The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Xiao Yuan had long suspected that Xiao Lu was the main character of this world.

Through their time together and observation, Xiao Yuan became even more convinced.

Xiao Lu’s talent was too outstanding; she was born with an innate Daoist and could open the Heavenly Eye. If not for being sealed initially, she could have figured out how to become a Mysticism Master on her own without anyone’s guidance.

”I suspect that Lulu and Yilin being swapped wasn’t a coincidence, but someone did it deliberately.”

”In other words, besides Sun Hong, there’s someone else secretly watching our family.”

Anning quickly understood what Xiao Yuan meant by this.

Xiao Yuan nodded: ”Possibly, let’s keep an eye on it.”

After discussing things with Anning for a while, they came out to eat.

After dinner, Anning reviewed homework with the children, while Xiao Yuan found a place to cultivate.

Now that the enemy is hidden while they are in the open, and with a Heavenly Master lurking in the shadows, Xiao Yuan must improve his cultivation.

Capital, Hao Family

As soon as Xie Kun entered, he looked for Hao Zhicheng.

The cousins hid in a room to talk secretly.

”Cousin, have you found a powerful Heavenly Master?”

As soon as he entered the room, Xie Kun eagerly asked Hao Zhicheng.

Hao Zhicheng shook his head: ”Not yet, you can’t rush things like this.”

Xie Kun grumbled angrily: ”How can I not be anxious? You have no idea how troublesome He Xiaohong is; causing chaos every day, making the household unsettled. I really wish I could kick their whole family out immediately.”

”What’s happened? Has something happened again?” Hao Zhicheng asked.

Xie Kun gritted his teeth in anger: ”Of course something happened again. A few days ago, He Xiaohong’s younger son, Sun Fu, went out to play and harassed Ding Yu. My uncle and dad said Sun Fu should go apologize to the Ding Family, whether they beat him or scold him, he should take it to cool their anger. But He Xiaohong refused, crying and shouting that my uncle and dad don’t care even when their nephew suffers, claiming they want to harm him. You have no idea how furious my dad is. If she keeps on like this, who knows how many people she’ll end up offending on our behalf.”

Speaking of He Xiaohong, Hao Zhicheng sighed secretly: ”I know you’re anxious, but you can’t rush this. After all, Sun Hong’s connections, status, and cultivation are formidable. If you really expose things, your family’s in danger. If Sun Hong loses face and decides to eliminate your family, wouldn’t you regret it later?”

Xie Kun was precisely worried about these things, which is why he didn’t dare show any signs of it in front of his family.

”Brother, help us find some powerful Heavenly Masters as soon as possible. I can’t stand it even for another day.”

Hao Zhicheng patted Xie Kun’s shoulder: ”I’ll definitely help you. I refuse to believe that in this vast world, there’s no Heavenly Master more powerful than Hao Zhicheng.”

At this point, Xie Kun remembered something: ”By the way, in a few days, I plan to visit Baisha County. I want to see my real aunt.”

”Alright then.”

Hao Zhicheng nodded: ”Be careful on the road.”

Meanwhile, a few days later at Anning’s side, Xiao Yuan searched online and found that Sun Hong had returned to the Capital. He told Anning: ”I want to make a trip to the Capital. We can’t just hide; I need to assess the opponent’s strength.”

Anning began packing for Xiao Yuan, taking most of the talismans they drew during this time, along with some artifacts they acquired, and defensive Spiritual Artifacts that Xiao Yuan had refined. The goal was to arm Xiao Yuan to the teeth.

After seeing Xiao Yuan off, Anning received a message from Yue Ya, an editor from the women’s section, saying that a company was interested in Anning’s story ”The Glass Slippers of Cinderella” and wanted to buy the rights, asking Anning what she thought and whether she’d like to discuss with them.

Anning wrote the book intending to adapt it into a TV show herself, so she didn’t want to sell it. She directly told Yue Ya that she wouldn’t sell.

Yue Ya tried to persuade Anning, saying the other party was a big company, the kind with significant connections.

No matter how influential the company was, Anning had no plans to sell, and she firmly refused.

Subsequently, Anning specifically searched the company online.

The entertainment company was called Xingchen Entertainment, one of the three major players in the domestic entertainment industry, a subsidiary under the Hao Family.

Even after finding this out, Anning wasn’t too concerned.

However, within a few days, a senior executive from Xingchen Company called Anning specifically to discuss the rights.

No matter what the other party said, Anning firmly refused.

Anning, an author and not a celebrity, wouldn’t sell the rights, and the other party couldn’t do anything about it.

Meanwhile, Xie Kun arrived in Baisha County.

He knew where Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin lived, so he went directly to the community and happened to encounter them returning from grocery shopping.

The elderly couple had bought quite a bit, and they were tired from carrying it. They rested now and then while carrying the groceries home.

Seeing Mrs. Qin, Xie Kun was already certain that she was his real aunt.

He quickly approached with a smile: ”Uncle, Aunt, let me help you with that.”

Mrs. Qin eyed Xie Kun: ”Young man, I don’t think I’ve seen you before?”

Xie Kun smiled: ”My family just moved here, in the last building over there.”

”Alright, thank you then.”

Upon hearing he was a resident, Mrs. Qin chatted with him amicably as Xie Kun helped carry the groceries, chatting with her along the way.

After accompanying Mr. and Mrs. Qin to their door and coming downstairs again, Xie Kun had a few strands of Mrs. Qin’s hair in hand.

He immediately headed to N City with the hair.

Xie Kun had brought hair from Mr. Xie and the Old Madam when coming to Baisha County, and now with Mrs. Qin’s, he went to have a paternity test done at a hospital in N City.

Money was no object for Xie Kun, so he paid extra to get the results as fast as possible.

Then, Xie Kun found a restaurant outside the hospital for a meal, afterward visiting an internet cafe for a while. By the time he figured it was ready, he returned to the hospital to collect the results.

Sure enough, just as Xie Kun thought, Mrs. Qin was indeed his real aunt.

With confirmation, Xie Kun thought of the information Hao Zhicheng uncovered about Mrs. Qin and his anger flared.

The He Family was too unscrupulous. Back when Mr. Xie and the Old Madam gave birth to He Dahong, due to certain special reasons and unstable times, they could only foster her with a local family. At the time, the He Family seemed decent, so the Old Madam entrusted He Dahong to them, with Mr. Xie leaving a considerable sum, and the Old Madam giving several valuable pieces of jewelry and a small gold ingot.

Those things were enough for He Dahong to grow comfortably into adulthood.

But what did the He Family do?

After waiting two years with no one from the Xie Family coming to pick up He Dahong, they started exploiting her in various ways, and even attempted to marry her off to a fool when she grew up.

Enough said, not even considering that they took so much from others and ought to treat He Dahong better, if the He Family treated her the same as He Xiaohong or even just slightly worse, Xie Kun wouldn’t be this angry.

What made Xie Kun furious was that the He Family agreed to take care of her properly and took so much money, yet they used the Xie Family’s girl like livestock. Furthermore, they audaciously replaced He Dahong’s identity, causing the Xie Family to unknowingly support He Xiaohong’s family for so many years and offend countless people for her.

Either way, Xie Kun couldn’t bear it any longer. Returning to the hotel with the results, he called his father, Xie Xu.

He recounted everything to Xie Xu in detail and sent photos of the paternity test results to him.
