Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 272 - Jiang Fugui

Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Jiang Fugui

Lin Manru held the phone for a few seconds, expecting her daughter Tiantian’s greeting, but instead, she got a string of mournful male complaints.

“Mom, so you talk behind my back to Jiang Li every day, saying bad things about me? What do you mean I don’t need to return home? Am I not your beloved son anymore, Mom?”

Lin Manru: !!!

She was stunned, and blurted out subconsciously, “Why is it you? How come you have your sister’s phone? Have you bullied your sister again?”

Jiang Yan: “….”

[Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter, the young master really is the least favorite at home!]

[We can’t call him young master anymore, we might as well call him a male servant.]

[Their mom really spoils Lili, oh. I used to think Lili was being mistreated at home, but it seems I was wrong. Such a family atmosphere is actually pretty good.]

[Good my foot, you’ve only seen the surface of it all. What’s the use of consoling and asking if you’re warm or cold? Giving money is what truly matters, you probably don’t know that Jiang Yan received 30% of the Jiang Group’s shares from Old Sir Jiang on his 18th birthday, and even before that, he got loads of real estate until his arms went weak, while Jiang Li got nothing. If that’s not favoring sons over daughters, then what is?]

“It’s not like that, Mom. Didn’t you see the livestream? What do you mean I bully Jiang Li? She’s the one who bullies me every day, alright!” Jiang Yan complained emphatically.

“I did watch the livestream, but your sister is doing this for your own good, to train you, how could that be bullying? You need to be sensible.”

Jiang Yan: ???

What? Now even his mom considers Jiang Li’s bullying behavior as a way to toughen him up?!

Heavens know how much wood he’s chopped, how much water he’s carried, how many mosquito bites he’s endured in the past few days!

Jiang Yan’s face was clouded with gloom, “Alright, let’s stop discussing this distressing topic. Let’s talk about something serious, could you take out the family’s household registration book and send me a photo of it?”

“What do you need the household registration book for?”

Jiang Yan clenched his fist with determination.

“Because I need to prove I’m a child of the Jiang Family!”

Lin Manru: ?

“Have you taken the wrong medicine, child? What do you mean ‘prove you are our child’? Do you suspect that I found you somewhere?” Lin Manru sniffled, “Mom has been so good to you, and yet you still doubt this, Jiang Yan, you’re really disappointing Mom.”

After saying this, Lin Manru hung up the phone, leaving Jiang Yan alone, dumbfounded.

No.

He just wanted to have a look at the household registration book at home.

Was that necessary???!!!

Lin Manru breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.

It would have been a disaster if Jiang Yan knew his name hadn’t been changed in the household registration book until now!

Jiang Yan wasn’t originally named Jiang Yan.

When he was born, the family business was not doing well, and everyone was struggling with food. His birth added to the family’s troubles.

At that time, the fortune teller Old Sir Jiang had found suggested giving the child a humble name to make it easier to raise him and to help turn the family’s luck around.

So after much consideration, they named him Jiang Fugui, which sounded like ‘Jiang, rich and noble’.

To their surprise, the turnaround came. When Jiang Yan was one year old, the family business suddenly doubled, and the overseas shipment made a substantial profit, wiping out all their debts overnight.

Therefore, Old Sir Jiang decided with a wave of his hand that the name Jiang Yan would not be changed.

The couple felt a chill at that moment and sure enough, from kindergarten on, his name became a laughing stock among his classmates.

Finally, in the third grade, after being mocked again for his name, Jiang Yan threw a tantrum at home. But at that time, the family was busy preparing to move to the Capital, and they simply did not have the time to change his name.

So, they made him a temporary ID card, temporarily changing his name to Jiang Yan, and tricked everyone with it.

Because the household registration book got transferred back and forth, along with some other reasons, to this day, Jiang Yan’s name is still Jiang Fugui in the family’s household registration book.

Times have changed. Now their son is a big online sensation. If he found out his embarrassing former name hadn’t been changed, it would be a complete mess!

So Lin Manru decided to take a step back to move forward, devising this method to sidestep the issue.

Sure enough, her naive son didn’t become suspicious, nor did he continue to ask further questions.

Lin Manru contentedly put down her phone, and when she turned around, she found herself looking into the eyes of Jiang Shixu, who had appeared behind her at some point.

His bright, shiny eyes were filled with glistening tears, and his face showed the utmost grievance.

“Auntie, the things you and big brother said, mom told me too. It can’t be that both big brother and I are adopted, right?”

Lin Manru: !

Damn, she had forgotten that today the child was also home.

Lin Manru suddenly felt completely at a loss, “Well, Shixu, weren’t you upstairs practicing the piano? Why did you come down?”

Jiang Shixu didn’t speak, just continued to look at Lin Manru with his reddened eyes.

Lin Manru could only stiffen up and say, “How could that be? You and Jiang Yan are certainly children of the Jiang Family.”

“I don’t believe it, unless you can show me the household register,” Shixu retorted.

With no other option, Lin Manru hurried to the study to look for the household register.

Jiang Cheng, who was doing his homework in the study, was also disturbed by the commotion.

After learning the purpose of Jiang Shixu’s request, still in front of Lin Manru, Jiang Cheng pretentiously started to comfort him. But when Lin Manru turned and walked to the inner room, the smile on Jiang Cheng’s face became even more pronounced.

“Don’t overthink it, little brother Shixu, how could you possibly be adopted? It’s just that your mom stays at the company all day and doesn’t come home, and your dad spends his years traveling,” he said.

Jiang Shixu’s expression changed as he looked towards him.

Jiang Cheng was sitting by the window, and at that moment, the most beautiful sunlight of the afternoon was shining all over the young man, but his face was filled with mischievous thoughts, like a little devil who loved to play tricks on others.

Deep down, Jiang Shixu hated him.

How can there be such a malicious person in the world?

Thinking it over, he snorted coldly, “That’s still better than certain people who don’t even have parents.”

After saying this, he turned and went to the inner room.

With a “clatter,” the pen Jiang Cheng was twirling in his hand dropped onto the desk, the last bit of glint in his eyes slowly extinguished, turning into a deep and icy abyss.

Heh, no parents…

Look, these high and mighty people always like to trample on others with the happiness they possess.

One day.

One day he would make everyone just like him.

…

…

After dinner, Jiang Yan irritably started to wash the dishes.

Not long after, his phone in his pocket vibrated.

Jiang Yan wiped his hands and swiped open the phone.

It was a WeChat message from Jiang Shixu.

—[Brother, here is the thing you wanted.]

Just as Jiang Yan was wondering what it could be, the other party sent over a photo.

It was a screenshot of the household register.

A warm feeling surged in Jiang Yan’s heart.

It seemed there were still people in the family who cared about him. He didn’t expect that the kid would actually take his words to heart.

Just as he was about to shower some affectionate attention on his little brother, his eyes fixed on the name section he hadn’t managed to fully look at yet.

“Ahh—!!!!!!”
