Chapter 647: Liu Ling was snatched away as cannon fodder in life (32)

Upon reaching the courtyard, Lu Xun took the initiative to open the car door for Luo Ning.

They both stepped out and encountered many people from the courtyard.

Due to the promotion by Mr. Lu’s ex-wife and the wives of Lu the Elder and the second son,

people in the courtyard knew that Lu Xun had dealt with a village girl in the county and even brought her back to marry.

Everyone had thought that the partner Lu Xun had brought would be dressed in an earthy, traditional manner with dark, rough skin typical of a village girl.

Yet who would have thought—the young girl wore a beige long dress that not only showcased her stunning beauty and delicate fair skin but also exuded a fine demeanor, showing no signs of being a village girl.

They were certain that not just in the entire courtyard but throughout the entire Capital City, there were few as beautiful and charming as this young lady.

Several women, who had always thought highly of Lu Xun and wished for him to become their son-in-law, also abandoned any thoughts of ridiculing him at this moment.

Someone who was on good terms with Mother Lu smiled at Lu Xun and asked, "Ah Xun is back, and who is this?"

Lu Xun introduced her, "Auntie, this is my partner, Luo Ning."

"Hello, Auntie." Luo Ning smiled politely.

This auntie smiled back and remarked, "Truly a striking girl."

She asked curiously, "What do you do now?"

For some reason, she felt that a girl with such a fine demeanor couldn’t possibly still be a village girl.

Luo Ning confidently responded, "I’ve just transferred to work at the Kyoto Research Institute. Please do look out for me in the future."

One auntie, who enjoyed stirring up excitement, was astonished, "Ah, weren’t you from the village? How did you end up working at the Kyoto Research Institute?"

That was a prestigious job, not easily accessible to just anyone.

She suspected that Lu Xun had pulled some strings to squeeze his partner in, perhaps for a simple janitorial role.

Not just her but many of the onlookers shared this thought.

Lu Xun, who had previously not bothered with such trivial family matters, primarily because his mind was on other things,

managed to get back at those who made his mother suffer, mostly through discrete work or other means.

After moving to the county, he even intentionally spread rumors that his move was a forced one, inadvertently helping to cleanse some of his mother’s reputation.

Now these people wanted to tarnish Luo Ning’s reputation, which was quite disgraceful.

He spoke up, "I suppose you all have heard that our country has developed an engine that surpasses international standards, and even an aluminum alloy that is several times better than those in the U.S.?"

The identities of those residing in the court were naturally extraordinary, and their wives and daughters-in-law were far from ignorant.

"Yes, I’ve heard of it before, but no one knew who had developed it. It really is an honor for our country."

Lu Xun smiled and said, "This person is far away yet close at hand."

The crowd of aunties was puzzled, "Ah? Is it you, Ah Xun?"

Lu Xun pointed to Luo Ning beside him, "It’s my partner, Luo Ning."

"Her name was even in the newspaper. Last month’s news mentioned her. You can look it up."

"And besides, becoming an engineer at the Kyoto Research Institute without genuine capability and innovative achievements is impossible," he added.

Everyone was utterly shocked, clearly not expecting that the one behind the new engine and materials outpacing foreign competition was Lu Xun’s partner, supposedly just a village girl.

Luo Ning still had a smile on her face, pretending to ask innocently, "Aunties, this is my first time at the grand courtyard, how could you think that I am just a naive village girl who should be working in the fields?"

One aunt, who disliked Mr. Lu’s ex-wife, sneered, "It’s not like the rumors spread by the Lu Family and his daughter-in-law, saying that the family opposes Lu Xun marrying a village girl from a remote county, yet he insists on going against General Lu on purpose."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ning pretended to be aggrieved, "I didn’t expect she disliked Lu Xun, driving people all the way to the county, and now she won’t even leave me alone."

"What’s wrong with marrying a village girl? It’s not illegal."

"Why should they look down on us villagers? That’s capitalist behavior."

"Besides, I don’t see anything wrong with country folks, I indeed came from a village myself. The Chairman even said, ’Workers and farmers are kin’—the cleanest people are still the workers and the farmers." fгeewebnovёl.com

"Moreover, I heard that the aunt and her daughter-in-law also came from the village."

"How come they’ve been in the Capital City for only a few years and have started looking down on farmers?"

"Even though my residence is now registered in the Capital City, I will never forget I was born in a village. I won’t forget my roots."

That meant people like Mr. Lu’s ex-wife had forgotten where they came from.

Everyone agreed that even though the woman dressed and acted more and more like a city dweller, it couldn’t change the fact that she was a village girl.

She’s a typical example of someone who forgets their roots.

The whole family still relied on Old Lu and Mother Lu for support, yet they scorn Luo Ning, who invented new engines and materials, bringing glory to the country—such mentality was unacceptable.

Moreover, they had driven Lu Xun to work in the county. If he weren’t competent and hadn’t made his way back, wouldn’t his life have been ruined?

They had all heard that Old Lu’s eldest and second son continuously took away Lu Xun’s jobs, forcing him to be transferred to a small county.

It was too biased and quite unscrupulous.

That woman kept saying Mother Lu bullied them, but now, it doesn’t seem like that was the case.

It wasn’t just driving away Lu Xun; now she couldn’t even tolerate Lu Xun’s partner. Surely, that woman wasn’t as kind behind the scenes as she appeared on the surface.

Just forgetting one’s roots made many people resentful.

Luo Ning planted a seed of doubt in the hearts of the aunties and grandmothers in the courtyard before leaving with Lu Xun.

Because Lu Xun was bringing his partner home for dinner, not only did Mother Lu, who usually stayed at the hospital, come back, but Mr. Lu, who had been cold-shouldering Lu Xun due to a previous argument, also came back early.

Naturally, Mr. Lu’s parents, ex-wife, and others wouldn’t miss such an opportunity; they all returned.

When they saw Lu Xun bring in a beautiful and elegant young girl, everyone was surprised.

Wasn’t it said that Lu Xun’s partner was a mere village girl from a county? She didn’t look it at all!

This was also Lu Xun’s intention. He only mentioned having found a partner from the county, previously registered in a rural area, but never mentioned that Luo Ning developed new engines and materials.

He didn’t reveal that Luo Ning had, through her own capabilities, been transferred to the Kyoto Research Institute.

Of course, he had told his mother about it but hadn’t elaborated to others, leading to misunderstandings.

Mother Lu didn’t despise Luo Ning for being a village girl; after all, Old Lu was a countryman too, and she had married him just the same.

But as a mother, she still hoped her son’s partner wouldn’t be too inferior.

Now seeing Luo Ning, she was very pleased and liked her at first sight.

Mother Lu got up and walked over to Luo Ning, pulling her to sit down. "This must be Xiao Luo? Come, have a seat."

Luo Ning noticed that Mother Lu was wearing a white shirt and black long skirt, her appearance elegant and beautiful, plain yet possessing a graceful and intellectual beauty.

Lu Xun was so handsome—aside from Mr. Lu being handsome, the main genes came from Mother Lu after all.
