Chapter 606: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (20)
Huo Mingzhu’s voice was not low, and since everyone present was paying attention to this side, they all heard her words.
Commander Huo and Huo Sichen were both stunned.
What? Is this person really Luo Ning?
Huo Sichen looked at Luo Ning again, and indeed, the more he looked, the more she resembled what he thought.
But how could this be possible?
When Lu Xun had appeared earlier with his fiancée, he had been dazzled by her.
Thinking sourly, Lu Xun really had great fortune to have won such a remarkable woman.
But now, his sister was claiming that this woman was his divorced ex-wife…
Lu Xun frowned upon seeing Huo Mingzhu suddenly appearing.
Especially since he saw admiration and a kind of resolute confidence in her eyes, it made him feel sowhat nauseated.
He had seen such looks countless tis and never understood where their confidence ca from, thinking they could decisively win him over.
He responded coldly, “She is my fiancée. I naturally know her identity.”
He knew what Huo Mingzhu was about to say, so he added, “She is your forr fifth sister-in-law. I know, so there’s no need for you to point it out.”
Huo Mingzhu’s eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. He actually knew.
Then how could he tolerate Luo Ning being a divorced wife?
Huo Sichen also showed disbelief. Really, his old-fashioned ex-wife?
If she had been this glamorous and charming before, perhaps he wouldn’t have divorced her.
He thought about having Luo Ning give up her position as his wife and keeping her as a concubine in the backyard, which in fact seed quite pleasing.
No, his thoughts were drifting.
The real issue was how had Luo Ning transford into this and then beco his arch-rival’s fiancée?
He had checked the information on Lu Xun’s fiancée, who had graduated from Xiang University this year, had opened several lucrative new factories, and was considered a prominent businessman in the south.
Did she really have such strong capabilities?
Or had he and his family never truly understood her?
Thinking of what Luo Ning did during their divorce, his face darkened. This woman had hidden herself well.
While he was lost in thought, Huo Mingzhu’s sowhat shrill voice ca again.
“She’s just an unwanted divorced reject from my brother. You know her identity, yet you still want to marry her?”
“She’s nothing but an unwanted woman. You must have been deceived by her.”
These words from Huo Mingzhu caused Lu Xun’s expression to instantly turn cold, “Miss Huo, is this your upbringing?”
“I rember it was Luo Ning who handed your brother the divorce papers first.”
“They never consummated their marriage, so how can you call her an unwanted woman?”
“And even if she had a husband before and had been with him, I still like her and want to marry her. I really don’t mind.”
His gaze turned cold and sharp as he continued, “Moreover, what right do you have to gossip about this here? Do you think you have the right?”
Huo Mingzhu was stunned by his words and took several steps back.
She bit her lip with reddened eyes and said, “You’ve been deceived by her, she’s not worthy of you.”
Lu Xun sneered, “Even if she deceives , I am willing to be deceived by her.”
“But when she was with , she had already clarified her past as Commander Huo’s ex-wife, so there was no deception.”
He critically and disdainfully glanced at Huo Mingzhu, “If she isn’t worthy of , do you think soone as ugly and stupid as you would be?”
“In my eyes, Luo Ning is the best and only she is worthy of .”
He scoffed again, “Even if every woman in the world died off, I still wouldn’t fancy soone like you.”
“Who gave you the confidence and courage to show off in front of like a peacock? But who would admire such an ugly, molting hen?”
He turned his head towards several young n of high status from the south who had followed him. “Would you fancy soone like this?”
They shook their heads simultaneously, without hesitation, “Of course not.”
Although she was Miss Huo, to be honest, her looks were just slightly above average; they could find prettier won by the handful.
The key issue was her arrogance and stupidity.
Marrying this kind of woman would be a disaster for the family.
Everyone present wasn’t foolish; they could clearly see that Huo Mingzhu, out of her infatuation with Lu Xun and thinking too highly of herself, believed that Young Marshal Lu would abandon his radiant and unparalleled fiancée to embrace her.
So they hurried to reveal her true identity, while shalessly slandering her as a worn-out shoe.
But as Young Marshal Lu said, who gave her the confidence?
Although Young Marshal Lu’s words were quite venomous, to be honest, standing Huo Mingzhu next to Luo Ning was like comparing a swan to a molting hen.
Given the choice, they would definitely choose Luo Ning!
Luo Ning was beautiful, talented, and wealthy; what did Huo Mingzhu have besides her family background?
The only thing Luo Ning lacked compared to Huo Mingzhu was her family background, but marrying Young Marshal Lu and becoming a daughter-in-law of the Lu Family would naturally raise her status above that of Huo Mingzhu, who would marry out.
Not just these few n thought this way—most of the n present shared similar thoughts.
Huo Mingzhu hadn’t expected that Lu Xun would belittle her so venomously; she couldn’t hold back her tears.
Especially seeing the approving and schadenfreude-filled glances from the people around her, Huo Mingzhu’s face paled, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
This was the man she admired; how could he treat her this way?
She didn’t dare to hate Lu Xun, instead glaring at Luo Ning.
It must have been that vixen speaking ill of her behind her back that led him to dean her so.
Luo Ning could clearly see through Huo Mingzhu’s thoughts and sneered, “Why glare at ? Will glaring turn a molting hen into a peacock?”
Then, she disdainfully scoffed at Huo Mingzhu, “Still trying to seduce my man? You should take a look at yourself.”
“Your courage is comndable, but too foolish; those without self-awareness only humiliate themselves.”
Her words carried an overwhelming aura of authority.
Many girls who had long disliked Huo Mingzhu applauded Luo Ning in their hearts, praising her statent.
Previously, Huo Mingzhu had always acted in their circles as if none were worthy to associate with her, being the cherished daughter of the Huo Family and considering herself above others.
Now, trying to seduce soone else’s man and speaking as if she were righteous, she was truly shaless. Being mocked and scorned was entirely her own doing; she deserved it.
Although they too wished to marry a man like Young Marshal Lu, they still possessed enough self-awareness, unlike Huo Mingzhu, who only brought humiliation upon herself.
Huo Mingzhu cried even harder, “Luo Ning, you’re too much, I won’t let you off!”
As Luo Ning was about to speak, Lu Xun spoke first, “Who do you think you are? My woman, and you say you won’t let her go? Do you think you’re worthy?”
“Is this challenging , or challenging the Lu Family?”
Then he turned his piercing gaze toward Commander Huo and asked, “What, does Commander Huo’s Northern Army want to declare war on our Southern Army?”
“If you want to declare war, my Southern Army is ready to fight to the end!”
Commander Huo: “…This is clearly a personal affair; how did it escalate to declaring war?”
If Lu Xun used the threat of war to stand up for his woman, who was not his forr daughter-in-law, he could not help but praise Young Marshal Lu as truly passionate.
Yet now, he felt extrely annoyed and uncomfortable.
His forr daughter-in-law being praised by Lu Xun while publicly disparaging his daughter as a molting hen not worthy of Young Marshal Lu…
Wasn’t this just like slapping the Huo Family in the face?
