My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 242

“Of course,” Ning Ziqiang answered.

“Oh, then how is she?” Qiao Zhan asked again.

“She’s pretty good. She’s working as an actress,” Ning Ziqiang said.

It seemed that they understood her very well, as what he said was right.

“Why are you even mentioning her? You were nice to her, but how did she treat you?” Luo Yi chipped in abruptly.

Ning Ziqiang cooperatively sighed.

And that was how they worked together to deceive Ning Ran’s mother back then.

After so many years of acting, their acting skills had been brought to the point of perfection. A warrior like Qiao Zhan couldn’t see any flaws at all.

Engaging in conspiracy was not his forte.

“What is it?” Qiao Zhan looked at Luo Yi.

“Ning is too embarrassed to talk. After all, we can’t wash our dirty linen in public,” Luo Yi sighed.

“What exactly happened?”

“Actually…” Luo Yi looked hesitant.

“Just let it go. She’s just a child, so don’t blame her.” Ning Ziqiang pretended to stop Luo Yi from talking.

“It seems that you two are hiding something. If it’s inconvenient for you to say, then forget it.” Qiao Zhan tried to step back.

“It’s actually nothing much, it’s just that my health is not in good shape. I went to the hospital for a checkup a while ago, and the result was a little discouraging. The company is experiencing a downturn these few years and we’re not exactly living a comfortable life now, so medical visits have become a problem. Later, Luo Yi asked me to look for the child to see if she could find a way to help me borrow some money and help me get past this hurdle first.”

Qiao Zhan nodded. “Yeah, you should.”

“It took me a great deal of effort to find her. I told her about my situation and asked her to help borrow one hundred thousand, but… Let’s not go there,” Ning Ziqiang sighed and didn’t talk further.

Of course, Qiao Zhan wanted him to keep talking. How could he stop right at the key point?

“Ms. Ning didn’t agree afterwards?”

Luo Yi continued instead, “How could she agree? She said that Ning Ziqiang’s life and death were none of her business, and she wouldn’t give a single cent. It’s fine if she refused to give us the money, but she even spread rumors outside saying that we asked for a huge chunk of money and that we blackmailed her! Those old friends in the past are now calling us a beast. This girl is too cruel. So she doesn’t want to give us money, but how could she slander her father like this? I’m just her stepmother. She can say whatever she wants about me, but Ning is her biological father. How disappointing it is for her to spread rumors like this!”

At that, Luo Yi squeezed her eyes, forcing tears out of them.

Qiao Zhan pondered, This statement is exactly the same as what Feng Minsheng had said. Is Ning Ran really a cruel person? She doesn’t seem like one though.

“Didn’t you two communicate nicely with her?” Qiao Zhan asked.

“How are we supposed to communicate with her? She refused to help us and spread rumors about us. We can’t even bring ourselves to meet anyone now, but I don’t blame her. She had always misunderstood us, thinking that her mother’s death was related to us. But in all honesty, it’s really not our fault.”

Ning Ziqiang plastered on a sad face and wanted to squeeze out a few drops of tears, but failed to do so.

In terms of acting skills, he was a far cry from Luo Yi.

Qiao Zhan felt speechless. This result surprised him, as it wasn’t the result he wanted.

After entertaining them with few more words, Qiao Zhan paid the bill and left.

When he arrived at Nanshi Corporation, Nan Chen was in a meeting again.

In a year, Nan Chen probably spent more than ninety percent of his time in meetings.

Meetings seemed easy, but they were not.

Corporate meetings weren’t just a formality. Most of the meetings came with a concrete topic.

Nan Chen often had to make judgements and conclusion accordingly after a meeting and these conclusions determined the future of the company.

Especially for important meetings, Nan Chen had to make preparations himself and study the meeting materials handed over from the secretarial office. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to understand fully when someone spoke during the meeting.

Will he be even angrier if I tell him about that?
