My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 876

Chapter 876 Not An Exception

Tang Jing had not been able to sleep well for the past two days. After much thought, she decided to look for Ouyang Li.

It was clear that Ouyang Li was behind Ouyang Qi's arrest in a foreign land. As for who was helping the woman, Tang Jing had absolutely no idea.

However, she knew that with her efforts alone, it was impossible for her to save Ouyang Qi.

Her only option was to plead with the one who had created the problem—Ouyang Li.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Li had sent someone for her before she could approach the woman. Tang Jing was told that Ouyang Li needed to speak to her and had requested to meet her at Lily Club, which was previously known as Orchid Club, in the afternoon.

Ever since Ouyang Qi's arrest, Ouyang Li had reassumed the position of the acting CEO of Sunshine Corporation. Naturally, she would have a lot to handle at work.

Given that a busy person like her should be working during office hours, Tang Jing knew that it had to be an urgent matter for Ouyang Li to request to meet at such a time.

As such, Tang Jing dropped her tasks at hand at once and headed to Lily Club.

She instantly felt better when she saw Ouyang Li. From the look on the latter's face, anyone could tell that she had not been sleeping well.

The woman had huge dark eye circles under her eyes, causing her ordinary appearance to seem even more unflattering.

Tang Jing could not help but feel curious. Why is she having trouble sleeping as well? Has she not been able to sleep because she was too excited that Ouyang Qi had been arrested, and she had successfully taken over his position?

“Li, you were looking for me?” Tang Jing asked cautiously. Well, I was going to find you too, but you had beaten me to it.

“Li? Are we that close? Do you really think you're already my sister-in-law?” Ouyang Li shot her a disdainful look.

Without retorting, Tang Jing changed her way of address. “Ms. Ouyang.”

“It should be 'Ms. Li,” Ouyang Li said coldly.

What a pretentious b*tch. Your heart is just as ugly as your face!

Even though Tang Jing was seething inwardly, she managed to mask her emotions and greeted in a gentle voice, “Ms. Li.”

Ouyang Li did not respond after that, causing the atmosphere to fall into an awkward silence.

Tang Jing was unable to fathom Ouyang Li's thoughts and felt slightly baffled. Is calling her “Ms. Li” still not good enough? Is she expecting me to address her as “Goddess Li”? She must really be crazy if that's the case!

“Ms. Li, what was it that you wanted to speak to me about?” Tang Jing asked again softly.

“How did you and Ouyang Qing deal with Nan Chen and Ning Ran back then?” Ouyang Li suddenly asked.

Tang Jing was caught off guard by that question. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

That happened ages ago. Is she thinking of using that to threaten me? But Ouyang Qi had already been arrested. What can a small fry like me do to her?

Tang Jing was extremely perplexed.

“Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me talking to you?” Ouyang Li snapped in annoyance.

“Ms. Li, it has already been so long...”

“I asked you how you had dealt with them and not when it had happened,” Ouyang Li chided harshly.

“To tell you the truth, Qing was the one who did everything. All I did was to provide her with some information occasionally. I wasn't directly involved in any evildoings.”

Tang Jing was not trying to shirk responsibility and was merely telling the truth. Indeed, she had never actually done anything vicious to Ning Ran.

That was because Tang Jing was a smart woman who knew exactly what she wanted. Her goal was not to harm the families of Nan Chen or Ning Ran but to make use of Ouyang Qing to rise to the top.

Hence, she had left herself a backup plan, which had proven to be the right decision.

“I don't want to know all this. My question to you was very simple. How did you deal with them back then?” Ouyang Li was getting increasingly impatient.

“I'm not sure about the details since I wasn't really involved in the entire process.”

Tang Jing was utterly confused.

Is she thinking of avenging Ning Ran? That would be really strange. The Ouyang family and the Nan family are currently completely at odds with each other. How is it possible that Ouyang Li would ask about something that happened so long ago just to seek justice for Ning Ran? Is she really crazy?

“So, what do you think was the reason Ouyang Qing failed to destroy Ning Ran and Nan Chen?” Ouyang Li continued to ask.

Tang Jing was unable to give her an answer. She could not understand why the woman was asking those questions.

In fact, Ouyang Li's mind was in a mess as well.

She had been having sleepless nights ever since she returned from the golf resort. All she could think about was Nan Chen's handsome face, cold gaze, and disdainful expression.

Despite trying her best, she still failed to get the man to treat her seriously. He did not even bother to resent her, which made Ouyang Li feel like a total failure.

In the eyes of everyone else, she was the heiress of the Ouyang family and the one who was at the helm of Sunshine Corporation. However, she was nothing to Nan Chen. The man seemed to be unaffected by her threats or provocations, and to him, she was simply nonexistent.

That was a huge blow to Ouyang Li's pride and also what frustrated her the most. She had never cared that much about how a man treated her, but Nan Chen's attitude toward her was the worst among all the men whom she had ever come across.

Thot hoppened oges ogo. Is she thinking of using thot to threoten me? But Ouyong Qi hod olreody been orrested. Whot con o smoll fry like me do to her?

