Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 651: Liu Ling was snatched away as cannon fodder in life (Complete)
Chapter 651: Liu Ling was snatched away as cannon fodder in life (Complete)
Before long,
Under the pressure of Old Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu, along with persuasion letters from home, and the requests of their two sons,
Mr. Lu remarried his ex-wife and even held several wedding banquets.
Upon learning this, Mother Lu didn’t take it too hard because she had already given up hope and indeed had anticipated this outcome.
Lu Xun’s affection for Mr. Lu had been completely worn away.
The day when Mother Luo angrily questioned Father Luo about who was the backstabber, he saw a flicker in Father Luo’s eyes.
It indicated that Father Luo must have found out it was those two brothers who had bought off someone to do it, but because Lu Xun didn’t die, he had easily forgiven them again.
Thus, after his parents divorced and he chose to stay with his mother, he published a declaration in the newspaper severing his relationship with his father.
He also secretly manipulated things so that Lu the Elder, who had taken over his job, was fired.
Lu Laoer, who was originally promoted thanks to Mr. Lu’s connections, was suddenly replaced by someone else.
When Mr. Lu found out, he was furious, he called Lu Xun’s work, and Lu Xun ignored him completely.
One day, he personally went to find Lu Xun, questioning why he severed ties and sabotaged his two older brothers.
Lu Xun only countered with one question, asking if he knew who had paid someone to stab him, almost causing his death.
Mr. Lu was silenced immediately and told Lu Xun to take good care of himself, then left with a sense of guilt.
Following that, Lu Xun and Luo Ning got their marriage certificate and held several wedding banquets, but did not invite Mr. Lu and the Lu Family members.
Mr. Lu and his ex-wife heard about it later from others.
Mr. Lu was heartbroken that his son didn’t even invite him to his wedding, and he was also laughed at for a long time by adversaries because of this.
After that, they also heard about Luo Ning’s position as an engineer at the Kyoto Research Institute.
The ex-wife and two sons were jealous to death, but since Lu Xun had detached from the Lu Family, they couldn’t do anything about him and his mother.
Three years later, Mr. Lu still couldn’t avoid the repercussions of that movement.
He was taken advantage of by adversaries and thus severely oppressed.
As the situation became more serious, before Mr. Lu could be labeled as a "capitalist roader," his two sons reported him.
Consequently, he was arrested and later sent to the countryside for labor reeducation.
Before being sent away, his ex-wife proposed a divorce, and his two sons also published a notice in the newspaper severing father-son ties with him.
This was a huge blow to Mr. Lu because the evidence used against him was entirely for his two sons.
When the eldest son got fired, the complaints from home and his ex-wife were incessant, so he had to use connections to secure another decent job for the eldest son.
When the second son’s promotion was obstructed, he also gave in to the continuous nagging and requests, again using his connections to transfer the second son to another factory where he took up a director position.
Yet the ex-wife and sons still claimed it was because he wronged them that they reported him.
Due to the reporting and the publication of severing ties, the ex-wife and sons not only avoided involvement but also managed to preserve their current residence and jobs.
They decisively betrayed their biological father for the sake of their jobs and personal interests.
This was the compensation promised to them by the mastermind behind the scenes.
Mr. Lu never expected that after giving up so much, even losing a wife and another son he cherished, the outcome would be betrayal and denunciation by his two sons for their own interests and self-preservation—it was utterly disheartening.
By this time, Mother Lu had remarried a single medical doctor who had always liked her, and she was living much more happily than when she was with Mr. Lu.
After hearing about Mr.Lu’s situation, she could only sigh that he got what he deserved.
She had long said those people were ingrates, but Mr. Lu simply wouldn’t listen and still insisted on being overly kind to them.
Lu Xun also felt it was a self-inflicted fate for his father; those ingrates were all spoiled by his father himself.
Before those people came into the picture, Mr. Lu had been good to Lu Xun, so when Mr. Lu was sent away, he prepared some clothes and food to send after him.
