Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193 -193: Do You Really Think the Audience is Blind?

Jiang Shixu’s eyes lit up when he heard there was a gift.

But the next second, he carefully asked, “Is this gift for everyone?”

“No, it’s just for you.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shixu’s happiness grew, and all the displeasures of the evening were swept away in an instant.

“Alright, sister, I will wait obediently for you to come home.”

“Mm, it’s getting late. You should rest early, good night.”

“Sister, good night.”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Li breathed out softly and turned his head to see Jiang Yan standing in the corridor with his arms folded, watching him with leisure.

When Jiang Yan saw Jiang Li turn around, he sneered sarcastically, “Yo, who’s the brother you were on the phone with? Saying all that good night stuff, I’ve never heard you say anything like that to me!”

Jiang Li glanced at him, “It’s your own brother Jiang Shixu and Jiang Cheng.”

Upon hearing that last name, Jiang Yan was startled, then his face suddenly turned cold.

“Jiang Cheng?! That kid’s back home? Hah, he still has the face to return?”

At these words, Jiang Li stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him, “Why would you say that?”

Now it was Jiang Yan’s turn to look puzzled at her, “What’s wrong with what I said? Didn’t you used to say that all the time? You said that kid shamelessly clinged to our family, that he’s just a mistress’s illegitimate son, not even worthy of carrying shoes for our servants. Why should he, assuming the status of the second young master, live under the same roof as us? Weren’t these your words?”

Jiang Li frowned.

Jiang Cheng’s identity was indeed dubious, especially in this modern society which advocates monogamy, making it particularly awkward.

But having relived her life, she now knew Jiang Cheng’s true identity.

He was not the illegitimate son of their father.

His real identity was much more complicated than that.

However, obviously now was not the time to explain these things.

Jiang Li could only raise her head and say, “Jiang Yan, it’s fine for you to say these things to me, but there’s no need in front of Jiang Cheng. After all, he’s still a child.”

Even though he was already showing signs of straying off course, the current him had not yet experienced the events that would completely turn him into the terrible character from the book.

She still had a chance to set him straight.

“No matter what Jiang Cheng is like, I only know that he is now our blood-related younger brother, a member of this family. As the eldest sister, I naturally have the responsibility to discipline and restrain him.”

Jiang Yan’s eyes widened in shock, and it took him a full minute to come back to his senses.

“No, what… what did you say? Jiang Li, have you lost your mind or taken the wrong medicine? That damn kid is just the son of a mistress, right? What do you mean ‘my own brother’? I, Jiang Yan, certainly do not have such a brother!”

“Weren’t you also annoyed with him? How come you’ve changed so much all of a sudden? Has that kid fed you some kind of drug? You don’t even stand up for your own brother, but you actually defend him?!”

Seeing that he was impossible to reason with, Jiang Li simply walked into her own room without bothering to explain.

Jiang Yan followed relentlessly.

“Hey, I’m talking to you, is this how you treat your own brother?”

“Hey, open up, explain yourself, why are you speaking up for that kid? Don’t you feel any pain for our mom?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li, who had already sat down at the desk and opened a book, paused with her fingertips, and her face involuntarily turned stern.

From ancient times to the present, issues of blood relation have been very thorny.

But that was not a reason to heap all the resentment on an innocent child.

The adults were the ones who made the mistakes; the children are innocent.

It was precisely because of this lack of understanding that the victims went further and further down the wrong path.

Jiang Cheng was a prime example.

She had awakened in this life because she didn’t want to see those around her trapped by predetermined plots, lost in misguided emotions, bound by everything around them, thereby straying onto the wrong path.
