My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 888

Chapter 888 Just Admit To It

Midway through the dinner with Lu Jingyuan and the others, Nan Chen received a call from his butler, Chai Hua. The man said that Feng Wan and Nan Zhengde had a row, asking whether Nan Chen could make a trip home.

When Nan Chen heard that, shock flooded him. Things have always been harmonious between them. Why did they suddenly have an argument?

Thus, he asked Ning Ran to keep Lu Jingyuan and the others company while he headed to Commoner Residence.

The fight was over, and the courtyard was as peaceful as ever. However, Chai Hua revealed that Feng Wan was directing the housekeepers to pack her luggage, for she wanted to go back to her parents' place.

At that, Nan Chen's shock intensified.

Whoa! It must have been a huge row that she's threatening to go to back her parents' place despite being up in years! Hmm, I wonder if all women find their parents' house a safe harbor, regardless of their age.

Verily, he knew little about his grandmother's family. All he knew was they were among the first group of Eurasians who migrated to Norham back then. Later, their business expanded, and they settled down abroad.

At the beginning of Nanshi Corporation's establishment, most of the funds came from them. Subsequently, however, contact between the two families dwindled.

He heard they were coming for his grandmother's birthday this time, but he had not expected the latter to threaten to leave home before the joyous event.

Nan Chen did not bother seeking his grandmother out first because he knew the crux of the matter was not on her but on his grandfather.

Grandpa must have said something to infuriate Grandma that she snapped and is now clamoring to go back to her parents' place though she's advanced in years.

When he entered his grandfather's study room, he found that the man was not writing. That aside, the floor was littered with books. Whoa! It looks like he flew into a towering rage.

“What happened, Grandpa?”

Crouching, he picked up the books on the floor and dusted them off one by one before putting them on the table neatly.

“I'm about to burst a blood vessel!” Nan Zhengde was livid, and he even slammed his hand on the table.

Seeing that, Nan Chen went over, massaging his shoulders and patting him on the back in comfort.

“You've always been calm and a role model to me. Why are you so irritable today? I don't even know what to say,” Nan Chen murmured.

“Go and ask your grandmother. Don't ask me.” Still, Nan Zhengde fumed.

“Grandma is having the housekeepers pack her luggage. She said she'd like to go back to her parents' place. That's in Xyperia, yes? I've already told Jiang Zhe to book a flight ticket for her. Considering her age, I'm worried, so I'm going to send her over personally. When we arrive, I can explain things to her family if they ask,” Nan Chen stated calmly.

Upon hearing that, Nan Zhengde grew even more furious. “She's being absurd, and you're playing along with her? What's this nonsense about going back to her parents' place when she's already up in years? And you even booked her a flight ticket? Have you lost your mind as well?”

In response, Nan Chen shrugged. “I can't let her leave alone, can I? What if something were to happen to her at her advanced age?”

“Have you really gone mad? She can't be allowed to leave! What have I ever done to betray her? All these years, I've compromised with her in everything! What else does she want? Is she deliberately making me a laughingstock to run away from home at her age?” Nan Zhengde roared.

“She isn't allowed to leave?” Nan Chen repeated.

“Of course not! How could she possibly be allowed to leave? Hurry up and go stop her!”

“Even so, I can't stop her. You know Grandma is very temperamental. She must be really hurt that she now suddenly wants to leave when she'd never kicked up a fuss all these years. You should be the one stopping her. I can't accomplish that.” Nan Chen shrugged.

“Me?”

“Yeah. The only person who can defuse the situation is the one who triggered it in the first place. Who is Grandma putting a show on for by threatening to leave? No one can persuade her otherwise except you,” Nan Chen asserted.

“No way. Why must I do so when I didn't do anything wrong?” Nan Zhengde retorted.
