The new school was also a preschool under the Nanshi Corporation.
Nan Chen, clad in a white suit, took a glance at Ning Ran from the rear-view mirror. He felt accomplished because she did not realize that he was Nan Chen. To him, this was a sweet revenge.
Nan Chen never thought that he would have this kind of feeling. As someone who had a large breadth of mind, he wouldn’t even be bothered by all these insignificant matters. But this woman changed everything.
“I love it when daddy sends us to school.” Erbao said happily.
Ning Ran remained silent. She did not like it.
“Daddy has his own work. He doesn’t need to do this everyday.” Dabao said thoughtfully.
Though Dabao still did not understand why Uncle would impersonate daddy, he knew Uncle was a busy man.
Uncle had more important things to do. He could not be sending them to school on a daily basis.
Nan Chen looked at Dabao, and thought this boy was definitely to his liking.
“We’ve never asked for his help. He wanted to himself.” Ning Ran was not impressed.
Nan Chen was not bothered by her remark. She is right; I did it out of my own will.
Upon receiving the news that the young masters were coming, the principal, teachers and pupils had gathered at the entrance early this morning to welcome them.
Nan Chen got down from the car, and the principal ran forward to greet him.
Nan Chen did not expect to see all this, and was not pleased with this kind of special arrangement.
Schools were established for education purposes, not arenas to gain mileage. Nan Chen hated it when they were used for the wrong cause.
Teachers should also be good at educating the younger generation, not trying to please people of higher ranks.
This was why he remained cold throughout the process, but he did respectfully nod his head to greet the teachers.
“These two kids are just like any of the other pupils here. They should receive the same treatment.”
“Yes, we will take note of that, Master Xing.” The principal responded.
“Okay.” Nan Chen nodded his head, and waved at the two children.
“Bye daddy, bye mummy.” Erbao was always the livelier one.
Ning Ran waved them goodbye, and was ready to cross the road and hail a cab to get to the filming location.
“I’ll send you there.” Nan Chen said.
“You don’t have to if you’re busy. I can call a cab.”
“I’m not.”
Ning Ran got into the car without saying anything.
Nan Chen thought, I suppose she would be laughing and talking non-stop if Nan Xing were here?
So what should I say?
“How’s your acting job?” Nan Chen did not know what else to ask.
“I’ve stopped working for some time but got a call from a director last night. They’ve found an actress to replace Luo Fei. So it’s going to be my first day at work today.” Ning Ran replied.
Nan Chen was not good at continuing conversations, and he did not know what to say after that.
Very soon, he realized that he was not doing it right, and proceeded to another question.
“Luo Fei has already shot many scenes, right? Those scenes can’t be used anymore.”
“That’s for the best anyways. Her acting sucks. Out of all the cast members, her acting was the worst. It will just lower the quality of the production.”
“Really? I was told that she’s your younger sister? Is that true?”
Ning Ran perked up alarmingly. “Where did you hear this from?”
“I can’t remember but it’s something I heard from somewhere. Is it not true?” Nan Chen thought to himself, this woman must have had done something really bad to the extent that she was too guilty to admit this relationship they had.
“It’s true.” Ning Ran did not deny, surprisingly.
“Then why does there seem to be so much tension between the two of you?”
“Because she’s bad.”
Nan Chen thought, the two sisters had badmouthed each other all this while, but who exactly was the bad person? Or were they both just as evil?
“Has she hurt you before?”
Ning Ran leaned back against the chair, “Let bygones be bygones. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. She has already been punished for what she had done.”
“The crewmembers didn’t actually seem to have a bad impression of her though.” Nan Chen carefully noted.
“Of course! She’s Nan Chen’s girlfriend. Who dares to offend her? She has Nan Chen on her side, of course she could do what she wanted to! It’s funny how Nan Chen still supports her blindly, despite her bad acting.” Ning Ran let out a smirk.
You’re the blind one! Her remark pissed Nan Chen off.
“My brother did so because of the interest of his business. He’s not as bad as you thought. He managed the Nanshi Corporation very well!” Nan Chen felt awkward after praising himself.
“I don’t know anything about your family, but I know that he’s a blur person who cannot tell right from wrong. To him, humans are just ants, and he is God. Sometimes I’m blown away by his narcissism!” Ning Ran said disdainfully.
Nan Chen was so mad; he stepped on the accelerator and sped off. Just as he was about the hit the cab in front, he immediately stepped on the brakes.
These movements had thrown Ning Ran back and forth on the passenger seat, causing her to look disheveled.
“Do you even know how to drive?!” Ning Ran reprimanded.
“Come and take over if you’re so smart!” Nan Chen could not hold back his anger.
“You offered to send me when I was about to get a cab!”
“You ungrateful woman! Do you want me to kick you out of the production? I have the power to do that, you know!” Nan Chen exploded. He had enough of her nonsense.
“Oh, someone has finally learned to get angry, huh? Go ahead, give it a shot! Luo Fei is useless now, and the crew depends on me!” Ning Ran exclaimed. “You get rid of me, and the production will become a failed project. The large amount of money invested will be completely wasted. You want to try me?” Ning Ran let out a cold laugh.
Nan Chen was totally infuriated by Ning Ran’s attitude.
How can a lowly person ridiculously takes pride in her so-called ‘threat’! Just look at her!
What made him even angrier was that she was absolutely right.
We can’t fire her for sure, or else all our effort would be in vain!
“You’re not the only actress in the entire Chinese region! Don’t you dare to be so arrogant!”
“I’m not, you’re the one who threatens to fire me! Hah, just when I thought you were different from your brother – in a way, you are slightly cuter than him – but you two are exactly the same!” Ning Ran mocked. “Oh yeah, you’re twins, that’s why. Same level of stupidity!” She continued.
“Shut up!” Nan Chen hollered.
It was at this point Ning Ran realized she had gone overboard. She could feel the man’s wrath slowly overwhelming the car.
And she was still stuck inside. It would be a disadvantage for her if he decided to run amok and strangle her!
Moreover, she would still need to deal with him when she fought for the custody of her children in the future.
I have to think of ways to pull Nan Xing over to my side. How can I, a woman, deal with two powerful men? It would be a lost cause for me!
At this point, Ning Ran decided to soften her approach.
“Hehe, I’m just kidding, please don’t take it seriously. You’re not stupid. Your brother is. You’re way smarter and more handsome than him. He may have come into this world a few minutes earlier than you, but you’re more capable in all aspects of life!” Ning Ran thought that this might help end the argument.
But it was a failed attempt, as she soon realized that the intensity of shear fury on his face had doubled.
Looks like he is not easily coaxed.
