Since the duo made their way out of Nan Zhengde’s study room, Bai Hua almost burst into laughter; she could barely hold back her joy.

She couldn’t believe she managed to achieve the plan she had in mind without any problem.

Losing herself in the process of thought, she started imagining her life after Nan Chen got married to Ouyang Qing. Soon, she would become Ouyang Qing’s mother-in-law, a woman affiliated with the Ouyang family.

Indirectly, she would be known as the representative of the Nan family and the Ouyang family. Apart from that, her identity as Nan Chen’s mother and Ouyang Qing’s mother-in-law would put her in a superior position amongst those from the upper echelon.

In short, she had emerged victorious without doing anything.

Nan Zhiyuan and Bai Hua had gotten married for years. Therefore, he could read his wife like a book.

“See? I have given you the opportunity to bring it up in front of Dad because I want you to take the credits.” Nan Zhiyuan tried to please his wife.

“Are you kidding me? Do you think I’m a fool? You’re the one who wants me to take the blame on your behalf if thing heads south!” Bai Hua was aware of his husband’s petty scheme all along.

“That has never been part of my plan. Initially, I was afraid Dad would turn you down. If that had been the case, I would try my best to persuade him to change his mind. However, there was nothing you could do to change his mind if he turned me down after I brought it up in front of him.”

“That’s enough, Nan Zhiyuan! Stop lying to me! Thankfully, he has given in to the proposal! To be honest, I didn’t expect he would agree to the proposal at all!”

“I can’t figure out the rationale behind his decision either. After all, he was the one who insisted on staying out of the youngsters’ way because he wanted them to choose their spouse on their own. I must say I’m surprised because he has given in to our request without a second thought.” Nan Zhiyuan expressed his point of view.

“Perhaps he has changed his mind since he’s getting old? No matter what, we should be grateful. I can finally revert back to Ouyang Qing!” Bai Hua got pumped up as she stated.

It was getting late, yet Nan Chen was nowhere to be seen because he had to work overtime again. Nan Zhengde instructed the butler to summon his grandson home immediately.

Coincidentally, Nan Chen had something to report to his grandfather regarding the construction of South City in Vietnam.

Nan Chen told his grandfather after he returned home, “Wang Shoucai had reached out to Nan Xing and proposed a solution. He told him Ouyang Duo would be able to resolve the issue.”

“How did things turn out in the end?”

“I have already put Nan Xing in charge of the negotiation. I told him to get Wang Shoucai to be the middleman between both parties, but he had turned Nan Xing down. He said he was in no position to meddle with the affair of both families when he was merely an ex-schoolmate of Ouyang Duo. The proposal was the only thing he had to offer.”

“How did things go on Nan Xing’s end?”

“Nan Xing dropped by to visit Ouyang Duo, but the latter wasn’t around as his secretary claimed he had traveled abroad for a trip. Therefore, they didn’t have a proper meet up.”

Nan Zhengde got up from his seat and paced back and forth. In the end, he asked, “What do you think?”

“Perhaps Ouyang Duo has something in his mind. In fact, I don’t think he’s abroad. It seems as though he wants us to prove our sincerity and offer him a certain something. I believe he will be ‘back’ the moment we offer him the thing he’s looking for.”

Nan Zhengde nodded and affirmed Nan Chen of his thoughts, “You’re right.”
