The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 294: Chapter 91: Cinderella’s Comeback 36

Ren Jiayao covered her face, looking at Mrs. Ren in disbelief.

”You hit me?”

Mrs. Ren trembled with anger: ”Your father is now so busy with the company matters, trying all means to find connections. And you? When asked to talk to Qin Minghao, you’re being so uncooperative. Do you think you’ll be better off if the company fails? If you weren’t a daughter of the Ren Family, would the Qin Family let you be with Qin Minghao? Stop dreaming.”

Tears streamed down Ren Jiayao’s face.

She covered her face, crying as she returned to her room.

Mrs. Ren sat on the couch, weakened and also covering her face, crying: ”What has happened?”

Ren Jiayao entered her bedroom, climbed onto her bed, and cried.

She actually wasn’t a very resilient person, her abilities were mediocre at best. The reason she had been doing well and her studies weren’t too bad was all thanks to her understanding of this world.

As Anning had guessed, Ren Jiayao was a transmigration girl.

She was an urban office worker, living a mediocre life, running ragged in the hopes of buying a house in the big city. She loved romance novels in her spare time, often fantasizing about the day her Prince would appear to bring her a life of wealth and comfort.

Before she transmigrated, she read a book and envied the female protagonist, Gu Anning, greatly.

The conditions of Gu Anning’s house were such that she could end up with Qin Minghao and even gain the approval of Mr. and Mrs. Qin, the two living happily ever after. This made Ren Jiayao both envious and jealous.

Moreover, she fell in love with the male protagonist of the book, Qin Minghao.

She often fantasized about how wonderful it would be if she could also earn Qin Minghao’s sincere affection.

Then, she didn’t know how, but she found herself in the world of the book.

When she transmigrated into the body of Ren Jiayao, she was ecstatic, immediately starting to persuade Mr. Ren to return to the country and develop business, all in order to get close to Qin Minghao sooner.

After several years of effort, Ren Jiayao finally moved Qin Minghao to have some affection for her, and they even got engaged.

But, she still felt it wasn’t enough.

Qin Minghao was good to her, but just being good was not enough. She wanted Qin Minghao’s love without reservation, just as he loved Gu Anning.

However, no matter how much she tried, true love seemed always just one step away.

Then, she found out that a girl named Gu Anning had come to Shengzhe Middle School in her first year of high school.

She started to inquire, and when she knew Gu Anning’s home address, family situation, and academic performance, she knew that the main female character had appeared.

Ren Jiayao was terrified.

She was afraid that Qin Minghao would fall in love with the main character.

After all, the heroines of every world carry a protagonist’s halo, and their allure to the male protagonists is fatal.

In order not to lose Qin Minghao, Ren Jiayao made use of Zhao Haichao to deal with Anning.

Lying on the bed, Ren Jiayao thought about everything she had done over the years, and considering the situation of the company, she couldn’t help but cry again.

”Why has it come to this? Why is it like this? I’ve put in so much effort, why hasn’t he fallen in love with me?” she murmured to herself.

Afterward, Ren Jiayao felt an unbearable hatred: ”Gu Anning, even if I can’t be with Qin Minghao, I will not let you benefit.”

Ren Jiayao devoted effort to recollecting the plot.

But having been there for so many years, she couldn’t remember it clearly, only having a vague impression.

After a long thought, Ren Jiayao still decided to seek Qin Minghao.

After all, if the Ren Family fell, she wouldn’t have an easy life either.

Getting up, she washed her hands and face, changed into a new set of clothes, and went downstairs.

She told Mrs. Ren and then left for the Qin Family’s home.

What was Anning doing now?

She submitted the evidence, uploaded the edited video online, and used some methods to promote the video’s visibility, so more people would see it after which she stopped involving herself with the Ren Family’s affairs.

She had done her part to this extent; the Ren Family was definitely in trouble.

Now, all she had to do was watch from the sidelines.

Anning, after finishing her Olympiad Mathematics class, returned home. While doing homework, she talked to An Xin: ”Create some fake evidence to frame Zhao Haichao as the mastermind behind reporting the Ren Family and secretly filming the videos.”

An Xin was frightened when she heard it.

”Ningning, what, what are you going to do?”

