The Nan residence.
Upon listening to Feng Minsheng’s recording, Nan Xing could not help but frown.
“Brother, is this true?”
Nan Chen said with his poker face, “You think I made this up to fool you?”
“It’s not what I mean. I just thought that this dude could have made these stories up.” Nan Xing said.
Nan Chen felt disgusted when the image of Feng Minsheng speeding in his BMW popped up in his mind.
“He did not lie. They have been… together all this while.” Nan Chen almost blurted out their ‘secret love affair’, but held back those words, because he did not want to hurt Nan Xing.
Nan Xing was down. Is this why Ning Ran chose not to marry me?
“I don’t understand, brother. Is this BMW guy better than me? What made Ning Ran choose him?” Nan Xing said in disappointment.
“He’s nothing. How can he even compete with you? You’re just degrading your worth if you put yourself at his level. Do not think like this again.” Nan Chen said coldly.
Nan Chen felt that this incident had humiliated not just Nan Xing but himself as well. It might have even humiliated the entire Nan family.
Her children were members of the Nan family, after all. Her questionable and irresponsible behavior had hurt the children and Nan Xing, and this meant that she had also hurt the Nan family as well.
He was raging, but did not say it out, and could not say it out.
“What are we going to do, brother?” Nan Xing looked at Nan Chen.
Nan Chen kept quiet. Since Nan Chen did not speak, Nan Xing had to think of a solution on his own.
“I will not concede defeat. I must outwit that BMW guy, or else it would be embarrassing for me. I cannot allow this to happen.” Nan Xing mumbled.
Nan Chen remained silent.
Should I allow Nan Xing to compete with the BMW guy? That just sounds ridiculous. A member from the Nan family fighting for a woman? This is so unheard of.
“Just let her go. It’s time to give up.” Nan Chen said unsympathetically.
“No, she is the mother of my children. I can’t give up.” Nan Xing refused.
Nan Chen was just as troubled. Why does the mother of the two children have to be this woman? Why her?
“Forget about her. Let’s take the kids back.” Nan Chen’s tone became even colder.
“How can you say that, brother?”
“Do you think a woman like this deserves to be the children’s mother? Can you imagine the kind of nonsense she would teach them?” Nan Chen was frustrated.
It was all peace and harmony in the Nan family – until this woman appeared and messed everything up.
“I disagree with what you’ve said. I don’t think Ning Ran is bad. Even if she truly likes that man, what’s wrong? She has the freedom to fall in love with anyone.”
Nan Chen was stunned. Why are you defending her? And ironically, it seems like a logical justification too…
“A woman who flirts around with several men at the same time, and you don’t see this as a problem?” Nan Chen stared at Nan Xing.
“I don’t think there are many men… isn’t he the only one?”
Nan Chen was speechless. Seemed like Nan Xing was too mesmerized by her charm.
“Suit yourself. But I have to warn you — you cannot allow this woman to bring shame to the Nan family!”
“Brother, she has never done that before, isn’t it? I mean she’s still an outsider. It would be impossible for her to be a disgrace to the family.”
Nan Chen could tell that Nan Xing had truly fallen under her spell.
Whenever someone mentioned the woman’s name, Nan Xing would defend her outrightly.
