Chapter 312 - 312 311 Instead Became an Obstacle
?Chapter 312: Chapter 311: Instead Became an Obstacle Chapter 312: Chapter 311: Instead Became an Obstacle The next day, Lu Xun and Luo Ning left the island together.
On the plane, Luo Ning and Lu Xun sat in the front seats, huddled together watching a drama, chatting and laughing.
Yue Xiao and his companions sat a few rows behind them.
Watching the two of them like this, Jin Feiyang couldn’t help but stroke his chin and say, “Brother Ning and Young Master Lu seem to have quite an extraordinary relationship!”
They were good friends with Ji Jiayi and belonged to the same circle, so they knew Lu Xun’s true identity.
Fan Ye sighed, “Looking at it this way, our Brother Ning might get whisked away by that Lu wild man.”
They weren’t very familiar with Lu Xun, but they knew this man had noteworthy capabilities, not something these second-generation idlers could compare with.
Although Lu Xun was just dabbling in the entertainment circle, he also had other official identities and controlled several companies.
More importantly, he was a generation older than them; if it came to confrontations, they’d have to call Lu Xun ‘Uncle.’
Therefore, they couldn’t afford to provoke him, otherwise they would’ve already gone up there and pulled the wild man away.
Yue Xiao also sighed, “I really didn’t expect that our Brother Ning would get snatched away by a wild man so quickly.”
“So, Ji Er has no chance at all,” Bo Xuan didn’t think highly of his friend’s prospects.
The others nodded in agreement, “Definitely no chance.”
“Ji Er should just give up; he’s not worthy of our Brother Ning.”
“If I had to choose between Ji Er and Young Master Lu for Brother Ning, I’d still prefer Brother Ning to be taken by Young Master Lu.”
From any aspect, Young Master Lu was miles beyond Ji Er.
Even if they were Ji Jiayi’s bros, they couldn’t speak against their conscience, could they?
After all, Brother Ning was now their “brother.”
After returning to the country, Luo Ning and Lu Xun left through another special passage.
Bo Xuan and the others went through the regular passage.
Once outside, they saw Ji Jiayi, flamboyantly dressed, standing at the arrival gate.
Yue Xiao raised an eyebrow at him, “Are you here to pick us up?”
Ji Jiayi said with a smile, “No shit, if I’m not here to pick you guys up, who am I here for?”
Then he looked around, “Where’s Luo Ning?”
Yue Xiao: “…”
Who just said he was here to pick them up? Clearly, he came for Brother Ning; the dude was completely shameless.
“Brother Ning and Young Master Lu have already left.”
Ji Jiayi was stunned for a moment, “Luo Ning and Lu Xun left?”
“Why didn’t I see them?”
He had asked Yue Xiao yesterday when they would return, and knowing they’d be back today, had come specifically to wait for Luo Ning.
Yue Xiao said irritably: “They went through a special passage; how could you possibly see them?”
“If you’re not here to pick us up, let’s go,” he said, shoving one of his suitcases at Ji Jiayi.
Ji Jiayi had an unhappy look on his face, “How could you let Lu Xun take Luo Ning away? He’s a big bad wolf, up to no good.”
Yue Xiao and the others: “…” Just like you’re up to no good. They really wanted to retort, saying you’re like a jackal, and he’s the big bad wolf.
Fan Ye put an arm around Ji Jiayi’s shoulder and said, “Ji Er, let me tell you something honestly, and don’t get mad.”
Ji Jiayi raised his eyebrows, “Go ahead.”
“You better stop pining after our Brother Ning; you two aren’t a good match.”
Ji Jiayi glanced at him, “How are we not a match? I’m handsome and she’s beautiful; we’re a perfect pair.”
Fan Ye rolled his eyes, “Give it a rest, even if I put it subtly, you still don’t get it.”
“Let me just say it straight, then. You’re not worthy of our Brother Ning, so stop trying.”
