The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 707: Chapter 694: I Am Not a Slut 5 (Bonus for 750 Monthly Tickets)

Anning walked out of the Gu family building, feeling a lot more refreshed in her heart.

She strode forward briskly, brushing past a group of people as she exited.

The leader of the group, a man in a dark suit, felt a whiff of fragrance as she passed by and couldn’t help but look back, catching a glimpse of her graceful silhouette.

He couldn’t resist whistling, ”Ah Yan, is she an employee of your company? That figure is truly top-notch.”

Another man with a cold expression paused for a moment before responding, ”I don’t know.”

In the secretarial office on the top floor of the Gu family building, a delicately petite and exceptionally adorable girl frowned at a text message on her phone.

Her normally cute and sweet face looked somewhat fierce due to her anger.

The text message was about Anning’s resignation.

The girl bit her lip and said angrily, ”Resigned? She actually resigned? How could she? I haven’t personally ruined her yet.”

Anning’s resignation was bad news for the girl; she always had an ominous premonition, feeling like everything was slipping out of her control.

Anning didn’t loiter outside; she carried her shopping home.

As she entered, she could hear the sound of arguing inside.

”You refuse to give money when asked, and you’re not happy even when we kindly find a match for your daughter. What more do you want?”

That hearty voice was unmistakably Grandma Jiang’s.

Anning placed her shopping in a cabinet by the entrance, changed her shoes, and walked in.

Grandma Jiang caught sight of Anning immediately.

Seeing Anning, Grandma Jiang couldn’t help but frown, ”What kind of look is that, dressed up like a little demon. What family would want such an indecent girl like you? Change your clothes at once and go see a suitor with Grandma.”

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang turned around to look at Anning at this time.

Seeing Anning’s outfit, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang didn’t say anything.

Grandma Jiang, however, looked particularly disdainful, ”I’m talking to you. Are you listening or not?”

Anning flicked her hair and sat down, ”I heard you, but I need to have a proper discussion with you about this. How am I indecent? What’s wrong with the clothes I’m wearing? Is this how a grandmother should curse her own granddaughter?”

Grandma Jiang clutched her chest, looking pained, ”How could you talk to an elderly person like this?”

Grandpa Jiang also glared at Anning, ”A young lady ought to be quiet and well-behaved. What kind of image are you presenting?”

Anning chuckled softly, ”Grandpa, who told you a girl has to be quiet and well-behaved? During the war, if it weren’t for that Iron Lady saving you, would you still be alive? If the Iron Lady had been quiet and well-behaved, how could she have joined the military, killed enemies, and served the country? Without people fighting enemies at the front lines, you wouldn’t have the chance to sit here and lecture me now, would you?”

Anning wasn’t angry; she just spoke to Grandpa Jiang with a charming and enchanting smile, leaving him clutching his chest, gasping for breath.

Grandma Jiang took quite a while to recover, and immediately scolded Mr. Jiang, ”This is the good daughter you’ve raised, daring to be so disrespectful to the elderly. Fine, if you don’t hand over the money today or agree to this marriage, then your dad and I will just stay here and not leave.”

Anning stood up and went back to her room. Grandma Jiang shouted at her, ”Where are you going?”

Anning turned around with a smile, ”I’m getting some stuff. Grandma, didn’t you say you wanted to stay? So, I’ll make some space for you, I’ll skedaddle, and that’s okay, right?”

In the midst of speaking, Anning picked up her phone and called An Ping and An Nan.

”Sister, don’t come back home after work. Our grandma and grandpa have come over and said they want to stay at our place. I’m going to find a five-star hotel to book a room later. Call Third as well, I’m going to book a presidential suite, let’s stay together for several days like we’re enjoying ourselves. Whenever grandma decides to leave, we’ll come back.”

After talking to Eldest on the phone, Anning called Third: ”An Ping, I’m booking a hotel. After school, I’ll send you the location, hurry over. Sister will take care of all your entertainment needs, from eating and drinking to having fun. What? Don’t worry about the money, if our parents don’t have it, we still do. Anyway, if we give the money to our uncle, we wouldn’t hear anything back. It’s better to spend it ourselves. Money is an asshole, we’ll earn more after it’s spent. We need to understand the importance of enjoying life while we can. Alright, that’s settled then. No big deal, we can just borrow money, our grandparents probably still have their nest egg. If they stay at our home, I can just use their ID to borrow a high-interest loan.”

Boy, these two calls almost killed the old couple with anger.

”You squanderer, you’re just so...”

The old man patted Mr. Jiang’s shoulder, ”If you still recognize me as your father, beat this bratty girl to death for me now, or else...”

Mr. Jiang was in a tough spot: ”Dad, she’s my own daughter, she’s all grown up; I really can’t beat her, truly I can’t.”

Mrs. Jiang also had a bitter look on her face: ”Dad, the money Anning wants to spend is ours, the money we earned ourselves. No matter how she squanders it, we’re happy with it. Even if she borrows at high-interest rates, at worst, we sell the house to repay the loan. Just like you said, whether we no longer own the house, it’s still left for our three daughters. Rather than having them fight over unfair shares later, better to sell it earlier, enjoy the money now.”

But is that really a practical solution?

If anyone sells their house, wouldn’t that make people criticize them behind their backs as squandering fools?

Grandpa Jiang was so angry his face turned an iron blue.

Anning continued to provoke him: ”Mom, the idea of selling the house isn’t bad. Why don’t I go to a property agent to list it tomorrow? We sell the house, and you take the money to travel abroad. We’ll just say it was for Hai Chao’s marriage. That’s a good idea, right?”

Grandma Jiang couldn’t listen any longer; she would definitely be furious if she stayed any longer.

She stood up in a huff, dragged Grandpa Jiang, and walked out, ”Let’s go, why are you still here? Are you staying to see how they squander everything? Those without sons just don’t get it, not a shred of foresight.”

Grandpa Jiang quickly followed Grandma Jiang out the door.

The two of them came in a fury, but they left looking somewhat dejected.

But they had no choice but to go. If they really stayed, who knew if Anning the dead girl would actually dare to steal their IDs to borrow a high-interest loan? This would be digging their own graves.

”Are you leaving? Not staying a few more days? Tonight, I was going to take you out for delicious food...”

Anning followed them out to send them off, hooking her red lips, her smile seductive: ”Grandpa, Grandma, be careful. I even said I wanted you to stay a few more days to honor you, but look, since our house is not spacious enough to accommodate you, it’s no problem, I can stay in a hotel and vacate a room for you...”

She was speaking very loudly, and the neighbors on the same floor could all hear her.

Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang walked even faster.

Having seen off the two elders, Anning went back into the room, closed the door, and asked Mrs. Jiang, ”Mom, what’s really going on?”
