Chapter 359 -358: What on Earth is Going On!

Luo Ranran’s eyes brimmed with even more laughter upon hearing Luo Ning’s words.

“Right, we really are fated.”

She had been making idle chat with Luo Ning, her gaze following wherever Luo Ning went.

Sitting to one side, Ji Xinghang thought this woman had come for Lu Xun, but now it seemed not?

After Lu Xun’s scene wrapped up, Luo Ning and Ji Xinghang were called over by Director Mo.

Luo Ning and Ji Xinghang then began their first scene together.

Ji Xinghang played the Second Male who returned from studying abroad, his first action being to oppose the feudal and outdated marriage and to demand a divorce.

Luo Ning, playing the Female Lead, made her entrance dressed in a traditional ruqun, gentle as flowing water.

Her face turned pale in an instant when her husband mocked her as a vestige of feudalism, but she still harbored her own convictions.

And then she was driven out of her family’s home.

Luo Ning conveyed the helplessness and vulnerability of a well-bred lady under feudal constraints, yet mixed with a tenacity to survive, and brought it all to life.

Ji Xinghang didn’t fall short either; his acting skills were inherently strong, and refined by his experiences in his past life, he performed very well this time.

Of course, the character of the Second Male had some similarities with Ji Xinghang’s own past, so in a way, he was portraying his former self.

He perfectly captured the confident and unrestrained spirit of a successful young man, along with a hint of being somewhat despicable.

Director Mo’s smile deepened; Lu certainly recommended a good candidate.

He had been worried that Top Star Ji might disappoint, but instead, Ji Xinghang exceeded his expectations and truly brought the Second Male to life.

Next came the Second Female’s first scene.

She too played a young lady from an aristocratic family, but like the Second Male, she had studied abroad and embraced new ideas.

She was also the true love the Second Male met overseas, the reason he returned to get a divorce.

This scene featured Luo Ranran and Ji Xinghang, so Luo Ning and Lu Xun watched from not too far away.

It had to be said, although Luo Ranran was a newcomer in the entertainment circle, her acting while somewhat raw showed great potential.

In a low voice, Luo Ning mentioned to Lu Xun that Luo Ranran had come from Nanhai City.

Moreover, there was an indiscernible intensity in the way she looked at her, even though she tried to hide it well, Luo Ning still noticed it.

Lu Xun also felt there was something off about Luo Ranran from the first glance.

“I’ve already had someone go out to investigate,” he said, having arranged for the special department to check her background while he went to the restroom after shooting his scene.

This wasn’t the place for a detailed conversation; they exchanged a look and neither continued the topic.

The first day of shooting went smoothly, and considering the cast’s extraordinary backgrounds, Director Mo took everyone out for dinner.

At the dinner table, Luo Ranran took the initiative to sit next to Luo Ning with an indescribably considerate air.

Luo Ning had tough nerves, she took whatever Luo Ranran dished out.

Director Mo was pleased to see the two getting along well, the smile in his eyes growing deeper.

He had been concerned that his wife’s relative would not get on well with Female Lead Luo Ning, potentially affecting the drama.

He hadn’t been keen on casting Luo Ranran as the Second Female, but he couldn’t withstand his wife’s strong insistence.

When Luo Ranran came in to audition, he discovered her great potential, and was pleasantly surprised, and thus settled on her for the role of the Second Female.

After dinner, Luo Ranran didn’t cling to Luo Ning anymore and left on her own.

Seeing Luo Ranran getting into a limited edition luxury car worth tens of millions, the crew became even more certain of the strong backing behind the Second Female.

Luo Ning’s suspicions deepened.

Then Luo Ning, Lu Xun, and Ji Xinghang returned to the hotel together.

Having just finished a bath and climbed into bed to scroll through my phone, the sound of knocking at the door arose.

Luo Ning knew who it was, so she didn’t bother changing and, clad in her nightgown, got up to answer the door; indeed, it was Lu Xun standing at the threshold.

She beckoned to him with a curled finger, “Come in.”

A smile in his eyes, Lu Xun took her hand and they entered the room together, shutting the door behind them and cutting off the view of the corridor not far away.

Ji Xinghang had been feeling nauseous just a moment ago, had gone down to buy some medicine, and returned only to see Lu Xun knocking at Luo Ning’s door.

He was displeased, thinking that at this hour, the guy was being far too indiscreet.

Little did he know he’d see Luo Ning in her nightgown opening the door, and then the two of them holding hands as they went inside.

He stood there as if struck by lightning, although he had guessed that Lu Xun and Luo Ning might be together, seeing it in person made his heart ache as though it wasn’t his own anymore.

His hands clenched into fists, he couldn’t help but punch the wall several times, venting his frustration before closing his eyes and, with medicine in hand, returning to his own room.

His treasure really belonged to someone else now.

In Luo Ning’s room, she poured Lu Xun a glass of water.

“Did you find out?”

Asked in such a way, Lu Xun’s face darkened, “I found out.”

Seeing his grim expression, Luo Ning grew even more certain of her guess, “Who is Luo Ranran?”

Lu Xun replied, “The talented youth of the Lou Family.”

“The fake widow’s maiden family, the Lou Family, has declined quite a bit over the years, but they still have a strong foundation.”

“They rank third among the ancient Fengshui Families.”

“She’s not from a collateral branch?” Luo Ning had thought Luo Ranran, like Luo Xinxin, came from a collateral branch of the Lou Family in Nanhai City.

Lu Xun shook his head, “Not only is she not from a collateral branch, she’s also the most beloved daughter of the Direct Lineage Family Head.”

Luo Ning was taken aback, “How did the fake widow manage to have the Family Head’s daughter come in person?”

She knew the fake widow, though of the Lou Family’s direct lineage, wasn’t from the line of the Family Head.

Having lost both parents, her status in the Lou Family wasn’t high, her upbringing by Family Head Luo would have been impossible otherwise.

Therefore, Luo Ranran couldn’t possibly have been arranged by the fake widow.

Speaking of this, Lu Xun’s face grew even darker, “Luo Ranran is hailed as the once-in-a-century talent of the Lou Family, raised from childhood as the heir.”

“But after she came of age, the heir was changed to her brother.”

“Because she loves women and has never hidden her orientation, although the Lou Family Patriarch and his wife were heartbroken and desired her to marry, she not only refused but also openly sought girlfriends and brought them home.”

“This angered the Lou Family Master and his wife greatly, prompting them to revoke her status as heir.”

“Then, she behaved even more willfully, frequently changing girlfriends. The Lou Family loved and loathed her at the same time.”

“Since her talent was too great to discard, along with the Lou Family Master’s genuine affection for this youngest daughter, they simply turned a blind eye and indulged her.”

Continuing, Lu Xun spoke with a further darkened expression, “I received news on my end that Luo Ranran just broke up with a previous girlfriend and left the island to heal her broken heart, thus choosing to act in this film.”

“Her public identity is as a miss from a collateral branch of the Lou Family in Nanhai City.”

Indeed, it was precisely due to Luo Ranran’s outrageous and high-profile conduct in the Fengshui Family circles that they were able to unearth so much information.

Although Lu Xun speculated that Luo Ranran had come for Luo Ning, he had not anticipated that it was not to assist in revenge but rather enticed by beauty.

After reviewing the information, he even felt the impulse to expel Luo Ranran from the cast – what a mess!

Luo Ning: “…”

Although she had some suspicions based on the other’s gaze, confirming them still left her quite speechless.

Sure enough, it was a cursed fate!
