The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Feng Na’s efficiency is still quite high.

Anning asked her and Vice President Xue to acquire a website the day before, and just a day later, they had acquired a video website that used to be popular.

At this time, most of the video websites were broadcasting web dramas or some well-made short films, and even if it’s live streaming, they mostly involved singing or dancing live sessions.

The website Feng Na acquired was called Time Net. In its early days, it was very popular, but due to poor management and a broken funding chain, the entire site was on the verge of closing down.

When Mrs. Yun showed an intention to acquire, they hurriedly packaged it and sold it, because if it wasn’t sold, the owner would probably face bankruptcy.

After acquiring Time Net, Anning went over to check the management status and made some integrations.

Afterward, she called Xiao Yuan to invite him to visit when he had time.

After the call, Anning had an appointment with someone to discuss business, she briefed Feng Na on some things, picked up a camel coat, draped it over her shoulders, and walked out.

As she reached the downstairs of the company, she saw Rong Junhao approaching.

”Got time? I’d like to talk to you.”

Anning checked her watch: ”I have fifteen minutes free.”

Rong Junhao pointed to a small shop nearby: ”How about we go sit down for a chat?”

”Okay.” Anning nodded.

The two of them went inside and found a place to sit down, facing each other, Rong Junhao asked Anning calmly, ”Do you know who Xiao Yuan really is? What kind of family does he come from? Who are his family members? What sort of person is he?”

Anning ordered a drink: ”Is this very important?”

Rong Junhao spun a cup in his hand, his eyes fixed on Anning: ”We grew up together from childhood, and because of all those years of feelings, I did something... that hurt you. You don’t know him. How are you sure he won’t betray or hurt you?”

Anning took a sip of her drink: ”How would he hurt me? Would it cost me my life? Not likely.”

Rong Junhao coughed twice: ”Why did you arrange for Ning Ruoxi to be by his side? Are you testing him?”

A soft sound echoed, Anning lightly placed the cup on the table: ”You’re really tiresome, thinking people are so bad, or maybe, you yourself are just a bad person.”

Rong Junhao frowned.

Anning let out a cold laugh: ”It’s because I trust Ning Ruoxi, she’s a very innocent and upright person.”

”Innocent, upright?” Rong Junhao raised an eyebrow, a hint of incredulity in his eyes: ”You think she’s a good person?”

”What else?” Anning shrugged: ”Unless you still think you’re the good person?”

Rong Junhao pleaded: ”Could you speak without sarcasm? Can’t we have a proper talk?”

Anning looked at Rong Junhao, speaking word by word: ”What more do you want from me? Didn’t I already sit down and talk with you? Fine, since we’re talking, let me clear things up once and for all: Yes, I trust Ning Ruoxi, and I also trust Xiao Yuan. I’ve never hated Ning Ruoxi, after all, she didn’t do anything wrong in the past life. Don’t talk about her seducing you, because I won’t believe a word of it. Whether it was in her previous or current life, Ning Ruoxi has never loved you. She isn’t a materialistic girl. Tell me, how did she seduce you?”

This made Rong Junhao momentarily speechless.

He said in a resentful tone: ”In that life, it was because of her that I wronged you.”

Anning shook her finger: ”No, it wasn’t because of anyone, don’t push the blame onto others, okay? I’ve guessed how you and Ning Ruoxi might have been. Listen to what I think, and see if I’m right: Did you fall for Ning Ruoxi in your past life?”

Rong Junhao quickly denied: ”I was momentarily infatuated, obsessed with the warmth of her care, but I did not love her.”

”I don’t care how you think of it, infatuation or love, but Ning Ruoxi never truly liked you. She wouldn’t knowingly get entangled with you even knowing we were engaged. I remember that she probably left in the previous life, and then you? You got entangled with her, leveraging wealth and power for a forced marriage. You feared she’d run away again, so after forcing her to stay by your side, you trapped her with no freedom at all, right?”

Anning grinned at Rong Junhao, but her words made his heart pound: ”I guess Ning Ruoxi couldn’t take it, and eventually, you might have died because of her. See, someone like you doesn’t deserve love. I loved you so much in the past life but ended up dying by your hands. You loved Ning Ruoxi so much but ended up dying by her hands. Your character is problematic; you don’t know how to love or respect someone. You’re too self-centered, too arrogant, and too conceited; to the point that you’re full of flaws. I can’t think of a single merit no matter how much I ponder.”

Feeling a bit thirsty, Anning picked up the drink and took a sip, continuing: ”You tell me, how am I supposed to accept you? Even without the past life where I ended up dead by your hands, after spending time together, I’d surely be disgusted with you. In our previous life, even if we barely managed to be wed, it wouldn’t have been long before we divorced and became a pair of resentful couple. Rong Junhao, let me tell you, always look for reasons from yourself in everything, and don’t push every inconvenience onto others.”

After saying this, Anning stood up, grabbed her bag, and walked out, but took a few steps and turned to look at Rong Junhao: ”I’ve said all I needed to, I hope we have no intersection in the future, and I wish you all the best.”

Rong Junhao suddenly stood up, chasing after Anning: ”Do you not hate me?”

He tried to grab Anning, but she nimbly avoided him: ”It’s not about love or hate; I just want to keep my distance from you and live my life well now.”

Anning laughed lightly: ”Being well on our own is the best state for us.”

She quickened her pace, reached her car, pulled open the door, and got in. Without waiting for Rong Junhao to say anything, Anning had already driven quite far.

Rong Junhao angrily punched the nearby pillar: ”I will make sure you return to my side.”

He took out his phone, drafted a message to Anning, and sent it over.

Anning arrived at the place she agreed upon with Mr. Li, glanced at her phone, and saw the message Rong Junhao sent. After reading, she chuckled and immediately deleted it.

The message Rong Junhao sent to Anning roughly informed that Xiao Yuan was not really Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Nian, the second son of the Xiao Family. During the middle school entrance exams, his grades were particularly poor, and then he assumed Xiao Yuan’s identity to get into a prestigious high school, forcing the real Xiao Yuan to attend a vocational high school.

But he was just a poor student; he didn’t work hard, and getting into a prestigious high school was a waste, his grades were at the bottom there, and he even dragged others down in the college entrance exams, ending up not even qualifying for a bachelor’s degree, leaving the high school falling short of a hundred percent bachelors rate last year.

Rong Junhao meant for Anning to see through this person and ensure she wasn’t being deceived.

Does Anning care about this?

She deleted the message and met with Mr. Li, then mentioned this matter to Xiao Yuan afterward.

”The fact that your younger brother took your place twice is really hard to imagine; most people wouldn’t believe it. At most, people would just think you switched identities during middle school exams. As for the college exam... Rong Junhao thinks that most people would assume as much; if you want to expose this matter, it’ll take a lot of effort.”
