Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 192: Chapter 192 He will definitely not let go of this detestable woman!

Jiang Shixu had never imagined that Jiang Cheng, who had been so arrogant just moments before, would in the next second put on an even more aggrieved expression, standing there shocked and stunned.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Li was also silent for a moment before she spoke, “What exactly happened?”

Jiang Shixu was just about to explain when Jiang Cheng hurriedly snatched the phone away.

“Sister, listen to me, this is my fault, it truly is. I was the one who barged into Shi Xu’s room first and I also damaged his portable music player, but I just said I would compensate him with a new one, but, but Shi Xu still wanted to rush up and hit me, I, I was scared to death….”

Jiang Cheng feigned it well, his voice even trembling, making it sound like he was indeed terrified.

“No, it’s not like that!” Jiang Shixu yelled, with tears streaming down his face even more.

Even though Jiang Cheng admitted his fault seamlessly and his attitude was perfectly feigned, the insightful Jiang Li didn’t believe a word and instantly discerned his ulterior motives.

—This child was definitely not as well-behaved as he appeared to be.

After coming up with a solution, Jiang Li spoke indifferently, “Yes, you are indeed at fault.”

Her cold voice and unexpected reaction made Jiang Cheng involuntarily stunned.

“Let’s not say whether you intentionally entered Shi Xu’s room, even if you were worried about Shi Xu’s safety, should you not have left immediately upon discovering the room was empty? Why did you tamper with his belongings instead?”

Listening to Jiang Li’s stern and emotionless words, Jiang Cheng was completely dumbstruck.

When had this woman become so serious?

“I, I…” He just wanted to argue but was interrupted by Jiang Li again.

“Jiang Cheng, you should not carelessly damage others’ belongings, though it was just a portable music player, you do not know how much it meant to others.”

“I remember last year on your birthday, Grandpa gave you a golden lion toy, which you liked very much. How about this, since you want to sincerely apologize, why not give that golden lion to Shi Xu?”

Jiang Cheng’s pupils constricted, and without thinking, he blurted out, “Why should I?!”

“Because Shi Xu liked that portable music player just as you like that lion, a fair exchange, what’s wrong with that?” Jiang Li said in an indisputable tone.

“But, but….” Jiang Cheng tried hard to argue, but after stammering “but” for a long time, he couldn’t think of a word to say, instead he ended up red-faced with anger.

How could that broken music player be comparable to his lion?!

That lion was a toy custom-made by a top-tier jeweler, brought back specially from abroad by Grandpa, crafted entirely out of gold and embellished with gems all over, its price comparable to a house.

That was why he cherished it so much.

After he brought it to school the next day, it had attracted everyone’s envious gazes.

That golden lion was equivalent to a declaration of his worth and status. How could he easily let Jiang Shixu have it?!

Hearing Jiang Li’s words, Jiang Shixu gradually stopped crying, and a proud and triumphant expression slowly spread across his face.

Truly, the sister he respected and loved the most was still so fair and impartial.

Jiang Cheng, however, clenched his fists tighter, his eyes simmering with uncontainable resentment.

After a moment, he forcibly suppressed these emotions.

Fine, let’s not quarrel over this fleeting quarrel. After all, Jiang Li didn’t know whether he would really give the golden lion to Jiang Shixu.

“Fine, I understand, sister,” Jiang Cheng grudgingly forced out these words through clenched teeth.

Jiang Li responded with a detached “hmm” from the other end.

But she was well aware of Jiang Cheng’s cunning thoughts, so she then made a call to Jiang Ye.

Following the recent event, the now submissive Jiang Ye immediately retrieved the golden lion from Jiang Cheng’s room.

Although he didn’t understand why the usually obedient Second Young Master would conflict with the Third Young Master, who was scared of meeting people.

But since the eldest miss had ordered it, he just followed the instructions.

Jiang Ye pushed open the door to Jiang Shixu’s room and was startled by the multitude of Jiang Li’s photos plastered on the wall.

However, he immediately remembered Jiang Shixu’s fragile and sensitive personality and suppressed his shock, maintaining a calm demeanor as he said,

“Third Young Master, this is what the eldest miss asked me to give you.”

Upon seeing what was in Jiang Ye’s hands, Jiang Cheng’s eyes widened in shock.

“How dare you tamper with my belongings?!”

Over the phone, Jiang Li’s voice rang out again.

“Jiang Cheng, do you now understand others’ anger? Consider this a lesson bought for you, and if such a situation arises again, I won’t be lenient.”

Jiang Li spoke gently, her tone calm and devoid of emotional fluctuations, yet it was overwhelmingly oppressive.

Jiang Cheng stood frozen, clenching and unclenching his fists, unable to decide what to do.

Fine, consider it a lesson bought!

He definitely wouldn’t let Jiang Shixu off next time!

And definitely not Jiang Li, that detestable woman!

After receiving the golden lion, Jiang Shixu wiped the tears from his face; the anger and sadness from before had largely subsided by now.

He didn’t particularly like this glittery toy, but it was compensation that Jiang Li had fought for him, and even if he didn’t like it, he was happy.

Jiang Shixu deliberately turned his head away from Jiang Cheng, “I, I reluctantly forgive you, now please, please leave and do not come into my room again, you are not welcome here.”

Jiang Cheng scoffed, flicked his hand dismissively, and walked out.

Who would want to enter his room?

With so many photos of that detestable woman on the wall, it was utterly nauseating.

Welcoming him in? He wouldn’t come in even if invited!

The door slammed shut with a “bang,” and Jiang Ye also left.

Jiang Shixu then picked up his phone again, carefully uttering a “hello,” “Sister, thank you.”

“There’s no need to thank me,” Jiang Li said, “If this happens again, don’t cry; crying is not a solution.”

“Okay, I understand,” Jiang Shixu choked up again.

He didn’t want to cry, but whenever he got emotional, the tears uncontrollably streamed down, and his body couldn’t stop shaking.

Had it not been for Jiang Li’s sudden call, he feared he wouldn’t have been able to utter a word of protest.

“But the portable music player you gave me….” Jiang Shixu crouched down and touched the pieces, “It’s my fault, should have kept them safe.”

As he spoke, his eyes reddened again.

“It’s okay,” Jiang Li’s voice softened, “It’s not something irreplaceable; when I return, I will record another segment for you. Besides, I have prepared another gift for you. Let this incident pass, don’t dwell on it and hurt yourself.”
