Chapter 509 Stroking Ego Ouyang Qing made some small talk and pretended that she cared about Bai Hua. A moment later, she started talking about Ning Ran again. The gist of it was that Ning Ran made her comeback and would resume her role in the movie. She told Bai Hua that Ning Ran would be a famous celebrity.
Bai Huaâs reaction after hearing that was a bit more aggressive than Ouyang Qing expected. She shot up to her feet. âNan Chen must have helped her again, or she couldnât have been released so easily.â
âChen is a kind man. He pities her, but that woman is a schemer. She is using his kindness to her advantage and tries to marry him. That womanâs really arrogant now. She doesnât care about anyone, and she says sheâs the only woman who can call the shots in the family. Laughable, really. Sheâs not even married to Chen yet, but sheâs already styling herself as his wife. Youâre still around, but she doesnât even care about your opinion. That is just preposterous.â
Ouyang Qing was being really specific here. She knew what Bai Huaâs triggers were, and she pushed all the buttons deliberately.
As expected, Bai Hua was furious. âDid that b*tch really say all that?â
âOf course. But donât worry, Aunt. Nobody actually takes her seriously. Sheâs just being full of herself,â
Ouyang Qing responded.
âSheâs doing this on purpose. I have to teach her a lesson, or sheâll get a big head. But Chen keeps siding with her. I just canât take her down. What should I do?â Bai Hua asked.
Ouyang Qing had an idea to go, but she couldnât say it out right away. Instead, she sighed. âForget it. If Chen wants to marry her, then who am I to object? She has his kids, and thatâs her advantage. If I have Chenâs children⦠Oh, what am I saying? Thatâs impossible.â
Ouyang Qing was feeling embarrassed herself.
Bai Hua thought about it for a while. âHmm, itâs not impossible, though. Ding Mi only got pregnant by accident. If she can create an accident, then you can too.â
Ah, youâre smart, you old hag. You get what Iâm trying to say. Good. I donât have to bring that stupid idea up myself. âImpossible. Chen doesnât like me.â Ouyang Qing blushed.
âYouâre a beautiful girl. Of course, he likes you. Heâs just beguiled by that wench. Thatâs why he doesnât realize that he actually likes you. Men love women. Well, most of them do. Nan Chenâs also a man. If you have an opportunity, you can get pregnant with his kid too. If that woman can do it, so can you.â
Bai Hua wasnât stupid either. She could see that Ouyang Qing had that kind of idea, but the latter was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so Bai Hua had to voice it out.
âOh, stop it, Aunt. youâre embarrassing me.â Ouyang Qing kept up with her act.
âYou donât have to. Youâre a proper lady. You canât lose to an actress like her. Iâll make the arrangements, but youâll have to come up with an idea too. Youâre younger and smarter than I am. We need a perfect plan,â Bai Hua said.
All right. Itâs time now. I canât keep this act up, or itâll look too fake. âI really like Chen, and I can do anything for him,â Ouyang Qing said.
âThen thatâs settled. Iâm sure heâll come to understand you. Tell me. Whatâs the plan?â
âMy friend told me about this drugâ¦â Ouyang Qing blushed again.
Bai Hua understood right away. âCan you get that drug then?â
âI can ask my friend to do it for me, butâ¦â
âDonât worry about it. Iâll handle the rest. If he wants to blame anyone, Iâll take one for the team. And Iâm sure heâll be happy that a gorgeous lady like you are sacrificing for him.â
Ouyang Qing felt relieved after Bai Hua gave her a guarantee, but she had to pretend to be worried.
âAunt, is this really a good idea? I donât think we should go on with this.â
âItâs fine. Leave it to me. As long as you sleep with Nan Chen, heâll be forced to marry you. That woman will be nothing then. Trash like her is never worthy of my son,â Bai Hua cursed.
âBut if Chen gets mad because of this, Iââ
âDonât worry about it. Iâll tell him I came up with the idea. He has no right to be angry at that point. After all, he would have slept with you already. And heâs not an irresponsible man. Once you sleep with him, Nan Zhiyuan and I will pressure him into marrying you. We have to do this right away.â
âDonât worry, Aunt. If this works, my father and I will persuade him to let Mr. Nan back into the company. Heâs a part of the Nan family, and heâs experienced. Itâs natural that he should contribute to the company,â Ouyang Qing said.
That was the thing Bai Hua wanted the most at the moment. When she came back, she thought she could resume her life as a wealthy lady, but when she came back, the city had changed vastly.
She was ostracized, and the socialites didnât care about her because of one reason. Everyone knew that Nan Zhiyuan and her were disliked by the Nan family. They were only a part of the Nan family in name only.
Because of that, Nan Zhiyuan and her were not respected, for they were not significant. Naturally, Bai Hua didnât want to live the rest of her life that way. She wanted to have more power, for an ordinary life was what she hated.
She wanted to make a comeback and become deeply respected like she used to. She wanted to prove that she was still holding all the power in the Nan family, and now Ouyang Qing was giving her that chance. Naturally, she was grateful for that.
âZhiyuan had told me that heâs still young and wants to contribute to the family. But the Old Master refuses to give him any chance, so we can only waste our time here. Itâs frustrating. If he gets to work in the company again, Zhiyuan will be over the moon, and Iâm more than happy to see that.â
âDonât worry. Once I sleep with Chen, my father and I will persuade him.â
Ouyang Qing was making it clear. Once they became family, there would be more partnerships between them, and the Ouyang family could influence the Nan family a lot. The Ouyang family was Ouyang Qingâs backer, and they would become Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuanâs support as well. If the marriage went well, of course.
They would install Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan in the center of the Nan family so they could regain their former glory. And thatâs something that woman canât do. Only Ouyang Qing can do it, and thatâs why she must marry Nan Chen.
I must help her get her hands on Nan Chen. Only someone whom I can control will listen to me. If I do this, Iâll have her dirt too. She wonât dare to disobey me.
And so, the wretched women came to an agreement.
