Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 611: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (25)

Old Master Luo’s excitement increased slightly upon seeing Lu Xun’s attitude.

Indeed, Lu Xun greatly valued Luo Ning, and Luo Ning in turn cared deeply for her Grandma and mother.

As long as he could control these two, he’d be able to skin a layer off both Luo Ning and Luo Jun.

His smile deepened, "Young Marshal Lu, Ningning, Junjun, please take a seat!"

After everyone was seated, the maids served fine tea.

Luo Ning elegantly took a sip of her tea and said meaningfully, "Whether before I got married, or after, this is the first time I’ve tasted such fine tea in the Luo Family house."

Luo Jun also took a sip, "You’re right, it’s really quite good."

Old Master Luo: "..." These two granddaughters had just returned and were already causing trouble; they were being truly unfilial.

But he didn’t dare admonish them in front of Lu Xun.

Instead, he chuckled awkwardly, "This is a batch of tea I acquired just this year, so you wouldn’t have had it before."

Then he changed the subject, "Ningning, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

They had opened a factory in Guang City and were now affiliated with the Lu Family; surely they wouldn’t settle down in Beicheng.

Luo Ning replied, "Maybe ten days to half a month."

There was much to handle this time back in Beicheng, not only to slap the Huo Family down but also to move Grandma and Mother out, and to retrieve the items from the safe.

Old Master Luo asked with a smile, "Then during your stay in Beicheng, why don’t you come to live here? We’ve kept your rooms ready."

He had already ordered them to be cleaned.

"You could keep your Grandma and mother company." He added meaningfully.

Luo Ning couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush, "There’s no need for that, we’re staying at Lu Mansion."

"We’ve come back today to take Grandma and Mother to stay at Lu Mansion for a while."

She didn’t outright say they intended to move them to Guang City, fearing Old Man Luo might make a desperate move.

She had plenty of matters recently and didn’t wish to entangle with the Luo Family.

Old Master Luo’s smile stiffened, "Isn’t that somewhat inappropriate?"

Luo Ning countered, "What’s inappropriate about it?"

Old Master Luo said, "Them running to your fiancé’s house to live – people will gossip about the Luo Family having no manners."

Luo Ning didn’t respond, but Lu Xun spoke up first, "I don’t mind, it was actually my suggestion to Luo Ning to invite her Grandma and mother to stay at Lu Mansion."

Old Master Luo: "..." They hadn’t even married yet, and Young Marshal Lu had already called out to Grandma and Mother – he really was no ordinary person.

He felt displeased, but dared not openly object.

He circumvented, "Why don’t Ningning and her sister just come back to the Luo house to live? Their Grandma and mother would be more comfortable."

Lu Xun ignored him and looked towards Grandma Luo and Mother Luo.

He inquired, "Grandma, Mother, Ningning, and her sister miss you both, so they would like to invite you to Lu Mansion for a stay, would that be alright?"

Grandma Luo and Mother Luo hadn’t expected Lu Xun to address them this way.

They smiled and nodded, "Of course!"

Luo Jun had been making meaningful glances at them just now; they also remembered what Luo Ning said three years ago.

They harbored resentment and no affection for the Luo Family, so naturally, they would choose to follow their granddaughter/daughter.

Who would want to stay and look at Old Man Luo’s face and endure the cold eyes of the first and second houses.

Lu Xun showed a warm smile, "Thank you to Grandma and Mother for granting our wish!"

Old Master Luo had not expected Luo Ning and Lu Xun to pull such a move, "They’re just joking, Young Marshal Lu, don’t take it seriously."

"Ningning and Junjun should still return here to live." He finished speaking and cast a warning glance covertly towards Grandma Luo and Mother Luo.

However, Lu Xun refusing strongly, "No need, they will stay at Lu Mansion."

After speaking, he raised his hand and clapped, suddenly a troop with guns strapped to their backs charged in.

He commanded, "Go help pack the luggage for the Young Madam’s Grandma and mother, and move them to Lu Mansion."

The troops saluted in unison, "Yes, sir!"

