Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 413: Chapter 412 This is My Uncle Chapter 413: Chapter 412 This is My Uncle Luo Ning was quite surprised; she had never known anyone from the Sikong Family before.

She asked, “Do you know why the Sikong Family has invited me over as a guest?”

Lei Qiu shook his head, “I don’t know.”

He was also curious about how Luo Ning could know someone from the Sikong Family.

Luo Ning asked again, “Is it just inviting me?”

Lei Qiu said, “If Lady Lou wishes, she can also accompany you.”

Luo Ranran immediately stood up, “Then I will accompany you.”

She did not feel entirely at ease about Luo Ning going alone, and she was also somewhat curious about the Sikong Family.

Luo Ning didn’t know what the Sikong Family was up to, but at the exchange meeting, she had sensed the Family Head’s goodwill, so she prepared to explore the reason.

“Alright! Since we’re free anyway, let’s go.”

Luo Ning and Luo Ranran followed Lei Qiu to the hall, where they saw a young man with handsome features, dressed in a white Tang suit, sitting with Lei Lifei.

Lei Lifei introduced with a smile, “This is Sikong Wei, the son of the Sikong Family Patriarch, and he is also the confirmed heir.”

Sikong Wei took the initiative to greet them with a smile, “Greetings, Miss Luo, Lady Lou!”

“Greetings, Young Master Sikong!” Luo Ning and Luo Ranran returned the gesture.

Lei Lifei looked at Luo Ning and said, “Sikong Wei has specifically come to escort you as guests, and he will bring you back later.”

This was agreed upon with Sikong Wei since, if anything happened to Luo Ning, Lei Lifei wouldn’t be able to explain it to Luo Yicheng.

Luo Ning nodded at him, “Alright.”

She then smiled at Sikong Wei, “Then, we’ll trouble Young Master Sikong.”

“Not at all, please,” Sikong Wei stood up and made a welcoming gesture.

The three of them left the Lei Family and boarded the Sikong Family’s carriage.

In the carriage’s center, there was a table set with tea, pastries, and fruit.

Sikong Wei also brewed Kung Fu tea, chatting leisurely with Luo Ning while occasionally touching on matters of Feng Shui Xuan Shu, yet he did not volunteer the reason for inviting Luo Ning.

Luo Ning did not inquire, displaying remarkable patience, which earned her another measure of respect from Sikong Wei.

Upon arriving at the Sikong Family’s residence, Sikong Wei led the two women straight to the study.

This left Luo Ning and Luo Ranran somewhat perplexed; generally, when inviting guests over, shouldn’t they be taken to the living room?

Nevertheless, they did not ask and followed him into the study.

Just as they entered the study, Luo Ning was taken aback by the person sitting inside.

Upon seeing Lu Xun, Luo Ning first expressed surprise, and then joy appeared in her eyes as she asked, “Old Lu, what are you doing here?”

She had missed Lu Xun during these few days without seeing him.

Lu Xun, seeing Luo Ning, smiled with his eyes and said, “I’ve come to pick you up.”

He stood up and walked over, first greeting Luo Ranran.

Then, taking Luo Ning’s hand, he led her to the front of the Sikong Family Patriarch, seated at the center of the study.

He first said to Luo Ning, “Let me introduce you; this is my uncle.”

Luo Ning showed surprise again, “So the Sikong Family Patriarch is your uncle.”

No wonder the Sikong Family Patriarch’s attitude toward her became so friendly after she presented the Jade Pendant.

Lu Xun then introduced her to his uncle, “Uncle, this is my fiancée, Luo Ning.”

The Sikong Family Patriarch was not surprised; giving Luo Ning such an important token implied their relationship could not be ordinary.

He smiled warmly, “Miss Luo, we meet again.”

Luo Ning also wore a smile, “Hello, Sikong Family Patriarch!”

The Sikong Family Patriarch smiled, “No need to be so formal, from now on just call me Uncle Sikong.”

He added, “After you get married, you can follow Lu Xun in calling me uncle.”

Luo Ning didn’t play coy, “Uncle Sikong.”

The Sikong Family Patriarch raised his hand, “Very good, I like a straightforward junior like you. Please, have a seat.”

After sitting down, the Sikong Family Patriarch casually chatted with Luo Ning for a bit and then left with Sikong Wei, giving Luo Ning and Lu Xun some space.

Luo Ranran also followed Sikong Wei out, letting him show her around.

She sure didn’t want to be a third wheel.

When the study was left with just Luo Ning and Lu Xun, Lu Xun stood up first, walked over, and lifted Luo Ning onto his lap.

He wrapped his arms around Luo Ning’s waist and rubbed his face against hers, “I’ve really missed you!”

Luo Ning hugged his waist in return, “I’ve missed you too.”

In someone else’s study, they restrained themselves from kissing.

Leaning on Lu Xun’s shoulder, Luo Ning said, “I didn’t expect the Sikong Family Patriarch to be your uncle, no wonder he was quite friendly to me at the conference.”

Lu Xun replied, “I actually just found out too; uncle is the head of the Ancient Fengshui Family.”

“Ah, you didn’t know before?” Luo Ning was a bit surprised but soon understood.

If Lu Xun had known, he would surely have told her before she came.

Lu Xun nodded, “I’ve only met my uncle a few times before and felt he was quite mysterious; my dad never mentioned his identity or the Sikong Family, so I had some suspicions.”

That’s why he had given the Jade Token to Luo Ning.

Not only because it would make Luo Ning a honored guest on the island, but if the Sikong Family was indeed as he suspected, seeing the jade would certainly prompt them to take care of Luo Ning.

Curious, Luo Ning asked, “Then how did you end up here?”

“My dad heard you were coming to the Ancient Fengshui Family’s territory and was worried you’d run into trouble, so he disclosed my mother’s family affairs to me.”

Lu Xun paused before saying, “My dad’s identity isn’t suitable for too much association with the Fengshui Family.”

“Additionally, since my mom, as a person of the Direct Lineage Family Head’s line, insisted on marrying outside, the Sikong Family rarely kept in touch with her.”

“It’s been several years since I’ve seen my uncle, so I took this opportunity to visit.”

He missed Luo Ning and was also concerned about her safety, so as soon as he found out the Sikong Family was his maternal family, he came.

Once he got in touch with his uncle, he was indeed directly brought to the island.

Although their contact had been minimal over the years, the bond of blood remained.

When his mother was still alive, he noticed that his uncle was very fond of her and they had a good sibling relationship back then.

Therefore, his uncle had always been kind to him.

Luo Ning nodded, “So that’s how it is.”

She asked, “Do you want to join the conference with me tomorrow?”

Lu Xun stroked her hair, “Mhm, let’s go to the conference together tomorrow, then I’ll take you off the island.”

His uncle had already informed him about what Luo Ning did at the conference today.

And he was advised to take Luo Ning away as soon as the conference ended tomorrow, with the Sikong Family arranging for escorts.

Luo Ning looked up and kissed Lu Xun’s chin, “Under what identity did you come here?”

“As the Special Department Minister, and I do have some matters to discuss with several family heads tomorrow.”

Holding Luo Ning, Lu Xun felt like he had the whole world, especially at ease.

The Special Department wasn’t just in charge of dealing with unnatural events, but also had the responsibility to communicate and coordinate with the Ancient Fengshui Family and the Fengshui Xuanhui.

He had previously made contact with the heads of several major families in Nanhai City, but this was his first time coming to the island and meeting all the family heads.
