The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Xia Man’s expression suddenly turned as cold as frost.

”Mr. Xiao, no matter what you think, Jingchen is your brother from the same mother, right? You clearly know I am Jingchen’s girlfriend, yet you speak such words to me without any regard. Do you think that’s appropriate?”

When Xia Man said this, she was still giving Xiao Zhang some face.

When Xiao Zhang confessed, Xia Man was utterly disgusted.

She didn’t care about Xiao Zhang’s character, nor did she want to know. But just from Xiao Zhang’s behavior, it was clear he had no regard for Xi Jingchen and even looked down on him somewhat.

”Man, Xia Man, I know it’s wrong to talk to you like this, but I can’t control myself.”

Xiao Zhang expressed his feelings to Xia Man with a pained look: ”I like you, I love you, I also want to control it, but I just can’t restrain my heart. Jingchen may be my brother, but I can’t just let you go because of that.”

Xiao Zhang looked at Xia Man and said, word by word: ”Feelings are matters of the heart, where is the right or wrong in that?”

Ha, Xia Man could have slapped Xiao Zhang right then.

No wrong? Is it not wrong to steal your brother’s girlfriend? Ignoring ethics and wanting to be a homewrecker, is that not wrong? Using your family status to pressure someone and still talking so elegantly, this man really is something else, making people so disgusted that they want to kick him out.

”But I don’t like you.”

Xia Man said through gritted teeth: ”Jingchen and I have been together for years, and now we’ve met each other’s parents. It won’t be long before we talk about marriage. At this point, I don’t want any complications. Mr. Xiao, I hope you won’t say such embarrassing things in front of me or Jingchen again.”

”Embarrassing.” Xiao Zhang was anxious. Seeing Xia Man about to leave, he hurriedly blocked her way: ”Is my sincerity in front of you just summed up with the word ’embarrassing?’”

Xia Man’s expression turned even colder: ”Besides that word, what do you want me to say? Disgusting?”

”Manman.” Xiao Zhang reached out to grab Xia Man.

Xia Man tried to avoid him, but there was a corner of the wall in front of her, and she couldn’t dodge in time. Anxiously, she waved her hand to push Xiao Zhang away.

”What are you doing?”

At this moment, a slender hand that resembled white jade caught Xiao Zhang’s wrist.

Xia Man noticed that Anning had somehow appeared in front of her.

”Grandma.” Xia Man hid behind Anning.

”Good girl, you go first.” Anning turned back and smiled at Xia Man.

Xia Man quickly slipped away.

Anning looked at Xiao Zhang coldly: ”I have never seen anyone as shameless as you. Clearly aware that Manman and Jingchen are in love, yet you shamelessly try to come between them. Ha, it was you who arranged for Hu Yushan, wasn’t it? You know what kind of person Hu Yushan is and know she loves men of Jingchen’s type. You deliberately led Hu Yushan to meet Jingchen, trying to use her to break up Jingchen and Manman. You truly have a black heart.”

”I, I didn’t.”

Xiao Zhang instinctively refuted: ”Yushan and I are good friends. That day we just met by chance.”

Anning didn’t believe a word he said: ”Xiao Zhang, Manman is my chosen granddaughter-in-law and the person Jingchen loves deeply. I don’t want their relationship to be damaged. Do you understand my meaning?”

Xiao Zhang looked at Anning, with a flash of hateful anger in his eyes: ”And what if I do? Do you intend to control me? Who do you think you are but an old fox spirit, shameless...”

With a crisp slap, Xiao Zhang felt a sting on his face.

He looked at Anning in disbelief: ”You dared to hit me.”

Anning blew on her right hand: ”So what if I hit you? I am your grandfather’s wife, which makes me your grandma. Isn’t it normal for elders to discipline the young? I’m hitting you for your own good.”

Having said that, Anning slapped him again: ”After hitting the right cheek, the left one needed balance. Now it’s symmetrical.”

Xiao Zhang looked at Anning with a face full of malice: ”Fine, I will never forget these two slaps for the rest of my life.”

”Good.” Anning smiled: ”You remember it. If you dare to pester Manman again, it won’t be just two slaps next time.”

Xiao Zhang gave Anning a vicious look and turned to leave.

Anning watched him go, with a malicious smile curling at her lips. She took out a phone from her small bag: ”A Yuan, your grandson was disrespectful to me. You wouldn’t know, the way he looked at me just now seemed like he wanted to kill me. I don’t care, you need to teach him a lesson. I want you to freeze his and Li Wanping’s cards. Yes, freeze their accounts. I’m afraid, what if they hire someone to kill me with that money? Anyway, I just don’t want them to have money in their hands.”

Someone passed by Anning, but she paid no attention and continued to sweet-talk Xiao Yuan.

If any other old woman spoke in such a sweet and soft tone, it would surely give people goosebumps.

But Anning looked young and beautiful. Her figure was graceful, and her skin was tight and lustrous. Her face was fresh and captivating, with an indescribable ethereal elegance that made one forget all mundane matters at first sight.

Yet she spoke in such a seductive and bewitching tone, making people’s hearts itch and melting their bones, tempting them to agree to whatever she said without hesitation.

”I don’t care, you said you have true feelings for me, but you aren’t even willing to freeze your grandson’s card... Fine, but I insist on teaching him a lesson. How long to freeze it depends on when he repents. If he doesn’t kneel and admit his mistake to me, keep it frozen.”

The person passing by stumbled almost to the point of falling upon hearing this.

He began to feel deep pity for Xiao Zhang.

I mean, any family whose elder married such a demon would indeed be blinded by lust; no wonder Mr. Xiao, who had kept his virtue pure most of his life, lost his integrity in his later years, insisting on marriage regardless of what his children or grandchildren thought.

He was previously puzzled by this.

Mr. Xiao marrying a younger woman might have been understandable, but marrying an old woman around his age was peculiar to many in the circle. Some even thought the old man might have been cursed. Now seeing this woman who doesn’t look at all like an old lady, he finally understood. Meeting such a seductive woman, who would care about her age? Most men would probably only think of quickly marrying her to cherish at home.

With someone like her in the Xiao Family, it seems peace will be hard to find in the future.

The man shook his head and smiled, quickly leaving this stormy place.

Anning put away her phone, raising her lips in a smile. It won’t be long before Su City’s upper class sympathizes with Li Wanping and Xiao Zhang.

It’s just uncertain what choice Xiao Zhang will make?

Will he continue his love at first sight, remaining infatuated? Or abandon his pride, his feelings, and bend his knee for money?

Anning smiled mischievously, eager to see what Xiao Zhang would choose.
