Chapter 501: Chapter 508

Chapter 508 Hope But she’s really forcing my hand now. I have to calm her down. If she stops working with me, it’s going to be a big hassle. She has the resources, and she can swap me out anytime she wants. I can’t lose her support. At least for now, I can’t.

Tang Jing said, “You’re panicking, and that’s why you fail to see the most important part of this matter.”

Ouyang Qing hissed, “What are you talking about? Are you saying I’m stupid?”

“Calm down,” Tang Jing answered as soothingly as possible so Ouyang Qing could chill out. “Let me finish, all right?”

“Fine. What’s the plan?”

“I don’t have one, but you do,” Tang Jing replied.

“What are you talking about? If I had a plan, I wouldn’t have asked you out today. Are you mocking me?” Ouyang Qing snapped.

“I am not. I have no need to mock you.”

“Then what are you trying to say? What do you mean I have a plan?”

“Ah, and that is the key. The whole reason Ding Mi has Mr. Chen’s support is that she gave birth to his kids. If you have Mr. Chen’s kids as well, who do you think will have an edge in this competition? You, of course. You’re the daughter of an influential family, but she’s just a no-name actress. She can’t hold a candle to you.”

Ouyang Qing got even madder at Tang Jing. “You could have said nothing, and it wouldn’t have changed anything. I don’t have his kid.”

“But you can.” Tang Jing shot her a meaningful glance.

“What do you mean?”

“You can have his kid. Even if you don’t, he won’t leave you for dead if you just sleep with him.”

Ouyang Qing kept quiet. She was trying to figure out what Tang Jing was saying. “All right. I’m interested. Go on.”

“You are young and beautiful. I’m sure Sir Chen won’t refuse you.” Tang Jing smiled.

“No. You don’t know him. He’s not that kind of man.” Ouyang Qing thought that was a good idea, but when she thought about how Nan Chen responded to her every time, she lost her confidence.

She did drop a lot of hints, but Nan Chen pretended that he didn’t get it, so she couldn’t take the next step.

“Sir Chen is a human, and he’s a man.” Tang Jing was practically spelling out her plan at that point.

“No. He’s not just any human. You don’t get it.”

“Of course, he’s not just any human, but as long as you create an opportunity, I think you can make it work in your favor. As long as you get to sleep with him, Ding Mi is nothing. But if you’re still worried, you can go a mile further to make sure the plan works,” Tang Jing replied.

“What do you mean ‘a mile further’?” Ouyang Qing was surprised, but she was also interested.

“Well, since Sir Chen won’t fall for you that easily, then you’ll have to be a bit calculative. As long as you get him on your bed, he won’t leave you for dead even if you guys don’t get intimate. Just remember to take photos,” Tang Jing said.

Ouyang Qing said nothing, as she needed time to think about that suggestion. “You’re saying I should get him into my room and take photos of that?”

“Exactly.” Tang Jing nodded.

“No. That’s a stupid idea. He won’t fall for it. If I trick him and someone catches him on camera, he’s going to dislike me even more. That plan won’t fly.”

“Ah, but what if he’s drunk?” Tang Jing asked again.

“He’s smart with his alcohol consumption. It’s nearly impossible for him to get drunk. Even if he does get drunk, he probably won’t do anything to me. I know him. This plan won’t work. I would have done that if it could. Why would I need you to suggest that to me now?”

“I still think that’s a feasible plan. If his drink is spiked, he can and will get drunk. The black market is filled with drugs like that. If you’re willing to spend, you’ll get whatever you want,” Tang Jing said.

That last part got Ouyang Qing all excited. She wants me to spike his drink? Now that’s an idea I’ve never even bothered to explore before. I mean, I know date rape drugs exist, but Nan Chen is no ordinary man. It’s hard to trick him. Even if he did, he would never forgive me if he knew that I was behind it.

She didn’t even dare to think about that idea, for getting on Nan Chen’s bad side would mean disaster for her. However, she started getting some ideas after Tang Jing brought it up again.

Hmm, but what if it does work? Ding Mi will become a nobody again. And I don’t have to spike his drink myself. I can hire someone to do it for me.

If I’m not the one who spikes his drink, then that means I’m also the victim. Nan Chen won’t blame me.

In fact, he’d feel guilty and love me more. That’d be perfect!

Ouyang Qing had a eureka moment, and she saw the door of possibilities opening to her again. Her anger and resentment were washed away, replaced by determination, and she stood up. “You have a point.”

Tang Jing said, “It might be hard for anyone else to pull this off, but I don’t think it’ll be too difficult for you. I think you can do it since Ding Mi is vastly inferior to you. She has no right to even be in the same ring as you are. But Sir Chen is no ordinary man either, so be careful when you’re doing this.”

“Don’t worry about it. I can get someone to help me out. If this works out, I’ll make sure to kick Ding Mi out of the team and let you take her role. You’ll be a big star.”

Tang Jing didn’t bother with that ‘promise.’ She didn’t care about what Ouyang Qing would give her.

She was her own woman, and she could get what she wanted with her own hands. “I’ll be going now.

Good luck.” Tang Jing smiled.

“Fine, fine. If this works, you’re in for a treat.” Ouyang Qing waved her away.

When Tang Jing turned around, cruelty flashed within her eyes.

Later in the day, Ouyang Qing came to Bai Hua’s residence in Red Maple City. The latter was allowed to enter the Nan residence, but she wasn’t allowed to stay there permanently, so she spent most of her time living in the villa Ouyang Qing gave her.

Since she didn’t want to live under the prying eyes of Old Master Nan, living outside gave her all the freedom she wanted. However, after she came back, she couldn’t get back into Flower City’s socialite circle no matter how hard she tried, which made her feel down.

After all, she had left for a long time, so some of her old friends’ families had declined. They were no longer on the same level as she was, so there was no need to stay in touch. On the other hand, some climbed the ladder, and they scoffed at Bai Hua, who was exiled by the Nan family.

She might be a part of the Nan family, and her son might be the head of the family, but that didn’t mean she would be respected. Everyone respected Nan Chen and his wife, but they wouldn’t necessarily show the same respect for a woman exiled by her family.

After all, they knew that her status in the family was unbelievably low after being chased out.

She was touched that Ouyang Qing would come to see her. She had spent the last two days doing nothing in the villa, and she was on the verge of going mad.
