Transmigrated into the Cannon Fodder's Daughter - Chapter 18.1

Editor: Aaghna

After Li Xiao handed the matter in Jiang Chao’s capable hands, she swung her sleeve and returned home to take inventory of her assets. These past few days, Li Nanjue, who had once seldom shown her fatherly love, transferred a part of the Li family and Xu Manqin’s assets to Li Xiao. On top of the company shares that were worth approximately 10 billion, she was given a large department store along with a residential building. With Xu Manqin’s share, Li Xiao became rich and was the living embodiment of ‘Ms. Perfect’.

Of course, the inheritance money belonged to the original owner, and she didn’t plan on messing with it. Xu Manqin’s portion could be given to her at the right time. But Ren Shaotang’s 1 billion was the current Li Xiao’s hard-earned money so she wasn’t afraid of lavishly spending it.

The Li family company’s 10% share didn’t entice Li Xiao, and she was prepared to find a good time to sell off her shares. The company was currently very powerful, and there were plenty of people willing to take advantage of the koi fortune. It wouldn’t be hard for her to sell off her stocks at a higher price.

On the other hand, Ren Shaotang was preparing to give her 1 billion.

When Ren Shaotang handed over the bank card, his face was cold, as if he couldn’t wait to slice Li Xiao into eight pieces.

Li Xiao used the machine to inspect how much money was on the card in front of Ren Shaotang’s face. She proceeded to transfer the money to her account. When Ren Shaotang saw her actions, he became upset. Was he the type of guy to take revenge because of a grudge?

With their similar levels of annoyance, Li Xiao was worthy of being called Xu Manqin’s daughter.

“Give me the recording pen.”

Li Xiao opened her bag in front of him. The designer bag was packed to the brim with recorders. She tossed all of the recording pens into the water and pondered, “I thought Uncle Ren had to sell a house in order to acquire the money. I didn’t think you’d be able to get it this fast. Did you borrow it from your friend?”

Ren Shaotang remembered Jiayin’s anxious face as she quietly gave him her savings. His handsome face softened at the memory of her and became tender.

Li Xiao’s expression turned ghastly as Ren Shaotang’s smile sent goosebumps up her arms and made her feel nauseated. She didn’t feel like needlessly arguing with him and returned home upon receiving the money. According to the time, those photos should have begun circulating on the internet.

On August 8th, there was a shocking development in the entertainment circle. Five of Ren Shaotang’s most devoted fans left the fandom together. The hot search, “Ren Shaotang’s Fans Leave Fandom”, clambered up the charts at an alarming rate.

“Shaotang’s Tangerine Candy” published a statement.

“I’ve liked Ren Shaotang for 12 years now. From my first year of junior high to my college graduation, the only thing that remained unchanged was my love for him. Every day, I gave him views and likes. Showing my support for him has become a huge part of my life. In my heart, he was a great man that could brighten my day, and he’d never let us, the fans, be disappointed. In the past few years, he’s never had a sex scandal. He was clean and pure, unlike many of his peers in the entertainment circle. He said she was married, and we believed him. He said Zhan Jiayin was his good friend and told us to support her, and we, yet again, believed him. Every time Zhan Jiayin got into trouble, the Tang Fandom fought on the frontlines for her. When her movies hit the theaters, we’d buy tickets and make sure the theaters were sold out. But are you two what they call good friends?”

“Do good friends hold hands? Do good friends drink from the same glass of water? If he likes a netizen, we could admit it. But, he likes a married woman and doesn’t even try to hide it. Before, I really liked him. But now, I loathe him.”

The other fans who left made similar statements. The pictures that came from the mail let onlookers eat up the drama. The comments section below the post was full of dancing demons.

【I still remember last year’s hot search: “Ren Shaotang and Zhan Jiayin are friends.” Tsk tsk tsk, that’s some good friend right there.】

【I told you so. A girl and a guy can’t just be friends. My girlfriend pinched my arm and now there’s a bruise. Ah, she’s a fan of Ren Shaotang.】

【Maybe it’s not love. Maybe the way the entertainment circle displays their friendship is a little too intimate.】

【I’m so sour I’m basically a lemon. Is Zhan Jiayin really that charming? First, she got a rich guy to abandon his previous wife, and then, she’s got the film king as her spare tire. And then there’s me, the handsomest guy in my class, and I can’t even get a girl. Rip my hand.】

【Beg Zhan Jiayin for the secret to seducing a guy! It’s gonna be expensive!!!】

Li Xiao took a look at the pictures. The picture where the two stars were holding hands actually took place when Zhan Jiayin was asleep. Ren Shaotang was sitting beside her and looking at her script. Stealthily, he took advantage of the situation and fulfilled his own desires. However, in the eyes of the fans, there was no way Ren Shaotang had made the first move. So it must have been Zhan Jiayin who seduced him, but at that time, Zhan Jiayin was asleep. 

Li Xiao was elated when she saw “Beg Zhan Jiayin for the secret to seducing a guy” and “good friend” at the top of the hot search list. This meant that Weibo’s top three hot searches were all about those two.

She reloaded, but the page came up with a 404 error.    

Li Xiao thought about it. Could it be that the amount of traffic caused Weibo to freeze?

The entirety of China now knew who was wearing the green hat*. Li Xiao wondered how her good father would react to this. She wanted to go back and watch the drama!

[T/N: If you’re getting cheated on, you wear a green hat.]

Li Xiao had nothing to do.

She knew that, as a man, Li Nanjue wouldn’t want his daughter laughing at him. If Li Xiao did, she’d probably have a gun against her forehead after this incident. But it was okay. She had Zhang Yan, so she could let Zhang Yan go over and record the show for her!

Zhang Yan! A must-have subordinate for homebodies!

Li Xiao promptly sent Zhang Yan over. She was worried that if she went too late, she’d miss the show. Well, Li Xiao would have to broadcast the show to Xu Manqin to make her feel better. ‘There’s a saying that goes, ‘She’ll feel better if she sees him suffer.’
