The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 642: Chapter 629: My Daughter Is a Vicious Supporting Female Character 29

”Jingjing’s move this time is wickedly clever.”

”I salute Jingjing’s awesomeness.”

”Even the Old Madam has to bow down to you; there’s no bigger slap in the face than this. I say your painting is fake, why? Because the real one is in my house, haha...”

”I just wanna ask, does Zou Xuexuan’s face hurt?”

”I study history, and what Jingjing said is true. Historical documents do indeed record that after Yin Song painted the Moonlit Night Painting, he gave it to his good friend Sheng Lai.”

”Jingjing said Sheng Lai is her ancestor. I looked into Sheng Lai’s background and was shocked. Speaking of which, Jingjing’s heritage... could she really be a descendant of the Sheng Family?”

”The Sheng Family? Without looking you wouldn’t know, once you do, it’s quite shocking. The Sheng Family has produced many notable people since ancient times, and it seems like the recent Sheng Wenhan also has the surname Sheng.”

Under Sheng Jingjing’s Weibo post, there’s a whole string of comments, and the topic got derailed to who knows where by the end. Anyway, her fans are all very happy, laughing and joking all the way.

Zou Xuexuan’s mood, however, is not so wonderful.

Zou Xuexuan glared at the Moonlit Night Painting with fury: ”This thing is actually fake, mom, you actually got me a fake painting...”

Liu Yue Mei was also quite anxious: ”That’s impossible, this was given to me by your grandfather, your grandfather couldn’t have made a mistake, it has been authenticated by professionals.”

”Then why is Sheng Jingjing so sure it’s fake and even claims the real one is in her house? What kind of nonsense is she talking about?”

Zou Xuexuan has already lost face big time and is almost losing her reason out of anger.

”We will get someone to authenticate it.”

Liu Yue Mei picked up the painting and was about to head out.

But Zou Xuexuan didn’t want her to embarrass herself further: ”No need, even Yue Haichang said it’s fake, who else could say it’s real?”

Liu Yue Mei felt deflated and after sitting down, she gritted her teeth with hatred: ”Damn it, they’re obviously doing it on purpose.”

On Sheng Jingjing’s end, she was discussing with Anning about being gifted shops and companies.

”I understand why Uncle Xiao gave me clothes now, it was out of respect for my mother, to support me. But what about the other two?”

Sheng Jingjing looked at Anning and asked: ”At that time, several lawyers kept whispering this and that into my ears, they really have a way with words. I was so overwhelmed that I signed without fully understanding. Now the more I think about it, the more it feels wrong. Mom, if it’s not okay, could you help me think of a way to return it to them?”

Anning patted Sheng Jingjing’s hand and laughed: ”Don’t worry about it, just accept them. They’re gifts from them.”

”What people?”

Sheng Jingjing grew even more curious; she hadn’t even met them and they were already giving gifts. That was quite extravagant.

”Your uncle.”

Anning said with a smile.

”What?”

Sheng Jingjing’s eyes widened in surprise: ”Didn’t you say it was just the two of us left in the Sheng Family?”

Anning tapped Sheng Jingjing’s forehead: ”They don’t carry the Sheng surname. They were children adopted by your great-grandfather and grew up with me. It’s just that we separated due to some misunderstandings. They must have heard our news and came back. They’re all family, they won’t harm you. If they give it to you, just keep it. They can afford it.”

Only after Anning said it was fine did Sheng Jingjing really relax.

Then, she seemed especially happy: ”I just realized I’ve suddenly become wealthy, I’ve become a billionaire...”

Anning couldn’t help but laugh and cry: ”Wasn’t what I gave you enough, don’t you have any idea how much this mansion alone is worth? Alright, let’s not talk about this, let’s focus on preparing for the show.”

In a few days, they would have to start filming the show again, and it was still uncertain where they would go this time. Anning and Sheng Jingjing needed to prepare carefully.

”Wasn’t it said we were going abroad this time?”

Sheng Jingjing asked.

Anning shook her head: ”I probably won’t go. The country that was originally planned is a bit chaotic now, and the program team wants stability. I doubt we will be going abroad for a while. My guess is that this episode of the program will be filmed in some city. I’m not quite sure what we’ll have to do there yet.”

Sheng Jingjing couldn’t think of where it might be and soon gave up trying to guess.

She insisted on Anning teaching her how to sing.

So Anning taught Sheng Jingjing some cultivation methods, telling her to cultivate her Spiritual Power first before teaching her to sing.

”The technique I use for singing was learned from mermaids and sea demons. If you want to learn it, you’ll need to cultivate your Spiritual Power first. With Spiritual Power, you can sing songs that truly move people’s hearts. Remember, mermaids’ songs are especially bewitching.”

Sheng Jingjing was dumbfounded: ”No way, Mom, are you just making this up? Mermaids don’t exist.”

Anning patted her head: ”Silly child, there’s so much you don’t know about this world.”

She then told Sheng Jingjing, ”Once this episode is finished filming, I’ll take you somewhere.”

She had made it a condition when she handed over the Array that she would be allowed to take someone with her to learn, and at that time, she had already decided to bring Sheng Jingjing.

Sheng Jingjing asked Anning where she planned to take her, but Anning didn’t tell her.

Feeling dejected, Sheng Jingjing found herself unable to figure it out.

She has always considered herself a rather clever person, but in front of Anning, she felt quite dull.

Sheng Jingjing wondered if it was because of Zou Huai De’s genes, possibly dragging down the intelligence level of the Sheng Family.

Zou Huai De has been quite busy lately.

He had partnered with others to buy a piece of land to develop a vacation resort.

The land was vast; developing it would require a substantial sum of money, but if successful, the profits wouldn’t be small.

That’s what Zou Huai De was engrossed in lately.

He had originally planned to get the Xiao Family involved as partners, and Xiao Kai had previously agreed.

He thought since Xiao Kai’s brother was disabled, the Xiao Family Enterprises would eventually be Xiao Kai’s, so he was particularly confident in Xiao Kai’s promise.

But then, Xiao Yuan unexpectedly stood up.

Having controlled Xiao Family Enterprises for many years, if Xiao Yuan had remained disabled, Xiao Kai would have had a chance to take over. But now that Xiao Yuan had recovered, Xiao Kai’s chances were slim.

Meanwhile, Zou Huai De had approached Xiao Yuan, hoping to have Xiao Family Enterprises invest in the vacation resort development.

But Xiao Yuan firmly refused, not even willing to listen to the benefits of the resort development, instructing his secretary to show Zou Huai De out.

Fuming, Zou Huai De called to complain to Xiao Kai.

Xiao Kai was also annoyed.

He had gone out with friends the day before, and they had ridiculed him, saying he wasn’t treating his girlfriend well. She’d been showing off a forged painting, and it had been publicly spotted, which was hugely embarrassing for him.

This made Xiao Kai lose face significantly.

He was actually a bit upset with Zou Xuexuan.

”Why would you show off something like that when you’re not a collector nor knowledgeable about antiques and calligraphy? Are sports cars not fun to drive, or do you not have enough designer bags? Showing off any of those would be fine,” he thought.

His anger hadn’t subsided when Xiao Kai received a phone call from Zou Huai De.

Zou Huai De started to vent to him right away.

Xiao Kai was seething: ”Uncle Zou, as you know, I usually don’t get involved with the family business. My brother’s been managing the company all these years, and there hasn’t been a single mistake. He doesn’t speak highly of that project, so it might not be as promising as Uncle Zou thinks. I’d advise you to be a bit more cautious.”
