Transmigrated into the Cannon Fodder's Daughter - Chapter 56.2

“What’s wrong? Why the hesitant look?”

Ai Wen brewed a cup of coffee for herself and gave Li Xiao a cup of fruit tea. Ever since her childhood, Li Xiao had never drunk coffee, and instead, preferred sweet fruit teas. In front of other people, she would have an aura of a rich young miss, but in reality, she was childlike. Ai Wen, who was unmarried and childless, always treated Li Xiao as her own child and put the food Li Xiao liked to eat in her office.

Li Xiao took a sip of fruit tea, put down the cup, and asked, “After I lost my memory, you never asked why I changed so much.”

Li Xiao had always refrained from asking this question. In her mind, she was sure that she was going to return to her original body soon.

Ai Wen looked at Li Xiao lovingly. “Although you don’t remember much, you haven’t really changed.”

For example, when Li Xiao was nervous, she would purse her lips, puff out her chest, and put on a confident expression.

She enjoyed the feeling of being praised and was slightly narcissistic, but also very brave. She refused to let other people worry about her.

Because Li Xiao had no memories, she had always thought the original Li Xiao was different. So, the reason no one had been suspicious was because her personality hadn’t changed?

“Although I don’t know where you learned all those Taoist techniques, I’ll be here to listen whenever you’re ready to tell me,” Ai Wen said.

Li Xiao was at a loss for words, so she changed the subject. “Is my mom okay?”

Ai Wen smiled. “She’s recovering well. She’s about to travel abroad for a break.”

Manqin’s mood was certainly good. After seeing Li Nanjue and Zhan Jiayin suffer, Manqin’s appetite improved.

Li Xiao nodded. “Okay.” Li Qianxing had no hope of being released any time soon, so there was no need to worry about them.

Li Xiao smiled as she remembered Li Qianxing. “Li Qianxing is going to court soon at the end of the month. When the trial starts, his charges will be delivered.”

Although Li Nanjue had been desperately pulling strings to help Li Qianxing, nothing had been working. The government liked to keep an eye on Li Qianxing, who had no sense of justice and could cause massive damage to the country.

Ai Wen’s mood suddenly improved.

After talking with Ai Wen and getting updates on some of her mother’s recent developments, Li Xiao went home with contentment.

When she got home, the sparrow was lying on her keyboard, on the verge of breaking.

Li Xiao picked her up. “Are you going to use the keyboard as a seat?”

“I wrote 10,000 words today!” the sparrow spirit said.

“That’s very impressive,” Li Xiao praised. She would have to give her a reward later.

“Do you think that the experience we had before we crossed over was just a dream?” Li Xiao asked.

“How could it be a dream?” the sparrow spirit said. “If it were a dream, you would have been dreaming about becoming a millionaire, not some poor Taoist who was unable to afford money to even repair a Taoist temple after working so hard to exorcise ghosts.”

Li Xiao feigned being hurt and couldn’t help but cover her chest.

“It’s good that we don’t have to go back, otherwise, we’d still have to work in order to earn money to renovate the temple.”

Li Xiao’s eyes narrowed. She really didn’t want to keep this sparrow spirit anymore!

October 16th.    

Li Nanjue finally invited Cang Ming to come over even though Cang Ming had charged quite a high price. The other masters Li Nanjue had looked for didn’t help, so Li Nanjue had no choice to pay eight million in order to exorcise four people.

Yes, the driver also needed exorcising. After all, the driver was considered Li Nanjue’s subordinates, and if the driver continued to have nightmares, Li Nanjue wouldn’t be comfortable letting him continue to drive.

Li Nanjue’s gaze fell on the young teenager in front of him. Could this kid really help them?

Qu Lian was even more direct. “Is he legitimate? Not a scam?” Her expression screamed distrust.

Li Qianfei stared at Cang Ming’s face and felt her ears grow a little hot. This Taoist master was very good-looking and had a different aura than Quan Yisen’s cold, domineering vibe.

Ever since Quan Yisen knew Li Qianfei’s real personality, he had blocked her on all platforms. Li Qianfei was more or less dead to Quan Yisen and could only look for another rich boy.

But after meeting this new master, Li Qianfei had a new idea.

If he was really powerful, and if Li Qianfei could get him to like her, maybe she could attempt to regain her good luck. Li Qianfei’s mother had been able to make Uncle Zeng die for her and her two children, so Li Qianfei didn’t see any reason why she couldn’t either.

“Grandma, you can’t judge someone based on their appearance. If the master was able to get so many people to recommend him, he must be powerful,” Li Qianfei snapped.

Li Qianfei turned to Cang Ming with a smile. “Dad and I will be counting on you.”

“Actually, it’s okay if you don’t believe me. I can just go back and catch up on my sleep,” Cang Ming said. “But I won’t refund the deposit.”

After saying what he needed to say, he turned around to leave.
