Although Feng Wan seemed to be only scolding Bai Hua , her words were not directed to her alone.
When she scolded Bai Hua for belittling the Nan family, it was also directed to the Ouyangs.
How could a sly man like Ouyang Duo not realize that she was picking on them too?
After all, the Nan family was the most influential family in Flower City.
Even if he wanted to take advantage of them, he should not provoke the family.
With that in mind, he straightened and tried to appease her. “Madam, please calm down. Jialing may not good with words but she has no intention to offend you in any way. Please forgive her.”
Nan Zhengde jumped in to help him too. “Ouyang Duo, please sit down. Those are words of an old lady with no sense of propriety, so don’t mind her.”
Then, he turned around to shout at Feng Wan, “That’s enough. You are talking about Bai Hua, but this dear boy felt the pinch affected too!”
As a couple for many years, they had developed a tacit understanding.
After Nan Zhengde spoke, Feng Wan remained silent.
Instead, she bent down to pick Erbao up. “Oh dear, be good, Erbao. Don’t cry, alright?
“In the future, I will never talk to adults anymore. All of you don’t keep your promises!” Erbao continued to wail.
“We will not go back on our words! Erbao, you are not at fault, and it is all your grandmother’s fault,” Feng Wan cooed.
Without a word, Dabao secretly gave Erbao a thumbs up to praise his sister’s amazing acting.
At that moment, Chai Hua walked in and reported, “Old Master, Young Master is back. He says that he will see you after he washes up.”
“Chen is back? Alright, let’s wait for him then. Take away these dishes and prepare new ones instead!” Nan Zhengde ordered.
After Ouyang Duo heard that Nan Chen was back, he smirked. That’s great. Since I have been ridiculed today, I shall teach the Nan family a lesson, and he is just in time for it.
If they show resistance, I will threaten them and let them know that they will not salvage the losses incurred from the Vietnam project.
Since our conversation was going nowhere, I might as well take it all the way.
“Chen is home just in time. If you have any questions, you can direct them to him,” Nan Zhengde smiled and said to Ouyang Duo.
He had confidence in Nan Chen, to give good answers.
Why? After Nan Chen came home, he must have heard that they have a guest over, and he would have guessed that it was Ouyang Duo.
If he is not prepared to face Ouyang Duo and is still hesitant, he would have left secretly without informing the guest of his presence.
Since he did not do so and even said he would come down after washing up, he is prepared to deal with Ouyang Duo.
Since Nan Chen had the confidence to meet Ouyang Duo, Nan Zhengde naturally had faith in him.
He knew his grandson’ very well. He is not someone who will fight a losing battle.
On the other hand, Ouyang Duo did not think much of it and thought that Nan Chen would beg him. He was sure that Nan Chen would agree to their collaboration on the project in Vietnam.
After the two children made him look bad, he could not let it go easily.
Instead of the original terms and conditions, I am determined to make them harsher.
Previously, Nan Chen hesitated to agree to the partnership.
Since he will be begging to work with me, I will not stick to those original terms. I will give him a taste of my power!
With that in mind, Ouyang Duo grinned.
Seeing how Ouyang Duo’s eyes were sparkling with excitement, Nan Zhengde started wondering. Why does he seem so happy? Did he come out with a new plan?
His faith in Nan Chen began to fade as he watched Ouyang Duo’s delighted expression.
After all, Ouyang Duo was a sly old fox. Even though Nan Chen was very competent, he was still much younger than Ouyang Duo and may be less experienced. Therefore, it was only natural for Nan Zhengde to worry.
