Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 732: Sister Xiao Wan, I Don’t Understand

Bai Lu, eavesdropping in the corner, marveled at Jiang Cheng’s badassery.

Just a second ago, he was coldly interrogating her.

The next, he was pretending to be a guileless damsel in front of Su Yinwan to deceive her into trust.

This actor role was definitely made for him!

Facing Jiang Cheng’s questioning, Su Yinwan’s gaze wavered slightly.

"I..."

She quickly thought about what to say.

"I, I was just thinking that the New Year is coming, and I haven’t visited Aunt Xu for a long time, so I came to see her."

Jiang Cheng sneered inside.

Coming to see Xu Ning at this time.

She definitely had something to do with the stuff online!

Jiang Cheng continued to lead Su Yinwan on without changing his expression.

"Sister Xiao Wan, did you also see the news online?" he said sadly, "Now that everyone knows my identity, no one will want to be friends with me."

"Why would that be?" Su Yinwan hurriedly comforted him, "Chengcheng, you’re so outstanding, how could you not have friends? I’m still here, aren’t I?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng appear so crestfallen, Su Yinwan felt rather smug.

This meant his relationship with Jiang Li wasn’t as good as it seemed.

Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity for her to step in?!

That Array for turning luck was really effective!

She had been worried about how to throw mud on Jiang Li, and now, the opportunity had presented itself.

Sure enough, Jiang Cheng’s next words hit the nail on the head.

"Sister Xiao Wan, I don’t understand who could have put those things online. Not many people know about my background, except for the headmistress, the Jiang Family, and you. The headmistress doesn’t understand entertainment industry affairs, and this matter doesn’t affect her interests, so it couldn’t have been her doing."

"Yes," Su Yinwan narrowed her eyes, "Chengcheng, I’ve watched you grow up. Sister Xiao Wan would certainly never harm you, so that leaves only..."

Jiang Cheng’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Sister Su, are you saying... how could that be possible?!"

"Why couldn’t it be?" Su Yinwan pressed his shoulder, "Do you remember what I told you? ’Know the face but not the heart.’ You’ve also said that the Jiang Family has been unkind to you, especially that Jiang Yan and Jiang Li. I also read it online where people said—"

"Said what?"

"Said it’s possible that someone from their side didn’t want you to inherit from the Jiang Family, so they resorted to such despicable measures..."

Jiang Cheng’s expression stiffened, showing great anguish.

"How could this happen..."

"Chengcheng." Su Yinwan sighed, "I know you’re still young and shouldn’t have to deal with these things, but you have to face them. However—"

Su Yinwan’s tone shifted, finally steering the conversation toward the topic she wanted to discuss.

"Didn’t Jiang Li reveal the DNA evidence between you and Grandpa Jiang? What actually happened back then? How could you... not be a child of the Jiang Family?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head, his face pale.

"I don’t know, I really don’t know what happened. I’ve been preparing for exams at school these days."

Su Yinwan felt disappointed.

Even Jiang Cheng himself didn’t know?

"What about Aunt Xu?" Su Yinwan continued to probe, "Your mom must know, why don’t you ask her?"

Jiang Cheng turned his head away, resisting.

"I won’t talk to her, and I don’t want to know my real identity. I’m happy with my life now."

"How can you do that?" Su Yinwan quickly turned to face him, "You’re an adult now, how can you not be clear about your true identity? Living in confusion is not an option."

"But Sister Yin Wan, I’m tired." Jiang Cheng looked at her pitifully, then suddenly grasped her hand, "Sister Xiao Wan, can you help me? Aren’t you the one who cares for me the most? You can help me find my biological father, right?"

"That suits me perfectly," said Su Yinwan. She slapped her chest and said, "Of course, leave it to me. It’s just... your mom is in a special situation right now, and the director won’t let me get close to her."

"That’s easy to handle," Jiang Cheng said. "Once this is settled, I’ll come over and arrange for Sister Su to see her. The director won’t stop me from visiting her."

"Good, it’s a deal."

Jiang Cheng talked with Su Yinwan for a bit longer before he sent her away.

Watching her figure gradually disappear into the courtyard, the smile on Jiang Cheng’s face also vanished abruptly.

He plunged his hands into his pockets and strode over to a corner.

Bai Lu felt an imposing figure loom over her, and then she heard a chilly male voice.

"Give it to me."

Startled, she instinctively handed over the recorder pen she was holding.

Seeing Jiang Cheng turn to leave, she hurriedly followed, uneasy.

"Jiang Cheng, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Cheng stopped, "That’s none of your business."

"How can it be none of my business? You let me hear so much, can I pretend I heard nothing?" Bai Lu stepped forward and said, "Didn’t you hear Su Yinwan scheming against your mother? And you are still actively facilitating this?"

Although Bai Lu didn’t know the full story, she could guess a thing or two from the online public opinion and what she had heard in the last few days.

Jiang Cheng’s identity might not be as simple as it seemed.

And his mother was the breakthrough point.

Su Yinwan was so eager to find out about his origins, she must be expecting some benefit from it.

How could she sit back and ignore such a dangerous situation?

Jiang Cheng said coldly, "You can rest assured about this. What I’m doing is for my sister, to protect her."

He said this with certainty because he knew Su Yinwan had no chance of getting close to Xu Ning.

So much had happened recently that Jiang Li had long planned to move Xu Ning elsewhere, an address even he hadn’t been told.

It was even less likely for others to know.

But he could use this to his advantage and "borrow a knife to kill".

As Jiang Cheng turned away, his eyes grew colder. "Don’t tell Jiang Li about this, otherwise I can’t protect you."

Bai Lu felt a sudden panic.

On the island, the youth before her still had a bit of childlike air.

But now, he seemed to have suddenly matured, exuding the restraint and worldliness of an adult.

Bai Lu involuntarily swallowed, "But what if Lili asks? I can’t lie to her."

"That’s easy."

Jiang Cheng pocketed the recorder pen.

"I’ll have someone send you back right now. Just act like you were never here. And as for Su Yinwan, she probably doesn’t know you exist. Keep an eye on her these next few days and report any developments to me."

Bai Lu nodded her head like a pecking chicken until she got on the car arranged by Jiang Cheng. Only then did reality hit her.

No.

Why was she listening to a bratty kid’s orders?!

By the time Jiang Li and his group got home, it was already past ten at night.

Jiang Yan had gone back to the set for filming. Lin Manru and Grandpa were already asleep.

The vast Jiang Family house was silent and peaceful.

Jiang Li also noticed the silence of Jiang Cheng on the way home and deliberately asked, "Nothing’s the matter, right?"

Jiang Cheng hurriedly shook his head, "Nothing at all."

"If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask me. Don’t keep it to yourself."
