Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work Chapter 327: No Friendship Without Fighting

"In the Cheng Family, she’s a treasure, but in my eyes, Yijin is nothing. What does she want, looking at the Jiang Family’s status? Do I have to compromise and accept her just because I don’t like her?" Jiang Bong scoffed, then turned to look in Yi Roujing’s direction. "Not even as pretty as this lady here."

"You’re not allowed to like my mom." Baozi suddenly stepped forward to block in front of Yi Roujing, glaring fiercely at Jiang Bong with his big eyes.

Jiang Bong was taken aback, then looked up and down, back and forth at the big and the small, his face full of surprise, "Little brat, she’s not your sister, she’s your mom?"

Baozi suddenly frowned, but his voice carried a childish tone, "I don’t like the way you call ."

Jiang Bong’s eyes widened, excitedly running towards Baozi. Yi Roujing pulled him behind her, completely shielding Baozi, "Comrade, you’re already a grown-up; you won’t argue with a child, right?"

"No arguing, no arguing, I just find him cute, interesting, I want a hug." Jiang Bong rubbed his hands together, eager to give it a try, his eyes sneakily peeking behind Yi Roujing.

Baozi peeked out to et Jiang Bong’s gaze, with a hint of disdain in his eyes as if looking at an idiot.

"Hey, big brother, this little brat is a real genius. I think he’s looking down on ." Jiang Bong turned to Ni Yanqing and said.

"Get to business, and leave when you’re done. What are you dawdling about?" Ni Yanqing ambled towards Jiang Bong, his eyes, however, were on Yi Roujing and Baozi.

Yi Roujing’s eyes quickly flickered with caution; this man was different from Jiang Bong, he carried an imposing aura, impossible to ignore. Judging by the way and force he walked, he was soone who practiced martial arts. Yi Roujing wasn’t confident she could beat him.

"Whiz——" The sound of wind breaking suddenly erupted, watching as Ni Yanqing’s fist swiftly rushed towards him. Yi Roujing’s pupils contracted sharply, her nerves reacting instinctively, quickly spinning around, picking up Baozi, and sidestepping to narrowly avoid the blow.

Yi Roujing’s expression beca serious, her eyes tightly fixated on Ni Yanqing, not missing the fleeting smile in his eyes, as if mixed with a touch of appreciation.

"Wow, big brother, this lady’s also a martial artist. She actually dodged your punch, better than ." Jiang Bong’s eyes were filled with even more interest.

"Mom, are you okay?" Baozi, being young, couldn’t keep up with the earlier scene, his mind was only worried about Yi Roujing.

"Xu Muyi." Baozi suddenly heard soone calling his na, turned his head, and saw it was the man who just threw a punch at his mom.

The wariness in Yi Roujing’s eyes deepened. It seed this man knew them, yet she didn’t know him, and this situation was really terrible.

"How do you know my na?" Baozi asked.

"Because I know your dad." Ni Yanqing suddenly curled his lips into a smile, "Sister-in-law, did I scare you? I just heard your skills were pretty good and wanted to greet you."

Yi Roujing certainly couldn’t easily trust the man.

"Big brother, you know them?" Jiang Bong was utterly surprised.

"Ancheng’s wife and son," Ni Yanqing said.

Jiang Bong’s pupils quivered, suddenly at a loss, "Big brother, you’re, you’re kidding , right?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Ni Yanqing glanced at Jiang Bong.

"Oh dear, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, they say no pain, no gain. I didn’t say anything offensive to upset you, did I?" Jiang Bong imdiately turned sycophantic.

"Other than being a bit too forward, it’s nothing much." Yi Roujing assessed fairly.

"That was a complint to my sister-in-law, a recognition of Ancheng’s good taste." Jiang Bong gave a thumbs up and then started extravagantly praising Yi Roujing and Baozi.

"So your na is Xu Muyi, such a lovely na..." Jiang Bong blinked and suddenly stopped, leaned closer to Baozi, and asked in a low voice, "Is it from your mom’s na Yi Roujing’s ’Yi’ and admiration’s ’Mu’?"

Baozi nodded, his resistance towards Jiang Bong lessening a bit because he clearly called out his mom’s na, and truthfully, Baozi didn’t feel any threat or dislike towards him.

"Hiss——" Jiang Bong stuck his tongue against his palate, he was genuinely surprised. That Smiling Tiger actually had such a pure mont, giving his son a na like this.

"Great na, truly great." Jiang Bong praised with a sweet touch of jealousy.

"Did Sister-in-law co to have a bit of fun with Baozi?" Ni Yanqing asked, "We’ve set up tents not far away, and there’s a grill cooking barbecue. Would you and Sister-in-law like to try it? Oh, by the way, Ancheng will be coming over later, and you guys can go ho together."

With so many of them, whether they’re trustworthy or not, the best choice now is to follow along obediently.

"Big brother, what about that group of people?" Jiang Bong nodded towards Cheng Yijin and the others with his chin.

"Bring them along and let them watch."

"As expected of big brother." Jiang Bong chuckled in his heart, signaling to the strong n surrounding the four of them with his eyes, the group started walking forward. It was only about two hundred ters away; entering the Maple Forest, more and more people appeared, two military-green tents were pitched in conspicuous spots, and two grills were smoking, with a delicate-looking girl of about seventeen or eighteen watching the grill.

"Why are you guys back only now?" The girl said with a hint of discontent.

"Were you getting anxious, Yan An?" Jiang Bong hurriedly stepped forward, took the fan from Ni Yan’an’s hand, and began fanning the grill, "Your Boming brother is here."

"Hey, who are they, wow, what a cute little baby." Ni Yan’an saw Baozi, stood up excitedly, and walked over, then crouched in front of Baozi, "Whose little baby are you?"

"The Xu Family’s." Baozi replied in a childish voice, he didn’t want to, but the voice was sothing he couldn’t control.

"Ancheng’s son!" Ni Yan’an exclaid with joy and surprise.

"Yep, my dad is Xu Ancheng." Baozi nodded.

"Wow, so cute, so cute, I didn’t expect Ancheng could have such an adorable little treasure..." Ni Yan’an looked up at Yi Roujing, hurriedly patted her own mouth, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, you must be the sister-in-law, Ancheng couldn’t do it alone, it’s all thanks to you, sister-in-law."

Yi Roujing was amused, her previously tense nerves relaxing a bit; with a girl in their camp, perhaps things weren’t as serious as she thought, maybe they were indeed friends with Xu Ancheng.

Rembering what Xu Ancheng ntioned before, that though so couldn’t attend his return to the Xu Family banquet, there were still many curious households, maybe they were among those families, after all, they could dismiss people like Cheng Yijin; even if not as powerful as the Cheng Family, they’re at least equivalent to a toothy tiger.

"Sister-in-law, can I hold him?" Ni Yan’an poked her index fingers together, thoughtful.

Yi Roujing looked down at Baozi, her eyes inquiring, and Baozi showed a slightly aggrieved expression, then reached out his arms toward Ni Yan’an.
