My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 774

Chapter 774

Ouyang Qi turned to look at Tang Jing. “Did you discuss this prior to my return?”

Tang Jing flashed a bitter smile. “That was Mrs. Ouyang's idea. I didn't get a chance to say anything.”

“Mom, it isn't about money. Back then, if it wasn't for—”

“She treated you well not because she's kind or has feelings for you. She is just an opportunist who seizes the opportunity to increase her chances of success by betting on you. Don't read too much into it!” Feng Jialing chided.

She was right, for Tang Jing was indeed an opportunist.

Women knew one another well, so Feng Jialing saw through Tang Jing at first glance.

However, she was at fault, too. Back when Ouyang Li made things difficult for Ouyang Qi, she didn't expose Tang Jing's true colors but chose to take advantage of Tang Jing's kindness.

Now that Ouyang Qi was about to gain power while Ouyang Li got suppressed, she started plotting how to stop Tang Jing from riding on their coattails.

Tang Jing initially thought she was the victor, but it was in fact Feng Jialing who had triumphed.

However, Tang Jing wasn't easy prey. She wasn't about to give up just like that.

Ouyang Qi wasn't a fool, so he knew his mom was somewhat right.

He had plenty of experience in the dating game, which gave him insight into the minds of women.

In fact, he knew Tang Jing was an opportunist. Nevertheless, everyone in the world was selfish and wanted to achieve success.

Thus, there was nothing wrong about that.

Finally, Tang Jing suggested, “Let's continue eating instead of talking about this matter.”

“Mom, I think—”

“It doesn't matter what you think. We've disturbed Ms. Tang for a long time, so it's time for us to move out. I agreed to compensate her for our time here, so it's all settled.”

“No need for that, Mrs. Ouyang. If you've gotten used to staying here, I can move out. All that I am asking for is the amount of money I loaned Ouyang Qi. It isn't a lot, but I won't ask for more. After dinner, I'll leave after doing the dishes. You can continue staying here with him.”

Ouyang Qi panicked upon hearing that. “Tang Jing—”

“It's decided, then. I don't want any of your money. We're friends, so I should help you when you are in trouble,” Tang Jing said with a smile.

“We should move out. This is your house, so we won't stay here,” Feng Jialing told her.

“Mom—”

Ouyang Qi was about to protest, but Tang Jing stopped him. “All right. Finish your dinner. You can move out if you want as our time together has come to an end.”

Ouyang Qi exhaled loudly. He was initially in a great mood, but the argument had dampened his spirits.

After dinner, Tang Jing did the dishes in the kitchen while Ouyang Qi went to take a shower. He came out to realize that Tang Jing was nowhere to be found.

Feng Jialing told him that Tang Jing had left a while ago.

Without hesitation, Ouyang Qi dialed Tang Jing's number, only to find her phone was turned off.

“Mom, how could you do this? Aren't you an opportunist too? Don't tell me you're not vain. You married Dad as he is rich, right?” Ouyang Qi demanded hotly.

Feng Jialing trembled in anger. “B*stard! That woman is too scheming. You'll fall for her tricks one day!”

Ouyang Qi flung open the door and went out to search for Tang Jing desperately, yet all his efforts were in vain as the night wore on.

Actually, Tang Jing had checked into a hotel opposite her neighborhood. A smile tugged her lips as she stood on the balcony of her room and watched as Ouyang Qi searched for her frantically.

At a nightclub in Livingsfill, the door of a VIP room was pushed open to reveal a slim and pale man fiddling with a small, customized scalpel.

Li Xiaolong was busy singing with his arms around a woman. He thought it was the server bringing him his alcohol and continued signing loudly.

Soon, the lights were switched on, and his song was cut short.

The pale man stood in front of Li Xiaolong and spoke in a sharp voice. “Is your surname Li?”

“Who the f*ck are you? Your long hair makes you look like a woman. Do I know you? Why did you cut my song?” Li Xiaolong was upset to be interrupted.

“I want to find out about someone—”

Before Ruan Anxi could finish, Li Xiaolong interjected, “F*ck you! Can't you see that I am having fun? Scram!”

“I'll only take up one minute of your time. I just want to find out about someone—”

“F*ck!” Li Xiaolong raised his leg to kick Ruan Anxi.

The man was skinny and weak, so Li Xiaolong assumed he would crash to the ground easily.

However, Ruan Anxi didn't fall. Instead, he flicked his hand gently.

“Ah!” Li Xiaolong let out a bloodcurdling scream. “My leg!”

He tried to retract his leg but discovered he couldn't do so. His leg was throbbing in agony, and he felt detached from it.

Ruan Anxi cut his legs three times in three different spots.

These three cuts on his legs had left him in agonizing pain and listless.

Li Xiaolong's lackeys pounced on Ruan Anxi when they realized Li Xiaolong had been wounded.

Ruan Anxi waved his hand. Following that, one lackey promptly grasped his wrist as blood spurted out of his wound.

The other lackey held his neck and stared at Ruan Anxi in fear.

Ruan Anxi might look slim and weak, but he was quick.

He wielded his scalpel with such speed that his opponents were unable to evade his strikes.

“Kneel down, and don't move. If you move, you'll die of blood loss,” Ruan Anxi ordered shrilly.

Li Xiaolong and his lackeys stayed put out of fear.

Slowly, Ruan Anxi repeated, “I want to find out about someone.”

This time, Li Xiaolong dared not say no. “Who is it?”

“A woman with the surname Tang. I can't find her,” Ruan Anxi explained.

“A woman with the surname Tang? There are plenty of women going by that surname in Livingsfill! Do you have her picture?”

“No.”

“Then do you know where she lives?”

Ruan Anxi shook his head. “You're a fool. If I knew where she lives, why would I come to you?”

Li Xiaolong thought about it and realized he was right.

“She has many subordinates as well as powerful connections. She also has two kids, but I'm not sure if they are hers,” Ruan Anxi added.

Ruan Anxi's subordinates were all killed, so he ordered his men to get the information from the town at the border.

He didn't even know if the information was true, but he had no other option than to give it a shot.

One thing he was sure of was that his subordinate kidnapped the wrong person. The woman they kidnapped wasn't Ning Ran.

Later, a lot of evidence proved that Ning Ran was in Flower City when his men kidnapped that woman.

If that was the case, Ruan Anxi had to find Lu Jingyuan before using her to find her powerful backer. His subordinates had died in the backer's subordinates' hands, so he refused to let the matter slide.

Ruan Anxi's words merely served to increase Li Xiaolong's confusion. Li Xiaolong knew Lu Jingyuan, but he wasn't aware that the latter had two kids.

“I don't know who you're talking about,” Li Xiaolong told him helplessly.
