ll be good to let them interact more often. It’s just that the public security of Flower City is not good, leading to

the children being bullied. Thankfully, my daughter Qing was there to make sure the children were not wronged,

thus leading to the trouble,” Feng Jialing narrated with gusto, emphasizing Ouyang Qing’s contribution.

Upon hearing the one-sided narration, Feng Wan who was sitting beside could not bear to listen anymore. “Weren’t

there bodyguards assigned? Who would dare to pick on the children of the Nan family? We are already doing the

world a favor by not picking on anyone. The fact that they were harassed in Flower City meant that someone dared

to go against the Nans!”

The words from her mouth sounded arrogant, yet rang the truth!

With the dominant influence of the Nan family in Flower City, what were the possibilities of anyone picking on them?

In fact, old Nan Zhengde agreed whole-heartedly with these words. But since he was the patriarch of the family, he

had to keep up his stoic appearance and had to hold back from agreeing with the statement.

But Feng Wan did not care as much, hence her sudden outburst.

Both Feng Wan and Feng Jialing shared the same surname of Feng. At one point Feng Jialing had even addressed

the former as “aunt”. However, in Feng Wan’s eyes, Feng Jialing was always self-righteous, and hence she did not

like the latter very much.

“Aunt, I may not know too much about this incident, but my Qing was arrested for protecting the children. This is a

fact.” Feng Jialing sounded dissatisfied, sensing that the Nan family was not backing her up fully.

Feng Wan wanted to retort, but the old man winked at her and hinted at her not to say anything anymore.

“Let’s take a break, shall we? Bring out some tea! Let’s serve our guest here a good cup of tea.” Feng Wan waved

her hand.

This simple act might look normal, but in fact, there was a profound hidden meaning.

The person who called for tea was the master, and the person who is served tea was the guest.

In other words, Feng Wan was telling Feng Jialing subtly that even if she was Ouyang Duo’s wife, she was still only a

guest here, hence she should not overstep her bounds and push her luck!

Right then, Chai Hua came over and whispered a few words into the ear of old Nan Zhengde. No one could hear

what was said between them.

“Don’t worry. Your daughter has been released. It’s no longer a problem,” the old man announced.

“Really?” Feng Jialing could hardly believe it.

“Of course it’s true. The Nans still exert certain influence in Flower City,” Feng Wan could not help herself and

retort.

Feng Jialing was at a loss for words. She quickly took out her phone and dialed for Ouyang Qing.

As if right on cue, Ouyang Qing quickly answered her call, “Mom?”

“Are you okay? Are you now out?”

“I’m fine. Totally okay. They can’t do anything to me. But I still want to sue them!” Ouyang Qing complained

furiously over the phone.

“Zip it. Let’s not talk about it now. I’m over at the Nan family. We’ll discuss this matter later. Hang up first.” With

that, Feng Jialing hung up the call.

“My heartfelt thanks to your daughter for taking good care of my great-grandchildren. The Nan family is grateful,”

the Old Master thanked politely yet again.

“Old master is way too polite. We’re a family anyway. By the way, where is Nan Chen? With something like this

happening, why doesn’t he say anything? Doesn’t he care?” Feng Jialing ventured.

In fact, old Nan Zhengde hoped to be able to answer this question himself.

After all, Nan Chen had been unreachable since yesterday, and no one knew where he had gone.

However, Nan Zhengde himself was not too worried. He knew that Nan Chen disappeared for a reason, and he had

brought along Qiao Zhan and Jiang Zhe – one being the brain, another being the brawn – with him.

This was enough to show that Nan Chen was not seized nor disappeared unintentionally; he was on a mission of his

own.

Nonetheless, Nan Chen did not tell anyone what he was going to do, nor did he tell anyone where he went.

Therefore the old man could not answer Feng Jialing’s question. Even if he knew the answer, he would not tell her in

the first place.

“Chen is in a meeting,” the old man said calmly, hoping to redirect the question.

“In a meeting? My daughter Qing is his fiancée, and now something has happened to her. He doesn’t even care nor

give her a call. How is that possible?” Feng Jialing questioned insistently.

