My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 1004 Sly As A Fox

Naturally, Ning Ran merely wanted to test Rong Xiao.

The latter assured her that he was willing to do anything for her. However, Ning Ran couldn't help but wonder if his promise was only limited to just financial-related matters.

When it came to deciding whether to turn Rong Jilin over to the police, it was not solely Rong Xiao's call to make.

The one who should decide was Nan Chen.

In other words, if Nan Chen deemed it necessary to have the police apprehend Rong Jilin, he would still take action even if Rong Xiao disagreed. Ning Ran would stand by Nan Chen's decision too.

To her surprise, Rong Xiao actually agreed to Ning Ran's request.

“Wait,” interjected Ning Ran, trying to stop him.

Confused, Rong Xiao gazed at Ning Ran. “I must admit that I haven't been able to guide him properly. He has been straying further from the right path. It's only a matter of time before he gets captured. I'm already grateful for you for not handing him over to the police immediately.”

“There's no rush,” said Ning Ran.

Rong Xiao then pocketed his phone, a sudden realization dawning upon him—Ning Ran might have been testing him.

“I genuinely feel apologetic to you. I'm deeply ashamed of Rong Jilin's behavior. It's my responsibility as his father to teach him, so it's my fault too. I'm really sorry. Regardless of any lingering animosity between our families, the children are still innocent. Harming children is an unforgivable sin.”

Rong Xiao's words were sincere, devoid of any pretense.

His words triggered a question in Ning Ran's mind. “What grudge exists between the Nan family and the Rong family?”

She was genuinely curious about this matter. But oddly enough, even Nan Chen was unaware of the full story.

While Nan Zhengde entrusted Nan Chen to lead the Nan family, he remained tight-lipped about the underlying enmity between the Nan and Rong families.

Rong Xiao's expression froze. “You don't know?”

Ning Ran shook her head. “I don't.”

“In other words, Nan Chen doesn't know too.”

As expected, Rong Xiao was a seasoned man. He hit the nail on the head.

The business elites from the older generation were as sly as a fox.

Even if the tiniest hints were revealed in the conversation, they could figure out almost the entire picture.

Ning Ran did not deny it.

“Let Nan Chen tell you about it. If you find out but keep it a secret from him, you'll feel uneasy. But it's not appropriate for you to tell him directly. Whatever secrets his grandfather refuses to share are undoubtedly not pleasant ones. It might be better if you remain oblivious.”
