Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 674 Staring at Shu Yan

Wen Jiaojiao was about to say something else, but Jiang Li stopped her.

"Since it’s like this, you should head back soon. It’s really not good to let an elderly person stay home alone."

Shu Yan apologized again, then began to pack up her things.

However, before she could finish, the waiter knocked on the door and entered.

"Is Ms. Shu Yan here? Someone outside is looking for you."

Shu Yan froze for a moment, then lifted her head and saw a familiar figure. Her expression immediately stiffened, and she hurriedly walked forward, lowering her voice and saying, "Why did you come here?"

It was none other than Shu Yan’s husband, Fang Wenzhe.

Jiang Li had glanced at this man from a distance before and remembered him, but he was not familiar with him, and looked somewhat bewildered at the man in a black suit standing at the doorway.

Fang Wenzhe had an unpleasant expression on his face and immediately began questioning Shu Yan.

"You said you’d be back home in an hour, right? Why have you stayed so long?!"

Shu Yan’s expression was somewhat awkward, but she patiently explained in a soft voice, "We hadn’t seen each other for a long time and got carried away talking. Your timing is perfect, let me introduce you."

She quickly pulled her husband into the private room, forcing a strained smile, "This is my husband, Fang Wenzhe. You might have seen him before."

Then she introduced Jiang Li and the others one by one.

Fang Wenzhe’s demeanor didn’t ease much; he even seemed impatient and merely greeted them coldly before grabbing Shu Yan’s hand.

"I’ll take Shu Yan now, you guys continue."

Saying this, he disregarded Shu Yan’s discomfort, forcefully pulling her out.

As he stepped out of the door, Fang Wenzhe didn’t forget to turn back and warn them, "Shu Yan is different from you all, she has a family. It’s one thing for you people to hang out and have crazy fun, but don’t drag her into it so frequently." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Then he turned and left with a stern face.

Their arguing voices stretched endlessly down the empty corridor—

"Fang Wenzhe, are you sick? Why talk so rudely? They are all my friends!"

"Heh, what friends? They hang out with you all day long, what kind of good friends are they? I’m your husband, I’m your family, and you should listen to me!"

"Well, you also shouldn’t have been so rude just now!"

"How was I rude? I....."

Jiang Yan and Wen Jiaojiao suddenly stood up.

Jiang Yan even rolled up his sleeves, ready to confront Fang Wenzhe.

"What kind of man is this, daring to challenge me like that?!"

This time, Wen Jiaojiao rarely aligned with Jiang Yan.

"Damn it, what crap is he? Making cryptic statements at us? How did Shu Yan end up with such garbage for a husband? What have we done to him?"

Jiang Li held back the two of them.

"Calm down."

"How can we stay calm? You can tell Shu Yan must have been mistreated by this guy at home all the time. No wonder she never comes out when we call her."

Yet Jiang Li calmly said, "Even an honest official has difficulty settling household affairs; the most tangled of all relationships is that between spouses. Since this is their family matter, it’s best if we don’t interfere."

He Yun nodded, "Ah Li is right, meddling might only worsen Shu Yan’s situation if we upset Mr. Fang."

Wen Jiaojiao reluctantly sat down but still looked frustrated.

"How could Sister Yan, such a good person, fall for such a creep?"

Qi Tianyu also nodded in agreement.

Although it was their first time dealing with Mr. Fang, they all, without exception, disliked this person.

Jiang Li watched the two people leave for a long time before finally speaking thoughtfully, "Qi, have you been free lately?"

Qi Tianyu was taken aback but still answered truthfully, "I’m quite free. I’ve finished recording ’All-Round Brain,’ and I don’t have any schedules before the New Year. There’s also nothing much at school, so I probably won’t go back to Yanjing for the time being."

Although he hadn’t graduated yet, his family was in the Capital and he worked there, so most of his school courses were completed online, except when he absolutely had to fly back to deal with something.

But their internship period was approaching, and there weren’t many courses left, so he was even less tense about it.

"In that case, if you’re free, help me keep an eye on Shu Yan," Jiang Li said. "Her luck hasn’t been good lately, and she might run into trouble."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tianyu immediately became anxious. "Okay, Sister Li, I’ll keep an eye on her!"

It wasn’t long before Shu Yan also apologized to everyone in the group chat, but then there was no more news from her.

Although there had been some unpleasantness, no one took this minor episode to heart, and they continued to chat for a long time before reluctantly leaving the private room.

It was already four o’clock in the afternoon when they left the restaurant. Wen Jiao Jiao didn’t dare keep Jiang Li any longer and had the driver take them straight back to the Jiang family home.

Lin Manru had heard the news early in the morning and had been waiting at the door since three o’clock.

Seeing the car approaching, she excitedly said to the maid behind her, "Miss is coming back, hurry up and help with the luggage later."

"Aunt Li, you quickly go check the soup I’ve stewed in the kitchen; serve it now so Lili can drink it right when she comes in."

"Is Miss’s room all tidy? Make sure to change to new bed sheets."

"...."

As soon as the car door opened, Lin Manru busily greeted them.

"Lili, you’re finally back."

Jiang Li got out of the car and took Lin Manru’s hand.

"Mom, I’m back."

Lin Manru looked her over carefully, her heart aching, "You really have lost weight. I knew from watching the live stream that you weren’t sleeping or eating well there. I’ve been worried for a month. Today, I even had Aunt Li cook a whole table full of dishes so you can eat more tonight."

Jiang Li smiled, "Mom, I’m fine, don’t worry. How have you been lately? Nothing’s wrong at home, right?"

"Everything’s fine, you don’t know—" Lin Manru was saying when she noticed Ji Yanbai following behind Jiang Li and paused, "This is...."

Lately, the internet had been buzzing about her daughter dating a wealthy man with the surname Gu on the show, and even her friends often asked her about it.

Could this be that Mr. Gu?

Why did he come over with her?

He’s not as handsome as he looks on TV.

"Mom, this is Ji Yanbai, my bodyguard," Jiang Li explained. "Please ask Uncle Jiang to tidy up that small house in the backyard for him to stay in later."

Lin Manru nodded, relieved, "So he’s a bodyguard. I’ve been thinking of finding you a bodyguard recently too, and it’s good you’ve taken care of it yourself. I’ll talk to Uncle Jiang about it later."

Good, it’s not that Mr. Gu.

Her daughter had finally become so affectionate and cute, she couldn’t let her be fooled by those lousy men!

Ji Yanbai briefly greeted Lin Manru and then intentionally started to observe the situation at the Jiang family.

Seeing Jiang Li working so hard on the show and being so meticulous about money, he had thought she was from a financially troubled family.

But it turned out she was actually a rich young lady.

So why did she have to strive so hard on that show?
