Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 788: Don’t be so fierce, I’m scared

Song Xue covered her mouth in shock.

"Changing fate..."

She only encountered such phrases in mysticism novels.

How had her good friend suddenly encountered such a thing?

Jiang Li then pulled Song Xue aside and instructed her.

"Lu Yafei’s situation seems to be targeted. According to your description, she started feeling unwell two months ago, so please check who she met during that time."

Song Xue nodded repeatedly, "This should not be difficult. Yafei usually just focuses on her work and rarely socializes. Master, rest assured, even if you had not mentioned it, I would still have found the villain!"

This person was simply monstrous, using such means to harm a young girl!

And even if they reported it to the police, there was nothing they could do!

Although Lu Yafei had awoken, her consciousness was still quite blurry, and she soon fell back into a deep sleep.

However, the doctor discovered that her vital signs had greatly improved, and she had even moved out of danger.

Lu’s parents, upon hearing this news, were overjoyed. Upon realizing it was thanks to Jiang Li, they immediately came over to thank her.

They almost knelt down to Jiang Li.

"Master Jiang, you are incredible! I can’t believe I didn’t trust you before, I truly was blind to your greatness!"

"Master Jiang, thank you for saving my daughter’s life. Without you, who knows what might have happened to her."

Lu’s father said emotionally and even pulled out a red envelope from his pocket to give to Jiang Li.

"This is a token of gratitude from both of us. It was initially meant for Yafei’s transfer to another hospital, but that won’t be necessary now. Please, Master Jiang, accept it without disdain."

Jiang Li did not act modestly.

Although she saved Lu Yafei not for money, since she undertook this fate-related task, she should claim some debt.

However, the red envelope was quite thick, being three stacked together. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Jiang Li took one of them and said, "This is enough. Miss Lu still needs considerable rest and care, and you need to focus on that."

Lu’s mother continuously praised Jiang Li as a good person and also thanked Song Xue profusely, handing her one of the remaining red envelopes.

Coincidentally, Ji Yanbai had just come back with food, and Jiang Li decided just to eat there in the lounge.

After tidying up, as she was about to leave, she heard some commotion coming from the opposite direction—

"Please, let me see the auntie, I really didn’t mean it before..."

"I’ve made myself clear, I don’t want to see you again. Leave."

Jiang Li was all too familiar with these two voices. The moment she heard them, she even felt a headache.

Why did she run into these two everywhere...

The speakers were none other than Su Yinwan and Shang Shaojing.

But the state of the two made Jiang Li feel utterly estranged.

Shang Shaojing blocked the door to the hospital room, his face cold.

Su Yinwan stood in front of him, pitifully pleading.

At their feet lay scattered fresh flowers.

Interested in this new twist in the tale, Jiang Li quietly stepped back to sneak a peek.

Su Yinwan bit her lip determinedly, grabbed Shang Shaojing’s sleeve, and tried to evoke his sympathy with her pitiful appearance.

"Brother Shaojing... I have been blaming myself these past days. I really did not push the auntie that day; maybe the living room floor was too slippery. Just let me see her once... I’ve even found a doctor and a caretaker, Brother Shaojing, don’t be so harsh, I’m really scared."

Shang Shaojing clearly had no more patience.

"Have I not made myself clear? I don’t want to see you. My mother doesn’t want to either. Just leave."

"Brother Shaojing..."

Annoyed, Shang Shaojing called security and had Su Yinwan, her face full of shock, escorted away.

Jiang Li kept her gaze on Su Yinwan’s figure until she completely vanished from sight.

It had been a long time since she had seen this legendary heroine.

The last time she saw her, she was a radiant celebrity, but now she was barefaced, wearing a simple down jacket.

If not for the familiar voice, she would not have recognized her.

Indeed, popularity nurtures people.

But what made Jiang Li more reflective was the couple’s relationship.

In the novel, Shang Shaojing was always steadfast by Su Yinwan’s side.

Even if there were misunderstandings, he couldn’t have been so indifferent to Su Yinwan’s pleading.

Curious, Jiang Li calculated with her fingers.

She remembered both Shang Shaojing and Su Yinwan’s Four Pillars of Destiny.

Now, aligning them, the bond of their marriage destiny had cleanly snapped.

Quite strange.

Yet Shang Shaojing still looked in the direction Su Yinwan had left, his gaze shifting to the scattered petals on the floor, before finally noticing Jiang Li hiding nearby, revealing a startled look.

Jiang Li didn’t hide further and walked out to greet him.

"Mr. Shang, long time no see."

Shang Shaojing was slightly startled, then nodded in return, "Long time no see."

Jiang Li walked over and glanced into the hospital room.

"What happened?"

Shang Shaojing’s gaze dropped, "My mother suffered some injuries, she’s still recuperating."

Jiang Li nodded, her gaze returning, "Then I hope your mother recovers soon."

She didn’t say more and turned to leave.

But Shang Shaojing stopped her.

"Jiang Li..."

"Yes?"

She turned around and found a tinge of regret flickering in Shang Shaojing’s drooping eyes.

"I’m sorry."

Jiang Li was puzzled, "Why are you apologizing to me?"

Shang Shaojing looked up, a trace of mockery crossing his face.

"In the past... I was too arrogant and did many ludicrous things, particularly to you. There was really nothing between us, I don’t know why I disliked you so much, when now you seem so competent."

It was as though a mysterious force had been driving him.

But after falling from grace, his mind had cleared, and many things he hadn’t understood before now made more sense.

Jiang Li couldn’t help but be surprised.

In her view, Shang Shaojing, as the male lead in the book, was the least likely to change.

Yet he, always so arrogant, was now taking the initiative to lower his head to her.

Had her influence grown so strong that she could even change the destinies of the male and female leads?

Thinking this, Jiang Li smiled slightly, her expression dismissively light.

"It’s okay. Everyone makes mistakes, and it’s good that you’ve realized it now."

"So... are we reconciled?"

Jiang Li shifted her gaze, her expression calm, "Mr. Shang, you’re thinking too much. There was never anything between us."

Shang Shaojing paused, but then chuckled.

Yes, what was he expecting?

After a few seconds of silence, he took an envelope out of his pocket.

"I had intended to mail this to you when I found the time, but since we’ve met today, I’ll give it to you in person. I hope it can help me atone."
