Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 610: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (24)

Before, the Northern President was dissatisfied with Commander Huo due to some differences of opinion, and now, after the banquet, he was even more dissatisfied.

They were all in the same boat, able to communicate and resolve conflicts.

But with the South, they were true competitors.

Even if there was a treaty, they wouldn’t allow the other side to develop and grow strong.

Now, with Luo Ning suddenly becoming a variable, it was uncertain whether the negotiations about weapons and cars could be concluded.

If in the end, it benefitted the Lu Family instead, they would be the ones to vomit blood from frustration, after all, they had arranged for the person to come from M country.

Commander Huo helplessly said, "We didn’t anticipate Luo Ning possessing such capability before."

"I don’t know if she hid her skills too well at the Huo Family or it was only after she left that she uncovered such talent in diplomacy." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

He actually leaned toward the latter, absolutely unwilling to admit that they had failed to recognize her true worth.

If they had known Luo Ning had such abilities, how could they possibly let her go?

"Can we still salvage this?" the Northern President asked, tapping his fingers on the desk.

Commander Huo replied with difficulty, "It’s not very likely."

If Luo Ning hadn’t gotten involved with Lu Xun, they could have used a combination of soft and harsh tactics to bring her back to the Huo Family, but now it was difficult.

Especially since he could feel that Luo Ning harbored deep resentments towards the Huo Family, and she did not seem as affectionately attached to his youngest son as before, making her not so easy to coax.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have publicly torn and trampled on the Huo Family at the banquet.

This was another point for which he now held great resentment towards Luo Ning.

The President took a deep breath, "Do you think she has it?"

Commander Huo knew what he was referring to and uncertainly said, "Hard to say, from the time she married into the Huo Family to when she disappeared and returned, she never once visited that bank safe."

He had always sent people to guard it every day, so he knew this.

The President pondered then said, "Keep watching it. If we get what’s in that safe, it won’t matter if we couldn’t finalize things with the M country’s weapons company."

"I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that this time Luo Ning came back, the things in the safe might be retrievable."

He always felt that Luo Ning was no simple character, hiding quite a bit while previously at the Huo Family, possibly holding on to the very items they desired.

Commander Huo agreed, "I have the same feeling, I’ll keep watching."

Luo Ning was his daughter, since she hid so well, she definitely was just as cunning, and the items could very well be in her possession.

The two spoke a few more words, then Commander Huo left with Huo Sichen.

Sitting in the car on the way home, Commander Huo raised his hand to rub his temple and said, "Lao Wu, you start trying to get close to Luo Ning tomorrow."

"If you can reawaken her affection and love for you, that would be best; if not, find a way to extract information from her."

Huo Sichen, unlike his previous flamboyant and arrogant demeanor, became composed and chilling, "I understand."

Even Ran Yinyin, were she here, would be startled by such a transformation in his demeanor, for she had never seen it before.

But this was the real him.

After the banquet, as Luo Ning walked out of the venue with Lu Xun, she saw Old Master Luo and his two sons walking toward them with beaming smiles.

Old Master Luo looked at Luo Ning with a caring expression, "Ningning, your grandma and mother miss you very much. When will you come home to see them?"

He knew Luo Ning harbored resentments against him and the Luo Family, so he didn’t ask why she didn’t return home after coming back to Beicheng, but instead used the people she cared about as a lure.

Old Master Luo and his two sons were shocked today.

They hadn’t expected Luo Ning, who had run away three years ago, to have transformed into the fiancee of Young Marshal Lu.

She was also managing several highly profitable factories and knew many influential foreigners.

At the banquet, after learning of Luo Ning’s status, they had originally wanted to approach her.

But they saw the Huo Family being humiliated by Luo Ning and Young Marshal Lu joining forces, so they restrained themselves.

Yet, they couldn’t resist the lure of the prize and waited at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Luo Ning gave Old Master Luo a quasi-smiling look, "I’ll be back tomorrow."

She feared that after tomorrow, the old man would wish she had never returned.

A flicker of joy appeared in Old Master Luo’s eyes, "I’ll prepare a family feast tomorrow."

He then respectfully turned to Lu Xun with a smile, "I wonder if Young Marshal Lu would be free to come to my humble home for a meal?"

Lu Xun didn’t immediately respond, but turned to Luo Ning, "What do you think?"

Luo Ning smiled slightly, "Let’s go then, I’d like to see Grandma and my mother."

Lu Xun affectionately nodded, "Alright!"

Only then did he coolly say to Old Master Luo, "Tomorrow I’ll bring Luo Ning."

Old Master Luo was immensely startled, he hadn’t expected Young Marshal Lu to place such importance on his divorced granddaughter.

But now his granddaughter indeed had the capital; he had never noticed before how beautiful, talented, and capable she was.

His face beamed with a smile, "Having Young Marshal Lu grace us with his presence will certainly add luster to the Luo Family."

He had always wanted to cling to a powerful tree, but had repeatedly failed—the granddaughter he valued the least had succeeded, which left him with mixed feelings.

Indeed, the son born to him was meant to thwart him, as was the daughter.

He narrowed his eyes, but he held two trump cards that Luo Ning valued; and with the Luo Family being her maternal home, she would surely help revitalize the Luo Family.

Old Man Luo was a clever person, and after successfully extending the invitation, he tactfully left.

After Luo Ning and Lu Xun got into the car.

Lu Xun asked, "Are you planning to take Grandma and Mother out tomorrow?"

Luo Ning nodded, "Yes, Old Man Luo is a self-serving man. If we can’t get them out tomorrow, it will be more difficult in the future."

Lu Xun placed an arm around her waist and said, "Tomorrow, I’ll bring some men along. If Old Man Luo is unwilling, we’ll just take them."

Luo Ning leaned on his shoulder and chuckled, "That’s what I was thinking."

She didn’t care about her so-called reputation, so if soft tactics didn’t work, they would simply use force.

The next day at noon, Lu Xun took Luo Ning to the Luo Family, and Luo Jun also came along.

Grandma Luo and Mother Luo anxiously awaited.

The two were shocked and startled when they learnt the previous night that Luo Ning had become Young Marshal Lu’s fiancée.

They weren’t excited like Old Master Luo and others who sought to establish connections; concern was more prominent.

With Young Marshal Lu’s high status and position, would Luo Ning have to compromise and suffer?

When they saw the couple walking in hand in hand, they were stupefied.

Was this their granddaughter/daughter? She was too resplendently beautiful, elegant, and dignified.

After the shock, seeing Luo Ning’s face filled with genuine happiness and not a pretense, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing their eldest granddaughter/daughter had also changed significantly, they quickly accepted the reality and felt delighted.

It seemed that they had been doing well over these three years.

Luo Ning and Luo Jun stepped forward to exchange greetings and then introduced Lu Xun.

Lu Xun was very polite to them, and his demeanor was gentle, leaving Grandma Luo flattered.

Their fondness for Lu Xun soared, for a man who respects a woman’s relatives truly cares.

Unlike Lu Xun, Huo Sichen’s attitude toward them was perfunctory and arrogant.

They were more satisfied with and fond of Lu Xun.
