The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 635: Chapter 623: My Daughter Is a Vicious Supporting Female Character 23

Having dealt with the Task Taker, Anning could well complete the task.

She had originally planned to vacation in this world.

She thought of vacationing, learning some skills along the way, and then incidentally completing the task.

But, the very next morning, An Xin returned.

”Ningning, the Main God has discovered issues with this world. The disappearance of a Task Taker has alarmed the Main God, and soon many Task Takers will swarm here. Also, I’ve found information about a small world you once were cannon fodder in, and it’s been tagged. Whenever you want to go there.”

An Xin knew what Anning’s greatest regret was, and what she most wanted to do.

Anning’s most desired actions were to take revenge on the Main God and to find those small worlds where she had been cannon fodder, to live in them of her own free will, without anyone else’s control.

And An Xin had always been helping Anning search for those small worlds.

The two of them had traversed through the chaotic flows of time and space, and had searched many places, but had not found a single one.

Now, An Xin had finally found one.

Naturally, Anning was overjoyed upon hearing the news of the discovery of a small world she’d once stayed in.

She now couldn’t wait to go there, to vent all the frustrations she had previously suffered.

However, as the task in the current small world was not yet completed, Anning could not leave.

”We have to speed up the process.”

This is what Anning said to An Xin.

An Xin nodded in agreement.

After the three-day program finished filming, there would be a few days of rest.

Anning and Zou Jingjing packed their things to go home, and on the way back, Zou Jingjing received a phone call from Sister Hong.

”Jingjing, your luck has turned.”

Sister Hong was especially happy: ”Hurry back, I have a few things to tell you when you come back.”

Once back in the Capital, Anning returned to the courtyard house, while Zou Jingjing went to her own home.

Anning sorted things out a bit at the courtyard house and originally thought about visiting Zou Jingjing, but before she had even left, she heard the doorbell ring.

Anning pressed the intercom and heard a voice that made her soul tremble: ”Ningning, I’m here.”

Anning rushed outside.

She opened the courtyard door and saw Xiao Yuan sitting in a wheelchair.

Although Anning knew about Xiao Yuan’s car accident, when she actually faced Xiao Yuan, now disabled, she still felt a sting of heartache.

She walked over and pushed the wheelchair into the courtyard.

”When did you get here?”

Anning asked.

Xiao Yuan chuckled: ”More than a year ago.”

Anning sighed: ”I’ve been here for twenty years, stuck in one place for twenty years, unable to leave.”

While speaking, Anning pushed Xiao Yuan into the house.

She crouched down and reached out to touch Xiao Yuan’s legs: ”What happened to these? Can they be treated?”

Xiao Yuan grasped Anning’s hand: ”They can be treated. I’ve been undergoing treatment this past year, my legs should be almost recovered.”

Upon hearing this, Anning smiled, a smile so bright: ”Really? That’s great.”

Xiao Yuan truly relaxed only after confirming that Anning was safe.

He stood up with effort and took a few steps in front of Anning, so she could also be reassured.

Afterward, the two nestled together on the couch, leaning on each other.

However, the good times were always fleeting, and it wasn’t long before the doorbell rang again.

Anning, after answering the call, knew it was a delivery.

She took the parcel from outside.

She opened it to find a photograph inside. In the photo were five middle-aged men and women, people Anning was quite familiar with.

She gazed at those five people, then suddenly smiled.

Then, her phone rang.

Upon answering, Anning could tell who was calling.

It was Jiang Shaohui: ”Ningning, we know you’re back. We want to come and see you. Do you... want to see us?”

Jiang Shaohui spoke very cautiously, his tone filled with a hint of timidity and some fawning.

”Come over.”

Anning agreed with a smile.

After hanging up, she turned to Xiao Yuan and said, ”My brothers and sisters are coming.”

Xiao Yuan didn’t yet know Anning’s current status; Anning then explained in detail to him.

When Xiao Yuan learned of the days Anning had spent beneath the cliff, he wished he could immediately grab Zou Huai De and tear him into pieces.

A glimmer of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes.

But in front of Anning, he was extremely gentle.

Zou Jingjing returned to her place and was greeted with Sister Hong’s smiling face as soon as she entered.

”Jingjing, your luck is really too good.”

Sister Hong pulled Jingjing to sit down: ”Take a look at these, so many good scripts, and several endorsements too. Also, Zhou’s Jewelry wants to contact us, they’re thinking of inviting you to be their image spokesperson.”

