Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle
Chapter 575: Apocalypse True Daughter Cannon Fodder (46)

Chapter 575: Apocalypse True Daughter Cannon Fodder (46)

Before the apocalypse, the Qin Family was a top-notch wealthy household. After the apocalypse, not only did they become a major power in the Kyoto Base, but Mr. Qin even rose to become one of the top echelons of the base.

As the sole heir, Miss Qin’s status naturally soared, and she represented the cream of the crop within the third-generation elite circle.

If someone could get on the good side of the Qin Family, even a pig could fly.

Thus, Jia Baofeng said with enthusiasm and respect, "Good day, Miss Qin!"

"This Luo Ning is a commoner from some small place; I don’t know how she got her hands on an invitation and sneaked in."

"I was afraid she would ruin the party you’re hosting, so I had the manager escort her out."

She appeared concerned about the party and Miss Qin’s welfare.

Her sycophantic behavior also earned her some disdain from the crowd.

Everyone turned their attention to Qin Xinyue, curious as to how she would handle the situation.

Besides watching Miss Qin, everyone was also keeping an eye on Luo Ning.

Luo Ning showed no signs of guilt or anger. Instead, she had an amused look about her.

This left everyone baffled. How could she remain so unfazed?

Qin Xinyue looked at this Miss Jia she had never met before and was not pleased.

She frowned and said, "I personally invited Luo Ning to attend the gathering. Do you have a problem with that?"

Her words surprised everyone present.

What? This Luo Ning, who had never before been seen in high society, was personally invited by Qin Xinyue?

Jia Baofeng was so shocked that her mouth could’ve caught an egg, "Ah!"

She was the most confused person there. How could this be?

Not only her, but Luo Baomiao also showed a look of surprise. When had Luo Ning gotten in good with Qin Xinyue? What on earth was going on?

Seeing Miss Qin’s attitude, she knew it would be difficult to put Luo Ning down today.

Unable to help it, she clenched her fists tightly. How come this despicable Luo Ning was so lucky?

Qin Xinyue couldn’t be bothered with Jia Baofeng and walked straight toward Luo Ning.

Seeing this, Luo Ning stood up and then was embraced by Qin Xinyue, who reached out first, "My dear, you’ve finally come to the Capital City."

Whether it was Luo Ning saving her grandfather, helping her see the true colors of a scumbag phoenix man, or the fact that they got along so well.

She treated Luo Ning as a close friend, regarding her as an equal.

Luo Ning smiled with her eyes and embraced Qin Xinyue back, "I did say I’d come to see you. I didn’t stand you up, did I?"

This was what she had promised Qin Xinyue before the apocalypse.

Qin Xinyue smiled and playfully glared at her, "Even if you had stood me up, I would have had someone bring you to the Kyoto Base."

She really thought as much.

Originally, she had contacted the military in City S via telegraph, wanting them to bring Luo Ning along.

Then, when she found out that Luo Ning was already in the team, she was relieved.

Everyone watched as the two not only embraced closely but also spoke freely as if they were best friends, causing a stir of surprise.

What was the background of this Luo Ning to warrant such high regard from Qin Xinyue?

Right then, Yu Wei and Zuo Xia walked in from the outside.

"How did you two end up hugging?" Yu Wei whistled and said with a laugh.

His family had been close friends with the Qin Family for generations, and he and Miss Qin were also friends, which is why his remarks were so teasing.

Qin Xinyue let go of Luo Ning, opting to cling to her arm instead, "I’m happy to see Luo Ning. Is there a problem with that?"

Yu Wei laughed and replied, "Of course not, Miss. As long as you’re happy."

He added, "But don’t think about stealing my talent. Luo Ning is someone I’ve had my eye on."

He really had taken an interest in Luo Ning, thinking that such talent must be recruited to the Yu Family.

Moreover, on the road, he had fought alongside Luo Ning and greatly admired her.

He wanted to lift Luo Ning’s status in public, encouraging people in their circle not to underestimate or scorn her.

Zuo Xia chimed in with a smile, "No way, I’ve been watching Luo Ning too."

Yu Wei gave him a sidelong glance, "First come, first served, you know. Luo Ning is someone I spotted first."

Zuo Xia couldn’t suppress a laugh, "Although you’ve set your sights on her, she’s already collaborating with our Zuo Family. I’m not sure you still have a chance to dig under the wall."

