Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Jiang Cheng was quite surprised.

Actually, the Jiang Family had been very quiet these past two days, and he thought everyone had forgotten about his being admitted to the university.

But unexpectedly, they had been secretly preparing for so long behind his back.

Lin Manru quietly leaned closer to him and said, "We didn't intentionally ignore you these past two days because your sister and brother are about to take their exams. We thought of celebrating with you together after they do well. Today's meal was specially ordered for you by the old man. Eat whatever you want, don't hold back, and tell mom if you want anything."

Jiang Cheng's nose felt a bit sore.

His childhood wasn't particularly happy.

In fact, it was worse than most people's.

But the Jiang Family gave him a brand new life.

He obviously had no blood relationship with them, yet they provided him with endless love and warmth.

The reason he could live like this was all thanks to everyone, especially his sister.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng stood up holding a glass.

"Thank you, everyone. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the achievements I have today. Rest assured, I will always be a part of the Jiang Family. No matter who faces difficulties, I will definitely give my full support."

Jiang Zhao Yuan said approvingly, "This child has grown up and become sensible. No wonder I've liked him for so long."

Shen Lan also nodded, "Besides Lili, Jiang Cheng is the most understanding in our family."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and looked at Jiang Shixu beside her, holding his hand.

"Shi Xu, mom doesn't mean you're not sensible. You're more understanding than the other two."

Jiang Shixu: "..."

There's no need to be so deliberate.

Halfway through the meal, Jiang Li received a call from Zhao Lang.

She first apologized to everyone and then walked to the balcony to answer it.

"Finished your exams?"

"Yes, finished. What's up?"

"Nothing, just wanted to check in on you, but I heard from your grandfather that you were having a family dinner tonight, so I won't disturb you. Are you free tomorrow? I'll take you somewhere for a meal."

"What place so mysterious?"

"To celebrate your exams being over, of course, it has to be mysterious."

"Alright then, I'll reluctantly attend your feast."

"It's an honor for Gu to have Miss Jiang grace us with your presence. Alright, I won't disturb your meal any further. We'll be in touch."

"Okay, bye."

…

Inside the house, Jiang Mingchuan seemed happier than the kids who had just finished their exams, pulling Jiang Mingyu to drink with him.

Jiang Mingyu's face was already flushed red, and he kept waving his hand.

"Ming Chuan, I really can't drink anymore."

"Second brother, among us, you have the worst alcohol tolerance. Shi Xu is still here; you need to set an example for him."

Next to him, Meng Wanzhi wanted to pull him away but retracted her outstretched hand.

Forget it, she never had much say in this family anyway.

Let him be.

After drinking, he went to pat Jiang Cheng on the shoulder, "Come, let your third uncle hug you, let me borrow some of your luck, so that my two little ones can do as well as you in the future."

But turning his head, Jiang Buchen was already asleep in Meng Wanzhi's embrace.

Jiang Bufan was by the hotel's ornamental fish tank.

"Little fish, little fish, look, this goldfish was given to me by Brother Gu Yu, it's made of gold. Do you think you look better or it looks better?"

"What? You wagged your tail means it doesn't look good, then I'll ask auntie to make you into braised fish!"

Jiang Mingchuan: "..."

Forget it, he just prayed for them to grow up safe and happy.

He didn't ask for anything else.

The whole family didn't leave the hotel until late.

The first thing Jiang Cheng did after returning home was rush to his room.

He pushed open the door and turned on the light, and inside it was already filled with gift boxes.

Jiang Cheng, filled with excitement and nervousness, walked over and casually picked up a box.

A label was stuck on the box, which read —

"For 14-year-old Jiang Cheng."

Upon opening it, inside was a wooden carving of a violin.

On it was a crooked line of writing.

"At this age, you should start to have your own hobbies, right? I don't know what you like, but music can give you a different feeling. Inside is a song I recorded, hope you like it."

From the handwriting, Jiang Cheng knew it was from Jiang Shixu.

Jiang Cheng pressed the violin's button, and sure enough, a soothing piece of music started playing.

With this background music, Jiang Cheng continued to unwrap the gifts.

Inside was a bottle of wine.

Also a crooked handwritten note, but clearly from a different person.

"For 17-year-old Jiang Cheng."

"Little brat, although you're not yet an adult, you soon will be. I didn't know what to give you, since I'm not good at these things. But I'm quite knowledgeable about wine, so I'm giving you this early. When you come of age, you can drink with me. Our family is full of women, we need guys like us to balance it out. Whether you're happy or sad, remember to drink with me. After all, I'm your brother (damn, it's been so long since I wrote that my hand doesn't listen)."

Reading these words was like seeing Jiang Yan right in front of him, making Jiang Cheng burst into laughter.

This was exactly the kind of thing Jiang Yan would write.

He quickly continued to unwrap the other gifts.

Halfway through, tears were already streaming down his face.

These were all the gifts everyone prepared for him, from one to eighteen years old.

Ages one to five were prepared by Lin Manru, filling the void of motherly love he lacked.

Ages six to ten were prepared by Jiang Zhao Yuan, filling the blank space of fatherly memories in his childhood.

Ages eleven to fifteen were prepared by Jiang Shixu, full of novel and fun little gadgets.

Sixteen and seventeen were prepared by Jiang Yan.

Eighteen was bought by Jiang Li.

Inside was only a piece of paper.

"The gift for your eighteenth birthday has already been given to you. I was preparing for exams these past days, so I didn't have time to carefully select anything, so I thought of writing you a letter."

"Have you always been curious about why I suddenly got so good to you? That's because I had a really bad dream, where everyone was terrible, especially you. You became very bad, ruthless, without a trace of affection, and hurt many people. For a long time after waking up, I hesitated to forgive you."

"But I saw a lot of pain in you. You probably never wanted to turn out like that, right? So I decided to save you."

"The truth proved that my choice was right. You didn't go down that crooked path, and you've only gotten better."

"Jiang Cheng, you have to believe that you're actually a very good person, no matter what bad things you've endured, your future is bright and beautiful. Everyone makes some mistakes, including me, but a repentant prodigal should not be traded for gold, as long as there is change, anything is possible."

"The wonderful future that belongs to you is just beginning. Jiang Cheng, bravely venture forward; I will be your strongest support."