Zou Jingjing was startled at first, then excitedly asked, ”Really?”

You know, Zhou’s Jewelry is a big player in the industry, their jewelry has high standards. If Zou Jingjing could become their spokesperson, it would elevate her status a lot. Later, when taking big endorsements, it would be much easier, and the price would be more negotiable.

”Really.”

Sister Hong nodded incessantly: ”Also, the national network is about to launch a national treasure-themed program, and they invited you to participate, and there’s more...”

My god, all these high-profile programs reaching out, Zou Jingjing almost thought she was dreaming.

She pinched Sister Hong hard: ”Does it hurt?”

Tears fell from Sister Hong’s eyes: ”It hurts.”

”Then it’s not a dream.”

Zou Jingjing was almost deliriously happy.

Sister Hong asked Zou Jingjing: ”Why didn’t you pinch yourself?”

Zou Jingjing replied: ”I’m afraid of pain.”

”So apparently, I’m not afraid of pain.”

Sister Hong was so exasperated.

But now Zou Jingjing was like the little ancestor, who had to be treated with great care, even if there was anger, it couldn’t be released, it could really suffocate someone.

”And there’s more, there’s more.”

Sister Hong remembered something else: ”Director Guan is about to shoot a big-budget movie, and they have handed our script over, wanting you to audition for the second female lead.”

Zou Jingjing was almost numbed by the good news.

However, she was determined to compete for Director Guan’s movie.

After all, Director Guan is one of the most famous directors in the country, his films attract both box office and critical acclaim, real gems. Every time Director Guan is about to shoot a new movie, countless people in the industry would fight tooth and nail just to appear in his films.

For Zou Jingjing to get the script for the second female lead, it really was like manna from heaven.

”When does the audition start?”

Zou Jingjing asked Sister Hong.

”Tomorrow.”

Sister Hong answered.

Zou Jingjing immediately grabbed the script to look it over, then dragged Sister Hong out: ”Let’s hurry, we need to go buy clothes.”

Zou Jingjing was to play the red-clothed female hero, so to fit the character image during the audition and make an impression, she needed a red outfit, and she really didn’t have that in her wardrobe.

Sister Hong understood why Zou Jingjing was in such a rush.

She immediately followed Zou Jingjing out.

Sister Hong drove Zou Jingjing to a store where she often shopped for clothes.

When Zou Jingjing entered, there was a young girl inside choosing clothes.

Zou Jingjing didn’t pay attention to the girl, and just started selecting clothes.

She picked several red garments and discussed with Sister Hong which one to choose.

Sister Hong urged Zou Jingjing to try them on first.

Zou Jingjing tried on all the outfits but still couldn’t decide which one to pick.

It’s just that her figure was so good, she looked great in any piece.

Just as Zou Jingjing was struggling to choose, the girl selecting clothes came over smiling: ”Fussing so much over a few clothes, really, such a pauper.”

She pointed to the sets Zou Jingjing had picked out: ”This one, and this one, pack them all up for me.”

Zou Jingjing said indignantly, ”Miss, I picked these clothes first, I still haven’t decided...”

”Waiting for you to decide.”

The girl sneered as she looked Zou Jingjing up and down: ”By then, the daylilies would have gone cold. Since you can’t afford it, don’t delay others from buying clothes.”

”It’s not like that, I picked them first; what are you cutting in line for?”

Zou Jingjing got increasingly angry: ”Salesperson, pack up all these clothes for me.”

The girl’s face was filled with mockery: ”Can you afford it? You’re just a singer, how much money can you have? I advise you not to compete with me on this matter.”

Hmph.

With Zou Jingjing’s temper, she had to stand her ground: ”What if I just buy them?”

”Go ahead and buy them all if you’re so capable.”

The girl was sharp-tongued as well: ”Don’t even look at what status you have, daring to cling on to my cousin. Let me tell you, my cousin wouldn’t fancy someone like you, our family only acknowledges Xuanxuan.”

Zou Jingjing was initially puzzled, this girl and she weren’t familiar, yet she came up causing trouble.

Now she understood, it was about this. This girl must be Xiao Kai’s cousin or something, anyway, she was speaking out for Zou Xuexuan.

Before, Zou Jingjing had interacted with Xiao Kai, then, a lot of internet trolls came out saying Zou Jingjing was meddling in Xiao Kai and Zou Xuexuan’s relationship, wanting to be the other woman.

This girl must have heard those rumors.
