Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 727: Can’t Keep Up with the Twists Anymore

Jiang Li only posted one picture, but it shut up those haters.

But it also successfully whetted the appetite of the onlookers.

"No, seriously, what’s the situation? Can you give an explanation?"

"Sister, Sister Li, you’re my one and only sister, what’s the real story here?"

"The blogger next door who used to trash talk about the dark secrets of wealthy families has quit. He says he can’t keep up with the plot twists."

It was only then, on the internet, that Lin Manru, using the Jinli Studio avatar, came forward to speak.

"I’m very sorry for occupying public resources. This matter was originally a private family affair of the Jiang Family, which we didn’t want to make known to everyone. Unfortunately, some malicious people took advantage of the situation and hurt my family members. To end this farce as soon as possible, I’ve decided to come out and explain the situation to everyone."

"Chengcheng’s biological mother was an employee of my husband, with a very pitiable background. Not long after she got pregnant with Chengcheng, she fell ill and is still in the hospital receiving treatment. My husband and I couldn’t bear to see the child left alone outside, so we privately adopted him, never expecting that it would be rumored to be an illegitimate child."

"Chengcheng is a good child, without any relatives. He shouldn’t have to suffer this kind of public scrutiny. Although I am not his biological mother, I have long regarded him as my own. He has a good life with the Jiang Family and is very sensible. His brothers and sisters also like him a lot; there’s no truth to those online speculations."

"Please, everyone, stop focusing on this subject and give the child some space. Let him grow up happy and healthy."

Lin Manru’s sincere and heartfelt statement immediately became the hot topic of the day, bringing many netizens to tears.

A discussion that was originally popular only among young internet users suddenly penetrated the hearts of middle-aged women.

"Oh my god, so that’s how it is. The Jiang couple are really too wonderful."

"Of course, only such wonderful parents could have raised my amazing Sister Li."

"Wuwuwu, little brother Chengcheng is so pitiful. It must have been very difficult for him to become what he is now."

"This is too much, who said Jiang Cheng was an illegitimate child? This is totally at the level of fabricating rumors!"

The original poster’s account had long been served a lawyer’s notice and taken down.

And due to this incident, Lin Manru’s studio received another wave of attention, with pre-orders backed up until after the new year.

However, the next morning, Lin Manru was shocked to find that the Weibo post she had made had disappeared, and even the related entries had vanished without a trace.

No matter what search terms she used, all that came up was a blank page.

Lin Manru, with her phone in hand, rushed flustered into Jiang Li’s room.

"Lili, what’s going on? Why did my Weibo post vanish?"

Jiang Li, sitting by the window holding a book, was not surprised when he heard this.

"It was to be expected, probably their doing."

Lin Manru paused, then came to a realization.

"They still found out, do you think they will do anything to us?"

"Mom, don’t worry," Jiang Li put down his book, "The posts you made were carefully edited. They subtly disclosed Jiang Cheng’s background without implicating them at all. Now the netizens’ focus is on Jiang Cheng and you, without considering that direction at all."

"It’s normal for them to remove the trending search too. After all, if this matter fermented for too long, it might expose something else. But removing the trend is enough. If Mr. Rong dares to do more, I’m afraid Old Sir Rong will notice, and then the trouble will be even greater. Would he dare?"

The trending topic was meant to address Jiang Cheng’s issue, but it was also a lesson to that person.

To let him know that his life was still in the hands of the Jiang Family, and if he dared to act out of line, they were not afraid to go down with him.

The Jiang Family power was small; at worst, they would just go bankrupt and return to their rural hometown.

But would the Rong Family, such a large clan, be willing to let such a scandal destroy them?

Lin Manru also realized this and immediately sighed with relief.

"That’s good, that’s good. And Chengcheng..."

"I’ve already sent him back to school," Jiang Li said. "After all, he has a test tomorrow. He’s missed nearly an entire semester of classes; we can’t delay any further."

...

One early morning, Jiang Cheng appeared in the classroom.

Everyone pretty much knew about his situation, but what nobody expected was that he would return so quickly and act as if nothing had happened.

In no time, all of class three’s morning reading was replaced by whispers.

"Wow, Jiang Cheng really has guts to come back so soon."

"I thought he would take a leave of absence."

"Being an adopted child isn’t really a big deal, right? He’s pretty pitiful."

"Yeah, and don’t you guys think Jiang is really handsome? Plus, his grades are great, and his brother and sister are big celebrities. I would be thrilled!"

"When I saw the trending search, I almost clenched my teeth to pieces, he’s actually Jiang Li’s little brother, such luck!"

Jiang Cheng acted as if he didn’t hear any of these voices, sitting down at his own desk with a blank expression, and started reading aloud from the textbook.

As soon as the class bell rang, everyone swarmed around his desk.

They used to keep their distance from Jiang Cheng, the Demon King, hardly daring to come near him, but now it was different.

His sister is Jiang Li!

That Jiang Li who won five hundred million on Wilderness Survival!

"Jiang, could you, could you ask your sister for her autograph for me?"

"Jiang Cheng, I want your brother’s."

"Do you have a photo of your sister? Will you sell it? I’ll buy it no matter the cost!"

On the surface, Jiang Cheng preserved his cool demeanor, but deep down he was bursting with joy.

Indeed, everyone envied him for having such a wonderful sister!

So, he collected all the items from the students who wanted Jiang Li’s signature.

"I’ll ask my sister when I go back."

He emphasized the word "sister" as if it was a great honor.

"What about your brother?"

"Jiang Yan?" Jiang Cheng snorted through his nose, "I’m not close to him, after all, he’s not my real brother."

Hearing this, a Jiang Yan fan turned away in anger and fiercely tossed a photo of Jiang Yan onto the ground.

"I knew being his fan was pointless, he’s got good looks but even his brotherly relationship is a mess!"

Sitting at the back, Sha Shaohong watched this scene indignantly, and eventually, albeit reluctantly, he made his way over, raising his arm.

He was the second scourge of the class, next to Jiang Cheng, and as he approached, the others quickly dispersed.

Sha Shaohong placed a box of expensive skincare on the desk.

"Hey, this is for your sister from my mom."

Jiang Cheng looked up briefly at him before turning his gaze away.

"My sister has good skin; she doesn’t need skincare products."

Sha Shaohong’s face darkened for a moment, and he said through gritted teeth, "Can you just do me a favor? My mom said if I can’t give this to your sister, I don’t get to go home today. She’s going to order clothes from Jinli Studio in a few days and doesn’t want to get blacklisted by your sister."

A slight smile curved on Jiang Cheng’s lips.

"Okay, then I’ll reluctantly accept it."

Seeing this, Sha Shaohong’s fists clenched in his pockets, but he couldn’t say anything. He just held his breath and turned to leave.

Jiang Cheng’s big sister was not someone to be trifled with.

It was best for him to stay as far away as possible!
