Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 602: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (16)

Luo Ning gave General Lu a new type of pistol.

She could make better and more sophisticated pistols, but there was the same problem, the current level of technology could not meet the production requirements.

However, this pistol was the best she could come up with, based on the existing firearms and the level of technological productivity.

In terms of accuracy, range, and lethality, its performance was more than ten times stronger than the current best pistol.

The gift for Mother Lu was Luo Ning’s latest self-developed perfume and lipstick.

It had to be said that Luo Ning’s gifts hit the mark for both recipients.

Especially General Lu, who was surprised to see that the gift was a pistol, and became so attached to the new model that he played with it incessantly.

He couldn’t resist saying, "I’m going to try it out."

The Lu Family’s backyard had an area specifically for shooting practice, and his biggest hobby was collecting weapons, hence the itch to try it out.

Luo Ning said with a smile, "Please, Uncle Lu, as you like."

Lu Xun was also curious about the performance of the pistol Luo Ning had given his father, so he stood up, "Dad, I’ll join you in trying it out."

Mother Lu, with a scornful smile and a wave of her hand, said, "You two are really a couple of rough men, go if you want to."

Then turning to Luo Ning, she said, "Don’t mind them, let’s chat and have tea."

Luo Ning nodded, "Alright!"

Mother Lu was a woman of substance, with broad knowledge, and formerly a well-educated lady from an aristocratic family, adept in the arts of zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting.

Since her son was set on a woman, they naturally knew about Luo Ning’s background.

As for Luo Ning being a divorced woman, Mother Lu and her husband did not despise her.

Mother Lu even liked such a strong and independent woman; since the ex-husband was such a scoundrel, it was refreshing and relieving to hear that she divorced him.

So even before they met, she had a natural fondness for Luo Ning.

Knowing that Luo Ning had once been a lady of an aristocratic family, she considerately brought up topics related to the cultural arts.

Having once been a Princess Consort and specially studied the four arts, Luo Ning was not only able to keep up with Mother Lu’s conversation but also had her unique insights.

This pleased Mother Lu greatly, as her family was full of brutes, and her other two daughters-in-law, although also from old aristocratic families, were not versed in these areas.

The second daughter-in-law, whom her second son had met while abroad, was even less skilled in these traditional arts.

It was rare to find a daughter-in-law who shared her interests, and she couldn’t wait to have her third son marry Luo Ning in a few days.

Besides these cultural topics, Luo Ning was particularly aligned with her tastes even when discussing food, clothing, makeup, and dress.

How could there be such a girl that she liked so much?

If her son dared to do something like what Huo Sichen did, she would definitely break his legs.

The two of them chatted happily over tea.

On the other side, after General Lu tried out his gifted pistol, his eyes were full of astonishment.

"Where did Luo Ning get this pistol from? Its performance is too strong."

You don’t even have to aim carefully with this thing; just roughly aim and shoot, and almost all shots hit nine or ten rings.

Moreover, the recoil is less than the guns they are currently using, and the range and power are much better than the pistols he had, almost on par with a sniper rifle.

While he loved it, he was also curious where Luo Ning got it from and if he could get a batch of them?

After the tests, the two sat in the courtyard drinking tea.

Lu Xun said with a smile, "She probably developed it herself."

He had heard Luo Ning mention before that she had developed several weapons.

He knew that she had specialized in mechanics and weaponry at Xiang University and had even spent over half a year in countries D and M for an exchange program because of her major.

Since this pistol was not available on the market and considering what Luo Ning had said, Lu Xun guessed it was developed by his girlfriend.

"Pfft!" General Lu spat out his tea, "Really? Is that true?"

Lu Xun, however, nodded with an unchanged expression, "Of course."

Pride filled his eyes—he did have good judgment after all, "And I think I forgot to mention earlier, the anti-inflammatory drugs that the Yi Family has recently produced were developed by Luo Ning."

In fact, he didn’t really forget; he’d deliberately saved it for a big reveal now.

As expected, General Lu coughed violently in surprise.

He glared at Lu Xun, "You unfilial son, you did that on purpose."

That stinker was just showing off how impressive his wife was, hmph!

Lu Xun laughed lightly as he passed the tea cup, "Father knows me best."

General Lu glared at his younger son again, "You are simply unbearable to watch!"

Nonetheless, he had to admit his son had an excellent eye.

"You’ve found a good wife."

He couldn’t help showing a hint of smugness, "I wonder if Old Man Huo and his son, after learning of Luo Ning’s capabilities, will regret it so much they’ll feel like jumping up and down in frustration."

He hated the Huo family’s father and sons the most and loved seeing them be the butt of the joke.

Lu Xun sneered, "Regret is useless."

Anyone who dared covet his woman would pay the price.

General Lu took a sip of tea, "The negotiations between the North and South are expected to take place the month after next. The President will go to Beicheng to meet with the Northern President, and our Lu Family will also send a representative."

"Originally, I was going to let your elder brother go, but if you want to go, you can go together."

He would never admit that he simply wanted his son to bring Luo Ning to Beicheng to show off in front of the Huo family.

Lu Xun could easily see through his father’s thoughts, "Alright, I’ll bring Luo Ning along. She hasn’t returned to Beicheng in a long time."

A few days ago, Luo Ning had mentioned that she wanted to find time to go back to Beicheng to visit her grandma and mother, and bring them out to live with her.

Going north for the negotiations would be a perfect opportunity, and he would protect her and help fulfill her wish.

At the same time, he’d let the people of Beicheng know that the Huo Family had blind eyes, mistaking a pearl for a fish’s eye.

General Lu patted his son’s shoulder, "Well done!"

The two did not linger in the backyard any longer and returned to the living room together.

Seeing Mother Lu and Luo Ning chatting happily, smiles appeared on both of their faces.

As dinner approached, Young Master Lu, Second Young Master Lu, and Miss Lu returned home.

All three of them had a good first impression of Luo Ning, and the two brothers from the Lu family were very polite.

Upon learning that Luo Ning was the woman who divorced Huo Sichen, Lu Xiaomei took a special liking to her.

After dinner, she stuck around to chat with Luo Ning and liked her soon-to-be sister-in-law even more.

Lu Xiaomei’s name was Lu Mingzhu, half a year older than Lady Huo.

It wasn’t clear if it was a coincidence or if the Huo Family had done it on purpose, but Miss Huo’s name was Huo Mingzhu.

Although both were named ’Mingzhu,’ their personalities were worlds apart.

Lu Mingzhu was cheerful, lively, innocent, and polite, without the arrogant airs and haughtiness of Huo Mingzhu.

Luo Ning felt that the upbringing of the Lu Family was much better than that of the Huo Family. Indeed, trash would always be trash.

Both parties were very satisfied with today’s visit, and Commander Huo was even more decisive, allowing Lu Xun and Luo Ning to get engaged first.

Commander Huo wanted to secure Luo Ning for Lu Xun when he went north, so they scheduled their engagement for the month after next.

Right after the engagement, it would be perfect timing to go north.

In front of Luo Ning, General Lu did not hide his eagerness to slap the Huo Family in the face. The Lu Family was very sincere in treating their own and those they approved of.

This was precisely in line with Luo Ning’s thinking. When she returned to Beicheng, it would be time to give the Huo Family a good slap in the face.
