My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 522 A Punching Bag

Therefore, no matter how great a tantrum Feng Jialing threw, Ouyang Qing did not go against Ouyang Duo with her.

Instead, she clutched her mother’s hand tightly, signaling the latter to calm down.

At that precise moment, someone else came. It was Ouyang Qi.

“What are you all doing? The internet is now abuzz with our family’s scandal—”

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Before he had even finished speaking, Ouyang Duo struck him thrice across the face.

It all happened in the blink of an eye, leaving him in a daze as he stared at the man blankly.

“This is all on you, you worthless piece of trash! All you know is to eat, drink, and have fun!”

Slap! Another hard blow landed on Ouyang Qi’s face.

Finally snapping back to his senses, he hastily darted to the side. “Dad, get it straight that it wasn’t me who created

a mess this time, but her!”

“Still, you’re to blame! If you had even shown a spark of promise, would I have had to ask a girl to go out and do

such a humiliating thing?”

At long last, Ouyang Duo had found someone on whom he could vent his anger and use as a literal punching bag.

Conversely, Ouyang Qi had already decided to make himself scarce. “So, I’m here to be cannon fodder? You want

to get physical with me, huh? I’ll just leave, okay?”

“Stop right there! If you dare leave, all your cards will be suspended, and you won’t have even a single dime at your

disposal!”

“I don’t mind staying, but don’t hit me anymore. How are we to talk when you’re knocking me around for no

reason?” Ouyang Qi protested.

“Get on your knees now!” Ouyang Duo barked.

“Why should I?” Ouyang Qi argued. “I wasn’t the one who disgraced myself! I only came to comfort you all out of

the kindness of my heart, yet it’s me who’s getting beaten up? How unreasonable!”

“You don’t want to kneel, yes? In that case, get out of here! After leaving this place, you’ll no longer be a member

of the Ouyang family! In the future, don’t spend a single dime of my money!”

At Ouyang Duo’s threat, Ouyang Qi did not dare leave anymore.

He would not care if it were anything else, even if his father were to disown him, but it was a huge issue if he had

no money to spend.

“Fine. If it’ll make you happy, I’ll kneel.”

With that said, Ouyang Qi got on his knees.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Qing strode over and kicked him several times.

“Just beat me to death!” Ouyang Qi wailed exaggeratedly.

“This is all your fault! If you’d gotten rid of that b*tch, Ding Mi, I wouldn’t be in such a passive position! And you said

I disgraced myself? Wasn’t that all for the sake of our family? If the men in the family were capable, would I have

had to go out and humiliate myself thus?” Ouyang Qing lambasted.

Her words were actually very caustic, for the men in the Ouyang family were not limited to Ouyang Qi. Ouyang Duo

was also a man, and he was even the most important one.

Thus, that was tantamount to a slap in the latter’s face, a blow that stung greatly.

Going ballistic, Ouyang Duo spun around and slapped Ouyang Qi several more times.

Ouyang Qi protected his head with both hands, playing the role of a punching bag with much professionalism.

“Don’t be mad anymore, Dad. I know I’ve embarrassed you, but I didn’t want that to happen, either. The question

now is how we’re going to salvage the situation. I’m a girl, so it doesn’t matter regardless of how humiliated I am.

You, however, are a big shot. You still have to show your face in public in the future, so you’ve got to save your

dignity,” Ouyang Qing asserted.

“You’ve still got the cheek to mention that to me? How am I supposed to salvage the situation when it was

something you did? Don’t tell me you want to claim that it wasn’t your doing? Can you possibly whitewash yourself

when countless netizens have seen it?” Ouyang Duo questioned.

“I’ve said that I didn’t want that to happen either! It isn’t just for my sake that I want to marry Nan Chen! Instead,

it’s you who want to take over the Nan family! That has been your dream for years, and I’m just a pawn in your

hands! Now that I’ve failed, you find me an embarrassment. But what if I had succeeded? If I really marry into the

Nan family, how much help would I be to you? Who doesn’t want to succeed? However, failure is inevitable. Do you

not understand that principle when you’ve been through so much, Dad?”

As expected of a graduate from a prestigious university, Ouyang Qing was exceedingly persuasive.

After she said that, Ouyang Duo calmed down considerably.

“Then, tell me—how are we supposed to salvage the situation now?” Ouyang Duo pinned his gaze on Ouyang Qing.

“I don’t know. I’m just a weak woman, so I don’t have the capability to turn things around. Naturally, I’ve got to

depend on you, Dad.”

“Well, I don’t have good ideas either. All I can do is mobilize all available resources and delete the videos on the

internet as much as possible. Nonetheless, it’s impossible to delete everything. Hence, go abroad and lie low for a

while first. When this matter has been slowly forgotten, you can then return. This is the best solution, and it’s also

the only way to deal with this matter,” Ouyang Duo stated.

“No, I can’t go abroad. If I do, I’m worried that I won’t stand a chance anymore,” Ouyang Qi objected.

Naturally, the “chance” she mentioned referred to the chance of marrying Nan Chen.

I’ve been in Flower City, yet I haven’t succeeded in bagging him. If I were to go abroad, I wouldn’t be able to have

anything to do with the happenings here for a long time. At that time, I’ll really be out of the running!

“Even if you stay now, you’ll only be a laughingstock! You’ll still stand no chance, so it’s best that you leave for a

time,” Ouyang Duo insisted.

“I don’t want to leave!”

“You must leave! If you refuse, I’ll publicly sever my relationship with you!” Ouyang Duo threatened.

That remark had a chill engulfing Ouyang Qing. I was once the most outstanding daughter of the Ouyang family,

the pride and joy of the family. Yet, he now wants to sever his relationship with me?

“Dad, it won’t benefit you in any way if you do that for real. Contrarily, it’ll only bring you irreparable loss! Although

my reputation is now in tatters, time will eventually wash everything away. I’ll still be the most outstanding child of

the Ouyang family! Without me to help you, you won’t be able to take over the Nan family. Instead, they will be

taking you down sooner or later! Nan Chen is a wolf, one that lies in wait patiently. Only when I marry into the Nan

family will I be able to control him. Even if I can’t do that, I can at least help you guard against him! Without me,

you’ll never be able to achieve your dream!”

She was panicked, so she put everything bluntly without bothering to be tactful.

“Do you think the Nan family will agree to Nan Chen marrying you when your reputation is no longer intact? Nan

Chen is proud and arrogant in the first place, so do you think he’ll still spare you a single look when you’ve had a

scandal with his brother?” Ouyang Duo bellowed.

“But I can’t give up either!’ the woman countered. “If I do, all my efforts would have been in vain, and I won’t have

an opportunity anymore!”

“You must leave now and go abroad first! We’ll talk about the future when the time comes!” Ouyang Duo shouted

as well.

“Mom…”

Panicked, Ouyang Qing could only turn to Feng Jialing for help.

In truth, Feng Jialing could not do anything about that matter either.

She felt that it was wrong for Ouyang Duo to get physical, but she agreed with his suggestion of sending Ouyang

Qing abroad to lie low for some time.

After all, people would slowly forget about someone when they did not appear for a period of time.

The internet was the easiest place for one to be forgotten. Tons of things took place in the world every day, so the

netizens could not possibly remember something forever.
