My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 889

Chapter 889 Perfectly Reasonable

Only then did Feng Wan's expression ease.

However, it would undoubtedly be humiliating for her to immediately change her tune and say that she would not be leaving anymore.

Thus, she insisted, “No matter what, I'm leaving. I don't want to stay here for even a second longer.”

Right then, Nan Chen went to the side. He gave Ning Ran a call, telling her about the situation briefly. After that, he had Dabao and Erbao place a video call to him.

In no time, Dabao and Erbao's faces appeared on his phone screen, whereupon he passed the device to Feng Wan.

“Don't go, Great-Grandma. What is to become of me if you leave?”

Erbao's acting skills were superb. Her eyes shimmered with tears, and her voice was choked, making for a heartbreaking sight.

Even Nan Chen could not resist her pitiful yet adorable expression, let alone Feng Wan.

Feng Wan initially wanted to hold out for a while longer, but she instantly melted at Erbao's imploration.

“Don't cry, sweetheart. I'll stay. I won't leave, okay?”

Following that, Nan Chen shot Nan Zhengde a triumphant look. Nan Zhengde snorted coldly though he inwardly lamented about his grandson's ingenuity.

“It's going to be your birthday soon, Great-Grandma. Erbao and I are practicing singing. At that time, we'll sing for you, okay?” Dabao chimed in.

“Sure, sure! I'll be waiting to hear you two sing. But then, I can't wait until my birthday. Come over and visit me tomorrow, won't you?” Feng Wan was exceedingly excited.

“Okay. Then, you've got to stay. You can't go back on your word,” Erbao reiterated.

“No, no, I won't be going anywhere. I'll stay home and wait for you both.” Feng Wan had finally perked up.

“We'll hang up first since we've got to wake up early for school tomorrow. We'll come and visit you after school. Good night, Great-Grandma.”

“Good night. Here's a kiss from me. Muack!” Feng Wan blew a kiss at the screen.

At that, Erbao giggled. Great-Grandma knows this as well?

After hanging up the phone, Feng Wan swept her gaze over Nan Zhengde and Nan Chen with disdain written all over her face. “I'm only staying for the sake of my precious great-grandkids! It has nothing to do with you two!”

Aggravation swamped Nan Chen.

Never mind if you disdain Grandpa. Why are you also despising me? Wasn't I once your beloved grandson? Now that you've got Dabao and Erbao, even I have become a thing of the past? Oh well, so be it as long as the two of you reconcile!

“It's great that you're not angry anymore, Grandma. But I'd still like to know what exactly happened. Why did you wish to leave?”

Ultimately, the root of the problem had to be resolved. Otherwise, the trouble would still persist.

“We initially agreed on allowing your Uncle Shiren and Uncle Shikun back to celebrate my birthday. Although they made a mistake, they're still my sons. Having not seen them in so many years, I miss them. I'm old now, so I might die anytime and no longer have the chance to see them! He initially said okay, but he changed his mind out of the blue. Isn't that too much? He has always made all the decisions in the Nan family, and I rarely request anything. But this time, it's my birthday. Is there a problem for me to ask my sons to come back and visit me? Why must he disagree?”

“How much trouble could they cause when they hadn't been in the country for so many years? Allow them back for me to have a look at them, then have them continue living abroad. Isn't that simple? Don't tell me they can snatch Nanshi Corporation away once they return to the country?” Feng Wan argued.

It would seem that they had already discussed that matter many times, and neither could convince the other. That was also why Feng Wan had threatened to leave.

“Look at your grandmother, Nan Chen. I can't communicate with her at all. What do you want me to do? Wouldn't I be creating trouble for Nanshi Corporation to allow them to return when I know that they're not coming back to celebrate her birthday but mess things up?”

Exasperated, Nan Zhengde turned to Nan Chen, hoping that the latter would say something.

Naturally, Nan Chen understood his grandfather's reasons. Right then, he was heading Nanshi Corporation, and things were relatively perilous in recent years because the Ouyang and Rong families, the company's two great adversaries, were eyeing the pie.

Big companies might seem as powerful as giants, but in reality, it was a piece of cake for them to topple over.

Therefore, his grandfather did not want to have people stirring up trouble internally when Nan Chen already had to deal with external foes.

For that reason, he opposed the idea of allowing Nan Shikun and Nan Shiren back into the country. In truth, it was out of consideration for Nan Chen, for he did not want to add to his grandson's pressure and burden.

However, there was nothing wrong with Feng Wan's request either. It was perfectly reasonable for an elderly person to desire to see her sons when she was up in years.

“Let Uncle Shikun and Uncle Shiren come back, Grandpa. I think it'll be fine. It's good for us to gather as a family,” Nan Chen stated.

Needless to say, Feng Wan was overjoyed.

Since Nan Chen had said as much, Nan Zhengde had nothing left to say. “Fine, let them come back, then.”
