My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 262

“Aunt is in poor health. She keeps having nightmares and her appetite has also been decreasing. As such, she had lost a lot of weight lately,” Ouyang Qing said.

Nan Chen kept quiet.

“The doctors over there had diagnosed aunt with colorectal cancer. However, as surgery is not the best option for her current condition, the doctors had suggested that she come back here and try combating the disease with traditional Chinese medicine instead… “

When Nan Chen heard the word ‘cancer’, his mind instantly went blank.

He felt a sudden wave of sorrow as he stared at Ouyang Qing in a daze.

“But Chen, you don’t have to worry too much. The doctor had said the cancer is still in its early stages, it has not yet progressed to a stage where all hope is lost. TCM can create wonders and is often able to solve complex medical issues that Western medicine is unable to. Our priority now should be to bring aunt back home as soon as possible. I’ve already made arrangements with a TCM practitioner who’s one of the best in the country. I am confident he’ll be able to help Aunt.”

Ouyang Qing looked at Nan Chen expectantly, as if waiting to claim the credit.

However, Nan Chen did not speak as he was still wallowing in sadness.

“Chen? Don’t be too worried yeah? The doctor has already said it’s a good thing the cancer was discovered early, so the chances of recovery are high. Aunt just has to receive treatment here.”

Nan Chen finally snapped out of his misery and said, “I’ll go talk to Grandpa now.”

“Chen, do we still need the Old Master’s permission to bring aunt back, given that she’s already so seriously ill? What if he doesn’t agree?”

“Grandpa will agree. I will explain the situation to him properly.”

Nan Chen put on his jacket and was ready to leave his office.

“If that’s the case, I’ll go with you. I know the actual situation better, so it might be clearer if I do the explanation instead,” Ouyang Qing volunteered.

“No need,” Nan Chen rejected the woman coldly.

“Chen, it really pains me to see you feeling so down. Aunt’s condition is really not as serious as you imagine, don’t be too worried alright?” Ouyang Qing said.

Nan Chen did not respond.

After they left the office, Nan Chen instructed Jiang Zhe to arrange for transport to send Ouyang Qing home, while he took huge strides towards the elevator.

Nan Chen leaned on the backrest after he got into the car, and closed his eyes.

Many past memories flashed through his mind. Some were pleasant, while some made him feel sad. But a common denominator in all those memories was his mom, Bai Hua.

As Bai Hua’s dad was Japan’s foreign ambassador to China, Bai Hua had grown up in China.

She had given birth to Nan Chen and Nan Xing after marrying the boys’ father, Nan Zhiyuan.

Everything went smoothly until Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan did something that disgraced the Nan family, which almost caused the downfall of the entire family.

In order to appease the situation, Nan Zhengde drove his son and daughter-in-law out of the Nan family and banned them from staying in China.

The original plan had been for them to go to the USA. However, after taking into consideration that Bai Hua’s family was in Tokyo, they had gone to Tokyo instead. The couple had also vowed not to return to China for the rest of their lives.

Time healed all wounds. After so many years, any feelings of longing or hatred had all been diluted with the passage of time.

As Nan Chen rose in power and became the pillar of the Nanshi Corporation, the adverse impact which his parents had brought unto the family had also been gradually negated.

However, the Old Master had yet to forgive his son and daughter-in-law. Over the years, he had not once brought up the possibility of them returning to the country.

Even though Bai Hua had fallen ill, Nan Chen still could not be sure if his grandpa would relent.

When Nan Chen arrived at the Nan residence, it was already late.

However, to his surprise, his grandpa was still awake and was in the study looking at some calligraphy works.

The elderly man had recently acquired some famous works of master calligraphers and was deep into inspecting those works these few days. As such, he had been going to bed later than usual.

Nan Chen waited at the door as the servant informed the Old Master of his arrival. The man only entered the study after being granted permission by his grandpa.

The Old Master looked delighted to see his grandson and waved him over. “You arrived just at the right time. Look at this masterpiece. The strength of the strokes and contrast created at each point are simply perfect. It’s definitely worth ten thousand right?”

It has become Nan Chen from Nan Xing…How was a mistake of such nature even possible?
