Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 767: Jiang, Jiang Yu?!
Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Jiang, Jiang Yu?!
Yu Li was there too!
Then, Zhao Lang felt a different kind of gaze and turned his head, locking eyes with He Yun.
There was an ambiguous emotion swirling in her eyes.
Back when they were filming in Chixia Village, Zhao Lang had sensed that He Yun might have feelings for Jiang Li.
And now, the way he was looking at him was half because of that, and perhaps half because of his appearance.
He Yun was a smart person, so it was normal for him to guess in that direction.
Thus, the next second, Zhao Lang naturally diverted his gaze and walked directly to the only empty seat at the table—opposite Jiang Li.
This table seemed to be specifically set by Jiang Li to host these good friends of hers, while her family members dined in the next restaurant.
Because of this, Zhao Lang was somewhat displeased.
Why was he also categorized as just a friend?
They had experienced many things that went beyond mere friendship.
Unfortunately, he was seated too far from Jiang Li, and during the meal, the others kept talking to Jiang Li, giving him no chance to interject.
Finally, the meal ended.
Just when Zhao Lang thought they could finally have a conversation, Jiang Li stood up again.
"Let’s move to the backyard later, there’s a performance tonight."
Bai Lu’s eyes widened.
A performance?
Jiang Li had even arranged a performance?
This banquet was truly worth it!
The winter nights in the Capital came especially early.
By now, it was completely dark outside.
Yet, the courtyard of the Jiang family was lit with warm yellow Chinese-style lanterns, making the surrounding winter scenery look exceptionally beautiful.
The other members of the Jiang family also gradually arrived, and from afar, when Shen Lan saw Zhao Lang, she was amazed.
So the esteemed Young Master Gu really did come!
Truly, she is her great-niece, so impressive!
Thus, she was the first to go forward and shake hands with Zhao Lang.
"Young Master Gu is young and promising to have spared the time to visit our humble home, what an honor."
Zhao Lang had already familiarized himself with the Jiang family and shook hands right back.
"Auntie flatters me, I’ve been wanting to visit for a while."
Shen Lan’s eyebrows lifted in delight.
How did he know she was Jiang Li’s aunt?
He knows so well yet plays it down!
Thinking this, Shen Lan gestured frantically with her eyebrows at Jiang Li.
The next second, like magic, Zhao Lang pulled out a small pouch from his body.
"This is a gift for you, Auntie, as it’s our first meeting."
Shen Lan squeezed with surprise.
Not only did the renowned Crown Prince visit, but he even brought her a gift.
Such a charming child.
Shen Lan did not refuse, she took the pouch and glanced inside; it was even a new Hermès necklace.
Lin Manru also got one, but hers was a limited edition.
After this, every Jiang family member received gifts.
Jiang Cheng looked at the limited-edition watch in his hand and couldn’t help but curse under his breath, "Sycophant!"
To think he came to curry favor with their family, too much!
Turning around, he saw Jiang Yan had already put the watch on his wrist.
Jiang Cheng frowned, "Hey, you’re bought off just like that?"
Jiang Yan shook his wrist, "This is a collector’s edition, you know, I couldn’t even get it before, and besides, Gu Yu seems like a decent guy."
He had seen everything that happened at the doorstep; this young man was fiercely protective of his sister.
Having the capability to protect his sister might not be a bad choice after all.
Because of this episode, Zhao Lang became even more popular with the Jiang family, and was surrounded by everyone in the center.
Zhao Lang seemed to enjoy it too, chatting about business with the patriarch one moment, and gossiping with Lin Manru the next.
Jiang Li sat in the back, her expression stern.
She finally understood why this guy had to come in.
It was to spy on the inside!
Soon, the performance began.
Unlike the opera and symphony music in the afternoon, the evening was filled with singers and dance performances.
Popular songs mingled with nostalgic ones, appealing to all ages.
However, as they listened, the expressions on some faces changed.
For instance, Shen Lan.
She recognized that most of the songs being performed were from her husband’s albums.
She had meticulously selected each one and knew them exceptionally well.
Thus, she instinctively looked towards Jiang Li.
Everything today had almost entirely been arranged by her niece, and she didn’t believe it was unintentional.
What was she trying to do?
Before she could voice her thoughts, Jiang Li grasped her hand first and softly said, "Second Aunt, don’t worry, just enjoy the music."
That simple sentence made Shen Lan even more restless.
A crazy thought rose in her mind.
But... how could it be possible?
Shen Lan felt a chill throughout her body until she heard that voice, and then she froze completely.
".....The deepest longing is not greater than the full moon; the deepest entanglement is not beyond the mortal world...."
This was the hugely popular song "Full Moon," with which Jiang Mingyu had won numerous awards in the past.
The song wasn’t the issue; it was the voice...
Even if turned to ashes, Shen Lan could recognize it.
It was definitely Jiang Mingyu!
Her heart started to race, and indeed, as the backing track ended, a figure slowly walked onto the stage.
The figure was much thinner than she remembered, but his eyes and demeanor had been envisioned repeatedly in her dreams.
Shen Lan gripped Jiang Li’s hand tightly, still somewhat in disbelief.
"How could this be...."
At this moment, other members of the Jiang Family realized it too; Jiang Mingchuan rushed onto the stage and grabbed the man’s shoulder.
"Second brother?!"
Jiang Mingyu choked up, "Mingchuan...."
"Second brother?! Is it really you?! How could this be?! You... you’ve come back?!"
The Old Master was shocked at the sight.
He had been cheerfully watching the performance but was now petrified.
The last time he had seen his son was four years ago when they had a massive argument that even got physical; the last image he had was of his son walking away angrily.
And now...
Jiang Zhao Yuan’s emotions were incredibly complex, unsure whether to feel joy or anger.
Shortly after, Lin Manru also rushed onto the stage, embracing Jiang Mingyu and bursting into tears.
"It’s good you’re back, it’s good you’re back."
The Jiang Family was mostly happy, but others were stunned.
Shang Shuyue stared at the man on stage for a long time, then checked her phone several times before stuttering, "Is... is this God Jiang, Jiang Yu?"
Jiang Yan, expressionless, responded, "Yes, my second uncle."
"You... you mean your second uncle is God Jiang?"
"Yes, is that strange?"
Shang Shuyue: ????
Isn’t it strange?!
That’s God Jiang!!!
The once hugely popular singer who vanished overnight, the legendary Jiang Yu!
Qi Tianyu and Bai Lu were also stunned.
"Holy shit, holy shit, dammit, God Jiang???"
Qi Tianyu frantically shook Wen Jiaojiao’s arm, "Do you see that? Jiang Yu! My idol!"
Wen Jiaojiao was too excited to speak.
Though she had met Jiang Mingyu before, she was still moved to tears at this moment.
"Of course, sob, sob, he’s my idol too!"
