My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 639

Chapter 639 Is This Not Great

Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan exchanged glances. Bai Hua pointed at Nan Chen and scolded, “What do you mean by that, Nan Chen? Are you saying that I faked my terminal illness? I am indeed suffering from cancer. Is that how a son is supposed to behave?”

“You still intend to keep up with the pretense? I’ve already investigated this matter. Those specialists who diagnosed you back then were all bribed by Ouyang Qing. They all gave the standard diagnosis that you were critically ill, but that wasn’t true! Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital to get another health check-up so that I can prove that you’re lying?” Nan Chen was infuriated too.

Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan panicked when they saw Nan Chen growing impatient.

They had planned to maintain an adamant stance to put him in his place by relying on their status as elders. Unfortunately, their strategy didn’t seem to work.

“Nan Chen, I can explain this matter. I missed you and Nan Xing dearly after staying abroad for too long. I wish to be reunited with you two, but your grandpa forbade us from coming back. Your father and I resorted to this method because we had no other alternative. I can only return here by pretending to be sick. In fact, your grandpa gave us the green light to come back here after I faked my illness. We can stay together as a family now. Isn’t this great? Do you really hope for your dad and me to live the rest of our lives and pass away in a foreign country? Is that the outcome you desire? I don’t believe you’re such a stone-hearted person!”

Bai Hua played the sentiment card as she spoke with tears streaming down her face.

“I actually discovered your fraudulent claim to be sick long ago. I was also under the assumption that you wanted to come back here for your family, so I didn’t pursue this matter further to expose your facade. But did you two return solely for the sake of reuniting with your family?” Nan Chen asked.

“What other reason could it be? Why don’t you enlighten us, then?” Nan Zhiyuan asked.

“Dr. Ding Yuanchao is in Livingsfill instead of Lightspring. Why did you deceive us by saying you wanted to meet with him in Lightspring?” Nan Chen stared at his mother.

“What? I don’t know anything. I heard he was from Lightspring, so I assumed he would be there. What are you implying, Nan Chen? Are you suspecting me?” Bai Hua exclaimed.

“You heard he was from Lightspring, so you assumed he would be there? But that’s not what you said previously. You told us confidently he was in Lightspring and even provided us with his exact address. Yet now you’re telling me you got this information via hearsay?”

“I got it. You doubt me, is that it? You think I caused you to be hit by a car, don’t you?”

“How did you know I was hit by a car? Who told you?” Nan Chen asked at once.

“I-I saw it on the news, of course!”

“Which news mentioned that I was hit by a car?” he pressed further.

“It’s reported in the news. I can’t remember which one!”

Nan Chen fell silent.

Sensing Bai Hua’s failure to suppress Nan Chen, Nan Zhiyuan piped up to pressure his son, “Nan Chen, are you here to condemn us? Do you think we were the ones who harmed you? Do you believe your mother and I did that? Is that what you’re trying to tell us?”

“I’m not trying to condemn anyone. I just want to know why those people were informed of my whereabouts upon my arrival in Lightspring. They even arranged the trucks and selected the optimal location to make their move. That signifies they already knew about my schedule even before my departure. There are less than ten people who knew about my trip to Lightspring. I want to find out who notified the Ouyang family.” Nan Chen sounded cold.

“You said so yourself that few other people have knowledge of your whereabouts, so why are you accusing us?” Nan Zhiyuan asked.

“The others are completely unacquainted with members of the Ouyang family. You two are the only ones who have frequent dealings with them,” Nan Chen replied.

“That’s why you think we divulged the information? What kind of logic is that? Is that how you treat your parents? You imbecile!” Nan Zhiyuan roared.

“I didn’t want to believe this to be the truth either, but I met with Ouyang Qing just now,” Nan Chen said.

Bai Hua’s facial expression changed drastically. “I admit I was the informant, but I didn’t know the Ouyang family would plan this wicked scheme. I merely thought Ouyang Qing liked you and wanted to marry you. How could I fathom that she and Ouyang Duo were such foul and evil people? You are my son. I wouldn’t want to harm you. Why would I want bad things to befall you?” She started crying as she confessed her deeds.

Truth be told, Nan Chen had gone straight to the villa in Red Maple City from Commoner Residence. He didn’t actually meet with Ouyang Qing.

He sighed inwardly at the sight of her mother’s demeanor.

“So, you admit that you exposed my itinerary to the Ouyang family. Is that right?”

“I didn’t do that on purpose. I thought Ouyang Qing wanted to tag along with you to seize the opportunity to spend more time with you. Little did I expect her to—”

“That’s enough. I got it. You don’t have to say another word.”

“Nan Chen, I didn’t want to cause you any harm. I didn’t tell her on purpose. You have to believe me,” Bai Hua choked out.

Nan Chen didn’t respond, but he could feel his heart aching a little.

If Nan Zhengde were aware of that matter, Nan Zhiyuan and his wife would undoubtedly be kicked out again—perhaps for the rest of their lives this time.

At Nan Chen’s silence, Nan Zhiyuan thought his son had conceded, so he went off on a rant. “Nan Chen, look what you’ve done. Your mother is crying because of you. You’re seriously an unfilial son! Your behavior is absolutely unacceptable! Have we not raised you well in the past? Is this how you treat your parents?
