Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 676: Third Uncle Will Buy It for You!

Jiang Zhao Yuan felt somewhat embarrassed by such a direct revelation.

Seeing that the issue had been perfectly resolved, Jiang Li stood up.

"Well, if Grandpa doesn’t need anything else, I’ll go down first."

"Wait a minute," Jiang Zhao Yuan raised his hand to stop her.

Jiang Li turned around, looking at him with confusion.

The old man fumbled in the drawer of his desk for a while before pulling out a bank card.

"There’s probably four to five million in this card, take it all."

Jiang Li was surprised, "Why?"

"Didn’t you say that your film investment was very profitable? This money is like my investment," the old man huffed, "This isn’t just free money; if you can’t pay it back later, I’ll have to hold you to account."

Jiang Li sighed inwardly.

This haughty nature of the old man really hadn’t changed at all.

She accepted the card quite openly.

"Don’t worry, Grandpa, once the movie is released, I will return this money to you, including your share of the profits."

Half an hour later, Jiang Li left the old man’s study.

Seeing Jiang Li smiling, Lin Manru also relaxed and quickly came forward to pull her aside.

"Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. Second Aunt and Third Uncle are coming back soon. It’s been a long time since our family got together."

"Is Third Uncle also coming back?"

"Yes," Lin Manru responded, "You haven’t seen him much this year, have you? You should catch up with him when he gets back."

Before she finished speaking, several people walked into the living room.

Leading them were Jiang Mingchuan and Shen Lan.

The two had come back together, seemingly chatting about something enjoyable, with pleasant expressions on their faces.

On seeing Jiang Li, Jiang Mingchuan walked over with a smile that lifted his brows and vigorously patted her on the back.

"Great-niece, long time no see, haven’t you changed so much? You’re becoming more and more beautiful." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Jiang Li smiled lightly and nodded, "Hello, Third Uncle."

Jiang Mingchuan smiled even happier, "Just now, Second Aunt was saying you’ve changed the most in our family, and I didn’t believe it. Now it seems it’s true. When did this girl become so polite?"

He remembered the last time they met a year ago, when this girl had worn thick, ugly makeup and rolled her eyes at him.

Now, she was respectfully calling him Third Uncle.

Jiang Li had a far richer impression of this Third Uncle than of her Second Uncle.

Before her father died, Second Uncle was busy with the entertainment industry, not coming home all year, but only this Third Uncle would always follow her father around.

Among the siblings, her Third Uncle and her father were the closest.

Thus, by extension, although Jiang Mingchuan was only in his early thirties, he treated her and Jiang Yan as if they were his own.

Unfortunately, in her past life, she was so rebellious that she disregarded those who treated her well.

After her father’s accident, the old man originally wanted Jiang Mingyu to take over the family business, but after a huge quarrel, they became estranged and barely contacted each other. Later, the old man started grooming Jiang Mingchuan instead.

The story in the book had never mentioned this Third Uncle, and she only knew a little about him through some fragmented memories and some snippets from those around her.

Jiang Mingchuan’s initial focus wasn’t on business either.

Compared to the other useless rebels in the family, he was truly exemplary.

Since he was in school, he had always been at the top of his class, and he later got admitted to Jing University.

Jiang Mingchuan was passionate about scientific research and had wanted to continue his studies, but the family received bad news and he was called back by a phone call from the old man, giving up the chance to study abroad and dutifully staying at the family company.

He had also tried to resist, but the result of the resistance was that the old man forcibly arranged a marriage for him, thoroughly binding him to the Jiang Family through blood and family.

As for that so-called Third Aunt, Jiang Li didn’t have much impression of her.

She and Third Uncle were married through an arranged marriage and after having children, she rarely lived at home.

Recently, using the pretext of accompanying the old man to the ancestors’ graves, she had stayed at her parents’ house until now.

The two acted so coldly towards each other that they didn’t seem like a couple who had shared a bed.

But the good thing about Jiang Mingchuan was that he had a better mentality than her Second Uncle. After taking over the company, he didn’t just idle away his days but managed the company efficiently using his intelligence from his school days.

However, in the book, due to the powerful aura of the male lead Shang Shaojing and the setting of their family as cannon fodder, this proud son ultimately couldn’t escape the bonds of fate and, after accumulating huge debts, committed suicide by throwing himself into the river under the tragic reality of a ruined family and lost lives.

Looking at the smiling Jiang Mingchuan in front of her, who didn’t lose to a university student in cheerfulness, Jiang Li felt a pang of emotion and her demeanor became even more respectful.

"I’m sorry, Third Uncle, I was foolish before and caused a lot of trouble. If it weren’t for you, Third Uncle, I probably would have been skinned alive."

It was rare to hear the words "I’m sorry" from Jiang Li’s mouth, which surprised Jiang Mingchuan even more, but also made him happier.

He now liked Jiang Li the most in this house!

He then immediately put an arm around Jiang Li’s shoulder and laughed heartily for a few seconds, "Sure enough, my great-niece respects me the most. Tell me, what do you want? I’ll buy it for you right now!"

Hearing this while sitting on the sofa playing games, Jiang Yan felt unhappy.

"Third Uncle, aren’t you being too biased? Jiang Li just called you Third Uncle and you’re buying her stuff. I’ve called you that so many times over the years, but you never gave me anything."

Jiang Mingchuan was in a very good mood today, took off his coat and said, "Alright, I’ll buy for you too."

His gaze then reached Jiang Cheng, and he paused for a moment, "Jiang Cheng will get something too."

While Jiang Cheng noticed the change in Jiang Mingchuan’s mood, seeing that everyone else was so happy, he also nodded obediently with a smile, "Thank you, Third Uncle."

Jiang Yan quickly pushed his wheelchair to the side.

"Third Uncle, can I choose anything? I’ve recently taken a liking to a car, that configuration—"

"Jiang Yan, you really dare to ask for anything?" Lin Manru came from the kitchen, glaring at him dissatisfied, "Do you think your Third Uncle’s money just blows in with the wind? You’re grown up, if you like something, use your own money to buy it."

It was then that Jiang Yan remembered something and ran up to Lin Manru, crying out, "Mom, why couldn’t I use any of my cards just now on the internet? Didn’t you deposit money into my account this month?"

Lin Manru glanced at him indifferently, "Yes, ever since you ran away from home that time, I haven’t transferred money to your account. I won’t do so in the future either. You’re already working at Second Aunt’s company and getting a salary each month, so why should I give you money?"

Jiang Yan: ???

He hadn’t landed a single show in the past few months and hadn’t seen a penny in salary, where was it supposed to come from?!
