Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!

Chapter 762: Cannon Fodder in the Real World (Part 8)

Jiang Xun removed his hat, his eyes filled with surprise.This definitely wasn’t a problem with his acting skills, after all, they’ve been playing this game since they were children, and everyone could easily be deceived.

Even Jiang Huan, who could identify them from the start, would become hesitant and confused when they played this game.

But Jiang Lai was very certain just now.

It seemed like her meticulously crafted performance today was just child’s play in her eyes.

Like a joke.

He pressed his lips together, unsure of what to say.

Under the starry roof of the car, his expression looked a bit complicated.

The entire way, the two remained silent, Jiang Xun silently turning the ring on his thumb, the blue crystal on it flashing brilliantly.

Once the car came to a steady stop, he looked at Jiang Lai.

"Have you always known, or did you just recently figure it out?"

"Does it really matter? Since you put on such a grand performance, the least I could do is give you some face; otherwise, revealing it straight to your faces would be quite embarrassing for you."

As she finished speaking, Jiang Lai reached out and patted Jiang Xun on the head.

"Still as cute as when you were little."

Jiang Lai liked children who spoke sweetly and had gentle temperaments, and Jiang Xun had been very good at pretending since he was young.

When they got home, Jiang Lai went straight to Jiang Li’s study to grab a computer, and when she inserted the card into her newly bought phone, the only contact there was Jiang Xun.

Before going to bed, Jiang Xun sent a text message over.

[Today was our fault]

[No worries, take me along to play next time]

At this moment, Jiang Xun looked at the reply, his expression solemn.

If Jiang Lai knew they had always been making a fool out of her, would she retaliate given her temper?

She definitely would.

It’s so annoying, Jiang Xun was never too keen on getting close to Jiang Lai.

After all, as long as she was around, he would forever bear the label of an illegitimate child living in the shadows.

But because they were close in age, she loved seeking them out to play since they were kids.

Later, the three of them attended the same university, with Jiang Lai as their senior, making it impossible for them to separate.

The years Jiang Lai was in a coma were the most carefree for him.

Though he occasionally missed the times they drank and ate barbeque together, he felt no sympathy for an heir like Jiang Lai, who was born with a halo.

He roughly knew what the three elder brothers were up to.

Knowing but pretending not to know.

And then watched as Jiang Lai boarded that ship.

Later the ship met disaster, everyone thought she was destined to die.

Unexpectedly, she was rescued and dramatically brought back to the Jiang Family.

Though it was bad news, the good news was she fell into a coma, becoming a vegetable, perhaps never to awaken again.

In a way, it was for the best.

The three brothers were spared the label of murderers, and everyone got what they wanted.

But contrary to their expectations, Jiang Lai woke up again.

Now, things became complicated.

At this moment, Jiang Zhuan pushed the door open and came in.

"How was it? She didn’t notice, right? Give me back the ring and earrings."

Jiang Xun stared at him, as if looking into a mirror.

"She noticed."

Jiang Zhuan’s eyebrows twitched, his voice unconsciously rising.

"Noticed? How is that possible?"

"My reaction was the same as yours, but unfortunately, she did notice, and she’s known we’ve been toying with her from the start."

Jiang Zhuan’s face was tense.

"How could it be... She’s been acting strange since she woke up, but how is it possible, how could she have noticed?"

"I don’t know, and I don’t care to know now, it’s not important anymore since our eldest brother and second brother are about to make their move."

Jiang Xun had been worn out all day and just wanted to sleep.

"Aren’t you curious how she distinguishes us?"

"What thoughts of a dying person are worth being curious about? Jiang Zhuan, I advise you not to approach Jiang Lai out of curiosity.

No matter what, she won’t live long."

Before the age of twenty-two, she’d either be dead or remain in a coma.

Jiang Zhuan said nothing, lying beside Jiang Xun, staring up at the ceiling, and finally murmured.

"Even our mom can’t tell us apart..."

——

"So, how do you distinguish between Jiang Xun and Jiang Zhuan?"

Even if the Heavenly King himself came, these two brothers seemed copy-pasted!

Even their hair was exactly the same!

Little Buding’s machine scan couldn’t tell the difference.

He even doubted the two brothers were a bug in this world, how else could there be such a contradiction in worldview?

There’s a saying that there aren’t even two identical leaves in the world, let alone two people without any differences at all.

Of course, the most amazing thing was still Jiang Lai.

She could recognize them at a glance.

The protagonist was supposed to recognize them; it was a plot setting’s protagonist halo.

Jiang Lai, how could she do it?

However, Little Buding wasn’t very surprised.

After all, Jiang Lai had done plenty of inexplicably irrational things, always able to create miracles and break the impossible, Little Buding was used to it.

"If you lived for a thousand years in different worlds, you’d be able to recognize them too."

The former Jiang Lai indeed couldn’t distinguish the two, but she knew only Jiang Xun would play with her most of the time, understanding clearly they often made a fool of her, but she didn’t care, so for years she just watched them pull these childish tricks in front of her.

Now that she’s lived nearly a millennium, seen a lot, experienced a lot, she’d developed some vision that others didn’t have.

Jiang Xun and Jiang Zhuan may look identical, but their eyes couldn’t hide what’s within.

Jiang Lai had a lot to accomplish, so she couldn’t be bothered to nitpick with them.

Opening her phone, sure enough, there was no network, not even the phone card could receive a signal.

It must have been Jiang Li and the others who blocked the signal here in advance, so even with communication equipment, she couldn’t contact the outside world.

It didn’t matter.

Jiang Lai tossed the phone onto the bed.

She had Little Buding anyway.

There was already a reply to the email, one of them was an international email from Switzerland.

Little Buding was just getting ready to show off its translation function when Jiang Lai glanced at it and spoke.

"Tell him we guarantee that we can complete the system upgrade and improvement within three months.

Oh right, ask how Louis has been doing lately."

Little Buding stared at Jiang Lai in a daze.

"What’s wrong? Can’t translate?"

"Of course I can, but when did you learn Romance language?"

Jiang Lai replied casually.

"I’ve known it since I was very young."

"Oh."

Little Buding silently helped her translate the email and send it, then watched Jiang Lai skillfully and adeptly handle several emails from all over the world.

The languages involved totaled up to five.

English, French, German, Italian, these were the basics, almost indistinguishable from her native language.

Jiang Lai noticed Little Buding’s sudden silence.

For the first time, she asked.

"What’s wrong? Bored?"
