The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Li Wanping started complaining as soon as she entered the bedroom.

”Ah Zhe, is your dad doing this on purpose? He must know what kind of person the Tao woman is. He’s deliberately trying to disgust me.”

As she spoke, Li Wanping cried with grievance: ”Back then when I wanted to marry you, your dad was unhappy about it. I knelt for several hours before he reluctantly agreed. It’s been so many years, yet he occasionally says hurtful things to me. Now it’s even worse; he wants to marry the Tao woman. What does he mean? Does he really want you and Xi Zhenhua to be brothers?”

Xiao Zhe looked sullen as well.

He was actually quite dissatisfied.

Regarding Xi Zhenhua, Xiao Zhe really looked down on him; he was more disgusted by Xi Zhenhua and never wanted to see him.

But now, Xi Zhenhua’s mom is going to marry his dad, what is this all about? If this gets out, won’t people laugh at them? Where would the Xiao Family’s reputation go?

What made Xiao Zhe even angrier was that they weren’t even married yet, and the old man already said he would buy a car for Xi Jingchen. What about in the future? Once that woman uses her pillow talk, and the old man gets confused, won’t he end up giving away the Xiao Family’s assets to the Xi’s?

”What can I do?” Xiao Zhe could only sulk, unable to do anything about Xiao Yuan: ”The old man is very shrewd. He still holds onto the shares tightly. His other assets are even more substantial. Ha, does he think I don’t know? He has bought numerous funds and stocks, has a large sum of money saved in overseas banks, and has real estate... If we truly provoke him, given the old man’s personality, he might really give all these enormous fortunes to outsiders.”

Li Wanping became even more anxious upon hearing this: ”No way, we can’t let them get married.”

”Then what do you suggest?”

Xiao Zhe looked at Li Wanping and asked.

Li Wanping couldn’t think of a solution for a moment.

After a while, she bit her lip: ”Tomorrow we’ll...”

Xiao Zhe was startled: ”This, can this really work? That’s a life we’re talking about.”

Li Wanping whispered: ”If not this, can you stop your dad? Do you actually want to call that old fox spirit, ’Mom’? Look at her arrogance today. Oh my, at her age, two of them still hugging and clinging together. I swear, she’s just one step away from hanging onto your dad, I felt nauseated just watching.”

Thinking about Anning’s actions today, Xiao Zhe felt quite uncomfortable.

Back when his mom was alive, his dad rarely paid attention to her. The couple barely talked to each other for ten days or half a month. It could be said that his mom got depressed from his dad’s cold violence.

But now, the old man, at his age, is playing sentimental games with an old woman, the two of them are more clingy than young people, it’s really disgusting and distressing to watch.

Thinking about this, Xiao Zhe was also filled with resentment: ”Alright, then let’s go ahead with it.”

Just as they finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Li Wanping went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, there stood Xiao Zhang at the entrance.

”Hurry and come in.” Li Wanping made way for Xiao Zhang to enter.

Xiao Zhang came in, sat down heavily on a chair, and opened his mouth to say: ”Mom, help me, make Xi Jingchen and Xia Man break up, I, I fell in love with Xia Man at first sight.”

”What?”

Li Wanping’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Xiao Zhang: ”You, you say that again, you fell in love at first sight with whom?”

Xiao Zhe also looked at Xiao Zhang with an unfriendly expression.

Xiao Zhang wasn’t afraid at all: ”It’s Xia Man, she’s exactly my type. I was completely enamored as soon as I saw her, I just want her, want to be with her. All these years, I’ve never liked a woman this much before.”

Speaking to this point, Xiao Zhang looked at Xiao Zhe: ”Dad, you should understand me, right? You were like this about my mom, weren’t you? Look at Grandpa with Grandma Xi as well... Our family produces lovers, after all, I feel like my whole life is going to fall into her hands.”

Xiao Zhe let out a breath, almost dying from anger.

If he had a knife right now, he would want to cut Xiao Zhang to pieces.

That old fox spirit stabbing his heart with every word was one thing, but now his own son is stabbing his heart too. What sins did he commit to have both old and young come to anger and disgust him?

”You, you, you...”

Xiao Zhe pointed at Xiao Zhang, so agitated that his eyes rolled.

Li Wanping quickly came over to soothe him: ”Don’t be angry, he’s still a child, we’ll teach him slowly.”

When Xiao Zhe calmed down, he cried: ”What did I do to deserve this? Xi Zhenhua and I fancied the same woman, now my son and Xi Zhenhua’s son fancy the same woman again.”

Li Wanping’s scalp started to itch.

She glared at Xiao Zhang: ”Quickly go out, stop infuriating your dad here.”

Xiao Zhang looked at Li Wanping pleadingly.

Li Wanping had no choice but to drag him out.

The mother and son found a secluded place to talk quietly.

”What’s wrong with you? There are plenty of good girls in this world, why do you insist on competing with Xi Jingchen?”

Li Wanping really couldn’t figure out what Xiao Zhang was thinking.

Xiao Zhang replied: ”There are plenty of girls, but there’s only one Xia Man. I just like her; her smile is so sweet that it sweetens my heart. If she were with me, I promise I would treat her even better than Xi Jingchen.”

Li Wanping took several deep breaths, trying to control herself not to hit Xiao Zhang: ”This won’t work, it’s impossible, never mind that she’s Xi Jingchen’s partner, they probably have been intimate already, just talking about her background...”

”Mom...”

Xiao Zhang shouted with wide eyes at Li Wanping: ”I never thought you were such a vulgar person, your mind is so filthy, talking about intimacy and background. You had already given birth to me when you married Xi Jingchen’s dad, what did Xi Zhenhua say? You divorced and then married my dad, neither of them rejected you. Moreover, speaking of background, Mom, your background is actually worse than Xia Man’s.”

Li Wanping looked at Xiao Zhang.

She was truly heartbroken.

She leaned against the wall, almost collapsing.

”Clap, clap, clap.” The sound of applause echoed.

Only then did Li Wanping notice Xiao Tong walking over at some point.

The girl had a mocking smile full of amusement: ”What a fantastic drama, go on, keep shouting. Let me see how my brother demonstrates his lack of vulgarity.”

Xiao Tong looked at Li Wanping: ”But, Aunt Li, my brother is right. You talk on and on about background and purity, don’t you feel embarrassed, don’t you feel ashamed? Speaking of purity, when you married my dad, you were even less pure; on background, Aunt Li, can you really present your background?”

”It’s not your place to speak here.”

Li Wanping was so angry, her lips turned white.

”Why isn’t it my place?”

Xiao Tong’s eyes flashed with a sharp light: ”I am the legitimate child born in wedlock, and in terms of lineage, I am the real heir of the Xiao family, the true legitimate branch, and what are you all?”

After sending Anning home, Xiao Yuan didn’t leave that night but stayed over at Anning’s place.

The two of them had been meeting for such a long time, but they hadn’t been together yet; now they finally had a chance to be alone, and with such a beautiful evening, naturally, it was like dry wood meeting a blazing fire.

After a night of tossing around, the two of them slept deeply, and it wasn’t until the sky was bright the next day that Anning opened her eyes.

”Sleep a little more.” Xiao Yuan held Anning and pulled her into his embrace: ”It’s still early. I’ve already found someone, we’ll get up later and go out for a meal before heading directly to get the marriage certificate.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang.

”Grandpa, where are you?”

The call was from Xiao Zhang: ”You should come back quickly. My sister and my mom got into a fight, and my dad can’t hold them back...”

”Are they dead yet?” Xiao Yuan asked angrily.
