Chapter 522: Chapter 529

Chapter 529 A Trap For Uncle Xing On the way back, Tang Jing could not stop thinking about Ouyang Qing’s words.

That woman was right. If Ning Ran got to act alongside that handsome award-winning actor, Huang Zichao, her career in the entertainment industry would definitely reach new heights.

Before this, she had managed to ride on Zheng Lunlun’s popularity for the previous film, and currently, it was Huang Zichao. Tang Jing could not believe how smooth-sailing Ning Ran’s acting career was and wondered why she did not have the same good fortune.

She felt she was on a par with Ning Ran in terms of acting skills, and there was no reason she was always the supporting actress.

Ning Ran would definitely lose her mind if she lost her children. She might not even want to continue living, not to mention continue acting.

It would be the end of her. If that happened, Tang Jing might get to replace Ning Ran, and it would finally be her turn to shine.

However, the question was whether she could bring herself to harm those five-year-old kids.

No! Tang Jing knew deep down what her answer was.

The difference between humans and beasts was that humans had moral boundaries. Killing children would make her no different from a beast.

She would never do that. It was simply not possible.

If she needed to harm children in order to gain fame and fortune, she would rather not have it.

In other words, even if Tang Jing hated Ning Ran, she would never take it out on her innocent children.

Even if she did not consider the kids, she would not want to offend Nan Chen.

After all, they were Nan Chen’s children as well. He would surely go to the ends of the earth to avenge his kids if anyone hurt them.

Tang Jing was sure that the man’s means of revenge would be extreme and destructive, not something an ordinary woman like her would be able to endure.

As such, the woman had made up her mind not to take up Ouyang Qing’s suggestion.

After coming to a clear decision, Tang Jing felt somewhat more relaxed.

Then, she took out her phone and called Nan Xing.

The man answered after just a few rings. “Ms. Tang? You’ve just met me a while ago. Are you missing me already?”

It was meant to be a joke, but Tang Jing saw it as an opportunity for her to jump into the topic. “Mr.

Xing, how did you know that?”

Letting out a chuckle, Nan Xing replied, “I was just kidding. What’s the matter?”

“Ouyang Qing wants to meet you tomorrow. Will you be free?”

“If she wants to meet me, shouldn’t she ask me herself? You’re not her assistant.”

“I don’t know why, but since we are friends, I simply agreed when she asked me to ask you out. Are you free? If you’re free, I’ll let her know,” Tang Jing replied.

“Is she beside you now? Pass the phone to her.”

“Nope. I didn’t meet her. We spoke over the phone just now,” Tang Jing quickly said.

“If that’s the case, what time and where should we meet tomorrow?”

“Oh, she didn’t mention that. I’ll check with her again tomorrow.”

Nan Xing laughed. “Ms. Ouyang is really some big shot, eh? Okay, we’ll talk tomorrow, then.”

The man hung up after that.

Initially, Tang Jing wanted to chat with him a little longer, but Nan Xing had already ended the call. The woman could not help but feel slightly dejected as she listened to the disconnected tone on the phone.

“It’s already so late. Are you going out to meet some girl again?” Nan Chen, who was next to Nan Xing, asked coldly after seeing his brother hang up.

“Nah. It was Ouyang Qing’s friend asking me out on her behalf. She wants to meet me tomorrow,” Nan Xing explained.

“She asked you out? Why does she want to see you?”

“I have no idea. She didn’t ask me out personally. She got someone else to do it instead. I have no idea why she wants to meet me either.”

Nan Chen paced about a little before saying, “I think I know why.”

“Of course you know, since you’re so smart. You’ll definitely be able to guess her motives. Why don’t you analyze it for me, then, Chen?” Nan Xing joked with a laugh.

“Stop joking. I’m being serious here.”

“I’m serious too. I’m always a serious person,” Nan Xing replied with a serious expression on his face this time.

“Previously, you said that Ouyang Qing intended to sue you. If that’s the case, I think she’ll be making some sort of request. If you agree to her condition, she won’t sue you. However, if you don’t agree, she’ll then file a lawsuit against you in order to preserve her reputation.”

