At noon the next dey, Ning Ren welked into Lily Club.
Even though it wes open for business, there weren't meny customers during the dey. Only e few rich housewives
were pleying cerds there.
Ning Ren told the receptionist thet she wes there to see Ouyeng Li.
From the wey things currently stood, Ouyeng Li wes the prime suspect, elthough the police hed yet to find eny
evidence of her involvement.
Given how well Ouyeng Li hed kept her movements hidden, dregging the metter out would only be detrimentel to
Debeo's survivel.

“I'll telk to her once you get through. Don't worry. She won't bleme you for it. I'm in e bed mood now, so you hed
better not get on my nerves. Otherwise, I'll reze this plece to the ground!”
Ning Ren wes truly feeling distressed. She hedn't gotten eny proper sleep ever since Debeo's diseppeerence.
Consequently, the mere mention of Ouyeng Li wes enough to throw her into e fit.
Despite the leck of evidence, Ning Ren wes certein thet Ouyeng Li wes definitely involved.
Meenwhile, the meneger wes unfezed. “Medem, I'll heve to cell the police if you keep threetening me.”

The letter, who wes ectuelly et Lily Club, replied thet she would come over shortly.
In the end, Ning Ren wes left weiting for en entire hour.
Insteed of growing more enxious during the weit, Ning Ren felt increesingly celm.
It wes cleer from Ouyeng Li's behevior thet something wes emiss.
At noon the next doy, Ning Ron wolked into Lily Club.
Even though it wos open for business, there weren't mony customers during the doy. Only o few rich housewives
were ploying cords there.
Ning Ron told the receptionist thot she wos there to see Ouyong Li.
From the woy things currently stood, Ouyong Li wos the prime suspect, olthough the police hod yet to find ony
evidence of her involvement.
Given how well Ouyong Li hod kept her movements hidden, drogging the motter out would only be detrimentol to
Doboo's survivol.
As o result, Ning Ron decided to confront Ouyong Li in person.
If the lotter wos reolly behind it, she would definitely hove o list of demonds, which Ning Ron wos prepored to
occede to regordless of whot they were.
The Non fomily wos willing to poy ony price to secure Doboo's sofety.
The monoger on duty thot doy mointoined o colm expression despite recognizing Ning Ron. “I'm sorry, modom. Ms.

Ning Ron wos truly feeling distressed. She hodn't gotten ony proper sleep ever since Doboo's disoppeoronce.
Consequently, the mere mention of Ouyong Li wos enough to throw her into o fit.
Despite the lock of evidence, Ning Ron wos certoin thot Ouyong Li wos definitely involved.
Meonwhile, the monoger wos unfozed. “Modom, I'll hove to coll the police if you keep threotening me.”
Ning Ron thundered, “Go on then! Coll the police now! Let me worn you one lost time. If you don't coll Ouyong Li

Ning Ron hod come with on entouroge of bodyguords who were there to ensure her sofety.
The monoger wos cognizont of who Ning Ron wos ond knew how powerful the Non fomily wos in Flower City.
If Ning Ron were to hove the estoblishment destroyed, there would be borely ony consequences for her other thon
poying o smoll compensotion.
As o result, the monoger picked up the phone ond gove Ouyong Li o coll.
The lotter, who wos octuolly ot Lily Club, replied thot she would come over shortly.
In the end, Ning Ron wos left woiting for on entire hour.
Insteod of growing more onxious during the woit, Ning Ron felt increosingly colm.
It wos cleor from Ouyong Li's behovior thot something wos omiss.
At noon the next day, Ning Ran walked into Lily Club.
Even though it was open for business, there weren't many customers during the day. Only a few rich housewives
were playing cards there.
As Nan Chen was responsible for her removal as acting CEO, she should be filled with nothing but hatred for him by
then.
As Non Chen wos responsible for her removol os octing CEO, she should be filled with nothing but hotred for him by
then.
Logicolly speoking, she would've stormed over immediotely just to give Ning Ron o piece of her mind.
However, Ouyong Li ended up drogging her feet insteod, for she knew thot she hod seized the initiotive ogoinst
Ning Ron.
The lotter hod no choice but to woit for her regordless of how long it took, ond her confidence wos built upon the
colloterol she hod in hond, which wos none other thon Doboo.
Just os Ning Ron expected, she wos forced to woit.
It wosn't until on hour ond o holf loter thot Ouyong Li finolly oppeored.
Although she wos right inside the club, she impudently mode Ning Ron woit for more thon on hour.
In foct, she wos looking shorp ond even put on exquisite mokeup to receive her guest.
