Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 756

It was the last day of Ning Ran's vacation in Flower City. She would need to head back to Livingsfill tomorrow to continue with the filming.

If all went well, the scenes at Livingsfill could be finished within two weeks. The following filming schedule and location were not made known to Ning Ran yet.

Ning Ran also had not decided if she wanted to bring the children back to Livingsfill.

As her mind was preoccupied, Ning Ran failed to memorize her lines even after looking at the script for a long while.

She required a clear mind and absolute concentration when memorizing her lines.

At that moment, her phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number.

Ning Ran lazily took her phone from the side of the pillow and answered the call. “Who is this?”

“Are you Ning Ran?” The other party sounded a bit impolite.

“I am. You are?”

“Ouyang Li.”

That unfamiliar name did not immediately register in her mind. After all, she wasn't at all close with Ouyang Li.

But then she quickly remembered Nan Chen telling her yesterday that Ouyang Li would be asking a favor from her, and she was to agree to her request. In exchange, she would propose for Ouyang Li to assist her in finding out Ding Fei's background.

“Oh,” Ning Ran responded indifferently.

“You should know the reason I called, right?” Ouyang Li asked.

“No, I don't.”

“Stop putting on an act.”

Ning Ran could not stand her rudeness. You actually have the audacity to speak to me like that when you have a favor to ask?

Hence, she hung up the call.

Ouyang Li called again, but Ning Ran refused to answer.

She only answered when the former called the third time.

“I would like to meet up with you.” Ouyang Li's tone became more courteous.

Though she was furious, she had to swallow her pride because she was the one who needed Ning Ran's help.

“Oh,” Ning Ran replied lazily.

“Could you come to Lily Club then? I'll treat you to a drink.”

“Lily Club?”

“It was formerly known as Orchid Club.”

“I'm not going there,” Ning Ran declined outright.

“Why?”

“I don't like that kind of place. It's full of conspiracies and hypocritic people,” Ning Ran answered without mincing her words.

“Where would you like to meet then?”

“I'll tell you when I think of one.” Upon saying that, Ning Ran hung up the phone.

At the other end of the line, Ouyang Li was so annoyed that she almost smashed her phone onto the floor.

Ning Ran did not intend to irritate Ouyang Li on purpose. She genuinely hadn't thought of a suitable venue, but she was against going to Orchid Club as it would be dangerous, given her feud with the Ouyang family.

As for where would be a suitable venue, Ning Ran absolutely had no idea. She decided to ask Nan Chen for his opinion.

She gave Nan Chen a call. He told her to accept Ouyang Li's proposal of meeting at Orchid Club and bring Qiao Zhan along as protection. That would make Ouyang Li think Ning Ran was a courageous and confident person.

Even if Orchid Club was a beast's lair, Ning Ran would not be in danger as long Qiao Zhan was present.

Ning Ran thought about it and felt that what Nan Chen said made sense. The fact that I agreed to meet her at Orchid Club despite knowing the place is the Ouyang family's territory means I'm confident.

Ouyang Li called again after ten minutes. Ning Ran told her that they would meet at Orchid Club.

Ouyang Li rolled her eyes, thinking that Ning Ran was messing around with her, but she could not do anything about it.

A while later, Ning Ran appeared at Orchid Club together with Qiao Zhan.

Orchid Club had now been renamed as Lily Club and underwent a revamp. It looked more luxurious than before.

Ning Ran took a liking to the new feminocentric renovation style. Most other clubs were designed to appeal to businessmen, for their clientele was mainly men.

It was rare to see a club, such as this one owned by the Ouyang family, specially designed for females.

With the reliable Qiao Zhan behind her, Ning Ran indeed felt much safer.

Further, Qiao Zhan had stationed several men around the club, ensuring that Ning Ran had an immediate escape route should anything happen.

Ouyang Li was already at the entrance to receive Ning Ran. She took a closer look at the latter. Although Ning Ran was a mother of two, she could easily pass off as a freshman who recently entered college with her youthful face and innocent charm.

Some people were favored by the gods, gifted with traits that could only be attained naturally and not through hard work.

Ning Ran's beauty was an example of God's gift. Her face had not been altered in any way and was already so stunning that anyone regardless of gender would stare in awe.

Even Ouyang Qing felt slightly jealous when she first saw Ning Ran, let alone Ouyang Li, who did not have a pretty face to begin with.

Seeing Ning Ran in person, Ouyang Li finally understood what it meant to feel inferior.

She found her fists clenched tightly, and her nails were digging hard into the flesh of her palms.

Suddenly, Ouyang Li felt immense hatred toward the beautiful woman in front of her. She could not exactly pinpoint why she hated her, but one of the reasons was definitely because of her beauty.

Jealousy was a terrifying emotion; it could corrupt a person's mind, especially in the case of an unattractive girl's jealousy toward an alluring woman.

Ning Ran could see the obvious hatred in Ouyang Li's eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. Why is she looking at me like that?

“Go ahead and say what you want. Don't stare at me this way,” Ning Ran said coldly.

Hearing that, Ouyang Li temporarily snapped out of her emotions. She forced a smile. “Ms. Ning, you're so pretty. You look better in person compared to in the photos. What would you like to drink?”

