My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

The room fell silent again.

But this time, it wasn’t Sir Chen’s doing. Instead, it was the kid that had surprised everyone.

“Wow, you’re really smart,” Ouyang Qing’s assistant praised Dabao awkwardly.

“Even if you flatter me, it doesn’t change the fact that I know it was you who framed Mommy. I hate you,” Dabao

affirmed.

“That’s right. I hate you too! I hate anyone that tries to harm Mommy.” Erbao backed her brother up immediately.

“No, I didn’t,” the assistant frantically denied as she looked towards Ouyang Qing.

However, Ouyang Qing didn’t return her look as she herself was in a panic.

Neither of them had expected a child to reveal their scheme.

She knew that the children were really smart as she had seen them demonstrate it previously. Even then, their

capabilities were way beyond her expectations.

It was a huge mistake to have underestimated the children.

“Ms. Qing, is she your subordinate? Why does she keep looking at you?” Dabao blurted out of a sudden.

Hearing that, Ouyang Qing freaked out for real this time.

In normal times, Dabao seldom spoke, unlike ordinary children.

However, he suddenly had a lot to say today.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to talk; he was just not interested in idle chatter. However, he would still say

something whenever it was necessary to do so.

Hence, the moment he opened his mouth, he threw Ouyang Qing into a panic.

As for the rest, they enjoyed watching the events unfold as no one had seen such a genius before.

Furthermore, this genius was addressing Ouyang Qing as Ms. Qing. Is Ouyang Qing that weak for the kid to see her

as his peer?

“Ms. Qing, my brother is asking you a question. Why are you staying silent? Are you unable to answer?” Erbao piled

on the pressure.

“I… of course not.”

Ouyang Qing’s answer was muddled as she wasn’t even sure which question she wanted to address first.

She wondered if she should first deny her assistant was acting upon her orders or if she should explain to Erbao

why she couldn’t answer.

“Is she one of yours?” Dabao persisted.

“Dabao, watch your tone,” Ning Ran reminded him.

Ning Ran was just pretending to keep Dabao in check. Her heart was actually screaming in joy when her son and

daughter stood up for her. I’m the luckiest mother in the world!

Dabao obeyed his mother and rephrased his question, “Ms. Qing, may I know if she is one of yours?”

Despite asking the same question, Dabao’s tone was a lot more gentle.

“She is my assistant,” Ouyang answered reluctantly.

“That means she has to obey your instructions?” Dabao cornered her.

Ouyang Qing could no longer hold him back.

This child is too smart! Where did he even come from?

All Ouyang Qing wanted to do was to scream for help at that moment.

“Not entirely. She does disobey me sometimes,” Ouyang Qing frantically defended herself.

“In that case, should I question you about this matter or her?” Dabao continued to shoot her with questions.

“Of course you have to ask her as I don’t know anything. My computer skills are terrible,” Ouyang Qing replied in a

self-deprecating manner.

The moment computer skills were brought up, it struck a nerve with Sir Chen, whose expression became awkward.

He just couldn’t shake the feeling that they were talking about him.

“I know what to do.” Dabao jumped off the chair and returned it to Wang Xiaoou. After which, he motioned her to

sit.

Despite just being a child, his actions were chivalrous and demonstrated his potential for great success in the

future.

“Why did you frame my Mommy?” Dabao interrogated the assistant.

The assistant hastily denied, “I didn’t. I absolutely didn’t!”

“The file only appeared after you did something to it, yes or no?” Dabao questioned.

“I…”

“Yes or no?” Dabao didn’t even allow her the chance to explain.

“Yes.”

“That would mean that you know how to unlock the second layer of security. Can you then explain why didn’t you

share it with everyone else in this room? You hid it from them on purpose so that they assumed that it was Mommy

who leaked the script. That is your real objective, so how dare you still deny that you didn’t frame Mommy?”

Dabao raised his head and glared fiercely at the assistant.

The next moment, Nan Chen’s razor-sharp gaze fell upon her. Lost for words, the assistant’s knees buckled as she

turned towards Ouyang Qing.

“Why are you looking at me? I wasn’t aware of what you did, so don’t implicate me unnecessarily, alright?” Ouyang

Qing snapped.

It was obvious that Ouyang Qing was trying to save her own skin by distancing herself from her assistant.

“I didn’t,” the assistant pleaded in despair.

Her boss had made her stand clear. She was by no means to drag Ouyang Qing along with her. Or else, she would

lose her job.

At that moment, the assistant understood that she had to sacrifice herself to protect her boss.

“I had no intention of framing Ms. Ding. I, too, stumbled upon the second layer of security,” the assistant tried to

deflect the accusation away.

When it appeared that her assistant was prepared to shoulder the blame, Ouyang Qing heaved a sigh of relief. She

was glad that her assistant made the sensible choice.

“Since you obviously knew about the extra layer of security and wasn’t being truthful about it, that’s the same as

framing Mommy on purpose. It doesn’t matter if you admit it or not as the facts speak for themselves. Besides,

Mommy didn’t see the contents in the USB drive, so it’s impossible for her to be the one to leak it. So the only

suspect left is you! As only you know how to bypass the extra security and have access to its contents. While

everyone assumes that it was Mommy who did it, you were the real culprit all along!”

Every single word that came out of Dabao’s mouth was sharp and crisp. The more he spoke, the more gravitas he

emitted.

Watching Dabao handle the situation, Nan Chen felt extraordinarily proud. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!

“I didn’t. I really didn’t!” the assistant meekly denied.

“Miss, there’s nothing between us, so why are you doing this to me? Why are you sabotaging me?” Ning Ran asked.

“I really didn’t sabotage anyone… I didn’t leak it!”

“In that case, we have no choice but to hand you over to the police. A lot of effort had been spent on coming up

with the script, and it’s also considered a commercial secret. As a result, you will be punished by the law!” Nan

Chen threatened out of a sudden.

When the words came out of Nan Chen’s mouth, it sounded especially terrifying.

As long as Nan Chen wanted to, he would be able to punish her severely. There was no need for the police to even

get involved.

In fact, Nan Chen’s punishment might easily be harsher than what the police could dish out.

The assistant abandoned the charade. “It’s my fault! But I was just following orders – leaking the script wasn’t my

original intention.”

At that moment, Ouyang Qing could feel her heart squeeze. Clenching her fists under the table, her palms were

filled with sweat.

“I know that it wasn’t your intention, so tell us, whose intention was it? Who ordered you to do it?” Glaring at the

assistant, Nan Chen looked as if he could see through her easily.

“It’s…” the assistant’s expression became awkward.

“Just spit it out! Don’t beat around the bush!” Ouyang Qing bellowed out of the blue.

Her tone was exceptionally vicious and was out of character with her usual demure demeanor.

“I wouldn’t dare to say it. I can’t.” The assistant burst into tears.

“Why not?” Ning Ran asked.

“Because he has something on me. If I expose him or disobey him, he will punish me…”

The assistant was also great at acting. Actual tears rolled down her cheeks as she put on a devastated expression.

Those that serve Ouyang Qing were all great at faking it. Or else, there was no way they could last by her side for

too long.

“Tell us, who is it? Stop keeping us in suspense!”

“That’s right, spit it out quick! Who ordered you to do it?”

Meanwhile, all the investors and their representatives peppered her with questions. They felt as if they were

watching an engaging drama and were simply thrilled.

“It’s him! He’s the one who ordered me to do it.” The assistant pointed at one of them.
