My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 345

Obediently, Ning Ran accepted the call.

“Ran, where are you?”

“Get straight to the point,” she said in a neutral tone.

“I want to see you.”

“It’s too late so it’s not very convenient for me. Just say what you want.”

“Well, the thing is, I received a call from the courthouse today informing me that they’re going to auction off our old house. I was wondering if you still wanted that house. If you do, you should buy it. You could keep it as a souvenir or something.”

“That’s my mother’s house! How could you have mortgaged it off?”

“I didn’t have a choice! The company was bankrupt so the only thing I could do was mortgage the house. The bank is filing a lawsuit now. That’s why they’re auctioning the house. I thought I should let you know…”

Ning Ran hung up, unwilling to listen to him anymore.

Once again, grief threatened to swallow her whole.

“What’s wrong?” Nan Chen queried in concern.

“Ning Ziqiang says that Mom’s house is going to be auctioned off. He mortgaged it to the bank. The house… I can’t even keep the house…”

She choked up, unable to continue speaking.

Nan Chen knitted his brows. After a while, he said, “Stop thinking about all this and go to sleep.”

“Sorry for affecting your mood as well. I didn’t mean to.”

“It’s fine. How about this? Agree to meet with Ning Ziqiang tomorrow at the snooker bar.”

“Why?”

“It’s already been proven that you’re not his biological daughter. He must be thinking that you owe him all this. You have to do something to repay him.”

“I don’t owe him anything!” she protested.

“But he raised you, no? That’s the truth. You might as well do something that will repay him for the years of care he’s given you and get him off your back once and for all.”

“How? Am I really supposed to give him all that money?”

“Anything that money can solve is not a problem.”

That was the typical mindset that most wealthy people had. Nan Chen had the right to say that but Ning Ran most definitely did not.

“Money is the problem for me! Besides, why should I give him money? He and Luo Yi took all of my mother’s property! Why should I give him any more money? Sure, he raised me, but just barely! He took so much away from my mother! Is that not enough?”

Nan Chen said nothing.

“Well? say something! I’m having a discussion with you. You were the one who suggested I meet with him. Now I’m trying to talk about it with you but you’re being tight-lipped!”

Sorrow tinted her voice and expression.

“You’re not doing this for his sake but your mother’s. Since what your mother left behind is so meaningful to you, you should get them back. I’ll pay for them first. Think of it as a loan from me to you.”

Even before the words left his lips, she already suspected that was what he would say.

But now that he had offered to loan her the money, she had another problem.

She hated owing anyone money yet the debt she owed Nan Chen was getting progressively larger. She had no idea how she was supposed to pay it off in the future.

Deciding that honesty was the best policy, she declared bluntly, “I don’t want to owe you any more money.”

“There’s nothing scary about owing money. Even a large corporation like Nanshi Corporation has a certain ratio of liability. Nearly every single company does actually. It’s the liabilities that you can’t pay off that’s scary.”

“But I don’t have the ability to pay off my debts to you!”
