Chapter 581 I Have A Stipulation
During the drive back, Ouyang Duo’s expression remained as dark as thunder. He initially planned to go to the Nan residence to
feel the Nan family out and put some pressure on them, but he ended up being disparaged by Nan Chen until he slinked away
with his tail tucked between his legs and didn’t even get to eat a single bite of the meal.
Aware that her father was in a foul mood, Ouyang Qing didn’t dare utter a single word. Unfortunately, Ouyang Qi couldn’t help
urging, “Let’s find a place to have some food! I’m starving!”
“All you know is to eat! How did I raise such a fool like you?” The wrath within Ouyang Duo instantly burst forth. “I’m just hungry.
Regardless of whether one is foolish or smart, he’ll require sustenance. There’s no correlation between the two,” Ouyang Qi
muttered.
“I told you to deal with the woman dating Nan Chen. Why haven’t you made a move yet? Also, I froze his bank card, no? Which
of you is giving him money?” Ouyang Duo roared.
No one dared to make a single sound.
“That’s enough. Stop tearing into me. Why are you venting your anger on me when you yourself aren’t Nan Chen’s match? Ding
Mi is just an insignificant character. Why must you keep targeting her? Do you think Nan Chen is going to change his mind and
marry Qing after you kill her? That’s obviously not happening, so why do such a despicable thing?”
Ouyang Qi was likewise chagrined to the core. His bank card had been frozen recently, so he had been seething over the fact
that he couldn’t simply spend money for his enjoyment.
He was usually blithe and insouciant, but he had hit the nail right on the head then. Previously, he was ordered to think of a way
to sabotage Ning Ran so that the Nan family wouldn’t accept her. Consequently, Nan Chen wouldn’t be able to marry her.
Accordingly, Ouyang Qing would then stand a chance. At present, however, Ouyang Qing had already ruined everything and
couldn’t possibly get together with the man anymore.
Hence, it wouldn’t do the Ouyang family any good, even if they were to get rid of Ning Ran. As such, Ouyang Qi’s remark at that
moment was right on point—Ning Ran was just an inconsequential figure, so there was no longer any need to target her.
“If you manage to win her over, it’ll be a humiliation to Nan Chen! The Nan family humiliated me, so I want to pay them back for
it! Ask her out tomorrow. No matter what method you use, you must make her your woman! Nan Chen regards her highly, huh?
Bed her, and we’ll see whether he can still remain calm and unruffled!” Ouyang Duo bellowed.
“Is this necessary, Dad?” Ouyang Qi exclaimed.
“It’s necessary because I said so! If you don’t do it, get out of my sight! Go far away instead of making a fool of yourself in Flower
City!” Ouyang Duo barked.
“Exactly! Destroy that b*tch’s reputation and humiliate Nan Chen! Besides, have the whole world know that Nan Chen’s woman
cheated on him!” Surprisingly, Ouyang Qing seconded that idea as well.
Their repeated failures and inability to garner any benefit while sabotaging the Nan family in the past few days had the
maliciousness within them surging out. They were then a tad out of their minds.
“I’m never going to do such a despicable thing. Fair competition is fine, but I’m not going to use any disgraceful means on her,”
Ouyang Qi asserted.
Upon hearing that, Ouyang Duo grew all the more livid. “Stop pretending to be a saint! Do you really not know the kind of person
you are? You must bed Nan Chen’s woman tomorrow and push him to the brink of insanity so that he’ll make a mistake! I’m not
going to give up just like this after having plotted and waited for so many years!”
Feng Jialing, who had been keeping mum, finally couldn’t stay silent anymore. “You don’t have to be in such a hurry, do you?
The Nan family is no easy prey, and there’s still plenty of time in the future. Lunar New Year is around the corner, so just table
things until after the celebration passes. Why must you be so frantic?”
However, Ouyang Duo was at the height of fury then, so everything fell on deaf ears. “Shut up! Just do as I said!”
