My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 876

Chapter 876 Not An Exception

Tang Jing had not been able to sleep well for the past two days. After much thought, she decided to look for Ouyang Li.

It was clear that Ouyang Li was behind Ouyang Qi's arrest in a foreign land. As for who was helping the woman, Tang Jing had absolutely no idea.

However, she knew that with her efforts alone, it was impossible for her to save Ouyang Qi.

Her only option was to plead with the one who had created the problem—Ouyang Li.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Li had sent someone for her before she could approach the woman. Tang Jing was told that Ouyang Li needed to speak to her and had requested to meet her at Lily Club, which was previously known as Orchid Club, in the afternoon.

Ever since Ouyang Qi's arrest, Ouyang Li had reassumed the position of the acting CEO of Sunshine Corporation. Naturally, she would have a lot to handle at work.

Given that a busy person like her should be working during office hours, Tang Jing knew that it had to be an urgent matter for Ouyang Li to request to meet at such a time.

As such, Tang Jing dropped her tasks at hand at once and headed to Lily Club.

She instantly felt better when she saw Ouyang Li. From the look on the latter's face, anyone could tell that she had not been sleeping well.

The woman had huge dark eye circles under her eyes, causing her ordinary appearance to seem even more unflattering.

Tang Jing could not help but feel curious. Why is she having trouble sleeping as well? Has she not been able to sleep because she was too excited that Ouyang Qi had been arrested, and she had successfully taken over his position?

“Li, you were looking for me?” Tang Jing asked cautiously. Well, I was going to find you too, but you had beaten me to it.

“Li? Are we that close? Do you really think you're already my sister-in-law?” Ouyang Li shot her a disdainful look.

Without retorting, Tang Jing changed her way of address. “Ms. Ouyang.”

“It should be 'Ms. Li,” Ouyang Li said coldly.

What a pretentious b*tch. Your heart is just as ugly as your face!

Even though Tang Jing was seething inwardly, she managed to mask her emotions and greeted in a gentle voice, “Ms. Li.”

Ouyang Li did not respond after that, causing the atmosphere to fall into an awkward silence.

Tang Jing was unable to fathom Ouyang Li's thoughts and felt slightly baffled. Is calling her “Ms. Li” still not good enough? Is she expecting me to address her as “Goddess Li”? She must really be crazy if that's the case!

“Ms. Li, what was it that you wanted to speak to me about?” Tang Jing asked again softly.

“How did you and Ouyang Qing deal with Nan Chen and Ning Ran back then?” Ouyang Li suddenly asked.

Tang Jing was caught off guard by that question. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out.

That happened ages ago. Is she thinking of using that to threaten me? But Ouyang Qi had already been arrested. What can a small fry like me do to her?

Tang Jing was extremely perplexed.

“Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me talking to you?” Ouyang Li snapped in annoyance.

“Ms. Li, it has already been so long...”

“I asked you how you had dealt with them and not when it had happened,” Ouyang Li chided harshly.

“To tell you the truth, Qing was the one who did everything. All I did was to provide her with some information occasionally. I wasn't directly involved in any evildoings.”

Tang Jing was not trying to shirk responsibility and was merely telling the truth. Indeed, she had never actually done anything vicious to Ning Ran.

That was because Tang Jing was a smart woman who knew exactly what she wanted. Her goal was not to harm the families of Nan Chen or Ning Ran but to make use of Ouyang Qing to rise to the top.

Hence, she had left herself a backup plan, which had proven to be the right decision.

“I don't want to know all this. My question to you was very simple. How did you deal with them back then?” Ouyang Li was getting increasingly impatient.

“I'm not sure about the details since I wasn't really involved in the entire process.”

Tang Jing was utterly confused.

Is she thinking of avenging Ning Ran? That would be really strange. The Ouyang family and the Nan family are currently completely at odds with each other. How is it possible that Ouyang Li would ask about something that happened so long ago just to seek justice for Ning Ran? Is she really crazy?

“So, what do you think was the reason Ouyang Qing failed to destroy Ning Ran and Nan Chen?” Ouyang Li continued to ask.

Tang Jing was unable to give her an answer. She could not understand why the woman was asking those questions.

In fact, Ouyang Li's mind was in a mess as well.

She had been having sleepless nights ever since she returned from the golf resort. All she could think about was Nan Chen's handsome face, cold gaze, and disdainful expression.