“I'll pass,” Ning Ran rejected flatly.

“Why? Are you worried that I will spike the drink?” Ouyang Li chuckled.

“Yes,” Ning Ran replied without hesitation.

“Don't worry. I won't spike your drink. I'm not Ouyang Qing; I won't do such things,” Ouyang Li responded indifferently.

“How can I be sure? Anyway, what is it that you want to say? I'm in a hurry to go back and look after the children, so just cut to the chase.”

“You and Nan Chen really have two children?” asked Ouyang Li abruptly.

Ouyang Li herself was taken aback by her own question.

This was none of her business and not part of the planned conversation with Ning Ran.

Why did I ask such a weird question? Ouyang Li was baffled as well.

“What has this got to do with you?” Ning Ran retorted unhappily.

“Nothing. I was just casually asking.”

“I'm warning you. If you so much as lay a finger on my children like Ouyang Qing did, I'll kill you,” Ning Ran warned with a glacial tone.

“There's no need for you to dirty your hands, Madam. Whoever dares to harm Little Master and Little Miss, I'll make sure their whole family is eliminated!” Qiao Zhan bellowed.

Ning Ran glanced at Qiao Zhan with gratitude in her eyes. His words were firm and determined, spoken right from the bottom of his heart.

“I would like to speak with Ms. Ning in private. Can you wait outside for a while?” Ouyang Li glanced at Qiao Zhan.

“No,” answered Qiao Zhan and Ning Ran simultaneously.

“Ms. Ning, isn't it awkward for a man to stand here and listen to two ladies talking?” Ouyang Li could not understand Ning Ran's insistence to have Qiao Zhan around.

“He works for me, so he's allowed to stay here and listen to our conversation. There's no need to make him leave. If he has to leave, then I'll leave as well.” said Ning Ran, her tone non-negotiable.

“All right, fine.” Ouyang Li had no choice but to relent.

Then, they both went silent, saying nothing further.

Ouyang Li had hoped to speak with Ning Ran about her predicament at Sunshine Corporation because Qiao Zhan mentioned before that Ning Ran was capable of helping her resolve her problem.

However, after seeing Ning Ran in person, she had second thoughts. Ning Ran was not the iron lady she had envisaged to be. Instead, she looked meek and soft. The only merit she had was her beauty.

She did not think a woman like Ning Ran could help her resolve the issue of her being usurped at Sunshine Corporation.

Should I tell her or not?

Heoring thot, Ouyong Li tempororily snopped out of her emotions. She forced o smile. “Ms. Ning, you're so pretty. You look better in person compored to in the photos. Whot would you like to drink?”

“I'll poss,” Ning Ron rejected flotly.

“Why? Are you worried thot I will spike the drink?” Ouyong Li chuckled.

“Yes,” Ning Ron replied without hesitotion. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Don't worry. I won't spike your drink. I'm not Ouyong Qing; I won't do such things,” Ouyong Li responded indifferently.

“How con I be sure? Anywoy, whot is it thot you wont to soy? I'm in o hurry to go bock ond look ofter the children, so just cut to the chose.”

“You ond Non Chen reolly hove two children?” osked Ouyong Li obruptly.

Ouyong Li herself wos token obock by her own question.

This wos none of her business ond not port of the plonned conversotion with Ning Ron.

Why did I osk such o weird question? Ouyong Li wos boffled os well.

“Whot hos this got to do with you?” Ning Ron retorted unhoppily.

“Nothing. I wos just cosuolly osking.”

“I'm worning you. If you so much os loy o finger on my children like Ouyong Qing did, I'll kill you,” Ning Ron worned with o glociol tone.

“There's no need for you to dirty your honds, Modom. Whoever dores to horm Little Moster ond Little Miss, I'll moke sure their whole fomily is eliminoted!” Qioo Zhon bellowed.

Ning Ron glonced ot Qioo Zhon with grotitude in her eyes. His words were firm ond determined, spoken right from the bottom of his heort.

“I would like to speok with Ms. Ning in privote. Con you woit outside for o while?” Ouyong Li glonced ot Qioo Zhon.

“No,” onswered Qioo Zhon ond Ning Ron simultoneously.

“Ms. Ning, isn't it owkword for o mon to stond here ond listen to two lodies tolking?” Ouyong Li could not understond Ning Ron's insistence to hove Qioo Zhon oround.

“He works for me, so he's ollowed to stoy here ond listen to our conversotion. There's no need to moke him leove. If he hos to leove, then I'll leove os well.” soid Ning Ron, her tone non-negotioble.

“All right, fine.” Ouyong Li hod no choice but to relent.

Then, they both went silent, soying nothing further.

Ouyong Li hod hoped to speok with Ning Ron obout her predicoment ot Sunshine Corporotion becouse Qioo Zhon mentioned before thot Ning Ron wos copoble of helping her resolve her problem.

However, ofter seeing Ning Ron in person, she hod second thoughts. Ning Ron wos not the iron lody she hod envisoged to be. Insteod, she looked meek ond soft. The only merit she hod wos her beouty.

She did not think o womon like Ning Ron could help her resolve the issue of her being usurped ot Sunshine Corporotion.

Should I tell her or not?
