My Wife Is a Superstar -
Chapter 302
While Ning Ran and Cheng Xiangyun were busy drinking and chatting about the wonderful futureahead, Ouyang Qing was also drinking in a private club at Flower City.
She sipped from her glass of Lafite as she flipped through some photos.
A man in black clothing was standing in a corner of the room with his hands clasped behind hisback.
“You took these photos yourself?”
"Yes, I did. I took them earlier tonight.”
“You're sure Ding Mi booked a room for this man?”
"Yes. He was being beaten up by some men and Ding Mis bodyguards saved him. After that, shetreated him to a meal before arranging for him to stay at this hotel.”
"Why does a no-name actress like her have bodyguards?” Ouyang Qing mused.
“They were assigned to her by the Nan family. Their combat skills are actually not too bad.”
“Is she that important to Chen?” Hatred gleamed in her eyes at the thought.
The man remained silent.
"Keep an eye on that man and make sure he doesn't escape. I want to meet with him tomorrow.”“Young Miss..."
"Just do as I say.”
The next afternoon, Ning Zigiang was starving. Unable to stand the pain gnawing at his insides, hedecided to head downstairs in search of food.
There was a dim sum shop near the hotel where he bought ten buns to be his meals for the day.Upon turning back around, he found his way blocked by two burly men.
Paranoid from having debt collectors constantly chasing after him, his first reaction was to flee.Unfortunately, one of the men grabbed hold of him before he could even take a step. “Don't run.We want to talk to you.”
Noting the somewhat friendly tone, Ning Zigiang stopped his struggling.
Ning Ran has bodyguards, right? Maybe she assigned these two to protect me.
"Our Young Miss wants to meet with you,” one of the men stated.
Ning Zigiang was even more relieved to hear that, convinced that they were Ning Ran“s men. Theywould not have been so polite if they were his debt collectors. On the contrary, he would probablybe receiving a beating right about now as well as more than a few swear words.
"Where is she?” Ning Zigiang asked.
"She's already prepared lunch and wants to invite you over.”
This news pleased Ning Zigiang as that meant he would be able to save his buns for another time.“Sure. Let me leave my buns at the front desk first then I'll gladly go with you.”
He was a poor man now. These buns were incredibly precious as they would sate his hunger easily.Hence, he was reluctant to throw them away.
He returned to the hotel and handed his buns over to the receptionist.
The receptionist was mildly surprised. She had been working here for many years and had seen a lotof strange things. However, this was the first time she had seen someone leaving their buns at thefront desk.
What made things even weirder was that the man climbed into a Mercedes-Benz after exiting thelobby.
Are all wealthy people as frugal as he? He's already sitting in a Mercedes-Benz, yet he doesn't evenwant to throw away a few buns!
Settling down in the backseat of the Mercedes-Benz, Ning Zigiang almost felt like he was back inthe past when he was still a CEO.
"Drive faster! Why are you driving so slowly?” he berated the chauffeur.
However, the chauffeur ignored him.
"Hey, I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me?” Ning Zigiang was starting to get angry.
Once again, he was ignored.
It suddenly dawned on him that even though these were Ning Ran's bodyguards, they had noconnection to him at all. There was no point in acting arrogantly in front of them as they would notlisten to him.
In no time at all, they arrived at a high-end restaurant. The bodyguards led Ning Zigiang to a privateroom.
Sitting inside the private room was a young, beautiful woman. Clearly, it was not Ning Ran.
Not recognizing who she was, Ning Zigiang was instantly on his guard.
"Who are you?”
Ouyang Qing stood up to welcome him. “Good day, sir. Please have a seat.”
Her polite demeanor, pretty appearance, and innocent smile caused his wariness to vanish.
"And who are you, miss?” he questioned while sitting down.
“I'm your daughter's friend,” the woman answered with a grin.
“You're Ran’s friend?”
What? Isn't that woman called Ding Mi? Who is Ran? Was I mistaken? But my men told me this isDing Mis father!
Pushing aside her doubts for now, Ouyang Qing hurriedly answered, “Yes, that's right.”
"Oh. But why isn't Ran here herself?” he queried.
“She's busy. Why don't we eat first? Please, dig in.”
Too hungry to protest further, Ning Zigiang eagerly began to eat.
"Would you like some liquor, sir?” Ouyang Qing offered.
“Can 1?" Ning Zigiang's eyes brightened at the thought.
He used to be a boss, so he was not shy about drinking liquor. Unfortunately, circumstances weredifferent now as he was impoverished and could not afford to buy any.
"Of course you can. Would you like a bottle of Maotai?”
"Yes, please!” At hearing he would be getting to drink Maotai, Ning Zigiang was even moredelighted.
Pouring a cup for him, Ouyang Qing raised her own and said, “A toast to you, sir.”
She finished the cup in one go.
It had been a long time since Ning Zigiang had drunk such a high-quality liquor. As such, heenjoyed himself immensely and downed several cups consecutively.
As the alcohol buzzed through his veins, a newfound rush of energy shot through him.
His earlier despondent attitude disappeared, and he was once more the powerful and influentialCEO.
He started to recount his glory days to Ouyang Qing. Some of what he said was true, but most werefake.
Sitting beside him with a smile plastered on her face, Ouyang Qing continued to pour him cup aftercup of Maotai. She watched as he slowly got drunker and drunker, waiting for the right time tospring her question.
“Sir, why is Ding Mi called Ding Mi?"
“That's a fake name! Her real name is Ning Ran. I would know; her damn mother named her that!She got pregnant with a bastard child and left. After she came back, she changed her name to DingMi. It's all fake!”
“A bastard child?”
"Yeah! She was still in university back then. I have no idea how, but she got pregnant. When I askedher who was the father, she refused to tell me. So I brought her to the hospital for an abortion, butguess what? She ran away! After that, she even gave birth to the twins!”
More than a little inebriated, Ning Zigiang completely let down his guard and blabbed everythinghe could think of, including what he should not have said.
Ouyang Qing was utterly shocked at his words. What? That means that woman is not exactly asinnocent as she seems! I have to let Nan Chen know!
"Do you know who's the father of those children yet?”
“Didn“t she tell you? It's someone from the Nan family! They've moved into the Nan family home tolive together now! Aren't you two best friends? Why didn’t she tell you this?”
"Oh, she did. I just forgot.”
Ouyang Qing fought to keep her astonishment from showing on her face. That woman actually gavebirth to children for the Nan family! No wonder she’s getting the royal treatment! Damn it. Now what?She's obviously important to the Nan family due to her children. How am I supposed to win againstthat?
“By the way, I heard you've run into some trouble recently, sir? Something about some peoplecoming after you?”
"Did Ning Ran tell you that?”
Nodding, she added, “Yes.”
“Hah, as if this isn't all her fault! I wanted her to get some money from the Nan family to pay off mydebts, but she absolutely refuses! Now, all my creditors are chasing me down to demand theirmoney back! I have no other choice but to run.”
At this, Ouyang Qing perked up in interest.
Huh? It seems like this old man still has a lot to say. I have to replace out more!
“Well, Ning Ran seems to be doing quite well for herself now. Even if she doesn't ask for moneyfrom the Nan family, I'm certain she has enough to pay off your debts!”
“That's the thing! She doesn’t want to give me any money! If she were willing to help me, I wouldn'tbe in such a pitiful state!”
