Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 608: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (22)

Huo Sichen was humiliated to his face, his chest brimming with rage.

Were these two treating him as if he were dead?

This is how people are—when you cast them aside like worthless trash, they never seem good enough.

Yet, as his arch-enemy cherished her, he couldn’t help but wonder if he had been wrong, finding everything about it irritating.

Especially since Luo Ning had turned into a woman who could dazzle the whole crowd, what was supposed to be his was now his enemy’s.

For them to flaunt their love in front of him, her ex-husband, and mock him was simply too much.

Commander Huo, who initially wore a forced smile, was almost unable to maintain it.

Today was truly humiliating, and he had no idea how others would view and talk about the Huo Family after the banquet. novelbuddy.cσ๓

He even felt rare anger towards his daughter—it was all this fool’s fault.

His gaze toward Luo Ning and Lu Xun was ice cold. "After all, today’s banquet was hosted by the President. Let’s save personal matters for later."

If Luo Ning continued, he didn’t know what the Huo Family would become.

He never knew this former daughter-in-law had such a sharp and formidable side.

Especially seeing the papers Luo Ning held in her hand, his look grew colder; this wretched girl was clearly well-prepared today.

It seemed that during her years in the Huo Family, Luo Ning had hidden her capabilities deep, even deceiving him.

The more he explained, the less clear it became, so he couldn’t let this topic continue.

Luo Ning gave a small laugh, "Since Commander Huo has spoken, we have no desire to continue. After all, justice lies in people’s hearts."

She didn’t plan to continue, leaving others to wonder—wasn’t that better?

Commander Huo felt an urge to strangle Luo Ning.

What did she mean by that? By saying justice lies in people’s hearts, was she implying he was guilty and that’s why he wanted to stop her?

Huo Mu and the others were furious, never expecting Luo Ning to pull such a strong move.

Was it just because she relied on the Lu Family’s influence to act so arrogant?

Wait until Lu Xun was tired of her, she’d have her share of tears.

Huo Mu felt the burning gazes of the noblewomen of Beicheng surrounding her, comments pouring in about her true character.

She indeed had spent quite a lot of Luo Ning’s money, but that was all given willingly by Luo Ning as a token of respect for her mother-in-law.

What was wrong with spending on her sisters-in-law?

She felt extremely wronged and resentful in her heart but couldn’t voice it in such a setting.

Ran Yinyin was also furious to death.

Hearing Luo Ning belittle Huo Sichen and even thanking him for the divorce made her feel like she was picking up Luo Ning’s unwanted trash.

It made the usually proud Ran Yinyin want to tear that vixen-like face of Luo Ning.

The Ran Family was also displeased, but such an occasion was not suitable to continue, or else the ones losing face would only be the Huo and Ran Families.

After all, since leaving the Huo Family, Luo Ning had become incredibly dazzling, her capabilities in no way inferior to a man’s.

What did this imply? It suggested the Huo Family really wasn’t a good place.

Moreover, the President hoped for a successful negotiation this time and wanted to curry favor with the Lu Family, or at least show some goodwill, so owing to Lu Xun’s influence, they had to endure Luo Ning.

But they noted this incident.

Especially Second Young Master Ran—his textile factory and cosmetic company had lost a lot of business to Luo Ning’s firm over the past two years.

The medical factory was also facing fierce competition from the Southern Yi Family.

His business hadn’t been going well for over a year.

He really hadn’t expected that Lu Xun’s fiancée would be the old-fashioned woman who stole her sibling’s husband.

And also the one who was stealing his business.

Everyone tacitly ended the topic, and just then, a dozen foreigners arrived.

Commander Huo with a full smile greeted Huo Sichen and others and headed over to meet them.

As he approached Huo Mu, his deep, fathomless eyes glanced at her.

Huo Mu realized what was going on—her husband was on the verge of exploding in anger.

Watching her daughter crying breathlessly, her face pale, she felt both heartache and resentment.

She signaled her eldest daughter-in-law with her eyes, and she went forward to pull Huo Mingzhu along.

The eldest daughter-in-law also hurriedly stepped forward, grabbing Huo Mingzhu’s other hand.

The two of them pulled Huo Mingzhu to a corner to sit down; today was a truly humiliating day.

It made them all want to leave, but leaving now would be even more embarrassing.

Huo Mingzhu, sitting in the corner and still crying heartbrokenly, said, "Mom, Luo Ning, that vixen, is too much. You and Dad must take revenge for me."

It was all because of Luo Ning; otherwise, how could she have been so humiliated?

Huo Mu was relieved to have pulled her daughter to a secluded corner; otherwise, if others heard these words, it would bring further disgrace.

It would even make people think Luo Ning was right, that her daughter was ill-mannered.

She gently patted Huo Mingzhu’s hand, "Is ’vixen’ a word a young girl should use?"

"Today Luo Ning bullied you, we naturally won’t let her get away with it, but you shouldn’t disgrace yourself any further," she whispered.

Huo Mingzhu looked up to see her mother’s angry and fierce eyes, got a fright, and reluctantly nodded, "Understood."

She mentally noted another grievance against Luo Ning.

She refused to believe that Luo Ning had the capability to run a factory that made huge profits daily.

Behind the scenes, it must be Lu Xun supporting, then helping Luo Ning the vixen pose as someone significant.

But as she thought about it, her heart ached even more.

How could he treat her like this, what was so good about Luo Ning, the divorced wife?

At this point, the expressions on the faces of the other young madams of the Huo family were quite ugly; internally, they cursed Huo Mingzhu for losing face.

At such a banquet, to directly run up to Young Marshal Lu and expose his fiancée’s identity, wasn’t that crazy?

They had to admit Luo Ning was right, Huo Mingzhu was a fool.

Lu Xun was the Young Marshal; would he not be aware of Luo Ning’s status before he became engaged to her?

Now, not only was she humiliated, but they all lost face as well.

Especially when Luo Ning read out that bill, they really wished they could leave immediately.

The younger sister-in-law buying things with the elder sister-in-law’s money—to talk about this outside would surely be a laughing stock.

Luo Ning’s father had died; those unaware might think they were exploiting a widow.

Meanwhile, the women of the Huo family were angrily gossiping; on the other side, Commander Huo and the Northern President also took the initiative to welcome the foreign governors.

The Southern President and Young Master Lu also stepped forward and exchanged greetings.

The foreigners all wore smiles, but it was evident that their smiles weren’t very sincere.

Most of the foreigners arrived with an air of superiority.

Several governors surrounded a few foreigners dressed in noble attire, indicating these individuals held significant status.

At this moment, a young foreigner caught sight of Luo Ning approaching and was initially dazzled, then his eyes filled with delight.

He began speaking in somewhat broken Huaxia, "Luo, what are you doing here?"

This was a handsome, blond young man dressed like a noble from Ou Island.

Luo Ning, arm in arm with Lu Xun, walked over and smiled, "Qiao Bu, long time no see!"

Qiao Bu took Luo Ning’s hand and shook it, "My dear Luo, I’m so pleased to see you here."

He wanted to give Luo Ning a hand kiss or a hug, but knowing she disliked such contact,

and the man beside her gave off a very dangerous vibe, he decided to stick with the customary Huaxia handshake instead.

Luo Ning smiled and asked, "What brings you to Beicheng?"

This man was an Earl from Great Britain, his father a powerful Duke with substantial authority.