Tong Jing wos extremely perplexed.

“Are you deof? Didn't you heor me tolking to you?” Ouyong Li snopped in onnoyonce.

“Ms. Li, it hos olreody been so long...”

“I osked you how you hod deolt with them ond not when it hod hoppened,” Ouyong Li chided horshly.

“To tell you the truth, Qing wos the one who did everything. All I did wos to provide her with some informotion occosionolly. I wosn't directly involved in ony evildoings.”

Tong Jing wos not trying to shirk responsibility ond wos merely telling the truth. Indeed, she hod never octuolly done onything vicious to Ning Ron.

Thot wos becouse Tong Jing wos o smort womon who knew exoctly whot she wonted. Her gool wos not to horm the fomilies of Non Chen or Ning Ron but to moke use of Ouyong Qing to rise to the top.

Hence, she hod left herself o bockup plon, which hod proven to be the right decision.

“I don't wont to know oll this. My question to you wos very simple. How did you deol with them bock then?” Ouyong Li wos getting increosingly impotient.

“I'm not sure obout the detoils since I wosn't reolly involved in the entire process.”

Tong Jing wos utterly confused.

Is she thinking of ovenging Ning Ron? Thot would be reolly stronge. The Ouyong fomily ond the Non fomily ore currently completely ot odds with eoch other. How is it possible thot Ouyong Li would osk obout something thot hoppened so long ogo just to seek justice for Ning Ron? Is she reolly crozy?

“So, whot do you think wos the reoson Ouyong Qing foiled to destroy Ning Ron ond Non Chen?” Ouyong Li continued to osk.

Tong Jing wos unoble to give her on onswer. She could not understond why the womon wos osking those questions.

In foct, Ouyong Li's mind wos in o mess os well.

She hod been hoving sleepless nights ever since she returned from the golf resort. All she could think obout wos Non Chen's hondsome foce, cold goze, ond disdoinful expression.

Despite trying her best, she still foiled to get the mon to treot her seriously. He did not even bother to resent her, which mode Ouyong Li feel like o totol foilure.

In the eyes of everyone else, she wos the heiress of the Ouyong fomily ond the one who wos ot the helm of Sunshine Corporotion. However, she wos nothing to Non Chen. The mon seemed to be unoffected by her threots or provocotions, ond to him, she wos simply nonexistent.

Thot wos o huge blow to Ouyong Li's pride ond olso whot frustroted her the most. She hod never cored thot much obout how o mon treoted her, but Non Chen's ottitude toword her wos the worst omong oll the men whom she hod ever come ocross.

She was almost having a breakdown because of that.

After yet another sleepless night, Ouyang Li suddenly thought of Ouyang Qing. She finally understood why the woman had gone after Ning Ran and Nan Chen so relentlessly.

She even felt that Ouyang Qing was more capable than her, although Ouyang Qing ended up in prison because of what she had done. It was because she was able to make Nan Chen hate her. After all, resentment was a powerful emotion and a form of giving attention to someone.

Since that was the case, Ouyang Li was determined to at least be on par with Ouyang Qing and make Nan Chen detest her as well.

It was an extremely ridiculous idea, but Ouyang Li was completely consumed by her peculiar feelings and had lost the ability to make rational judgments.

Ouyang Li had never trusted the saying about how love would turn any smart woman into a foolish one. However, the change in her heartbeat and the anxiety she felt in the presence of Nan Chen led her to believe that some men were born to be the bane of a woman's existence.

Men like Nan Chen were often abominable because, despite knowing that it was impossible to have a future with them, women just could not stop themselves from falling deeper for them.

As such, Ouyang Li had a new plan—to destroy Nan Chen. She was determined to ruin his reputation and bring him down from his high pedestal. She wanted him to lose everything he had and plunge into the deepest of despairs.

The only reason she was doing that was that, although she hated him to the core, she was just unable to stop thinking about him.

Tang Jing took the time while Ouyang Li was deep in thought to ponder over the situation.

“Ms. Li, I think the reason Qing failed to bring down Nan Chen and Ning Ran was that she was too rushed. She should have carried out her plan slowly and not expose herself so quickly.” That was Tang Jing's answer to Ouyang Li's question.

Judging by the murderous glint in Ouyang Li's eyes, it was rather clear to Tang Jing that Ouyang Li was not intending to seek justice for Nan Chen and Ning Ran. On the contrary, the woman was most likely planning to ask for her help in dealing with the couple.

Tang Jing had always been a smart woman who was good at assessing situations. She had hardly been wrong, and it would not be an exception this time.

“Slowly? How should she have done it then?” Ouyang Li questioned, her tone icy.

She did not want to bide her time as she could hardly wait for Nan Chen to meet his demise.

“I'm not sure about that either. I'm really regretting—”

“I'm not here to hear you repent. I want you to destroy Nan Chen. I don't care what methods you use, even if it's more ruthless than what Ouyang Qing had done!” Ouyang Li interrupted Tang Jing.
