Chapter 552: Apocalypse True Daughter Cannon Fodder (23)
For nearly half a month, because they were following a large troop, the Luo Family didn’t have any opportunities to be alone with Luo Ning, so they hadn’t been in touch.
Today, separated from the main force by a zombie tide and fleeing all day, there was even less time to contact each other.
Now was the best opportunity.
Especially since the Luo Family particularly missed the meals cooked by Luo Ning.
Father Luo had sent Fifth Luo because he, as an elder, couldn’t bring himself to lower his facade.
Secondly, Fifth Luo and Luo Ning were twins, and when Luo Ning had been at home, their relationship had been relatively the best.
And since Fifth Luo was Luo Ning’s younger brother, she probably would not ignore him.
Even if she did ignore him, as a younger brother, losing some face wasn’t too big an issue.
Fifth Luo didn’t refuse and nodded, "Okay!"
Since Luo Ning had decisively chosen to break ties with them and leave, he had actually been quite uncomfortable.
He also felt some regret for the way they had treated Luo Ning previously.
Particularly after realizing that Luo Baomiao, whom he had always protected, was not as he had perceived her to be, his regrets only deepened.
He had even gone to look for Luo Ning, but she was either not there or refused to see him.
This left him quite frustrated; he always wanted to find an opportunity to reconcile.
Now fleeing together, it indeed was a good opportunity to make amends and reconcile.
Fifth Luo approached Luo Ning, hesitating, unsure of how to start.
Luo Ning could roughly guess his thoughts and spoke first, "If you don’t know what to say, don’t say anything."
Fifth Luo saw her cold expression and felt uncomfortable; they were supposed to be the closest siblings.
"Sorry," he blurted out after grappling with himself for a long time.
In the more than half a year since Luo Ning had left, he thought a lot and the more he thought, the more he felt they had been excessive before.
He had specifically observed Luo Baomiao and realized she was really good at acting, so she might have really misled them to target Luo Ning previously.
Luo Ning looked at him coldly, "I no longer need those three words."
The original person had waited a long time for these words, but since going to the Kyoto Base, suddenly didn’t want them anymore, finding them meaningless.
Fifth Luo’s expression changed, he knew Luo Ning meant it was too late.
"We are family, there were indeed some oversights toward you before, but we now recognize the problem and will definitely not treat you like that in the future."
"Come with us, your grandparents have already prepared a place for us to stay outside the Kyoto Base."
He truly wanted Luo Ning to come home this time.
Luo Ning shook her head, "Thanks for the invitation, but I really don’t need it."
Her gaze swept over the Luo Family not far away, and she said to Fifth Luo, "I wasn’t joking when I said I would sever ties with the Luo Family six months ago."
"So no matter what the Luo Family becomes at the Kyoto Base in the future, no matter what heights they reach, no matter how powerful they are, I don’t care."
She reached over and patted Shen Yan sitting beside her, "My only relative now, is my brother."
Fifth Luo could tell that Luo Ning was serious, not the pretense of playing hard to get as Luo Baomiao had implied before.
Hearing her only acknowledge Shen Yan as her brother, his heart felt both sour and bitter.
"You!" He didn’t know what else to say.
Luo Ning said to him, "We have already severed our ties, so it’s best for us to treat each other as strangers and not disturb each other."
Fifth Luo, feeling the eyes of others around who were watching the drama unfold, pursed his lips, "If that’s what you wish, then so be it."
Then he turned and went back to where the Luo Family were.
This time he had recognized, he had lost this sister, and the Luo Family had lost Luo Ning as a daughter.
The people who should be the closest, yet would rather be strangers when they meet, how ironic and ridiculous.
But he couldn’t deny his conscience to blame Luo Ning, remembering how she once took the initiative to please them, only to be met with their cold indifference, which deeply hurt her.
The conversation between Luo Ning and Fifth Luo wasn’t quiet; everyone around could hear it.
The Luo Family felt the same, with Father Luo and Mother Luo’s faces turning both blue and red, both ashamed and angry.
It was unexpected that their daughter would be so fierce; they had taken the initiative to reconcile, yet she refused.
They could no longer swallow their pride and make the first move again.
Father Luo said with a stern face, "Since she doesn’t want to come back, let it be."
Mother Luo’s expression wasn’t too good either, she had always thought that if they were nicer to Luo Ning, their daughter would happily return home, who knew...
The Luo Brothers were also feeling bitter at that moment, but many things couldn’t be forced, especially feelings.
So, they all remained silent.
Luo Baomiao’s face showed the same discomfort, but her heart was actually pleased.
She hadn’t expected Luo Ning to be so stubborn. What was wrong with returning to the Luo Family? Why insist on wandering with that no-good brother?
If it were her, she would never be so foolish.
However, Luo Ning’s foolishness was advantageous for her.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye at Lu Xun, who was still eating, and her thoughts churned.
Then she stood up and walked towards Luo Ning.
The Luo Family watched Luo Baomiao curiously, wondering what she was up to as they hadn’t called for her.
When Luo Baomiao approached Luo Ning, her eyes were already red.
"Luo Ning, I’m sorry, it’s because of me that you’ve misunderstood dad, mom, and your brother."
"They really want you to come back, you are the closest people to each other, so please don’t be angry anymore, okay?"
She looked apologetically at Luo Ning, "If you are willing to come back, I can leave if necessary."
Such words made Luo Baomiao appear very magnanimous and considerate.
Luo Ning raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "Then why don’t you leave first to show me?"
’Taking a step back to advance’ had become overplayed by you at the Luo Family, and now here you are again?"
Luo Baomiao choked, tears in her eyes as she shook her head, "No, I didn’t, you misunderstood."
Luo Ning continued eating, watching her performance as if watching a drama, "Keep acting."
Luo Baomiao hadn’t expected Luo Ning to react this way.
She thought Luo Ning would argue emotionally or get angry, just like at the Luo Family.
Lu Xun was unhappy that Luo Ning wasn’t just watching him eat, but instead observing an ugly woman.
He glanced coldly at Luo Baomiao, "If you want to make a clown of yourself, go do it over there, don’t come out and be an eyesore."
Hearing this, the assistant thought, exactly, this was their scholar, with his distinctly unsympathetic sharp tongue.
Yu Wei thought similarly, right, this was how to properly handle Young Master Lu.
He had heard that top-ranking heiresses in the Capital City had pursued Lu Xun, and this bad-tempered young master managed to reduce a beautiful lady to tears.
Luo Baomiao was still thinking about which angle to cry from to look the best and gain the most sympathy from men.
She wanted to use her generosity against Luo Ning’s coldness and heartlessness.
To show people like Lu Xing that Luo Ning didn’t even care for her own parents and brother, which was too harsh and cold-hearted.
And she, the adopted daughter, hadn’t rejected Luo Ning, publicly apologizing and asking Luo Ning to return, what more could she do? It only showed her kindness.
But she hadn’t expected to be so ruthlessly mocked by Lu Xun before she could even act, stiffening her face and making her look somewhat comical.