Feng Wan interrupted her, “This is just a trivial matter. Merely a small incident. So don’t exaggerate it. For such a

small, insignificant place like Flower City, we the Nans can still settle most of the things.”

Feng Wan was the real experienced lady here. After so many years with Nan Zhengde, she had been through many

hardships and good times. What else had she not seen nor experienced?

She knew the many things that would be inconvenient for her husband to articulate, hence, as the mistress of the

house, she would speak on his behalf.

Her intervention had always come in a timely manner, making Nan Zhengde very happy with her backup.

Having being interjected in such a manner, Feng Jialing nearly choked. She felt reluctant to let the matter pass just

like that.

“Anyway, shouldn’t he at least show his concern at the very least? With his attitude to Qing, isn’t he too fickle and

heartless?”

“The moment Chen finishes with his business, surely he will call and ask. After all, the Nan family will never let

anything slide. If there is someone out there looking to harass my good great-grandchildren or to pick on Miss

Ouyang, we the Nans will never sit back and watch!” Feng Wan answered assuringly.

“If that’s the case, then that will be the best.”

As Feng Jialing was talking, someone happened to drop by.

The visitors were none other than Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan. Both had gone to pick up the children after they heard

of the incident.

Basically, Erbao and Dabao refused to come back right away and instead stayed and played at the amusement

park for a while before Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan to bring them back.

“Great-Grandpa, we’re back…”

Before Erbao had even come in, she had yelled out in her long, draggy voice.

A smile appeared on the old man’s face. “My great-grandchildren are back! Let me go see them!”

Erbao had been running around too much. She was drenched in sweat. Her hair was messy. Her face was red and

flushed, and she looked really cute.

“Great-Grandpa! Great-Grandma!” Erbao called out sweetly.

“Ah, my dear great-granddaughter. Come here. Let me have a look at you.” Feng Wan called out at Erbao.

“Oh, my! The in-laws are here too! Hello! Hello!” Bai Hua pretended to be surprised and greeted Feng Jialing.

In fact, she knew Feng Jialing was here all along.

“Don’t call me your in-laws yet. I’ll be embarrassed if you do. Also, nothing has been set in stone yet.” Feng Jialing

replied.

“You can’t say that. My father personally agreed to the marriage after all. Let’s discuss and choose a date and

settle our children’s affairs. Surely everyone will feel at ease then.” Bai Hua started to put up an act in concert with

Feng Jialing.

Old Nan Zhengde meanwhile only wanted to talk to Dabao, as if he had not heard the ongoing conversation

between the two women.

Of course, he had heard their pretentious conversation, however, he chose to pretend not to hear it.

Seeing the Old Master did not react to the suggestion, Feng Jialing felt a little abashed.

Bai Hua had originally wanted to utilize this matter to show off in front of Nan Zhengde, by striking the iron while it

was hot, and to complete the marriage between Nan Chen and the Ouyang family.

She herself did not expect the Old Master to keep quiet, so she was at a loss for a while.

Quickly she turned her eyes to Nan Zhiyuan and hinted at him to help to drive the nail home.

Nan Zhiyuan actually sensed that the Old Master was deliberately avoiding the issue, hence he was reluctant.

However, with Bai Hua putting the pressure on him, he had to do something.

“Dad, Nan Chen is not young anymore. I think his marriage should be decided as early as possible, right?” Zhiyuan

pointed out.

Originally, when the two women were chatting about this matter, Nan Zhengde could still withhold his temper.

But hearing what Zhiyuan said, the old man became really upset.

You b**tard! The Ouyang family has been using the project to intimidate us! As a member of the Nan family, not

only do you not share our burden, but you choose to help the other side to push their agenda instead?

“Everyone, please disperse! As for the two ladies, please stay calm. If there are any grievances please refer to the

police. Thank you for your cooperation.” A store staff came to persuade everyone to leave the spot.

Slap!

At this point, Ouyang Qing was clearly getting out of hand as her wrath led her to slap the well-intentioned staff

member as well!

“Where were you when this whole thing started? Why show up only now? Try to be the good guy? This is none of

your business!” Ouyang Qing rebuked.

