Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 766: Young Master Gu, Please Come Inside!

"Young Master Gu!"

Rong Kexi instantly put down her phone and rushed out of the car.

In front of Gu Yu, she became much more reserved, her brashness subsiding into tranquility.

Zhao Lang clearly hadn’t expected her to be there, frowning slightly.

"Why are you here?"

Rong Kexi replied composedly, "Of course, I’m here to attend the banquet. What about you, Young Master Gu?"

After asking this question, a frightening thought flashed through her mind.

Could Gu Yu be here for Jiang Li?

He was actually seeking out Jiang Li at such an event?!

The people around were also astonishingly surprised.

They had thought Second Miss Rong’s appearance was remarkable enough.

Yet, here was Young Master Gu from the Gu Family.

What was so extraordinary about the Jiang Family?

"So this is the legendary Young Master Gu of the Gu Family, so young."

"He really resembles his father when he was young, no wonder the old man has kept him hidden for so long."

"Gu Yu is really here, could it be true that he’s involved with that girl from the Jiang Family?"

"This... wasn’t it said he was considering a marriage arrangement with the Rong Family? This is quite exhilarating."

"Wasn’t Young Master Gu quite low-key before? He only ever drove a Mercedes when going out, why is he making such a grand entrance today?"

Soon, the commotion also spread inside the villa.

Jiang Li had originally planned to have Wen Jiaojiao and the others stay for dinner.

But just as she had finished setting up the dining room, she saw Wen Jiaojiao and Bai Lu rushing in arm in arm.

The two exclaimed in unison, "Damn, Jiang Li, guess who just showed up outside?!"

Jiang Li: ?

"Hasn’t Rong Kexi left yet?"

"It’s not Rong Kexi!" both of them said together.

Yu Li, who was helping collect wine bottles, joked, "It wouldn’t be Gu Yu, would it?"

The two were shocked again, "Damn, how did you know?"

It was hard for Yu Li not to know.

Because just moments ago, his sister had called him crying, saying that Mr. Gu had personally taken away her invitation.

Whom it was given to, the answer was already very clear.

Yu Li looked at Jiang Li with a hint of amusement, "You really didn’t send him an invitation?"

Jiang Li: "Uh, guess why I didn’t?"

She did it to avoid the current situation!

And now, avoidance was impossible.

Jiang Li put down her plate, "I should still go have a look."

If she left those two at the door any longer, the police would likely be alerted soon.

Sure enough, when Jiang Li went out, she found the crowd at the main gate had doubled in size since just before.

It had become completely impassable.

Centered in the midst of them were naturally Gu Yu and Rong Kexi.

Jiang Li stood on the steps and observed the two.

In terms of background and suitability, they were indeed a match made in heaven.

However, she had calculated their Four Pillars of Destiny, one bearing the element of water, the other of fire, mutually nurturing and restraining, water and fire incompatible.

Every encounter was bound to bring harm to the innocent.

And she was that innocent.

Zhao Lang’s expression was terrible.

Rong Kexi had clung to him like a stubborn plaster.

It wasn’t until he saw Jiang Li standing not far away that he hurriedly raised his hand, "Lili, it’s me!"

Jiang Li closed her eyes briefly and, upon opening them again, reverted to her sociable smile, walking straight to the front gate.

"If the two of you like my home so much, why not both come in?"

"I can come in, but she need not bother," Zhao Lang said, nodding toward Rong Kexi.

"Why not?!" Rong Kexi stomped her foot in displeasure, "Do you dislike seeing me that much?"

Zhao Lang nodded, not even wanting to speak anymore.

Rong Kexi was deeply hurt.

Looking at Jiang Li standing next to her, she grew even angrier.

So it was all true.

The person outside the booth that day really was Jiang Li!

But why her?!

Rong Kexi was just about to continue making a scene when her phone in her bag rang.

Initially, she wanted to throw the phone back into her bag, but after she saw the caller ID, she felt compelled to answer.

"Dad...."

"Have you caused enough trouble? Come back home now!"

"But Dad, I...." Rong Kexi glanced in Zhao Lang’s direction, obviously reluctant to leave.

"You have half an hour."

The call was mercilessly hung up, and Rong Kexi panicked for a moment.

Reluctant, she glanced at Jiang Li and then at Zhao Lang before finally stomping her foot and leaving.

Jiang Li then turned to Zhao Lang and made a "please" gesture.

"Mr. Gu, you too, please."

Zhao Lang: ?

"I should leave too?"

Jiang Li calmly said, "I don’t believe I sent you an invitation, did I?"

However, Zhao Lang just smiled and pulled out a red invitation from his pocket, "But that doesn’t mean I don’t have one. I’ve come all this way, isn’t Miss Jiang going to invite me to sit inside?"

"The old man even asked me to bring a gift for your grandfather, I surely can’t just bring it back untouched."

Hearing "gift," Jiang Li’s eyes lit up.

How bad could a gift from Gu Shengrong, the richest man in the Capital, be? It might be enough to buy a villa in the Capital on its own.

Thinking thus, Jiang Li smiled knowingly and changed her hand gesture.

"Young Master Gu, please come in."

As she stood up, she saw the car Zhao Lang had driven as well as the glaring four nines on the license plate, and she raised an eyebrow.

So the license plate had ended up in his hands.

No wonder Miss Rong only managed to get the 8899 license plate.

These people really do indulge in their elegant hobbies.

Zhao Lang cheerfully followed behind Jiang Li.

Then, he took out a small red box.

"A gift."

Jiang Li didn’t even think before taking it. Upon opening it, she found a yellow jade ring with excellent quality, color, and water. The band was made of pure gold, which looked both extravagant and dignified.

It must be worth at least a few million.

Jiang Li’s smile grew wider.

Had she known, she would have sent him an invitation.

"Oh, by the way," she casually mentioned, "I sent an invitation to Assistant He too. Why haven’t I seen him here?"

Upon hearing this, the smile in Zhao Lang’s eyes vanished, and his tone became a bit harsher.

"You mean Assistant He? He’s still busy with that Dragon Ridge Island project, he won’t be back for three to five years."

"That long?"

"Yes, that long!" Zhao Lang nodded repeatedly.

By the time He Pingzhang, that sly old fox, comes back, he’ll be almost fifty.

He was sure to completely eradicate any thoughts Jiang Li had of him.

"It’s getting late, let’s go in. I’m quite hungry after the journey," Zhao Lang said, hurrying Jiang Li into the restaurant.

Thinking he was finally going to have a moment alone with her, he was stunned the moment he stepped into the restaurant.

To his surprise, the long table in the restaurant was filled with people, all familiar faces.

As he walked in, each of them looked at him with varying expressions, making polite conversation.

"Long time no see."

Zhao Lang couldn’t force a smile.

Jiang Li walked straight to one end of the long table and sat down.

"Aren’t you hungry? Come, sit down."

Zhao Lang scanned the room and found the seats next to Jiang Li had already been taken.

Close at hand were Jiang Yan and Jiang Cheng, followed by Wen Jiaojiao and Bai Lu.
