Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Chapter 24 The Cause of Jiang Shixu's Illness

Not only that, even the non-mainstream photos she had previously posted on other platforms were dug out.

Phrases such as "ugly girl craving swan meat," "arrogant, wasteful daughter of a rich family," and "slacker from a third-rate college" were all bound to her name.

Looking at this negative material, Jiang Li's emotions weren't greatly affected.

After all, these were indeed the settings the novel had given her, and there was nothing to be angry about.

However, when Lin Man Ru saw the news, she wasn't so calm and rushed into the study, her face filled with tension.

"Lili, have you seen those things on the internet?"

Jiang Li closed the book and looked at her mother.

"I saw them, what about them?"

Lin Man Ru sat down next to her, reassuringly taking her hand.

"Don't worry, Mom will handle it. I've already reached out to public relations to suppress the trending searches. Those people are just smearing you out of jealousy. Don't take it to heart."

Jiang Li shook her head, "There's no need to suppress the trending searches. 'When a crime is desired, an accusation is never wanting.' If you do this, they will only escalate their efforts."

"What should we do then? We can't just watch those people talk about you like this."

"Even your brother, when such a big thing happened to his sister, he doesn't come back, just knows how to squander time outside. I've always said that he should get married and stay at home honestly; otherwise, he will eventually be the death of me."

Jiang Li lowered her eyes as if pondering something.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in."

The door was opened slightly, a dark head peeked in, then a pair of clean, beautiful eyes appeared.

"It's me..." Shi Xu whispered.

Jiang Li nodded, "Come in. Is there something you need?"

Shi Xu carefully opened the door and stepped in, glancing at Lin Man Ru beside him with a slight discomfort on his face.

However, he suppressed the awkwardness, then held up his cellphone.

"I just..."

"Did you also see those things online?" Jiang Li cut straight to the point, "I actually need to talk to you about something, come have a seat."

"Then you two talk, I'll go to the kitchen and cut some fruit for you," Lin Man Ru said as she stood up, and with lingering concern, she added, "Lili, if you're feeling upset, tell Mom. I'll take you out for a walk, don't stay home all alone."

"Okay."

Once the door of the study closed again, Shi Xu looked up uneasily towards Jiang Li.

"Are you... upset? Is it because of this matter?"

His hair had been cut much shorter under Jiang Li's instructions; now, his beautiful eyes were fully visible.

His eyelashes were thick and dense, occasionally a timid light flickered in his eyes, resembling a porcelain doll, possessing a fragile beauty.

Under Jiang Li's correction over the past few days, his diet and daily routine had improved, his pale face finally had a hint of color, making him look more like a young man.

However, the melancholy and fragility still clung to him like a persistent illness.

Jiang Li put the book back in its place and looked into his beautiful eyes.

"I'm not in a bad mood. The public opinion online won't affect my mood."

"That's good."

Shi Xu nodded, not probing further, clearly trusting every word Jiang Li uttered.

"What did you want to see me for?"

The corners of Jiang Li's lips curved up slightly: "Of course, I need your help."
