Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 762: Your Son is Even Worse than a Mountain Pig!
Chapter 762: Chapter 762: Your Son is Even Worse than a Mountain Pig!
Xie Zhenjie looked quite decent.
The suit was immaculate, and he was very dashing.
Logically, Lin Manru should have liked him.
But he should never have set his sights on her precious daughter.
Her daughter was only 19—how could she be deceived by some lousy man!
Right then, Lin Manru’s face darkened, and she didn’t even shake hands.
"Lady Xie, no need. Your son must be at least twenty-five or six. My daughter is still young. Next year, she’s preparing for the college entrance exam, so she doesn’t have time to worry about these things."
Jiang Li had been emotionally steady until then, but on hearing Lin Manru’s words, she looked at her in surprise.
Who could have thought that Lin Manru, who just a second ago couldn’t bear to refuse some distant relatives scrounging for a meal, would the next moment block them assertively.
She was quite an interesting mother.
Xie Zhenjie’s hand froze midair, and Lady Xie’s face dropped.
But she still kept a smile on her face, saying, "Let the kids get to know each other a little, we adults can’t decide for the kids."
Lin Manru, who had been somewhat polite up until then, now lost her patience.
The Xie Family looked decent, but why couldn’t they understand plain language?
Still suggesting the kids should get to know each other.
Their family man definitely didn’t seem like good news; she’d feel disgusted even if he just glanced at her daughter.
Right away, Lin Manru coldly said, "I can still make decisions about these children’s matters. You might want to look elsewhere. Our Lili is too good of a match."
Saying this, she grabbed Jiang Li and made to leave.
A scoff came from behind them.
"It’s not that she’s too good of a match, it’s that you despise us, right? Mrs. Jiang, you don’t seriously consider having the Gu Family’s Crown Prince as your son-in-law?"
"What Crown Prince of the Gu Family?" Lin Manru turned around.
Lady Xie crossed her arms, no longer polite.
"Naturally, I mean Gu Yu, the Crown Prince of the wealthiest Gu Family. Didn’t you know? Your daughter is close with him. But I’d advise you not to dream unrealistic dreams that could cut off your future, even though the Jiang Family is rising well."
Lin Manru was infuriated.
Immediately forgetting her manners, she pointed at Lady Xie’s nose and started to yell.
"Who are you to meddle in my daughter’s business? Your son is so old and still has no girlfriend; there must be something wrong with him. Even if my Lili went to the mountains to become a nun, she wouldn’t spare a glance at your son!"
Lady Xie, surprised by Lin Manru’s usually gentle temper, was rooted to the spot in shock.
After recovering, she started to yell back.
"You dare curse my son? Pah, clearly, your daughter can’t appreciate what’s good, just wanting to fly high and become a phoenix!"
"My daughter is already a phoenix; your son is not even worth a hill pig!"
"How dare you say that about my son?!"
Jiang Li: "....."
Is this the fighting skill of middle-aged women?
Should she be happy or happy about it?
Luckily, the room was filled with Jiang Family relatives, so it didn’t become too big of a scene.
Jiang Yan and Jiang Cheng heard the noise and immediately came to join Lin Manru’s side.
Jiang Yan was more vigorous, picking up a wine glass and pointing at the Xie Family, declaring, "Anyone who dares to mess with my sister today, I will make sure his family holds a funeral tomorrow!"
This time, Lin Manru didn’t scold Jiang Yan; she even added "Exactly."
Jiang Li couldn’t bear to watch.
The carefully arranged meeting still had its hiccup.
However, luckily the Xie Family dared not cause trouble and, after being frightened by Jiang Yan, they left with their tails between their legs.
It was good that they made a scene; since the Xie Family left, no one dared to pry into her marital matters anymore.
But Jiang Li was still quite puzzled.
How had the Xie Family found out about her and Gu Yu?
The Gu Family dominated, and even if there were any public opinions or scandals online, they wouldn’t blow up too much.
Moreover, almost all media companies were wary of them and dared not fabricate such stories.
Other families in the Capital were even more so.
The guests at today’s banquet did not discuss the Gu Family at all; where did the Xie Family get their confidence?
Soon, the birthday banquet organized by the Jiang Family made a huge splash and went viral.
Jiang Li had controlled the news early, and with Shen Lan’s operation behind the scenes, hardly any paparazzi dared to come take pictures.
A large part of the leak was from banquet attendees posting on social media.
Almost everyone posted a message.
Dozens of social media updates flowed out.
The circle of the wealthy is inherently large; thus one share led to ten, then a hundred, and it directly went viral.
[Wow, is the Jiang Family really that impressive? A birthday banquet attracting so many big shots?]
[Having seen Jiang Group’s financial report this year, they can already squeeze into the top 500. Really impressive, Jiang Li is definitely a privileged heiress.]
[Did Jiang Li arrange all this herself? Looks great, well-coordinated.]
[I heard their courtyard is even warmer than inside the house; I really want to check it out.]
[Hahaha, I’m at the event, Jiang Li is incredibly beautiful and gentle, from the dishes to the desserts—everything tastes amazing. Love it.]
[Curious, did our Crown Prince attend such a grand banquet?]
[Well, the Gu Family is another level, how could they possibly attend a banquet like the Jiang Family’s?]
It wasn’t long before the related topics reached over a million discussions.
Su Yinwan saw the trending topic just as she came out from the recording studio.
She entered the dressing room and saw the red invitation left on the table by her manager.
—Jiang Li had sent one to her too.
Although she didn’t know why she was invited, given the magnitude of their family’s banquet, it wouldn’t hurt to go.
Moreover, it would be convenient for her to handle some matters.
Because Daoist Xu Mei had just messaged her about discovering an even better and more powerful offering.
Lately, depending on the energy from those people, her fortune had been unbelievably good.
After all, everyone in the book was an NPC; they were all there to serve her, the protagonist.
With that in mind, Su Yinwan changed into a gorgeous gown and prepared to head to the Jiang Family.
With Xiao Xueyi no longer in the dressing room, the next second, a message popped up on her phone from her.
Xiao Xueyi: [I went to a meeting on the 10th floor. You are going to the Jiang Family later, right? I can’t join you this time; the previous driver took leave too. I’ve found someone else for you; he should arrive soon and can take you there.]
Su Yinwan was about to reply when the dressing room door was knocked, and a modestly dressed middle-aged man entered.
"Mr. Su, right? Ms. Xiao arranged for me to be your driver, you can call me Old Yu."
Su Yinwan casually grabbed her bag, "Mm," and pushed open the door to head to the underground parking lot.
Throughout the journey, she was scrolling through Weibo reading all the comments about Jiang Li— ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Without exception, they were all praise.
Su Yinwan felt frustrated.
Why was this disposable character’s reputation getting better and better?
