q The next afternoon, Zheng Lunlun, who was filming variety shows in other provinces, had finally returned.
The roses were still left on the set to Zhen Lunlunâs dismay. Who made such a scene here?
He immediately called a crew member over and asked, âWhere are these roses from? Who are they for?â
Zheng Lunlunâs quick judgement told him that it was for him since we was the top star among other cast here.
But he had left the province the past two days and wasnât even around.
âThese are for Ding Mi.â The crew member replied.
Zheng Lunlun did not believe. Ding Mi wasnât even that famous and didnât have a lot of fans. Who would give her so many flowers?
âHave you mistaken?â Zheng Lunlun frowned and said.
âYes indeed. We all thought that it was for Luo Fei but it wasnât. It was for Ding Mi. Now that I say it, it feels so strange. Nan Chenâs girlfriend was obviously Luo Fei. Why would he send flowers to Ding Mi and not Luo Fei? Did Nan Chen fall out of love with Luo Fei? The crew member mumbled to himself.
âWhat did you say? They are from Nan Chen?â Zheng Lunlun caught hold of the crew member.
The crew member jumped. He replied, âYes. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. Also, Nan Chen had a red carpet placed here to make a grand entrance. It was such an amazing scene to witness.â
This was even more unbelievable to Zheng Lunlun.
His uncle who is as cold as ice also knows how to send flowers? Thatâs impossible!
Okay, even if he sends flowers, why would it be for Ding Mi?
Nan Chen has said before to get him to keep a distance away from Ding Mi as he said that this woman was not as simple as she seemed.
But now he is the one sending her so many flowers. Howâs that possible?
âThirdâ¦Nan Chen even made a trip down here to deliver the flowers personally?â Zheng Lunlun asked, with his eyes wide open in awe.
âYes, we all saw it with our own eyes. Not only did Nan Chen gave flowers, he also gave diamonds.
What a lad. That diamond was so much bigger than a pigeonâs egg. We have never seen such a huge diamond before!â The crew member recalled the events from yesterday excitedly with joy written all over her face.
âAre you sure that you didnât get any information wrong?â Zheng Lunlun still could not believe what he heard.
âThe entire crew saw it; I canât be wrong. Oh yes, I even recorded the entire process down. But the director said that we were not allowed to disseminate the video clip.â
âQuick, show it to me.â
The crew member showed Zheng Lunlun the recorded clip. Upon seeing Nan Xingâs exaggerated actions and facial expressions, he exclaimed, âNan Xing is back?â
âWhat?â It was the crew memberâs turn to feel confused.
âNothing much. Go ahead and settle what you need to.â Zheng Lunlun waved his hands.
In the meantime, Ning Ran just arrived on set and Zheng Lunlun immediately pulled her to the side.
âWhat are you trying to do? Many people are watching, can you donât act like this? Itâs not very appropriate.â Ning Ran said.
âWhat is your relationship with my fourth uncle, Nan Xing?â Zheng Lunlun pushed Ning Ran against the wall and questioned her furiously.
âWhat uncle? What are you talking about?â Ning Ran was full of confusion.
âWhat is your relationship with Nan Xing?â Zheng Lunlun questioned once again Ning Ran started to get suspicious. Except for Luo Fei, everyone else mistook Nan Xing for Nan Chen.
How would Zheng Lunlun be able to tell the both of them apart especially when he just came today?
âDo you know Nan Xing? You know the Nan Family?â Ning Ran questioned him back.
Zheng Lunlun instantly recalled that Nan Chen had reminded him countlessly to not disclose to anyone about his relationship with the Nan family.
âNoâ¦â¦I do not know them.â Zheng Lunlun quickly denied.
Ning Ran turned around and this time, she pushed Zheng Lunlun onto the wall. âYouâre lying. Youâre definitely know them and youâre closely related to them!â
âI said no means no!â
âThatâs impossible. If you werenât close to the Nan family, you wouldnât have known that the guy was Nan Xing and not Nan Chen. Right, you mentioned fourth uncle just now. Is that Nan Xing youâre referring to?â
âNo⦠Thereâs no such a thingâ¦â¦.Noâ¦â¦â
âYoung lad, you dare to lie in front of me? You think you can fool me? I will make a call to Nan Xing now and we can clear things up.â Ning Ran said.
Zheng Lunlun paused for a while. The truth will come to light sooner or later right?
âNan Chen did not allow me to tell anyone about this. Promise me you will not tell anyone about my relationship with the Nan family.â Zheng Lunlun explained.
âWhat? Youâre really Nan Xingâs nephew?â Ning Ran was in a loss.
âYes. Not many people know of this.â Zheng Lunlun replied âHey, you hid it well. I know, youâre an undercover sent over by that poker face, am I right? I was wondering why he knew about so many things so itâs actually you reporting everything to him.â Ning Ran raged and raised her hand, giving his head a couple a slaps.
âCan you stop being so violent? I didnât betray you! Also, who is the poker face youâre talking about?â
âNan Chen is that poker face! Arenât you blind? Canât you tell that heâs a poker face?â
Zheng Lunlun froze, âDamn it, how dare you! If Nan Chen ever finds out about this youâre going to suffer a horrible death! I canât imagine the consequences.â
âI thought you said that you will not tell rat on anyone? If you do not tell him about it, how would he know?â Ning Ran raised her hand, ready to hit him again.
âI am not saying anything! Stop hitting me! Youâre a woman, please stop being so violent? What has this come into?â
Ning Ran placed her hand down and said âI didnât hear of Nan Chen having any sisters. Did you emerge from a stone?â
âYou are the one who emerged from a stone. Your whole family as well.â Zheng Lunlun furiously exclaimed.
âIf Nan Chen had an elder sister, thereâs no way I wouldnât have heard about it.â Ning Ran still couldnât believe.
âI do not have any blood ties with them.â Zheng Lunlun said.
âWhat? I am not sure of the details but to keep it short, basically my mother and her younger brother were adopted by the Nan family as their God-daughter and God-son. During that time, Nan Chen and Nan Xing were not born yet. To prevent any segregation, after they were born it was decided that based on their position, Nan Chen would be called third uncle, and Nan Xing would be called fourth uncle. In general, Nan Chen should be my second uncle but I call him third uncle instead to make it sound better, and Nan Xing as fourth uncle. Do you understand?â
Ning Ran digested what he said and sieved out two pieces of key information from the entire message.
First, Nan Chenâs sister and brother are not his biological siblings.
Second, Zheng Lunlun had no blood ties with Nan Chen and Nan Xing.
This explains why Nan Chen was known as third young master but first and second young master had never once appeared.
So her children should address Nan Chen as second uncle instead of third uncle. This is to ensure that it was in line with people calling him as third young master.
But it was odd how the fostered children of the Nan family have never once appeared. Ning Ran felt that there was more behind the story.
But this was not her family matter and it was not nice of her to dig into it.
âSo based on what you have told me, youâre my sonâs cousin. So you should be calling me Aunt?â Ning Ran said.
Zheng Lunlun was taken aback by this sudden phrase. He was flabbergasted and stood rooted to the ground.
He finally exploded, âYou wish!â
