Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!

Chapter 618 - 9: The Little Sister-in-Law (Part 9)

The puppet woke up the next day, feeling sore all over, but Bai Siyang was already gone, obviously off to the company.

Recalling last night’s wine, Li Shuning sneered. The first knock last night was her spiritual power manifesting, deliberately knocking on the door with the aim of obtaining those bottles of wine.

One day, she’ll make them reap what they’ve sown.

The puppet quickly tidied up and went to the company.

This thing naturally requires my brother’s help to check it out.

As for Bai Siyang, she doesn’t want him to know for now; otherwise, the shock that comes with discovering the anomaly will be gone, won’t it?

Indeed, her brother still has quite Divine Skills. In just a few hours, the puppet was called over.

"Sister, where did the wine you gave me earlier come from? It contains some aphrodisiac components."

The puppet was full of surprise; it took quite a while to come to her senses. "Brother, it’s okay. I just wanted to see if the wine has any problems; it has nothing to do with me."

As the brother, he understands his little sister’s temperament well.

Under Li Shurui’s questioning, the puppet told her brother everything.

"Such audacity, daring to plot against my sister." Li Shurui was furious.

"Brother, don’t be angry yet. I always feel the timing of Hu Angran’s appearance is too coincidental, and he seems to know quite a bit about my situation at home. I think not to alert him yet, to see if there’s anyone else behind him. I’ve already got someone to check; he has opened a company himself, quite familiar with the circle."

"The Li Family, Bai Family—neither of them he can afford to offend; so why does he still want to do it?"

"Just the act of inviting me out for dinner that day was odd; who invites someone out for dinner so late at night?"

"Sister, are you implying that someone at home is associated with him? Is it your sister-in-law?"

Everything was fine before, but ever since that sister-in-law returned, peace has been elusive; Li Shurui naturally thought of her.

"Brother, I don’t know. I believe I’ve already been very good and tolerant towards my sister-in-law since her return, yet I’m still not sure."

"Does Bai Siyang know about it?"

"After all, it’s just my speculation; I haven’t told him yet."

"Alright, I’ll help you out."

"Brother is the best." The puppet showed a bright smile.

"Foolish girl."

After that, Hu Angran several times wanted to invite Li Shuning out to dinner, but Li Shuning always had the puppet find various excuses to decline.

Meanwhile, on Li Shurui’s end, he quietly tampered with Hu Angran’s company.

It’s inherently a small company, and Hu Angran suddenly became busy.

On Bai Siyang’s side, he was looking somberly as well, staring incredulously at the surveillance video in front of him.

Previously, he had people investigate and review videos from various venues, finding that the one secretly filming was Bai Xiaojun.

Bai Siyang felt his temples throbbing continuously.

Why did she do this?

From the day she framed Shuning, his sister’s actions left him puzzled.

Why does she keep undermining his relationship with Shuning repeatedly? What’s the benefit for her in doing so?

Hu Angran received another mysterious phone call this day.

"Who exactly are you, and why do you insist on me acting against Li Shuning?"

"Is my company’s recent trouble caused by you?"

Bai Xiaojun paused for a moment before replying coldly, "Your actions are too slow; you’ve already acted, and you think you’re innocent? If you don’t act soon, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Bai Xiaojun ignored Hu Angran’s company troubles, and her evasive answers were meant to mislead the other party, potentially being more intimidating.

"Besides, my plan is very beneficial for you, isn’t it?"

"But I need to be able to invite the other party out for that to work. I’ve been inviting them lately, but they haven’t come out. I’m stuck."

"Understood, I’ll contact you shortly. This time, make it clean and efficient."

Hu Angran took out a cigarette, smoking absentmindedly.

He was truly frustrated.

Those people are always so superior. For a small person like him, a slight storm could sweep him in, leading to a potential unmarked grave.

Yet he was powerless.

Hu Angran sneered. That mysterious person kept calling, and he had gathered some information about them.

That person should be a woman, though they deliberately altered their voice, it’s still discernible.

The phone number, which he had old classmates check, was an anonymous SIM card.

Nevertheless, it’s certain that this person must be someone close to Li Shuning.

Otherwise, how else could they have grasped Li Shuning’s whereabouts?

Last time, even so late at night, that person said Li Shuning hadn’t eaten, prompting him to invite her.

Hu Angran suddenly laughed. These people think so highly of themselves, so superior, not realizing how many plot against them secretly.

The company is his hard work, painstakingly built from scratch; he won’t allow any problems with it.

He will seize any opportunity to grow the company stronger.

As for that person, should the chance arise, he will definitely make them regret targeting his company.

Back home, Bai Xiaojun saw her sister-in-law cooking dinner.

From her understanding, only when this woman is in a good mood will she cook.

Since she injured her hand at the last barbecue, Bai Xiaojun hadn’t tasted this woman’s cooking.

Back then, she thought it was just a few meals; it didn’t matter. But now, smelling that fragrance, she was unable to move.

Bai Siyang hadn’t returned due to a social engagement, and tonight’s dinner, Li Shuning obviously didn’t expect Bai Xiaojun to return, so it became Bai Xiaojun’s gain.

After eating, Bai Xiaojun watched the puppet.

"Sister-in-law, shall we chat?"

The puppet glanced at Bai Xiaojun. "Alright."

"Sister-in-law, I’m sorry for being hostile toward you before. As a child, I always followed my brother around; I saw him as my idol, the most important person to me. When he married you, I couldn’t even attend. Honestly, I felt quite regretful."

"Maybe I was too clingy to my brother, so seeing how close he is with sister-in-law, leaving no room for anyone else, I felt a bit of jealousy, which led to my foolishness in getting myself hurt that time."

"But, sister-in-law, believe me, I truly didn’t paint my nails; I’m baffled myself."

The puppet smiled gently. "Little sister, it’s okay. We’re all family, getting along well is good for everyone, isn’t it?"

"Yes, sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you about my brother from before. Haha, my brother was quite charming; many girls used to chase after him. Sister-in-law better keep a close eye on him!"

The puppet pretended to be curious. "Really? Then, tell me about your brother’s past, little sister?"
