Chapter 581 I Have A Stipulation During the drive back, Ouyang Duoâs expression remained as dark as thunder. He initially planned to go to the Nan residence to feel the Nan family out and put some pressure on them, but he ended up being disparaged by Nan Chen until he slinked away with his tail tucked between his legs and didnât even get to eat a single bite of the meal.
Aware that her father was in a foul mood, Ouyang Qing didnât dare utter a single word. Unfortunately, Ouyang Qi couldnât help urging, âLetâs find a place to have some food! Iâm starving!â
âAll you know is to eat! How did I raise such a fool like you?â The wrath within Ouyang Duo instantly burst forth. âIâm just hungry. Regardless of whether one is foolish or smart, heâll require sustenance.
Thereâs no correlation between the two,â Ouyang Qi muttered.
âI told you to deal with the woman dating Nan Chen. Why havenât you made a move yet? Also, I froze his bank card, no? Which of you is giving him money?â Ouyang Duo roared.
No one dared to make a single sound.
âThatâs enough. Stop tearing into me. Why are you venting your anger on me when you yourself arenât Nan Chenâs match? Ding Mi is just an insignificant character. Why must you keep targeting her? Do you think Nan Chen is going to change his mind and marry Qing after you kill her? Thatâs obviously not happening, so why do such a despicable thing?â
Ouyang Qi was likewise chagrined to the core. His bank card had been frozen recently, so he had been seething over the fact that he couldnât simply spend money for his enjoyment.
He was usually blithe and insouciant, but he had hit the nail right on the head then. Previously, he was ordered to think of a way to sabotage Ning Ran so that the Nan family wouldnât accept her.
Consequently, Nan Chen wouldnât be able to marry her.
Accordingly, Ouyang Qing would then stand a chance. At present, however, Ouyang Qing had already ruined everything and couldnât possibly get together with the man anymore.
Hence, it wouldnât do the Ouyang family any good, even if they were to get rid of Ning Ran. As such, Ouyang Qiâs remark at that moment was right on pointâNing Ran was just an inconsequential figure, so there was no longer any need to target her.
âIf you manage to win her over, itâll be a humiliation to Nan Chen! The Nan family humiliated me, so I want to pay them back for it! Ask her out tomorrow. No matter what method you use, you must make her your woman! Nan Chen regards her highly, huh? Bed her, and weâll see whether he can still remain calm and unruffled!â Ouyang Duo bellowed.
âIs this necessary, Dad?â Ouyang Qi exclaimed.
âItâs necessary because I said so! If you donât do it, get out of my sight! Go far away instead of making a fool of yourself in Flower City!â Ouyang Duo barked.
âExactly! Destroy that b*tchâs reputation and humiliate Nan Chen! Besides, have the whole world know that Nan Chenâs woman cheated on him!â Surprisingly, Ouyang Qing seconded that idea as well.
Their repeated failures and inability to garner any benefit while sabotaging the Nan family in the past few days had the maliciousness within them surging out. They were then a tad out of their minds.
âIâm never going to do such a despicable thing. Fair competition is fine, but Iâm not going to use any disgraceful means on her,â Ouyang Qi asserted.
Upon hearing that, Ouyang Duo grew all the more livid. âStop pretending to be a saint! Do you really not know the kind of person you are? You must bed Nan Chenâs woman tomorrow and push him to the brink of insanity so that heâll make a mistake! Iâm not going to give up just like this after having plotted and waited for so many years!â
Feng Jialing, who had been keeping mum, finally couldnât stay silent anymore. âYou donât have to be in such a hurry, do you? The Nan family is no easy prey, and thereâs still plenty of time in the future. Lunar New Year is around the corner, so just table things until after the celebration passes. Why must you be so frantic?â
However, Ouyang Duo was at the height of fury then, so everything fell on deaf ears. âShut up! Just do as I said!â
Meanwhile, Erbao got out of the car. She refused to have Ning Ran carry her but walked into the house by herself.
