Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder’s Record of Counterattacks

Ning Shu went back to making more of the medical concoctions, waiting for the situation to unfold.

Later, Mother Ding released the news that the Guinness Company was very satisfied and about to sign the contract.

Ding Yan was so anxious that blisters were forming on his lips, constantly urging Ji Lu to get Ding Ningdie to find a solution.

Ding Ningdie had been hesitant to speak up. If she asked for money, her image in Bai Hanmo’s eyes would change.

Even if he wanted to give it, she couldn’t be the one to ask.

Ding Ningdie was torn. In relationships, it was either one person controlling the dynamic or the other.

If she asked for money, she’d put herself in a weaker position.

She couldn’t let money ruin her standing in the relationship.

She wanted to tie Bai Hanmo with love. As long as he loved her, she could get anything she wanted.

So, even though Ding Yan was about to lose his mind with anxiety, Ding Ningdie decided not to bring it up to Bai Hanmo.

She pretended it wasn’t happening.

But secretly, she told her mother, Ji Lu, to mention it to Bai Hanmo.

It would be better for her mother to bring it up “accidentally” than for her to do it.

After all, she couldn’t afford to ruin her image.

Even if the Ding family needed help, it wouldn’t be tied to her.

Ji Lu got the hint from her daughter and went to the villa where Bai Hanmo and Ding Ningdie lived together.

As soon as Ji Lu saw Ding Ningdie, she started crying her heart out.

Ji Lu used to be an actress. Though she wasn’t a master, she could definitely cry better than most people.

Her sobs were dramatic and heart-wrenching.

When Bai Hanmo came home from work and entered the villa, he heard a sorrowful cry coming from his partner’s room.

He rushed upstairs and saw Ding Ningdie comforting a sobbing woman.

It was Ji Lu.

“What’s going on?” Bai Hanmo loosened his tie. Ji Lu’s face was soaked in tears but somehow her makeup was still perfect.

Not even her mascara had smudged.

“Nothing,” Ding Ningdie said, looking deeply worried.

She resembled a tragic heroine from the ancient era, with every detail of her expression just right.

The sunlight from the balcony streamed in, casting a golden glow over her.

She looked flawless.

Bai Hanmo adored Ding Ningdie’s beauty—he thought there wasn’t a more beautiful woman in the world.

Her presence was warm and pure, and her scent was enchanting.

After crying for a while, Ji Lu saw Bai Hanmo had come home and wiped her tears as if to leave.

“Why don’t you stay for dinner?” Bai Hanmo offered.

Ji Lu glanced at Ding Ningdie, who reluctantly said, “Then, Mother, stay for dinner.”

Ding Ningdie looked so worried that she barely ate during the meal. Bai Hanmo placed food on her plate with his chopsticks.

She forced a smile but clearly had no appetite.

“Alright, tell me what’s really going on,” Bai Hanmo said, putting down his chopsticks and looking at Ji Lu. “You tell me.”

Ji Lu was about to speak when Ding Ningdie interrupted, “It’s nothing. My mother just came to see me.”

“You’re so easy to read, and you’re still trying to say it’s nothing? You’re like an open book—one glance and I know everything,” Bai Hanmo said, flicking Ding Ningdie’s nose.

“You go ahead,” he told Ji Lu.

Ji Lu hesitated, then explained the situation with the company.

“That mother-daughter duo wrecked the company, and now they want to sell it for a huge amount and enjoy their lives.”

“Before, Ningdie was always being bullied by them, and now they want to even destroy the company,” Ji Lu added.

Ding Ningdie sighed, “Mom, that’s all in the past. Let’s not bring it up anymore.”

Bai Hanmo raised an eyebrow, “I’ve heard about this.”

“They used to always bully you?” Bai Hanmo asked Ding Ningdie.

Ding Ningdie shook her head, “It’s nothing, really. Given my background, it’s normal for people not to like me.”
