Little Cannon Fodder is Really Panicking [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 32: The Second World (8) [Part 3]

At that moment, Zhuo Rui had a feeling that Ji Mo was a madman. Thinking of the words she said, his decision to pursue her crumbled a lot. Clearly, she looked like a well-behaved and soft girl, and she should be the easiest to tame among his targets. But now she was acting like a thorn in his side. The other party seemed to not be afraid of anything, so should he give up the plan? Nevertheless, he wouldn’t let her have an easy time in this industry, even if he gave up his plan to take her down.

“Since Miss Ji is disinterested, then I won’t bother you any longer.” Zhuo Rui maintained his last shred of gentlemanly demeanor and turned to leave. It would be better to give up on this target. He had already wasted too much time on her, and it wasn’t worth it.

System No. 444: [He might not have any intention towards you anymore, but he will surely find other methods to clean you up. Host No. 44, you’re just a small cannon fodder, so even if you escaped the previous dangers, as long as you don’t have enough halo like the big villain halo from the previous world’s Chu Wei, you will still encounter various dangers and troubles.]

[You can do it! I’ll always support you.]

“Forget it, you’re just good at shouting slogans. If I have to deal with something, I don’t care. As long as I can live.”

System No. 444: [Do you understand the ways of the entertainment industry?]

Ji Mo: “A bit.”

System No. 444: [I have a feeling that it won’t take long before you will be hacked online.]

“Whatever.”

System No. 444: [You won’t be able to be a salted fish anymore because you will be criticized by the netizens by then.]

“I don’t browse Weibo, and I don’t spend much time online. The only thing that can make me focused is food.” Ji Mo’s unconcerned attitude put System No. 444 at ease. Sure enough, Host No. 44 had a strong heart. He doesn’t need to be anxious at all.

“Ji Mo.” Yun Luo’s voice rang from afar. Apparently, she got out of the car and came over because Ji Mo was taking so long to arrive. 

Ji Mo walked in her direction. Her face showed a sweet smile as she moved. Gone was her previously indifferent and disdainful appearance when insulting a person by saying he was a shit.

Now her face was full of embarrassment and guilt. “Ms. Yun, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”

“Let’s go. The two little ones got news that you’re coming over, and they’re all waiting. They know your favorite foods, so they’re guarding the kitchen and having the chefs prepare them.” Done saying this, Yun Luo didn’t speak anymore.

However, a hint of a contemplative expression flashed across the bottom of her eyes. Earlier, she had seen Ji Mo talking to Zhuo Rui over there. At first, she felt a bit angry, similar to how she feels when someone else uses her favorite lipstick.

Before she could get out of the car, she saw Zhuo Rui’s face suddenly turn sour. Despite the fact that she couldn’t clearly hear what he was saying, she could sense that he was trying to restrain himself.

At that time, when her eyes landed on Ji Mo, she was very perplexed. The sweet girl had suddenly turned into a domineering and ruthless young lady, which astonished Yun Luo.

This Ji Mo was very unlike the one she was familiar with.

She didn’t know what Ji Mo had said, but she could sense that Zhuo Rui seemed to be getting angrier.

She also noticed that before Zhuo Rui turned around to leave, he said a few words to Ji Mo, but she didn’t even bother to raise her head. Instead, she casually admired her beautiful fingers, perhaps looking at her newly done nails.

In the end, Zhuo Rui went away, and after waiting for over a minute as a time interval, Ji Mo also left. Ji Mo’s face had completely reverted back to the cute and sweet girl she was before.

However, after witnessing the previous scene, Yun Luo couldn’t look straight at Ji Mo’s sweet smile.

“Miss Yun, aren’t you leaving? Are you waiting for someone else?” Ji Mo sat in the co-pilot seat, still having that sweet smile as she looked at Yun Luo.

Just like before, she was still a cute, gentle, and pretty girl.

But in Yun Luo’s mind, the image of the arrogant, indifferent, and cold girl from before couldn’t fade away.

Yun Luo glanced at Ji Mo and started the car calmly. “Let’s go.”

She constructed a speculation in her mind: All people have their own faces, and it must be because Zhuo Rui had done a bad thing to Ji Mo that caused her to be furious. When people are angry, they behave differently from their usual selves.

“I seem to have seen Zhuo Rui walking over from your direction just now. Did he come to look for you?” Yun Luo inquired carefully. She was still a bit angry at first, but now that anger had dissipated, which was very odd.

“Yes.” Ji Mo felt that there was no need to hide and admitted it openly.

Yun Luo tightened her grip on the steering wheel. “What did he want with you?”

“He wanted me to give him a chance.”

“Oh, really?” Yun Luo inwardly felt uncomfortable. Her previous anger surged, and her heart was once again engulfed by anger.

“Zhuo Rui is young and seems to be quite popular among girls like you.”

“I don’t like him.” Ji Mo shook her head.

“So… you rejected him?” Yun Luo’s heart felt a lot more relieved now, and the corner of her lips curled faintly.

“Yes, but I may have been a bit harsh in my words,” Ji Mo said. “There might be some trouble coming my way because of it.” She was just sharing her thoughts. Then she noticed Yun Luo’s concern about this matter. It couldn’t be that she had taken a fancy to Zhuo Rui, could it?

Earlier, she could sense that Ms. Yun was very nervous, probably because of Zhuo Rui.

“Miss Yun, there are a lot of people who are more deserving to be with you. I personally think that Zhuo Rui is not suitable for you.” Ji Mo started to sow discord. “Ms. Yun, you have great abilities, you should investigate him. I won’t say much, but I have a bad feeling about him. If you don’t believe me, just observe. Maybe someone will try to smear my reputation or even cause trouble with my work.”

A crease appeared on Yun Luo’s forehead. “He wants to cause trouble for you?”

“Love can easily blind people. Ms. Yun, you might not want to investigate him because you want to pursue a simple love. However, this industry is full of complexity, and the Yun family has a large business. So you better investigate him first and understand his character.”

Yun Luo: She doesn’t like Zhuo Rui ah!
