Transmigrated into the Cannon Fodder's Daughter - Chapter 20.1

Editor: Aaghna

Li Qianfei’s goal for visiting Li Xiao seemed to be to give her the necklace. She waited until Li Xiao accepted it before leaving as if she accomplished something important.

Li Xiao toyed with the necklace. She did not sense any remnant of a curse from the chain. It looked like an ordinary necklace, just a little more expensive and prettier. Of course, she didn’t actually believe Li Qianfei gave her the necklace to make up.

Taking out her phone, she sent a video of the necklace to Ai Wen inquiring about how much the necklace could be auctioned off for.

Ai Wen immediately video called Li Xiao.

Ai Wen was unable to conceal her excitement on the screen. “How did you get that necklace?”

“What’s so special about it?” Li Xiao said.

“That necklace appeared 132 years ago, and the Quan family paid a high price for it. Right now, it’s estimated to be worth 2 billion. It is said to be passed down to the Madam of the Quan family,” Ai Wen said.

“Did you get married to the young master of the Quan family? Did he come back to China? When did you two meet?”

A series of questions bombarded Li Xiao. She wasn’t used to seeing Ai Wen express her emotions so openly, and had a few questions. “The Quan family?”

She suddenly thought of what the sparrow spirit had said. ‘Young Master Quan’s Pampered Koi Wife’ was the sequel to ‘The CEO’s Actress Wife’. The female lead was Li Qianfei, and the male lead Quan Yisen. It was a pity that the sparrow spirit had only read the synopsis and not the book.

Li Xiao glanced at the sparrow spirit rather hatefully. It was a disappointment. Instead of reading the novels it needed to read, it read a bunch of useless books.

Ai Wen informed her about the Quan family. In the past, the Quan family was the most influential aristocratic family, standing for over 1000 years. In China’s most unstable period, the family escaped to Y Country. There, they made a name for themselves, and in 50 years, they were awarded the title of Marquis for their contributions. In short, the Quan family was made up of nobility. Although the Li family was rich, in front of the Quan family, they were like an upstart family.

Li Xiao suddenly realized something. “So it was like that?”

“How did the necklace fall into your hands? Could it be a fake?” Ai Wen asked.

Li Xiao was confident that the necklace in her hand was the original.

She faintly smiled. “Has the Quan family returned to China?”

“News of their return came two months ago. They’re supposedly going to open a company, but the details are unclear,” Ai Wen said. Ai Wen had connections in the entertainment industry, but even her connections didn’t know all the details. They only heard rumors.

“That necklace has to be counterfeit. The Quan family wouldn’t let something so precious wander around. You shouldn’t wear it too often, so people don’t laugh at you. But telling you won’t change much. Knowing you, you wouldn’t wear counterfeit jewelry.”

Satisfied, Li Xiao hung up the phone after receiving the information. She researched the Quan family, but the news online was limited and sporadic. She searched for hours but was only able to come across a picture that was fourteen years old. The young Mrs. Quan wore the necklace to the United Nations as an envoy of peace.

The corners of Li Xiao’s mouth rose. How interesting.

The sparrow spirit stopped writing and asked her with excitement, “Is that necklace real?”

“Li Qianfei wouldn’t give me a fake,” Li Xiao said. But she didn’t know what the other party would plot using this necklace.

“What’s so special about Li Qianfei?” The sparrow spirit was more interested in this than the actual necklace. The sparrow spirit couldn’t see it. It had only been enlightened because it was lucky enough to take a powdered pill. It had no cultivation talent or anything of the sort.

Li Xiao closed her Heaven’s Eye that she had specifically opened for Li Qianfei. Lightly massaging her temples she eased away her faint drowsiness. “She’s very lucky.”

Never before had Li Xiao seen such strong luck. It was no wonder she was willing to take such massive risks.

“But her fortune is too mixed. It’s a complete mess. It clearly doesn’t belong to her,” Li Xiao muttered to herself. But she didn’t know what Li Qianfei had done to seize other people’s fortunes, and of many people at that. Li Xiao wasn’t envious of her. If she stole other people’s fortunes, she would eventually have to return them. An eye for an eye.

“Then can you cut the good luck away from her?” the sparrow spirit questioned.

Li Xiao remained silent for a questionably long time.

For once, the sparrow spirit’s brain seemed to be present. “I got it. You can’t do it! And here I thought you were all-powerful!”

A dangerous glint flashed in Li Xiao’s eyes. “This weather is distracting and making me hungry. I think a spicy, roasted sparrow would be quite appetizing.”

This little guy stayed at her place and ate her food! And he still dared to demean her?! Had she been too nice? She wasn’t a deity, so of course she wouldn’t be good at everything. Her expertise lied in talismans! Her Qi and Feng Shui were only basic.

The sparrow spirit’s feathers stood on the edge, and it collapsed to the ground. “I was wrong!!!”

After pruning the inflated sparrow, Li Xiao was in a much better mood. She put away the necklace and prepared to auction it off at some point! According to Ai Wen, this necklace could be auctioned off for at least 20 billion. It didn’t matter what Li Qianfei was planning. If the necklace wasn’t in Li Xiao’s hands, what could Li Qianfei do?

Li Xiao couldn’t help but sigh, “Li Qianfei is such a good person.”    

Right after returning home, she gave Li Xiao an extremely valuable item with a rather large monetary value attached to it. A regular auction house wouldn’t accept it. It could only go through the world’s largest auction house, Feide Auction house. If one was a member, the auction house wouldn’t reveal your identity. The conditions for becoming a member were strict: rich or noble.

Of course, Li Xiao couldn’t be a member anymore, but she knew who could be a member. She silently found Jiang Chao’s phone number. After all, she couldn’t ask Li Nanjue to help her with the auction of this item.

I’m counting on you, bigshot Jiang Chao!
