Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Can’t Easily Forgive the Scumbag!

Xu Ling was completely dumbfounded.

Jiang Li’s words seemed absurd, yet there also seemed to be a trace of evidence, subtly aligning with her own unease.

Her hand holding the phone began to tremble uncontrollably.

“No, that can’t be possible, Ah Jie… how could he be… he’s always been so good to me…”

At this moment, the live stream erupted.

[Holy crap, what kind of explosive drama is this? I’m shocked.]

[Did the sister actually get conned into marriage?! For real? Could Jiang Li be making this up?]

[Better safe than sorry, sister, stay alert!]

Jiang Li spoke with composure, “This is indeed what I saw in the divination. I can only say that he is not your true match. If you insist on bonding with him in marriage, I’m afraid it may harm your fortune in many ways.”

Aunt Lin, still immersed in Jiang Li’s previous words, hadn’t snapped out of it and tightened her grip on Xu Ling’s arm with an ugly expression.

“What do you mean by ‘personal issues’? How could our Lingling be deceived?”

An aunt standing by, seeing her increasingly agitated, quickly pulled her aside.

“Aunt Lin, pay attention, they’re still filming here. By the looks of what Master Jiang is saying, could it be that your future son-in-law has been messing around behind your daughter’s back?”

Aunt Lin looked stunned, “How is that possible? I always thought Cheng Wenjie was a very honest kid.”

Xu Ling had also collected herself and forced a smile, saying, “Miss Jiang, could there have been a mistake? Ah Jie… he couldn’t be that kind of person. We’ve been together for so long, and he’s always been so attentive to me.”

Jiang Li spoke evenly, “Everyone has a side they keep hidden. Since he wants to win you over, he would naturally do all he can to conceal his misdeeds. Think back carefully, during your relationship, has he ever spoken to you about his past experiences?”

As if struck by a revelation, Xu Ling froze, as though a thought had just hit her.

“He, he said that the past of two people isn’t important, what matters are the present and the future. He also said he used to be immature and made many mistakes, but he’s corrected them all now…”

[Isn’t this just PUA?! Sister, open your eyes!]

[OMG, sister was almost conned into marriage, that’s just outrageous. Who is this guy? Can we expose him so all our female comrades can avoid this thunder?]

Watching the continuous barrage of comments, Xu Ling steadied her mind and, in a low voice, uttered her boyfriend’s name.

“His name is Cheng Wenjie. He did his undergrad at Hai University, and his post-grad abroad. He returned to the country a couple of years ago, and then we got together… Miss Jiang, is he really a scumbag? I still can’t accept it…”

No sooner had Xu Ling finished speaking did the live stream’s comment section spew out such a piece of information.

[Cheng Wenjie from the 17th grade of Hai University’s School of Economics and Management??]

Xu Ling’s eyes widened, “Yes, he studied international economics and trade!”

[Then there’s no mistake, it’s confirmed. Back in his undergrad days, he even dated several girls at the same time, and got one of them pregnant. It caused a huge scandal back then.]

[That’s right, that’s right, I’m also from Hai University and I’ve heard about it. This Cheng Wenjie plays around a lot! He often hangs out with a bunch and parties, and that circle of theirs… they’ve been known to do that sort of thing.]

[Holy smokes, this is explosive. And he studied abroad, you know some overseas student communities… Those who get it, get it.]

[Sister, quickly give me your contact information, I’ll send you proof, you can’t be deceived into marriage!!!]

Xu Ling covered her mouth, a wave of physical discomfort spreading from her stomach throughout her body.

With so much evidence and witnesses at this point, even if she was unwilling to believe it, any denial would just be self-deception.

Xu Ling couldn’t contain her soft sobbing, “How could this happen? Ah Jie, how could he do this to me?!”

Two years, she was actually deceived by his hypocritical facade for two whole years!

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Li’s brows slightly furrowed, knowing that Xu Ling believed it, she began to console:

“Given the circumstances, sadness and grief will only add to your own troubles, don’t harbor resentment or resort to improper means to seek revenge. Cutting your losses and turning back early, minimizing your financial damage, is the righteous path.”

[Lili is so right! It’s important to cut your losses in time!]

[Oh my God, Master Jiang’s values are so upright, she’s even advising the lady not to take irrational revenge. It makes sense, after all, the lady is still an official employee, and it’d be bad if she lost her job because of this.]

[We can’t easily forgive the scumbag! It’s outrageous, to blatantly deceive someone into marriage!]

As there were already many regulars in Jiang Li’s live stream room, more people rushed over when they heard the news, causing the number of online viewers to break through a hundred thousand in one fell swoop.

In an instant, the news of Xu Ling being deceived into marriage by a scumbag was known by over a hundred thousand people and immediately topped the trending searches.

Marriage has always been a controversial topic, and this sparked societal public opinion.

As the number of people exposing him grew, Cheng Wenjie’s ugly face was revealed bit by bit.

Some even posted photos of his “indulgent” behavior from his study abroad period online.

After reading all the information, all that remained in Xu Ling was anger.

Angry at being deceived, angry that her genuine love had been wasted.

Having sorted out her thoughts, she continuously thanked Jiang Li.

“Miss Jiang, I’m extremely grateful for your reminder. Had it not been for you, this scumbag could have ruined my life. Thank you also for advising me to stay rational. Rest assured, I know what to do. I’ll ask you to pass the phone to my mother in a bit; she might not be able to handle the truth right away. I need to comfort her.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Li promptly returned the phone to Aunt Lin.

From Xu Ling’s Life Plate, it wasn’t hard to see she was a steady girl who knew the bigger picture; otherwise, she wouldn’t have come out from those mountains and transformed into the person she is now.

She was sure to lead an even more brilliant and happy life after this ordeal.

After comforting her mother, Xu Ling, who hung up the phone, felt as if she had just woken from a big dream.

But she quickly steadied her heart, picked up her phone, and penned a 2,000-word post that she uploaded to social media.

A liberal arts major, she worked a clerical job at the transportation bureau; writing was second nature to her.

This social media post, every word crafted with precision, not only revealed the conspiracy of Cheng Wenjie and his parents but also warned all women to be vigilant.

At the end of the article, she also expressed her deepest gratitude to Jiang Li.

Once the post was published, it instantly went viral.

Cheng Wenjie also saw the trending topic online and immediately called Xu Ling to confront her about her intentions.

Xu Ling didn’t entertain him, calmly hanging up and blocking all means of contacting him before turning to spend five thousand yuan to promote her own social media post.

Jiang Li also received a notable amount of attention from this incident; her social media following shot up by hundreds of thousands, not to mention her live stream audience count skyrocketed past two hundred thousand.

Director Sun was originally intended to warn her after receiving a report that Master Jiang was providing harmful guidance through her fortune telling.

Seeing the numbers, he simply hung up on the reporter.

Joking aside, Jiang Li was now their program’s lifeline for viewership. If she got reported, what would they even film?
