Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work Chapter 424: Frustration

Yi Roujing saw everything clearly from a distance. She also noticed Guo Xiangxiang trying on clothes earlier. Yang Junshuai gave Guo Xiangxiang the first red dress, and to be honest, it was a great choice. Guo Xiangxiang looked best in that dress.

Yi Roujing didn’t let them see her; she sneakily led Baozi and Zhang Yaen away, saying, "Let’s go have lunch."

Sotis, chance encounters seem destined. Just as Yi Roujing, Baozi, and Zhang Yaen reached the entrance of the state-run restaurant, they saw Liu Xiaowei and her group coming from the opposite side.

"Are you guys following us? Why are you everywhere we go?" Liu Xiaowei glared at Zhang Yaen, rolling her eyes and pouting, clearly displeased.

"Hurry inside and eat, shut your mouth so my ears can have so peace." Yi Roujing clicked her tongue and retorted back, then led the way into the state-run restaurant.

"What does she an? Does she know who I am? Does she know who my dad is?" Liu Xiaowei, with her fiery temper, couldn’t hold back her anger any longer after being talked back to by Yi Roujing several tis today.

"You, stop there!" Liu Xiaowei chased after Yi Roujing and the others into the state-run restaurant and imdiately spotted Liu Guibang and his group coming down from the second floor.

"Dad." Liu Xiaowei’s expression changed instantly from fierce to pitiful as she ran over to Liu Guibang, "Dad, soone bullied ."

Liu Guibang doted on his youngest daughter, "Who would dare bully you? Go greet your Uncle Wang and them."

Liu Guibang introduced Wang Chengdong and his group to Liu Xiaowei.

Though Liu Xiaowei was willful, she was from an influential family and understood the situation. Even if she didn’t know Wang Chengdong and the other two uncles, she recognized Ji Huaijun and a few others as her father’s leaders.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Ji..." Liu Xiaowei called out sweetly.

"Uncle." Chai Guoqing respectfully followed behind Liu Xiaowei when he saw Liu Guibang, recognizing Ji Huaijun and the others. He was so excited seeing Wang Chengdong too, so after Liu Xiaowei greeted everyone, he eagerly called out to Liu Guibang. However, cleverly, he didn’t address Wang Chengdong and the others since he was here as Liu Xiaowei’s date, not Officer Chai.

"Haha, leaders, this is Guoqing, my daughter’s boyfriend, and he’s also a mber of our public security system." Liu Guibang introduced Chai Guoqing with a smile and praised him heavily. Chai Guoqing listened with excitent, nodding and bowing to Wang Chengdong and the others.

If Yi Roujing hadn’t seen Wang Chengdong today, she might not have gone up to say hello. But since Wang Chengdong clearly spotted her and was walking over, she had to step forward first, "What a coincidence, Uncle Wang is here for a al too."

"Roujing, does Baozi still rember Grandpa Wang?" Wang Chengdong looked at Baozi standing next to Yi Roujing, kindly teasing him.

"Hello, Grandpa Wang. We just t the day before yesterday." Baozi, with a good mory, replied promptly.

Wang Chengdong was delighted and picked the child up in his arms, "Look at him, Ancheng’s son, like a spitting image. I’ve had the honor of eting Minister Xu, and his eyebrows and eyes are just like him too."

"Roujing, you ca late. Ancheng and a friend, Little Dao, Old Ji’s youngest son, just left not long ago."

Wang Chengdong warmly inquired about Zhang Yaen, who ca with Yi Roujing, and upon learning they were college roommates, he praised them generously and paid for their al.

"Uncle Wang, you already treated us last ti, how can we..." Yi Roujing felt a bit embarrassed.

"Hey, you guys rarely co to Dongji City. I, as the host, can’t even treat you youngsters to a few als? Don’t save Uncle Wang’s money." Wang Chengdong laughed cheerfully. This ti he paid out of his own pocket since everyone was watching, he couldn’t use public funds.

Liu Xiaowei initially wanted to complain about Yi Roujing and Zhang Yaen, but given the situation, she refrained, feeling wronged in her heart. Until after Wang Chengdong and her dad left, their al wasn’t paid for.

"Don’t think you can be so arrogant just because you know people." Liu Xiaowei still couldn’t help but boast herself, trying to dampen the other’s spirits.

"I’ll give those words back to you." Yi Roujing glanced at Liu Xiaowei, "I’m just letting it go because you’re not very smart. If you provoke more, I’ll report you and have soone give your dad a hard ti."

"Your dad doesn’t have much power anymore, let’s see how cocky you can be then." Yi Roujing snorted lightly, proudly leading Zhang Yaen and Baozi upstairs.

"You, you..." Liu Xiaowei was stopped by Chai Guoqing, "Xiaowei, think about Uncle, don’t be impulsive."

Chai Guoqing was smarter than Liu Xiaowei. Judging from Wang Chengdong’s attitude towards Yi Roujing, he could tell their family had connections, especially when Wang Chengdong ntioned "Minister Xu." If his guess was right, Chai Guoqing felt a chill down his back, grateful he hadn’t said anything offensive. From Yi Roujing’s words to Liu Xiaowei, it seed they wouldn’t hold a grudge.

"Feeling really aggrieved, not sure if they truly have backing." Liu Xiaowei swallowed her pride.

Wang Manling had been watching from the side. Whether it was Liu Xiaowei or when Yi Roujing approached to greet, she didn’t move, because she kept her eyes on Ji Huaijun. Ji Yongdiao and Ji Huaijun looked similar, and they had just ntioned "Dao," who appeared to be the leader’s son.

Wang Manling was so frightened her face turned pale. After a quick farewell to Liu Xiaowei and Chai Guoqing, she rushed out. She needed to find a way to scrape together so money, or her job might really be gone.

Ji Yongdiao in the City Governnt Courtyard had just received money from his dad, and then imdiately got the 108 yuan debt from Wang Manling. Everything was finally settled.

"I’m sorry." While Yi Roujing and the others were eating, Chai Guoqing ca to apologize on behalf, toasting with tea instead of wine. Yi Roujing didn’t say much, and neither did Zhang Yaen. They treated him like air, letting him float by.

"Roujing, want to co over to my house?" After the al, Zhang Yaen invited Yi Roujing and her son to visit her ho, and the three of them went to the staff quarters of the municipal hospital.

"Grandma Qin, is Little He out for a walk again?" As they walked under the staff dormitory building, Zhang Yaen called out to an elderly person and a child ahead.

The two turned around, and Yi Roujing, holding Baozi, paused for a mont, staring directly at the young girl supporting the elderly lady dressed in a gray traditional cloth attire with a warm smile on her face.

"Sister Yaen."

"It’s Yaen."

The elderly lady and the young girl greeted Zhang Yaen simultaneously. The young girl turned to see Yi Roujing and Baozi standing not far behind Zhang Yaen, nodding and smiling at them with a face full of pure youthful innocence.
