Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 713: Uncle Will Owe You for Life
Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Uncle Will Owe You for Life
Jiang Li raised her head and was startled by Zhao Lang’s smiling eyes.
Seeing the phone that he hadn’t put away, she instantly understood everything.
"You’re that Mr. Zhao?"
"Who else?"
Zhao Lang pocketed his phone and walked over.
Jiang Mingyu just so happened to see him from the car and hurriedly got out and ran over.
"It’s, it’s you!"
Zhao Lang smiled faintly, "Long time no see, my savior."
He sized up Jiang Mingyu, "You look much healthier than when you were in country F."
Jiang Mingyu scratched his head awkwardly and then paused, "You two... know each other?"
Zhao Lang nodded, "I’ve known Ah Li for quite a while."
Jiang Mingyu was delighted and looked at Jiang Li with a hint of pride, "See, great-niece, didn’t I say he was reliable?"
Jiang Li gave him a glance, "You just got lucky this time."
Then she turned to Zhao Lang, "But what are you doing here?"
It couldn’t be a coincidence every time, right?
Zhao Lang wiped his nose guiltily.
"A friend of mine works at Dragon Mountain Police Station. He told me he saw you, so I came over. Glad you’re okay."
Jiang Mingyu frowned, his instincts told him that this man was definitely more than just an ordinary friend to Jiang Li.
Although Mr. Zhao was handsome, wealthy, and very reliable,
His great-niece was barely twenty years old!
He couldn’t just stand by and watch the only bloodline left by his big brother be snapped up like this.
So Jiang Mingyu mustered up his courage, took Jiang Li’s arm, and pulled her back.
"Mr. Zhao... we have another matter to attend to shortly, we’ll catch up with you later, we need to go now."
Zhao Lang had finally seen Jiang Li after so much trouble, there was no way he could let her go just like that, and immediately followed them.
"I’m also free now, if there’s anything I can help you with, just let me know."
Jiang Mingyu was about to refuse when Wen Jiaojiao, brimming with excitement, rolled down the car window and greeted Zhao Lang.
"Young Master Gu, what a pleasure, Lili and the others were about to go house hunting. There’s room in the car, come join us."
As she spoke, she opened the door for him.
Zhao Lang got in and casually invited Jiang Mingyu as well.
"Second Uncle, come with us."
Jiang Li: "....." Isn’t this guy too familiar?
Jiang Mingyu: "...." Why is he calling him second uncle? That’s so strange.
With the other party insisting, Jiang Mingyu naturally couldn’t say anything to turn him away and so just got into the car.
Yu Fei, sitting in another car on the street: "....."
Was he abandoned by his own young master again?
With Zhao Lang joining, the car suddenly felt a lot more crowded.
Ji Yanbai sensed the subtle atmosphere in the car and, to avoid continuing the awkward silence, quickly spoke up, "Miss, which community should we visit to see houses?"
Zhao Lang spoke before Jiang Li could, "Let’s go to Wanye, I have a few properties there that are currently unused, and you guys can use them if you need to."
Wen Jiaojiao inhaled sharply.
Wanye was considered a high-end community. Young Master Gu was truly the Crown Prince, casually mentioning several properties.
Thinking this, Wen Jiaojiao excitedly turned to Jiang Li, "Lili, why don’t we take a look? Wanye is close to your house too, and the security there is very good. It would be convenient since God Jiang lives there."
Since Jiang Li had already let Zhao Lang into the car, there was no reason not to take advantage of him.
She then glanced at Ji Yanbai, "Then let’s go."
"Thank you so much, Young Master Gu."
"No need to thank me," he replied. "It would just make us seem distant."
"Cough cough cough cough cough."
Wen Jiaojiao almost coughed up blood on the side.
If Gu Yu had no interest in Lili, she could eat this car!
She now had something to brag about to her group of girlfriends.
Lili’s uncle was Jiang Yu, the once Heavenly God of the music industry, and now she was being pursued by the future richest man.
To think she was the good friend of someone so awesome!
She was pretty awesome herself!
The car soon stopped at the Wanye parking lot, and Zhao Lang took them upstairs.
The real estate here was great, with the large flats having good lighting and virtually no defects.
Jiang Li was quite satisfied. After a tour, she looked at Jiang Mingyu.
"Uncle, what do you think?"
"I..." Jiang Mingyu glanced at Zhao Lang, "The house is really nice, but won’t we be...disturbing..."
"It’s fine," Zhao Lang said with a smile. "I won’t be disturbed. No one’s going to live here for now anyway. Plus, Uncle, you can move around freely without worrying about being recognized."
Wen Jiaojiao expressed her dissatisfaction. "Why? God Jiang’s fame is not something to ignore."
"Because the whole building is under my name, and no one lives here."
For a moment, everyone in the room fell silent.
Wen Jiaojiao almost knelt down.
So this was the power of money!
She even started to think that Zhao Lang looked handsomer than God Jiang!
"What about the rent?" Jiang Li approached him, "Young Master Gu, how much are you thinking?"
"Do we really need to talk about money between us?" Zhao Lang asked, sounding a bit disappointed.
Jiang Li chuckled, "Separate matters separately. I don’t plan on having him return the money you gave my uncle, so we still need to pay the rent."
"I see." Zhao Lang nodded, "Then let’s make it two thousand a month, just as a cleaning fee."
Wen Jiaojiao’s jaw dropped.
Such a big flat for two thousand a month???
Could she rent one too?
After the real estate transaction was settled, Zhao Lang soon had to leave for another matter.
Wen Jiaojiao couldn’t stay much longer either. Before leaving, she specifically pulled out the paper and pen she had struggled to find.
"God Jiang, could I get your autograph? Please, although my family already has many of your autographs, you’ve disappeared for so long, my mom insists you’ve renounced the secular world to become a monk. I’m going to show her this autograph right away!"
There had been too many discussions about Jiang Mingyu’s retirement from the circle.
Some said he had died suddenly, others that he had offended someone and was being hunted, and still others that he had retired to live in seclusion in the mountains.
After all, he was the only one who had retired during his peak in over a decade.
Retreating from the limelight during his career’s ascent, his presence was like that of a supreme first love. Whenever his music played anywhere in the world, it was enough to bring any music fan to tears.
Jiang Mingyu reluctantly signed his name, both laughing and crying.
It was the first time he had signed the name "Jiang Yu" since retiring.
Wen Jiaojiao hopped and skipped away, leaving the large room suddenly plunged into silence.
Jiang Li looked around and said, "It’s about time for me to go, too. You have money on you, right? Buy some living essentials to settle in a bit. After all, you’re going to live here for a month. I’ll leave Ji Yanbai with you."
Jiang Mingyu watched his mature, capable, and independent niece and felt a surge of emotion.
"Jiang Li, thank you..."
"I’ve seen the recent trending topics. I know you’ve done a lot for this family, especially for Ah Lan and the others."
"I let them down. Thank you for taking care of them, helping them while I was away... Uncle... I owe you for the rest of my life."
