Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

"Mrs. Qin?"

Lili called out twice in a row, and Mrs. Qin, who was standing by the dining table, finally came to her senses.

Hurriedly putting away her phone, she quickly said, "Eh, Miss, what did you say?"

Lili looked at her with a light smile, "Pour me a glass of water."

Jiang Yan suddenly snorted, "I thought you had really changed, but isn't the kettle right next to you? Do you really need Auntie to come over and pour it for you?"

Lili ignored him and simply pushed her cup further out.

"Mrs. Qin, I'd like some hot water."

Mrs. Qin's face changed, but she quickly recovered and picked up the cup.

"Alright, Miss, I'll go to the kitchen and pour you some hot water."

However, the moment she turned around, her face darkened.

She was fed up with being bossed around by this delicate Miss Jiang, who used to order her to do this and that, and now she wouldn't even pour herself a glass of water.

Muttering under her breath, Mrs. Qin entered the kitchen and pulled out her phone again.

"What's with this girl, not answering her phone all day? Didn't she say the good fortune was hers to claim?"

"What's with these days? When will I get through this!"

"Drink, drink, drink, Miss, is it? You want hot water, do you? Watch me scald you to death."

Mrs. Qin's eyes gradually hardened, and she decisively poured all the freshly boiled water into the cup before turning back towards the dining room.

At that moment, Lili was laughing sweetly, chatting with Lin Manru about something.

Mrs. Qin's face shifted, and the next second she approached with a forced smile, "Miss, your water is ready."

But Lili continued her conversation with her mother as if she hadn't heard.

Mrs. Qin called out again, yet Lili passed by her and directly picked up a meatball for Lin Manru's bowl.

"Mother, try this."

Feeling ignored, Mrs. Qin's expression became rigid, and the cup in her hand gradually heated up, becoming scorching hot.

"Miss, your water's ready; I've placed it on the table for you."

She moved forward instinctively, but Lili raised her elbow to block her approach.

"Mrs. Qin, since when did you become so reluctant to hand me a glass of water? Or is there something in this cup that even you can't hold onto?"

Lili spoke in a light tone, casually wiping her fingertips with a napkin without lifting her gaze even slightly.

"How could that be?" Mrs. Qin replied with a strained smile, enduring the burning sensation on her fingertips, "I'm just worried you might be thirsty, Miss."

"I'm not thirsty right now, and there's no more space on the table; you can hold onto it for a while."

"But...."

Jiang Yan, who had been holding back his irritation, finally seized the opportunity and exclaimed, "Hey, what madness is this?"

Lin Manru glared at him before turning to Lili, "Lili, what's the matter? Don't you like the food?"

After casting a dismissive glance at Jiang Yan, Lili's thoughtful gaze fell on her mother.

"Mother, have you not been paying our servants their wages recently?"

"How could that be?" Lin Manru said, "I not only pay them their salaries on time every month, but I also don't miss out on bonuses. The amount of money they receive could employ twice as many people in another household."

"That's strange," Lili feigned confusion, "If you treat them so well, why would they still harbor ill intentions?"

Mrs. Qin, who already had a guilty conscience, flinched upon hearing this and inadvertently spilled a lot of the boiling water, scalding her fingertips.

Unable to bear it, Mrs. Qin cried out and threw the cup, twisting her face in pain as she clutched her hand.

The glass shattered upon hitting the floor, and the loud noise attracted the attention of the entire dining room.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qin hurriedly made a cleaning motion and explained, "I apologize, madam and miss, I—I just didn't stand steady and got scalded."

Without changing her expression, Lili retorted, "Didn't I ask for drinkable water? How did you manage to scald yourself like that?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan also sensed something was amiss and his suspicion turned toward Mrs. Qin, his face growing colder.

```

"What's wrong with you, can't you even hold a glass steady?"

```

```

"It's not like that, not like that." Mrs. Qin quickly waved her hands, "I, I'm just because I was busy all day and a bit dizzy, so just now—"

```

```

Jiang Li ignored her explanation and opened his phone before Lin Manru.

```

```

"Mother, please look at this."

```

```

Jiang Yan also stretched his neck curiously, but his face turned dark the moment he heard the words "Brother Yan" from the video.

```

```

Jiang Li actually still hadn't fucking deleted this video?!

```

```

Even the usually good-tempered Lin Manru turned cold upon seeing the video.

```

```

She slammed her hand on the table and glared at Mrs. Qin, who was bending over.

```

```

"Qin XiuZhi, what's going on here? How come your daughter is with my son?!"

```

```

It wasn't that she had anything against the children of servants, but Qin Xiaoxiao's character really wasn't very proper.

```

```

The mother and daughter entered the Jiang Family together, but it wasn't long before she caught Qin Xiaoxiao sneaking into Jiang Li's clothes and even saw her getting close to Jiang Yan.

```

```

At that time, she thought there might have been some misunderstanding, considering Qin XiuZhi was an honest person, her daughter shouldn't be too bad, and she didn't want to make a big fuss and lose face, so she held back and didn't make it clear.

```

```

But she hadn't expected...

```

```

"This is what I filmed when I went to find Jiang Yan today."

```

```

Jiang Li threw out the most shocking bomb in the calmest of tones.

```

```

Lin Manru was directly shocked.

```

```

If Jiang Li hadn't found Jiang Yan in time, wouldn't they...

```

```

Wouldn't it have been their Jiang Family instead of the Qiao Family that lost their reputation today?

```

```

Qin XiuZhi was totally stunned.

```

```

She didn't expect things to escalate so suddenly.

```

```

One second ago, Jiang Li was still arrogantly directing her to serve tea and water, and the next, he directly brought out a video of her daughter with Jiang Yan.

```

```

But on second thought, Qin XiuZhi calmed down.

```

```

If this video was real, wouldn't that mean Xiaoxiao had succeeded in what she was doing?

```

```

Did she intentionally not answer the phone for fear of being caught by Jiang Li?

```

```

With this in mind, Qin XiuZhi quickly knelt down and pleaded with a grim face, "Madam, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have kept this from you, but, but it's natural for young people to be drawn to each other, there's nothing we as elders can do to prevent it."

```

```

Lin Manru was dumbfounded, looking at her son with disappointment, "So you're unwilling to marry because you're already together with Qin Xiaoxiao?"

```

```

Jiang Yan didn't speak, just glared at Jiang Li with a face of iron.

```

```

He knew this girl was up to no good!

```

```

Seeing him silent, Lin Manru grew more anxious, "I'm talking to you, aren't you going to explain?"

```

```

Jiang Yan pushed his chair back irritably and stood up.

```

```

"What's there to explain? Think whatever you want, I'm tired!"

```

```

Should he explain that he was drunk and mistakenly took Qin Xiaoxiao for his secret love interest, Su Yinwan, and almost made a huge mistake?

```

```

Wouldn't that just make him look like an even bigger fool?!

```

```

However, just as he was about to leave, Jiang Li suddenly asked from behind:

```

```

"Jiang Yan, how much had you drunk at the time?"

```

```

Jiang Yan was even more annoyed, "I had two bottles of whisky, so what?"

```

```

"Two bottles and you were so drunk you couldn't even tell people apart?"

```

```

"No, are you questioning—"

```

```

The words barely out of his mouth, Jiang Yan was stunned.

```

```

Right, he would normally be fine even after three bottles, just a bit dizzy.

```

```

How could he have been so drunk today that he mistook someone's identity to that extent?
