My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 878

Chapter 878 Not An Ordinary Person

Although Ning Ran had collaborated with Tang Jing on two productions, their relationship remained at the stage of mere acquaintances.

A certain distance existed between acquaintances, and usually, one would not simply ask for a favor from an acquaintance.

Due to the lack of proximity in the relationship between acquaintances, if one were to presumptuously ask for help and get rejected, both parties would feel awkward.

Tang Jing was a smart person and was certainly aware of that, which surprised Ning Ran when she still asked for help.

However, Ning Ran kept her surprise to herself and smiled. “What can I do for you?”

“I would like to ask you to help me rescue Ouyang Qi,” Tang Jing stated her needs plainly.

Ning Ran was momentarily stunned, for she thought Ouyang Qi and Tang Jing were completely unrelated to each other.

“I have been in a relationship with Ouyang Qi for a while. We met by chance,” Tang Jing explained further.

“Oh, I see. That's nice.” Realization dawned upon Ning Ran.

No wonder Ouyang Qi hasn't been pestering me lately. Turns out he's in a secret relationship with Tang Jing. But that's good, though. Tang Jing is pretty, famous, and one of the smartest celebrities in the entertainment industry. They're a good match.

“But a while ago, when Ouyang Qi went on a business trip to Epea, he was set up by someone. Illegal drugs were found in his luggage, and he was detained. I have thought of many ways to help, but what I can do is limited, and it's impossible for me to save him. So, I need your help to bail Ouyang Qi out.” As soon as Tang Jing finished relating everything to Ning Ran, her eyes reddened.

This time, however, she was not acting; she was genuinely anxious.

Ouyang Qi was the person she had staked everything on. She was hoping that he could take over Sunshine Corporation so she could ride on his coattails and become part of upper-class society.

If Ouyang Qi couldn't be saved, then her hopes would once again be shattered, which was an outcome she couldn't accept.

Ning Ran immediately understood Tang Jing's intention. The latter wanted Ning Ran to seek help from Nan Chen on her behalf.

That was the only explanation, for Ning Ran was merely an actress who wasn't capable of rescuing someone from Epea.

“I'm afraid my hands are tied. As you know, I'm not that capable,” Ning Ran said helplessly, shrugging.

She and Ouyang Qi were friends, but the latter used to be obsessed with her in the past, and Nan Chen was disgusted by his behavior.

If Ning Ran were to ask for Nan Chen's help to rescue Ouyang Qi, she would probably end up annoying Nan Chen again.

If Ning Ran were to ask for Nan Chen's help to rescue Ouyang Qi, she would probably end up annoying Nan Chen again.

Regardless of whether the matter could be accomplished, it would be troublesome if she and Nan Chen ended up quarreling again.

Tang Jing observed Ning Ran's reaction and wasn't surprised, for she had seen that coming.

After all, Tang Jing was aware of how Ouyang Qi used to court Ning Ran.

“I understand your difficulties, but I have no choice but to ask for your help because there are some things I dare not express directly to Mr. Chen,” Tang Jing continued.

“Is that so? Although Nan Chen appears strict, he is actually reasonable. You can talk to him about anything, and I'm sure he'll understand,” Ning Ran replied.

“But I'm worried that Mr. Chen would get angry if he hears about this, and I'm also under a lot of pressure...” Tang Jing said, tearing up again.
