Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 673: Don’t You Think They Look Alike?

Jiang Li smiled, but her gaze thoroughly sized up Shu Yan.

After such a long time, Wen Jiaojiao and the others were all radiant, only she seemed less bright than when they first met, dressed in an extremely conservative camel-colored coat, her once meticulously cared-for long curly hair now also pinned up, completely lacking its former luster.

Jiang Li also noticed that even though she sat in the very back, her arms were always crossed together, appearing quite uneasy.

This was a quite defensive posture.

"Shu Yan, have you not been resting well? You seem a bit off," Jiang Li asked out of concern.

Shu Yan just forced a smile, "I’ve taken on too many engagements recently, I’m very tired, sorry everyone, I really can’t spare much time."

"You should just break the contract with your company," Wen Jiaojiao said discontentedly, "Your boss is too exploitative. I’ll ask my father to find you a better company, definitely easier than what you’re doing now."

"Forget it, Jiaojiao, it’s too much trouble, and my contract still has three years left, I can’t afford the penalty for breaking it," Shu Yan sighed, "Enough about me, Jiang Li, how was your stay on that island? You seem quite well."

Wen Jiaojiao’s attention was successfully diverted, "Exactly, I was so busy some days I didn’t have the time to watch the live stream, tell us about it."

Qi Tianyu, sensing the scent of gossip, also leaned in closer, "Yeah, Sister Li, what’s the deal with Young Master Gu? You actually know the grandson of the wealthiest man!"

Jiang Yan swirled his drink and snorted, "I am Young Master Gu’s lifesaver. He fell into the lake; it was me who pulled him out."

"Really?" Wen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, "I watched the live stream that day, you were reluctant at first, okay? It was Lili who forced you to go, otherwise, you would have just ignored it."

Jiang Yan: "I...."

He Yun, who had been quiet, furrowed his brows and after a moment, slowly said, "I also watched the live stream during my free time, didn’t you guys notice something strange?"

Qi Tianyu: "What strange thing?"

"Don’t you think this Young Master Gu resembles Zhao Lang, whom we met in Chixia Village?"

This light statement exploded like thunder, awakening everyone in the vehicle. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Even Jiang Li’s expression subtly changed.

He Yun had long noticed Gu Yu’s presence.

And knew that from the beginning, he was targeting Jiang Li.

It was precisely because of this point that he became suspicious of this man.

There are many people in the world who look alike, but it’s unlikely that they would even be similar in height.

Qi Tianyu stroked his chin and pondered, "You know, these two do look a bit alike."

Shu Yan also agreed, "I thought the same when they released the photo of Gu Shengrong’s grandson online, it looked so familiar."

"People who look alike are plenty, how could Young Master Gu compare with Brother Daniu?" Jiang Yan scoffed, "Though Young Master Gu has wealth and power, there’s an arrogance in his bones, and he looks rather sickly, nothing like the robust Brother Daniu."

Despite being impressed by Gu Yu’s wealth, in his heart, Zhao Daniu was the most dependable brother.

Jiang Li silently wanted to roll her eyes.

Where did he see so many differences between Zhao Lang and Gu Yu?

But Zhao Lang indeed was a bit crafty, deliberately losing a lot of weight, making slight adjustments to his features, even his vocal cords and height underwent minor modifications, coupled with dyeing his eye-catching hair, he completely achieved a look alike but unlike in essence.

Since the other party had helped her so much, shouldn’t she also help him out a bit?

"It’s different," Jiang Li emptied the drink in her glass, "Their destinies are quite different, one struggling throughout life, with an unstable Water Destiny, the other immensely wealthy, with a superior fate, gold and earth by his side, totally opposite."

She wasn’t exactly lying.

Since escaping from the Primordial Forest, Zhao Lang’s fate had subtly changed a lot.

The infinite rebirth that had troubled him was broken, and his original fate revealed itself.

This was "break the cocoon and become a butterfly."

After hearing Jiang Li’s words, everyone completely dispelled their doubts.

Indeed, one was a young man from a mountain village, and the other a billionaire at the pinnacle of the world; the two had nothing to do with each other.

How many bizarre things could there possibly be in the world?

Besides, with Master Jiang, who always knew things before they happened, making a statement, what was there left to question?

The group soon moved on to other topics and before long, arrived at the hotel Wen Jiaojiao had reserved.

In order to welcome Jiang Li and cleanse him of his travels, they simply booked the entire restaurant.

The restaurant, called Chunshan Garden, boasted a traditional Chinese style, with antique decorations, and its main dishes were also of a traditional style.

It was Wen Jiaojiao’s specific choice.

After they reached their designated private room, there hung a long banner with red fabric and golden letters that read "Welcome Sister Li back to the capital."

"Thump, thump, thump." Qi Tianyu rushed forward, boasting, "I wrote this banner by hand, how is it?"

Jiang Li nodded, genuinely praising, "Not bad, you’ve improved, it already has strength and structure."

Qi Tianyu, praised a little, smugly set his hands on his hips.

He now understood why so many people liked Jiang Li.

Because when she complimented someone, she was truly generous and sincere, instantly making one feel as if immersed in a warm spring breeze.

Her personal charm was off the charts.

Jiang Yan, however, was not satisfied, "Why is only Jiang Li being welcomed? What about me?"

Wen Jiaojiao scoffed, "Don’t you have any idea? You should be happy that you got to tag along for a meal."

Jiang Yan: "....."

Once again, he felt he was the only one hurt in the world.

But he was also carefree by nature; insulted one moment, he would forget it the next, and wouldn’t take it to heart.

One moment he was squabbling with Wen Jiaojiao, and the next he was praising her good taste in choosing a delicious restaurant.

The private room was filled with laughter and chats from everyone.

Except for Shu Yan.

At first, she was chatting along with everyone else, but midway, she started to grow restless, constantly checking her phone, and later, even stepped out several times to make calls.

Jiang Li noticed her unusual behavior and asked directly, "Shu Yan, is everything alright?"

At this, several pairs of eyes focused on her.

Shu Yan looked a bit embarrassed and waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, I’m fine, it’s just getting late, I might have to go home early."

"Huh?" Wen Jiaojiao checked her watch, "But it’s only two o’clock, what’s the hurry? It’s not often we all get together like this."

"Sorry, Jiaojiao, it’s really inconvenient for me. My mother-in-law has been staying at my house recently, and I need to get back to look after her."
