Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

However, the woman on the other end of the line had already hung up before Ning Ran could finish her sentence.

Qiao Zhan fumed, “Ms. Ning, this woman is so unfriendly. She doesn't even want to see us and wants you to prove

your identity. She's making things difficult for us on purpose.”

“Perhaps she became wary and suspected us to have ulterior motives because you found her address. We have to

think of a way to deal with this misunderstanding.”

“How do we deal with it? She simply doesn't want to meet us! I will bring some men and drag her out!” Qiao Zhan

roared.

“Hey, don't go causing trouble. She may really call the police if you do that. Let me try.”

Ning Ran got down the car and walked toward the entrance of the villa to press the doorbell.

After she pressed the doorbell a few times, Ou Ling's face finally appeared on the intercom screen. The latter

indeed looked familiar to Ning Ran. I'm sure I've seen her before.

“Hello, I'm Ning Ran. Ms. Ou, please give me a few minutes. I really need to ask you some questions.”

“Why are you still here? What on earth do you want?”

“I don't have any bad intentions, so don't worry. I rushed all the way here from Livingsfill. I came straight away to

meet you after getting off the plane and didn't even bother to rest. I won't disturb you. I just want to ask a few

questions, that's all. Please give me a few minutes of your time,” Ning Ran begged.

“Fine. Come in and come to the fifth floor alone. No one else can come with you. Or else, I'll call the police

instantly,” Ou Ling relented.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Ning Ran agreed, “Okay, I'll come up alone. Thank you, Ms. Ou.”

Naturally, Qiao Zhan disapproved of Ning Ran's decision to enter the villa alone. “No way! It's too dangerous for you

to go alone. I'll come along.”

“No. I finally got her to agree to meet me. She'll get upset If you come along. Wait for me right here. I will come

down soon. Don't worry. I will be all right.”

“I'm still worried. What if something happens to you—” Qiao Zhan retorted.

Ning Ran interrupted him, “Nothing will happen. Do you think everyone is as malicious as Ruan Anxi? This is Ms.

Ou's permanent residence. What do you think she'll do? Commit murder in her own home? Wait here. I'll be back

soon,” Ning Ran said before dashing into the villa and closing the door.

As she was already rather exhausted, she was panting by the time she climbed up to the fifth floor.

After catching her breath, she walked into the spacious living room on that floor.

Ou Ling was alone in the house, so it was no wonder she only allowed Ning Ran to enter alone.

After sizing Ning Ran up and down, Ou Ling gestured for her to take a seat.

“You've grown up and gotten much prettier. Do you still remember me?” Ou Ling asked.

Upon hearing that, Ning Ran was displeased. Since you know me, why do you still need me to prove that I'm my

mom's daughter? Aren't you making things difficult for me on purpose?

However, since she had a favor to ask Ou Ling, she suppressed her discontentment.

“I do. I remember you were sometimes around when Mom brought me out to play, but I didn't see you often, so my

memory of you is pretty blurry.”

“Would you like a drink?”

“It's fine, thank you. I'm here today to—”

“Sit down first. Have you eaten dinner? I don't eat dinner, so why don't I peel an apple for you?”

“No, it's okay, Ms. Ou. I'll leave after I ask you a few questions.”

Ou Ling poured Ning Ran a glass of water before sitting opposite her and scrutinizing her again.

“Ms. Ou, are you still unsure whether I'm Zhang Ru's daughter?” Ning Ran asked, feeling even more displeased with

how the woman was staring at her.

“No, I'm sure now. Go ahead and ask. I'll tell you everything I know.”

“Thank you, Ms. Ou. Since you're friends with Mom, did she entrust you with any of her belongings? For example, a

USB?” Ning Ran asked, going straight to the point.

“No,” Ou Ling replied without hesitation.

Disappointment inundated Ning Ran. I've reached yet another dead end after going through so much trouble. I

came here for nothing.

“But I heard that the week before my mom passed away, you visited her many times in the hospital, and you two

chatted for a long time.”

“We're friends, so isn't it normal for me to visit a friend in the hospital? And even though I did visit her, does that

mean she'll definitely hand me something?” Ou Ling retorted.

“That's not what I meant. It's just that I've heard from someone that—”

“Who told you this?”

“Luo Fei, my sister.”

“You believe the daughter of a homewrecker?”

Ning Ran found no words to retort that.

That's right. Luo Fei is a homewrecker's daughter and has always hated me. Her words cannot be trusted. But she's

now in a tight spot and needs me to help her. She wouldn't lie, right? Moreover, what good does it do for her to lie

to me and trick me into coming to find Ou Ling? It is meaningless for her.

“So that means my mom didn't leave you anything to keep safe?”

“No.”

Ning Ran grew increasingly disappointed. It seems like this clue has really come to a dead end.

“All right. I have one more thing to ask,” Ning Ran began, but she soon hesitated and stopped talking.

“What is it?”

“Well, um...”

Ning Ran took out her phone and searched through the album for the photo showing a torn half of a calligraphy

painting hanging in her mother's bedroom.

“Eternal love between us two? What is it?”

“This is a calligraphy painting my mom hangs in her bedroom. The other half is cut off, so the signature is also

gone. I want to ask you if you know who wrote those words and why my mom cut the other half off?”

“I don't know.”

Ning Ran could sense that Ou Ling's response this time was not as firm as before.

“Are you sure you don't know?” Ning Ran asked again, skeptical.

“Why are you asking this? Are you married?” Ou Ling suddenly changed the topic.

It was normal to ask about the marital status of a dead friend's daughter, but it was weird to bring it up at such a

time.

“Not yet.”

“But I heard you're close with the Nan family from Flower City.”

This time, it was Ning Dan's turn to respond to a question with another question. “Who did you hear it from?”

“You appeared on the news with the young master of the Nan family, but you changed your name to Ding Mi, so I

wasn't sure whether it was you back then. Now that I have seen you, I'm sure you are Ding Mi. It's impossible for

you to look so similar to her.”

“Yes. Ding Mi is my stage name. Things are complicated between the Nan family and me, but thank you for your

concern.”

“So you're part of the Nan family already?” Ou Ling pressed on.

“Not really. Nan Chen and I aren't married, but we have two kids.”

“Did the Nan family ask you to come to find me?” Ou Ling continued asking.

This question sounds even weirder. This is my private affair. Why would she relate this to the Nan family? Nan Chen

is so busy. He has no time to care about such trivial things.

“I just want to find out about my parentage. This is my personal wish. It has nothing to do with the Nan family. They

have no time to care about my affairs.”

Still, doubt was written all over Ou Ling's face.
