My Wife Is a Superstar -
Chapter 88
Nan household, Commoner Residence.
Nan Xing paced around the living room anxiously, waiting for his grandpa to come out.
Finally, after finishing a set of Tai Chi in the backyard, Nan Zhengde came out slowly.
No one was allowed to interrupt whenever the old man exercised in the morning and evening,because it is said that sudden interruption will affect the Qi.
“Grandpa, you're finally done! I've waited for so long!” Nan Xing whined.
But Nan Zhengde kept looking behind Nan Xing and then outside the door.
“Grandpa, what are you looking at?"
“Where are my great-grandchildren?” The old man asked with a frown.
“They didn't come!”
"Why did you come if they didn’t?” The old man asked.
Nan Xing nearly fainted. Has he become that unimportant?
“Grandpa, I've been away from Flower City for more than six months during my time in Africa! Don'tyou miss me at all?” Nan Xing asked unhappily.
“No, I didn't. You've always been causing a lot of trouble like a monkey in Flower City. Things wereso peaceful after you left.”
A servant handed Nan Zhengde a towel. He wiped his hands with it gently and got ready to havesome tea.
“I get it, you all hate me. You all treat me like an inexperienced child!” Nan Xing said
"Are you not?” Nan Zhengde asked.
“I......" Nan Xing had nothing to respond with.
Nan Zhengde smiled and gently sipped on his tea, “So, did you need anything from me?”
Without waiting for Nan Xing to speak, the old man continued, “Let me guess...... If it wassomething ordinary, you could've just went to your brother for help. You wouldn't need to get meinvolved. So, if you're coming to me, then it must be something your brother doesn't agree with. Gohome, we're done here.” The old man waved his hand.
"Huh?" Nan Xing was shocked, and his jaw felt like it was about to fall off.
“If it's something your brother doesn't agree with, I won't either. Go on, leave.” The old man wavedhis hand again.
“Grandpa! You're just like him! You won't even hear me out!” Nan Xing shouted angrily.
“Your brother is a sensible man. If he doesn't agree with something, he must've had his reasons.Coming to me for help won't work, because I won't agree with it either.” Nan Zhengde said.
“I know my brother is your favorite, but I'm family too! You can at least listen to what I have to saybefore you make a decision, right?” Nan Xing was getting anxious.
Nan Zhengde took another sip of his tea, “Alright, go on then. But be warned, the probability of meagreeing is very little.”
Nan Xing let out a sigh of relief. At least he had a chance to talk now.
"Have a seat, grandpa. I had prepared some gifts for you and grandma before I came back fromAfrica, but I had forgotten them as I came home in a hurry.”
Better get grandpa in a good mood first. If he's happy, it'll be easier to coax him into it.
"Oh? What did you bring home from Africa? A lion? A rattlesnake?”
"Of course not! I brought a diamond!”
“Diamond?”
"Yes, a huge diamond! I was planning to give it to Ding Mi as a gift, but she didn't want it......"
“So now you're giving it to me because she didn't want it? Then I wouldn't want it either! Whatwould I do with it?"
Nan Xing wondered, why would I say that? My IQ really is lower than my brother's.
“No, I didn't mean it like that! Listen to me, grandpa. I have a son and daughter now, and they'rereally adorable and super smart! They're like a living treasure! So, I was thinking of bringing theminto our household......"
"Of course you can!” The old man stated before Nan Xing could finish.
Bringing back the great-grandchildren was a great thing, so of course he'd say yes.
“But my brother doesn't agree to it! Grandpa, you have to do the thinking for him!" Nan Xing saidbitterly.
“That can't be right. Chen mentioned this to me, but he didn't say he disagreed to it. Of course thedescendants of the Nan family must return to it! They can't just be left to roam around outside likethat!” The old man said.
"Yes, I think so too! But my brother doesn't agree to it, that's why I'm asking you for help.” Nan Xingsaid.
"Why doesn't Chen agree?” The old man found it strange as well.
“He wouldn't tell me, so I don’t know why he wouldn't agree to it either!” Nan Xing said bitterly.“I'll call him and ask him.” The old man said.
“Don’t call him yet, grandpa. We must reach a mutual agreement on this matter first. Tell me, do yousupport my decision to bring the kids back?”
"Of course I do, those are my great-grandchildren, after all!” Nan Zhengde said.
“That's fine, then. There is no need to ask my brother's opinion anymore. We'll just settle this matterourselves.”
“Settle what?”
“I'm planning to organize a wedding and marry Ding Mi. It's going to be a grand one, so the outsideworld will know how much I love her.”
“Ding Mi?”
"Oh, that's the mother of the child.”
Nan Zhengde was starting to understand the situation now.
“So, Chen objects you marrying that woman?"
“That's right.”
“Then Chen must have his reasons for it. The children belong to the Nan family, so we'll definitelytake them in. As for the woman, we really have to think it through. This woman was pregnant withyour child and yet never came back to us for so many years. And now she suddenly appears out ofnowhere, so that really makes people suspect her motives. Your brother may be strict, but he’s notcruel. He must've had his reasons for not wanting her in our family.” Nan Zhengde said.
"Why do you both say the same thing? What reasons could he possibly have? She's my woman, andthose are my kids! Why can't I marry her? His girlfriend, named Fei or something... she’s just hispawn to profit out of! But he’s supporting her anyway! Why is it that he can do whatever he wants,but I can't?”
Nan Xing was getting anxious and raised his volume, but it was still within an acceptable range.“Your brother knows what he’s doing. I trust his decisions.” The old man was rather calm.
"So you won't support me either? Is that it?” Nan Xing asked.
“I'll have to discuss this matter with your brother first. I can't promise you anything at the moment.We will definitely bring the children back and raise them ourselves. As for the mother, we can giveher money as compensation for all those years that she’s raised them. You don't have to hold backon the amount either, as long as it isn't ridiculously huge. As for marrying into our family, however...We really have to give it careful consideration.” The old man waved his hand after he finished,motioning for Nan Xing to leave.
Nan Xing suddenly felt that the people in the Nan family were really heartless.
Ding Mi is so pretty, and worked hard to raise the kids all by herself. Who were they to doubt hercharacter?
Besides, Ding Mi might not even agree to their arrangement!
“I get it now; you're just like my brother! You think Ding Mi“s unworthy of entering our familybecause she's just an actress, don't you?” Nan Xing said angrily.
“We don't care about her background. What matters most is her character.”
“Liar! I know you won't let me marry her because she wasn't born into a well-established family!Brother's girlfriend is an actress too! I'm waiting to see what you'll all say when he marries her!” NanXing left angrily after saying that.
The young master was heartbroken.
