Chapter 395 -394: She Wants to Meet
Lei Family Head called Lei Lifei over.
“Son, did you need something?” Lei Lifei asked as he came in.
He always felt that his old man was probably going to bring up something related to Luo Ning.
Those two girls were too good at taking advantage; he couldn’t wait to get rid of them.
Not only had many people come to complain to his father these past few days, but even more had sought him out.
After all, he was the scapegoat Luo Ning had pushed forward.
Lei Family Head said, “Go communicate with the Lou Family and the Luo Family, and ask them to come pick up Luo Ranran and Luo Ning.”
Lei Lifei was stunned for a moment, “Ah, asking those two families to come pick them up might not be reliable.”
The Luo Family hadn’t acknowledged Luo Ning; the likelihood of them coming to pick her up wasn’t very high.
And even if they did come, after taking Luo Ning back, she’d probably get the cold shoulder or be belittled by the Luo Family’s people.
Anyway, Luo Ning was the daughter of his good brother and the niece of his fake wife; he wouldn’t feel comfortable if the Luo Family’s people bullied her.
As for the Lou Family, they had long been eager to send Luo Ranran and Luo Ning away; they would certainly not take the initiative to pick them up.
Lei Family Head knew what his son meant and passed an invitation lying on the table to Lei Lifei.
“The day after tomorrow, you’ll represent me at this exchange meeting, and take Luo Ning and Luo Ranran with you.”
Lei Lifei understood as soon as he saw the invitation.
This was the triennial exchange meeting, always held on a certain island, lasting for two days.
The island was jointly built by all the major clans, and each one had a permanent residence there.
In name, it was an exchange meeting, but in reality, it was for trading.
When family heads received an invitation, they’d choose some elders and younger members to accompany them.
In previous years, it was always his dad who led the team, and he’d always go along.
Lei Lifei thought it over and grasped his father’s intent, “Dad, are you using the exchange meeting as an excuse to get Luo Ning and Luo Ranran off the island?”
Lei Family Head nodded: “At least you’re not that stupid.”
“You’re having me notify the Luo Family and the Lou Family to pick up their people, and if both families don’t come, when I take the two girls to the exchange meeting and they cause trouble, it’ll be those two families that lose face, and they won’t have the nerve to trouble our family anymore.”
That’s what they get for not coming to pick up their people.

His dad probably wanted to enjoy a good show on the side, which is why he was sending him instead of going himself.
“Smart people don’t spell everything out.” Lei Family Head leisurely picked up his teacup and took a sip.
He had actually been fed up with the Luo Family and the Lou Family for a while now.
Those two family heads, one completely henpecked and soft, compromising at the slightest pillow talk.
What nonsense about inheriting two branches, marrying off a second son to take a primary wife, and not acknowledging one’s own granddaughter, he found it all very embarrassing.
The other was so ruthless that he didn’t even care when his own daughter was bullied so badly by his own sons, it was simply unbearable to watch.
Lei Lifei chuckled, “Dad, you’re really something.”
“But what if the Luo Family and the Lou Family really do come to pick them up?” They could be capricious at times.
He actually wanted to see the drama of taking Luo Ning and Luo Ranran to the exchange meeting, but didn’t want those two families to actually come pick them up.
Lei Family Head gave him a look, “Couldn’t you just leak the news about what Luo Ning and Luo Ranran have been doing at our house?”
Lei Lifei caught on in a second, “If the news gets out, the Luo Family and the Lou Family definitely won’t dare to come pick them up.”
Ginger is the hottest when it ages.
The Luo and Lou families also feared Luo Ning and Luo Ranran would come shearing their wool, after all, their families possessed the Snake King, and the other two clans also had extraordinary items.
“But if things go that way, it would be a bit embarrassing for our Lei family.”
After all, the Snake King was snatched away by Luo Ning. If other clans got wind of this, who knows how much they would secretly rejoice at our misfortune.
He personally didn’t care, since the people of the Lei family were truly not fated to have the Snake King. Forcing the issue was pointless.
Lei Family Patriarch shared a similar attitude, “There’s nothing to be ashamed of. If they want to laugh, let them. They might be the bigger joke.”
“Fine, as long as the family isn’t afraid of losing face, I’ll go get to it.” Lei Lifei stood up and nodded his head.
Soon, Lei Lifei had someone spread the word about the good deeds Luo Ning and Luo Ranran had done at the Lei Family.
It was only in the afternoon that he personally contacted the Lou Family Patriarch and the Luo Family Patriarch.
What was more interesting was that Lei Lifei also had Luo Ning and Luo Ranran by his side, using the speakerphone feature during the call.
He first made contact with Lou Family Patriarch, who understood a thousand words to mean one thing: hurry and take your people back.
The Lou family had previously had their wool sheared by Luo Ning. Hearing that even the Snake King had been lost by the Lei Family, they took malicious pleasure in their misfortune while feeling fortunate that Lei Qiu inviting Luo Ning to the Lei Family was a smart move.
Lou Family Master beat around the bush repeatedly, but the message was clear: he was a good father who doted on his daughter.
Since his daughter and her friend were enjoying themselves outside, he naturally didn’t want to oppose it. Going to pick her up would hurt his daughter’s pride.
He also said that Luo Ranran wouldn’t stay at the Lei family for many more days, asking Lei Lifei to take care of her for a bit longer and then hastily hung up the call.
In normal circumstances, Lou Family Master would definitely have sneered and ridiculed the Lei family for losing the Snake King.
This time, however, he avoided the topic entirely, fearing that Lei Lifei would become enraged and send Luo Ning and Luo Ranran packing back to the Lou Family.
On the Luo Family’s end, Family Head Luo considered the idea when Lei Lifei suggested they take Luo Ning back.
Before he could decide, his phone was taken away by Lady Luo.
Lady Luo told Lei Lifei that since Luo Ning did not recognize the Luo family or respect her elders, the Luo family would not acknowledge Luo Ning.
The Luo Family certainly wouldn’t initiate efforts to pick up a child born outside the family. Lei Lifei should handle it himself.
Then, without waiting for Lei Lifei to say much more, she hung up the phone.
Lei Lifei put away his phone and looked at Luo Ning and Luo Ranran with a smile, “You see, aside from our Lei Family, neither the Lou nor the Luo families welcome you.”
Luo Ranran rolled her eyes, “Uncle Lei, stop pretending, you’re just trying to get rid of us.”
Luo Ning chimed in with a smile, “Uncle Lei, we all know what’s going on here!”
Lei Lifei chuckled, “You two just make too much trouble.”
“But what I did this time is actually to your benefit.” He then explained the matter of the exchange meeting.
Sure enough, both Luo Ranran and Luo Ning became interested.
“There are lots of nice things at the exchange meeting, we should go.” She had followed her grandfather there twice before.
But once her grandfather died and her father became the Family Head, he never took her again.
Aside from being interested in the items at the exchange meeting, there was another reason Luo Ning wanted to go.
She asked, “At the exchange meeting, will all the patriarchs of each family attend?”
Lei Lifei nodded, “Correct, unless there is some pressing matter, every Family Head will bring their spouse along.”
“Old Man Luo will bring his wife too, right?” Luo Ning deduced from the phone call that Old Lady Luo greatly despised her.
Moreover, with the issue of inheriting two branches and their refusal to acknowledge her mother and sisters, as well as banishing her father to the Forbidden Land, Old Madam Luo had contributed the greatest “efforts.”
She wanted to go and have a meeting.
