Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 714: I’m Using Voice Input
Chapter 714: Chapter 714: I’m Using Voice Input
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Mingyu, who appeared deeply hurt, and couldn’t find the right words for a moment.
Maybe it was that damn plot that tore their family apart.
Originally, everyone should be as harmonious and happy as they now appeared.
"Second Uncle, you don’t have to feel guilty towards me, it was what I should have done," Jiang Li said. "You coming back safely is what matters most. We’ll have plenty of time to make it up to everyone."
"But..." Jiang Li was genuinely curious. "Didn’t you think of contacting Second Aunt and the others while you were abroad? At least to stop them from worrying."
"I did contact them!" Jiang Mingyu’s face flushed with urgency. "At first, when I just went abroad, I thought about Ah Lan every single day, but I happened to lose my phone at that time. Getting a new SIM card in Africa was very difficult, so I wrote letters, every single day. But I never received a single reply."
Later, he found out that his so-called die-hard fan assistant, who was supposed to support him, had already developed an obsession by then.
His plan was flawless.
The phone had been stolen by the assistant, and the letters intercepted secretly; all to cut off his contact with his family, making him feel abandoned by the whole world, leaving him with no choice but to depend on the assistant and obediently do as he was told.
But when the assistant later realized he couldn’t control him at all, he started harboring thoughts of murder against him.
It wasn’t until he connected to Jiang Li’s live stream, exposing the assistant legally, that he discovered this enormous blunder.
Afterward, he thought of reconnecting with Shen Lan and the others, but Shen Lan had already blocked him on all accounts, and changed her contact information.
The assistant had also long since deleted the contact information of everyone else, leaving no trace.
"Oh, right." Jiang Mingyu pulled out his old-fashioned mobile phone. "After returning to the country, I did manage to get Ah Lan’s contact information, and I have been calling and texting her, but..."
Jiang Mingyu hung his head in disappointment, "She probably got too hurt by me. She didn’t reply to any of it and later blocked me."
"What messages did you send? Let me see."
Jiang Li took his phone.
Seeing the old flip phone, she couldn’t help but frown.
"Second Uncle, please don’t tell me you were tricked into buying this phone by someone."
"No, no," Jiang Mingyu quickly waved his hands, a little embarrassed. "I’m just not used to smart phones..."
From the age of fifteen when he debuted, Shen Lan took care of everything for him.
Aside from performing, he spent all his time holed up in his studio creating, with absolutely no social life.
Except for dining out with Shen Lan.
Now, Jiang Li completely understood why her Second Uncle was so "naive."
While others were exploring the world during their prime years, he was entirely immersed in studying song lyrics and compositions.
And Shen Lan had spoiled him, never allowing him to handle anything but singing.
Indeed, becoming famous at a young age is not always a good thing.
Having an utterly committed and overbearing manager is even less so.
Jiang Li could only look through the messages sent before Shen Lan blocked him, and she instantly understood why he had been blocked.
Just a few days ago, Shen Lan mentioned to her in conversation that she had been harassed by someone recently.
The person was sending her baffling messages and even called to threaten her.
She had considered reporting to the police but got busy and forgot, so she decided to block the person outright.
And now, Jiang Li finally saw those "harassing messages"—
[Lan, how are, are you, Mom, I miss you very much, I have a lot to tell you, are you available?]
[? May I know who is this?]
[I am Ming Yu.]
[?]
Then another conversation followed—
[Hey, hey what’s, listen to me, are you mad, mad at me?]
[You are crazy. Who are you?]
[I, I am Ming Yu.]
[? You must be sick. I’m blocking you.]
Jiang Li: "....."
"Is this what you sent?"
Jiang Mingyu nodded blankly.
"I, I’m not very good at typing, all of it was voice input."
Jiang Li: ".........."
It seems Second Uncle is quite confident in his Mandarin.
She herself is amazed by the power of genetics; both her Second Uncle and Xiao Shixu stammer, yet they sing songs that are lovelier than the rest.
Jiang Li quickly got rid of these eye-watering messages.
"Did Second Aunt not recognize you when you called her?"
Jiang Mingyu hung his head again, looking dejected, "She, she probably didn’t."
"When did you call, and what did you say?"
Jiang Mingyu remembered clearly, "It was, it was when you were not at home. Once, Ah Lan was bullied at a drinking party. I had some people teach those men a lesson, then, worried about her, I made a call."
"I was too nervous at the time and spoke holding my breath, asking if she was okay, and told her not to go to those places alone in the future."
Jiang Li: "......."
It came back to her.
Second Aunt had complained to her about that.
After drinking with some bosses, she received a harassing call. The person even threatened her not to go out alone, which scared her enough to almost call the police on the spot.
She really wanted to understand how her Second Uncle and Second Aunt started dating and eventually gave birth to Jiang Shixu.
Jiang Li, lost for words, handed the phone back to Jiang Mingyu.
"Second Uncle, you should just rest well these few days, and don’t try to find Second Aunt so easily."
If he tried again, the couple’s reunion might be in a police station.
Jiang Mingyu obediently nodded his head.
Jiang Li seriously suspected that Xiao Shixu’s personality might not be due to autism, but more likely it was hereditary.
"As for Shi Xu..." she said, "you probably don’t have to worry about him for the time being, he’s gone to a talent show."
"I know about that," Jiang Mingyu nodded again. "I’ve been watching the live stream, he’s impressive, much braver than I was back then."
In fact, he had been discovered by a talent scout when he was just over ten.
At that time, the scout was extremely encouraging for him to audition and debut.
However, people from the older generation had prejudices against such endeavors, and coupled with being extremely introverted, he ended up missing out on that opportunity.
Xiao Shixu was indeed much better than him. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Thinking of this, Jiang Mingyu looked at Jiang Li again with a complex and sorrowful expression.
"He has become what he is today, and you must have contributed a lot, given that incident back then caused him a lot of harm..."
Jiang Li was startled, and finally asked, "What... exactly happened back then?"
At that time, she was in high school.
Having frequently gotten into trouble, the old man from her family sent her away to a boarding school, where she could only come home once every six months.
It was during her school term when something seemed to have happened at home.
It was also because of that incident that the friction between her Second Uncle’s family and the old man grew, and Jiang Shixu’s condition also worsened during that period.
