Nan Xing had stayed and waited in the hospital parking lot.
After Nan Chen had left, he stayed behind. He had to get to the bottom of why Ning Ran was mixed up with that man!
The phone rang, and Nan Xing immediately answered as soon as he saw the number, “What is it?”
He wanted to be fierce towards Ning Ran but couldn’t bring himself to do it in the end.
After all, that woman had given birth to two of the Nan family’s children and had raised them all by herself throughout those years, so he couldn’t bring himself to be fierce with her.
“Lunlun wants us to take him out for hotpot, do you know a good place for it?”
She didn’t even ask for his approval and let him choose the venue right away. If he was the one who picked the restaurant, he would be the one to bear full responsibility if Nan Chen were to blame someone for it.
Nan Xing was confused when he heard that. Didn’t they all agree on not letting him out of the hospital? And now they were going out for hotpot? Who would be responsible if something went wrong?
“You promised him?” Nan Xing asked with a frown.
“I thought you were the one who promised him?” Ning Ran asked.
“I didn’t! Who said I did?” Nan Xing was getting anxious.
“Oh, so he lied to me then. I had agreed to take him because I heard you had agreed to. That’s why I’m calling you to ask for a good place for a hotpot now.”
“No, he cannot go out! My brother said he mustn’t show up outdoors as it was too risky.” Nan Xing said.
“I get it now; you just listen to your brother and say whatever he says. No ideas, no opinions, no soul, nothing at all. If I had to describe you with one word, it’d be a puppet.” Ning Ran said.
Nan Xing couldn’t stand hearing that, “What are you saying? Am I that kind of person?”
“What kind of person are you then? You say you have your own opinions but you need your brother’s approval just to take your nephew out for hotpot? Would you eat dirt if your brother tells you to as well?” Ning Ran asked.
Nan Xing nearly smashed his phone in anger, but he held himself back.
“My brother is doing this for Lunlun’s own good. He’s a public figure, so it’s risky for him to go out like that. If someone finds out about his current condition, his career as a star could be over.”
“The Nan family is so wealthy. Even if Lunlun doesn’t become a star, you could still give him a job that would feed him, right? You say it’s for his own good, but in the end, you’re just thinking about yourselves.” As Ning Ran said that, she paused and felt that she needed to increase the intensity a little.
“So, do you guys treat Lunlun as a star to make profits or as family? If you truly see him as family, then you should satisfy this little wish of his!” Ning Ran had said all that for both Nan Xing and Zheng Lunlun to hear.
As long as she could make Zheng Lunlun happy, she could reduce the pressure from him asking for his money back.
It would also be easier to handle the pressure from Poker Face later on with Zheng Lunlun’s help.
Zheng Lunlun nodded in approval when he heard what Ning Ran said.
Nan Xing gave it some thought and felt what she said made sense.
Zheng Lunlun was able to survive such a terrifying incident, after all. Does it really matter that much how well his career goes?
Even if Zheng Lunlun didn’t work for the rest of his life, he wouldn’t have to worry about a thing as the Nan family was wealthy enough to support him anyway. So, why worry so much?
“Alright, then we’ll take him out. But don’t let my brother know about this.”
Ning Ran was delighted to hear that, “Of course, we’ll just carry it out in secret!”
Zheng Lunlun jumped in joy when he heard that he could leave the hospital.
He started to rummage through his box looking for a change of clothes.
Being a pretty boy, of course he would have to dress up nicely before heading out.
“I’ll wait outside. I’ll come back in after you’re done changing.” Ning Ran stepped out of the ward and shut the door behind her.
At the same time, Nan Xing came out of the elevator. Ning Ran pulled him aside and pointed at the bodyguards standing next to the elevator, “What do we do about those guys?”
