Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 813

Ning Ran did not know what words she could use to console Luo Fei.

She could not promise Luo Fei that she and her child would be fine.

Even though that was what she hoped for, no one could be sure of the future.

“I'll try my best to keep you safe,” was all Ning Ran could say to her.

“I know. Thank you, Ran. Am I to call Ruan Anxi now?”

“No, I just came to tell you about this. We'll be heeding Qiao Zhan's plan; he's in charge of this matter,” Ning Ran told her.

An anxious look crossed Luo Fei's face at that, for she knew that Qiao Zhan did not like her.

Things would be disadvantageous for her if Qiao Zhan was going to be in charge of the matter.

Ning Ran knew what Luo Fei was worried about, however, and she reassured her, “Qiao Zhan will be going through everything with Nan Chen, and he won't execute any step of the plan by factoring in his likes and dislikes. You don't need to worry about that. Moreover, Qiao Zhan is a kind soul. He won't do anything to hurt you.”

“I was unnecessarily worried about that. I did too many horrible things in the past, so...” Luo Fei sighed.

“Let bygones be bygones.” Ning Ran dismissively waved.

Right then, Ning Ran's phone rang. It was a call from Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe told her that the arrangements with the bank had been made, so Ning Ran could now check the things her mother had deposited in the bank.

As Zhang Ru had already passed away, her safe was naturally left without an owner. For Ning Ran to be able to access it, she would need to do the necessary procedures to prove that she was the legal inheritor of Zhang Ru's belongings.

The entire process was rather troublesome. Nan Chen had asked Jiang Zhe to work on it for a long while, and Jiang Zhe had to head to several departments before finalizing all the procedures.

Ning Ran was excited to hear the news, without a doubt.

Nothing was more important than checking her mother's belongings at that moment, and she had to head there immediately.

“I have something to do right now, so I'm going to take my leave. Let's stay in contact. Don't do anything before Qiao Zhan and the others are done discussing the plan, and do stick strictly to the plan,” Ning Ran said to Luo Fei.

“All right, Ran. I'll do as you say,” Luo Fei answered.

She then sent Ning Ran to the entrance and watched Ning Ran enter the car.

“Ran, sorry, and thank you,” she said again.

“I did say to let bygones be bygones. Anyway, do go back to what you were doing.” Ning Ran waved at her.

The driver was one of Qiao Zhan's subordinates, and he was baffled when he saw Luo Fei.

“Mrs. Nan, isn't this woman someone bad? Why are you with her?”

“Don't say that about her anymore. She... has turned over a new leaf.” Ning Ran chuckled.

“You're a kind woman, Mrs. Nan. Bad people don't turn over a new leaf overnight,” the driver remarked.

Ning Ran smiled and inclined her head at the driver's worries. “I know. I'm aware of the limits.”

Following the address Jiang Zhe sent her, she went to Sunshine Bank's branch at Goldsand Street.

She never expected her mother's belongings to be kept in the Ouyang family's bank.

Nevertheless, it was not as if her mother knew that Ning Ran would cross paths with the Ouyangs so often in the future.

Some things were simply destined to be.

After exiting the car, Jiang Zhe brought Ning Ran to the branch's general manager's office and introduced her to the general manager.

There was a deep grudge between Nanshi Corporation and the Ouyang family, but both were massive companies. Naturally, they would not be able to escape the fate of cooperating with certain smaller- scaled businesses.

Furthermore, the mid-level employees of Sunshine Corporation did not have much resentment toward Nanshi Corporation. In fact, they were rather impressed by Nan Chen, a star in the corporate world.

Since Nan Chen's girlfriend was there for the services, the general manager of the branch would certainly welcome her in person.

“Hello, Ms. Ning. Per the rules, you'll need to sign this document. Once that is done, you can open the safe and take what's inside.” The general manager passed her a piece of document.

After skimming through the document and finding no issues with it, Ning Ran signed it.

“By the way, there's a passcode for the safe. What do I do if I don't have the passcode?” Ning Ran asked.

“If the client has lost their passcode, they can request for the bank to open the safe with a valid identity card. In this case, you'll need to fill out another form,” the general manager replied with a smile.

“All right. Let me try it out first.”

In the end, Ning Ran's worries were for naught because the safe opened right when she keyed in her date of birth.

Evidently, Zhang Ru had been thinking of numbers Ning Ran could easily guess when she set the passcode.

Unsurprisingly, there was a USB flash drive inside the safe.

It was an old USB stick, so its capacity was small.

Ning Ran was thrilled when she took the USB stick. She wanted to know right away what was inside.

Alas, Ning Ran did not dare to borrow a computer from the bank to use it. After thanking the general manager, she hurried back into the car and asked the driver to send her home.

Once Ning Ran was back at Raining Pavilion, she hastily took out her laptop and inserted the USB stick.

She realized that the contents were locked behind a passcode, and this time, it was her mother's birthdate.

No one but professionals would be able to unlock the contents even if they were to get their hands on it.

Right then, Dabao and Erbao came over. “Mommy, what are you looking at?”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Ning Ran was a little nervous as she opened the folder. However, that nervousness was replaced by disappointment when she saw what was inside.

Photos were in the folder, and a tiny baby was in the first photo. It seemed like the baby was a newborn, for there were wrinkles on its face. It was almost as if the baby was a little grandma.

In the next photo, the baby was a little bigger. Ning Ran guessed that the baby was one month old by then.

Even though the baby was young, Ning Ran knew that it must be her in the photos.

Tears began flowing down Ning Ran's cheeks.

“Mommy, why are you crying? Who is this little girl?” Erbao asked, staring at the photos.

“That's Mommy,” Dabao pointed out, having guessed who it was.

“Wow, Mommy was that young? Why was she younger than me?” Erbao cried out.

“Stupid, Mommy was a kid once upon a time too. It's not like she came out this size,” Dabao uttered, rolling his eyes.

Erbao fell silent in contemplation. “Huh, you're right. I never thought about that. But why is Mommy crying?”

Dabao explained, “Mommy's thinking about Granny, so she's sad.”

“Oh, right. Granny has passed away, right? We never got to see her.” Erbao sighed.

Her words made Ning Ran's tears flow down her cheeks even more.

How happy would Mom be if she knew she had two smart and cute grandchildren like them? But Mom's gone. She won't come back anymore, and I'll never see her again.

“Mommy, don't cry. Granny wouldn't want you to cry either,” Dabao softly consoled, leaning toward her.

“I'm fine. I just miss my mom a lot all of a sudden. That's why I'm so sad. I'm okay.”

Erbao passed her a piece of tissue. “Sorry, Mommy, I shouldn't have made you cry. Even though Granny's gone, you still have me, Dabao, and Daddy to love you in Granny's place.”

Ning Ran was close to stopping her tears, but Erbao's words made those tears rush out of her anew.

This time, they were not tears of sorrow but joy and relief.