Anning raised her eyebrows innocently: ”Naturally, I’m going to fulfill Zhao Haichao’s wish, isn’t he fond of Ren Jiayao? What’s wrong with letting Ren Jiayao be with him?”

Uh?

An Xin couldn’t understand. But by doing this, those two will become sworn enemies.

”Yes, indeed.”

Anning finished a math problem: ”Given Ren Jiayao’s personality, once she discovers Zhao Haichao plotted against her, she will definitely not let it go and will surely think of a way to take revenge. But by that time, the Ren Family will have fallen, and what will she have to compete against Zhao Haichao... Right, when you deliver the evidence, choose the right timing, do it when the Qin Family breaks off the engagement with her. At that time, Ren Jiayao will certainly detest Zhao Haichao to the core. She’ll want revenge, and besides using a honey trap, she won’t have any other options.”

Truly vicious.

An Xin muttered to herself.

She thought so. You shouldn’t provoke her host; otherwise, you won’t know how you died.

Also, Anning has always been at odds with Zhao Haichao before, An Xin thought Anning had changed her temperament, had become more tolerant. She didn’t expect Anning was just waiting for the right moment.

”Alright.”

What else could An Xin do? She had chosen her host, so she had to help no matter what.

After An Xin left, Anning continued solving practice problems.

The next day at school, Anning asked the homeroom teacher to enroll her in more Olympiad classes.

Then, she picked out Physics, Chemistry, and Biology Olympiads.

Teacher Li was shocked and cautiously advised Anning: ”You’re participating in so many, how can you manage all of them? In my opinion, just choose two subjects, and don’t enroll in more. You have to focus on your studies and also...”

Anning smiled: ”Teacher, I’ve already self-studied and finished all the high school courses, and I’ve also done part of the college-level courses. I really have time for this. If you don’t believe me, you can test me.”

Teacher Li was not a stubborn person.

Since Anning said so, he didn’t want to prevent her from participating in these competitions.

Nonetheless, for caution’s sake, Teacher Li brought several sets of questions for Anning to do.

Anning took the morning to complete a set of challenging questions for seniors and several Olympiad papers.

After finishing, she went back to class.

Teacher Li invited teachers from various subjects to grade the papers.

After reviewing the papers, Teacher Li felt like his teeth hurt.

The subject teachers were overjoyed.

Then, they took the matter to Principal Lan.

Teacher Li straightforwardly discussed Anning’s request with Principal Lan and also showed him the papers that Anning had done.

Principal Lan, though now overseeing the school, still hadn’t abandoned his expertise and could understand the problems given.

He looked at Anning’s test papers which were equivalent to or even harder than the college entrance examination difficulty, Anning got everything correct. Even in the Chinese essay where teachers grading the paper couldn’t find any deduction points, she got a full score.

And for those Olympiad papers, Anning also scored full marks.

Sss...

Principal Lan looked at Teacher Li, then at the papers: ”Have we stumbled upon a treasure?”

Teacher Li nodded: ”Yes, these Olympiad papers are from last year’s finals, and Anning got them all correct. She hasn’t even received Olympiad training. If the school thoroughly trains her, perhaps, she could even represent the country internationally.”

Principal Lan smiled like a blooming flower: ”If a student has a request, we should fulfill it. If a student is capable, we should guide them closely. Don’t let down the student. Since she wants to sign up for more subjects, let her. You all, the teachers in her class, make sure to properly nurture this fine seedling.”

He was becoming increasingly happy at the thought: ”If Anning really achieves great results next year, Shengzhe Middle School’s Old Fu might just die of anger. This was originally their student, but they ended up driving her away.”

Teacher Li also laughed: ”If Anning achieves results, there will surely be reporters interviewing her. By then, the campus violence at Shengzhe could no longer be hidden.”

The impact on Shengzhe would be tremendous.

Principal Lan chuckled just thinking about it.

Shengzhe had been flexing its financial muscle and poached quite a few good students from him in the past years. Now that Shengzhe’s reputation could be tarnished, he was looking forward to taking Old Fu down a peg or two.

”Alright.”

Principal Lan made a final decision: ”You guide Gu Anning well, let’s strive to cultivate an Olympiad champion.”
