My Wife Is a Superstar
Chapter 309

When Nan Chen heard Ning Ran's words, he secretly praised her in his heart.

Despite being a klutz most of the time, her made a lot of sense when she spoke.

“No, you just owe me because you're not my biological daughter, but Luo Fei is. Therefore, you'reindebted to me for bringing you up.”

Ning Ran was stunned.

Even Nan Chen, who was behind the partition, paused with his cue in mid-air before graduallyputting it down.

"What did you say?”

“Didn’t I make myself clear enough? You are not my daughter while Luo Fei is! You always accuseme of being biased towards Fei. You're right, I am. But that's because she is my biological daughter,so isn't it natural for me to do so? You are just a bastard. Hence, you should feel grateful that Itolerated you in my home. I kept this a secret all this while out of respect for you and your mom.But now, you leave me no choice but to reveal the truth. Therefore, you owe me and have tocompensate me for that!” Ning Zigiang launched a tirade against Ning Ran.

“No, that can't be true. Although I am ashamed of having a person like you as my father, you cannotsmear my mom's reputation like that!” Ning Ran yelled back.

“I'm telling you the truth. You were never my daughter. When I married your mom, she was alreadypregnant with you! Her pregnancy had caused her to be willing to marry someone unknown likeme. She just wanted to give you a father. And that's how I became the person who shouldered theburden. So, why can't I have an affair? Why must I bring up someone else's child?” Ning Zigiangretorted.

“The worst thing was ever since she had you, she wasn't willing to get pregnant again. She wasworried that another child would split the love we have for you. She was an extremely selfishwoman. That's why I hooked up with Luo Yi so that she could bear me a child. So, why am I at fault?The fault is not mine at all!

Ning Zigiang's face was all red as he became very emotional.

Meanwhile, Qiao Zhan continued to stand close to them because he wanted to make sure NingZigiang wouldn't flee before the matter was resolved.

He was unintentionally listening in on their conversation, but quickly noticed that their topicbecame increasingly sensitive.

When he realized it was something that he shouldn't be privy to, so he began to panic.

However, Ning Ran was not in the mood to care if anyone else had heard their discussion as shewas rather shaken by her father's revelation.

Ning Zigiang's words felt like a bomb had exploded in her heart. After the shockwave reverberatedthrough her mind and she went blank for a while.

“I don't believe it! You're lying to me! I won't allow you to speak of my Mom that way.” Ning Ranscreamed.

“It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. You can run a DNA test to be sure. The fact is both of usare not related by blood and I am not your father. Therefore, shouldn't you compensate me fortaking care of you all this while?”

"You said that it was your Mom that brought you up, but that doesn't mean that I did nothing.Given how busy your mom was, how could she have brought you up without my help? Haven't Idone a lot for you? Now that I'm in trouble, shouldn't you help me out?”

“I don't believe it!"

“If you don't, you can always get it verified!”

“Fine, it that's what it take, I'll do it!"

At that moment, there was a slight movement from behind the partition and someone was heardclearing his throat.

Qiao Zhan understood the cue immediately.

“Mr. Ning, let me make the arrangements for the test. As for now, please follow me. I will arrangefor you to stay someplace comfortable for the time being. We will further discuss the matter oncethe test results are out,” Qiao Zhan instructed.

"Are you trying to imprison me?” Ning Zigiang roared.

“No we're not. I'm just providing you with accommodation. Don’t you have no place to stay now?Or do you prefer to sleep in the streets and be beaten up by your debt-collectors?” Qiao Zhanquestioned him.

Ning Zigiang's gaze hesitated for a moment.

“Under our protection, no one in Flower City will dare touch you. So, are you coming or not?” QiaoZhan repeated his question.

With that, Ning Zigiang quickly stood up and followed Qiao Zhan out.

Meanwhile, Ning Ran squatted down with her head hung low. The next moment, tears began toflow.

The sound of the billiard balls from behind the partition stopped. Nan Chen stood there, deep inthought.

Based on his judgement, Ning Zigiang was telling the truth.

Regardless of how shameless he was, Ning Zigiang wasn't going to lie about something like that.The reason was such a lie would be easily exposed. The DNA test was now easily accessible andhighly accurate.

Once the report was out, the truth would be revealed. Therefore, there was no point in him spewingsuch a lie.

In truth, Ning Ran too knew that it was true. Having grown up in that family, she was well aware ofhow Ning Zigiang treated her. It wasn't something she could easily forget.

Initially, she assumed the reason Ning Zigiang didn't like her was because she was a daughterinstead of a son.

After all, it was still common in China for parents to favor boys over girls.

Now, it was clear that Ning Zigiang would not have treated her better even if she was a boy.However, given how kind Mom was, how is it possible that she got pregnant before marriage and thensimply found someone else to be my father?

If it was an accident and the man wasn't willing to marry her, she still had other choices. Why did sheinsist on giving birth to me?

Was it because she was reluctant or was there some other reason?

If Ning Zigiang isn't my biological father, the who is it? And where is he now?

As her Mom had passed on, there was no way Ning Ran could ask her. Therefore, she may neverknow who her real father was.

Given how complex the matter had become, Ning Ran felt confused and frustrated

At that moment, Nan Chen emerged from behind the partition. Looking at Ning Ran who hadcurled up on the floor, he felt as if she was like an injured kitten.

As pity for her grew within him, he approached and helped her up.

After settling her down at the bar counter, he handed her a tissue.

Accepting it, Ning Ran wiped off her tears before forcing a smile at Nan Chen.

“I'm alright. After all, I never acknowledged him as my father. So, it doesn't matter whether if he ismy biological father or not.”

Nan Chen nodded slightly.

“We cannot choose how we are born, but we can still determine our own future.”

Ning Ran mumbled to herself as she felt she needed the encouragement.

“Qiao Zhan did some investigations and found out that someone had put him up to it,” Nan Chenexplained.

“Who?”

“Cheng Xiangyun.”

“Impossible! That's definitely not possible. Aunt is not that kind of a person. Why would she supportNing Zigiang to hurt me? She doesn’t have much to gain by destroying my reputation. So whywould she do such a thing?” Ning Ran ranted emotionally.

Nan Chen didn't respond.

“Don't tell me you believe it?”

“I'm not sure but this was what he said. How does he know Cheng Xiangyun? Furthermore, howdoes he know that she is your assistant?” Nan Chen asked.

“I don't have the answer to that. But, it wouldn't be hard for Ning Zigiang to replace out more aboutme. Therefore, he must be lying and can't be trusted!”

Nan Chen didn't comment.

He didn't know Cheng Xiangyun well, hence he couldn't tell what kind of person she was.

Despite being very close to Ning Ran, it didn't mean that she wasn't responsible for it.

In this world, everything changes including people. In fact, humans are the ones that are most proneto change.

Therefore, Nan Chen could only report what he heard. As to the veracity of the report, he neededQiao Zhan to further investigate.

“I will arrange a DNA test for you. If what Ning Zigiang claims is the truth, then we will just have toface it,” Nan Chen remarked.

"Alright, I also want to replace out whether he is lying!”