Not anticipating such treatment, the store staff was stunned to be slapped in such a manner.

“Miss, how can you heedlessly slap every one without any consideration?” The store staff reprimanded indignantly.

Ouyang Qing shrugged it off as she responded domineeringly, “I don’t care.”

“You…” The staff was at a loss for words.

“Don’t you dare to refer to me so casually? Who are you? You’re just a mere country bumpkin. You are disgusting!”

Ouyang Qing was seriously out of control.

The more one lost control, the more one’s true color was revealed.

Ouyang Qing was usually dignified and decent, a true lady belonging to the elite of the upper class.

As for the current Ouyang Qing, she seemed to have lost her manners. Her current behavior was no different than

that of any ordinary street rabble.

Even the onlookers felt that she was at the same level as the woman who fought with her.

Except that Ouyang Qing was more arrogant and annoying, hence, she could lash out at anyone due to her

privileged background and powerful family.

Just as the commotion seemed to worsen, the police finally arrived.

“Who called for the police? Who’s fighting?” asked the police sternly with irritation in his voice.

“This madwoman here is beating up people!” The onlookers all pointed their fingers at Ouyang Qing in accusation.

The sad truth was this high-and-mighty, the condescending Miss Ouyang had stirred public wrath when she

carelessly threw out the phrase “country bumpkin” in her rage. As the result, all those present were inadvertently

offended.

The conflict and angst between the upper and lower strata of society had always existed. There had always been

dissatisfaction existing in the different social classes. It was always wise not to flaunt one’s social status nor insult

anyone based on one’s social standing.

Despite being an intelligent person, Ouyang Qing did not possess the wisdom to comprehend this. A mere phrase

uttered carelessly had resulted in reigniting the different social classes

“Not me! I’m not the instigator! It’s this woman who ran her mouth first!” Ouyang Qing was starting to feel anxious.

Ignoring her protest, the policeman said, “Ma’am, please come with us.”

Flabbergasted, Ouyang Qing pointed to the policeman and questioned, “Which police station do you belong to? How

dare you arrest me? Don’t you know who I am? What’s your name?”

The police took out his identity badge and reminded her, “Please cooperate.”

“I don’t want to! The fault lies with this woman. She’s the one who started scolding me first! Why do you arrest me

instead?”

“I’m not arresting you. I’m merely asking you to cooperate with our investigation. Tell us what happened at the

police station.

Ouyang Qing panicked and screamed, “I won’t go. I won’t say anything either! What else can I say to you people?”

Although Dabao and Erbao could not manage to squeeze in to witness the unfolding drama, Ouyang Qing’s agitated

scream could be heard above the clamors of the circling crowd.

“Brother, has Miss Qing gone crazy?” Erbao whispered weakly.

“It’s called committing a gaffe. Always remember that proper ladies should never commit a blunder.” Dabao

earnestly reminded his sister, trying to pass on his wisdom.

“What is a gaffe?” Erbao could not understand his remark.

“So kicking a fuss like Miss Qing. That’s called a gaffe. A blunder if you will,” explained Dabao patiently.

“Scolding and swearing at people are a gaffe?” Erbao tried to make sense of the word.

Feeling as if he failed to explain the whole concept clearly, Dabao tried again. “No. A gaffe is when one does

something that one should not have done in the first place under normal circumstances.”

“Then what shall we do now?” Erbao asked.

“It’s none of our business. It’s a matter for the adults to sort out among themselves. We are just children, hence we

don’t need to do anything.” Dabao calmly clarified.

“Therefore we just look on like this?” Erbao did not quite understand it yet.

“Yes, let us just observe.”

“But you never regard yourself as a child. Why do you suddenly say that you’re a child today?” Erbao asked again.

“It all depends on the situation. Sometimes, we can only be children. For example, right now. What else can we do?

We can’t even squeeze ourselves in.”

Hearing that, Erbao felt it all made sense. Picking up the fork, she continued digging into the cake.

After all, it would be such a pity not to finish such a delicious cake.

“Little young master, let’s us get in the car. It’s too chaotic here. It’s not safe.” Another bodyguard of the Nan

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

family had rushed over to protect Dabao and Erbao.

