Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192: Chapter 192 He will definitely not let go of this detestable woman!

Jiang Shixu had never imagined that Jiang Cheng, who had been so arrogant just moments before, would in the next second put on an even more aggrieved expression, standing there shocked and stunned. freewebnøvel.com

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Li was also silent for a moment before she spoke, “What exactly happened?”

Jiang Shixu was just about to explain when Jiang Cheng hurriedly snatched the phone away.

“Sister, listen to me, this is my fault, it truly is. I was the one who barged into Shi Xu’s room first and I also damaged his portable music player, but I just said I would compensate him with a new one, but, but Shi Xu still wanted to rush up and hit me, I, I was scared to death….”

Jiang Cheng feigned it well, his voice even trembling, making it sound like he was indeed terrified.

“No, it’s not like that!” Jiang Shixu yelled, with tears streaming down his face even more.

Even though Jiang Cheng admitted his fault seamlessly and his attitude was perfectly feigned, the insightful Jiang Li didn’t believe a word and instantly discerned his ulterior motives.

—This child was definitely not as well-behaved as he appeared to be.

After coming up with a solution, Jiang Li spoke indifferently, “Yes, you are indeed at fault.”

Her cold voice and unexpected reaction made Jiang Cheng involuntarily stunned.

“Let’s not say whether you intentionally entered Shi Xu’s room, even if you were worried about Shi Xu’s safety, should you not have left immediately upon discovering the room was empty? Why did you tamper with his belongings instead?”

Listening to Jiang Li’s stern and emotionless words, Jiang Cheng was completely dumbstruck.

When had this woman become so serious?

“I, I…” He just wanted to argue but was interrupted by Jiang Li again.

“Jiang Cheng, you should not carelessly damage others’ belongings, though it was just a portable music player, you do not know how much it meant to others.”

“I remember last year on your birthday, Grandpa gave you a golden lion toy, which you liked very much. How about this, since you want to sincerely apologize, why not give that golden lion to Shi Xu?”

Jiang Cheng’s pupils constricted, and without thinking, he blurted out, “Why should I?!”

“Because Shi Xu liked that portable music player just as you like that lion, a fair exchange, what’s wrong with that?” Jiang Li said in an indisputable tone.

“But, but….” Jiang Cheng tried hard to argue, but after stammering “but” for a long time, he couldn’t think of a word to say, instead he ended up red-faced with anger.

How could that broken music player be comparable to his lion?!

That lion was a toy custom-made by a top-tier jeweler, brought back specially from abroad by Grandpa, crafted entirely out of gold and embellished with gems all over, its price comparable to a house.

That was why he cherished it so much.

After he brought it to school the next day, it had attracted everyone’s envious gazes.

That golden lion was equivalent to a declaration of his worth and status. How could he easily let Jiang Shixu have it?!

Hearing Jiang Li’s words, Jiang Shixu gradually stopped crying, and a proud and triumphant expression slowly spread across his face.

Truly, the sister he respected and loved the most was still so fair and impartial.

Jiang Cheng, however, clenched his fists tighter, his eyes simmering with uncontainable resentment.

After a moment, he forcibly suppressed these emotions.

Fine, let’s not quarrel over this fleeting quarrel. After all, Jiang Li didn’t know whether he would really give the golden lion to Jiang Shixu.

“Fine, I understand, sister,” Jiang Cheng grudgingly forced out these words through clenched teeth.

Jiang Li responded with a detached “hmm” from the other end.
