The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 166: Chapter 165: Slapping the Fake Heiress 66

The receptionists watched as Xiao Yuan’s face was filled with a joyful smile, quickly approaching that cute girl.

The tenderness in Xiao Yuan’s eyes was so obvious that even a fool could see it.

A few girls couldn’t help but sigh that the national husband was taken.

Then, they saw Xiao Yuan holding Anning’s hand as they entered the elevator.

”This must be the Main Palace.”

”She looks so cute and adorable, I want to pinch her cheeks.”

”I didn’t realize Mr. Xiao had this taste.”

Anning entered the elevator and tilted her head to size up Xiao Yuan.

The Xiao Yuan before her was in a sharp suit, looking very stable, a far cry from the red-haired teenager she first met.

Time really can change a person, Xiao Yuan has really changed a lot today.

”Mr. Xiao is really busy these days, even needs an appointment to see him.”

Anning teased with a smile.

”The same goes for both of us.”

Xiao Yuan retorted, ”Teacher Zhao is now teaching and educating, with students everywhere, it’s also quite difficult to meet you.”

The two exchanged smiles.

Xiao Yuan reached out to tuck Anning’s stray hair behind her ear: ”Not busy now?”

Anning nodded, ”I can make some time. So, Mr. Xiao, do you still need to match schedules?”

Xiao Yuan chuckled: ”If not busy, maybe we should get the wedding done.”

He pulled Anning into his arms: ”Chen Ke’er is getting married, and I think, I should get married before her.”

Anning pinched Xiao Yuan’s waist: ”So, you want to marry me just to compete with Sister Chen.”

Xiao Yuan quickly denied: ”No, I...”

How should he put it, he has been somewhat insincere, having wanted to marry Anning years ago, but now when it comes down to it he suddenly felt shy and couldn’t speak those loving words.

Anning burst into laughter.

No one knew Xiao Yuan’s character better than her.

”Before the wedding, shouldn’t we first get the marriage certificate? Also, shouldn’t I declare some sovereignty to keep those women and those entertainment industry starlets who keep stirring up scandals with you, from chasing you?”

Sweat appeared on Xiao Yuan’s face.

He knew Anning was settling accounts.

”By my honor, I have never met those people, and I don’t know how I got linked with them.”

He raised his hand to swear: ”I’m busy dying from work every day, as tired as a dog, I don’t have time to play tennis or have afternoon tea with them. If those reports were true, Xiao Family would have gone bankrupt long ago.”

Anning suppressed a smile: ”The husband of millions of young girls, geez, if we get married, I might be chased by a lot of people.”

The elevator reached the top floor, and as soon as the doors opened, Xiao Yuan quickly led Anning out.

Finally, this topic was over; if not, it might be life-threatening.

That night, the Little Mr. Xiao’s Weibo was updated.

It showed two red marriage books, clearly marriage certificates.

In the photo, the woman’s face was pixelated, but Xiao Yuan was smiling with a face full of happiness and sweetness.

Thus, countless young girls’ hearts were broken in pain.

The little actress who recently tried to cash in on Xiao Yuan was ridiculed by the masses, truly losing face.

After getting the certificate, Xiao Yuan visited Anning’s house daily, attending to Zhao Han and Song Ruyi, hoping the two of them would agree to hold the wedding soon.

He hardly stayed at home, so Xiao Hongyi had to go to Zhao Family’s place to find him, which made Xiao Hongyi complain more than once to Tian Mei that their son seemed to have been born for someone else’s family and urged Chen Ke’er to get married soon, so he could also have a son-in-law at home to attend to him.

Thanks to Xiao Yuan’s diligence, Zhao Han finally agreed, and the wedding date was set.

Thus, both Xiao and Zhao Families started getting busy.

Every day, Tian Mei met with Song Ruyi to discuss the wedding process, choose wedding attire, and talk about other various trifles.