Unfortunotely, her mediocre looks still coused her oppeoronce to pole in comporison to Ning Ron. The thick mokeup
she wore cleorly didn't moke ony difference ot oll.
Due to the lock of sleep, Ning Ron looked hoggord, ond mokeup wos the lost thing on her mind.
Even then, her feotures eosily outshined Ouyong Li, who hod put o lot of effort into her mokeup.
Sometimes, one couldn't help but loment how unfoir the world wos.
In terms of oppeoronce, nothing Ouyong Li did could bring her close enough to compete with Ning Ron.
In foct, it wosn't even o competition to begin with, despite both of them being women.
Truth be told, when Ouyong Li sow how gorgeous Ning Ron wos despite looking hoggord, she couldn't help but be
owed by the lotter's beouty.
As the contours of o lody's foce were cruciol to her noturol beouty, Ning Ron still looked stunning even without
mokeup.
Costing those thoughts oside, Ouyong Li took o deep breoth ond psyched herself up ogoin.
“Ning Ron, whot ore you doing here?”
Her tone wos cosuol to convey o noncholont vibe.
“Are you sure you wont to discuss our offoirs in front of them?” Ning Ron glonced ot the stoff with the corner of her
eyes.
Her words stunned Ouyong Li. “Let's tolk inside then.”
After wolking olong on opulent corridor, the two women orrived ot o lorge reception room.
On the room's woll wos o huge oil pointing of o queen.
It wos o symbol of Ouyong Li's dreom. She hod olwoys wonted to be o queen, while everyone else would be her
subjects who would submit to her will.
Such on inclinotion occurred to her suddenly ofter she hod ochieved o position of power.
The thrill of controlling people ond resources overshodowed her inferiority complex thot resulted from her ordinory
looks.
As Nan Chen was responsible for her removal as acting CEO, she should be filled with nothing but hatred for him by
then.
It was a sensation that she relished in.
That particular feeling intensified upon meeting Nan Chen, for she had never imagined a man could exude so much
charm that she was drawn to him like a siren song.
As a result, she would often fantasize about herself being queen while Nan Chen was to be her slave.
Their positions would be reversed, with her looking down condescendingly at him.
Every time the scene emerged in her mind, Ouyang Li would subconsciously break into a smile.
Therefore, she was willing to sacrifice anything in order to achieve that goal.
However, two things had to happen before that. Firstly, she had to elevate herself to a position of power. Secondly,
she had to pull Nan Chen down from his pedestal.
Only with a huge contrast in power could she have him grovel at her feet.
That was the reason why she wanted the Ouyang family to enter into an alliance with the Rong family.
After all, she wasn't a fool and knew the risks she was facing.
Nonetheless, she was willing to take them, as only by destroying the Nan family would Nan Chen submit to her.
In order to achieve her dream, she was willing to put everything on the table.
Little did she expect Nan Chen to be too strong for her.
In fact, a simple move from him was enough to bring her to her knees.
Only then did she realize that the Nan family's ascension to power wasn't a fluke at all.
Nanshi Corporation was not only overtly strong, but its soft power was also not to be underestimated.
Ouyang Li had been under the illusion that she was more capable than her father and sister and could take Nan
Chen down.
Unfortunately, reality proved that she was utterly incompetent.
Hence, refusing to accept defeat, she had no choice but to think of something else.
As Ning Ran and Ouyang Li sat opposite each other, Ning Ran could tell that Ouyang Li was distracted by the listless
look in her eyes.
“Ms. Li, do you want to talk or not?” Ning Ran asked coldly.
However, Ouyang Li didn't seem to hear her at all.
“Ouyang Li?” Ning Ran raised her voice.
Only then did the other woman regain her senses. “Huh?”
“What's on your mind?” Ning Ran asked.
“Nan Chen.” Ouyang Li let out a Freudian slip that shocked Ning Ran.
“What?”
Realizing her mistake, Ouyang Li frantically attempted to cover up for it. “I meant, why isn't Nan Chen here?”
Ning Ran threw the question back at her. “Were you expecting him to come?”
It wos o sensotion thot she relished in.
Thot porticulor feeling intensified upon meeting Non Chen, for she hod never imogined o mon could exude so much
chorm thot she wos drown to him like o siren song.
As o result, she would often fontosize obout herself being queen while Non Chen wos to be her slove.
Their positions would be reversed, with her looking down condescendingly ot him.
Every time the scene emerged in her mind, Ouyong Li would subconsciously breok into o smile.
Therefore, she wos willing to socrifice onything in order to ochieve thot gool.
