Chapter 368 -367: Miscalculated This Time

Luo Ning’s conversation with Shi Ji wasn’t long. After seeing him off, she went to look for Luo Ranran on the mountain.

Luo Ranran was not one to idle away her time, so the two of them went straight into the deep mountains to look for wild fruits.

Luo Ning bluntly asked, “Earlier you said Shi Ji looked kind, have you remembered who he resembles?”

Luo Ranran replied with a smile, “I went back to my room and thought hard about it, and I finally remembered.”

“He looks a lot like the fake widow’s sister,” she added.

Because Luo Ning always called that woman the fake widow, she had adopted the term too.

Luo Ning was stunned, “The fake widow’s sister?”

Luo Ranran said, “The fake widow was from the direct lineage, and her parents held a high status in the clan before they died.”

“She actually has a sister who is a little more than two years younger than her. Not long after the fake widow was taken in by the Luo Family Head’s wife, someone was sent to bring her sister as well.”

“I heard that after her sister grew up, she left the island and went abroad. The Lou Family’s upper echelons didn’t pay much attention to her and pretended not to know.”

“Some years later, her sister suddenly turned up at the family asking for help. I had seen her once back then, so I remembered her.”

Her memory had been excellent since she was young; she could remember the faces of people she had seen once or twice quite clearly.

Luo Ning was somewhat surprised, “What was she asking for help with?”

Luo Ranran replied, “It seems that she had a child outside and wanted to bring the child back to the clan to seek protection.”

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, “The Lou Family didn’t help?”

Luo Ranran nodded, “They didn’t.”

“Ancient Fengshui Families are very exclusive. She married a man from outside and came back alone with a child, which the family saw as a disgrace; they even drove her off the island.”

“Besides, she grew up with her sister in the Luo Family, so it was even less likely that the Lou Family would care. These aristocratic families are quite cold-blooded.”

“Although I was young at that time, I always felt that the woman’s crying face when she asked for help was a bit fake, so it left a strong impression on me.”

“It’s just that I haven’t heard any news about her for so many years.”

She added, “Oh right, that Shi Ji might very well be her son; his age fits perfectly.”

“Shi Ji’s mother had passed away a long time ago, from what I know of his background, he could indeed be the son of the woman you mentioned.”

She then asked, “Didn’t she seek help from the fake widow?”

Luo Ranran replied, “I don’t know about that; anyhow, I felt she was very insincere at the time, and there’s probably some unspeakable truth behind it all.”

Luo Ning asked, “Were the sisters close?”

Luo Ranran said, “I’m not sure about that; after all, I’m not familiar with either of them, and I haven’t paid much attention to them.”

“If you want to know about the sisters’ situation, I can help you look into it.”

Luo Ning smiled and nodded, “Sure, that would be great. Could you also get some photos of the fake widow’s sister?”

She always felt there was some secret between Shi Ji’s mother and the fake widow; this was an important clue.

Luo Ranran said indifferently, “No problem, it’s a piece of cake.”

After picking wild fruits and returning, Luo Ning made jam with Luo Ranran.

In the evening, Luo Ning received a call from Luo Zeshen.

He mentioned that Pi Meixin was hospitalized with partial paralysis and appeared to have aged to look over twenty years old.

He also asked Luo Ning if he could reveal what Pi Meixin had done.

Luo Ning told him to go ahead and reveal it, and it would be best if the whole circle knew.

She had originally wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, and this move was an opportunity.

Luo Zeshen understood Luo Ning’s intentions, so he let the news slip out.

He then went back and caused a huge uproar at the Luo Family residence, and Luo Zeyu even pointed at the first wife and husband and scolded them fiercely.

Both brothers’ father came out to stop the dispute, and the two seized the opportunity to vent their years of pent-up resentment.

They further exposed their father’s indulgence in allowing their eldest brother to harm them, and then a fierce argument ensued on the spot.

Then, they even publicly declared on Weibo their decision to actively sever all ties with the Luo Family Head, as well as their relationship with their biological father.

This move left everyone in the Luo Family dumbstruck, especially the brothers’ father.

He had always believed that he had full control of his two sons, but he realized he had miscalculated this time.

He then coaxed his wife to go and try to win them back.

In the past, as long as his wife intervened, she was invariably successful, and the two sons would always compromise.

But this time, they were steadfast in their resolve and ultimately severed ties with their mother as well.

This left him feeling panicked.

The eldest son had sought Pi Meixin’s help in controlling the second son’s spirit for the good of the Luo Family’s company, so he had turned a blind eye to her actions.

In his view, as long as the second son was not dead, it was acceptable; after all, he was disobedient and refused to willingly integrate his company into the Luo Family’s business.

However, he truly hadn’t expected that the brothers would take such decisive action to cut ties with them.

Then, when he found out that the younger son had approached Luo Ning to break the curse on the second son, he urged his wife to cause a scene elsewhere.

That day, just after Luo Ning had finished filming a scene and was resting, a crew member came over to say that a wealthy lady was looking for her.

Luo Ning was somewhat puzzled but met with her nonetheless.

Soon, a well-dressed woman walked in, and one look at her face and Luo Ning knew who she was.

Luo Zeshen and his brother bore a resemblance to this woman.

Luo Ning asked indifferently, “Madam, do you need something from me?”

Mrs. Luo narrowed her eyes without saying a word, then suddenly raised her hand and, caught off guard, slapped toward Luo Ning’s face.

Luo Ning hadn’t expected the woman to actually make a move, but her reaction was swift, and she quickly caught the woman’s hand.

Her gaze turned cold, “Did you escape from a mental hospital?”

Mrs. Luo did not expect Luo Ning to react so quickly; she couldn’t even break free from the grip.

Her face flushed with anger, “You, you wicked woman! You enticed my son to break up with his fiancée and cut ties with our family. You deserved to be hit.”

These words had a deep implication, sounding as if Luo Ning had an affair with her son and had also destroyed his family.

Then suddenly, someone rushed in to take photos, clearly, Mrs. Luo had come prepared.

Director Mo and others who were filming halted and quickly came over.

Luo Ning realized that when this woman wasn’t driven by romantic notions, she wasn’t stupid; she even knew how to use public opinion to retaliate against her.

But she had underestimated Luo Ning.

“Who is your son? I don’t even know you, so I suspect you’re the lunatic who ran away from some asylum.” Luo Ning still clung to the other’s hand.

Mrs. Luo, with her face filled with anger, scoffed, “My sons are Luo Zeshen and Luo Zeyu.”

This woman dared to call her a lunatic that had escaped from an asylum; she was furious.

Luo Ning feigned surprise and looked at Mrs. Luo inquisitively, “So you are the mother who colluded with her stepson, forcibly matched another candidate for courtship, and together you plotted to kill your own biological son.”

“There are many oddities in this world, and I didn’t expect to encounter one today.”

“If it weren’t for my help in exposing the conspiracy, your son would have been killed.”

She continued with an air of having gained new insight, “And here you have the audacity to come to my doorstep to hit me. Are you upset that your biological son didn’t die, so you’ve come to take revenge on me for getting in the way?”
