The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 493: Chapter 484: Slapping the Golden Finger Reborn Girl 12

Xie Minglang woke from a dream.

He suddenly sat up, panting and wiped his face, feeling his hand wet with sweat.

Thinking about the situation in the dream, Xie Minglang felt a tightness in his heart, always having a very bad premonition.

Why would he have such a dream?

The dream was incredibly realistic, unlike any other he had before; it was as if it had truly happened.

Thinking about Yu Anjing’s eyes filled with grievance at the moment of her death, those eyes lingering on him with reluctance, as well as Anning’s underhanded tactics and her pretentious acts, Xie Minglang felt so pained he could hardly breathe.

How could there be such a person?

Not only did she take credit for her sister’s achievements, but she also pushed her own sister towards death?

In his life, Xie Minglang disliked such hypocritical women the most.

The family he was sold to after being abducted had such a daughter who would set him up, and he had suffered countless grievances as a result, to the extent that he wanted to mess with that kind of woman whenever he encountered one.

”Yu Anning.”

Xie Minglang called out through gritted teeth.

His gaze was dark, and his expression held a trace of ferocity.

When dawn came, Xie Minglang called his agent: ”Cancel all recent engagements, and reject everything else.”

If it were any other celebrity’s agent, they would have cursed out loud.

But who would dare to scold Xie Minglang? Even the agent had no choice in the matter.

Xie Minglang was the pampered young master of the Xie Family, treasured after being found from several years of being lost, and spoiled by everyone in the family. He was particularly capricious, yet the Xie Family felt he had suffered in those years and wanted to compensate him, so they were even more indulgent and responsive to his demands.

Moreover, Xie Minglang was a newly-crowned movie king and a celebrity with a large following whose devoted fans were countless and fierce in the industry; almost no one dared to offend him.

Such was the young master who was coddled and humored by the agent, who dared not speak against him.

When Xie Minglang said he wanted to cancel work, the agent thought he was tired and annoyed and wanted to rest, so agreed to it.

Anning frequently visited Xiao Yuan’s house during these days.

Each time she sang for Xiao Yuan, she would record it and send the audio file to him.

After a few days of treatment, Xiao Yuan’s insomnia had greatly improved, sometimes he no longer needed Anning to sing in person; simply playing the recordings she made was enough to put him to sleep, guaranteeing a whole night of rest.

Of course, to thank Anning, Xiao Yuan also gave her a generous reward.

Xiao Yuan sent Anning a red envelope every day, and beyond that, he also gave her a bank card, which Anning checked to find contained one hundred thousand yuan. Adding up, the amount Xiao Yuan had given Anning these past days was well over one hundred thousand.

With this money, if Anning spent it sparingly, not only would she have enough to finish her second and third years of high school, but it should also cover the tuition for university.

Certainly, the tuition for Anning University was nothing to worry about. She had already planned that during the college entrance exams she would astonish everyone, and by then the scholarship money awarded by the province, the city, and the school would be enough for her to complete university.

In addition to that, Anning was also busy in the evenings. After finishing her homework, she would take on tasks online, including translation work, helping small companies maintain their websites, as well as some hacking tasks; with just these alone, Anning had earned quite a sum.

She checked her savings, and if she were to buy a one-bedroom apartment, she would have enough money for the down payment.

Thinking that the mid-term exams were approaching, and this mid-term would be a city-wide joint exam, if she could get first place, there would be a considerable bonus.

Such money was there for the taking, and Anning decided to overcome the obstacles and strive for the first place; then, she could even start fantasizing about a two-bedroom apartment.

For this reason, Anning studied with even more determination.

The midterm exams were soon approaching.

Before the midterms, Ge Yiming stopped Anning again, but Anning ignored him.

Ge Yiming also felt bored and stopped trying to find Anning afterwards.

Wei Haoxuan, while appearing like a haughty God on the surface, was still targeting Anning with his petty schemes. Anning had encountered several incidents where she was blocked and verbally abused by female athletes; she knew Wei Haoxuan was behind it all.

Anning had looked for Wei Haoxuan, but he adamantly denied any involvement.

Because of this, Anning gradually became more silent in class.

Seeing her like this, Song Zhenzhen was very worried for her and also furious about Wei Haoxuan’s despicable actions.

Originally, Song Zhenzhen had a good impression of Wei Haoxuan, but after seeing what he did to Anning, she started thinking about setting traps for him.

Fortunately, the midterm exams arrived, and with Wei Haoxuan busy reviewing for the exams, he had no time to trouble Anning anymore.

The seating arrangement for the midterm exams was based on grades, and Anning was ranked in the nineties last time, so she was placed in the third exam room.

She was in the same room as Song Zhenzhen, along with several other classmates from the same class, but they were not particularly close to Anning.

The first subject was math, which was truly a piece of cake for Anning.

After receiving the test paper, Anning first reviewed it, filled in her class, name, and student number, and then began answering the questions.

This time, the math problems were a bit difficult, but for Anning, they were easy. For other students, it wasn’t so gentle.

Anning could even hear the groans of other students in the room.

After looking through the problems from start to finish, she began answering them.

Anning was quick to answer questions. She knew the correct answers to the fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice questions at first glance, and the more significant problems at the end didn’t take much effort to solve either.

After finishing the test, there were still dozens of minutes before the exam was due, Anning checked her work again and then got up to hand in her paper.

Subsequent exams, except for Chinese where she spent a longer time writing essays, ended with her submitting the papers tens of minutes ahead of time.

Mr. Bai was worried when he learned about this and specifically called Anning to the office for a talk. Anning told him the test was not difficult and she turned in the paper only after finishing and checking everything. Mr. Bai couldn’t say much, only reminding her to be serious.

The last subject was physics, which Anning also finished early. As she got up with her test paper in hand, her body swayed, and her face turned pale as a ghost.

Anning barely made it to the front desk to hand in her paper, but as she was about to leave the exam room, she collapsed to the ground, weak.

The invigilators were terrified; one soothed and supervised the other students, while another quickly supported Anning and called another invigilator from the adjacent room to help take Anning to the school infirmary.

Mr. Bai was frantic when he heard about Anning’s fainting and rushed over.

Upon entering the infirmary and seeing Anning lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip, looking frail and pale, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of heartache.

Anning was still unconscious at the time, and Mr. Bai asked the doctor, ”Doctor Wang, how is Anning doing?”

Doctor Wang didn’t look pleased when he saw Mr. Bai: ”Are you this child’s homeroom teacher? Good that you’re here, I need to ask you; it’s not a bad thing to assign more homework to improve students’ academic performance, but you need to consider the students’ health, don’t you? While it’s good to improve learning, you can’t damage students’ health.”

Mr. Bai was baffled: ”What do you mean?”

Doctor Wang said irritably: ”This student has been studying too hard. She fainted due to severe sleep deprivation and malnutrition.”

”What?”

Mr. Bai was shocked: ”Malnutrition? That... that shouldn’t be the case.”
