Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 656: Interstellar Withering Imperial Rose Cannon Fodder (5)
Chapter 656: Interstellar Withering Imperial Rose Cannon Fodder (5)
Father Luo was stationed at the Border Star year round; although he loved his daughter, they didn’t spend much real quality time together.
Moreover, holding a senior position and being of a colder disposition, whenever he contacted or met his daughter, he tried to be as gentle as possible, but still came across as stern and serious.
This made the former self not feel very close to her father.
After listening to that "friend" constantly whispering in her ear, she even believed at one point that Father Luo didn’t love her.
It wasn’t until after her death that Mr. Lu sought revenge for her, and ultimately got killed himself, that the former self had a true awakening.
It was then that she was full of resentment, leading to the arrival of Luo Ning.
Being empathically affected, when Luo Ning saw the young and alive Father Luo again, she couldn’t help but feel her eyes well up with tears.
Before Luo Ning could speak, Father Luo, seeing her teary eyes, felt immense heartache.
His anger turned to Ling Ge, "The young master of the Ling Family dares to treat you this way, our Luo Family will help you get justice."
In that life, the former self did not return.
Yet, Father Luo still made a phone call to her tonight, saying the same words.
But the former self thought that Father Luo was only saying this for the sake of the Luo Family’s reputation.
She still loved Ling Ge too much to leave his "home," so she firmly disagreed with the Luo Family causing trouble for Ling Ge and the Ling Family, and she also refused to return to the Luo Family.
This resulted in a dispute with Father Luo, leading him to angrily return to the Border Star the next day.
Luo Ning thought about it and replied, "I don’t need the Luo Family to get justice for me; I can do it myself."
She didn’t want to trouble the Luo Family; besides, it wasn’t necessary.
After all, the Luo Family still had a collaboration with the Ling Family, and direct action would cause both families significant losses.
In that life, most of the members of the Ling Family were on the side of the former self.
Ling Mu always looked down on Leng Ying and only acknowledged the former self as her favorite daughter-in-law, especially after the former self had bravely saved Ling Ge, her goodwill had only increased.
She also did everything to keep Ling Ge away from Leng Ying, which inadvertently pushed the two closer together, and the relationship between mother and son became increasingly tense and cold.
Later, when Marshal Ling suddenly fell ill and died, Ling Ge seized the chance to take over the Ling Family, replacing his father and sending his parents to a healing star.
The takeover of the Luo Family had also been orchestrated by Ling Ge and Leng Ying by then, with Ling’s father already ousted and sent away to a healing star to retire.
Ling Ge also had a sister who had always been on good terms with the former self and was previously much cherished by Ling Ge.
However, she was the main force opposing Ling Ge and Leng Ying with whom she frequently conflicted.
Because of this, she was eventually manipulated by Leng Ying into a relationship with a destitute noble from a central star, and she was forced to marry afar and lived unhappily.
So, although the former self resented Ling Ge, she harbored no hostility or resentment towards the Ling Family.
In Luo Ning’s view, Ling’s parents having anything other than Ling Ge as a son would have been better.
However, from this, it was clear that Leng Ying was not just ordinarily cunning; anyone who stood against her or didn’t like her met with a grim fate.
This time, without her interference, Ling Mu and others no longer dictated that Ling Ge accept her, and they no longer became the main force driving the couple apart. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
She wanted to see if Leng Ying could continue her schemes, allowing Ling Ge to keep treating his own parents and sister that way.
After all, the current Ling Ge was still dutiful towards his parents and still cherished his sister.
Father Luo’s brow furrowed, "You’re not still attached to that scoundrel Ling Ge, are you?"
That’s why she didn’t want them to intervene.
Luo Ning realized the former self had significant issues in dealing with her father, but Father Luo was the same.
He was just a straightforward dad, always stern and tough on the outside, sometimes his words even caused the former self to be defiant.
For instance, this comment, which would surely have irritated the former self again, making her feel as if her father were mocking her.
But in truth, Father Luo wasn’t mocking; he was genuinely concerned about his daughter.
Luo Ning pursed her lips, "No, I’m not attached anymore. What he did this time has completely turned me off."
"I do not wish for my personal matters to affect the relationship and cooperation between the Luo Family and the Ling Family."
As she and Ling Ge reached the final step, aside from their personal grievances, other forces had intervened.
Naturally, they hoped to dissolve and provoke discord between the Luo and Ling families.
The Luo Family controlled the Empire’s largest Mecha company, while the Ling Family managed roughly a third of the Empire’s resource planets.
Most of the Mecha materials from Luo Family were purchased from the Ling Family.
And the Mechas used in the Ling Family Army mostly came from the Luo Family.
When Luo Ning said this, it surprised Father Luo, yet he couldn’t help feeling relieved.
After this incident, his daughter seemed to have matured overnight.
He nodded, "Alright, then handle it yourself first, and if you need any help, tell me directly."
Although the Luo and Ling families were long-time friends, and he and Mr. Ling were good friends with a very close business relationship, for the sake of his daughter, he would rather offend the Ling Family.
If his daughter could handle the relationship between the two families herself, that would naturally be best.
His daughter was already twenty and an adult; it was time for him to let go and let her grow.
He thought for a moment and added, "I have only one request for you, Ling Ge is not your good man, break it off with him."
Luo Ning nodded, "Okay!"
This once again greatly relieved Father Luo, it seemed like his daughter really wasn’t infatuated with the young man from the Ling family anymore.
In his mind, Marshal Ling had three sons, and the grandchildren of the direct lineage added up weren’t few, with the third generation’s heir not yet decided.
Since Ling Ge dared to toy with his daughter, he could forget about the position of the heir.
He thought for a moment and asked, "How about you come with me to the Border Star for a while?"
By staying away from the Imperial Capital Star, she would be less likely to meet that scoundrel Ling Ge, and over time, she might truly get over him.
Luo Ning shook her head, "No, I plan to return to the Imperial Military Academy to continue my studies."
Father Luo was extremely surprised, "Why are you thinking of going back? Can your spiritual power handle it?"
He was worried that his daughter would face too great a contrast and disparity from before and suffer a setback.
If it were someone else, he’d definitely think it good for young people to endure hardships and setbacks.
But when it came to his own daughter, he was somewhat reluctant.
Luo Ning smiled and replied, "I happened to come across several potions that repair spiritual power and plan to give them a try, there’s still a great hope for recovery."
She did not hide this from Father Luo.
Father Luo was surprised again, "Is the source reliable?"
Luo Ning confidently assured, "Absolutely no problem, I’ve verified it."
A hint of a smile appeared on Father Luo’s stern face, "Then that’s good, if your spiritual power recovers, both your grandfather and I will be very pleased."
Luo Ning had once been designated their heir.
But due to his daughter’s deep feelings for Ling Ge and severe damage to her spiritual power, they had been forced to start looking for a new heir.
If his daughter recovered and no longer chased after Ling Ge, no longer putting him first in everything, it would naturally be best for her to take the position of the next generation heir of the Luo Family.
Moved by her thoughts, Luo Ning said, "From now on, I will not disappoint Grandfather and Father anymore."
Father Luo’s smile deepened, "Good, I believe in you."
He asked, "Is there anything I need to do on behalf of the Luo Family?"
Luo Ning shook her head, "No need, I will take the initiative to break off the engagement with Ling Ge and make a clear distinction, just having your and Grandfather’s support is enough."
Father Luo rarely laughed out loud, "Your grandfather and I, of course, support you."
Great, his daughter was finally not so love-struck anymore!