He said this to elevate Luo Ning’s status as well.

Besides being grateful to Luo Ning for revealing Luo Baomiao’s true colors, which led to a successful annulment, he genuinely valued Luo Ning for her medicinal formulas and abilities.

Seeing the two continually elevate Luo Ning, and it didn’t seem like a show but genuine appreciation, everyone couldn’t help but feel like they were witnessing a revelation.

The person who might have been assumed as someone leeching a spot at the banquet was not only personally invited by the host, but was now being fought over by Yu Wei and Zuo Xia.

Just who is Luo Ning, and what sort of abilities and charm does she possess?

Qin Xinyue gave Yu Wei and the other person a disdainful glance, "Move aside, Ningning is mine."

"When did she become yours?" Suddenly, a biting cold voice echoed.

Everyone instinctively looked toward the striking, noble young man approaching and involuntarily caught their breath.

Why was he here? Was the sun rising from the west today?

Not just the crowd, but even Qin Xinyue watched in surprise as Lu Xun approached. "Seventh Young Master Lu, why have you come?"

Her grandfather and Lu Xun’s grandfather were close friends, and their two families had a longstanding connection.

However, as Lu Xun was very aloof and, due to his high IQ and accomplishments, did not socialize much with them, he was known for being solitary in their circle.

Before the apocalypse, Lu Xun was not keen on attending social gatherings or private parties, and even less so afterward – he had never been seen at one.

Though she had sent an invitation to the Lu Family, she never actually expected him to attend.

Lu Xun arrived with another ruggedly handsome man who bore some resemblance to him.

He asked with a smile, "What, my brother can’t come?"

He was Lu Xun’s biological older brother, Lu Kai.

Qin Xinyue tucked away her surprise, responding with a smile, "It’s just such a rarity to see Seventh Young Master Lu at a banquet, I was merely expressing my astonishment."

"If he’s attending a gathering I’m organizing, it’s surely an honor. Of course, I’m most welcoming."

Lu Xun nodded indifferently at her, then took a few more steps forward.

Reaching Luo Ning’s side, his eyes and brows carried an uncommon warmth, "Why didn’t you wait for me to pick you up?"

He had just learned of the events that had occured upon arriving at the venue, so his question was deliberate.

Luo Ning, initially surprised by his question (knowing that he knew she would come with Long Feifei), quickly realized old Lu was intentionally giving her face.

She replied with a smile, "Feifei came to pick me up first."

Lu Xun said, "It’s also my fault for not informing you ahead of time."

Then, his gaze shifted to the completely bewildered Jia Baofeng and her group.

He asked directly, "Did they bully you?"

Luo Ning curved her lips slightly, "Not quite bullying, but they kept disparaging me, claiming I was a lowly commoner that couldn’t show her face in public, and that my invitation was a forgery."

She had no intentions of preserving any dignity for Jia Baodiao and her group.

Sure enough, having old Lu to protect her felt good.

Lu Xun’s expression quickly turned cold, and after sweeping his gaze over Jia Baodiao and the others, he commanded the people behind him, "Throw these people out."

Jia Baodiao was utterly unprepared for the fact that Luo Ning was not only familiar with Qin Xinyue, Yu Wei, and Zuo Xia but also recognized the famously unreachable Seventh Young Master Lu, who now stood up for Luo Ning.

"No, Seventh Young Master Lu, you’ve misunderstood; I am Luo Ning’s cousin. We were only joking with her just now."

Jia Baodiao, terrified, hurried to explain.

Internally, she was filled with hatred and jealousy toward Luo Ning. Seventh Young Master Lu was known in the elite circle as an unattainable pinnacle; why should he protect this despicable little thing?

But no matter how jealous, envious, hateful, and upset she felt inside, she had to endure it.

Instead, thoughts of leveraging her relation to Luo Ning to establish a connection with Lu Xun began to form.

She didn’t want to be thrown out; not only would it be mortifying, but she’d also be sure to miss out on all high-class gatherings at the Capital City Base in the future.

Lu Xun’s expression grew even colder, "Far too noisy."

The ones who had come to drag Jia Baofeng away quickly covered her mouth upon hearing his remark and forcibly dragged her out.

Those present merely watched, none daring to interfere.