At the same time, he also invited Grandma Luo and one other to check if there was anything that needed packing.

Both women ignored the warning look Old Master Luo gave them and, with smiles on their faces, rose to follow the platoon leader to the backyard.

Over the years, they had certainly endured enough mistreatment.

Seeing Old Man Luo with a dark expression on his face delighted them.

Old Master Luo was so angry that his beard trembled. "Young Marshal Lu, don’t you think this is a bit too much?"

Lu Xun raised an eyebrow. "I don’t think it’s too much."

Then he took out a gun from his waistband, toying with it, the threat obvious. "Does Old Master Luo want to go against me?"

The two men standing behind him also looked toward Old Master Luo and the others, as if they would draw their guns if there was any sign of resistance.

Old Master Luo and his group: "..." This was no Southern Army; they were clearly bandits.

But faced with overpowering strength, they could only bow their heads even in their own home.

Otherwise, what would they do if Young Marshal Lu really shot them? Who could they turn to for justice?

Neither the President nor the Huo Family would definitely stand up for them.

Old Master Luo could only say, "Fine, let them go to Lu Mansion to accompany Ningning for a few days, and I will come to pick them up myself after that."

His plans were completely shattered, the feeling of events spiraling out of control, beyond his grasp.

It was then that Lu Xun put the gun away. "That’s more like it."

Soon, Grandma Luo and the other had packed their things. Luo Ning declined Old Master Luo’s invitation for lunch and, under Lu Xun’s escort, left with her entourage from the Luo Family’s residence.

This made Old Master Luo so angry that he smashed things around in the living room.

He also decided that he would come to fetch them in a few days, no matter what it took to keep them firmly in his grasp; otherwise, what leverage could he have over Luo Ning and Luo Jun?

The news that Grandma Luo and Mother Luo had been forcefully taken to Lu Mansion by Lu Xun spread quickly.

Everyone was once again talking about Young Marshal Lu’s care and affection for his fiancée, Luo Ning, and the women couldn’t help but envy her.

Meanwhile, Huo Mingzhu was cursing and smashing things around at home.

In the following days, Lu Xun was rather busy, spending every day accompanying the Southern President on visits and meetings.

Luo Ning and Luo Jun spent their days at home with Grandma and Mother Luo, refusing all visitation invitations.

They only met with known foreigners to discuss business and did not stay out.

After a few more days, Lu Xun was to accompany the Southern President on a trip to the east of the city for two days, which Luo Ning did not attend.

On the second day after Lu Xun left, Luo Ning departed from Lu Mansion.

Having honed her sharp senses in the apocalypse, she noticed she was being followed as soon as she stepped out the door.

However, this was expected; it would have been surprising if the Huo Family weren’t keeping tabs on her.

Indifferently, she instructed the driver to head straight to the headquarters of the Beicheng International Bank.

This was an International Bank jointly established by several countries, which was why neither the Northern President nor Commander Huo could forcefully take what was inside the safety deposit boxes.

At the same time as Luo Ning entered the bank, Commander Huo and Huo Sichen received the news.

Huo Sichen had been looking for an opportunity to have a chance encounter with Luo Ning these past few days, but since she never left the house, he couldn’t just go to Lu Mansion to knock on her door.

Just a moment ago, upon hearing that Luo Ning had finally left the mansion, he got ready to arrange a coincidental meeting.

To his surprise, the spy reported that Luo Ning had gone directly to the bank.

Commander Huo told Huo Sichen, "Go."

He emphasized again, "If it’s there, you must get it."

Huo Sichen nodded, "Understood!"

After arriving at the bank, Luo Ning found a manager in charge of safety deposit boxes and presented her key.

After verifying her information, the manager escorted her to the location of her safety deposit box and then tactfully left.

Luo Ning used the key and the password to open the safety deposit box and took out a file folder.

She opened the folder to review its contents and, after seeing what was inside, understood why the Huo Family was so desperate to have it.

She put everything back and walked out of the bank with the file folder in hand.

Just as she reached the entrance of the bank, she encountered Huo Sichen who seemed to be coming in on some errand.
