Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!
Chapter 840: How did you meet Miss Jiang?

Chapter 840: Chapter 840: How did you meet Miss Jiang?

Jiang Li seemed surprised that she would suddenly speak, paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Rong, I’ll try it."

Rong Kexi became even more annoyed.

How is it that even Rong Ya, who usually doesn’t talk to anyone, started speaking to Jiang Li?

Is she just that likable?

Gu Qiang was still trying to cozy up to Jiang Li; as she was picking up food, she started chatting with Jiang Li.

"I heard you have a brother who’s an actor, right?"

"Yes."

"Being an actor isn’t easy; your brother must have a tough time, right?"

"It’s okay."

"And what are you doing now? Oh, wait, you look about the same age as Kexi. After she came back from abroad, she’s still studying at university here. You should still be in university too, right?"

Jiang Li sipped the plum wine and said calmly, "No, I didn’t get into university before. I’m planning to try again this year."

Gu Qiang: ?

She knew Jiang Li hadn’t gone to university, so she wanted to embarrass her in public.

But she didn’t expect her to just say it so openly, without any shame at all.

Is it because the young are fearless?

Rong Kexi showed a mocking expression, but remembering her mother’s previous warnings, she forced herself to hold back the sarcasm.

Gu Qiang could only awkwardly smile and say, "That’s good, young people should be ambitious, but even if you don’t get in, don’t force yourself. For girls, marrying well might be more promising. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll meet a good match and won’t need to strive on your own."

Gu Qiang’s words were full of irony.

It mocked Jiang Li’s lack of ambition and subtly mocked her for having impure intentions in being there today.

Even the servants nearby picked up on Gu Qiang’s unfriendly tone.

Rong Kexi finally understood Gu Qiang’s intention, and it relieved her quite a bit.

Jiang Li didn’t speak, but her high heel under the table savagely stomped on Zhao Lang’s foot.

She had stirred things up to this extent; he should step in to handle it, right?

Zhao Lang understood her meaning well.

But that stomp was quite heavy; he sucked in a breath of cold air to suppress the pain, then maintained his composure and looked at Gu Qiang.

"Aunt, you seem to be in a good mood today?"

Gu Qiang heard Gu Yu finally speaking up to question her, feeling a bit more pleased.

She turned her gaze towards Zhao Lang with a smile.

"Yu’er, I’ve always been curious, how did you and Miss Jiang meet? Was it because of the show ’Shining Transformation Trip’?"

The moment she finished speaking, the faces of three people changed.

The first to change faces were the old couple, Gu Shengrong and Old Sir Gu.

But their reaction was subtle, so subtle that no one else noticed.

But Gu Qiang, who had served them for decades and was the most observant in the Gu Family, naturally sensed something was off.

So was her previous suspicion correct after all?

The other with a subtle expression was Jiang Li.

She immediately understood Gu Qiang’s unusual intention.

So it was aimed at Zhao Lang?

Indeed.

Otherwise, Jin Siyue wouldn’t have caused such a commotion before.

So Gu Qiang was planning to reveal everything today?

Tsk tsk, this drama is quite entertaining.

It was worth coming here.

However, the person involved, Zhao Lang, showed little expression.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, meeting Gu Qiang’s gaze.

"What do you mean?"

"No meaning at all, just a bit curious," Gu Qiang replied with a smile, "Aunt just wants to ask you something, don’t get upset. Have you ever been to Chixia Village?"

Gu Shengrong squinted his eyes, "Gu Qiang, what are you trying to do?"

"Dad, don’t worry, I’m just asking Gu Yu," she said.

The Rong Family people were somewhat baffled.

The conversation between the Gu Family members felt like a riddle; they couldn’t understand what they were talking about.

But judging by everyone’s reactions, they knew it wasn’t a trivial matter.

Rong Junsheng sensed that something might happen today, silently exchanged a glance with Shi Lei.

Shi Lei understood, keeping a close watch as well.

Gu Qiang then looked towards the old lady, feigning difficulty as she said:

"A few days ago, when I was at the market with the housekeeper, I encountered a person, just a countryside woman. I shouldn’t have paid attention, but she claimed to know Gu Yu, and even knew his true identity—"

Rong Junsheng was taken aback.

Gu Yu’s true identity?

Could it really be....?

His brows furrowed, recalling the rumors he’d heard before.

Previously, Gu Yu had always been kept tightly under wraps by the Gu Family, with no information leaking out.

It was said he was sent to an academy in England, but even then, it shouldn’t have been kept so secret, especially now that he’s suddenly appearing in the spotlight.

It was hard not to find it puzzling.

Some speculated that the real Gu Yu had died in the accident that killed the Gu Family’s eldest son, and the current one was just a stand-in arranged by Old Sir Gu to stabilize the family’s business.

If that were true, they didn’t need to involve themselves in this mess.

The Old Master wouldn’t want Kexi to marry into such a potential trouble either.

But Rong Junsheng shook his head, dismissing this speculation.

There were also rumors in the Capital that Gu Qiang wasn’t Gu Shengrong’s biological child. Before things were clarified, he would just observe for now.

Hearing Gu Qiang’s words, Gu Shengrong’s expression turned completely cold. He was about to unleash his anger when the old lady stopped him with a hand.

Her expression unchanged, she looked towards Gu Qiang.

"And then, Ah Qiang, what did that woman say?"

"This......" Gu Qiang glanced at the few people, biting her lip, seemingly in a predicament, "Mom, it might not be appropriate to say it here, right?"

"It’s fine, go ahead," she said looking at the Rong Family members seated opposite, "We’re all family here, nothing to hide."

Gu Qiang sneered inwardly.

If that’s the case, then don’t blame her for being ruthless.

"That woman claimed that Gu Yu was actually from their village and that she watched him grow up there! Isn’t that strange? Yu’er was born in the Capital, went abroad when he was a bit older, when did he ever go to such a desolate place?"

"I got angry and wanted to drive her away, but she pulled out a photo. I looked at it, and it really did look a bit like our Yu’er!"

As Gu Qiang spoke, she took out the photo she had prepared.

As she handed it over, Jiang Li took a glimpse.

The photo indeed was of Zhao Lang.

But it was before his transformation, with black hair, a rough face, and a weak physique.

However, looking closely, one could tell it was him.

The old lady looked at the photo, laughed, then handed it to Gu Shengrong.

"It really does look alike, old man, take a look."

Gu Shengrong didn’t take it, instead sipping from the wine glass next to him.

The old lady didn’t show any reaction, directly handing the photo to Zhao Lang.

"Yu’er, what do you think?"
