Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 271 - : How Did Shen Lan Marry an Old Fool?!
Chapter 271: Chapter 271: How Did Shen Lan Marry an Old Fool?!
He had barely finished speaking when he received a withering look from Jiang Li.
Jiang Yan reacted instantly.
Damn! How did he blurt that out?! He was still on camera!!
Although Second Aunt had publicly acknowledged her relationship with their family, Second Uncle had never done so.
Apart from a few people close to him who knew his real identity, he had been living with a false identity in the entertainment industry crafted by Shen Lan for many years, and nobody knew that he was actually the Second Master of the Jiang Family.
If he accidentally spilled the beans today, he would definitely be scolded to death by the whole family when he returned.
There’s no telling, by then, he might really become a lonely soul!
Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Jiang Yan, and he immediately thought of a countermeasure, shifted his eyes, and picked up his cellphone to feign a complaint to Jiang Li:
“Isn’t our Second Uncle usually just fond of fussing over those vegetables he grows? When did he start messing with Weibo? If the family group hadn’t tagged him just now, I wouldn’t have known.”
Jiang Li: “….”
Not to mention, her silly brother was actually quite convincing in his act.
If she didn’t know the truth, she might have believed it too.
The viewers in the live broadcast believed it.
After all, in their eyes, Jiang Yan was akin to the foolish son of a landlord, absolutely lacking such refined acting skills.
[Just saw the young master so worked up, I thought his Second Uncle was some bigshot, turns out he’s just a farmer.]
[No wonder Jiang Li is so good at farming, it must be a family trait.]
[But why would Shen Lan marry such a crummy old man, what was she thinking?]
[She must be used to seeing people in the entertainment circle with impure intentions, probably just wanted to find someone honest who would support her career, nowadays it’s rare for a family to accept a daughter-in-law like Shen Lan who endures hardships and deals with various bosses and investors every day.]
While people in the live broadcast were still passionately discussing Shen Lan’s married life, Jiang Li also recalled the incident that had happened in the live broadcast.

The moment she saw the Four Pillars of Destiny of the Chasing Wind Youth, she was certain that he was her real Second Uncle—Jiang Mingyu.
The artist known as Jiang Yu, who entered the entertainment industry at 15, became wildly popular at 17, and became a versatile superstar known as the Heavenly God.
What nobody expected was that at the peak of his career, this widely beloved Heavenly God suddenly retired and then completely vanished without a trace.
Gradually, Jiang Yu became the tears of the era and the lost first love, slowly fading from the life of his fans, occasionally brought up only to be remembered and lamented.
But only Jiang Li knew, the price of fame and extreme popularity at a young age wasn’t something everyone could endure.
The price Jiang Mingyu paid was family discord, malevolence from others, and a tragic death.
In the book, he died in the tangled ravines of Ethiopia, not even leaving a corpse behind.
The news shocked countless netizens back home, and Jiang Yu was “revived” in this sorrowful manner.
His once fans held a grand funeral for him on the internet.
Hence, the name “Heavenly God” was eternally etched in the history of the entertainment industry along with his disappearance.
And his Second Aunt, Shen Lan, due to her career’s downfall and the loss of her beloved, in a dazed state, crashed into the guardrail on the side of the highway, dying instantly.
This marked the tragic beginning for Jiang Shixu.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li sighed deeply, her mind still occasionally flashed with images of that endlessly sorrowful and dark home.
Luckily, she had awakened and used her abilities to avert the tragedy.
Jiang Mingyu’s great disaster had been successfully resolved, and the butterfly effect was also successfully stopped.
Gathering her thoughts, Jiang Li looked toward Jiang Yan, who was still staring at his cellphone.
“Maybe uncle just logged into the wrong account, after all, his main account has been inactive for over a decade.”
“But that still doesn’t make sense,” Jiang Yan, still doubtful, said. “Weren’t they at odds for several years? Uncle just went out to cool off, and now he’s coming back to divorce Second Aunt.”
Jiang Li stared at him incredulously, “Where did you hear all this?”
“The household servants have been saying so.”
Jiang Li fell silent.
No wonder Shi Xu was always cooped up in his room looking gloomy. It must have been those servants gossiping that he overheard.
A naturally sensitive child would inevitably overthink upon hearing such things, leading to anxiety, and mentally he couldn’t keep up.
This time when she went home, she would definitely need to give a harsh talking-to to the household servants.
“Why take rumors seriously?” Jiang Li said, sitting beside him. “Didn’t they used to say that you could date a dozen girlfriends in a month? In fact, you’re still very much single.”
“I….”
Jiang Yan had nothing to counter with.
Even though he usually enjoyed teasing those girls, the only one he truly cared for was Su Yinwan.
It might seem like he was a playboy, but in reality, he had never been in a serious relationship.
“You’re right,” Jiang Yan nodded profoundly, “but that’s still no reason for Second Aunt to mention you publicly and completely ignore me.”
Jiang Li: ?
Angrily, Jiang Yan held up his phone to her, “Look, Second Aunt never used to talk about her family publicly, but now just for you, she actually posted on Weibo calling you her dear niece, and didn’t mention me at all! Do you know what people in the comments are saying?!”
Seeing Jiang Li’s indifferent expression, Jiang Yan read out the comments even more aggrieved.
“A netizen called ‘Pert Butt Young Cat’ said, ‘Was Jiang Yan forgotten by the Jiang Family? Why doesn’t Shen Lan mention him at all?'”
“Someone else replied, ‘If it were me, I wouldn’t want to mention him either. It’s like having a son and daughter, where the daughter is first in school and the son last. Would you boast about your daughter, or introduce the son who can’t stand on his own two feet?’
“Another one called ‘Wish the World Was Full of Greens’ said, ‘Isn’t it said that the Jiang Family favors sons over daughters? Is the rumor wrong? It seems more like they favor daughters over sons, or is it that Jiang Yan was picked up from a dumpster?'”
The more Jiang Yan read, the angrier he got.
“Picked up from a dumpster? These people are really idle! How could I possibly be picked up from anywhere?!”
No, he couldn’t let these people continue spouting such nonsense.
He had to find a way to prove himself!
Meanwhile, far away in the Capital, Lin Manru received a phone call.
Seeing the caller ID “good baby daughter,” Lin Manru’s face broke into a smile, and she quickly answered the call.
“Hey, is that Lili? Why are you calling at this time? Are you bored over there, missing mommy? Why don’t you come back early? Forget about your brother; let him stay in that broken house alone.”
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yan: “…..”
Did he even have a place in this family anymore?!