In truth, she was still very weak, but she wanted to feign robustness so as not to worry her great-
grandparents.
âGreat-Grandpa, Great-Grandma, Iâm here!â
Undeniably, her voice wasnât as resounding as before, and it was because of her physical condition.
âMy precious great-granddaughter is here! Iâve got to take a good look at her!â Feng Wan hurriedly went over to her.
âIâve missed you, Great-Grandma!â
Although Erbao was ill, she remained as honey-mouthed as ever. Feng Wanâs eyes turned red-rimmed once more. âHow are you feeling, sweetheart? Are you experiencing any discomfort?â
âIâm fine, so donât worry, Great-Grandma!â âWhat would you like to eat? Iâll have someone make it for you. If it canât be made at home, Iâll buy it for you!â
While Erbao still hadnât much appetite, she randomly named a few dishes in order to make her great-
grandmother happy. Feng Wan quickly ordered someone to prepare the dishes before announcing that they could all eat.
âWhoa! Itâs finally time to eat! We werenât allowed to eat before you guys arrived,â Nan Xing teased while smirking. At his remark, embarrassment flooded Ning Ran. âSorry about that.â
âNo apologies needed. It must have been difficult for you to take care of Erbao, so hurry up and sit down to eat.â Ever since the Ouyang family revealed their true colors, Feng Wanâs attitude toward Ning Ran had improved considerably.
She hadnât despised Ning Ran in the first place, merely feeling that women in the entertainment industry were unquestionably more complicated.
If one were to choose a granddaughter-in-law between an actress and a wealthy heiress, anyone would show a preference for the latter. That was nothing out of the ordinary.
Subsequently, they started eating. Actually, Ning Ran and the two children were already eating when she was told to come over.
But since they were there, she still had to eat some for courtesyâs sake.
âLunar New Year is coming soon. Iâm overjoyed this year because we have Dabao and Erbao with us!
Iâve been contemplating a gift for them for the past two days in conjunction with Lunar New Year,â Nan Zhengde commented with a smile.
âJust give them a monetary gift. While youâre at it, give me one as well!â Nan Xing suggested, grinning from ear to ear.
âItâs okay, Grandpa. They donât lack anything. In fact, we should be giving you a gift. What would you like? Weâll prepare it in advance,â Nan Chen interjected.
âNo, a gift is indispensable. It must have been difficult for them while being out there during the past few years. Now that theyâre home, I naturally have to give them a gift for Lunar New Year. Nan Xing is right. After giving it some thought, I think a monetary gift is the best. Hence, after discussing it, your grandmother and I decided that Iâll give ten percent of the shares under my name to Dabao while your grandmother will give ten percent of the shares under her name to Erbao as a gift for Lunar New Year!â
The instant those words fell, everyone was stunned.
Nanshi Corporation was a mega-corporation. No one had ever calculated how much exactly ten percent of the shares under Nan Zhengdeâs name were worth, but they were certainly in the billions.
If they were given to an adult, he or she could even be a major shareholder of Nanshi Corporation with those shares.
âNo, Grandpa. Theyâre still kids, so how could you do that?â Nan Chen objected at once.
âI agree. Theyâre still young, so they canât accept such an exorbitant gift,â Ning Ran echoed.
âListen to me first. Your grandmother and I are in our twilight years, so it doesnât make much sense for us to hold on to those shares. However, I havenât yet made up my mind about their distribution if I were to hand them out. Furthermore, it would also affect the power balance in Nanshi Corporation. As such, I havenât figured out a solution yet. But I now have great-grandchildren. Theyâre of the Nan family and are the hope of the family in the future, so I naturally want them to be part of the family officially. Only when they have some shares in hand will they have a say in the Nan family. However, I have a stipulation,â Nan Zhengde stated.
No one said anything, for they were all wondering about the kind of stipulation attached when he was gifting away so many shares.
