The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 500: Chapter 491: Slapping the Golden Finger Reborn Girl 19

Yu Anjing was overjoyed.

She watched as the protagonist’s halo grew stronger while Anning’s weakened, and she couldn’t help but fantasize about the bad luck that would befall Anning after seizing the protagonist’s halo from her.

And how she would become increasingly fortunate, not only excelling academically but also having a great job in the future, and surrounded by so many adoring male gods eager to court her.

The more she thought about it, the happier Yu Anjing became.

Furthermore, not only did Ge Yiming and Wei Haoxuan invite her to dinner, but Xie Minglang also sought her out, bringing her gifts and even asking her out. Yu Anjing felt all the more delighted inside.

She was looking forward to the day when the protagonist’s halo would truly be hers.

At school, Yu Anjing heard some rumors about Anning, and a girl from Senior Year Class 3 even approached Yu Anjing to inquire about her.

”Anjing, you are Anning’s sister; surely your pocket money must be about the same as hers.”

Yu Anjing smiled: ”Actually, my parents favor Anning more, her allowance is definitely more than mine.”

”Heh.”

One of the girls sneered: ”As expected, that Yu Anning is such a hypocrite, pretending to be so pitiable when who knows what she’s really like inside.”

Yu Anjing came to Anning’s defense: ”You can’t say that. When Anning left, she didn’t take anything with her, even leaving her bank card behind. Perhaps she really has no money.”

Another girl said: ”No money and she still can rent a place to live? She’s a student without a job, she can’t make any money. If she really had no money, she would have starved to death by now, how could she still be alive and well?”

”That... I really don’t know, I’ve also persuaded my parents to take Anning back, but they wouldn’t listen to me, there’s nothing I can do.”

Yu Anjing lowered her gaze, hiding the malice in her eyes.

The more she spoke like this, the more those girls believed Anning wasn’t good, and given that Anning was the beauty queen of Thirteen Middle School, it was already easy for her to attract jealousy; now with some gossip about Anning, the darker-hearted would take even greater delight in it.

Yu Anjing listened to gossip for almost half the day, her heart filled with immense joy until school was out.

After school, Yu Anjing rode home in a car.

Anning, too, was dismissed from school. On her way back, she ran into Ge Yiming.

As Ge Yiming passed by Anning, she laughed softly to herself, thinking that this was like an opportunity handed to her on a silver platter.

Just as Ge Yiming nearly zoomed past her, Anning moved quickly, quietly affixing a Spirit Talisman on Ge Yiming.

She had already taken the opportunity to apply a Spirit Talisman on Wei Haoxuan earlier in the afternoon, and now she had attached one to Ge Yiming as well. These Spirit Talismans were drawn by Anning herself, named Mind-reading charms.

Generally, anyone tagged with a Mind-reading charm could have their thoughts known by the person who affixed it.

However, Anning’s Mind-reading charm was different. Anyone affected by her Mind-reading charm could know what others were thinking.

Of course, Anning would not allow Ge Yiming or Wei Haoxuan to understand everyone’s thoughts; she would only allow them to grasp what was going on in Yu Anjing’s mind.

Having used the charm on Ge Yiming, Anning walked home with light steps.

Once home, she took a drop of blood from her heart to perform a ritual.

With this drop of blood, she placed a Mind Reading Technique on Father Yu and Mother Yu.

This Mind Reading Technique, just like the Mind-reading charm used on Ge Yiming, allowed one to understand Yu Anjing’s thoughts.

Father Yu and Mother Yu are the parents of Anning’s current body; the three of them are blood-related, so Anning could perform magic through her own blood. However, it wouldn’t work for Ge Yiming and Wei Haoxuan unless Anning made physical contact with them.

In fact, the reason why Anning’s cultivation wasn’t high at the moment was that if she could regain even one percent of her cultivation from her most powerful period, she wouldn’t need to touch Wei Haoxuan and Ge Yiming to cast spells on them.

Anning had applied the Mind Reading Technique to four people, only Xie Minglang was left. However, Anning wasn’t in a hurry; she wanted to play it slow.

When Yu Anjing returned home, neither Father Yu nor Mother Yu were there.

Mother Yu called Yu Anjing to tell her to eat dinner by herself as they would be attending a banquet that night and would return very late, telling Yu Anjing not to wait for them.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Anjing did her homework for a while and then asked Aunt Zhang to prepare some food for her.

After serving the meal to Yu Anjing, Aunt Zhang went back to the kitchen and started to contemplate how to discuss her resignation with Father Yu and Mother Yu.

Actually, Aunt Zhang’s son, Yu Ze, had told her to quit her job days ago. Yu Ze was now earning money, and his company was doing well, so he wanted his mother to relax a little. Initially, Aunt Zhang couldn’t bear to leave Anning, which was why she continued to stay at the Yu Family home.

Now that Anning had left the Yu Family for some days and seemed unlikely to return, Aunt Zhang had no more reluctance.

Moreover, during this time, Aunt Zhang felt uneasy about the actions of the Yu Family members.

She always had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, feeling restless and also being indignant on behalf of Anning, Aunt Zhang truly didn’t want to stay at the Yu Family anymore, even though they offered her a decent salary. She didn’t want to remain in a place that made her uncomfortable.

After Yu Anjing finished her dinner, Aunt Zhang came out.

She whispered to Yu Anjing, ”Anjing, I think I won’t continue working here after these next few days. I’ll explain to the teacher and Madam tomorrow. You should... try to have the teacher find you another cook who suits your tastes.”

Yu Anjing was stunned for a moment, ”Aunt Zhang, you’ve been with our family for so many years, we’ve always gotten along well, why are you suddenly leaving?”

Aunt Zhang sighed, ”It’s all because of Yu Ze. He’s been nagging me to resign for days. He even said he wants me to move in with him. He’s busy with work now, no one takes care of him, and he often skips meals. I’m not at ease if I don’t look after him.”

Yu Anjing thought of Yu Ze. She remembered that in her previous life, Yu Ze’s business was indeed doing well initially, but later his company’s core technology was stolen. It was Anning who helped them through the difficult time.

Thinking of the good relationship between Yu Ze and Anning, Yu Anjing felt a hint of malice.

She curled her lips, ”Alright then, just tell my dad about it. Whenever you want to leave is fine.”

Aunt Zhang wiped her hands and responded.

Yu Anjing sat for a while longer, then, without waiting for Father Yu and Mother Yu, she went upstairs alone to sleep.

It was not until midnight that Father Yu and Mother Yu returned.

Both had drunk a little and were dizzy and weary. After taking a bath, they went straight to bed to rest.

They both overslept the next day.

By the time they got up, Yu Anjing had already gone to school.

Aunt Zhang talked to Father Yu about resigning, and after understanding the situation, Father Yu readily agreed.

Since Aunt Zhang had been with the Yu Family for many years and had good relations, Father Yu gave her an additional two months’ salary and told her that if she ever needed anything, she could come to him.

Aunt Zhang smiled and agreed.

With Aunt Zhang leaving, Mother Yu naturally had to be busy looking for a new maid.

For a while, Father Yu and Mother Yu were again busy.

Meanwhile, after attending two classes at Thirteen Middle School, Yu Anjing sent a WeChat message to Ge Yiming suggesting they have lunch together.
