After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 769 Not much, just a few cups, Uncle Li and Aunt Ye
"Clap!"

It was the sound of Li Chengxiao putting the knife he was holding back into the plate on the table.

Jiang Hanying watched his movements intently, reaching out to pick up the knife again; she hadn't had enough fun yet.

My hand was held down.

I opened my mouth to protest, but a bright red strawberry was stuffed into my mouth. I instinctively chewed it, slurped it up, and it was sweet!
"Be good, you can play when we get back."

Jiang Hanying swallowed the strawberry in her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay!"
She was wearing heels today, and her line of sight was just a tiny bit higher than her cheap owner's shoulder.

With just a casual glance, one could see Pei Yuan, whose expression still held a hint of fear, and her cheap owner's parents standing not far away.

He immediately beamed with a big smile: "Dad, Mom!"

Li Xingchuan nodded in response with a somewhat stiff smile.

He was still thinking about that dinner knife. If his son hadn't caught it quickly after dodging, it would have stabbed him in the neck right behind him!

Ye Mingxin knew Jiang Hanying's true nature to some extent, so she still dared to step closer. Smelling a faint smell of alcohol, she reached out and tapped Jiang Hanying's nose, asking, "How much did you drink?"

"Not much, just a few cups."

As for Yuan Chaoyu and Pei Yuan, they were still stunned by Jiang Hanying's sudden utterance of "Mom and Dad".

Yuan Chaoyu couldn't help but look at Li Xingchuan again.

If this man's hair were longer and messier, and he had a beard... she tentatively called out, "Uncle Li?"

Hearing this address, Li Xingchuan turned his head and looked over. This time he really thought about it seriously, but he still couldn't remember. "Who are you?"

It really was Uncle Li!
"I am Yuan Chaoyu. I was looking to buy your painting 'Wild Mountains' before."

Upon hearing that the person had previously wanted to buy his painting, Li Xingchuan finally made contact with him. "If you still really like and want 'Wild Mountain,' go talk to my agent. I'll call him to let him know."

Previously, he was single and had no family to worry about. His son was grown up and able to support himself, no longer needing his irresponsible father to support him. He only needed enough money to find a wife; he had no other desire to spend money.
But now, his wife has been found, and his son is getting married.

Raising a daughter-in-law requires money, and you also need to prepare a dowry for her. Thinking about it this way, money is needed everywhere.

He needs to get back to work and make money!
The surprise came so quickly that Yuan Chaoyu was stunned for a full two seconds before he came to his senses and nodded hurriedly: "I still really like that painting 'Wild Mountain'. Don't worry, I will treasure it."

If this person really is Instructor Li's father, then the "Mom" that Jiang Hanying just called out... could she be Uncle Li's wife?

Although she was a junior, she had lived in the Beijing social circle since childhood and knew a little about this person's deeds.

His wife disappeared in his early years. In order to find clues about his wife, he entrusted his newborn son to his older brother and sister-in-law. Even when he occasionally sold a couple of paintings, it was to raise money to continue searching for his wife.

This man may not be a very good father, but as a husband, who wouldn't admire his deep and enduring love?

But now, has such a devoted man abandoned his missing wife and married a younger woman instead?

Regardless of what he was thinking, Yuan Chaoyu remained outwardly calm.

She is an elder, and also someone else's elder; how could she be allowed to interfere?

However, the way Jiang Hanying gets along with this new second wife of the Li family seems quite natural and harmonious.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw the other person turn their head and look at me.

Yuan Chaoyu paused for a moment, then said, "Uncle, Auntie, hello."

Facing a face that looked even younger than herself, only she knew how difficult it was to call her "Auntie".

"My name is Ye Mingxin."

Having mastered the first syllable, the second was much easier, "Aunt Ye." Ye Mingxin smiled and withdrew her gaze: "Since you're drunk, why don't you go home and rest? You can leave early from this celebration banquet, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chaoyu volunteered, "Sure, I'm just about to go in. Just mention it for me."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Yuan."

"You're welcome."

Upon hearing that Instructor Li and his parents were about to take her away, Pei Yuan finally dared to approach and said, "Instructor Li, this is Han Ying's phone that I'm keeping safe for her."

Li Chengxiao took the phone and put it in his pocket. "Does she have work to do tomorrow?"

"No, that's all." Pei Yuan hurriedly waved her hand. "We were almost set up for the female lead and she was supposed to start filming tomorrow, but someone else snatched her away. Guan Ge hasn't arranged a new job for her yet."

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

Watching Instructor Li take Hanying away, Pei Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't handle Hanying when she was drunk, and only Instructor Li could keep her in check.

She followed Yuan Chaoyu back to the inner hall.

Thinking of the woman she had just met, who looked about the same age as Sister Hanying and was incredibly beautiful, she couldn't help but exclaim as she walked, "That Mrs. Ye looks so young!"

If it weren't for Sister Hanying calling her "Mom," she would have believed it if you told her she was Instructor Li's sister.

Mrs. Ye!
Yuan Chaoyu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Madam Ye, Ye Mingxin!
If she remembered correctly, Uncle Li's missing ex-wife also had the surname Ye.
Moreover, although the other person looks young, they are of a high generation. Why would they bother to introduce themselves by name?

A hypothesis quietly sprouted in her mind and then grew wildly; she couldn't wait to verify it!

the other side.

Li Chengxiao had just helped Jiang Hanying into the car and fastened her seatbelt.

When he turned around, he saw his parents still standing by the roadside, showing no sign of getting into the car.

Ye Mingxin smiled and waved to her son who was looking over, "Drive carefully on the road. Take good care of everyone, and then we won't get in the car. We'll meet at your uncle's house tomorrow."

"That you……"

Li Xingchuan took his wife's hand. "We plan to stroll along the moat to digest our food first, then take a taxi back. Your knife-throwing game was too exciting for you two, your mother and I won't participate!"

The passenger window rolled down, and Jiang Hanying stuck her head out, waving, "Goodbye, Mom and Dad!"

Ye Mingxin reached out and shoved her hand back, saying, "Goodbye!"

He then gave his son a look, as if to say, "It's up to you now."

"Then send me a message after you've finished your walk and gotten home safely."

One is my mother, who has been asleep for so many years and is still not very familiar with modern society.

One is a father who, apart from occasionally painting a couple of pictures to sell for money, spends the rest of his time traveling to various remote mountains and forests to search for his wife's whereabouts, living like a wild man.

To be honest, he was a little worried about this combination.

"no problem."

As for whether I'll still want to receive messages at that time, we'll see.

Li Chengxiao walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat. He then reached out and pulled Jiang Hanying's head back from outside the car window. He waved to his parents, rolled up the car window, locked the car door and window together, and then stepped on the gas.
