The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

”Why are you back?”

Li Cuixia was quite surprised to see Anning.

Mrs. Fang smiled broadly when she saw Anning: ”Ningning is back, come in quickly.”

Anning entered the house carrying a suitcase: ”Hello, Auntie.”

She placed the pastries she was holding in her other hand on the table and then went over to look at the baby.

”Let me hold him.”

Anning really liked her little nephew and reached out to hold him.

Mrs. Fang handed the child over to her, and Anning held him, smiling: ”My nephew looks really good.”

”Isn’t he just? Look at that hair, so black, and the rosy cheeks.”

Whenever they talked about the baby, both Mrs. Fang and Li Cuixia were overjoyed.

Right then, when Yang Anzhen woke up, Anning put the child down and went over to talk with Yang Anzhen.

Li Cuixia whispered to Mrs. Fang: ”In-laws, you were exhausted all night yesterday, go home and rest, we’ll be here, and you can come back in the afternoon.”

Mrs. Fang was indeed a bit tired, but she still glanced at Anning: ”Why don’t you go home with Ningning? Ningning traveled all night...”

Anning smiled: ”Auntie, you go rest, please. I flew back, and I napped after landing, so I’m really not tired now.”

Only then did Mrs. Fang say: ”Okay, I’ll head home first.”

As she left, she reluctantly took a last look at her eldest grandson.

Once Mrs. Fang was gone, Li Cuixia and her daughters could speak freely.

Li Cuixia got the baby to sleep, then asked Anning with Yang Anzhen: ”It’s hard to explain over the phone, tell us, what’s going on?”

Anning explained everything in detail: ”That Yi guy is insane.”

Yang Anzhen listened with her heart in her mouth: ”There really are all kinds of people in the world. I mean, what’s he trying to do? He has so many women, and yet he dares pursue Ningning from our family, thinking Ningning is like those shallow women who can be swayed by money.”

Li Cuixia pulled Anning over and asked: ”What’s going on with you and Xiao Yuan? Are you two really dating?”

Anning didn’t hold back: ”We’re really dating, but you and Dad disapprove, so I’ll break up with him later.”

If Anning were adamant about not breaking up, Li Cuixia might get upset and be at odds with Anning.

But since Anning agreed to break up so readily, Li Cuixia felt guilty towards Anning and quickly said: ”It’s not that your dad and I disapprove; if Xiao Yuan weren’t part of the Xiao Family, even if he’s uneducated and poor, as long as you liked him, we wouldn’t stop you, as long as his family was reasonable and honest. But the Xiao Family...”

Yang Anzhen added: ”Yes, it’s not that our parents are unreasonable; they just don’t approve of the Xiao Family’s character.”

Anning nodded vigorously: ”I understand. I was young before, and I liked Xiao Yuan’s looks. He treated me well too. I told him to go east, and he’d never go west; if I wanted to hit a dog, he’d never chase a chicken. I wanted to study in the Capital, and worried about me, he followed to find work there. His mind worked well; in the Capital, he started a renovation company. In the past half-year, all the money he made he gave to me. Even the house he bought in the Capital is in my name; I refused, but he insisted. I’m no match for him. Even his company’s accounts are open for me to look at freely. It’s rare to have a man who trusts me so much and treats me so well without reservation. Missing out on him might mean never finding someone like that again... But my parents dislike him, so I can’t go against them. No matter how good he is, can he be better than my parents? No matter how difficult it is for me, I must break up.”

”What about the house?”

Yang Anzhen was shocked.

She never expected Xiao Yuan to be so good to Anning, sincere enough to put the house in Anning’s name.

Li Cuixia also looked at Anning eagerly.

Anning sighed: ”When I go back, I’ll complete the transfer procedures and return the house. If he doesn’t want it, then I’ll pay him back its value with the money I earn in the future. Our family won’t take advantage of people.”

Li Cuixia let out a big sigh of relief.

Then, she felt bad inside again.

Her own daughter is actually a distant child; she hasn’t liked anyone since she was young. It’s rare for her to have someone she likes, and Xiao Yuan treats her so well. Li Cuixia has watched Xiao Yuan grow up too; the boy is genuinely sincere. Knowing that separating Anning and Xiao Yuan made her uncomfortable inside.

But thinking of the troublesome Xiao Family, she had to harden her heart.

”As long as you know what needs to be returned, make sure you return it when you go back.”

Li Cuixia reminded.

Anning nodded with a smile, then said: ”Mom, I’m hungry, could you make me something to eat?”

Li Cuixia replied helplessly: ”Alright, alright, you take care of your sister, I’ll go buy some food.”

Capital

Yi Qihang was tied to the window at the clubhouse for a full day and night. He was in so much pain that he was near death by the time someone untied him and rescued him.

After he was rescued, his buddies cursed and insisted on calling the police to have Anning arrested, and some wanted to teach Anning a lesson.

Yi Qihang held on, shouting loudly before fainting: ”None of you are allowed! Whoever dares to trouble Anning, I’ll break off with them. This is my fault. If she’s mad, if she wants to hit or scold, that’s between us. Why are you interfering?”

After saying this, Yi Qihang fainted.

He was hospitalized, and his women were in chaos, each one taking turns to care for him, not knowing how many dramatic conflicts happened.

Meanwhile, Gu Xueqing, who took the high road, was bullied by several women together, making her very uncomfortable.

She looked at Yi Qihang lying on the hospital bed, nearly crying her eyes out.

She hated Anning for causing such harm to Yi Qihang.

Of course, Yi Qihang’s other women hated Anning too.

Though several women helped spread rumors near Yangjiazhuang when Yi Qihang first instructed it.

The reason the rumors reached Zhou Chunhua was because they were sent down by Yi Qihang’s women.

They wanted Anning to hate Yi Qihang, ensuring that Anning would never marry him.

However, these women never expected Anning to have such a bad temper and fierce personality, that she would go to the club and beat Yi Qihang, nearly costing him his life.

Now they were gritting their teeth in hatred towards Anning, contemplating ways to trouble her.

Gu Xueqing also wanted to find issues for Anning.

She decided to go to the Gu Family for help.

But before she reached the Gu Family, Gu Huai Ren called her: ”Where are you now?”

Gu Xueqing said she was at the hospital, and Gu Huai Ren instructed in a deep voice: ”Come back immediately.”

Gu Xueqing needed the Gu Family’s help; she didn’t dare say anything and quickly caught a taxi back.

Once she was back at the Gu Family, Gu Huai Ren and his wife Yao Na were there, along with Gu Xueqing’s brother Gu Zhigao.

When Gu Huai Ren saw Gu Xueqing return, he immediately got up: ”Let’s go.”

Gu Xueqing was puzzled: ”Dad, where are we going?”

”You’ll know once we’re there.”
