Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!
Chapter 876: Gu Family’s Future Granddaughter-in-law!

Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Gu Family’s Future Granddaughter-in-law!

The first day passed peacefully.

Early on the second day, Jiang Li went to the film crew.

Lately, she’s been busy with the Qixing Tower project and hasn’t been over to South City much.

Now that she has some free time, she wants to check out the situation here.

Shao Changqing has been consistently updating her on the progress.

Many actors have already wrapped up their scenes, and they are shooting and doing post-production simultaneously.

Though the schedule is extended, the film is almost finished as soon as filming wraps up.

She watched the initial draft, and the special effects are impressive, and the plot connects well.

Jiang Yan’s performance is also outstanding.

At this rate, recouping the costs should not be a problem.

Jiang Yan received the news last night and had been waiting at the entrance of the film city early.

He still had special effects makeup on his face, and now with a stern expression, he looked even more reluctant.

Every few minutes, Jiang Yan would glance at his phone.

"What’s wrong with this woman? Every time she visits the set, she makes me pick her up. What’s so special about this place that she visits every few days? Am I not welcome?"

Shang Shuyue, beside him: "...."

She tried not to notice the smile Jiang Yan couldn’t suppress at the corner of his mouth.

This guy always acts tough but is honest at heart.

Every time Jiang Li visits, he grumbles for ages, but his body is honest enough to come out an hour early to wait for her.

Shang Shuyue pretended to agree: "Yes, yes, let’s quickly go inside, finish the remaining makeup, and then come out."

Jiang Yan’s expression twitched for a moment.

"But if that woman arrives early and doesn’t see me, she’s sure to scold me again. Never mind, I’ll just wait here."

Shang Shuyue: Hehe, just as expected.

Several minutes later, Jiang Li’s car pulled up.

Seeing her made Shang Shuyue a bit happy too. As she was waving her hand to go over, ten or so reporters suddenly appeared from nowhere, swarming towards her.

"Look, it’s Jiang Li!"

"It really is her. I finally got her. Quick, get a good spot!"

"Miss Jiang, you haven’t been on any variety shows lately. Is it because you’re busy with the construction of Fuhu Mountain’s Qixing Tower? What secrets does it hold?"

"..."

Jiang Yan frowned and strode over.

He knew Jiang Li generally didn’t like being surrounded by reporters.

"Hey, hey, hey," Jiang Yan shouted robustly, "you better leave, don’t interrupt our work!"

The reporters turned around to see a dark-skinned man with flamboyant makeup and a bald head walking towards them.

They were startled and puzzled—

Who is this guy? Is he Jiang Li’s boyfriend?!

Immediately, they turned their microphones and cameras towards him.

"Sir, what’s your relationship with Miss Jiang? Why are you defending her so much?"

This was precisely why Jiang Yan hated dealing with reporters.

Their questions seemed mindless.

"Ha, who do you think I am? Jiang Li is my mom, I’m her son, satisfied with this answer?"

The questioning reporter: "....."

Someone nearby seemed to recognize him and cautiously nudged the reporter.

"Hey, isn’t this Jiang Yan? They say he’s got a nasty temper and has driven several interviewers to tears before. Let’s keep our distance."

Jiang Yan didn’t bother with them and walked straight to Jiang Li, grabbing her arm.

"Come with me, these reporters won’t dare bother you."

But Jiang Li actually shook off his hand, smiling at the group of reporters.

"If you have questions, feel free to ask me. I’ll try to answer as many as I can."

This was Jiang Li’s first time being so proactive in facing an interview, making the reporters’ eyes light up, eager to shove microphones right into her face.

"Miss Jiang, have you invested in ’Doomsday Beehive’?"

"Is it true that you invested all the money you won in the extreme challenge variety show into this movie? Aren’t you afraid of losing all your assets?"

"Miss Jiang, there have been rumors that you’re quite close with Mr. Gu Yu from the Gu Group. Have there been any developments in your relationship?"

"...."

A swarm of reporters surged forward, pushing Jiang Yan out of the way.

Jiang Li slightly smiled, facing the cameras head-on.

"It’s like this, I have great confidence in this movie, which is why I invested all my possessions. The movie is expected to be released during the summer holidays, so media personnel can keep an eye out. Personally, I think the film’s plot and special effects are pretty well done, and the actors are all great."

"As for Young Master Gu...." Jiang Li lowered her head, flicking her hair, "we are still just good friends for now. Even though I recently had dinner at his place, it doesn’t mean much, right?"

As soon as she said that, everyone gasped.

Had dinner at his house?!

Having dinner at his house doesn’t mean much?!

Is dinner at the Gu family’s house that easily obtainable?!

After a solid half hour, Jiang Li bid farewell to the reporters with a smile.

When she turned around, she saw Jiang Yan standing under the corridor with a grim face.

"What’s going on with you?"

Though he’s dense, he’s still Jiang Li’s biological brother; he also noticed her unusual behavior this time.

Jiang Li calmly walked up to him.

"You’ll understand what’s going on in a few days."

Jiang Yan followed up, suddenly as if he realized something, widening his eyes.

"You’re not planning to officially announce with Gu Yu, are you?!"

Jiang Li: ?

"How did you get that idea?"

"Then why did you suddenly mention him in front of so many reporters?"

"I——"

For the first time, Jiang Li was at a loss for words under questioning, and all she could do was blurt out—

"Just consider it as fishing!"

Her fishing indeed caught quite a few big fish.

Firstly, Gu Shengrong, who had been keeping an eye on her, saw her interview.

Watching Jiang Li shyly mention the previous meal at his place, Old Sir Gu jumped up from his recliner excitedly, immediately calling over He Pingzhang.

Pointing at the phone, he was trembling uncontrollably.

He Pingzhang, who rushed over, thought there was a problem with the group’s stocks and was racking his brain for solutions when he heard the old man say—

"Quick, get the PR to put this interview on trending, come up with a trending title yourself, and make sure it stays on Weibo for a week!"

He Pingzhang: ....?

Ten minutes later, a fresh hashtag #Gu Family’s future granddaughter-in-law# hit the top of Weibo’s trending list.

Clicking in revealed a beautiful photo shoot of Jiang Li.

Weibo exploded.

Gu Family?

The richest Gu Family?

Their devastatingly handsome grandson is getting married?!

And it’s Jiang Li?!

Uninformed netizens might think it’s just another publicity stunt by fan accounts or CP fans.

But those in the know immediately sensed something was off.

This is the Gu Family!

Which media outlet would dare to fabricate stories about them?
