The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Slapping the Fake Heiress 33

Xiao Yuan’s words were crude, but the reasoning behind them was not.

No matter who it was, they had to admit that although he spoke somewhat petulantly, he was right.

The Zhao Family was certainly nice.

But they were not divine beings removed from the mortal world.

They were mortals too, with the joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness of mortals; they also had their little selfishness and calculations.

They would not harm others, but they also did not want to be harmed.

Especially Zhao Han.

He was a businessman, and it’s in a merchant’s nature to prioritize profit; every matter required weighing the pros and cons.

The more he thought about the situation with Zhao Mingzhu, the more he realized it did not add up.

He looked at Song Ruyi, then at Zhao Mingrui: ”The fund I prepared for Mingzhu, I’ll have it transferred to Anning’s name tomorrow.”

Song Ruyi made a noise of agreement: ”What about the properties prepared for Mingzhu?”

Mingzhu had properties and shops to her name, these were long prepared for her.

”Let her keep the one she’s living in, for the rest, I’ll think it over.”

Zhao Han’s frown was deep; he somewhat regretted giving Mingzhu her gifts too soon.

While Anning lay in bed, An Xin was live-streaming the situation in the living room to her.

After watching for a moment, Anning knew it was almost as she had expected and did not continue watching. Instead, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

After she fell asleep, An Xin began to wander around.

Then, An Xin noticed the stream of messages Xiao Yuan had sent to Anning on Flying Messenger.

Xiao Yuan: Don’t be sad anymore, we’ll get revenge for you one day.

Xiao Yuan: Are you still crying?

Xiao Yuan: Tomorrow, I’m going to beat up Zhao Mingzhu.

Xiao Yuan: ...

Watching Anning sleeping soundly, while Xiao Yuan was almost frantic, An Xin hopped around joyfully for a while before she fell silent.

In the morning, when Anning woke up, An Xin reported to her: ”Ningning, your dad hired a private detective.”

Anning immediately understood.

”After some time, you’ll reveal to the detective agency my dad hired the evidence that Mingzhu has long been in contact with the Liu Family.”

”Understood.”

An Xin saluted and then disappeared into the internet.

After breakfast, Anning made a call to Teacher Wu to ask for leave.

Last night, Zhao Han and Song Ruyi had made several contacts to find a good psychologist for Anning.

Today, both had cleared some engagements to take Anning to see them.

Anning was ready and went with Zhao Han and Song Ruyi.

The psychologist Zhao Han found was not very old, seeming to be just in her thirties. She was not tall and had an ordinary face, but her smile made people feel at ease.

She stretched out her hand to shake Anning’s hand: ”Hello, I’m Song Qing.”

Anning shook hands with Song Qing: ”Hello, I’m Zhao Anning.”

Then, turning to Song Ruyi, she said: ”Ms. Song, you share the same surname as my mother.”

Song Qing smiled: ”We were probably from the same family five hundred years ago.”

She took Anning into a comfortably decorated room, first let Zhao Han and Song Ruyi stay with them. Song Qing talked with Anning for a while, and after Anning relaxed, she asked Zhao Han and Song Ruyi to leave, giving her and Anning a private space.

Song Qing indeed had some skills.

If Anning were an ordinary person, she probably would have shared many of her deepest thoughts with Song Qing by now.

But Anning’s spiritual power is particularly strong, and her will is very firm, so naturally, Song Qing can’t provide her with any real psychological comfort.

She pretended to trust Song Qing and talked to her about a lot of things.

When Song Qing and Anning came out, Zhao Han hurried over: ”Ms. Song, about my daughter’s mental state...”

Song Qing smiled, pushed her glasses up on the bridge of her nose: ”Anning is doing quite well. Given her situation, if her willpower weren’t especially strong, she might have collapsed by now. It’s not easy for her to have persisted until now. She has a strong mind and mature thoughts. As long as we give her time and care, there won’t be any big problems.”

Song Qing patted Anning’s head: ”When you go back, you should take extra care of her. Don’t force her to interact with people she doesn’t want to meet right now to avoid any agitation. After some time, she will recover on her own.”

Zhao Han and Song Ruyi both let out a huge sigh of relief and thanked Song Qing profusely.

By the time Anning and her parents came out, her phone had rung several times.

Anning took out her phone and saw that there were many messages in her class group chat.

She looked carefully and then remembered that the mid-term exam results were released today.

Class 12 was in the midst of celebrating their mid-term exam results.

Gao Nana: Congratulations to our classmate Zhao Anning for successfully crushing many of the top students and God of Study in Class 1 to take the throne of first place.

Dong Xue: 858 points again, Anning, you are not human, you are a deity.

Zhang Ke: To worship the God of Study is to have eternal life.

Xiao Yuan: Petty.jpg Do you know how many points Zhao Mingzhu scored? Just over 700, her ranking dropped to over a hundred this time. You know she used to be in the top ten of our grade.

Anning smiled at those messages and replied with a ”Got it,” before putting her phone back in her pocket.

Seeing her put away the phone, Song Ruyi asked with a smile: ”Is there something going on at school?”

Anning hummed a response, and with a calm face said, ”The exam results are out, I am first in the grade.”

Song Ruyi immediately beamed with a smile: ”Our Ningning is so amazing, surpassing so many good students in Class 1 to take first place, much better than your brother.”

Zhao Han turned his head and looked at Anning: ”What present do you want? Whatever you want, Dad will buy it for you.”

Anning shook her head: ”I don’t want gifts, I just want to always be together with Mom and Dad, for our family to never be apart.”

Song Ruyi laughed heartily: ”Good, our family will never be apart.”

Anning scoring first in her grade made Song Ruyi exceptionally happy.

She took a picture with her arm around Anning’s shoulder and posted it to her circle of friends.

In the photo, she and Anning were snuggled up together, both mother and daughter beaming radiantly.

Song Ruyi also added a caption under the photo: Daughter scored first in the grade, happy.

In no time, many people liked Song Ruyi’s post in her circle of friends, and some left comments, all congratulating Anning on being first in the grade, which made Song Ruyi even happier.

Anning didn’t go to school that day.

She was busy enjoying the warm family time with her parents at home.

She was unaware that the whole school was almost exploding because of her results.

Today was the day the mid-term exam results came out, and many students from Class 1 arrived quite early.

Zhao Mingzhu actually didn’t want to come to school today.

But thinking that the results were coming out, and that she couldn’t stay away from school forever, she still came.

However, she didn’t come early.

After she entered the classroom, only a few classmates who were usually very close to her greeted her.

A few people consoled Zhao Mingzhu: ”Don’t be sad, that Zhao Anning obviously has her own schemes, pretending to be all obedient and cute, but when she gets the chance she bites hard.”

”Yeah, considering the environment she grew up in and the one you live in, it’s understandable that you can’t compete with her.”

”None of this is your fault, who would have known they were switched at birth, right?”

Zhao Mingzhu kept a smile on her face, continually saying it was nothing, but inside she was close to exploding with anger.

And just at this moment, Zhao Mingrui arrived in Class 1.