The groom-to-be and the bride-to-be had already run off to play who knows where.

Tian Mei was busy, not only with Xiao Yuan’s wedding but also with Chen Ke’er’s wedding.

However, she was happy.

After a day of busyness, she used to talk to Xiao Hongyi, who was semi-retired, about their children’s weddings, having grandchildren, and grandsons, which filled their old age with warmth as they leaned on each other.

Tian Mei leaned on Xiao Hongyi and couldn’t help but laugh recalling the past, ”I never imagined that it would end up just us two together.”

”Yes,” replied Xiao Hongyi, reminiscing the old times: ”Back then, you and Chen Feng were so close, and I grew up with Yuan Yuan as childhood friends... We even had plans to buy houses close to each other when we were older, so we could keep each other company. Unfortunately, fate had other plans. Chen Feng and Yuan Yuan passed away early, leaving just us two.”

Thinking of Yuan Yuan, Tian Mei’s eyes moistened: ”I remember when she was about to leave, she held both our hands tightly, pushing us together, making me feel that... finally, Xiao Yuan has set his life on a good path, married the girl he loves, and I can be at peace with her.”

”She was worried. Worried about me, about you, and most of all about Xiao Yuan.”

Xiao Hongyi felt deep sorrow thinking about his late wife.

When Yuan Yuan was severely ill and nearing her end, she was genuinely worried about Tian Mei, who had been single-handedly raising Chen Ke’er since Chen Feng’s early death. Xiao Hongyi and Yuan Yuan had always looked after them.

Before she passed, Yuan Yuan worried about Xiao Hongyi being alone and Tian Mei having no one to take care of her, but what worried her most was Xiao Yuan. She feared that if Xiao Hongyi remarried, the stepmother might not treat Xiao Yuan well.

The usually graceful Yuan Yuan was selfish for once, pressing Xiao Hongyi and Tian Mei together before she closed her eyes.

In her mind, this would ensure Xiao Hongyi had someone to accompany and care for him, Tian Mei and Chen Ke’er would have a support, and most importantly, she trusted Tian Mei’s character knowing she would treat Xiao Yuan well, and her son would finally have another caring mother.

Xiao Hongyi and Tian Mei kept these things to themselves, never mentioning them to Xiao Yuan.

Now, both could look back at those times and smile peacefully at the past.

After much activity, Xiao and Zhao Families finally held a century wedding for Xiao Yuan and Anning.

During the wedding, a robust woman, along with a group of people, kicked open a hotel room door.

The crowd swarmed in, surrounding a man and woman still engaged in activity on the bed.

The young, beautiful woman screamed, clutching the bedsheet around her, while the man was already trembling with fear: ”Wife, it... she seduced me, I didn’t want this, I swear I won’t dare again.”

The young woman was Liu Mingzhu. She shivered getting off the bed to put on clothes, dodging to avoid her face being photographed.

But, the robust woman wasn’t about to let her off easy.

She marched over, pulled off the bedsheet from Liu Mingzhu, capturing her face and body clearly in photos: ”You wretched girl, seducing someone else’s husband, shame on you, I will beat you to death...”

Liu Mingzhu was dragged out of the room by the woman, pulled through to the lobby causing quite the scene.

She was mortified to death yet helpless.

She wanted to escape but had nowhere to go.

Several women surrounded her, pinching and hitting her while the men watched with schadenfreude.

Liu Mingzhu’s hair was pulled out in several places, her body bruised blue and purple.

She was beaten on the ground while the hotel lobby live-streamed a century wedding.

Lifting her head, Liu Mingzhu saw the prince-like handsome Xiao Yuan walking hand in hand with Anning, whose face was slightly obscured by a veil.

That gaze struck her like a realization in a dream.

Watching the blissful Anning, Liu Mingzhu thought, it shouldn’t be like this, this happiness should belong to her; Anning should be the one to die, while she should have been the princess, marrying the prince who deeply loved her.
