My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 412

Nan Zhengde pretended to act surprised and said, “Chen didn’t agree? How is that possible? I trust that your suggestion must have been good!”

Ouyang Duo didn’t know how to respond because he knew his suggestion involved taking advantage of the situation to divide the Nan family’s profits.

In other words, he was riding on the Nan family’s hard work and wanted a cut on the profit, so it wasn’t really that good a suggestion.

“Well…” Ouyang Duo stammered.

“Alright, let’s not discuss official business anymore. Nan Chen is still young, and you should guide him more. He probably didn’t accept your suggestion because he hasn’t realized how good it is. Once he thinks it through, he will definitely agree to it. Don’t worry for now. Come, let’s have a drink,” Nan Zhengde interjected.

Ouyang Duo had wanted to explain his plan to Nan Zhengde so he could help persuade Nan Chen, but he simply brushed him off.

Since Nan Zhengde didn’t want to listen at all, Ouyang Duo didn’t explain any further to avoid any embarrassment.

He kept his plan to himself and shut his mouth.

Well, if he doesn’t want to discuss official business, perhaps we can discuss personal matters?

“My daughter got involved in an incident in Flower City today, but thanks to your family’s dealings, she is safe and sound. Here’s a toast of gratitude to you!” Ouyang Duo casually said he prepared to discuss the topic of their children’s marriage.

Nan Zhengde had agreed to this matter before, albeit not in front of him. Therefore, Ouyang Duo wanted to make sure that Nan Zhengde gave his consent before him today.

Nevertheless, he took steps not to raise the topic directly but instead brought it up subtly.

As soon as Nan Zhengde heard these words, he knew exactly what Ouyang Duo wanted to talk about.

“It’s no big deal. To be frank, I don’t really know what occurred earlier today. But since the incident took place in Flower City, it’s natural that the Nan family protects the interests of its allies,” Nan Zhengde replied.

Ouyang Duo’s words carried a hidden meaning. Although it seemed like he was expressing gratitude, he actually meant to hint Nan Zhengde that his daughter suffered a blow in order to protect Nan Chen.

On the other hand, Nan Zhengde declared that he did not know what happened earlier to protect his self-interests. He did not want to owe Ouyang Duo’s family a favor until the matter was investigated thoroughly.

This made Ouyang Duo rather unhappy.

Feng Jialing butted into the conversation, “We weren’t at the scene today, but our bodyguards were. Perhaps we can ask them to an account of today’s incident.”

“Great-Grandpa, may I interrupt?” Dabao suddenly raised his hand.

“Go ahead. What did you want to say?” Nan Zhengde had always pampered his two great grandchildren, so he did not stop Dabao from speaking, especially since Dabao politely raised his hand and asked for permission to speak.

“The bodyguards were outside at the time so they do not know what exactly occurred either. However, we were present, and we witnessed the whole incident. Great-Grandpa, if you believe us, we can tell you what happened,” Dabao said solemnly.

“Children should not get involved in the affairs of grown-ups,” Nan Zhengde deliberately put on a stern face as he said.

“Okay,” Dabao obediently kept quiet after that.

“No, I have a feeling this kid is smart. Perhaps he can shed some light on what happened,” Feng Jialing advised.

“Yes, my great-grandson should be allowed to speak,” Feng Wan echoed.

Nan Zhengde’s intention wasn’t to deny his great-grandson the right to speak. He just didn’t want the Nan family to look too lenient in terms of house rules.

But since the other elders of the family had agreed for Dabao to speak, he didn’t stop Dabao any further.

“Alright, go ahead and tell us what exactly happened,” Nan Zhengde allowed him to speak.

“I’m not very good with words. It would be better if Erbao tells the story.” Dabao looked at his sister.

Erbao immediately put down her dining utensils and stood up to say, “Someone tried to take a picture of me and Dabao with her phone, but Dabao stopped her. She said she knew Mummy, that’s why she wanted to take a picture of us. Then Ms. Qing came…”

“How impolite. You should address her as Aunt…” Feng Wan interrupted.

“Oh right, then Aunt Qing came,” Erbao corrected herself.

“And then what?” the others asked.
