Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

“Wait.”

However, it seemed like this time, Ding Fei really did have something with her.

She carefully opened her bag and took out an envelope to pass it to Ning Ran.

Ning Ran reached out for it, but Ding Fei soon retracted her hand.

“You have to promise to help me.”

“I told you I'll only consider accepting your request after I find the USB with your clue.”

“But you haven't even asked me what my request is, so how are you going to help me?”

“Frankly, I don't want to help you at all. It doesn't matter what you say because I won't do it. So, if you want me to

help you, you have to wait until your clue proves to be useful before I start considering your request.”

Ning Ran was insistent, and there was nothing Ding Fei could say to change her mind. Hence, Ding Fei had no

choice but to hand the envelope to Ning Ran.

When Ning Ran opened it, she realized a stack of photos was in it.

The photos must have been taken by a cell phone a few years ago, for the quality of the photos was not great, but

she could still make out what was in the photos.

In the photos was a middle-aged woman dressed averagely. She was not dressed to the nines, but she was not

disheveled either.

Ning Ran stared at her for a while, feeling a sense of familiarity. She presumed that she had seen the middle-aged

woman somewhere before.

Upon combing through her memories, Ning Ran realized the woman must be one of her mother's friends. She

somewhat recalled having a meal with the woman back when her mother brought her out to play.

Still, Ning Ran could not remember what the woman's name was. After all, Ning Ran had been but a young child at

that time, and the woman didn't meet up often with her mother. Clearly, her mother and that woman weren't very

close.

“Do you know who she is?” Ding Fei asked.

“I don't, but do you?”

“I don't either. But she came to your mother's ward several times when your mother was hospitalized, and they

always talked for a long time. I once eavesdropped on them from outside, and I think I heard your mother passing

something to her. Your mother asked her to keep it safe. Later on, my mother and I tried to look for her, but our

efforts were in vain. I'm guessing that your mother probably gave her that USB,” Ding Fei uttered.

While Ding Fei spoke, Ning Ran kept a close eye on her face, trying to figure out whether or not Ding Fei was lying

again.

“You don't need to look at me like this. I'm telling the truth this time. As long as you find this person, you'll have a

clue about the whereabouts of the USB. Now, isn't it your turn to listen to the details of my request?”

“I won't. I'm not interested,” Ning Ran declined instantly.

“This is something beneficial for you. You can reap a massive profit from this.”

“We'll talk again if your clue turns out to be useful. Bye.”

“Ning Ran, listen to me—”

Alas, Ning Ran did not. She left right away.

On her way back, Ning Ran switched on the lights in the car and studied the photos again, making sure that she had

really seen the woman before.

“Madam, I'll look into it. We'll find out soon,” said Qiao Zhan, who was driving.

“Good. I was about to ask for your help. I'll leave this to you, then.”

“Keep these photos. I'll use my phone to take photos of them and ask my friend to look into them.”

“Okay, thank you.”

The next afternoon, Ning Ran dolled herself up before going to Nanshi Corporation's headquarters with the two

children.

Ning Ran rarely went there, for that was Nan Chen's office, and she did not want to disturb Nan Chen when he was

working.

However, it was not her decision to go there that day. Nan Chen was the one who asked her to bring the children

there and wait for him to finish work. Then, they would head to Commoner Residence for a meal.

Both Ning Ran and Dabao were quietly waiting in Nan Chen's office. Erbao, on the other hand, had run off.

Even though Ning Ran had told her not to wander everywhere and disturb others, Erbao was not one to sit still.

Ning Ran had only been distracted for a minute, and Erbao was already gone from the office.

Furthermore, due to Erbao's adorable looks, she would garner attention wherever she went. Chaos erupted in every

department she went to.

A group of employees would crowd around her, wanting to talk to her.

Erbao was a chatterbox and had a friendly nature, so she enjoyed chatting with them.

Hence, in no time, all the employees gifted Erbao their chocolates and tasty snacks in exchange for her charming

smile.

Ning Ran watched as Erbao continued bringing snacks back to the office and piling them up on the desk before she

finally spoke up. “How many things did you trick them into giving you? Can you even finish them all?”

Erbao looked at Ning Ran with wide, dark eyes, and muttered innocently, “I didn't trick them. They gave them to me

of their own accord.”

“Still, you can't just take them. It's as if you were robbing them!” Ning Ran chided.

“They insisted! They kept persuading me to take the snacks even though I rejected them. They even claimed I

rejected them because I disliked the snacks...” Erbao mumbled with her face scrunched up in aggrievement.

Ning Ran was aware that the employees were genuinely fond of Erbao, and it was only natural they would want to

pamper the little girl and curry favor with her when they knew Erbao was their employer's precious little princess.

Therefore, even if Erbao were to ask for something more expensive, they would still give it to her, let alone snacks.

“Come here,” Ning Ran said, beckoning to Erbao.

At that, Erbao trudged over, but she stopped when she was a meter away from Ning Ran. Then, she warily studied

her mother, wondering if her mother was about to punish her.

“Those nice people work a tough job, so they need these snacks to revitalize themselves. What will they eat if you

take their snacks? They were polite to you, but you weren't being very polite to them. If you take everything they

offer you, the next time they see you, they'll think that you're here for more. Will they still want to play with you

after that? Erbao, if you take, you must learn to give too. Otherwise, people won't like you. Do you understand?”

Erbao could only grasp half of what her mother said, but she answered, “Mommy, I'll give these snacks back to

them, then.”

“No, you've already taken them, so let's not give them back. Since they've given you snacks, why don't you treat

them to coffee? You'll use your pocket money to buy them coffee now. Can you do that?”

“Of course,” Erbao easily replied.

“Okay, then I'll order some coffee for them, but I'll be spending your pocket money. Is that okay with you?”

“Yup.” Even though Erbao was a glutton, she was a generous person. After all, she was Nan Chen's daughter.

Half an hour later, Nan Chen came out of the meeting room to hear his employees discussing something.

“Look at how generous she is. She's treating us to the best coffee on this street. She's the perfect example of a

cultured girl from a wealthy family.”

“Of course. She's the daughter of a wealthy family. How can she possibly buy cheap drinks for us?”

After hearing that, Nan Chen glanced at Jiang Zhe and asked him what was going on.

“Little Miss has treated our coworkers to coffee, so they're all praising Little Miss' generosity,” Jiang Zhe explained.

When Nan Chen returned to his office, Erbao happily threw herself at her father and cried out, “Daddy, you're done

with your meeting!”

The first thing Nan Chen noticed was the pile of snacks on the desk. “These are...”

“These are given to me by those nice employees! In return, I treated them to coffee with my pocket money!” Erbao

proudly said.

“You're so sweet. Why didn't you treat me to coffee too?” Nan Chen asked as he lifted Erbao into his arms.

“Daddy, you have more money than me, so I don't need to treat you to coffee.” Erbao giggled.

“You can't take people's things next time, all right? It's not right,” said Nan Chen solemnly.

“Got it. Mommy has talked to me about this. I won't do this again,” Erbao obediently answered.

“Okay. Then let's go and have a meal with Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma now.”
