Chapter 571 Poor Erbao

Ouyang Duo had enough and strode away. Ouyang Qing was frustrated, knowing that she hadupset her father. “Nan Xing, what are you talking about? Nothing good would ever come out of thatdirty mouth of yours!” she reprimanded.

“I thought you've always wanted to...” I thought you've always wanted to sleep with me. Nan Xingwas about to blurt something inappropriate when he saw Erbao staring at him with her big,rounded eyes.

Then, he walked away to the door to continue the conversation. “I've always wanted to...?" OuyangQing asked.

"You've always wanted to sleep with me, right? If that's the case, I might as well throw myself at you.Aren't you happy now?” Nan Xing had nothing better to do so he teased her. “Shut up!”

"You're the one who called me. If I were to keep my mouth shut, who are you going to conversewith? So, I can't keep quiet.” Nan Xing chuckled. “When are you going to take me out for a meal?”“I'll call you tonight if I'm available,” he replied casually. “You don't work at night. So, why won't youhave time?”

“Just in case some hot chicks ask me out,” Nan Xing said. “You're too much, Nan Xing!” OuyangQing blew her top. “All right, wait for my call.” With that, Nan Xing promptly hung up.

Ouyang Qing was so furious. How dares he hung up on me?

She called him again, but to no avail. When Ouyang Duo was trying to reach Nan Xing, Ouyang Duowas meeting another man in the other room.

The man was none other than his trusted aide, Johnson Trent. He held the same social standing asQiao Zhan did in the Nan family.

The only difference was that Zhang Sheng was a low-key guy, who spent most of his time lurking inthe dark, doing things discreetly. Not many were aware of his presence.

Zhang Sheng was not his original name. When he was sixteen, his family was declared bankrupt. Asa consequence, his parents were forced by the loan sharks to take their own lives due to theirinability to afford the high-interest rates.

After investigating the case for about half a year, he found the culprits and avenged his parents.

At that time, he was about to face a severe sentence, but Ouyang Duo bailed him out. Subsequently,the latter arranged for him to undergo plastic surgery and created a new identity for him. Sincethen, his name was changed to Zhang Sheng, and he had been serving as a loyal side-kick ofOuyang Duo.

“Mr. Ouyang.” That was his usual way of addressing Ouyang Duo.

“Do me a favor tonight.”

“Sure.”

Zhang Sheng would carry out any tasks assigned by Ouyang Duo without any hesitation, regardlessof whether it was legal or illegal.

“Qing will be having dinner with Nan Xing tonight. Your job is to attack them.”

Zhang Sheng kept quiet with his head down.

"As you strike him, say these words—B*stard, how could you prey on your own niece? Do you wantto climb up the social ladder? Dream on!" instructed Ouyang Duo.

“Duly noted,” Zhang Sheng acknowledged.

“Do you understand my intention?” Ouyang Duo asked.

“There's no need for me to know. My duty is to carry out your orders,” Zhang Sheng replied firmly.Ouyang Duo nodded. He was well pleased with Zhang Sheng's attitude.

“Does Ms. Ouyang know about this?"

"Yes, she does. I'll have her set up the appointment at the right place so that it doesn’t pose anydifficulty for you to ambush Nan Xing. Handle it well. Don’t beat him to death nor to a pulp,”Ouyang Duo added.

"Okay," responded Zhang Sheng.

“Remember to leave immediately once the motive is achieved. Don't leave a single trace of clue orany unwanted evidence,” Ouyang Duo reminded sternly.

"Yes, sir”

Thereafter, Ouyang Duo went looking for his daughter.

"Did you manage to ask Nan Xing out?”

“He said he'd dine with me tonight.”

“I've made a reservation for two on the fifth floor at Xiang Jiang Restaurant. Tell them your name,and the waiter will lead you to your table,” apprised Ouyang Duo.

"Why? Is there any hidden agenda, Dad?"

“There sure is. If Nan Xing is faced with any danger, you ought to protect him at all costs even if itmeans getting some minor injuries. It's imperative that you earn his trust so that he can dismiss hisperceptions toward you,” explained Ouyang Duo.

"He doesn’t have any prejudice against me...”

“Have you forgotten what you've done in the past? Are you sure that he's not biased against you?You went all out for his brother but failed miserably. Now, you're going after him. As a man, do youthink he's seriously okay with that?”

Initially, Ouyang Duo wanted to keep all these to himself, but he could not help getting it off hischest.

It was quite awkward for a father to say those things to his own daughter.

Though Qing is smart and talented, she’s too full of herself. Being over self-centered and haughtycould turn people off.

“Dad, how could you say that?” Ouyang Qing felt so embarrassed.

"Whatever it is, you get the idea. Therefore, you must work hard at whitewashing your past andbuild a good reputation before Nan Xing. Things will be smoother once you've gained his trust,”advised Ouyang Duo.

“All right, I got it,” Ouyang Qing replied affirmatively.

At noon, Ning Ran and Dabao sneaked into the hospital through the side gate.

Dabao heaved a long sigh after removing his lipstick and changing into his own clothes.

He could not understand why Erbao enjoyed disguising as him so much. When he did the same, hefelt so exhausted.

“Darling, let's have some porridge. I didn't have enough time to prepare any food. I bought this butit looks good,” urged Ning Ran.

“I don't want to eat anything.”

Erbao lost her appetite completely.

“That won't do. According to the doctor, you need to eat to regain your strength. Otherwise, it'sgoing to take forever for you to recover.”

“I really don't want to eat anything.”

"Have a bite, at least.” Ning Ran’s heart sank seeing what had become of her daughter who used tobe a foodie.

Although she had no appetite, she obeyed her mother and consumed a little bit.

Dabao followed suit in order to encourage his sister and make her feel better.

Right then, Nan Chen arrived from a meeting. He was too worried about Erbao.

Upon confirming that she was safe and well, he felt relieved

“You haven't eaten anything, have you? I'll order delivery.”

Nan Xing yawned and said, “I'm not hungry. I didn't get a good rest last night, so I want to get someshut-eye.”

“There's no one occupying the next ward. I'll get them to change the sheets, then you can rest overthere. I need to take a nap too, for I had insomnia last night,” Nan Chen uttered.

“I bet you're flat out, Chen. Go ahead and get some rest. I'll take care of Erbao.”

“Daddy, Uncle Xing, you both should get some sleep. I'm fine and I am good.”

As she spoke, Erbao waved her arms to show how energetic she was.

However, her pale little face gave her away. That was a telltale sign that she was still physically weak.Right then, the food delivery arrived. Both Nan Xing and Nan Chen headed to the other room tocatch up over a meal.

“I suspect that this incident is related to Ouyang Qing, but I don’t have any proof just yet. Did shecontact you?” Nan Chen asked.

"Yes, she did. She asked when I am going to spend her a meal.”

"Did you say yes?”

“Not yet. I just told her that I'll call her if I'm free.”

“Go and meet up with her. Take note of the questions she asks and tell me later.” Nan Chen seemedto have it all figured out.

"Okay."

“I won't let this slide if Ouyang Qing is really the person who hurt my daughter. I'll make her pay forit.” A malicious intent flashed across Nan Chen's eyes.

“I won't forgive her, either. How evil can one be to lay hands on a child!”

“I can't see through her plans. Don't let your guard down when you see her and be very careful.”“Don’t worry, Chen. I'll be more cautious around her.”
