My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 389

The next day, a woman wearing a long black dress exited Flower City’s airport’s ‘Domestic Arrival’ in the afternoon.

She was Feng Jialing, the wife of the Chairman of Sunshine Corporation’s board of directors — Ouyang Duo. She was also Ouyang Qing’s mother.

“Mom.”

Ouyang Qing, who had been waiting for her mother for quite some time now, immediately went forward and hugged Feng Jialing tightly. “I’ve missed you, Mom.”

“I don’t believe you. If you had really missed me, why didn’t you come back home instead of hanging around in Flower City,” Feng Jialing gently chided her daughter as she rubbed her head affectionately.

“Well, that’s because I have been busy.” Ouyang Qing said playfully, “That’s why I didn’t have time to go home and pay you a visit.”

“It has been a long time since I had met you, Jialing.”

Bai Hua, who had also come along to pick Jialing up, put out one hand.

“You still look as young as ever, Bai Hua,” Feng Jialing chuckled.

The fact that they were on a first-name basis with each other showed just how close they used to be.

“Ugh, I’m getting old. The years have certainly worn me down,” Bai Hua laughed, “But you, on the other hand, have done a great job on maintaining your figure. How do you do it?”

“Oh please, you’ve done a far better job than me. You look like a young girl in her early twenties, whereas I look like an old hag.”

After a round of compliments, both of them held hands and walked towards the car park. It was very clear that both of them were really close to each other.

However, Bai Hua got the feeling that Jialing was no longer as friendly towards her as she had been in the past.

Feng Jialing used to address her as Hua. Now, she addressed her by her full name – Bai Hua.

The Nan family and the Ouyang family were some of the wealthiest families in the cities. However, if one were to make a comparison, the Nan family was slightly more powerful than the Ouyang family.

The main reason behind this was that the Ouyang family was primarily in the banking industry whereas the Nan family had businesses in different industries.

Hence, the Ouyang family business fared better overseas. But, their business paled in comparison with all the other top global banks.

This, however, wasn’t because the members of the Ouyang family were incapable. But rather, it was because China’s finance industry had had a late start compared to their counterparts overseas who had had more than a hundred years of establishment.

Although rich women like them were polite and civil to each other on the surface, they all loved keeping up with the Joneses.

Back when the Nan family was the more powerful family, Bai Hua naturally felt more superior to her friend. And this superiority proceeded to manifest through her actions and the way she treated Feng Jialing.

Thus, even if hadn’t sat well with Feng Jialing, she had no choice but to address her friend as Hua.

But now, things have changed. The Bai Hua today could barely compare to who she had been in the past.

A few years ago, she had been kicked out of the Nan family. It wasn’t much of a secret and many people in this circle knew about it.

Although she had now returned to China, it would be incredibly difficult for her to regain her former position within the Nan family.

That was why Feng Jialing no longer felt the need to address her as ‘Hua’. In her opinion, she had shown Bai Hua enough respect just by agreeing to meet her.

Feng Jialing was clearly unhappy with the reception at the airport. Although it was definitely impossible for Nan Zhengde to personally come and pick me up, shouldn’t Nan Chen turned up as a junior?
