Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 764: Has Someone from the Rong Family Arrived?!
Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Has Someone from the Rong Family Arrived?!
The banquet was nearing its end, and many guests had gradually left.
Jiang Li had prepared small gifts in the front hall early on, handing them one by one to the guests who attended the banquet.
Each tiny box contained an incense bag that had a soothing effect and a peace charm.
Although she had not imbued them with any spiritual power, the talisman paper could at least ensure the wearer’s safety and smoothness for seven days.
These guests were either rich or noble, and even the rarest gifts seldom elicited unusual expressions from them.
Yet, it was precisely such warm and unique small gifts that made them beam broadly, heaping praise on Jiang Li’s thoughtful gesture.
When it was Daoist Xu Mei’s turn, Jiang Li paused her hand movements, picked up a gift box from the end of the table, and handed it to him.
"Daoist, you’re welcome to visit often."
Daoist Xu Mei nodded slightly as a polite gesture and immediately opened the small box as he stepped out of the door.
Inside lay a small peace charm.
He pinched it with his finger, noticing several details in the runes were incorrectly drawn, let alone it having no effect whatsoever.
Daoist Xu Mei snickered.
Indeed, she was just an inexperienced young girl playing at being skilled.
Still, it could be of some use.
He casually tossed the yellow talisman paper into the trash can, flipped open his phone, and furrowed his brow.
What’s going on with Su Yinwan? Why is there still no movement?
Meanwhile, Jiang Li continued to distribute gifts, but a young maid hurried over, panting by her side:
"Miss, it’s not good, someone else has arrived."
Jiang Li was unconcerned, "So someone has come, why the panic? Aren’t the refreshments still being served? Just attend to them properly."
"But this person seems different," the maid pleaded, her face flushed with urgency, "You should come out and see."
Jiang Li put down what she was holding and followed the maid outside.
There were even more people outside the gate.
More than the guests who had come earlier.
Standing on the steps, Jiang Li immediately saw the striking red Maserati parked outside.
It was even a limited edition.
Glittering under the sunlight like diamond light.
Almost everyone outside was gathered around it.
Jiang Li also glanced sidelong at the car’s license plate—8899.
Equally eye-catching.
But with such a show of ostentation, why not go for 9999?
This also dispelled her guess. freёwebnoѵel.com
The visitor couldn’t be Su Yinwan.
She couldn’t afford such a flashy luxury car.
The maid by her side lowered her voice: "Miss, it’s that car parked outside, they say the person inside is quite formidable."
"I’ve been listening, and it seems like it might be... someone from the Rong Family?"
"Rong?"
Jiang Li’s gaze darkened.
Could it be such a coincidence?
"Miss... what do we do now?"
Though the maid didn’t know the specifics of the Rong Family’s affairs, the way people outside talked hinted that the visitor was no small figure.
Such a major figure arriving so late, and still lingering at the gate without entering, seemed quite ominous, didn’t it?
Soon, several people from inside the house came out.
Everyone had seemingly heard some rumors, and their expressions were grave.
Lin Manru was especially anxious, "The Rong Family? Could they be here to settle scores?"
Jiang Cheng stood outside, clenching his fists tightly.
If that were the case, he would definitely not let that man off!
Jiang Li finally spoke softly.
"They wouldn’t be so brazen. Mr. Rong is currently on the rise, and if he were to cause a scene here, he would surely be investigated. Not to mention whether the Rong Family knows about this, even if they do, they wouldn’t come knocking so directly. Furthermore..."
Furthermore, Mr. Rong is known for caring about his reputation, how would he drive such a high-profile car?
The patriarch also took a deep look at the people outside, "Alright, don’t make it so obvious. We’ll just pretend we know nothing, and treat them as usual."
"There’s no need to treat them," Jiang Li retracted her gaze, "We haven’t sent an invite to the Rong Family, why should we extend courtesies to uninvited guests?"
Everyone thought her point was very valid, and after nodding, they all turned together and went into the living room.
The people in the car, seeing that the Jiang Family had no intention of welcoming them and even shut the front door, were immediately furious.
"Such a small-time family, so impolite!"
The woman, holding her handbag, angrily stepped out of the car.
Immediately, two bodyguards surged forward, sticking close to her.
The surrounding people began to murmur among themselves.
"Is that really the Second Miss Rong? Why has she come?"
"The Jiang Family has connections with the Rong Family? How impressive!"
"I should have stayed inside for a bit longer; the Jiang Family didn’t mention that the Rong Family was coming."
"Miss Rong is going inside? Let’s follow her in then."
Rong Kexi, stepping in high heels and adjusting her sunglasses, walked forward.
As soon as she got out, she became the focus of the crowd.
The glamorous young women around her instantly paled in comparison.
Hearing the murmurs of the people around, Rong Kexi showed little expression and walked up to the front door by herself.
Unexpectedly, the door remained tightly shut, showing no sign of welcoming her.
Now really irritated, Rong Kexi took off her sunglasses and revealed a pair of enchanting and sharp eyes.
"Is this how you Jiang Family treat your guests?"
Jiang Ye walked forward with a smile, "Miss, sorry, but we’ve already closed the gathering. However, if you’re thirsty, you can come in for a cup of tea, just show your invitation."
Rong Kexi crossed her arms and scoffed, "Do you think I lack your cup of tea? Do you know who I am? Hurry up and open the door; I want to see Jiang Li!"
Seeing Rong Kexi’s tone, the people around immediately began to speculate wildly.
"This Second Miss Rong doesn’t seem to be here for the banquet; seems more like she’s here to settle scores."
"The Jiang Family can really stay calm; they aren’t even coming out."
"I had heard that the Second Miss Rong has a bad temper, it’s true indeed, so high-profile and flamboyant, nothing like her father."
"Could the Second Miss be here because of that incident? Are the rumors true?"
What Rong Kexi did not expect was that, despite her direct approach, she still hadn’t seen Jiang Li.
She had prepared everything in advance, but the encounter had started with a setback.
What a character, this Jiang Li!
Just as Rong Kexi’s patience was about to run out, Jiang Li finally made her belated appearance.
And Rong Kexi finally came face to face with this reputed lady of the Jiang Family.
She wore a light pink Cheongsam embroidered with silk and adorned with beads, casually draped with a white fox fur shawl over her shoulder.
Despite the simple and elegant attire, her every move exuded a distinguished and graceful aura.
Undoubtedly, she looked even better than she did on television, with a stronger charisma.
Even the deliberately dressed-up Rong Kexi seemed somewhat excessive by comparison.
Rong Kexi squinted her eyes, her face undisguisedly showing annoyance and displeasure.
