Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 595: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (9)

Huo Family.

In the main hall, Huo Mu and several others were sitting and drinking tea, waiting for Huo Sichen to come back...

When Huo Sichen, with a darkened face, walked in, everyone was astonished.

Logically speaking, with Lao Wu successfully divorced, they should be happy, so what did this sour expression mean?

Could it be that Luo Ning had changed her mind after going to the government office?

They all felt they had guessed right; they truly didn’t believe Luo Ning could let go of Lao Wu.

Sure enough, Luo Ning still couldn’t escape the palm of the Huo Family.

Huo Mu pressed down the corners of her mouth to suppress the smile that wanted to emerge and looked at Huo Sichen, asking, "What happened?"

Huo Sichen threw the divorce paper onto the table, "See for yourselves, Luo Ning turned the tables on me."

He had originally planned to announce his divorce from Luo Ning in the newspaper tomorrow.

Ranran’s third brother said that he would help him write a divorce statement that wouldn’t make him bear any fault.

It would only make others think that he had done well to divorce.

Who would have expected Luo Ning to slap a divorce paper in his face on the street? Not only did she loudly declare she was divorcing him, but she also accused him of deception and irresponsibility in marriage.

That shameless woman even made their lack of consummation public.

Moreover, she even said he was dirty and thanked him for his ’favor’ of not touching her, saying otherwise she would have felt disgusted.

Luo Ning had taken the initiative to give him the divorce paper and spilled the reason for her several years of childlessness, declaring he had tricked her into marriage and thrust all responsibility for the divorce onto him.

Now, how could he place a marriage announcement in the newspaper?

He was truly furious.

Huo Mu picked up the paper on the table inexplicably and read it over.

Her whole body stiffened; apparently, she hadn’t expected Luo Ning to do such a thing either.

Her face turned red with anger as she smacked the divorce paper onto the table.

"Slut, this slut, how dare she..."

The two daughters-in-law, seeing Huo Mu this enraged and using words like ’slut’ which she had never used before, couldn’t help but look at the paper on the table.

They caught a glimpse of the content, both revealing shocked and incredulous expressions.

Could this really be written by Luo Ning? It was inconceivable, how could she dare?

Yet, looking at the familiar handwriting, it was indeed Luo Ning’s characters.

This completely overturned their understanding and impression of Luo Ning.

Since when had Luo Ning been so bold and aggressive? Was she pretending to be weak and naive before?

But this action had massively humiliated both Lao Wu and the Huo Family.

It was clear that Lao Wu was the one who didn’t want Luo Ning, yet now with this divorce paper, it appeared as if Luo Ning had taken the initiative to leave Lao Wu.

Huo Mu naturally thought of this too, and she asked her son, "Did anyone see her give you the divorce paper?"

Huo Sichen’s face darkened even more, "As soon as we walked out of the government office, she took out the divorce paper and loudly said she wanted to divorce me, so many passers-by saw and heard it."

And he even had the servant with him repeat what Luo Ning had said.

He found it really too embarrassing to speak about; it was a huge loss of face.

After listening to the servant, Huo Mu was so angry she almost passed out. How could Luo Ning dare?

She immediately instructed people to suppress the information, hoping to prevent it from spreading, otherwise what face would the Huo Family have left?

She also hurriedly sent someone to check on the rear courtyard to see if Luo Ning’s dowry had been completely moved out.

If not, she planned to keep it, forcing Luo Ning to come personally to retrieve it, so that she could deal with her.

But Luo Jun, fearing her sister might change her mind, had already had the maids hire many laborers to move the dowry away early.

Luo Ning followed her own intentions, taking Xue Liu and Hai Yun away with her.

Xue Liu departed willingly, while Hai Yun was forcibly taken by Luo Jun’s people, her mouth covered to silence her protests.

Thus, Huo Mu was a step too late.

The incident at the government office’s entrance had already spread from one person to another, and the Huo Family’s attempt to stop it had come too late.

Upon hearing the news, Huo Mu was so furious she wished she could run to Luo Jun’s courtyard immediately and slap Luo Ning.

But she couldn’t afford to, lest outsiders speak even worse of them.

The greater the family status, the more they valued face and reputation.

Commander Huo also quickly learned of this matter and was just as angry, unable to help himself from smashing his favorite teacup.

He was surprised and shocked by Luo Ning’s actions.

He couldn’t help but question whether Luo Ning’s previous temperament had been an act.

Yet it didn’t seem so! He considered himself to be very accurate at judging people.

Then perhaps it was Luo Jun’s tutoring from behind the scenes, considering Luo Ning’s elder sister was known to be a shrew.

Initially, he had planned to both divorce his son and keep Luo Ning in the household, so the Huo Family’s reputation wouldn’t suffer due to the divorce. But now, that divorce paper had ruined it all.

Luo Ning had divorced his son, causing the Huo Family to lose face, and claimed there was no consummation after marriage, accusing the Huo Family of deception—what would the high society of Beicheng think of him?

Regardless, Luo Ning’s father had once been his good friend, one who had greatly assisted him.

Commander Huo’s expression was grim. In addition to cursing Luo Ning’s boldness, he also vented some anger towards Huo Mu and his son, feeling that it was their overconfidence that had botched the situation.

Now, the only option was to try and salvage the situation.

So, he sent his aide to the Luo Family with a message for Old Master Luo to handle the situation as he saw fit.

As for how to deal with it, he wouldn’t direct him explicitly; Old Master Luo would understand.

On the other hand, after returning to her own courtyard, Luo Jun finally came to terms with the reality of the situation.

With mixed feelings but also satisfaction, she looked at Luo Ning, "You’ve really changed a lot. What you did today was excellent, truly satisfying."

She felt exhilarated seeing her sister boldly throw the divorce paper, so satisfying to witness.

Then concern shined through, "However, such actions will likely bring significant trouble, you should prepare yourself mentally."

"Old Man Luo will probably intervene."

Worried her sister might misunderstand her meaning, she quickly added, "Of course, while there might be troubles, I support your decision."

"They definitely won’t let you off easily; have you thought about what you’ll do next?" she further inquired.

She truly had not expected her sister to be so decisive and imposing, unsure if it was a moment of impulse and courage or if she had already contemplated her next move.

Such a blow to the Huo Family’s dignity would not be easily forgiven by Commander Huo.

Moreover, the Luo Family might well drag their feet, siding with the Huo Family.

Old Man Luo had always been displeased with their father for overshadowing him with his outstanding abilities and not being as compliant as the first son and second son, those useless ones, which is why he had never favored their father or their branch of the family.

Four years ago, when Huo Sichen had run away, Old Man Luo had feigned demanding an explanation, ostensibly for his daughter’s sake, when in fact, it was to curry favors with Commander Huo.

Now that her sister had stepped on the Huo Family’s pride, Old Man Luo would likely be enraged as well, and possibly act against his daughter’s interests.

After all, in their eyes, as long as there were sufficient benefits, the third branch could easily be sacrificed.

She felt both thrilled and relieved at the moment, but even more so, she felt a chill of fear.

Afraid the Huo Family and the Luo Family would join hands to trouble her sister, afraid they wouldn’t be able to protect Luo Ning given the vast disparity in power.

Luo Ning reached out and held her sister’s trembling hand, aware that today’s event had deeply stirred Luo Jun.

"It’s okay; I’ve already thought through my backup plan, so don’t worry, sister," she reassured.

She gave her sister a calming look, gently patting her hand.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Jun sought to calm herself, then looked at her sister with curiosity, "What are you planning to do?"
