Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 607: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (21)

Commander Huo was especially furious at this moment.

"Young Marshal Lu, please be careful with your words. It’s just a matter of personal relationships between women, not a matter to escalate to war. Such misunderstandings are best avoided." frёewebnoѵēl.com

He indeed wanted to annihilate the Lu Family’s Southern Army, but in reality, their Northern Army’s overall strength was somewhat inferior.

Lu Xun sneered, "She is, after all, the Huo Family’s beloved daughter. Of course, I would misunderstand, as this is actually your intent, Commander Huo."

"Since you say it’s a misunderstanding, then I’ll take it as one, otherwise I would have to rush back to prepare for battle."

Despite standing on his opponent’s turf, Lu Xun remained incredibly imposing.

Commander Huo choked, "Young Marshal Lu truly knows how to joke."

This man was really arrogant, just as annoying as his father.

But now, he really had no way to deal with Lu Xun; it wasn’t possible to start a war over a fit of pique.

Huo Sichen saw Luo Ning proclaiming proudly and recklessly that Lu Xun was her man, and Lu Xun was actually ready to declare war on the Huo Family to defend Luo Ning.

This made him feel very uneasy and uncomfortable.

He had once disliked Luo Ning for being an old-fashioned woman, which is why he divorced her.

But even though Luo Ning had handed him divorce papers and run away, he still believed she was his woman.

Now, seeing her with another man, looking like a seductive enchantress, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger and jealousy.

He said sternly, "Young Marshal Lu, do not push people too far. My sister was just telling the truth; was it necessary to belittle her like this?"

Lu Xun sneered, "Is that her telling the truth? She was clearly slandering my fiancée."

"She kept saying I was deceived that my fiancée was a worn-out shoe. Am I supposed to need her to teach me how to judge people? I’m not an idiot like you who can’t see the obvious."

"And what about her own worth, does she not know? Yet she dares to come here to belittle my fiancée and stir up discord. She brought this humiliation upon herself."

Luo Ning also added, "Exactly, you know what kind of person your sister is; do you have any doubt?"

"When I was still with the Huo Family, she spent my money while demeaning me for being old-fashioned, often arguing and mocking me. What kind of sister-in-law behaves like that?"

"I considered myself a virtuous wife and good mother during my over four years in the Huo Family, but I was never spared from disdain. Your sister and the others spent my dowry freely, showing no restraint."

"Enjoying someone else’s possessions and kindness while despising and mocking them, can a normal person do such a thing? Are you sure she’s not an ingrate?"

Her words encompassed everyone in the Huo Family.

She looked at Huo Sichen with disdain, "Like sister, like brother. It’s no wonder you’re not much smarter, with a sister this foolish."

"But luckily I’m smart. I sent you the divorce papers early on, otherwise, I would have been stuck with your stupidity."

Everyone present was shocked by Luo Ning’s bold words. How dared she, in front of so many people, call Commander Huo stupid?

Seeing her disdainful and scornful expression, everyone began to doubt whether the story the Huo Family had circulated was true.

Was it really Huo Sichen getting together with Ran Yinyin, disliking Luo Ning, and insisting on a divorce?

Or was it Luo Ning who despised Huo Sichen, using the divorce to break free from the Huo Family in advance?

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to divorce Huo Sichen first and still mock so righteously.

It didn’t seem like she still had lingering feelings for Huo Sichen, as the Huo Family had claimed.

Moreover, listening to Luo Ning’s words just now, it seemed she didn’t only imply Huo Mingzhu but also included Commander Huo.

After all, everyone knew that before the Huo Family had fully risen, they owed a great favor to Luo Ning’s father, which led to the marriage alliance.

But after marrying Luo Ning, Huo Sichen ran off on their wedding day, leaving his bride completely sidelined, and didn’t return for four years to consummate the marriage.

After returning from abroad, he immediately sought a divorce, which the Huo Family allowed.

From Luo Ning’s perspective, during her four years in the Huo Family, she suffered bullying and disdain from the Huo family members.

