At night, in the Red Star Nursing Home.
After Ouyang Qing alighted from the car, she was stopped by the security guards guarding the entrance at the Qiao
Zhan’s instructions when she was about to enter the nursing home.
“What are you doing? Don’t you know who I am?” Ouyang Qing berated them.
“We are under our captain’s instructions not to let anyone in,” said a security guard in black.
“How dare Qiao Zhan stop me from entering? Chen sent me here to deliver soup for Auntie.” Ouyang Qing lifted
the thermal box in her hand.
The two security guards exchanged glances with each other.
“Then please hold on. I will ask our captain first.” A security guard took out his phone.
“How dare you! Who is Qiao Zhan to stop me! Auntie is not a criminal. What rights do you have to lock her up?”
Ouyang Qing lashed out at them.
“We are only...”
“Let her in. My son has sent her here. How dare you stop her. I will make sure the both of you will be jobless by
tomorrow!” Bai Hua bellowed from within the home.
The two security guards had no choice but to let Ouyang Qing in.
“Auntie, it’s so great to see you again.” Ouyang Qing greeted, hugging Bai Hua with fake enthusiasm.
“Ah, Qing is prettier than before. I’m so glad to see you,” said Bai Hua, feigning enthusiasm too.
Ouyang Qing swept her gaze across the room and realized that Nan Chen was not here. Her eyes clouded with
disappointment.
“Is Nan Chen not here yet?”
“Not yet. He said he’s still busy, so maybe he’ll drop by later.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I guess he won’t come. He’s infatuated with that woman.”
“Woman? What woman?”
“Auntie, don’t you know that Nan Chen is infatuated with a woman now?”
“Are you referring to the actress with the surname of ‘Luo’?”
“No. She’s old news. There’s another woman now.”
“Has Chen found a new girlfriend again?”
“I don’t think she’s his girlfriend. She acts in one of the television dramas he sponsors. I’ve heard that that woman
and Nan Chen are very close, and are always together nowadays.”
Ouyang Qing had just started to investigate Ning Ran, so she was not sure about her status.
It was not a difficult feat for her to check on someone’s background, but she dared not do it openly for fear of
incurring Nan Chen’s wrath.
Furthermore, Ning Ran and Nan Chen seldom appeared together publicly, so Ouyang Qing remained uncertain
about Ning Ran’s current status.
However, she realized Nan Chen had not returned home for the last few days, and had stayed overnight at the villa
in the Red Maple City instead. Only then did she realize the severity of the matter.
Thus, she had investigated the cast secretly and only came to understand this so far.
Coincidentally, Bai Hua returned now, so Ouyang Qing took the opportunity to spill the beans.
“How close are they?” Bai Hua asked.
“It seems like they have already spent the night together.”
Ouyang Qing bristled in anger, feeling sick to her stomach just thinking about it.
Bai Hua smiled, “Chen is a grown man. Isn’t it normal for him to spend the night with a woman?”
“But that woman has a humble background with a bad reputation. She’s an indecent woman who has had several
scandalous rumors with different men!” Ouyang Qing ranted on.
“Oh? Isn’t Chen very arrogant? Why would he be with such a woman then?” Bai Hua asked in disbelief.
“She’s cheap and must have resorted to some dirty tricks to infatuate Chen. Chen is always with her nowadays. She
probably won’t even let him visit you if she knows about your return!”
“What do I have to do with the matter?”
“Because you are Chen’s mother! If you are to know of her existence, surely you won’t allow Chen to be with her, a
lowly woman with a bad reputation?”
“Of course! My son is the best among all men. How can he be with any random actress! He can fool around, but
there’s no way he will be allowed to marry her!” Bai Hua nodded.
“That woman must have known Auntie would think that way. I bet she will find ways to sow discord between you
and Chen and cause him to drift apart from you. In this way. Auntie won’t be able to interfere in her relationship
with Chen.”
Then I can hang around Chen like I am used to and get what I want eventually.
Beneath Ouyang Qing’s innocent facade lay a scheming mind.
She was formidable enough to cause a conflict between two strangers who had not met each other before.
Bai Hua vaguely felt Ouyang Qing was making use of her, but she did not mind.
Both of them needed each other.
If Nan Chen marries Ouyang Qing and with her support, I would have secured the backing of the prominent Ouyang
family!
For now, Bai Hua herself wasn’t too sure how it would benefit her to have the Ouyang family’s support. But at least
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthere is a lot of room for imagination.
At this moment, Bai Hua was agreeable to be in the same camp as Ouyang Qing, provided that the enemy was not
anyone from the Nan family.
Between them existed a strategic alliance.
Thus, Bai Hua expressed indignation upon hearing Ouyang Qing’s words, “This woman is so sinister! What is her
name?”
“I hear her name is Ding Mi. Her methods must be effective if she can bewitch such a clever person like Chen. I’m
afraid Chen will only listen to her, leaving you in a precarious situation if you don’t interfere now.”
“It’s maddening. So it is because of her that my son has not visited me so far. Rest assured, I will not allow her to be
with my son. However, I do need more information about her. It would be good if I have all the details. Though I
have left Flower City for many years, my friends are still here. Don’t worry, I can make the woman disappear
easily,” said Bai Hua confidently.
Ouyang Qing was delighted, as she had not expected to convince Bai Hua with merely a few words.
“Auntie, I have said all this for your own good. Your situation is precarious enough without this woman giving you
more trouble. So she must not stay by Chen’s side any longer. You must settle this problem as soon as possible,”
said Ouyang Qing with a straight face.
Bai Hua stood and took a few steps forward.
She had kept herself in good shape. For a woman over 50 years old, her legs remained slender and straight. There
was not an extra ounce on her waist; just like a young woman. Coupled with her good looks, no one would imagine
she was already at the age of a grandmother.
Even Ouyang Qing could not help but praise her sincerely, “Auntie, if you are to stand beside Chen, no one would
believe you’re his mother. They would assume you’re his sister for sure!”
“You are such a sweet talker. Don’t worry. I know how you feel towards Chen, and will bear in mind what you have
done for us. I will not allow that woman, Ding Mi, to contaminate Chen. She’s not worthy of him.”
