My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 1042

Chapter 1042 Looked A Little Angry

Ning Ran met Nan Xing, who was carrying a bouquet of orchids, in the hospital elevator.

She felt he seemed rather down and pensive.

“You didn't send flowers the first time you came, so are you making up for it the second time?” she teased.

“Don't make fun of me, Ning Ran. I'm a little agitated,” Nan Xing huffed, his expression sullen.

“What happened? Did Jingyuan tell you off again?”

Ning Ran was only joking and did not expect Nan Xing to start complaining.

“She doesn't know when to stop! Ning Ran, I let her get away with too much. I'll get her and teach her a lesson. She has no respect for me at all!”

Ning Ran was taken aback. What's with all this bitterness?

“Mr. Nan, have you forgotten that Lu Jingyuan is my best friend? I feel offended when you talk about her like that,” Ning Ran said flatly.

Nan Xing stared at her in disbelief. “You're not on my side?”

“Why should I take your side? You're bullying a woman, but you expect me to be complicit in your wrongdoing?” Ning Ran retorted.

Nan Xing looked aggrieved. “Who's the bully? When did you lose your sense of right and wrong, Ning Ran? Oh! Is it just because Lu Jingyuan is your best friend, so you're defending her with no bottom line?”

“Since you said you're going to teach her a lesson, I must defend her! How dare you bully a woman!”

Just like that, the two began squabbling in the elevator.

Even after the elevator arrived at the designated floor, they refused to leave until they were done arguing.

They were both worked up, but they would not dare to argue after exiting the elevator for fear of Nan Zhengde hearing them.

Hence, they chose to remain in the elevator and carry on bickering.

“You made me very upset, Ning Ran. We're a family, yet, you're not standing up for me!” Nan Xing grew increasingly aggrieved as time went by.

When Ning Ran saw that Nan Xing was about to cry, her anger subsided and was replaced by a desire to laugh.

“We are a family, but you were the one who brought Jingyuan over from the capital. You now want to teach an outsider a lesson. Is that even appropriate?” Ning Ran asked.

Nan Xing scrunched up his face. “I merely said that in a fit of anger. Do you really think that I can teach her a lesson?”

On second thought, Ning Ran felt that what he said made sense. It's possible for him to teach others a lesson, but Lu Jingyuan? I'm afraid that's a bit difficult.

“I get it now. She did it to you,” Ning Ran concluded while suppressing a smile.

“More or less,” Nan Xing replied vaguely, looking even more aggrieved.

This time, Ning Ran failed to contain her laughter, causing Nan Xing to feel disgruntled.

“Ning Ran, are you laughing at me? You either scold me or make fun of me. You don't even have the slightest bit of sympathy. What kind of sister-in-law are you?”

Ning Ran stifled her laughter. “My dear Nan Xing, I express my deep sympathy and condolences for what you've been through! I will condemn Lu Jingyuan for hurting you, and I will stand by you in opposing the wrong she committed against you.”

Although she said it seriously, Nan Xing could tell she was still making fun of him.

“Forget it. I'm done talking to you. When Chen comes back, I'll talk to him,” he huffed.

The elevator reached the designated floor again, and this time, they had to exit it.

Upon entering the ward, they found Feng Wan wearing reading glasses and reading the financial news to Nan Zhengde.

Nan Xing found it strange. “Why can't you read it yourself, Grandpa? Why do you need Grandma to read it to you?”

Nan Zhengde gave him the side-eye. “You're just not as smart as your brother!”

His words struck Nan Xing like a blow, and right then, the latter felt that life was too difficult.

“What'd I do now?” asked Nan Xing.

“It's just an article. If your grandma reads it once and then I read it, it would mean two people having to do the same thing twice. With your grandma reading it aloud, I don't have to read it anymore since I've already heard it, which saves one person's effort. I can't believe you can't understand something so efficient. If it was Nan Chen, he would definitely get it.”

Even Ning Ran was stunned by Nan Zhengde's words, for she had not understood it either.
