Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 604: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (18)

Seeing Huo Mingzhu’s youthful admiration mixed with self-confidence, the Huo family didn’t dampen her spirits.

Commander Huo and Huo Mu certainly wouldn’t stop her, for if their daughter could truly captivate Lu Xun, it would be more than ideal.

As for Lu Xun’s fiancée, they didn’t take her seriously.

Engagement aside, even if she were married, there could still be a divorce.

As long as Lu Xun took a liking to their daughter, they would naturally deal with that woman.

If Lu Xun had feelings for that woman, their family would take the initiative and suggest that the woman become a concubine.

That would never surpass their daughter’s status as the principal wife.

Huo Sichen, though doubting given Lu Xun’s aloof nature that his sister had much chance,

secretly hoped she would succeed.

After all, Lu Xun had always been more reputable than him, overshadowing him as Young Commander.

If Lu Xun became his brother-in-law in the future, the tables would be turned, and the thought was quite satisfying.

They subconsciously ignored the possibility that Lu Xun might not reciprocate Huo Mingzhu’s feelings and reject her.

If Luo Ning knew what the Huo family was thinking, she would undoubtedly praise their shamelessness and fondness for unscrupulous acts.

It’s no wonder that Huo Mingzhu admired Ran Yinyin, who also liked to steal others’ husbands – she was cut from the same cloth.

From the moment General Lu confirmed that Luo Ning was the one who had developed the gun and obtained several blueprints for new weapons from her,

he discussed with Lu Xun and secretly started a weapons factory.

The anti-inflammatory drugs and new weapons were mass-produced in private to be revealed during the North and South peace talks, dazzling all onlookers.

Luo Ning was so generous with the weapon blueprints mainly because of her trust in Old Lu – he wouldn’t betray her.

She also wished to strengthen the Southern Army to firmly repel foreign invaders in the future.

Luo Ning simultaneously became the chief consultant for the pharmaceutical company and the weapons factory, involved in everything.

The Lu Family didn’t just take Luo Ning’s blueprints for nothing, though they couldn’t repay her with the same value, so they gave her several good plots of land to expand her factories.

They also gave her more than a dozen shops in the most prosperous districts of Guang City, Hai City, and Beicheng.

When they heard Luo Ning wanted to start a film company, Lu Xun even purchased a cinema company as a gift for her.

He most certainly spared no expense for his beauty.

Watching this, Yi Ting couldn’t help but sigh that his good friend wasn’t bad at wooing women; he simply had never met one who inspired the urge to do so.

But Luo Ning was indeed worth it.

Soon, the day of Lu Xun and Luo Ning’s engagement arrived.

Neither of them was particularly interested in a Western-style engagement, so they opted for a traditional Huaxia ceremony.

Ever since coming to this Little World, Luo Ning had grown fond of qipao dresses, which had become her typical attire.

Lu Xun also loved seeing her in a qipao.

Thus, on their engagement day, Lu Xun unusually shed his military uniform, donning a traditional-style suit, while Luo Ning chose a bright red embroidered qipao.

The brilliant red on Luo Ning didn’t come off as garish but rather highlighted her fair skin and stunning beauty.

Standing together, they looked like a perfectly matched pair, both in appearance and demeanor.

The Lu Family sent out invitations for the engagement ceremony, and only those with an invitation could attend.

Those who came were mostly seeing Luo Ning for the first time, each one surprised and curious about which family’s daughter she was.

She didn’t seem to be from an insignificant household.

Several Guang City businessmen revealed what they knew about Luo Ning’s identity.

The behind-the-scenes boss of the best-selling cosmetics company in recent years, one that even exports overseas, was her.

The owner of the textile factory that broke domestic sales records with improved new fabric was also her.

And the owner behind the newest shipyard and machinery factory was still her.

These businessmen had cooperated with Luo Ning, so they were privy to these aspects of her identity.

It was a surprise to those attending the wedding.

The Lu Family had been informed in advance and were startled at the time.

They certainly hadn’t expected Luo Ning to be so capable—not only could she develop medicines, manufacture weapons, but she could also create cosmetics, new fabric, ships, and new machinery.

This was why the Lu Family had given Luo Ning land, shops, and a film company that she could make use of.

After learning about Luo Ning’s various identities, Young Master Lu had a deep conversation with her and ultimately established a cooperative relationship.

It left him with a feeling of having met a kindred spirit too late.

Of course, it was that kind of kindred regret, not an emotional one.

Second Young Master Lu got along with Luo Ning very well too, especially since Luo Ning had studied archaeology, which included much literary knowledge.

In short, no one in the Lu Family disliked Luo Ning.

Once the wedding attendees heard that Luo Ning was the person behind several thriving companies and factories in the past two years and learned she was an outstanding graduate of Xiang University, they all had the same realization.

They said that Young Marshal Lu could never marry a mediocre woman or one from an obscure family that they hadn’t heard of.

The Lu Family had not disclosed Luo Ning’s identity as Huo Sichen’s ex-wife, planning to let others recognize her once they went to Beicheng for a more astounding effect.

It would make for a more stimulating way to help Luo Ning regain her footing.

After the engagement ceremony ended, Luo Ning handed over her responsibilities and boarded the train to Beicheng with Lu Xun.

Luo Jun also followed them this time, but without bringing her children.

She only wanted to accompany her sister back to pick up their grandmother and mother to live with them, rather than let her ex-husband’s family entangle themselves in her increasingly impressive children’s lives.

Mother Lu adored children, so she asked Luo Jun to send the two kids to Lu Mansion, where she would look after them and take them to school.

With Mother Lu helping to care for the kids, plus Xue Liu staying in Guang City, Luo Jun felt quite at ease.

The Southern President’s train was very comfortable, with everyone in pairs sharing a room.

Luo Ning and Luo Jun shared one, rarely going out unless needed, as there were always people who wanted to mingle and probe their true backgrounds.

And because Luo Ning was Lu Xun’s fiancée, everyone, including the Southern President, was very courteous to her.

Upon arrival in Beicheng, Luo Ning and Luo Jun didn’t immediately return to the Luo Family, but instead went to the Lu Mansion there.

They planned to wait until Luo Ning and Lu Xun’s relationship was made public before visiting the Luo Family.

They rested for two days before starting negotiations, with Young Master Lu and Lu Xun accompanying the Southern President.

Three days after the negotiations concluded, the Northern President organized a banquet, inviting people from the South to bring their families or female companions.

High-profile families and distinguished individuals from Beicheng all attended.

Commander Huo brought his entire family.

From the Eldest Young Madam to the Fifth Young Madam and Huo Mingzhu, they all accompanied Huo Mu.

Huo Mu and the other ladies wore cheongsams, while Huo Mingzhu and Ran Yinyin wore Western dresses, each dressing up attentively.

In addition to influential Beicheng locals, ambassadors from various countries to Huaxia and foreign governors in the concessions were nearly all present.

The banquet started at eight in the evening, and at seven forty, the Southern President arrived with his wife, along with those who had come north each bringing family members or female companions.

Upon entering, everyone’s attention was captured by two individuals.
