Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 563: Cannon Fodder Daughter and Her Cannon Fodder Dad (3)

Chapter 563: Cannon Fodder Daughter and Her Cannon Fodder Dad (3)

Jiang Lai, who had accepted all the memories of the original owner, couldn’t believe that the original owner had the guts to steal from the factory director’s wife’s room.

After sorting everything out, Little Buding began issuing tasks.

"The person the original owner envied most in her life was Shen Yaoyao. She envied Shen Yaoyao for being beautiful, popular, literate, and able to sing and dance.

So, you are responsible for making up for this regret of the original owner. This is one of the tasks.

The second task is, Jiang Hai, as the second cannon fodder of this story, needs you to save him due to his lack of self-rescue ability, so that he won’t be driven like an ox by this family anymore in this life.

Alright, there are just two tasks. Not too difficult, right?"

Jiang Lai didn’t speak. Whether it’s difficult or not can only be known once it’s started.

Little Buding continued.

"Alright, choose a skill."

"Choose what, just give whatever you have, I’m not picky."

Jiang Lai’s words made Little Buding feel a bit guilty, as if she had guessed everything.

Little Buding coughed to cover up and acted calm.

"I have plenty of good skills, but I have to follow the rules. Never mind, I’ll pick one for you..."

After rummaging around, he indeed found a decent one.

"Congratulations, you’ve acquired the skill ’I Am the Little Chef God’.

Issuing skill.

Skill issued."

"What the heck?"

Jiang Lai, hearing about this not-so-high-level skill, asked.

"Does it mean top-notch culinary skills?"

"Yes, extremely top-notch. Don’t doubt the skills I provide you with. When have I ever given you something useless?"

Jiang Lai chuckled.

"Hmm, you really are something."

"Hah! Flatterer!"

Though saying this, inwardly she was overjoyed and began eagerly searching for other new skills to dazzle Jiang Lai in the next world.

At this moment, from the front yard came the voice of Shen Yan.

"Yao Yao! Aping! Xiao Hu, Xiao Shun, Xiao Li! Come home to eat!!"

Shen Yan called everyone but Jiang Lai.

Whether she called or not didn’t matter; Jiang Lai was already hungry.

The cake Jiang Hai had left for her earlier was claimed by Shen Yaoyao as left for her, so she took it directly, causing the original owner to be upset and argue with Shen Yaoyao, ultimately being pushed to the ground by her own brother.

The cake was also dirtied.

Still hungry, Jiang Lai wouldn’t wrong herself, so she jumped off the swing and headed straight for the kitchen.

The Jiang Family lived in a large compound, sharing a yard with four families, all sharing one kitchen that came alive with activity at mealtimes.

When Jiang arrived, Shen Yaoyao and her brother Shen Ping were already walking out, each carrying a dish.

The brother and sister were well-behaved and sensible, and the entire courtyard couldn’t praise them enough.

Seeing Jiang Lai, Shen Yaoyao smiled and said to her.

"Sister, go wash your hands and eat."

Shen Yan followed behind with a blank expression and glanced at Jiang Lai.

In front of outsiders, she generally didn’t hit or scold the kids, but couldn’t resist being sharp-tongued.

"You still know to come back for dinner? I thought you would be full from eating cakes and wouldn’t need to eat."

Only she, Shen Yaoyao, and Jiang Li knew about the cake.

That fool Jiang Li wouldn’t mention it on his own, so how did Shen Yan know? Naturally, it was tied to Shen Yaoyao.

"Aunt, Jiang Lai is still young, still growing, she definitely needs to eat more. I’ve grown up already, it’s okay if I eat a bit less."

Shen Yan felt deeply that her niece was thoughtful and endearing, not to mention pretty and fair, looking just like a city girl.

Then she looked at her own daughter, yellow-skinned and thin like a monkey, with a strange temperament and not at all likable. She really wondered how she could have given birth to such a creature.

There were three other families in the kitchen who were just about to start their cooking, used to seeing the Jiang Family’s affairs.

Suddenly, they heard a sobbing sound from the kitchen.

Everyone immediately stopped their work and looked over puzzled.

Jiang Lai stood outside the door, head lowered, shoulders shaking, her voice weak but her words clear.

"Mom, I don’t dare to do it again next time, I didn’t do it on purpose, I was just too hungry, hungry enough that I could only drink cold water, I’ve never even eaten a cake, I just wanted to taste what it was like, if it was sweet or salty...

Mom, I didn’t eat it alone, the cake is still here, I only took a bite, the rest you can give to cousin and cousin-in-law."

Saying this, Jiang Lai extended her slender arm, opening her palm to offer the tightly held cake with a small bite taken out of it.

The dirty cake was covered with dust, matching the equally grimy little hand of the girl, looking unspeakably pitiful.

Just after she spoke, a kind-hearted aunt in the kitchen couldn’t help but speak up.

"Isn’t it just a piece of cake? Let the child eat it. Hai Zi works as a chef in a state-owned restaurant; their own child can’t even have a piece of cake?

Our grandson has cake to eat every day!"

"Yes, yes, not to be rude, Yan, why don’t you clean up your daughter a bit, I’ve heard she’s already fifteen or sixteen, but she looks like she’s only eleven or twelve, who would think she’s the daughter of a chef?"

"Not to mention, Shen Yan, enough is enough, after all she is your daughter, outsiders looking at her feel sorry even if you as her mother don’t."

In the same courtyard, everyone wasn’t blind.

Her own daughter was so thin, skittish all day, and hadn’t even tasted cake.

Meanwhile, her niece from the countryside was well-fed and well-dressed, mistaken for a city girl by those who didn’t know better.

Wherever Shen Yan went, she took her niece, and when others called her niece her daughter, she didn’t refute it.

One really couldn’t fathom what this mother was thinking.

Poor child.

The scolding got to Shen Yan, who prided herself on having a decent reputation, and she was filled with fury.

She wasn’t ashamed, as she felt no guilt towards Jiang Lai deep down.

But being criticized pushed her limits, as if others were meddling, with bustling attitude from the other three families leaving her no outlet for her rage, she could only smile and then turn to glare at Jiang Lai.

Once they left, the kitchen began a loud discussion.

"Jiang Lai might not be her real daughter."

"You must not know, Shen Yan was always bringing home things for her brother, now that her brother has died of illness, she treats his two kids as her own.

Oh, she dotes on them even more than her own!"

"Just think what it’s doing to Hai Zi’s heart? Such kind and honest man, now raising other’s kids while his own kid suffers, worse than a stepmother!"

The words from behind were faintly heard by Shen Yan.

Looking at Jiang Lai, it only fueled her fury, and she quickly bent to grab a twig by the stove, ready to strike at Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai had anticipated her move, and at the moment Shen Yan raised her hand, she quickly hid behind Shen Ping, pulling him in front of her forcefully.

"Smack—"

The sharp sound caused Shen Ping to wail out loud.

A red mark immediately emerged on his white arm.
