My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 1055 Her Younger Self
Nan Chen quietly gazed at Nan Xing, hoping to discern the latter's exact goal from the face that was almost identical to his.
Alas, he could not glean anything. All he could see was solemnity.
“You're not an ordinary employee, so you can't just resign on a whim. You know very well the importance of your role in the
company. Although Nanshi Corporation is led by the Nan family, there's a mixture of various forces in this organization. Having
you here eases a lot of the pressure on me,” he uttered calmly.
Nan Xing remained silent.
In truth, he understood that.
But even so, he wanted to resign, for he also felt hurt.
He had finally found a woman he fancied.
He loved her to the core, but just as he was about to make an effort to pursue her, she was suddenly driven away in a fit of
anger.
That gave him a sudden feeling of being lost and unsettled, a profound sense of aggravation welling within him.
“I'm not joking around, Chen. I really want to leave. Back then, I was the one who brought Lu Jingyuan here from the capital.
Now that she has left in a huff, I want to go with her.”
Nan Chen abruptly jerked his head up. “Not only are you resigning, but you're also leaving Flower City?”
“Yes. I owe it to her. I need to take her back to the capital and stay with her there until she changes her mind one day and is
willing to return to Flower City with me. Only then will I come back,” Nan Xing replied.
“You've made up your mind about this?” Nan Chen asked.
“Yes, that's my decision,” Nan Xing answered.
“Are you really going to do this for a woman?” Nan Chen questioned coldly.

“Would you be upset if Grandma made Ning Ran leave in a fit of pique, Chen?”
“Yeah,” Nan Chen replied without hesitation.
However, the conversation then took a turn as he continued, “But I won't abandon everything to follow her. As a descendant of
the Nan family, we have our own responsibilities to bear. We can't just do as we please.”
Nan Xing nodded. “I agree with that, but shouldn't we also have our own lives apart from our duties?”
“Of course.”
“There you have it. I'm leaving.”
“If the higher-ups in the company were to learn that you resigned because of Lu Jingyuan, you'll become a laughingstock. They
will say you're unfit to be entrusted with anything, a mediocre man who prefers the love of a woman over his career,” Nan Chen
warned.
“That's just who I am,” said Nan Xing.
Words promptly eluded Nan Chen.
Meanwhile, Lu Jingyuan knew that it was definitely Nan Xing's doing that her two children were not coming home.
Nonetheless, she was unbothered since she could just change her flight ticket.
They would be leaving sooner or later, so she had no problem allowing them to play with Ning Ran's two children for a few more
days.
In fact, she could enjoy some peace and quiet by herself. It was quite nice to read some books at home.
Someone knocked on the door. Lu Jingyuan opened it, only to be greeted by the sight of the elegantly dressed and dignified
Feng Wan standing there.
Even though she had aged, her regality remained undiminished. She exuded a unique aura of her own while standing there.
Lu Jingyuan was taken aback. Why is the mistress of the Nan family here?
“May I come in, Ms. Lu?” Feng Wan asked placidly.

“Of course. Please come in,” Lu Jingyuan replied politely.
Even though there was some discord among them both, basic etiquette still needed to be maintained.
The housekeeper who came along inclined her head respectfully to Lu Jingyuan but did not enter the house. Instead, she waited
downstairs.
Feng Wan sat down before taking the water Lu Jingyuan poured for her.
“Have you been living here all along?”
She glanced around at the surroundings. Although such a house could be considered a mansion for the average person, it was
undeniably very ordinary for the Nan family.
“Yes,” Lu Jingyuan replied.
“Nanshi Corporation's real estate company also has villas. Why didn't you move there?” she asked.
Considering Nan Xing's financial capabilities, it would be a piece of cake for him to buy Lu Jingyuan a villa within the company.
In other words, she was questioning whether Nan Xing bought the latter a house.
“I bought this house myself.”
Lu Jingyuan also discerned the implicit meaning in her words and responded quite straightforwardly.
Feng Wan nodded, indicating her belief.
“I own two properties in the capital, purchased with my hard-earned money. Given the real estate prices there, I could easily buy
three such houses if I sell one of them,” Lu Jingyuan expounded.
This time, the meaning behind her words was even more distinct—she was not strapped for cash, and she certainly did not need
a man to support her.
Feng Wan naturally understood it. She nodded with a smile.
Lu Jingyuan's imperious demeanor and inviolable aura clearly indicated her noble upbringing, and she could perceive it at a
single glance.

Since she was from a wealthy family, she undoubtedly did not lack money.
That was an easy conclusion to draw.
“Having you resign was my idea,” Feng Wan stated bluntly.
Since the younger generation was so straightforward, it went without saying that she should appear even more unpretentious as
an elder.
Lu Jingyuan remained silent.
That did not matter to her. Ultimately, someone wanted her to resign. It was all the same to her, no matter who it was from the
Nan family.
“I wanted you to resign because I suspected you told others about Nan Zhengde falling ill. I found it intolerable, so I wanted you
to leave,” Feng Wan continued.
Lu Jingyuan nodded.
At that, Feng Wan was very much surprised.
If it were someone else, the person would certainly explain right away that it wasn't her who leaked the news, and so on.
However, Lu Jingyuan did not do that. Not only did she neglect to explain a single word, but she even nodded in response to
Feng Wan's remark.
Why did she nod? Was it to indicate an understanding of the reason I wanted to drive her away? Is she truly that magnanimous?
“Aren't you going to explain things?” Feng Wan could not help but ask.
“No,” Lu Jingyuan shook her head.
“Why?” Feng Wan pressed.
“If you believe it to be so, then so be it. I have no obligation to prove my innocence,” said Lu Jingyuan.
Sure enough, she's arrogant! Feng Wan was having a hard time keeping her temper in check.

No one had ever dared to speak to her with such an attitude.
Such dismissive attitude really enraged her greatly.
If Lu Jingyuan were to show a bit of humility, there would still be room for negotiation on that matter.
But she simply would not back down, her attitude incredibly firm.
That was downright infuriating.
“Actually, I didn't come today to hear your explanation either.”
Feng Wan urged herself to stay calm, striving to maintain her composure.
She felt that the woman in front of her was somewhat like her younger self.
On top of that, the woman's temper was even worse than hers when she was younger.
Considering her temper, wouldn't Nan Xing suffer constantly if he were to get together with her?
She initially felt a touch guilty. But following that thought, she believed that she had indeed done the right thing.
The Nan family is a wealthy family. Why should we have a daughter-in-law who would put her husband through the wringer?
Lu Jingyuan remained silent, merely listening quietly.
“My main reason for visiting you is to tell you that you can't have Nan Xing leave with you,” Feng Wan declared.
Once again, Lu Jingyuan was taken aback.
What does she mean now? What does it mean by Nan Xing leaving with me? Where is he going with me?
Lu Jingyuan had a blank look on her face, which had Feng Wan somewhat skeptical.
Does she not know that Nan Xing is making a fuss about resigning and insisting on going to the capital city with her? How could
she possibly be ignorant? Wasn't it her who manipulated him into doing this?
“He has already submitted his resignation to the company, but as the deputy CEO of the board, his resignation needs to be
approved by the board of directors. Most importantly, it requires the consent of the elders of the Nan family. And clearly, I can't

agree to that.”
