Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 249 - 249 248 Threats

?Chapter 249: Chapter 248 Threats Chapter 249: Chapter 248 Threats Luo Ning no longer looked at Yu Fei but turned to face Huo Rui.

“I can’t help with this.”

Huo Rui expressed his understanding, “This is something he brought upon himself.”

He added apologetically, “Sorry to have troubled you to come all this way today. Let me see you out.”

Luo Ning knew that Huo Rui was unaware of the situation, so she didn’t blame him.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Yu Fei hurriedly got out of bed and tried to grab Luo Ning, “Master Luo, I really made a mistake. Please, save me; I won’t dare to do it again.”

“I can atone for my sins.” It was then that he truly felt regret.

Lu Xun kicked Yu Fei, who was lunging at her, to the ground, preventing him from touching Luo Ning.

Granny Yu and the others could see that this young girl really had abilities.

Since she could discern the cause, they were certain she could also provide a cure.

So they too began to plead, even offering to pay more money to have Luo Ning take action.

But Luo Ning didn’t bother with such people.

She was capable of curing the Poisonous Insect Poison in Yu Fei’s body, but she absolutely wouldn’t help, no matter how much money was offered.

She didn’t just read Feng Shui for anyone; she had her principles.

Luo Ning refused again, “I can’t cure it, please seek someone more capable.”

Then, without hesitation, she walked out, with Lu Xun and Huo Ye following suit.

Granny Yu and the others wanted to grab Luo Ning but were blocked by Huo Rui.

“Master Luo said she cannot cure it, it’s no use forcing her, and don’t come to me with such matters in the future.”

After Huo Rui spoke, he left with a hint of anger, even without saying goodbye to Yu Wen.

Today he was truly angry, and he felt some disappointment towards his girlfriend as well.

Yu Wen watched as Huo Rui left with an angry and cold face, her own face turning yet paler.

She wanted to follow, but her parents held her back.

“Wenwen, go and ask Huo Rui to persuade Master Luo to save your brother,” they implored.

“Yes, Feifei did wrong, but he knows his error now, so give him a chance to correct it.”

Yu Fei also cried, “Sis, you’re my sister. If you don’t save me, I’m really going to die.”

Granny Yu hurriedly said, “Wenwen, he’s your brother, in the future when your parents grow old, they will rely on him. You can’t just watch him die.”

Yu Fei’s parents also approached her, begging her to seek Huo Rui’s help.

“If he doesn’t agree, threaten to break up with him; he will definitely agree then,” they advised.

“Yes, Huo Rui likes you so much, he will surely listen to you.”

Since Huo Rui had brought the person, as long as he interceded, they believed Luo Ning wouldn’t refuse to help.

Yu Wen looked at her brother’s agonized expression and at her pleading family, feeling very distressed.

She nodded, “I… I’ll go and ask him right now.”

Although her brother was at fault, he had already been punished; was he really to lose his life over it?

The Yu Family only had Yu Fei as their sole hope. If he were to die because of this, the family line would be severed, which was absolutely unacceptable.

Thus, she quickly chased after them.

At that moment, Huo Rui had just escorted Luo Ning and her group to the gates of the villa, and he didn’t plan on going back in.

“Huo Rui, wait,” Yu Wen called as she ran out.

Huo Rui turned to look at her, “Are you coming with us?”

Yu Wen, with tears in her eyes, looked at him imploringly, “Huo Rui, my brother knows his mistake, please ask Master Luo to help save him.”

Huo Rui’s expression darkened; he hadn’t expected her to come asking him for help.

“Would he admit his mistakes if his life wasn’t in danger?”

He had clearly seen that Yu Fei hadn’t truly regretted his actions at all.

“And even if he was wrong, can it resurrect the girl he killed?”

“He would have been sent to prison for life had he not been afflicted with the Poisonous Insect Poison.”

He refused and said, “I certainly don’t have the face to ask someone to help a murderer.”

Yu Wen burst into tears and, looking pitiful, grabbed onto Huo Rui’s sleeve.

“Feifei never thought the woman would kill herself.”

“People cannot be brought back from the dead, now he knows his mistake, he will change, he absolutely won’t do such a thing ever again.”

“As long as Master Luo saves him, our family will also compensate the victim’s family.”

“I can’t just stand by and watch my brother die, Huo Rui, I’m begging you, please help him.”

Huo Rui’s expression turned colder, and his eyes were full of disappointment, “I used to think you were just soft-hearted, but now it seems your character is also questionable.”

“I can’t help, and I won’t help.”

“After being together for more than a year, it seems you never really understood me.”

“People from the Huo Family have our own principles when it comes to handling affairs; we absolutely won’t cover up for a murderer.”

Yu Wen, tears streaming down her face, shook her head, “Feifei already knows his mistake, and since the error has been made, what else do you want from him?”

Huo Ye chimed in, “Of course, it’s a life for a life.”

It was the first time he realized that his brother’s girlfriend was this kind of person. She always appeared weak and soft, and as for her values, he was truly exasperated.

Yu Wen ignored Huo Ye and turned to look at Huo Rui with tears streaking her face.

“I’m just asking you this once, will you help or not?”

“And as for this ‘life for a life’, it wasn’t him who killed her, the woman committed suicide.”

The look on Huo Rui’s face was hard to read, surprised that she could be so shameless, “Wasn’t her suicide because he forced her?”

He raised an eyebrow and continued, “And is this really the only time you’ve asked for my help?”

She had asked for his help more on behalf of her family than he could count.

Yu Wen never expected Huo Rui to be so heartless, and it hurt her deeply, “Are you really going to be this ruthless?”

Huo Rui responded, “If that’s how you see it, I can’t help it.”

Meaning he wouldn’t offer any help.

Yu Wen bit her lip and said, “If you won’t help, then let’s break up.”

She didn’t actually want to break up; after all, she genuinely liked Huo Rui.

Especially his family background, something not easily found even with a lantern.

She just wanted to use the breakup as leverage to get him to help her cousin.

She believed he liked her so much, he definitely wouldn’t bear to break up.

Huo Rui looked at Yu Wen with a hint of surprise, “I suddenly realize, I’ve only truly known you today.”

“Then let’s break up.” Actually, even if Yu Wen hadn’t initiated the breakup, he had already considered it.

What she said earlier had shocked and disappointed him.

Her implication was her cousin had made a mistake, the person had committed suicide, so her cousin should be forgiven. He simply could not accept this stance.

Yu Wen trembled, unable to believe it, “You, you actually want to break up with me?”

During the year she had been with Huo Rui, he had been quite considerate towards her. If she made a request, he would nearly always fulfill it.

He was typically very busy with company business, but whenever she asked him to accompany her shopping or to join friends for a meal, he would make the time.

All of her colleagues at the company and her friends envied her for having such a wealthy, handsome, gentle, and considerate boyfriend.

Huo Rui was also highly principled, never one to fool around with others.

She had even brought up marriage once, and although he hadn’t immediately agreed, he didn’t object either.

This gave her the impression that Huo Rui couldn’t live without her.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have used the breakup as a threat.

But him actually agreeing to break up caught her completely off guard, and panic set in.
