Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 111: Messenger

Li Xipei is a clever woman, adept at manipulating others. After getting Wen Chaokuan’s permission, she let Li Xijun seek out his disreputable friends, intending to set up Yi Roujing with a lover. Even if it didn’t work out, disgusting someone would still bring joy.

"Sister, Brother Wen wants us to deal with that educated youth named Xia Xingchen, not Yi Roujing." Li Xijun was a bit puzzled. "You don’t like the Ding Family, isn’t Brother Wen going to help us deal with them?"

"Dealing with one is dealing with both; they’re always together anyway, getting rid of both at once isn’t bad." Li Xipei said flatly.

"Sister, leave Ding Ancheng’s wife to me. It would be better for me to get involved than let someone else have the advantage." Li Xijun said with a lewd smile, which made Li Xipei furrow her brow.

"You can’t." Li Xipei replied seriously, "Ding Ancheng is difficult, and Yi Roujing knows you. As long as she’s alive, you’d be targeted by Ding Ancheng; it’s unnecessary, listen to me."

"Sister—" Li Xijun complained, "How could I be any worse than Ding Ancheng?"

"No means no. If you act, stop considering me your sister." Li Xipei said with a stern expression.

Li Xijun, despite his dissatisfaction, could only agree.

"Li Xijun, I’m serious. If you ruin my plans, I won’t let you off." If Li Xijun became a barrier between her and Ding Ancheng, she wouldn’t spare him, even if he was her brother.

Li Xipei’s eyes were so cold and vicious that Li Xijun shivered, hurriedly assuring he wouldn’t touch Yi Roujing.

"Brother Xijun, Sister Xipei."

"Sister, Li YunGen from our team is also like my little brother." Li Xijun proudly introduced.

Li YunGen was older than both Li Xipei and Li Xijun, yet he would call them sister and brother every time they met, which greatly satisfied Li Xijun.

Li Xipei instantly recalled, "I remember your brother hasn’t married yet?"

Li YunGen replied indifferently, "He’s just a blockhead, which girl would like him."

"I can introduce a match to your brother, but I’m not sure if he’d have the guts to accept." Li Xipei curved her lips, having thought of a good method, killing three birds with one stone.

"Sister Xipei, forget about my brother, why don’t you introduce someone to me?" Li YunGen said nonchalantly, "Preferably someone as beautiful as Sister Xipei."

Li Xipei’s smiling eyes stared directly at Li YunGen, making him step back a few paces, "Sister Xipei, I’m just kidding, I’m just kidding, who could compare to..."

"I don’t like being compared to others." Li Xipei’s sentence effectively silenced Li YunGen, although outside her sight, Li YunGen’s eyes turned grim.

"I’m going to make a call."

Li Xipei didn’t call Wen Chaokuan, but instead called Song Yiluo, as she knew the number of the Dingping Production Team.

"Hello?" Song Yiluo answered the phone with joy, thinking it might be from family.

"Song Yiluo, it’s Li Xipei."

Song Yiluo tightened her grip on the receiver, "What do you want with me?"

"I heard you have lingzhi?" Li Xipei asked with a smile.

Song Yiluo’s expression changed drastically, "Did Wen Chaokuan tell you?"

"Not exactly, it was something I overheard when Brother Wen was talking to someone." Li Xipei and Wen Chaokuan were cooperatives, and she had no intention of damaging his relationship with Song Yiluo. She wasn’t blind; she could see Wen Chaokuan liked Song Yiluo.

"Was the lingzhi Xia Xingchen’s also given by you?" Li Xipei inquired.

"What?" Song Yiluo was quite surprised, then recalled with a smile, "It should have been sent by her family, she’d get traditional medicine every month before; she wasn’t very healthy."

Li Xipei laughed at this because Wen Chaokuan had told her about how Xia Xingchen’s stepmother had people abduct Xia Xingchen. Apparently, Song Yiluo was oblivious to this, well protected indeed.

"Tomorrow, I hope you can find a way to get Xia Xingchen to..." Li Xipei explained her intentions.

Listening to the call, Song Yiluo’s heart raced, her hands tightly gripping, trembling slightly. She understood that action was imminent. Although she didn’t know why Xia Xingchen was involved, it didn’t matter; Li Xipei certainly wouldn’t let go of Yi Roujing.

But if she got implicated and things didn’t work out, what would happen to her?

"I..."

"You don’t necessarily have to take action yourself, just have someone else pass the message, and we’ll be waiting at the location." Li Xipei finished with a laugh and hung up the phone.

"Educated Youth Song." Song Yiluo almost dropped the phone’s receiver.

"Brother Xingye." Song Yiluo greeted Ding Xingye stiffly with a smile.

"Your family called? Is your grandpa alright?" Ding Xingye asked with concern.

Song Yiluo shook her head with a smile and once again expressed her gratitude to Ding Xingye, then excused herself, saying there was something at school, and hurried away.

Who to find? What excuse to use? Song Yiluo was now solely focused on this. Oh, yes, lingzhi, Xia Xingchen wanted lingzhi, she could use it as bait.

But who to find...

Song Yiluo stopped in her tracks, turning to look at Ding Xingye.

Ding Xingye didn’t expect his eyes to meet Song Yiluo’s, and in her gaze, he saw a fervor that made his heart warm.

"Yiluo, what’s wrong?" Ding Xingye couldn’t resist stepping forward a few paces, calling her intimately in a low voice.

"Brother Xingye, I, I want to ask you for a favor." Song Yiluo said shyly.

"Just say it." Ding Xingye grinned, genuinely pleased inside, because she didn’t refute when he called her Yiluo; did that mean he could call her that in the future?

"I, I want to give a piece of lingzhi to Xingchen." Song Yiluo said, blushing slightly.

Ding Xingye’s heart warmed, the girl he liked was indeed kind-hearted, "All that lingzhi belongs to you, you can give it to whomever you want."

"Brother Xingye, those were mostly found by you." Song Yiluo said earnestly, then took out a neatly folded handkerchief from her pocket, "Brother Xingye, this money, you really must accept it, it was sent by my family, and they’ve always told me to give it to you."

"There’s really not much money, if you don’t accept it, Brother Xingye, how could I continue to owe you favors." Song Yiluo deliberately pursed her lips slightly, her eyes moist with tenderness.

After much persuasion, Ding Xingye finally accepted it.

"Brother Xingye, Xingchen is a stubborn person. If we help her unconditionally, she won’t accept it. But if Brother Xingye steps in, it’ll be fine. Aunt Kaiying has always been warm-hearted; at that time, you can have Aunt Kaiying help mediate." Song Yiluo thoughtfully planned.

Ding Xingye considered it carefully and agreed.

"But Yiluo, I haven’t found any place with lingzhi anymore, if you give your lingzhi to Xia, what about your grandpa..."

"Brother Xingye, I’ve found one spot." Song Yiluo leaned in closer to Ding Xingye, speaking softly.

Ding Xingye couldn’t hear clearly because the sudden aroma disrupted his thoughts, enchanting him.