Meanwhile, Erbao got out of the car. She refused to have Ning Ran carry her but walked into the house by herself.
In truth, she was still very weak, but she wanted to feign robustness so as not to worry her great-grandparents.
“Great-Grandpa, Great-Grandma, I’m here!”
Undeniably, her voice wasn’t as resounding as before, and it was because of her physical condition.
“My precious great-granddaughter is here! I’ve got to take a good look at her!” Feng Wan hurriedly went over to her.
“I’ve missed you, Great-Grandma!”
Although Erbao was ill, she remained as honey-mouthed as ever. Feng Wan’s eyes turned red-rimmed once more. “How are you
feeling, sweetheart? Are you experiencing any discomfort?”
“I’m fine, so don’t worry, Great-Grandma!” “What would you like to eat? I’ll have someone make it for you. If it can’t be made at
home, I’ll buy it for you!”
While Erbao still hadn’t much appetite, she randomly named a few dishes in order to make her great-grandmother happy. Feng
Wan quickly ordered someone to prepare the dishes before announcing that they could all eat.
“Whoa! It’s finally time to eat! We weren’t allowed to eat before you guys arrived,” Nan Xing teased while smirking. At his remark,
embarrassment flooded Ning Ran. “Sorry about that.”
“No apologies needed. It must have been difficult for you to take care of Erbao, so hurry up and sit down to eat.” Ever since the
Ouyang family revealed their true colors, Feng Wan’s attitude toward Ning Ran had improved considerably.
She hadn’t despised Ning Ran in the first place, merely feeling that women in the entertainment industry were unquestionably
more complicated.
If one were to choose a granddaughter-in-law between an actress and a wealthy heiress, anyone would show a preference for
the latter. That was nothing out of the ordinary.
Subsequently, they started eating. Actually, Ning Ran and the two children were already eating when she was told to come over.
But since they were there, she still had to eat some for courtesy’s sake.
“Lunar New Year is coming soon. I’m overjoyed this year because we have Dabao and Erbao with us! I’ve been contemplating a
gift for them for the past two days in conjunction with Lunar New Year,” Nan Zhengde commented with a smile.
“Just give them a monetary gift. While you’re at it, give me one as well!” Nan Xing suggested, grinning from ear to ear.
“It’s okay, Grandpa. They don’t lack anything. In fact, we should be giving you a gift. What would you like? We’ll prepare it in
advance,” Nan Chen interjected.
“No, a gift is indispensable. It must have been difficult for them while being out there during the past few years. Now that they’re
home, I naturally have to give them a gift for Lunar New Year. Nan Xing is right. After giving it some thought, I think a monetary
gift is the best. Hence, after discussing it, your grandmother and I decided that I’ll give ten percent of the shares under my name
to Dabao while your grandmother will give ten percent of the shares under her name to Erbao as a gift for Lunar New Year!”
The instant those words fell, everyone was stunned.
Nanshi Corporation was a mega-corporation. No one had ever calculated how much exactly ten percent of the shares under Nan
Zhengde’s name were worth, but they were certainly in the billions.
If they were given to an adult, he or she could even be a major shareholder of Nanshi Corporation with those shares.
“No, Grandpa. They’re still kids, so how could you do that?” Nan Chen objected at once.
“I agree. They’re still young, so they can’t accept such an exorbitant gift,” Ning Ran echoed.
“Listen to me first. Your grandmother and I are in our twilight years, so it doesn’t make much sense for us to hold on to those
shares. However, I haven’t yet made up my mind about their distribution if I were to hand them out. Furthermore, it would also
affect the power balance in Nanshi Corporation. As such, I haven’t figured out a solution yet. But I now have great-grandchildren.
They’re of the Nan family and are the hope of the family in the future, so I naturally want them to be part of the family officially.
Only when they have some shares in hand will they have a say in the Nan family. However, I have a stipulation,” Nan Zhengde
stated.
No one said anything, for they were all wondering about the kind of stipulation attached when he was gifting away so many
shares.
