Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Madam, the eldest young master has been missing for over half a month

Mrs. Qiao was still annoyed at the attitude of this unknown girl when she heard what Lin Man Ru said, and her expression inevitably changed. freewёbnoνel.com

She's actually Miss Jiang Li from the Jiang Family?!

But Jiang Li, whom she met before, always wore heavy makeup and had a fiery temper that didn't resemble the current delicate beauty with snow-like skin and an elegant demeanor, speaking in an organized manner.

Surprised as she was, she quickly straightened her back and continued sarcastically:

"Jiang Li, this is a matter between your mother and me. It's not your place to interfere. Go back to your room and mind your own business!"

Jiang Li smiled faintly and held back her mother, who was about to speak.

"Mrs. Qiao, that is where you are wrong."

"Though I am younger, I am still the legitimate eldest daughter of the Jiang Family. My father passed away early, so naturally, the responsibilities of this house also fall onto my shoulders. Now that outsiders have set their sights on our home, I, as a member of the Jiang Family, cannot sit idly by."

"I believe the principle of 'shared fortune and misfortune' is clearer to everyone here than to a junior like me?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

At the same time, they were also shocked by the change in Jiang Li.

Her reputation as the eldest daughter was well known; she had been causing trouble for the Jiang Family since middle school, dropping out of high school to hang out with questionable people.

Eventually, Old Sir Jiang forced her to attend a low-ranked university, which quieted things down for a while.

Recently, during Old Sir Jiang's return to his hometown for ancestral rites, she became uncontrollable, even targeting a young man from the merchant family.

Clinging desperately in various situations, she even threatened to run away from home, nearly ruining the reputation of the entire Jiang Family in the Capital.

Unexpectedly, today she had completely changed her usual behavior; not only was she dressed appropriately and looked stunning, but she was even starting to consider her family's interests.

This made Mrs. Qiao seem to lack the dignity expected of an elder.

"Right, Mrs. Qiao, why are you having a dispute with a junior? After all, she's the eldest daughter of the Jiang Family; protecting her own mother is justified, isn't it?"

"Yeah, and you came straight in asking for shares. Shares of Jiang Group are extremely difficult to secure in the market. Your actions do seem a bit over the line."

"Miss Jiang is right, as a member of the Jiang Family, she naturally has to consider the Jiang Family's interests."

"..."

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Mrs. Qiao's face turned pale, and then she hugged her daughter and pretended to be pitiful.

"So what should I do? My daughter has already suffered enough in this marriage. You all know what kind of person Jiang Yan is; a Casanova. My daughter has endured so much mockery and sorrow just to participate in this engagement party, and then she was stood up."

"If so, let this marriage be annulled." Jiang Li said.

"What?!" Both families were shocked.

Jiang Li's casual remark had stirred up a great commotion, causing even Lin Man Ru to hurriedly intervene:

"Lili, we cannot call off this marriage; it was arranged by your grandfather. You know your brother's temperament; Miss Qiao is a good match after all."

Beside them, Mrs. Qin was frantic, pulling on Jiang Li and trying to persuade Lin Manru.

"Madam, the eldest young master has been missing for half a month already, and we haven't been able to find him; if you call off the engagement now, what will you do if Old Sir Jiang comes back and blames you?"

Mrs. Qiao's ears perked up upon hearing this, and she jumped up shouting, "Ah, so I knew it! You were persistently targeting my Shuangshuang; it turns out Jiang Yan had disappeared!"

"Heh, the groom had long disappeared, and you didn't notify us but instead deliberately deceived so many people into coming to the engagement banquet. Is this how your Jiang family conducts business?!"

At this point, the guests also turned their accusation toward the Jiang family, criticizing their immorality.

Lin Manru was so anxious her eyes turned red, but facing so many agitated people, she didn't know how to handle it.

Jiang Li then slowly approached Mrs. Qiao, her expression calm as she looked at her and spoke unhurriedly, "Jiang Yan hasn't disappeared."

Mrs. Qiao laughed out of irritation, "Not disappeared? Everyone knows that Jiang Yan is nothing but a troublemaker, always out and about in frivolities, and it's only a matter of time before he disappears because of all the trouble he's caused!"

"What if I bring him back, what then?"

Mrs. Qiao didn't believe it. In their circle, disappearance meant either being kidnapped or dealt with by enemies in secret.

Moreover, Jiang Yan hadn't appeared in public for a long time, and it was probable that the worst had happened.

The Jiang family had been unable to find him for more than half a month; how could she, a mere girl, find him within a day?

Besides, it was well known that the siblings were not on good terms.

So without a second thought, she blurted out a fierce challenge, "Fine, if you can find Jiang Yan today, I will agree to the annulment unconditionally!"