And with his actions, he purposefully contrasted himself with those ingrates, ensuring that Mr. Lu descended with regret in his heart.
Mr. Lu had not expected that the son who had been consistently overlooked and with whom he had severed father-son ties long ago would be the one to see him off when he fell from grace.
He felt an indescribable complexity and a regret so intense it was unbearable.
Subsequently, Lu Xun moved from behind to the forefront, climbing the ladder, step by step.
Luo Ning also developed many new materials and machinery that surpassed international standards.
She even received the world’s most prestigious physics award, the Bell Prize, becoming the most famous scientist globally.
Over a decade later.
Father Luo and Mother Luo were forced out of their jobs, taking up two temporary positions in the county, and still had to support their two sons, leading a life of poverty and destitution.
The Luo Family was the same, merely scraping by with the bare necessities while others in the village contracted land or went out to work.
During the New Year, Father Luo and Mother Luo took their two sons and daughters-in-law back to their hometown.
The family sat down to a meal while watching television.
Seeing Luo Ning, who was still young and beautiful, appear on the news, they all felt an indescribable sense of regret.
They had never imagined that Luo Ning would be the most successful in the family, not only marrying Lu Xun, a high-ranking individual from the Capital City, but also becoming a world-renowned scientist herself.
If they had known this would be the case, they would have showered Luo Ning with concern, and now they could have shared in her success instead of living in such poverty.
On the other side, after finishing her chores, Luo Zhu finally had the chance to sit down and watch TV, only to see the news of Lu Xun and his scientist wife Luo Ning visiting abroad.
She couldn’t help but spawn feelings of jealousy, envy, and resentment.
After being married off by her own brothers to an old man, not only did she have to work from dawn to dusk and care for unruly children, but she also suffered frequent physical abuse from her husband.
She ran away twice, only to be caught and brought back, beaten so severely she couldn’t even get out of bed, which deterred her from any more attempts.
Now she deeply regretted it.
If, after her rebirth, she hadn’t stolen Luo Sanya’s marriage, Luo Sanya would have still married Jiang Congyi and would not have become a scientist, nor could she have married someone of Lu Xun’s stature and lived an even better and more prestigious life than in her previous life.
Or if she had suppressed her jealousy and spite and gravitated toward Luo Sanya earlier, she would have certainly never married this abusive old man.
Just like Daya and others who, with Luo Sanya’s help, either married into good families or got into university and landed good jobs.
In her rebirth, she had been so blinded by greed that she schemed to marry that scoundrel Jiang Congyi.
If Luo Ning knew her thoughts, she would find them truly absurd.
Given the chance to start over, why not strive to succeed on her own, or earn money to live the life she desired?
Why always think about snatching from others or clinging to someone successful? She simply couldn’t understand.
Meanwhile, having been rehabilitated and incessantly pestered by his ex-wife and two unemployed sons, Mr. Lu also saw the couple on television and felt regret.
He realized that in his attempts to compensate his ex-wife and others, he should not have brought them back home to live together, continually expecting his wife and child to give way and ultimately losing the truly precious ones.
When he was sent down, Lu Xun still sent packages to him every year.
But once he was rehabilitated and returned to his position, desiring to reconcile with his son Lu Xun and restore their father-son relationship, he was rejected.
Lu Xun also refused any association with him.
This, compared with his return to power, which attracted his ex-wife and two unemployed sons like flies, deeply saddened him. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
And seeing how happily Mother Lu had remarried, he felt a painful twinge in his heart.
He was so filled with regret that it often cost him sleep, leading him to smoke or drink until dawn.
Because of this, he had exhausted all feelings of indebtedness towards his ex-wife and others, and even harbored considerable resentment.
This time, no matter how they begged and persisted, he merely watched them struggle in their poverty without offering a helping hand.
It’s just a pity that there’s no medicine for regret in this world, so their regrets were of no use.
