Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 740: Someone Who Can Live Through the Days

Fang Kai sprang to life when he heard this, immediately setting his mobile phone down and leaping off the couch. He patted his chest confidently, "Don’t worry, bro. Just one phone call, and I can muster a dozen people; leave it all to me!"

Saying this, he turned and went to the balcony to make a call.

Fang Wenzhe composed himself, glanced at the door behind him, and stepped forward to open the main door.

The moment the door swung open, several burly men squeezed in and surrounded him.

Fang Wenzhe steadied his nerves, "What are you doing? Do you realize that this is illegal entry?!"

"Hey," Wen Jiaojiao quickly wagged her finger, "Attorney Fang, don’t think you’re the only one who knows the law. We’ve made it crystal clear, we’re just paying you a visit—and you were the one who opened the door for us. How could this possibly be illegal entry? Besides, we haven’t laid a finger on you. It’s just that it’s so cold out, and everyone is huddling together to keep warm, don’t you agree?"

Fang Kai, who had finished his call on the balcony, turned around and saw the living room flooded with people. And amid the crowd, he instantly recognized the striking figure of Jiang Li, which startled him.

Isn’t this the female celebrity who’s been all over the internet recently? The one who won five hundred million on the Deserted Island survival show! What is she doing here?

Fang Kai’s eyes darted around, sensing that he might go viral because of this incident. He quickly pulled out his phone, launched his video app—where he had tens of thousands of followers—and on a whim, started a live stream.

Jiang Li’s name was displayed on the live stream’s homepage, and in no time, news spread from one to many, soon attracting thousands of viewers into his stream.

[Holy shit, what’s this? Such a clickbait title, right?]

[??? Damn, it’s really Jiang Li!!! I thought the host was just luring viewers in!]

[What’s going on? Why is Jiang Li bringing a bunch of people to someone’s house in the middle of the night?]

Fang Kai discreetly typed a few lines in the barrage chat.

[Hello, everyone. I’m the host, Kevin. I’m currently at my brother and sister-in-law’s place. You all probably know my sister-in-law, the celebrity Shu Yan. I don’t know exactly what’s happening, but these people barged into our home without considering my sick sister-in-law and demanded that she repay the money.]

[NO WAY, Shu Yan?! Wait, I think I saw Wen Jiaojiao too!]

[Hey, isn’t that Qi? What’s going on?]

[Isn’t their relationship supposed to be good? How is it that they’re making such a fuss over 500,000?]

[I’ve always said, there’s nothing genuine in the entertainment industry, it’s all just scripts and public personas. Look for yourselves, see how they tear each other apart in private!]

[Heartbroken, variety show fans.]

[Damn, we get to watch such a sensational drama late at night. Host, move a bit forward and let’s hear some more!]

...

Gu Family.

Gu Yu, who had just returned home, also encountered disapproval from his family members.

In the front hall, where Old Madam Gu was having evening tea, upon seeing a head of silver-white hair flutter by, she placed her teacup on the table with dissatisfaction, huffing softly.

"You slick thing, you still remember to come home, huh? How many days has it been since you joined grandpa and grandma for a meal? Didn’t I tell you the Rong Family would be visiting today? Why didn’t you come home to greet our guests?"

Zhao Lang smiled and stepped inside.

"Good evening, grandma. Work has been too hectic these past few days. Once it settles down, I’ll take you out for something delicious."

Old Madam Gu narrowed her eyes, "Really busy with work? Don’t think I don’t know you went to meet that girl from the Jiang Family."

Even the Rong Family knew about the commotion he had caused at that Western restaurant last time.

How could she possibly be in the dark?

Zhao Lang glanced at Yu Fei beside him. Yu Fei immediately shook his head in denial.

Heaven knew, he hadn’t said a word!

Zhao Lang calmly sat down on a nearby Eight Immortals chair, and a servant immediately came over with a fresh, hot cup of tea for him.

"Grandma," Zhao Lang held up the teacup and blew on it, "I’m already of age. Isn’t it normal to meet people?"

Gu Shengrong, seated at the head of the table, chimed in upon hearing this.

"That’s right, he’s grown-up enough, why are you still managing this for him?"

Old Madam Gu snorted at him and then turned her gaze back to Zhao Lang.

Grandchildren, although related by blood, haven’t been raised by their side since childhood, so it’s quite normal for them to be unruly.

But he’s been living in Leisure for twenty years, from now on he can’t be so capricious anymore.

Old Madam Gu then switched tactics with apparent helplessness, "Fine, fine, fine, both you and your grandson have taken a fancy to that Jiang girl, haven’t you? Then why not bring her over for me to see? Oh, right."

She lifted her head, "That girl is famous on the internet, isn’t she? Find a photo and let me have a look."

This wasn’t directed at Zhao Lang but at Yu Fei beside him.

Yu Fei glanced at Zhao Lang, and with no other option, reluctantly pulled out his phone and stepped forward.

"Old Madam, let me search for it."

As the words "Jiang Li" were typed into Weibo, a live broadcast room popped up.

Old Madam quickly pointed at it.

"Click on it, let me see."

"This...." Yu Fei desperately made eye signals at Zhao Lang.

Zhao Lang calmly said, "Just show it to the Old Madam."

Yu Fei nervously clicked into the live broadcast, and in an instant, the noisy sounds from the room filled Gu Family’s main hall.

Along with the cursing, there were also huge characters on the screen.

The Old Madam’s face instantly fell.

Gu Shengrong also curiously craned his neck over, and in an instant, his expression froze too.

Even Zhao Lang became curious.

"What’s wrong?" He stood up.

Old Madam huffed, standing up, "I thought this Miss Jiang from the Jiang Family was a dignified person, but I didn’t expect, hmph, she’s really from a poor family, so uneducated."

Compared to the second daughter of the Rong Family, it’s like heaven and earth!

Has Gu Yu been blinded by lard or has he grown too wild in the mountains, how could he fancy such a person?!

Having said that, she walked off with a straight face.

Hearing Old Madam talk about Jiang Li like that, Zhao Lang’s expression darkened as well, and he quickly snatched the phone away.

The moment he saw the screen, the corner of his eye twitched.

The large screen of the live broadcast was scrolling with this line of text—

[Shock! A Jiang surnamed star worth five hundred million actually blocked someone’s home in the middle of the night for five hundred thousand!]

[Shocking, the female star stood at the doorway of that home and cursed for a whole half-hour!]

And on the screen, the scene was of Jiang Li leading a tirade inside someone else’s house.

Zhao Lang: "....."

Beside him, Gu Shengrong took a deep breath.

"Grandson, what do you think?"

Zhao Lang pondered.

"She’s... quite unique, daring to go all out over five hundred thousand, she’s someone who can live well."

Yu Fei: "...."

Young Master, there’s really no need for such a heavy filter.

But then Gu Shengrong added—

"Indeed, I knew this girl could be of great use, capable in the hall and in society, the external debts of our family should be able to be collected."

Yu Fei: "....."

Finally, I realized who our young master takes after.
