Chapter 374 -373: This Time You’re Definitely Going to Attract a Lot of Hatred
Luo Ning and Luo Ranran went to play at a bar.
They chose a corner spot, chatting idly while drinking.
As they were chatting, a group of people came over.
At the forefront was a young man, around eighteen or nineteen years old.
The young man came over and sat down directly, looking at Luo Ranran with a smile and greeting, “Auntie, hello!”
“Is this your new girlfriend?” His gaze quickly shifted to Miss Luo, filled with amazement.
Clearly, the young man did not recognize Miss Luo’s celebrity status; it really was their first meeting.
Luo Ranran looked at the young man indifferently, “What’s it to you?”
The young man said with a mixture of envy and jealousy, “Still, Auntie, you have great taste.”
Just looking at this beauty, you can tell she’s natural, but it’s a pity she’s with the Luo Family.
Luo Ranran raised an eyebrow, “Of course, my taste is naturally good.”
She then asked, “Ran Xi, when did you come off the island?”

Ran Xi replied, “I came off today.”
He emphasized, “I even brought a task with me.”
Luo Ranran scoffed, “No need to say more, I’ll go back to the island myself tomorrow.”
She knew exactly what Ran Xi was up to.
He definitely did not want her to bring Miss Luo back to the Lou Family’s home island.
Ran Xi choked a little, “Auntie, as long as you know, I’ll be waiting for you on the return boat tomorrow.”
“By the way, Miss Luo, there will also be someone from the Luo Family to pick you up tomorrow,” he added while looking at Miss Luo again.
Neither the Lou Family nor the Luo Family wished to lose face, so they had negotiated to each bring their people back.
He believed that Luo Ranran, his auntie, would definitely not dare to go against the family’s wishes, so he was still confident about accomplishing the family task.
Miss Luo realized that Luo Ranran’s nephew was a bit of a naïve sweetheart.
She picked up her glass, took a sip, and said with a smile, “Your nephew seems pretty innocent!”
Luo Ranran naturally caught her meaning, chuckled lightly, and said, “He’s never left the island in the past eighteen years, he’s my older brother’s youngest son, protected and well kept, of course.”
Raising a naïve sweetheart lessens the chances of future conflicts for the position of Family Head with the eldest son.
However, unlike the intentional grooming of her to be naive and simple, which stemmed from envy, jealousy, and even hatred from others, including her own father, with the similar intent to squander her potential and seize the position of heir,
Ran Xi was simply cherished innocently, raised without ambition, so that he could later be taken care of by the future Family Head and enjoy his blessings.
With this thought, a hint of sarcasm couldn’t help but curl her lips.
She could already imagine how that “good big brother” must have stirred their parents and the family’s higher-ups over her bringing Miss Luo to the island.
Ran Xi didn’t quite follow the conversation between the two, but he didn’t plan to inquire further.
His auntie had never liked their family much, and that was something he could still sense.
So, he emphasized again, “Auntie, I’ll be waiting for you on the boat at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”
He gave a glance to the two middle-aged men behind him, signaling his intent to complete the task, and if his auntie resisted, he would have to rely on these two men.
The two men quickly flashed a reassuring look back at Ran Xi.
The unspoken communication between the three did not escape the notice of Luo Ning and Luo Ranran.
Luo Ranran waved her hand dismissively, “Got it, you go have fun.”
A glint of joy flashed in Ran Xi’s eyes, “Then I’ll take my leave first.”
This was his first time off the island, and he found the outside world much more interesting than the island; with time to spare, he wanted to enjoy it as well.
So he left with his entourage, but the two middle-aged men stayed in the bar.
However, they had the decency to move to another table far away.
Seeing that the two men did not leave, Miss Luo gave a meaningful smile, “Are they planning to forcibly keep us apart?”
Luo Ranran curled her lip, “Exactly.”
Then she sneered, “They really think my reputation as a genius is for nothing.”
These two are certainly strong, but they’re still not enough to take on the current me.
Luo Ning asked, “Your family doesn’t know about your current strength?”
Luo Ranran chuckled softly, “Of course, otherwise why would they let me go out to act in movies?”
“Planning to reveal it now?” asked Luo Ning.
Luo Ranran winked at Luo Ning, “Isn’t that what you’re here for?”
The implication being that she didn’t plan to reveal her true power, she was counting on Luo Ning to step up.
Luo Ning rolled her eyes, “You sure know how to delegate.”
Luo Ranran let out a hehe, “This is just to let you showcase yourself properly, give the Luo Family a shock.”
“Let the old folks of the Luo Family and other families see, an abandoned outsider child like you, can not only crush the peers on the island but also steamroll those old fools.”
If she were Luo Ning, she would do exactly that on her first visit to the island, to prove how blind the Luo Family was.
Anyway, she would not be able to stand concealing her power, straining to comply with their demands.
She was now hiding her strength only to be freer, after all, there were a few old timers in the family whose power could indeed suppress her, and she didn’t want to be confined to the island, unable to leave.
However, at home, she gave no one’s face any regard, doing as she pleased.
Luo Ning’s situation was different from hers, she had no plans to return to stay with the Luo Family on the island, there was no need to hide her power, best to do whatever felt good.
“The reason you agreed to come with me this time is to irritate the old fossils of the Luo Family, isn’t it?”
She had no fondness for any of the old folks from all the ancient Fengshui families on the island.
Luo Ning gave her a glance, “Too smart for your own good can attract hatred.”
She was not implying that she was unhappy because the other person was smart but was referring to Luo Ranran’s brother.
Luo Ranran laughed aloud, “If I weren’t smart, how could I be friends with you?”
“If a person is too excellent, where is there not envy and hatred?”
She gave Luo Ning a look that you’ll get it soon, “I have a feeling that you’re definitely going to rack up a whole lot of animosity this time.”
Luo Ning toyed with her wine glass and smiled, “Indeed, being too excellent can attract hatred.”
Changing her tone, she added, “But I’ve always believed in and liked another saying.”
Luo Ranran asked curiously, “What’s that?”
Luo Ning stated frankly, “In the face of absolute power, all schemes and jealousy are nothing but trash.”
Her point being, just crush them with strength, who’s got the time to play with schemes?
Luo Ranran was taken aback, then poured out her heart with a hearty voice, “Well said.”
Her eyes filled with more malice and ferocity, “With absolute power, you can play with trash however you want, destroy them however you want.”
Luo Ning felt that when Luo Ranran talked about destruction, it wasn’t aimed at individuals but at the entire Lou Family.
What exactly had this kid suffered to be pushed towards such darkness?
The Lou Family really knew how to play, driving a once-in-a-century genius to darkness; no telling how deep the backlash would be.
Yet Luo Ning did not sympathize with the Lou Family; she might be open-minded, but she had her moments of pettiness, with loyalty deeply ingrained in her bones, of course, she would stand by her friend’s side.
“This is entirely possible!”
Lifting her wine glass, Luo Ning said, “I believe you will succeed.”
The malice in Luo Ranran’s eyes faded, replaced by a touch of emotion; her normally icy heart felt a rare warmth.
She could clearly hear Luo Ning’s message; she was the first person to support her ideas.
Indeed, it’s so good to have a bestie!
She lifted her glass to clink with Luo Ning’s, “Thanks, I believe you’ll succeed too.”
Both of them smiled at each other, drained their glasses, and all was said without words.
