Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 290 - : The Jiang Family is to be Destroyed

It was nearly evening when Jiang Li checked into Beijing Hospital.

Lin Manru and Shen Lan had already arranged a doctor and a bed for her, and hired a caretaker as well, but they still didn’t feel at ease and watched over her all day.

Jiang Li persuaded them, “I’m almost all better now, you don’t have to stay glued to my side.”

“How can we not?” Lin Manru carefully tucked in the blanket for her, “Mom won’t have peace of mind for a single day you’re not home.”

“But aren’t Grandpa and the others back? There are more people at home now, and you tending to me on top of that will only wear you out more, Mom.”

Shen Lan also felt there was some truth to this and joined in comforting Lin Manru.

“Right, big sister, it’s always been you taking care of the whole family. I don’t understand any of it and can’t be of help, and none of the guys at home are any worry-free, you running back and forth will just make you more tired.”

Lin Manru thought it over and felt there was indeed some sense to it.

“Alright, I understand, I’ll go back tonight, and let your brother stay with you. It’s not like he’s got anything proper to do these days anyway.”

Jiang Yan, who was resting nearby, heard this and was just about to retort, but then he swallowed his words.

He truly didn’t have any proper business, and he didn’t want to go home at this moment.

After all, Old Sir Jiang had just returned, and if he showed up, he might just get a thorough scolding again.

Better to avoid trouble by staying here.

After Lin Manru and Shen Lan left in turn, Jiang Li picked up her book and started reading again.

Looking at the abstruse text, Jiang Yan frowned.

“Is that book really so interesting? Can’t you just rest properly?”

Jiang Li’s expression didn’t change.

“I am resting properly.”

Jiang Yan: ?

Counting reading as resting, she must be the only one in the world.

“I can’t stand reading even a little bit,” Jiang Yan muttered as he lay back down on the couch and started scrolling through his phone.

Not long after, he shouted and sprang up from the bed.

“Damn, who the hell is still spreading rumors about us being dead, saying the Jiang Family has started preparing funerals, describing it with such detail, and even saying Old Sir Jiang rushed back to the Capital for the funeral a few days ago and aged a decade overnight? The old man is over 70 this year; age another decade and wouldn’t he be in the grave?”

Jiang Li furrowed her brows.

As crude as Jiang Yan’s words were, they weren’t without reason.

So, she put down her book and also opened Weibo.

Although official statements had been made, many were still fooled by the rumors, thinking that she and Jiang Yan had all perished at the hands of criminals, especially since she hadn’t responded until now.

After thinking about it, Jiang Li sent a message in her fan club group.

[I’m planning to post a Weibo shortly to clarify the rumors online, remember to help me share it.]

Immediately, the group exploded.

Seeing the message, Lu Xingchao’s hands trembled with excitement.

[Holy shit, goddess rises from the dead… no wait, goddess, you finally showed up!!!]

Jiang Li replied: [Yeah, I’m back in the Capital, and I’ve almost fully recovered.]

Others also chimed in one after another.

“Ahhh, Lili is back in the Capital, oh my god, this is the first time I’ve been this close to my idol.”

“Sniffle, Lili must be exhausted from the journey, it’s so tough on her.”

“Lili, you’re a hero! Don’t mind those online rumors; they’re just jealous, that’s all!”

After the poacher incident, Jiang Li’s Weibo followers had surged to over five million. Accordingly, the group of her detractors had grown larger as well.

Many people didn’t believe that a frail girl like her, who couldn’t even truss a chicken, could have survived unscathed from the criminals’ retaliation.

It must be media exaggeration.

However, just as they were slandering and framing her, Jiang Li’s Weibo suddenly became active again.

First, she posted a photo of herself and Jiang Yan at the hospital, and then she added a string of text—

“All is well, I hope everyone refrains from spreading misinformation.”

The simple photo immediately caused a sensation.

Jiang Li’s fans were also very supportive; they quickly shared the Weibo post across major social media platforms.

“Ahhh, I knew they were both fine! After making such a great contribution, how could they just disappear without a trace?”

“Lili looks so beautiful, even when she’s ill she’s still so enchanting. I wish I were the book in her hands, cherished by her.”

“The rumor-mongers can take a rest now, they’ve safely returned to the Capital. And yet there are still people saying they were trapped in the forest unable to get out.”

“I really want to know what happened during that time, how is Daniu? How did you manage to survive?”

“Daniu managed to stay unharmed in the Primordial Forest for thirteen days—way tougher than that guy who came out of the survival variety show next door.”

Even though there were still voices of doubt, Jiang Li’s appearance finally put everyone’s mind at ease.

The members of the “Labor Team” group quickly received the news about Jiang Li.

Wen Jiaojiao was excited beyond words, and immediately wanted to pack up and visit her, but was persuaded by her parents to calm down.

Mrs. Wen said, “Your father has asked around, Jiang Li is now staying in a hospital in the North District, it’s very far from here. It’s so late already, it’s not convenient for you to go. It’d be better to go tomorrow; you can buy more things to take with you.”

“Yeah,” Mr. Wen added, “The old Sir Jiang from their family has returned these past few days; they must be extremely busy. It wouldn’t be good for you to show up in the middle of the night; they might find it inconvenient.”

Mr. and Mrs. Wen didn’t hold much hope, as their daughter had always been headstrong from a young age, always doing the opposite of what was told.

However, this time her reaction completely surprised them.

Wen Jiaojiao thought for a moment. freewebnøvel.coɱ

“That makes sense, you’re right, it’s too late now, I won’t disturb Lili. I’ll go tomorrow after I pack, goodnight mom and dad.”

Mr. and Mrs. Wen looked at each other, disbelief on their faces.

Mr. Wen gestured towards Wen Jiaojiao’s retreating figure, “Is that really our daughter? When did she become so reasonable and considerate?”

Mrs. Wen shook her head, then nodded, “It’s indeed our daughter, she has changed so much. It seems letting her join that transformation variety show was the right decision.”

She nudged her husband, “Why don’t we visit this Jiang Li someday? I’ve heard she can tell fortunes; if she really is that amazing and can help our Jiaojiao, then this is a friendship we should cultivate.”

“Indeed, we should visit her. She saved our Jiaojiao twice. I’ll look at our upcoming schedule to plan a visit to their home.”

Speaking of which, Mrs. Wen’s expression froze for a moment, “Visit their home? Didn’t several ladies I met at the hair salon say their family is troubled? They finally had a sensible and capable eldest in the big house, and he died young. And then there’s the illegitimate child, tsk tsk, it seems the Jiang Family is on the brink of ruin.”

Mr. Wen nodded in agreement.

The relationship between the two families had long transcended simple kinship—all tinged with self-interest.

With their family still active in the entertainment industry, reputation mattered even more.

“You’re right, I should think it over.”