Brother Ning had no interest in this guy whatsoever. They had mentioned Ji Jiayi in front of her before, but she was indifferent and even seemed to avoid him as much as possible.
Brother Ning is now their “good brother,” so naturally, they can’t wrong him.
Ji Jiayi’s face darkened, “Are we still brothers? How can you say I’m not good enough for Luo Ning?”
He looked at the other three and asked, “Do you all feel the same way?”
Jin Feiyang touched his nose, “Ji Er, you and our Brother Ning really don’t match, and she doesn’t like you either.”
Bo Xuan added a comment, “Lu Xun is a bit better than you.”
Ji Jiayi’s face grew even darker, “I see what you guys are like now, actually taking Lu Xun’s side—that big bad wolf—and not your brother’s.”
He never felt that he was inferior to Lu Xun, or unworthy of Luo Ning.
But now that all his brothers were saying so, it infuriated him.
Yue Xiao claimed, with a look of blunt honesty, “You’re too flirtatious and not faithful to women, and our Brother Ning deserves better.”
Ji Jiayi, face dark, retorted, “That’s how I am with other women, but maybe I’d be faithful to Luo Ning.”
Fan Ye gave him a look of disdain, “It’s precisely because you said ‘maybe’ that we can’t let Brother Ning fall into your trap.”
Jin Feiyang added, “Exactly, to be honest, if Brother Ning were to end up with you, she’d be better off with Fan Ye. At least this big lug isn’t a heartbreaker.”
Fan Ye glared at him, “What are you saying? Brother Ning is my brother, my goddess. Don’t insult her place in my heart.”
After glaring at Jin Feiyang, he turned to Ji Jiayi, “But what he said does make sense. I’m not good enough for Brother Ning, let alone you.”
Ji Jiayi felt like he was going to spit blood; these guys had switched sides after just a month of competitive live streaming.
He threw Yue Xiao’s suitcase back, “I’m leaving first.”
He didn’t want to see them anymore, fearing he couldn’t help wanting to start a fight.
“Aren’t you supposed to be picking us up?” Yue Xiao asked, exasperated.
Ji Jiayi scoffed, “Pick you up, my ass. I’m cutting ties with you, a bunch of traitors who choose love over friendship.”
He had previously said his brothers were great and would help him pursue Luo Ning.
Who would have thought, these guys wouldn’t lend a hand but instead would become obstacles in his pursuit, infuriating!
With that, he turned and stormed off.
With Luo Ning gone, there was no point in picking anyone up. Let these guys take a taxi home on their own.
Watching Ji Jiayi leave in anger, Jin Feiyang touched his nose again, “Is he okay? Were we too blunt?”
“Don’t worry about him. He’ll cool off in a couple of days and come looking for us to have drinks.”
Yue Xiao and Ji Jiayi had grown up together, so he knew him well.
“Fine, then let’s leave it be.”
Elsewhere, Luo Ning followed Lu Xun through a special passageway and then got into his nanny car after stepping outside.
Lu Xun asked, “Should I take you back to your apartment, or over to Mountain?”
Luo Ning replied, “Let’s go directly to Mountain. My mom and brother have already moved there.”
She’d contacted her mother after finishing the live stream.
The house at the foot of the mountain wasn’t ready yet, but the weather was still quite warm, so her mother had someone set up a temporary house there.
Prefab homes like this were pretty popular now: environmentally friendly materials, quick to construct.
Their lifespan might be just a decade or two, but the key advantage was convenience and speed—you could move in as soon as the structure was up, no renovation needed.
Lu Xun nodded, “Okay.”
Then he said something to the driver, who started heading towards the outskirts.
The journey wasn’t particularly long.
Lu Xun asked, “Are you planning to move there too?”
Luo Ning nodded, “Yes, I’m going to vacate my current apartment in the next couple of days.”
“My mom didn’t wait for me to come back to move, which means something must have happened, otherwise, she wouldn’t have rushed.” She added.
Her mom also hadn’t mentioned the reason over the phone, probably because she didn’t want to worry her.
