Chapter 80: Chapter 80

q In order to treat his children to a meal, Nan Xing booked an entire children restaurant in Flower City.

As he booked the entire restaurant, the activity corner that was usually full of life became cold and quiet without a single soul around.

Ning Ran impatiently said, “The appealing factor of this children’s restaurant is the fun and company the children can get in the activity corner. What’s the point if no one else can enter this place because you booked the whole place？”

Nan Xing was speechless, “I didn’t consider that much. I just thought that it would be nice to have a peaceful area to ourselves as we reunite as a family.”

The dishes came up one after another, and it seemed endless.

“Did you order all the dishes available in this restaurant?” Ning Ran questioned.

“Yes, I made a reservation. I wasn’t sure what the kids would like to eat, so I just got the restaurant to serve their best sellers. The kids can just eat whatever they like. Saves the hassle of having the select dishes.” Nan Xing replied.

“Wasteful.” Dabao said as he threw Nan Xing a cold stare.

“Did you hear that? Even children know that it is a waste! I know that you are rich, but do you have to be so wasteful? You’re setting a wrong example for the kids!” Ning Ran frowned and exclaimed.

“Fine, it’s my fault. I thought that given my ability, I would be able to win this child’s heart over but now it seems challenging. He hasn’t stopped criticizing me all this while. Everything I do seems wrong to him!”

Nan Xing said, looking glum.

Ning Ran felt amused.

Dabao was not acceptive of Nan Xing. He looked down on Nan Xing’s cocky attitude.

No matter how hard Nan Xing tried to please Dabao, he seemed to be unreceptive at all.

The worse it gets, the more eager Nan Xing wanted to get Dabao’s approval. He tried even harder than before.

But the harder Nan Xing tried, the more pompous it seemed and Dabao disliked him even more.

During the meal, Dabao did not eat much. After he was done eating, he crossed his arms and watched his sister eating greedily.

Erbao was in a great mood and was binge eating.

“Ning Sihan, stop eating so much. You’re going to overeat soon!” Ning Ran reminded her.

Erbao immediately placed her cutlery down, set up straight and answered, “I have a small appetite. I am still graceful.”

Nan Xing couldn’t hold back his laughter. He really liked this daughter a lot.

At this time, Ning Ran’s phone rang.

It was a message from Luo Fei which said: I know where is the disk drive that your mother is searching for.

Ning Ran shivered. Why would Luo Fei know that her mother was searching for a lost drive when she was still around?

Meanwhile, Luo Fei sent her yet another message: If you want the disk drive, meet me at the Blue Club.

……

It was 11pm at night in the Blue Club.

Luo Fei was in a bad mood today. Before Ning Ran arrived, she had already drank quite a lot.

Upon seeing Ning Ran, she got even angrier. Her mood plummeted.

“How did you know that my mother was looking for a hard drive when she was alive?” Ning Ran directly questioned her.

Luo Fei let out a cold laugh, “I know a lot of things. I know whatever you know but you do not know whatever I know.”

“That hard drive was left behind by my mother for me. Return it to me.”

“Do you think I will return it to you so easily?”

“What do you want then?”

“Ning Ran, you’re so despicable. You can’t get Nan Chen for yourself so now you’re trying to seduce Nan Xing? Receiving flowers and diamonds, who are you trying to show it to?” Every word that came out of Luo Fei’s mouth was full of hatred.

Ning Ran laughed, “I am trying to show it to you. Are you jealous?”

“Cheap!” Luo Fei exclaimed angrily.

“Who knows if I am cheap or not? I know you’re jealous but I can’t help it. Nan Xing is all head over heels for me, no point getting envious of me.” Ning Ran smiled and said.

“Ning Ran, don’t get so happy. If you want to get the disk drive that your mother has been looking for, you better leave from the Nan family. You cannot reunite with them! You have to firmly proclaim that the biological father of your children is not Nan Xing and is some other man!” Luo Fei yelled.

“You’re pretty fast in getting updates. You even know about this matter?”

“I already knew about it way back. Nan Chen will always discuss with me personally about any problems that the Nan family faces. I found out earlier than you did!” Luo Fei said.

Luo Fei was obviously lying.

She knew about this because Nan Xing stole her from the scene earlier today and everyone had to cease the making of the film.

Luo Fei was full of envy and hatred. She gave Jiang Zhe a call and hoped that he would report this matter to Nan Chen.

Jiang Zhe then told Luo Fei that Nan Xing was the biological father of the two children. He actually did not want to interfere with people’s family matters.

Luo Fei immediately sensed a crisis coming ahead. If Ning Ran entered the Nan family, she was worried that the secret she had hid for so many years would be exposed.

She would then lose everything she had acquired and lead a miserable life.

Under this circumstance, the only choice she was left with was to use what Ning Ran’s mother had left behind to blackmail her.

Ning Ran knew that she had no choice but to promise Luo Fei on this matter. All she wanted was to get the disk drive that her mother left behind.

After her mother fell ill, she did mention about the disk drive for a few times. Ning Ran did not know what information was in it but she knew that it was definitely very important.

Although her mother has left since many years ago, Ning Ran still believes that her mother’s death was not as simple as it seemed.

If she could get hold of her belongings, perhaps there was a chance to find out the cause behind her mother’s death or even get back what was snatched away from her mother.

“Ok, I promise you.” Ning Ran said.

Hearing Ning Ran’s reply, Luo Fei’s mood instantly improved.

“You and your children have to disappear from Flower City and never return forever.” Luo Fei said.

“If you return me my mother’s belongings, I will do anything you want.” Ning Ran replied.

“No. You have to agree first. Else, I will not give it to you.”

“I know that you do not trust me but neither do I. How can you prove to me that you really have my mother’s belongings?”

Luo Fei fished out her phone and showed Ning Ran a picture of a disk drive.

Ning Ran did not see the disk drive before so she would not know whether it was real or not.

But given her current situation, all she could do was to choose to compromise in order to get the disk drive back.

She had to first get what her mother left behind. She could not care much about what might happen in the future.

“I will have to make arrangements. You should know where I stand in the Nan family. It isn’t as easy for me to leave as I wish.”

“Rest assured. I will help you to execute the necessary plans. As long as you promise to leave, I will give you the disk drive.”

“What do you plan to do? Where are you making me go?”

“The Nan family is too powerful. I will have to send you and your vile spawns to a place where no one can ever find you.” Luo Fei sneered “What kind of place is that？”

Ning Ran knew how vicious Luo Fei could get. But she had no idea where Luo Fei would send her to.

“When the time comes, you will naturally find out. But no matter what it is, no one from the Nan family will ever look for you again. You can live peacefully with your evil spawns for the rest of your life. I am not taking your lives away. It is already good enough. You have a tragic fate. Being able to survive is already a lucky thing for you. You’re not destined to marry into the Nan family to enjoy such pleasures of life. Only I do!”

The thought of Ning Ran disappearing from Flower City forever made her extremely jovial.

Ning Ran did not rebut. She only smiled at her.

She thought to herself. If I do not have such a fate, you wouldn’t have either.

Five years ago I did whatever you told me to. Now five years later, you’re still trying to manipulate me?

Not in your life!
