Transmigrated into the Cannon Fodder's Daughter - Chapter 60.1

Editor: Aaghna

The next day, Li Xiao took Cang Ming to go pick out a house. Since she was especially satisfied with his recent performance, she let him choose the house he wanted. They were in the high-end neighborhood Ren Shaotang had once lived in. It cost tens of millions of dollars to buy even one apartment here.

Cang Ming randomly picked two apartments on the seventh floor. After the two of them prepared their information, they were ready to perform the final procedures.

Li Xiao continuously gave to others. She had Zhan Jiayin’s luck, the face of a celebrity, and had given a house to a man. And that man had quite a handsome face.

Li Xiao’s keen ear picked up on the staff’s quiet whispers as she was leaving.

“Shit! I’m so jealous! That would be worth ten years of my salary.”

“No, a hundred years! Look at that home! We wouldn’t be able to afford it even if we slaved and saved our pennies for 100 years. And two of them at that! Li Xiao is too generous, giving away two homes at once. Who says the Li family doesn’t have money? Look how generous she is!”

“Damn, where can I find a rich girl who will look at me?”

“Look in the mirror. Stop dreaming. Even if you wanted to, you’d have to look good. Look at that guy. His face is more than enough for the entertainment industry.”

Li Xiao was sure that Cang Ming had also heard their conversation. Normal people would be upset when being called a sugar baby. Li Xiao turned to look at Cang Ming, but he was rather calm. Originally, she had wanted to comfort him, but that didn’t seem necessary.

When all the tedious formalities were finished, Li Xiao thought it was time for her to find an assistant. However, she had a lot of secrets. She would have to find an assistant she could trust, which would likely be a problem.

Suddenly, Li Xiao remembered that she hadn’t been to school for almost a month.

She would have to go to school sometime so she could drop out. If she went through the formalities of dropping out, they would surely notify her parents, but Li Xiao could care less about Li Nanjue’s opinion. She would rather go to other sects and exchange Taoist techniques in her free time.

After exiting the school building, Li Xiao went to see Jiang Tiantian, and they had lunch together. When she arrived at the school, the fourth period was not yet over, so Li Xiao waited outside, scrolling through her Weibo.

There was currently no news about Zhan Jiayin. Netizens thought she was hiding at home because of her disastrous reputation, which made her unable to land any roles. That was because, of course, the Li family couldn’t go around saying that their Madam had been arrested, so the news had been suppressed.

Li Qianxing’s arrest had already stirred up quite a mess in the Li company, so if the news of Zhan Jiayin came out, the stocks would surely suffer.

Li Xiao read through an article and couldn’t contain her joy. It was titled “A candlelit dinner? Emperor Ren may have some good news in store.”

She clicked on it, but it was a picture of Ren Shaotang having dinner with a woman. He accompanied her to go shopping and carried her things. The woman’s face was unclear, but one could tell she was extraordinarily beautiful.

Li Xiao was rather surprised. Had Ren Shaotang, the infatuated side hoe, finally given up on Zhan Jiayin?

Ren Shaotang’s fans were discussing in the comments section below. Although many of his fans had left the fandom, there was still quite a large amount and possessed quite a bit of power.

【That’s her? She’s really good-looking. She and Shaotang are the perfect match!】

【Shaotang already has a new girlfriend, so please don’t post anything about someone who is already married! Thank you!】

【The tabloids need to stop gossiping! Shaotang and the movie queen are just good friends! Their relationship isn’t anything more! If they gossip again, I’ll report it!！】

【When other celebrities have their dating photos leaked, the fans will stir up quite a mess trying to prove it untrue. But when it comes to Ren Shaotang, his fans are quite happy to see him have such a scandalous appearance. They can’t wait for him to announce it to the world.】

This was because the previous scandal between Ren Shaotang and Zhan Jiayin had hurt his popularity. His proud fans became ashamed and the mere words “Zhan Jiayin” were enough to cause them to spit blood.

Li Xiao was so lost in reading up on all the gossip that she only stood up when she heard the bell ring.

She had already sent a text message to Jiang Tiantian, so Jiang Tiantian came to Li Xiao as soon as she was done with her class.

Behind Jiang Tiantian was a handsome boy wearing a white shirt.

“Tiantian, let’s eat together at noon.”

Jiang Tiantian impatiently frowned and said coldly, “Stay away from me.”

The young boy still smiled bright, unaffected by her cold tone. “Tiantian, give me a chance.”

Li Xiao put away her phone, walked over to Jiang Tiantian, and stared at the unknown teenager.

His face was as white as snow, and his eyebrows were perfectly shaped. He was very attractive. Because he was being stared at by such a beauty, the teenager couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He felt his heartbeat accelerate.

His mind couldn’t help but water. Had Li Xiao, that beautiful woman, taken a liking to him? Should he answer her question with a yes or no?

The corners of his mouth hooked up to form the bright smile he had spent hours practicing behind his mirror.

“Looking at you now…”

The teenager shuddered. Even her voice was beautiful.

“Your eyebrows are curved like a silkworm chrysalis, meaning you don’t lack women. You’re fickle in love. You have a cyan seal that drifts upwards. Your longevity has yellow Qi…Well, you’ll make a small fortune first, then encounter a big disaster. Oh? Your small fortune is related to a woman. Your mouth…”

Li Xiao was slow and methodical. Her tone was neither light nor heavy and had the sort of tone that would make anyone believe her words.

She continued on to say his heart was thumping, only to feel like he was stripped naked and lying in the sun.

Finally, her tone became cold. “So, you recently made a fortune, which is related to a woman. Say, who paid you to pursue Tiantian?”

The boy’s face turned white, and he turned immediately to make a run for it.

“Such poor psychological quality and he still wants to play with other people’s feelings!” Li Xiao spat.

Jiang Tiantian remained expressionless, but Li Xiao could see the relief in her eyes.

“Is that your classmate?” Li Xiao asked.

Jiang Tiantian frowned. “He’s from another college. I don’t know him.” She didn’t even know his name. She had found him rather annoying, and now that Xiao Xiao had said someone had paid him off, she became suspicious. Who was trying to take advantage of her?

“Li Xiao.”

Li Xiao was just about to leave with Jiang Tiantian when she heard Quan Yisen’s voice. She turned back and saw him dressed formally. She couldn’t help but sigh. Wasn’t he tired of dressing so formally for class every day?
