My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 894

Chapter 894 Is That Schadenfreude

Even though Nan Chen told Ning Ran to speak her mind, she still preferred to be cautious as it involved an elder of Nan Chen's.

Given that someone as outspoken as Nan Xing had to mind his tongue, she figured the issue would likely bother Nan Chen.

“Tell me!”

Nan Chen began to lose his patience at Ning Ran's hesitation.

“Back in the restaurant, Uncle Shikun recognized Nanshi Corporation headquarters at a single glance.”

“Is that all? The building is a city landmark. Why is it strange that he recognizes it?”

“But he hasn't returned to the country for many years. So how did he do so at first glance? Also, he recognized Nan Xing right away at the airport. Considering how close both of you resemble each other, why can he tell both of you apart with such ease?”

Nan Chen pondered for a moment. “You have a point. If neither of us speaks, only a rare few in Flower City can tell us apart.”

He looked up at Ning Ran and asked, “What does this mean?”

Ning Ran shook her head. She was just highlighting what she saw but didn't dare come to a conclusion.

“I don't know. There's something else that I'm hesitant to tell you about.”

“What is it?”

“But I—”

“Out with it.”

“Really?”

“Yes!” Nan Chen felt irritated.

“When the restaurant owner found Uncle Shikun familiar and mentioned that he had dined there with a man and a woman last month, Uncle Shikun denied it angrily, insisting that the owner had made a mistake.”

Ning Ran's words caused Nan Chen to fall into deep thought.

“It's common for restaurateurs to recognize their guests in order to entertain them. Under normal circumstances, they won't be mistaken,” Nan Chen replied.

“That's right. For someone working in the service industry, recognizing one's clients is a strength. It's unlikely they would be wrong. If we were to take into consideration all the evidence, I don't think this is Uncle Shikun's first time back in the country!”

Ning Ran had wanted Nan Chen to come to that conclusion himself but blurted it out as she got excited.

She was so used to being outspoken that she failed to hold back her words.

Fortunately, Nan Chen fell silent and didn't refute her supposition.

“Crap, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions,” Ning Ran remarked regretfully.

“No, you have a point, and this is an important observation. If Uncle Shikun came back before, why is he hiding it? Who has he met here, and what's the purpose of his return?”

“These are all the factors we should be considering. That's why I decided to raise it with you,” Ning Ran explained as the excitement within her grew.

“Mmm-hmm, is there anything else?”

“There is.”

“Go ahead, then.”

“Remember when I told you over the phone that he asked to see the children and we decided to decline? He brought the matter up in the hotel again, asking me to go to his room—”

Bam!

Before Ning Ran finished, Nan Chen slammed the table and jumped to his feet. The abrupt response gave her a shock.

“Did you go?” Nan Chen's voice took a frosty turn, bringing an icy atmosphere into the room.
