Chapter 569: Apocalypse True Daughter Cannon Fodder (40)

Successfully ending their engagement, Zuo Xia heaved a sigh of relief.

He didn’t want to talk about this matter anymore and mentioned he needed a place to rest.

Yu Wei then took them to rest in an off-road vehicle.

Only the Luo Family remained, caught between enjoying the show and feeling extremely awkward.

Luo Baomiao glared at Luo Ning with eyes full of hate, her voice cracking with despair, "Are you happy now?"

Luo Ning didn’t bother to pretend, smiling as she nodded, "Quite satisfied, actually."

With the engagement off, not only was Luo Baomiao unable to continue harming Zuo Xia or take over his influence, she could no longer leech off the Zuo Family.

Similarly, the Luo Family couldn’t stabilize their footing in Kyoto Base as quickly as in the other life, leveraging the power of the Zuo Family.

Eldest Luo had secured a high-level position at the base, supported greatly by the Zuo and Jia Families early on.

Now, she was curious to see how the Luo Family would soar to the skies this time.

The best revenge was not to kill the opponent, but to strip them of what they cared about most.

What the Luo Family cared about most was their social standing and face, so she would start by stripping them of their dignity.

Luo Baomiao longed to rush forward and scratch Luo Ning’s smiling face. This woman was too malicious, always scheming against her.

"I will not let this go," she clenched her fists tightly, glaring hard at Luo Ning.

She vowed to settle this score.

Luo Ning chuckled, "The same goes for you."

She wasn’t going to let this go either.

Her lips curled up, "This is just the beginning; enjoy."

After speaking, she no longer paid attention to Luo Baomiao and tugged at Old Lu’s sleeve before turning to leave.

She still had many books to read and much to learn; she couldn’t waste her time or energy on Luo Baomiao any longer.

After greeting Shen Yan and Long Feifei, Luo Ning headed to Lu Xun’s mobile lab to read.

Whenever she came across something she didn’t understand, Lu Xun would explain it patiently.

In Luo Ning’s world, she had been a top student and a valedictorian, so she grasped concepts quickly and had a strong ability to learn.

Before she knew it, it was almost dark.

Luo Ning then got up, preparing the ingredients for dinner.

This time, she didn’t go down to cook but used the mobile lab’s kitchen instead.

After cooking, she invited Zuo Xia, Yu Wei, and Long Feifei to join her for dinner.

Since Long Feifei and Luo Ning were in the same team and their relationship was becoming closer, it was not surprising for Long Feifei to be regularly invited over for meals.

Yu Wei was also occasionally invited to join these dinner gatherings, and by now, he was used to her delicious meals.

However, Zuo Xia was surprised by the spread of appetizing and sumptuous dishes.

Hadn’t Luo Ning and the others fled here as refugees? How could they have such fresh and rich ingredients?

He was at the Kyoto Base, where the meals he had were quite ordinary compared to before the apocalypse.

Though surprised, he did not ask further and politely expressed his gratitude.

The meal brought them closer to each other.

Zuo Xia found this meal to be the most satisfying and filling one since the apocalypse began.

He laughed and complimented, "Luo Ning, your cooking skills are exceptional."

Luo Ning replied with a smile, "Thanks for the compliment!"

Zuo Xia raised his water glass, saluting Luo Ning and Long Feifei, "I drink this tea in place of alcohol to thank you both for helping me see Luo Baomiao’s true nature."

Thinking back to his injury and rescue by Luo Ning, which led to his discovery of Luo Baomiao’s true character, he thought he might have been revolted had he married her.

Luo Ning chuckled, "Considering her family could swap children intentionally and heartlessly abandon a baby, who knows what vile things they might do after you married."

"We also don’t want you to be deceived by her."

Feifei agreed, "Exactly, Luo Baomiao wasn’t just ambiguous with my former fiancé, she was also ambiguous with several other young masters from wealthy families, we just didn’t have evidence."

"I got the information that her biological father and aunt, that is the team arranged by another young master from a wealthy family to go to Beishang Capital," Luo Ning added.

Zuo Xia’s dislike for Luo Baomiao increased, "So I should thank you."

"Can you give me a copy of the evidence you have? I want to call off the engagement, not only to explain to my family but also to give an account to the Jia Family."

Luo Ning and Feifei nodded, "No problem."

Then, the two of them copied the photos and videos from their phones and gave a copy to Zuo Xia.

There were no dangers encountered that night, and the next day everyone continued on their journey.

After entering Capital City, they encountered several groups of zombies, but all were dealt with by Yu Wei and his team.

By afternoon, the group arrived at the entrance of Kyoto Base.

Seeing the newly built towering city walls enclosing the vast base, many wanted to cry tears of relief.

"We’ve finally arrived!"

Then the vehicle entered Kyoto Base; Yu Wei presented his credentials and orders, and after the guarding soldiers checked them, they were allowed entry.

Once inside the base, those who wanted to leave first could do so, while those without a place to stay could remain and wait for the base’s logistics to arrange.

The Luo Family immediately met up with the people from the Jia Family who had been waiting at the base.

The Jia Family had only one daughter, Mother Luo, who was very cherished and valued; they sent the eldest grandson Jia Jiahe from the younger generation to pick them up.

The Luo Family naturally didn’t need the base’s arrangement and would go back with the Jia Family.

Before leaving, Mother Luo looked over at Luo Ning who was standing not far away.

She asked for the last time, "Are you really not coming with us?"

After all, she was a biological daughter, and her actions and abilities had been unexpectedly impressive throughout the journey.

She truly seemed like a child of the Luo and Jia families.

Father Luo and others also looked at Luo Ning, still hoping she would come with them.

Luo Baomiao, unwilling, had no choice but to clench her teeth in frustration.

Luo Ning decisively shook her head in refusal, "I and Lady Luo already have no relation, it’s better for us to go our separate ways in Kyoto Base."

"I won’t rely on your Luo Family’s influence, and you shouldn’t rely on mine either," she stated bluntly.

These words infuriated Mother Luo. Even her own daughter, whom she couldn’t train, had embarrassed her in front of her nephew.

"Fine, then let’s see how you manage in the base." After saying this, she turned and got into the car provided by the Jia Family.

Father Luo gave Luo Ning a complex look, "Take care of yourself."

After speaking, he too got into the car.

Without a background in this chaotic world, it wouldn’t be easy to make a career at Kyoto Base.

His daughter was still thinking too simplistically.

Since she was so determined, let her be. After suffering enough, she would understand how wrong her choice was today.

Eldest Luo and Second Luo sighed and didn’t say much, following others into the car.

Only Third Luo, holding onto Luo Baomiao, looked at Luo Ning and said, "Just don’t come crying to us later."

As if he was certain that Luo Ning would not fare well in the base.

Luo Ning rolled her eyes, "I was about to say the same to you."

"Hmph!" Knowing he couldn’t win against Luo Ning, Third Luo snorted coldly and pulled Luo Baomiao into the car.

Luo Baomiao glared at Luo Ning with hatred.

When the Luo Family wasn’t looking, she silently mouthed three words to Luo Ning, "Just you wait."

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, "I’m waiting."
