My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 576

Chapter 576 See Through Any Conspiracy

“That b*stard… I can’t believe he’d even harm a child! We have got to make him pay for this!” Nan Xing yelled angrily. “Remember, we mustn’t do anything rash until we have evidence!” Nan Chen reminded him.

“Who cares about evidence? He pulled a dirty trick on us, so all we have to do is return the favor! We don’t need to involve the police! Just have Qiao Zhan bring a group of men and kill that b*stard!”

Nan Xing got so agitated that he accidentally hit his wound and winced from the pain.

“Who do you think you are? Some kind of street gang leader? We’re living in a lawful society here! You can’t just do as you please! Can you stop being so childish and just calm down for a second? If you go after Ouyang Duo now, he’ll just have you arrested! Or worse, he could be waiting for you just so he can get some dirt on you to threaten our family with! He’ll be able to take everything we have, and it’ll be all on you!” Nan Chen said coldly.

“What can I do, then? Are we going to just let this slide?” Nan Xing shouted.

“Of course not! The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, so we will do nothing until it is over. Do not cause any trouble and ruin the Lunar New Year celebration for Grandpa and Grandma, got it?”

“Got it…”

“Good. Erbao says she misses you. Go pay her a visit if you’re able to walk,” Nan Chen said.

“All right. D*mn, I’ve never been screwed over like this in my entire life! It really sucks!” Nan Xing was still angry about the incident from earlier.

“Believe me, I want nothing more than to bring a group of men and go after him with you. However, we’re from the Nan family, and we need to take responsibility for our actions. We must think about the potential consequences before doing anything. Rushing it will only lead to us making mistakes, and that is exactly what Ouyang Duo wants. He believes that he can have us fall for his trick, but we know better. Just bear with it for a while, okay? I promise I will avenge you,” Nan Chen reassured him.

Their conversation was interrupted by a voice outside the door. “Where are you, Uncle Xing?”

It was Erbao. She got tired of waiting and pestered Ning Ran to bring her over.

Since Ning Ran got worried after hearing that Nan Xing was injured, she decided to come visit him as well.

Nan Xing tidied up his clothes before opening the door.

“What happened to you, Uncle Xing?” Erbao asked.

“I’m fine. I just got careless and fell down, that’s all. I’m all right now.” He then took Erbao over from Ning Ran as he continued, “How about you? Are you feeling any better?”

“Much better! I can get discharged tomorrow.”

“That’s good to know. I’ll take you to a nice restaurant after you get discharged!”

“But I don’t really have much of an appetite at the moment. Maybe we can do that after two days or so?”

“Oh, you’ll work up an appetite once you start eating. All right, it’s decided! I’ll take you to your favorite hotpot restaurant tomorrow!”

“Okay! Thank you, Uncle Xing!”

Meanwhile, Ouyang Duo was casually smoking a cigar in a booth at the Orchid Club when Ouyang Qing stormed in angrily.

“All you had to do was scare Nan Xing a little, Dad! Why would you have him thrown into the river? What if he ends up dying?” she shouted.

Being in a bad mood himself, Ouyang Duo stood up and shouted back at her, “Watch your attitude, Qing! You’ve become rather rude lately!”

Intimidated by his sudden outburst, Ouyang Qing kept quiet after that.

“There’s a river beneath the window, so he wasn’t at risk of dying. We need to make it look realistic or it’d defeat the purpose of doing it in the first place. A simple scolding isn’t going to suffice, okay? Besides, Nan Xing is just a tool! You haven’t actually fallen for him, have you?”

“Of course not! He may look like Nan Chen, but he is far from being anything like him!”

“We shouldn’t have a problem here, then. To be honest, I’m starting to regret it a little!” Ouyang Duo said with a sigh.

“Regret it?”

Ouyang Qing had rarely heard her father express his regret over his actions. He had always been the kind to do whatever he wanted without feelings of regret or remorse.

“I seem to have rushed things a little. My aim was to turn the brothers against each other. However, if that doesn’t happen, then I would’ve ended up exposing myself instead.”

Ouyang Duo was so stressed that he choked on his cigar after taking a huge puff of it.

“Are you referring to what Zhang Sheng told Nan Xing? The part about him harming his own niece?”

“Yes. If Nan Chen figures out that I’m the one who sent those men, then it’s only a matter of time before he figures out the rest. D*mn it, I was so fixated on making Nan Xing hate Nan Chen and turning them against each other that I got impatient! I forgot the fact that Nan Chen is no ordinary man! He is in control of everything!”

Ouyang Qing started to panic as well after hearing what her father said.
