My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 291

“Chen, are you still upset with me?” Bai Hua asked again.

“Nope,” Nan Chen answered simply.

Bai Hua tried to carry on the conversation, but the awkwardness was too energy-draining.

“Why are you not asking about our life in Tokyo? You dad and I have been away from the country for so many years, shouldn’t you show some concern for our situation abroad?” There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Bai Hua’s voice.

Nan Chen kept quiet.

It was not true that he was not interested in their well-being at all. He had sent people to check out his parents’ situation a few times and got confirmation that they were living comfortably in Tokyo.

However, he did not feel a need to explain himself.

When Bai Hua realized her son was not interested in conversing with her, she stopped talking and looked out of the window.

Flower City had changed a lot over these years when she wasn’t around. Many places looked entirely different from the time when she had left.

Nanshi Corporation’s logo could be seen everywhere, which signified the corporation’s unshakable position in the city.

A wave of depression suddenly hit Bai Hua, as she noted that she was already an outsider to all these. She was no longer a part of the Nanshi Corporation’s success.

The woman was not resigned to her fate.

Since she was back to the country now, she had to do something to recover what she had lost a few years ago.

Even though it would not be an easy feat, she was determined to try.

Silence ensued in the car all the way until they reached their destination.

Bai Hua noticed that they were not at the Nan family’s Commoner Residence.

“Where’s this place?” She asked.

“You’ll be staying here temporarily,” Nan Chen answered.

When Bai Hua got out of the car, she saw the sign on the building with the words ‘Red Star Nursing Home’.

“What? You want me to stay in a nursing home?” Bai Hua shrieked.

“Yup, you’re only back here for treatment. I’ve already arranged for the best medical team to have the first consultation with you tomorrow,” Nan Chen answered.

“Even if I can’t stay at the Nan residence, you should have at least arranged for me to stay at a hotel. Why should I stay at this place which is in the middle of nowhere?”

Bai Hua felt that this was an insult to her, and her eyes reddened in frustration.

“It’s not possible for you to stay in a hotel.”

“Why? I don’t even have the right to stay in a hotel anymore? Is it a crime for me to spend my own money to stay in a hotel?” Bai Hua yelled.

“You can’t do that.”

“Why? Are you oppressing me?”

“There will be a lot of people in the hotel. We can’t guarantee that no one would recognize you. This place is quiet and well-equipped. It’s more suitable for you to rest and nurse your illness,” Nan Chen said indifferently.

“I’m not staying here! I don’t want to stay in such a place! I don’t consent to this!” Bai Hua screamed.

“Grandpa has only allowed you to come back because I have promised him that I’ll make sure no one knows about it. If you’re not willing to cooperate and someone finds out about it, you will be sent away immediately. And if that happens, it would be even more difficult for you to return again. So, I hope you understand the situation you’re in and calm down. Just stay here for the time being and focus on your recovery. That’s the most important thing right now.”

After hearing what Nan Chen said, Bai Hua stopped kicking up a fuss.

The woman knew that she had committed a heinous act which had almost annihilated the Nan family from Flower City.

She only regained her composure after Nan Chen’s reminder.

“Ok then, I’ll just stay here for now.”

The nursing home wasn’t bad at all. It might even be better than the average hotel.