Was this how they repaid a benefactor’s daughter?

Moreover, everyone had not expected that the Huo Family, having let the bride stay alone all this time, would also audaciously spend her money.

Commander Huo and Huo Sichen’s expressions changed drastically.

"Luo Ning, don’t think just because you’ve climbed onto a higher branch that you can slander the Huo Family."

Huo Sichen sneered, "Would the Huo Family really be short of your money? What a joke."

"I admit I was too hasty when I came back and divorced you."

"If you resent me, I accept that, but that’s no reason to falsely accuse the Huo Family."

That meant Luo Ning was holding a grudge about the divorce and was deliberately making false accusations.

Luo Ning scoffed.

"It was your Huo Family who insisted on marrying me in the first place."

"Choosing Lu Xun now doesn’t mean I’ve climbed onto a higher branch, but rather it shows I have good judgment."

"As a Young Commander’s Wife, do I need to slander your Huo Family?"

She was prepared, taking several sheets of paper out of the handbag she carried.

"I can produce black-and-white billing statements. Your Huo Family knows how much you spent on me, it’s all clearly recorded and can absolutely withstand scrutiny."

She even read them out loud, detailing the amounts of money she spent on what items for Huo Mu on certain days, and what gifts she bought for Huo Mingzhu on others...

She had the habit of keeping accounts, so she noted down every expense, which now made it convenient for her.

These were photocopies she had made from her ledger.

Occasional purchases were normal.

But over four years, she spent money on Huo Mu and others almost every month.

It was enough to make anyone listening inwardly scorn them; weren’t they supposed to be wealthy and generous?

Huo Sichen’s face grew darker and more grim upon hearing this; he had never expected Luo Ning to keep such detailed accounts.

It must have been deliberate, totally outrageous.

He said sternly, "Enough, can you not make a scene in public?"

Luo Ning gave him a disdainful look. "Am I the one making a scene? It’s clearly your family who’s going too far, with your sister provoking me."

"So she’s allowed to provoke and slander me, but I can’t respond?"

"You really think you’re the Crown Prince and she’s a Royal Princess of some grand Huo Family? You sure have a big face."

"Originally, I didn’t want to settle accounts with you since your family is shameless, but I still have my dignity. Yet who asked your sister to go out of her way to provoke me today?"

"You!" Huo Sichen choked.

Luo Ning shot him another disdainful look. "What ’you’? Where were we? I’m clearly the reasonable party here."

"Thankfully, I was smart enough to escape from the torment of the Huo Family, or my dowry would have nearly run out and I’d be utterly depressed."

Lu Xun looked down at Luo Ning affectionately and said with a smile, "I agree with you on that, luckily you had the wisdom to escape the quagmire of the Huo Family so that I could meet you."

Luo Ning pinched Lu Xun’s handsome face, "Exactly, I only married into the Huo Family back then because of an arranged marriage set by my parents."

With some relief, she added, "It’s also thanks to Commander Huo’s betrayal and his dalliances that prompted him to want a divorce; otherwise, I wouldn’t even have had the excuse to leave him."

"I wouldn’t have been able to attend the university I liked, study the major I was good at, or do the things I loved."

"Nor would I have met you."

She wanted everyone present to know it wasn’t that Luo Ning didn’t want Huo Sichen, but that she had long deemed him unworthy.

Lu Xun, filled with affection, said, "For that, you really should thank Commander Huo; I should thank him too."

"Don’t worry, I’m not like him; I won’t confine you to domestic life."

"Whatever you wish to do, I will support you!"

Elderly gentlemen and ladies in the crowd felt their teeth set on edge as they listened—these two had obviously come here today just to flaunt their love, huh?

Young ladies, however, were incredibly envious and longing. How sweet, what to do?

No wonder Luo Ning divorced Commander Huo and chose Young Marshal Lu instead. Faced with the choice, they would surely pick the latter too.

Upon comparison, it was quite clear that Young Marshal Lu completely outshined Commander Huo, hands down!
