While Ouyang Qi and Ouyang Qing were still negotiating among themselves, Tang Jing was lying in her residence,
scrolling through her phone.
She initially thought that she could make it to the trending topics, but it turned out otherwise.
Nonetheless, there were many photos and videos of her leaning against a luxurious car. Besides, many netizens
were commenting that she was actually a friend of a wealthy heiress.
Consequently, they concluded that she must be one herself but merely concealing her identity.
Plenty of netizens had wild imaginations, so some even surmised that she was the Ouyang family's illegitimate
daughter, Ouyang Qing's sister. That was why she took the brunt of criticism for the latter.
That was, of course, a load of nonsense, but many believed it.
Tang Jing was not averse to those rumors. In her opinion, it did not matter whatever was circulated on the internet
as long as there was enough attention on her.
In fact, she had even registered for a few accounts and left comments between those of the netizens' to fan the
flames.
Just then, her phone rang with a call from Ouyang Qing.
Answering the call, she greeted, “Qing.”
“I sent you a location. Come over immediately, for I've got something to tell you,” the other woman urged.
“Okay,” Tang Jing agreed without a moment's hesitation.
Half an hour later, Tang Jing arrived at Orchid Club.
Hmm? I don't quite understand why she's always at this club. She told me she has a lot of properties in Flower City,
so why isn't she living at home but in a club?
Nevertheless, it was a high-end club with food and entertainment, so she did not mind meeting there.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReturning the car key to Ouyang Qing, she remarked, “Don't take those rumors on the internet to heart, Qing.”
In response, Ouyang Qing waved a dismissive hand. “Never mind, I'll just consider it bad luck on my part. There's
always that one hurdle in life. Anyway, let's not talk about that.”
Well, all the better if you don't want to talk about it! I don't want to mention that matter anyway, afraid that I might
give the game away if I say too much.
Taking the initiative, Tang Jing asked, “So, what should we do now?”
“I asked you here precisely to help me figure out a solution. How should I turn the tables?” Ouyang Qing looked at
her.
Inwardly, Tang Jing cackled.
This is exactly as I expected! The more passive she is, the more she needs me and trusts me!
“What would you like to do? I'll definitely help you,” she avowed.
“I don't know what to do now. I'm in an extremely passive position now, so I'm really at a loss.” Ouyang Qing
heaved a sigh.
Tang Jing did the same.
“Don't sigh with me. Hurry up and help me out here. If I can't turn the tables, your role might possibly be replaced
as well.”
Ouyang Qing started threatening her again, irritating Tang Jing to no end.
“This is all on Nan Xing! I'm going to make that b*stard's life a living hell!” Ouyang Qing lambasted.
“Actually, if you think of it sometimes, Nan Xing is also part of the Nan family,” Tang Jing interjected out of the blue.
“What's the meaning of this? You're defending him now?”
Ouyang Qing shot to her feet and began berating her again while jabbing a finger at her, “I didn't rear you for you
to bite me, but others!”
Those words were exceedingly caustic, for it was no different from saying that Tang Jing was a dog.
Anger started building within Tang Jing, but she inhaled deeply and pushed her rage down.
“I'm not defending him. I mean, why don't you consider it from a different viewpoint now that things have come to
this?” she clarified calmly.
“What do you mean? Make it clear, please.”
“Nan Xing is also part of the Nan family. While his position isn't comparable to Nan Chen's, he's still one of the heirs.
Now that there's such a video of you both, the netizens' perception of you is indeed atrocious. However, if he
marries you, it'll be mutual love, and all will be well.”
Tang Jing started launching the second step of her plan surreptitiously.
“You want me to marry him? Have you lost your mind? I'll never marry him!” Ouyang Qing screeched.
You don't want to marry him? Even if you do, he might not be willing to marry you!
Aloud, Tang Jing stated, “Actually, he's just as handsome as Nan Chen. While his status is a touch lower, it's
something that can be elevated. Nan Chen didn't have such prestige back then either. He only had it later, no? The
truth is, as long as he can get into Nanshi Corporation and play a bigger role, the status will naturally follow. As long
as you marry him, he will definitely be regarded highly in Nanshi Corporation, considering your family's influence.
Therefore, there is a possibility of him surpassing Nan Chen.”
Ouyang Qing was stunned to hear that, for she had indeed never considered things from that angle.
“He did admit that he was interested in me once, but I don't like him. The person I like is Nan Chen, not him.”
Ouyang Qing remained steadfast.
“As a matter of fact, they're equally good-looking. Besides, he's more approachable and romantic. Feelings can be
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnurtured slowly. Perhaps you'll discover that you actually prefer someone like him after spending time with him, and
it was all a misunderstanding in the past.”
Tang Jing was a highly educated actress, so she knew her boundaries in speech, rendering her words logical and
convincing.
Unable to discern her thoughts, Ouyang Qing merely felt that she was simply a good friend who wanted the best for
her.
“Put that way, it does make some sense. Let me think about it further.” Ouyang Qing wavered.
“I don't think you need to do that. If you marry him, the two of you will certainly trump Nan Chen in Nanshi
Corporation with the combination of his identity and your background. At that time, Nan Chen will probably be
haunted by regret. Don't you think so?” Tang Jing uttered, fixating her gaze on the other woman.
Ouyang Qing said nothing.
Verily, she was faltering. She cast her mind back at Nan Xing's roguish and wicked smile.
Actually, his shameless look when he taunted me was very much riveting. Most importantly, he looks just like Nan
Chen. If I have to settle for the next best thing, he's really quite a decent option.
“But I don't know what he thinks about it all. I'll be mortified if he isn't willing to marry me,” Ouyang Qing remarked.
At once, elation suffused Tang Jing. Yes! Everything is going according to my plan, and it's even smoother sailing
than I expected.
“How about this? I'll meet with him and feel him out first,” Tang Jing proposed. “After that, I'll tell you what he thinks
about you. Then, you won't be mortified.”
“That works. However, don't say that I'm begging him. He had once confessed to me, but I ignored him. Besides, I
was angry at the hotel that day, so I didn't show him much courtesy and even tore into him. If he's vindictive, he'll
probably want nothing to do with me. Thus, you must be careful with your words and make sure that I'm not
embarrassed,” Ouyang Qing ordered.
“Don't worry about that. I won't run my mouth. I'll only feel him out. Furthermore, there's no reason for him not to
like you when you're beautiful and wealthy. He's blessed that you agreed to be with him now. It's his honor! Would
he dare disdain you? I don't think so!”
