My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 193

The Nan family’s private doctor, Luo Shu, received a call from Jiang Zhe to get him to drop by Nan Chen’s office.

Luo Shu was shocked as he thought that an emergency had happened to Nan Chen in the office. He immediately carried his first aid kit and rushed over.

He then saw Nan Chen in one piece and just had some dark circles which were probably due to a lack of sleep.

Nan Chen had to consume two extra-large cups of espressos in order to get rid of his fatigue.

In fact, he had been a rather energetic man all along but the long distance travelling yesterday which disrupted his sleep and the loss of sleep at night had tired him out.

“Third Young Master, are you feeling unwell?” Luo Shu said as he opened his first aid kit, ready to start the consultation.

“I am good. The reason I got you here is because I have a question.”

“Please go ahead, Third Young Master.”

“Are the DNA of twins the same?”

“For identical twins which arise from the same ovum, their DNA would be the same. However if they are non-identical twins which arose from a different ovum, their DNA would be different and the similarity would be just like that of usual siblings.” Luo Shu answered.

Nan Chen nodded.

In fact, Nan Chen knew such simple knowledge. He just wanted to confirm them with a professional.

“Fourth Young Master and you are identical twins, so the both of you will have the same DNA.”

Nan Chen nodded again.

“If Nan Xing’s DNA and my DNA are completely the same, how are we able to tell the difference apart?” Nan Chen questioned again.

“Of course, they will be a way to tell the DNA apart by observing the difference between the inheritance levels. Take for example, the methylation patterns of the DNA would be different, the proofreading levels of the genome would be different, the DNA replication mutation rate and more. As long as there is a professional to authenticate the DNAs, they would be able to tell the difference between the 2 DNA. In the past, such technologies were only available overseas. However, we have them now too. But as there is a low demand for such DNA authentication, the main techniques used today are genetic research and forensics. In some cases, after a twin commits a crime, the other twin can take the offence on behalf of the sibling as they both have the same DNA. There will then be a need for an even more detailed analysis by a professional expert. But of course, I am not saying that Fourth Young Master and you will be in such a situation, that was just an example.” Luo Shu explained in fear.

Nan Chen waved his hand to signal that it was fine.

Nan Chen then remained silent for another couple of seconds. It was as if he was brainstorming about a problem. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Luo Shu did not dare to disturb him so he just kept quiet.

“If Nan Xing had a child, then would the child’s DNA be the same as mine?” Nan Chen questioned again.

“The similarity index would be very high, but it will not be exactly the same.” Luo Shu said.

Nan Chen remained silent.

“I will need you to help me settle something but this matter will only stay between the both of us.” Nan Chen said.

Luo Shu felt nervous, “What is it about?”

“Take my DNA and Nan Xing’s DNA to make a comparison with that of a child’s DNA and let me know the results.”

“Understood.”

“What do you understand?” Nan Chen asked coldly.

“I think I do not understand.” Luo Shu panicked.

“There isn’t a complicated relationship going on here, it is just that there are some misunderstandings and I do not wish to have anyone know about it to prevent rumors from spreading.”

“Understood.” Luo Shu really meant it this time.

He knew the importance of the Nan family’s reputation to them. Nan Chen took extra precaution in handling this matter as he could not let outsiders know of it and use it to create headline news.

Hence, this was a top secret and no mistakes could be tolerated.

“You really understand?”

“Yes, I really do.”

“Okay, you will first take my blood sample. Can we do it here?”

“Yes.”

……

At 6pm, everyone at the filming scene of The Sound of Thunder 2 were preoccupied.

The filming process of this show was way too arduous. They were already falling behind the schedule due to the switching of roles and various incidents. There was a need to speed up their work progress.

Director Wang Yan was dissatisfied with the supporting role’s acting, and had been criticizing her very badly.

“You’re so dumb, how must I put it so you can understand what I’m saying?”

That supporting actress was from an acting school. Although she received professional training and was strong on the theoretical aspects, she was lacking in the practical side of acting and had been scolded by the director until she was about to cry.

“Ding Mi, teach her how to act.” The director called Ning Ran over.

Ning Ran had no choice but to demonstrate a part for her on the set.

She just casually acted on the spot but it was rather on point, and the character was brought out very clearly.

It seemed like having an inborn talent was very important for actors and was a necessary factor.

“Can you see that? This is how you should act. Have you got it?” The director asked the supporting actress.

That actress nodded her head.

She then started to act again but she still could not make it.

Her actions and the lines she recited were similar to that of Ning Ran’s but Ning Ran was able to bring out the role of the character and not the supporting actress.

There was something missing from the supporting actress’s way of acting and there was no way to make up for this difference.

“Stupid. You are a professional actress but look at what you are doing!” Wang Yan’s blood was boiling.

“Get Ding Mi to demonstrate again.” Someone who was standing behind said.

“Ding Mi is already very tired; we can’t possibly get her to keep demonstrating over and over again.” Wang Yan said.

“Just let her do it once more.”

“Am I the director or are you the director?” Wang Yan turned around and screamed. He was bursting in flames.

However as he turned around, he saw an expressionless yet dashing face.

“Sir Chen, I did not know that you were here. It’s my fault, I should not have shouted at you, I……” Wang Yan was about to slap himself but Nan Chen rushed forward to stop him.

“Get Ding Mi to teach her once more, we need to be more patient towards the new actors.” Nan Chen said.

“Ding Mi, please teach her again and see if she is able to get the hang of it.” The director said.

“Sure.”

Ning Ran had no choice but to teach her once again. There was an improvement and it could be deemed as acceptable.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Wang Yan got everyone to take a sip of water and take a break. The lunch boxes were on the way here and they will continue filming after eating.

“Ding Mi, come over here.”

Ning Ran walked over, and saw Nan Chen standing behind the cameras. She gave him a brief nod to acknowledge his presence.

“Have you eaten?” Nan Chen suddenly asked.

Ning Ran froze. She shook her head, “The lunch boxes that the crew ordered haven’t arrived.”

“Let’s have a meal together then.” Nan Chen said.

“It’s fine, I have to continue filming later tonight.”

“Don’t worry, you can leave first. I will film the parts involving the other actors later and leave your part for tomorrow. If there isn’t sufficient time tomorrow, we can do it another day.” Wang Yan, who was standing beside, immediately said.

Ning Ran felt that every single time the brothers from the Nan family came to the filming scene, they would ruin something.

The outfits and props for the scene had already been prepared but now the filming was suddenly postponed. This was all because of Nan Chen.

“No, we will film tonight. We have already stalled this filming for too long, we have to speed up our progress.” Ning Ran said.

“Look, Ding Mi has such a positive attitude in her work. This attitude is indeed commendable but we really will not film your part later tonight. Rest assured; it will not affect the progress of the filming.”

“I will wait for you in the car, you can go ahead and continue filming.” As soon as Nan Chen finished his words, he strode towards the exit with his pair of long legs.

Ning Ran was puzzled. Why is he looking for me? Is he trying to pick a fight with me?

I have already let my children live with the Nan family, what else do you want?

“Don’t bother waiting for me, I will end work late today.” Ning Ran said loudly.

The director is in a state of panic. If Ding Mi offended Sir Chen, wouldn’t I be in trouble?
