Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!
Chapter 851 Peace Charm

Chapter 851: Chapter 851 Peace Charm

Rong Kexi’s face turned green.

She initially came with the expectation of becoming the Gu Family’s granddaughter-in-law.

But, to her surprise, after getting swept up in a muddle over true and false heirs, the Old Madam suddenly announced she wanted her as a god-granddaughter?!

Her own grandmother is still alive, does she need a god-grandmother?

Rong Kexi crossed her arms, her face darkened, and remained silent.

The servant was already carrying over a delicate little box.

"Miss Rong, these are jade earrings and a jade ring the Old Madam had sculpted some time ago. You can choose the one you like, and the other will be given to Miss Rong."

Upon hearing this, Rong Kexi became even angrier.

"What do you mean? Does it mean I have to split these two with Rong Ya?"

She was already filled with rage.

Although the accessories given by the Old Madam were not large, the color was very rich, making them quite rare.

And now she has to split them with Rong Ya?!

Why?!

The more Rong Kexi spoke, the louder her voice became, Shi Lei frowned and pressed her hand down, then looked at the Old Madam with a smile.

"Old Madam, I apologize. Kexi has always been straightforward, but you know, this child has had a fondness for Gu Yu since childhood. I noticed that they are about the same age, so I came to ask the Old Madam’s opinion."

Shi Lei directly laid it out.

After all, given the Old Madam’s statement, continuing to hold back would make it completely hopeless.

The Old Madam stirred her tea foam and laughed.

"Our Gu Yu is a rascal, not someone stable. Don’t delay Kexi. If Kexi is interested, I have a few suitable ones here."

Shi Lei and Rong Junsheng’s expressions both tensed.

With the Old Madam saying this.

Naturally, that matter is impossible.

Why?

Is it because of Jiang Li who suddenly came?

Did the Old Madam fancy her?

Why?

Shi Lei and Rong Junsheng both then looked at the opposite side where Jiang Li was silently eating snacks.

Jiang Li became aware of their gaze but remained motionless.

Suddenly, her hand beneath the table was gripped by someone.

Jiang Li furrowed her brow slightly and glanced sideways to find Zhao Lang carefully wiping the crumbs off her hand with a handkerchief.

"Be careful while eating." he whispered.

Jiang Li: "...."

Is this person addicted to touching, or what?

Rong Kexi glared at the two of them with a strange posture, jealousy almost breaking the teacup in her hand.

If this wasn’t Gu Family’s territory.

With Jiang Li like this.

She would definitely make her come vertically, and go out horizontally!

Just like that presumptuous Su Yinwan!

No choice, after all, the Gu Family is extensive, and Gu Yu is not as easily manipulated as they imagined.

Finally, Shi Lei could only take a pair of jade earrings on behalf of Rong Kexi.

Rong Ya said nothing, accepted the box containing the jade ring, and continued to be silent.

While thanking Old Mrs. Xie, her gaze briefly swept toward Jiang Li.

The Old Madam also looked at Jiang Li.

"Miss Jiang, sorry to inconvenience you, I’ve only prepared gifts for the two sisters of the Rong Family."

Hearing this, Rong Kexi’s expression slightly improved.

Apparently, the Old Madam didn’t particularly favor Jiang Li.

She even seemed to dislike her.

Her tone was neither cold nor warm, ostensibly apologizing but more like a perfunctory gesture to fulfill etiquette.

Jiang Li replied with a smile, "It’s okay, Old Madam. I happen to have a gift for you."

The Old Madam was somewhat surprised, "For me?"

Jiang Li nodded, stood up from her seat, and like performing magic, took out many wallets.

"These wallets contain talismans I drew. Though they don’t have great power to shake the earth, they can ward off small calamities."

As she spoke, she placed the wallets on the tray held by the servant.

The Old Madam picked one from the wallets and glanced at it.

"Hmm, not bad, not many people know embroidery these days."

As she said this, she placed the wallet back and glanced at the people below.

"Why don’t you all pick one too? So many peace charms, might as well pick something auspicious."

Rong Kexi whispered, "A shabby wallet, and she dared to present it, how brazen."

Yet ultimately, the servant placed the wallets for everyone to pick.

Gu Yu naturally liked them.

He wished he could take all on the tray.

Rong Ya showed no reaction, casually picked one that caught her eye.

Rong Kexi initially didn’t want one, but with so many people around, she could only begrudgingly pick one.

Shi Lei also showed no reaction, picked two intending to hand them to Rong Junsheng.

But Rong Junsheng didn’t accept.

He raised his head, glanced at Jiang Li, and saw her giving a nonchalant smile at the Old Madam.

After hesitating for a while, he decided to take it.

During the latter half, the Rong Family barely ate anything.

Seeing things were about done, Rong Junsheng stood up and bid farewell with his wife and daughter.

As soon as they got into the car, Rong Kexi started complaining.

"What do they mean, calling us over to watch a show, and finally saying they want to recognize me as a god-granddaughter?! Is this intentionally insulting me?!"

"And that Jiang Li, why did she eat with us?!"

Shi Lei was also full of resentment.

"Ugh, today wasn’t worth it, but..."

She changed her tone to reassure her daughter.

"Since the Old Madam let us in on so many affairs and even gave you something, this indicates she at least acknowledges our family, wanting to connect with us. Nowadays, love is free; if Gu Yu likes you, does what the Old Madam says about recognition matter?"

Rong Kexi’s eyes brightened, "Mom, are you saying..."

Shi Lei smiled and held her daughter’s hand, "My daughter is naturally the best in the world, and deserves the best man in the world."

Then she looked at Rong Junsheng, somewhat displeased.

"You should at least say something, didn’t you notice the attitude of the Gu Family today?"

Rong Junsheng remained silent for quite a while before coldly looking at her.

"Do you have all the wallets?"

Shi Lei was taken aback, "What wallets?"

Rong Kexi snorted, "That ones Jiang Li gave, I forgot if Dad didn’t mention, such poor items dared to be presented."

"Quickly throw them away."

Rong Junsheng abruptly ordered.

Although Rong Kexi intended to dispose of the wallets, it wasn’t something her father would prioritize.

"Dad, is there a problem with the wallets?"

"Exactly." Shi Lei was also puzzled.

Rong Junsheng’s expression turned somber and somewhat frightening, "Don’t ask so much, just do as I say."

"Wait, don’t throw them away. Burn them when you return, Shi Lei, watch it closely, burn them as thoroughly as possible."

Shi Lei was more puzzled, "If you don’t like them, just throw them away, why go to such lengths?"

Rong Junsheng sneered, "Didn’t you hear what Jiang Li said? There are talismans inside those wallets; whether they are peace charms or not, who knows?"
