Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 721 Apology

Jiang Li’s car had just passed a traffic light when a phone call beckoned her to return.

As she entered the principal’s office with Ji Yanbai, she saw a row of students standing at the far end.

The one in the middle was the most battered, with bandages wrapped around his arm and a tall boy, now weeping like a tearful figure.

Standing next to him was Jiang Cheng.

His head was bowed, his expression completely obscured, revealing only the blue veins on his arm that had yet to subside.

The bald-headed dean stood across from them, delivering a lecture with spittle flying everywhere.

Upon seeing Jiang Li come in, he crossed his face and said with hands behind his back, "Which class are you from? It’s bad enough not studying in class early in the morning, but not wearing your school uniform?"

The homeroom teacher, with an embarrassed face, hurried over.

"Director, she’s not a student, she’s Jiang Cheng’s sister."

The dean pushed his glasses up, obviously somewhat incredulous, and it took him a long while to say, "So you are Jiang Cheng’s sister."

Saying this, he turned and glanced at Jiang Cheng, "Jiang Cheng is usually quite obedient; today he must have been provoked. The student he beat up is known in the school as a troublemaker. I’m still investigating who’s right and who’s wrong, Miss Jiang, please have a seat."

The beaten student felt a wave of injustice upon hearing the director’s words, but he dared not let out a peep.

With his parents busy at the company and unable to step away, who would have his back? How could he say anything?!

Jiang Li, however, took a seat on the couch, her cold eyes shifting to Jiang Cheng.

"Who threw the first punch?"

Jiang Cheng didn’t speak, his fist clenched tighter.

Jiang Li turned to the dean.

"Teacher, please tell me, who threw the first punch?"

The dean glanced at the students present and coughed, "According to them, it was Jiang Cheng who threw the first punch."

"Apologize," Jiang Li said directly.

The beaten boy stopped crying for a moment and stared blankly at the astonishingly beautiful woman sitting on the couch.

This was Jiang Cheng’s sister?

She wants him to apologize and he just has to apologize?

Why should he?

Why should the child of a mistress have the right to demand his apology?

However, before he could voice his indignation, Jiang Cheng beside him quietly muttered, "I’m sorry."

Beaten classmate: ?

He could hardly believe what he had heard.

Jiang Cheng, who was privately defiant to everyone, had actually apologized to him?

He’s a bastard, isn’t he?

Why is he so obedient to what his sister says?

The male student felt bewildered and smug, thinking the beating he received today was worth it.

But the next second, Jiang Li was standing in front of him.

Looking into those deep, dark eyes, the boy’s heart shuddered, sensing something bad was about to happen.

"You’re Sha Shaohong, right?"

Sha Shaohong nodded uncontrollably.

Jiang Li’s gaze continued to fix on him.

"Your father is in the antique auction business, right? Your mother used to be a flight attendant and now works in your father’s company. Your family is quite well-off, but the atmosphere isn’t great. Your parents fight a lot, making the whole house uneasy, which is why you chose to live at school and hardly go home more than once every six months, right?"

Sha Shaohong was petrified.

The beautiful sister looked gentle and soft, yet she had privately figured him out so thoroughly?!

He couldn’t nod or shake his head but could only stand there in a daze.

Jiang Li’s words continued—

"If I’m not wrong about your facial features, your parents have a flourishing romantic life. Both sides are not exactly faithful people, which you should have realized a long time ago but have been unwilling to accept. And what’s more, your father’s original partner is probably not your mother. Your mother got pregnant before marriage...."

Jiang Li casually dropped such a bombshell piece of gossip, causing the office to fall silent instantly.

The other students stopped talking and all turned to look with wide eyes.

Sha Shaohong was acutely aware of the humiliation and instinctively wanted to push the woman in front of him away, but his hand was caught by Ji Yanbai who was beside him.

His eyes turned red, and he began to yell.

"You crazy woman! What right do you have to slander me?! I do not, my mother is not the other woman! My family is doing just fine!"

Jiang Li stood up straight with a sneer, "So you know it doesn’t feel good to have your family scandal exposed to the public. Why do you still do it then?"

Sha Shaohong and Jiang Cheng were both taken aback.

Jiang Cheng looked at her incredulously.

So Jiang Li was doing this for him....

Sha Shaohong’s face turned the color of a pig’s liver, from anger or shame, it was unclear.

"You’d better apologize to Jiang Cheng, or I can assure you that the words I just said will be known by the whole school."

The deputy director furrowed his brows and was about to step forward but was pulled back by the principal.

The deputy director didn’t understand, "Principal, it’s not good for her to threaten students like this, is it?"

The principal said, "Do you want to go over there and make things worse? We’re a third party. These matters are difficult to handle to begin with. Since the girl seems to have a plan, as long as it’s not too excessive, let’s just watch her deal with it."

The deputy director fell silent then.

Seeing that Jiang Li wasn’t joking and considering her intimidating presence, Sha Shaohong had no choice but to sob and apologize to Jiang Cheng.

Since his parents couldn’t show up, the fight eventually had to be settled privately.

But the responsibility had to be taken. Afterward, Jiang Li handed Sha Shaohong over to Ji Yanbai to take to the hospital while she left the school gate silently with Jiang Cheng.

Once inside the car, Jiang Cheng’s hands were still shaking.

"Sister...."

"I don’t blame you," Jiang Li started the car, "Everyone has impulsive moments."

But Jiang Li’s calmness only made Jiang Cheng even more distressed, and he lowered his head even more.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t want it to be like this either, I didn’t know... I didn’t know... I know she hurt all of you, and if it’s redemption you want, I’m willing to take whatever you throw at me."

Two large tears fell onto the car seat as his body shook.

Jiang Li saw this scene in the rearview mirror, and her hand on the car key paused.

"Let’s go home first."

With those words, she started the car.

Soon, the white sedan stopped in front of the Jiang Mansion.

Seeing the two people get out of the car one after the other, Jiang Ye was extremely surprised.

"Miss Jiang, weren’t you taking the young master to school? Why are you back so soon?"

"Something came up."

Before she could finish her sentence, Wen Jiaojiao’s call came through.

"Lili, hurry up and look at the trending searches, what’s going on? Jiang Cheng... turns out he’s not your biological brother?"

Jiang Li frowned and opened her phone, only to see the last thing she wanted to see in the trending searches—

#Shocking revelation! An adorable puppy from a variety show turns out to be an illegitimate child of a wealthy family!#

The person who leaked the information was a blogger known for digging up various stories in the entertainment industry, providing evidence with near certainty, almost explicitly naming Jiang Cheng.