“That seems likely, but what sort of request do you think she’ll make?” Nan Xing asked.

“I’m not sure about that. It could be her personal request, or she could also be making a request on Ouyang Duo’s behalf. However, the possibility of it being the latter is very slim. Given Ouyang Duo’s character, I’m sure he wouldn’t want to see his daughter at all and would send her overseas immediately. He wouldn’t risk being embarrassed by her again, not to mention asking her to make a request on his behalf.”

Nan Xing gave it a thought before responding, “But didn’t you say that Ouyang Duo would be infuriated and attack our Nan family?”

“If he’s really thinking of attacking us, he would do it from the shadows. I don’t think he will get his daughter to propose any conditions. A prideful man like him wouldn’t send his daughter to act on his behalf. That would be too humiliating for him. As such, I’m guessing Ouyang Qing will be making a personal request. Maybe something like asking you to admit to the reporters that you were the one who messed with her first. Anyway, no matter what her request is, you should just agree to it first and let the matter rest,” Nan Chen uttered.

Nan Xing became anxious when he heard his brother’s words. He bolted up from the sofa and replied, “Agree to it, no matter what? How can I do that?”

Walking toward Nan Xing, Nan Chen placed his hands on his brother’s shoulders, pushing him back onto the sofa.

“Well, you’re the one who caused the problem, so you have to settle it. As such, you have to agree to her request no matter what it is.”

“What if she wants to sleep with me? Am I supposed to agree to that as well?” Nan Xing asked with a grimace.

“Do you really think she’ll ask you for that, given her situation? Do you think she’s really that shameless? Her request would surely be related to salvaging her reputation. Hence, you have to agree to it,” Nan Chen ordered sternly.

“But—”

“Maybe after this, you’ll finally learn your lesson. You can’t always just act as you wish without considering the consequences,” Nan Chen remarked coldly.

Releasing a sigh, Nan Xing stated in frustration, “It’s all Dabao’s fault. He was the one who landed me in this sh*t. I’ll never listen to anything that rascal says again. He has set a trap for his uncle!”

At noon the next day, Ouyang Qing left Orchid Club after covering herself from head to toe.

She was wearing a cap, a mask, sunglasses and a scarf.

She wanted to be sure that no one would recognize her, as she would be in trouble if someone managed to recognize her.

Ouyang Qi was her chauffeur for the day. As there was no one else Ouyang Qing trusted, she had asked her brother to drive her.

However, when she saw that Ouyang Qi did not even bother to put on sunglasses, the woman’s frustration kicked in.

“Are you stupid or what? If someone sees you, they would be able to guess that I’m the one in your car.

With my get-up, they would be certain that it’s me! Are you trying to get me in trouble? Are you upset that I asked you to drive me?”

None of that had crossed Ouyang Qi’s mind. Of course, he would never intentionally cause trouble for Ouyang Qing.

Even though he was not exactly a good person, he would certainly not harm his own sister.

“All right. I’ll wear my sunglasses right away, but I don’t have a mask. I’ll get one from the pharmacy ahead.”

Aware that Ouyang Qing was in a bad mood, Ouyang Qi did not want to provoke her.

“Forget it. Just find an underground parking lot and drop me there. You can leave after that,” Ouyang Qing uttered.

“Huh? Why do you want to go to an underground parking lot? Are you thinking of committing suicide?

Don’t do that! You’re still so young. Besides, what happened to you is not even that serious. Why can’t you just get over it? There’s really no need to go to that extent. You still have a long journey ahead of you!” Ouyang Qi exclaimed.

“Are you crazy? There’s no way I’d do that!” Ouyang Qing scolded. “Besides, have you seen anyone committing suicide in an underground parking lot?”

“Right, it doesn’t seem like an ideal location. Why are you going there, then?”

“I need to meet someone, so I have to choose somewhere without crowds. You can just drop me there and leave.”
