My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 806

Nan Chen furrowed his brows again and looked at Ning Ran.

“I'm telling the truth. Honestly, I'm not lying this time,” she said in an aggrieved tone.

“What does that have to do with me?” he asked.

His question stumped Ning Ran.

He does have a point. A man Ding Fei doesn't know very well got her pregnant, and now she wants to keep the baby. However, what has any of that got to do with Nan Chen?

“Well, it's true that it has nothing to do with you. However, you could lend her a helping hand,” she replied weakly.

“Why should I?”

“Uh... That's because...” Ning Ran was at a loss for what to say.

I've got to applaud my stupidity. Why do I let Nan Chen's curt responses render me speechless just like that?

After calming down, she finally found an excuse that sounded somewhat reasonable. “Take pity on a life. This is an innocent child's life we're talking about.”

“You're also well aware that Ruan Anxi is a monster with no principles, and Ding Fei is no kind soul. It isn't worth it to offend a bad guy for the sake of another bad guy. Besides, how do you know she won't turn and bite the hand that fed her after she gets through this rough patch?”

She shook her head. “I can't guarantee it. Indeed, she's a rotten apple.”

“So, why are we still discussing this?”

“Ding Fei deserves to die, but I can't help feeling sorry for her baby. Back then, Ning Ziqiang also forced me to have an abortion. Had I not escaped, you wouldn't have had the chance to meet Dabao and Erbao.”

Ning Ran still felt a pang of sadness when she brought up the past. After all, it had been a difficult time for her.

The look of helplessness in her eyes softened Nan Chen's heart.

It's not that I don't want to do as she asks and help Ding Fei. It's just that Ruan Anxi is a tough nut to crack. Helping Ding Fei would be like knowing full well that a mad dog is roaming the streets yet still goes to kick it, ending up getting chased and bitten. If that isn't foolish behavior, then what is?

Although Nan Chen did charitable work, he possessed more of a business mindset. In terms of benefits, helping Ding Fei would be a high-risk venture with practically zero return. Not only would it be risky, but it would likely drag his family into it.

Most importantly, Ding Fei is not a good person. It's not worth it to take risks for her. However, I can't bear to turn Ning Ran down. I really can't. She hardly ever asks me to do things for her. If it's something she can handle on her own, she won't come to me for help. I know that she empathizes with Ding Fei from a mother's perspective. As she said, all she wants is to do more good deeds to gain more good karma for the two little ones. I may not be a Buddhist, but I agree with the idea behind karma. In any case, doing good makes one feel more at ease than doing something evil.

“If you don't agree, I'll just have to think of something on my own,” said Ning Ran pitifully.

“If you don't agree, I'll just have to think of something on my own,” said Ning Ran pitifully.

“Go ahead,” he answered without hesitation.

She was dumbfounded. What the heck? Are you really not going to care about this? Are you seriously going to let me think of something on my own? If I could, why would I come looking for you?

“How can you have the heart to turn a blind eye to this? Do you think I'm capable of dealing with this matter?” she asked, unable to accept it.

“I think that you can,” he answered earnestly.

She let out a cry of protest. “Good heavens! This doesn't make sense. Is there no justice in this world?”

Although he felt the urge to chuckle, he pretended not to hear what she said. Go ahead and wail all you want!

When they arrived at their destination, Nan Chen got out of the car and went to work. Meanwhile, Ning Ran remained in the car, mulling over how to help Ding Fei.

Suddenly, she thought of someone—Qiao Zhan.

I feel as though he'll be able to settle many things. Nan Chen refuses to help me, but Qiao Zhan can. Even if Nan Chen had agreed to help with such personal matters, he'd still send Qiao Zhan to make the arrangements, right? Qiao Zhan can mobilize many resources by using Nan Chen's name anyway, so why don't I go to him directly?

Hence, she took out her phone and called Qiao Zhan.

Alas, she got a busy signal, indicating that Qiao Zhan was on a call.

Meanwhile, the person Qiao Zhan was talking to over the phone was Nan Chen.

“Sir Chen, just as you expected, I got a call from Madam. I'm guessing it's about the incident you just mentioned,” said Qiao Zhan.

“It's not convenient for me to go up against Ruan Anxi directly, nor do I want to provoke a mad dog. That's why you and Ning Ran need to take care of this yourselves. Just try your best. If it works, great. Even if it doesn't, make sure not to take too many risks. Basically, go with Ning Ran's plan. If she asks you to make any arrangements, go ahead and do it and pretend I don't have a clue about what's going on,” Nan Chen instructed.

“All right. Got it, Sir Chen,” Qiao Zhan replied.

No sooner had he ended the call with Nan Chen than Ning Ran's call came in.

At nine o'clock that night, Qiao Zhan led Ding Fei out of the bathhouse where she had been for the past few days.

During the entire car ride, Ding Fei kept thanking Ning Ran. “I did so many awful things to you before, yet you're still willing to help me. That makes me so—”

“That's enough. You can save it with the niceties. You don't have to say anything more. If you must thank someone, you can thank Chief Qiao,” Ning Ran said, cutting her off.
