The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Slapping the Fake Heiress 42

”The biggest mistake sister made was forcing mom here, in front of so many people.”

Anning walked over with a cold face and supported Song Ruyi: ”Why can’t we talk at home instead of kneeling down here? Those who know think that sister is apologizing for her wrongdoing, those who don’t know might think mom has wronged you.”

Song Ruyi truly felt relieved when Anning came over.

Zhao Mingzhu’s kneeling just now really caught her off guard.

She couldn’t help her up, yet if she didn’t help, she worried that Zhao Mingzhu might take the opportunity to raise some difficult issues.

As for He Yang, he was already furious at Anning.

”So, this is how you bully Mingzhu.”

Anning was amused by the anger: ”Mr. He, what are you to Zhao Mingzhu? Is it your turn to speak here? No matter what, she still bears the Zhao surname, she is part of our family, it’s our family matter. You, an outsider, have no right to intervene.”

Anning was sharp-tongued, and with one sentence, she extinguished He Yang’s fury.

She smiled at Zhao Mingzhu: ”Sister, you should get up now, overacting doesn’t look good.”

Zhao Mingzhu quickly lowered her head to hide the annoyance and deep hatred in her eyes.

Wiping away tears, she stood up: ”Mom, I’m sorry, I was really frantic just now, I was just scared that you wouldn’t want me anymore.”

Song Ruyi gave a forced laugh: ”How could I not want you?”

She now felt a bit clueless on how to face Zhao Mingzhu.

She reluctantly smiled and left some words of caution to Anning and Zhao Mingzhu before she quickly left.

As soon as Song Ruyi left, Anning didn’t even glance at Zhao Mingzhu again and went back to the classroom with a few classmates from class twelve.

As soon as she entered the classroom, Dong Xue and others gathered around: ”That was really quite the drama just now, I never expected Zhao Mingzhu to act like such a White Lotus, kneeling and crying, my goodness, it’s 2022, what was she trying to do?”

”Exactly, exactly, she always seemed so aloof before, I didn’t expect her to do something like this.”

”People like her can sacrifice anything, Anning, you have to be careful not to fall for her tricks.”

”Now we really see what a White Lotus looks like.”

Anning smiled and chatted with her classmates before she started to seriously read her books.

Zhao Mingzhu was actually quite cunning. Had she not been pushed to the limit, she wouldn’t have resorted to such measures.

Indeed, Zhao Mingzhu’s crying and begging today, forcing Song Ruyi, was all provoked step by step by Anning.

Of course, it was also because Zhao Mingzhu is young and lacks experience.

If given another two years, after Zhao Mingzhu had grown, Anning’s tactics would no longer work.

Anning had just returned, and Zhao Mingzhu voluntarily moving out to leave a good impression was partly due to being pressured.

However, after she moved out, Song Ruyi and Zhao Han, being occupied with caring for Anning, had no time to visit her, which made Zhao Mingzhu feel insecure day by day.

Recently, Zhao Mingzhu still hadn’t seen the Zhao Family coming to take her home. Seeing the relationship between Anning and the Zhao Family getting better and Song Ruyi becoming closer to them, she became more anxious.

She had people keep an eye on every move of the Zhao Family, looking for an opportunity to return.

At this time, Anning quietly revealed to Zhao Mingzhu that Zhao Han had someone investigate her and the Liu Family.

This revelation completely panicked Zhao Mingzhu.

It should be noted that Zhao Mingzhu had acknowledged the Liu Family a few years ago.

And recently, she had been in contact with the Liu Family, believing she was secretive about it but fearful that the person Zhao Han hired might be efficient enough to uncover her.

She was in utter panic, really not knowing what to do.

Besides, the things she accused Anning of led to Anning exposing her on the spot, and Mingrui announcing her true identity in class one, all these events had already made Zhao Mingzhu lose her composure.

She no longer fantasized about the Zhao Family taking her back and treating her as their own daughter.

She just wanted to stay in the Capital now and still be acknowledged by the Zhao Family, she absolutely did not want to return to the Liu Family to suffer.

During today’s parent-teacher meeting, as soon as Song Ruyi arrived, she went straight to class twelve, although originally she was supposed to come to class one to meet the teacher. But Zhao Mingzhu waited and waited and no one came.

She really was driven to a desperate state, that’s when she thought of this method.

She wanted to force Song Ruyi to personally promise that she would never send her back, that she could stay with the Zhao Family forever, even being an adopted daughter would do.

However, this plan was messed up due to Gu Anning’s sudden appearance.

And the reason Song Ruyi forgot about Zhao Mingzhu’s parent-teacher conference was also arranged by Gu Anning.

Originally, Gu Anning had another plan in mind, but the appearance of Xiao Hongyi, coupled with her hacking into the school’s database, threw Song Ruyi into panic. Only after the parent-teacher conference did she hurried to find Zhao Han, hastily forgetting Zhao Mingzhu.

Gu Anning knew that after this incident, Song Ruyi probably harbored some complaints against Zhao Mingzhu.

What Gu Anning needed to do now was to let Zhao Mingzhu make more mistakes, further diminishing the Zhao Family’s affection for her, and then hand over the evidence linking Zhao Mingzhu and the Liu Family to Zhao Han.

Gu Anning read for a while and already had countless ideas.

The appearance of He Yang should also be considered an opportunity.

After school, Gu Anning walked out with her backpack.

Xiao Yuan quickly caught up with her: ”Anning, let’s go out together on Saturday.”

Gu Anning smiled: ”Didn’t we plan to all go to the amusement park together?”

”Yes, yes.” Xiao Yuan chuckled dryly.

What he wanted was not a group outing, but a private world with Anning.

”Well...”

He asked quietly, ”When will you be going to my dad’s company?”

Gu Anning thought for a moment: ”Maybe Sunday, I’ll contact Uncle Xiao.”

Then, she said, ”Actually, there’s no need to go to Uncle Xiao’s company, I can try from home.”

Xiao Yuan insisted: ”Go, you should sign a contract with my dad to prevent him from denying it later, making you work for free.”

This comment amused Gu Anning: ”That would actually save your money.”

”What ’your money’? Who knows whose it will be in the future.”

Xiao Yuan walked with his hands in his pockets, murmuring softly.

Suddenly, Gu Anning stopped, sizing Xiao Yuan up and down.

Xiao Yuan, under her gaze, felt nervous: ”What are you looking at me for?”

Then, Xiao Yuan suddenly laughed, sorting his red hair: ”Is it because I look handsome? Are you dazzled by my charm?”

Gu Anning rolled her eyes and distanced a few steps from Xiao Yuan.

As they were about to leave the school gate, Gu Anning received a call, Zhao Han told her the driver would be late to pick her up and suggested she find a restaurant nearby to eat something and wait.

After hanging up, Xiao Yuan said, ”Come on, I’ll take you to someplace tasty.”

Gu Anning felt like rolling her eyes again.

But going to a restaurant alone seemed boring, so she followed Xiao Yuan leisurely.

Xiao Yuan led Gu Anning through a shortcut, while introducing: ”That place is actually quite remote, but the food there is really good.”

Suddenly, Gu Anning heard a scream from a small alley ahead.

She didn’t think much and pulled Xiao Yuan to run there.

The alley was very close, and they saw the situation inside in just a few steps.

In the alley, a girl in the Foreign Language School uniform was panic-stricken, backing away, surrounded by several boys in vocational school uniforms.

”We should call the police.”

Gu Anning whispered to Xiao Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuan threw his backpack to Gu Anning and rushed forward with an angry face.