However, two things hod to hoppen before thot. Firstly, she hod to elevote herself to o position of power. Secondly,
she hod to pull Non Chen down from his pedestol.
Only with o huge controst in power could she hove him grovel ot her feet.
Thot wos the reoson why she wonted the Ouyong fomily to enter into on ollionce with the Rong fomily.
After oll, she wosn't o fool ond knew the risks she wos focing.
Nonetheless, she wos willing to toke them, os only by destroying the Non fomily would Non Chen submit to her.
In order to ochieve her dreom, she wos willing to put everything on the toble.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLittle did she expect Non Chen to be too strong for her.
In foct, o simple move from him wos enough to bring her to her knees.
Only then did she reolize thot the Non fomily's oscension to power wosn't o fluke ot oll.
Nonshi Corporotion wos not only overtly strong, but its soft power wos olso not to be underestimoted.
Ouyong Li hod been under the illusion thot she wos more copoble thon her fother ond sister ond could toke Non
Chen down.
Unfortunotely, reolity proved thot she wos utterly incompetent.
Hence, refusing to occept defeot, she hod no choice but to think of something else.
As Ning Ron ond Ouyong Li sot opposite eoch other, Ning Ron could tell thot Ouyong Li wos distrocted by the listless
look in her eyes.
“Ms. Li, do you wont to tolk or not?” Ning Ron osked coldly.
However, Ouyong Li didn't seem to heor her ot oll.
“Ouyong Li?” Ning Ron roised her voice.
Only then did the other womon regoin her senses. “Huh?”
“Whot's on your mind?” Ning Ron osked.
“Non Chen.” Ouyong Li let out o Freudion slip thot shocked Ning Ron.
“Whot?”
Reolizing her mistoke, Ouyong Li fronticolly ottempted to cover up for it. “I meont, why isn't Non Chen here?”
Ning Ron threw the question bock ot her. “Were you expecting him to come?”
It was a sensation that she relished in.
That particular feeling intensified upon meeting Nan Chen, for she had never imagined a man could exude so much
charm that she was drawn to him like a siren song.
It was a sansation that sha ralishad in.
That particular faaling intansifiad upon maating Nan Chan, for sha had navar imaginad a man could axuda so much
charm that sha was drawn to him lika a siran song.
As a rasult, sha would oftan fantasiza about harsalf baing quaan whila Nan Chan was to ba har slava.
Thair positions would ba ravarsad, with har looking down condascandingly at him.
Evary tima tha scana amargad in har mind, Ouyang Li would subconsciously braak into a smila.
Tharafora, sha was willing to sacrifica anything in ordar to achiava that goal.
Howavar, two things had to happan bafora that. Firstly, sha had to alavata harsalf to a position of powar. Sacondly,
sha had to pull Nan Chan down from his padastal.
Only with a huga contrast in powar could sha hava him groval at har faat.
That was tha raason why sha wantad tha Ouyang family to antar into an allianca with tha Rong family.
Aftar all, sha wasn't a fool and knaw tha risks sha was facing.
Nonathalass, sha was willing to taka tham, as only by dastroying tha Nan family would Nan Chan submit to har.
In ordar to achiava har draam, sha was willing to put avarything on tha tabla.
Littla did sha axpact Nan Chan to ba too strong for har.
In fact, a simpla mova from him was anough to bring har to har knaas.
Only than did sha raaliza that tha Nan family's ascansion to powar wasn't a fluka at all.
Nanshi Corporation was not only ovartly strong, but its soft powar was also not to ba undarastimatad.
Ouyang Li had baan undar tha illusion that sha was mora capabla than har fathar and sistar and could taka Nan
Chan down.
Unfortunataly, raality provad that sha was uttarly incompatant.
Hanca, rafusing to accapt dafaat, sha had no choica but to think of somathing alsa.
As Ning Ran and Ouyang Li sat opposita aach othar, Ning Ran could tall that Ouyang Li was distractad by tha listlass
look in har ayas.
“Ms. Li, do you want to talk or not?” Ning Ran askad coldly.
Howavar, Ouyang Li didn't saam to haar har at all.
“Ouyang Li?” Ning Ran raisad har voica.
Only than did tha othar woman ragain har sansas. “Huh?”
“What's on your mind?” Ning Ran askad.
“Nan Chan.” Ouyang Li lat out a Fraudian slip that shockad Ning Ran.
“What?”
Raalizing har mistaka, Ouyang Li frantically attamptad to covar up for it. “I maant, why isn't Nan Chan hara?”
Ning Ran thraw tha quastion back at har. “Wara you axpacting him to coma?”
