At the Commoner Residence, Nan Zhengde flew into a rage after the bodyguard informed him about Erbao being hospitalized. In his rage, he smashed a porcelain cup into smithereens.
“Useless trash! How dare you let my great-granddaughter get hospitalized?”
As the bodyguard had never seen Nan Zhengde so enraged, he was stunned and was at a loss for what to do.
Feng Wan quickly asked, “How is Erbao doing now? Is her condition severe?”
“No. The doctor said that she’s fine,” replied the bodyguard.
“I shouldn’t have let the kids leave with that girl from the Ouyang family. I knew from the start that she’s an uncultured and uncivilized person, yet I still allowed her to bring the kids out to play. This is a complete mistake!” spat Nan Zhengde resentfully.
“Well, it’s your mistake. I already said that we shouldn’t let the kids leave with Ouyang Qing, but you insisted on agreeing. Lo and behold, something bad happened,” reprimanded Feng Wan.
“But the kids made an agreement with her! I thought that the kids would be too bored at home without anyone to play with them, so I agreed to let Ouyang Qing bring them out. How would I know that something like this would happen? Chai Hua, prepare the car. I’m going to the hospital!” instructed Nan Zhengde.
“Why are you in such a rush, old man? He already said that the child’s fine. Why are you still going to the hospital?” Feng Wan quickly stopped him.
“I’m still worried. I need to visit Erbao and see how my dear great-granddaughter is doing.”
“He already said that she’s fine! You don’t venture out that often anyway. If someone suddenly spots you at the hospital, there’ll be a rumor saying that something bad happened to the Nan family. Just stay here obediently. After the child is discharged, we can see how she’s doing when she visits us. What’s an old man like you getting so anxious about? Seriously!” Feng Wan persuaded him.
After listening to Feng Wan’s words, Nan Zhengde felt that what she said made sense.
“Fine, I’m going to call Nan Chen and ask him about the situation then.”
When Nan Zhengde called Nan Chen, the latter was preparing to leave the hospital with the kids.
The doctor said that Erbao simply needed to rest at home and that there was no need for her to stay at the hospital.
Seeing that children always found it tormenting to be stuck in the hospital, Nan Chen took the doctor’s suggestion.
“It’s a call from Great-Grandpa. He must’ve heard that you’re ill. Talk to him yourself.” Nan Chen passed the phone to Erbao.
“Great-Grandpa…”
“My dear great-granddaughter, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Thank you, Great-Grandpa. We’ve left the hospital.”
“Already? Tell your Daddy to bring you over. I want to take a look at you.”
“Okay! I want to see you too, Great-Grandpa. I miss you.”
My, my! Her words are as sweet as honey.
When they reached the entrance, they saw Nan Xing dashing in rapidly.
Having heard the news, he had rushed over to visit Erbao.
“How’s Erbao? Is she alright?”
“I’m fine,” interrupted Erbao.
“Come here and give me a hug. Oh, my poor darling! What happened to you?” Nan Xing reached his arms out to carry Erbao.
“You can’t carry her well. Forget it.” Nan Chen refused.
This hurt Nan Xing. “What do you mean I can’t carry her well? It’s not like I’ll drop her on the floor!”
“Chen, you’re leaving the hospital?” Just then, Ouyang Qing walked over. Clearly, she had no intention of giving up at all.
“Stop her from following us. However, don’t offend her.” Nan Chen instructed Nan Xing softly.
“Huh?”
“Aren’t you very skilled at dealing with women?” replied Nan Chen.
“Oh.”
Nan Xing grunted a response before approaching Ouyang Qing. “Hey, aren’t you Ms. Ouyang? You’re getting prettier and prettier. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Ouyang Qing could already differentiate between Nan Xing and Nan Chen, especially with Nan Chen standing right in front of her.
As her target was Nan Chen, she was not too interested in Nan Xing.
The reason was simple. Although both looked almost identical, their capabilities were different.
Most importantly, Nan Chen wielded the greatest authority in the Nanshi Corporation, not Nan Xing.
Ouyang Qing did not only want to marry a handsome man.
She had loads of handsome pursuers, but none of them was to her liking.
The man she desired to marry had to stand at the top, wielding absolute power and authority.
“Hello, Nan Xing. Nice to meet you.” Ouyang Qing nodded politely, but her gaze was still fixated on Nan Chen.
Just then, the Nan family’s car arrived. The driver opened the door and Nan Chen was about to enter the car.
More frustratingly, there was only one car.
This meant that Ning Ran would also get into the same car and she would be able to sit together with Nan Chen.
Damn it! Who is she to sit in the same car as Nan Chen?
Shouldn’t I be the one sitting in the car?
“Please excuse me. I have something to say to Chen.” Brushing past Nan Xing, Ouyang Qing tried to catch up to Nan Chen.
However, her attempt was futile when Nan Xing agilely blocked her way again.
After all, he had received instructions from his elder brother to stop her from going over.
“What now?” Ouyang Qing was starting to get a little annoyed.
“Since we have the pleasure of running into each other, why don’t we have a meal together? My treat, of course. Would you honor me with your presence, Ms. Ouyang?” suggested Nan Xing.
“No thanks. I have plans. Let’s eat another day,” rejected Ouyang Qing.
This made Nan Xing a little upset. Are you looking down on me?
You act so humbly in front of my brother, yet when you’re talking to me, you’re acting all cold and distant?
“Alright then. Since you’re unwilling, I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Nan Xing stole a glimpse at Nan Chen’s car and realized that it had already driven away. Since his mission was fulfilled, he could leave now.
“Wait a moment.”
A smart girl like Ouyang Qing could definitely tell that Nan Xing was unhappy.
Although Nan Xing did not wield as much power as Nan Chen, he was still a member of the Nan family.
Furthermore, as he was Nan Chen’s brother, he was someone whom Nan Chen cared a lot for.
If Ouyang Qing wanted to marry into the Nan family, she mustn’t offend him.
Since Nan Chen had already left and she could not catch up with him anymore, she decided to compromise and dine with the Nan family’s 4th Young Master instead.
It was beneficial to her to get closer to him as well.
“Since you seem to be in high spirits, It would be my pleasure to accompany you, Young Master Xing. Let it be my treat.”
Shedding her initial coldness, she flashed Nan Xing a bright smile.
Regardless of what kind of person she was, it was an undeniable fact that she was a beauty.
Initially, Nan Xing felt angry. However, upon seeing her innocent smile, the anger within him dissipated.
“No, no. It’s my treat. What would you like to eat, Ms. Ouyang?” asked Nan Xing.
“Why don’t we ask Chen to come too? I want to apologize to them,” suggested Ouyang Qing.
“Forget it. Let’s not bother them. As outsiders, we shouldn’t disturb such a harmonious family. It’s been a long time since my brother and sister-in-law spent time together. Let them have some time alone.”
Having guessed what Ouyang Qing was intending to, Nan Xing deliberately chose the words which would hurt her the most.
Ouyang Qing felt so attacked that she could barely react in time.
Family? Sister-in-law? What the hell is he talking about? What utter nonsense! How is that woman worthy enough to be with Nan Chen?
Nan Chen is mine!
