My Wife Is a Superstar
Chapter 389

The next day, a woman wearing a long black dress exited Flower City's airport's “Domestic Arrival’ inthe afternoon.

She was Feng Jialing, the wife of the Chairman of Sunshine Corporation's board of directors —Ouyang Duo. She was also Ouyang Qing's mother.

"Mom."

Ouyang Qing, who had been waiting for her mother for quite some time now, immediately wentforward and hugged Feng Jialing tightly. “I've missed you, Mom.”

“I don't believe you. If you had really missed me, why didn’t you come back home instead ofhanging around in Flower City,” Feng Jialing gently chided her daughter as she rubbed her headaffectionately.

"Well, that's because I have been busy.” Ouyang Qing said playfully, “That's why I didn't have time togo home and pay you a visit."

“It has been a long time since I had met you, Jialing.”

Bai Hua, who had also come along to pick Jialing up, put out one hand.

“You still look as young as ever, Bai Hua,” Feng Jialing chuckled.

The fact that they were on a first-name basis with each other showed just how close they used tobe.

“Ugh, I'm getting old. The years have certainly worn me down,” Bai Hua laughed, “But you, on theother hand, have done a great job on maintaining your figure. How do you do it?"

"Oh please, you've done a far better job than me. You look like a young girl in her early twenties,whereas I look like an old hag.”

After a round of compliments, both of them held hands and walked towards the car park. It wasvery clear that both of them were really close to each other.

However, Bai Hua got the feeling that Jialing was no longer as friendly towards her as she had beenin the past.

Feng Jialing used to address her as Hua. Now, she addressed her by her full name — Bai Hua.

The Nan family and the Ouyang family were some of the wealthiest families in the cities. However, ifone were to make a comparison, the Nan family was slightly more powerful than the Ouyang family.The main reason behind this was that the Ouyang family was primarily in the banking industrywhereas the Nan family had businesses in different industries.

Hence, the Ouyang family business fared better overseas. But, their business paled in comparisonwith all the other top global banks.

This, however, wasn't because the members of the Ouyang family were incapable. But rather, it wasbecause China's finance industry had had a late start compared to their counterparts overseas whohad had more than a hundred years of establishment.

Although rich women like them were polite and civil to each other on the surface, they all lovedkeeping up with the Joneses.

Back when the Nan family was the more powerful family, Bai Hua naturally felt more superior to herfriend. And this superiority proceeded to manifest through her actions and the way she treatedFeng Jialing.

Thus, even if hadn't sat well with Feng Jialing, she had no choice but to address her friend as Hua.But now, things have changed. The Bai Hua today could barely compare to who she had been in thepast.

A few years ago, she had been kicked out of the Nan family. It wasn't much of a secret and manypeople in this circle knew about it.

Although she had now returned to China, it would be incredibly difficult for her to regain her formerposition within the Nan family.

That was why Feng Jialing no longer felt the need to address her as “Hua’. In her opinion, she hadshown Bai Hua enough respect just by agreeing to meet her.

Even though both of them knew what was happening, nothing showed on their faces.

After they had reached the hotel, Feng Jialing went to get some rest first before arranging to havedinner together with them.

After Bai Hua made a move, Feng Jialing was left with her daughter.

“Qing, where are the other members of the Nan family? Why was Bai Hua the only one who came topick me up at the airport?” a displeased Feng Jialing asked.

“The others were busy. That's why Aunt went to pick you up.”

"And what's the point in that? She's like a discarded pawn now. She doesn't have any authoritywhatsoever in the Nan family.”

Feng Jialing was clearly unhappy with the reception at the airport. Although it was definitelyimpossible for Nan Zhengde to personally come and pick me up, shouldn't Nan Chen turned up as ajunior?

But this wouldn't have crossed her mind had she known that Nan Chen was unaware of her triphere.

“You can't think that way, Mom. It's better now that she doesn't have any authority,” Ouyang Qingsaid with a grin on her face.

Feng Jialing immediately caught her daughter's drift and chuckled, “That's true. Bai Hua used to beso arrogant. She was aloof and acted as though she was superior to everyone else.”

“In the future, the most powerful woman within the Nan family won't be Bai Hua,” Ouyang Qing saidwith a grin on her face, “It'll be someone else.”

“Who?”

“Nan Chen's wife, of course! He's the head of the Nan family. His wife would naturally be the FirstLady of the Nanshi Corporation. Who would be able to compare to her?”

“That makes sense. But I heard that Nan Chen's already in a relationship and has two kids too? Ithought that the both of you are a match in heaven. I certainly hadn't expected him to be in arelationship with someone else! What a twist of fate,” Feng Jialing sighed.

“And that was why I have asked you to come. You can rest assured, Mom. That woman may haveborne him two kids, but she doesn't come from money. Furthermore, she's just a small-time actress.She doesn’t know anyone or have any connections, so I have nothing to fear. As long as we makeour move fast enough, Chen definitely won't marry her.”

Feng Jialing looked into her daughter's eyes. It was like looking at her younger self.

Back then, she had ruthlessly eliminated all her opponents and successfully married into the Ouyangfamily, thus becoming Ouyang Duo’s wife.

Now that her daughter had encountered a similar problem, she was definitely prepared to go all outto help her daughter.

“But Qing, you are the girl in this relationship after all. I can’t go and propose to the Nan family onyour behalf, can 1?” Feng Jialing said with a frown on her face.

"Of course you can't. That's why this has to be done by the unimportant Bai Hua. She'll be the oneproposing on Nan Chen's behalf.”

“But she doesn’t have any authority within the Nan family. Can we even take her word for it?”

“But she’s Nan Chen's mother. This fact alone gives her every right to make this proposal. What'smore, with the extensive assets our family have, we're certainly compatible with the Nan family.What reason does the Old Master have to object to this union? That's why It doesn’t matter whobrings this up. The most crucial step is that someone does that. The Old Master has alwayssupported Chen. Would he not wish for a pillar of support as powerful as the Ouyang family behindChen? The Nan family is doing very well, but everyone who runs a business knows that risks andchallenges can present themselves at any time. If the Nan family were to run into some kind oftrouble, will they be able to count on that small-time actress to protect them? The answer is aresounding no. Would someone as shrewd as the Old Master not be able to make the right decisionin such a simple analysis on benefits? There are only a few people who can decide who Chenmarries. They're none other than the Old Master, the Old Madam, Bai Hua and Ning Zhiyuan. BaiHua and Ning Zhiyuan have agreed, so as long as the Old Master gives his consent, the Old Madamobviously wouldn't have any objections as well. That way, all the people who have a say in whoChen marries will be on our side. We'll definitely be able to succeed!”

Feng Jialing nodded her head in agreement.

Others might think that her daughter looked as innocent as a high school girl. But only she knewhow sly and cunning her daughter really was.

"Alas, the Nan family is doing very well now. If the Nan family were to run into some trouble, theOld Master will value their relationship with our family more,” Feng Jialing said.

"Well, that won't be too difficult,” Ouyang Qing sneered, “As long as your father agrees to help, itwill be quite easy to cause the Nan family some trouble.”
