The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 241: Chapter 239: Slapping the Apocalypse Reborn Woman 20

Anning, after learning that Su Leqing settled for Yu Ping, said to An Xin with a smirk, ”Things are getting more interesting.”

An Xin shuddered upon hearing this.

The last time Anning said this, she drove a scumbag insane.

An Xin could never figure out what Anning was planning, nor did she understand why Anning tolerated Su Leqing’s antics.

This time, An Xin voiced her doubts.

”Ningning, should I get a more solid house first? Also, Su Leqing is always bouncing around, isn’t she annoying? Should we just slap her to death?”

Anning had just completed a clinical experiment at the time.

She laughed, ”I want to keep her for fun, otherwise, I’d be bored.”

”And.”

Anning raised an eyebrow: ”She pushed me to this point, if I just killed her outright, it would be too easy on her. I want all her wishes to fail, to let her scheme endlessly, only to find out in the end that she has ensnared herself.”

As Anning spoke, she even sang playfully, ”A clever person may become victim to their own cleverness, thus dooming their fate...”

An Xin shivered.

Now, she just wanted to stay as far away from Anning as possible.

Su Leqing actually made a smart move choosing Yu Ping this time.

After several coincidental meetings, Yu Ping fell madly in love with this heiress of Su family.

Initially, Yu Ping was interested in a pretty white-collar worker at his security company, planning to pursue the lady but fearing rejection. When he met Su Leqing and saw her interest in him, he immediately gave up on the white-collar worker and passionately pursued Su Leqing, complying with her every whim.

After being rejected by Zhou Zhigang, Su Leqing regained her confidence with Yu Ping.

The two started appearing together in public soon after they met.

Then, the entire elite circle of the Capital began to take notice of Su Leqing.

Some watched the Su family’s drama, others who didn’t get along with Xiao Yuan watched Xiao Yuan’s.

There were also rumors stating that Su Leqing would rather be with a security guard than Xiao Yuan, surely indicating a flaw with Xiao Yuan.

A few young masters who had always been at odds with Xiao Yuan started spreading rumors, questioning Xiao Yuan’s sexual orientation as he never showed affection towards Su Leqing, despite being fiancés and growing up together—could he be impotent, or did he prefer men?

Xiao Yuan also heard these rumors.

But he didn’t take them to heart.

It was Xiao Keke and his mother Luo Wan who were infuriated.

Luo Wan demanded that Xiao Yuan quickly find a girlfriend, while Xiao Keke wanted to introduce him to her classmate.

What could Xiao Yuan do?

Unable to withstand his mother’s pressure, he simply took a business trip.

This time, Xiao Yuan went to South City.

Xiao Group had a project to discuss there and, since South City was a coastal city, Xiao Yuan thought of buying some seafood products.

Of course, he wouldn’t buy perishable seafood; he intended to purchase durable goods such as dried fish, shrimp shells, and various types of seaweed.

Additionally, Xiao Yuan wanted some relaxation.

Upon reaching South City, he first had his secretary arrange a meeting with Yin Baichuan, settling on a time to discuss business matters, before he himself went out to stroll the streets alone.

Anning had just completed the clinical trials and was working with Yin Baichuan to apply for a patent, and then starting a pharmaceutical factory.

She had been very busy recently and didn’t have time to spend with Jixiang and Ruyi. Now that work had slowed down a bit, Anning took Jixiang and Ruyi out for some fun.

Since the season was changing, and Jixiang and Ruyi had grown recently, their old clothes were a bit tight. Anning first took the kids shopping for clothes, then planned to spend a day at the amusement park.

The aunt and her two nephews took a taxi to a department store.

At the entrance of the mall, Jixiang wanted some juice, so Anning took the kids to buy some. She was paying for the juice when, suddenly, Jixiang saw someone dressed as a mascot handing out flyers at the entrance and ran over curiously to touch it.

He ran fast, and as kids often don’t watch where they’re going, he ran right into someone.

Anning turned around and saw Jixiang had bumped into someone, so she hurried over with Ruyi.

”I’m so sorry, sir, the child is a bit mischievous...”

She apologized repeatedly, but before she could finish, both she and the unlucky gentleman whom Jixiang had bumped into were stunned: ”It’s you?”

It turned out that Jixiang had run into Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan smiled at Anning.

He had been looking for Anning for a long time without success, and unexpectedly met her in South City.

Anning also smiled slightly, ”Mr. Xiao, I’m really sorry.”

Xiao Yuan waved his hand, ”It’s okay, kids will be kids. But, do you recognize me?”

Anning looked around as there were many people, then suggested to Xiao Yuan, ”Shall we find a place to sit for a while?”

Xiao Yuan agreed, and they found a drink shop to sit down with the two kids.

Jixiang and Ruyi quietly drank their juice, and Xiao Yuan ordered some snacks for the kids before sitting down to chat with Anning.

Anning took a sip of water to moisten her throat: ”I saw Mr. Xiao once when I confronted Su Leqing.”

Xiao Yuan looked at Anning, a hint of amusement in his eyes: ”You deliberately waited at my door for Su Leqing, didn’t you?”

Anning candidly replied, ”Yes, if I wasn’t at your doorstep, given that Su Leqing fears your family, I might have been in danger already.”

Xiao Yuan’s amusement deepened.

Anning was indeed as intriguing as he imagined.

”Is there something unusual about that bracelet?”

Xiao Yuan asked again.

He wanted to confirm if Anning was fully aware.

Anning took another sip of water, ”It is unusual. My mother once mentioned that it’s handed down from our ancestors. She said an ancestor accumulated a great fortune with this bracelet and lived over a hundred years. Unfortunately, the later generations squandered the family fortune.”

Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, ”Do you still want to get that bracelet back?”

Anning waved her hand with a smile, ”Does it matter? This bracelet has been in my family for generations, and it’s said to be able to rival the wealth of nations. But even without it, given some time, I can also become incredibly wealthy on my own. I’m not particularly interested in such external things. The bracelet, to me, is just a memento, but it’s probably lost by now.”

”What do you mean?”

Xiao Yuan felt Anning was exceptionally perceptive.

”It’s probably been claimed by Su Leqing.”

Anning winked at Xiao Yuan, ”Why are you so interested in a bracelet? Or, do you think the same as I do? I’ve been keeping an eye on Su Leqing and noticed that she’s been followed by others. Were those your people? What did they find?”

Xiao Yuan was shocked for a moment, then calmed down: ”Is the bracelet, a Space Spiritual Artifact?”
