My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 930

Chapter 930 Find Out He Is A Child

In the end, Ning Ran followed Ruan Anxi into his RV.

She knew instinctively that Ruan Anxi would not harm nor abduct her.

The best way to deal with a demon like him is to accommodate him instead. That way, he wouldn't feel like harming me. Having no principles, he has many tricks up his sleeve to force my hand if I were to go against him. In any event, it would be unfortunate indeed to be wrapped up in his affairs.

From his seat, Ruan Anxi stared unblinkingly at Ning Ran.

Suddenly, he made a surprising remark. “Nan Chen doesn't deserve you.”

Ning Ran felt the urge to laugh.

Nan Chen wouldn't be pleased to hear that! Ruan Anxi is something else. Everybody thinks so highly of Nan Chen and how fortunate I am to be with him. Only Ruan Anxi thinks Nan Chen doesn't deserve me.

“You disagree?” Ruan Anxi asked lazily.

Ning Ran was curious. “Tell me, how is he not deserving of me?”

“In every way. It is only because he is the son of a rich man, leaning upon his family's wealth, that he can be where he is today. If you take his ancestral wealth away, he will become as useless as he is common. You, on the other hand, are different. You are like one of those stubborn microorganisms that can grow even in the most barren wastelands, a germ that can thrive in any condition.”

“Germ?” Ning Ran could not relate to that metaphor.

Ruan Anxi chuckled. “My apologies. I'm too used to being a doctor. You may not be able to accept that comparison, but germs are willful, stubborn creatures. All right, let's go with a more orthodox comparison: you are like a tuft of grass that cannot be stamped out but will grow where there's an opportunity. Nan Chen, on the other hand, is a flower grown in a greenhouse. He is nothing.”

Ning Ran was deeply amused by Ruan Anxi's attack on Nan Chen by calling him a flower.

Though she did not agree with Ruan Anxi, it was refreshing for her to hear somebody criticizing Nan Chen amidst the usual praises from everybody else.

“What do you think? Am I right?” Ruan Anxi asked Ning Ran, studying her through narrowed eyes.

Ning Ran delivered her verdict, “A load of bull.”

“Oh?”

“Nanshi Corporation was in a bad place when Nan Chen took over. In addition, the global financial crisis had bankrupted many enterprises. Yet, Nan Chen beat the odds. Employing effective measures, he halted Nanshi Corporation's downward spiral against the trend and sustained a high growth rate. This is something no ordinary person can accomplish. Though you are right about the resources at his disposal, not every man made rich by his family's fortune has the capacity to bring his family business forward. Most rich men's sons know nothing besides squandering their wealth on drinks and movie stars.”

Ruan Anxi cleared his throat. “Didn't Nan Chen court a movie star as well?”

Ning Ran choked at those words and only regained her composure a moment later. “I wasn't a star yet when he met me!”

“So he courted a movie star in the making. Having gone after many women, he must have a keen sense of who would make it big. Didn't Luo Fei become a famous actress as well?”

Ning Ran was once again caught off guard.

“Enough. Nan Chen is a good man, not at all like one of those rich men's sons you described,” Ning Ran huffed.

Ruan Anxi laughed. “If he and I were to switch places, do you think I would have done better than him?”

“What do you mean?”

“If I was born into the Nan family and he became a criminal, would I have fared better than him if we were in each other's shoes?”

Ning Ran had never considered that.

The only thing she was certain of was that Nan Chen would make a terrifying criminal.

Whether or not Ruan Anxi would make a good entrepreneur is not something I can say for sure.

“What a weird question! I'm not going to answer that. Well, my house is just up ahead. Don't get any closer! I'll walk the rest of the way. My family can't know that you were the one who gave me a ride,” Ning Ran said.

“All right. Stop the car.”

Ruan Anxi gestured for the driver to stop. “Consider my offer to finance a movie. Think of it as us partnering up to do some good.”

“All right. I'll have a discussion about it with Nan Chen.”

Ruan Anxi chuckled. “That may mean the movie will never get made, as he would not dare work with me. Perhaps he's worried that I might ruin his reputation.”

Ning Ran opened the door, hoisted the folds of her dress, and strode slowly on her heels toward Raining Pavilion.

From his seat in the car, Ruan Anxi gazed at her slender back as she disappeared into the distance.

Turning around, he downed a glass of red wine he had poured himself before lapsing into a sudden and furious coughing fit.

Without the command, his driver did not dare start the car.

Ruan Anxi did not leave even after Ning Ran disappeared around the corner.

Ruon Anxi cleored his throot. “Didn't Non Chen court o movie stor os well?”

Ning Ron choked ot those words ond only regoined her composure o moment loter. “I wosn't o stor yet when he met me!”

“So he courted o movie stor in the moking. Hoving gone ofter mony women, he must hove o keen sense of who would moke it big. Didn't Luo Fei become o fomous octress os well?”

Ning Ron wos once ogoin cought off guord.