“It’s safe here. No worries. Mr. Policeman is here,” Dabao nonchalantly reminded.

“But it’ll still be safer for us to get into the car. If something were to happen to you both, I won’t be able to bear the

responsibility…”

Cutting him off, Dabao assured, “You don’t have to worry. We’ll be just fine. Look, my sister is still eating. Don’t

disturb her.”

Erbao hurriedly raised her head. Her mouth was full of butter as she kept nodding, “Yes, yes! I haven’t finished

eating. There’s no hurry!”

The bodyguard could not help but smiled. This pair of twins were too cute. Who else could resist them?

“Come. Eat together with us,” Dabao invited the bodyguard.

“I’ll have to politely decline. It’ll be against the rules to dine with you. Thank you for your kindness, little master,”

the bodyguard politely rejected.

“It’s just eating. Why are there so many rules? Come. Just eat.” Dabao extended his invitation again.

“No, you don’t have to trouble yourself. Thank you, little master. I’ll keep watch here. Meanwhile, please enjoy your

meal in peace.”

Although he did not accept the invitation, the bodyguard felt grateful.

Just now, when one of his colleagues was slapped by Ouyang Qing, he was initially angry. It was inevitable that the

bodyguard had developed a sense of camaraderie, so when one person was hurt, the other could feel it too.

But with Dabao’s kindness, his heart felt a lot better.

A mere child who was only five years old was more humane than an educated lady from the prestigious Ouyang

family.

Erbao wiped her mouth, took a piece of cake, and handed it to the bodyguard. “You eat, please?”

“No, little miss. Thank you young miss!” The bodyguard was moved.

“Come, just eat. It’s okay. There’s a lot more left. I can’t finish them all by myself.” Erbao invited him sincerely.

I really can’t finish all these. Else I will be the one to finish them all on my own!

This is my favorite cake after all!

There’s no reason not to eat. Erbao reasoned sensibly in her mind.

The bodyguard was left in a tight spot. Faced with Erbao’s innocent insistence, he could not bear to refuse.

However, if he really accepted the invitation to eat, he’d be going against the rules. He might even be reprimanded

by Captain Qiao.

“Don’t worry. Uncle Qiao won’t blame you. If he does, just say that I forced you to eat.” Dabao seemed to read the

bodyguard’s mind.

Feeling assured, the bodyguard finally relented. “Okay, I’ll take a bite. Thank you little miss. Thank you little

master.”

He was not hungry, but he really could not bear to brush aside Erbao-and-Dabao’s good intention.

He thus took the piece of cake offered and gobbled it down with big mouthfuls.

In his mind, he was astounded by the stark difference in attitude. On one side, was a young miss and a young

master offering him a cake. On the other end was a wealthy daughter of a prestigious family scuffling with a

commoner and retaliating against a policeman.

In the end, Ouyang Qing was arrested by the police who did not know who she was.

The Ouyang family was fast to react to the whole fiasco. In just half an hour, Feng Jialing had appeared at the doors

of Commoner Residence personally, wishing to meet old Nan Zhengde.

Since Feng Jialing was Ouyang Duo’s wife, the Old Master decided to see her. He also called his wife Feng Wan into

the main hall for the meeting.

Feng Jialing looked very anxious and did not mince her words. She straightforwardly accused, “Old Master, my

daughter has been taken away by the police because of the Nan family. Are you going to do something about this?”

Nan Zhengde was taken aback and quickly asked, “The police station? Why is she in the police station? What is the

situation?”

“My daughter took Nan Chen’s children out to play. Since someone bullied the children, she stood up against the

bully to protect the children. As the result, she had a scuffle. Someone called the police to the scene. The police

came and took Qing away,” Jialing quickly summarized the incident.

The old man felt that something was amiss. When they had gone out today, he had clearly arranged a team of

bodyguards. If a conflict arose, it would be the bodyguards who should be involved. Why did a young miss of the

Ouyang family end up in a scuffle with someone instead?

A prim and proper daughter of a prominent family fought with others and was taken away by the police. Wasn’t this

too shameful?
