The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 734: Chapter 718: I Am Not a Slut 29 (January Monthly Ticket Bonus)

Gu Kai looked at Secretary Zhao.

Secretary Zhao stood respectfully: ”President Gu, I have looked into the matter you asked about earlier. Miss Jiang’s supervisor and Xiao Tiantian have had some dealings. She thought you were interested in Miss Tiantian, so under Tiantian’s instruction, she purposefully made things difficult for Miss Jiang.”

Gu Kai’s eyes darkened, feeling extreme disgust towards Xiao Tiantian.

A woman who doesn’t work hard, spends her days in the company acting pitiful, weak, and innocent, yet has such a malicious heart, is truly annoying to behold.

He previously thought Xiao Tiantian was gentle and kind, but now the more he sees, the more he finds her fake.

Where does she have the genuine temperament of An Ping?

That girl seems carefree, but she is truly a kind-hearted and gentle girl.

Earlier, in Xiao Tiantian’s company, she took care of him, and he felt that she was quite good to him.

But some things are hard to compare; the care he received in the Jiang family was much more detailed than what he received from Xiao Tiantian.

Every day, Jiang Anan would remember to bring him different flavors of cat food, Mrs. Jiang would take him out to play, would take him to sunbathe, Jiang Anping, when returning home, would bathe him at night, groom his fur, and even remember what he liked to eat, and when handling his cat litter, never once showed displeasure.

Even Jiang Anning, who seemed the coldest and least fond of him, would remember to buy him a cat tree and tidy up his cat nest.

The refinement of the Jiang family women and the coarse care from Xiao Tiantian, when compared, really are worlds apart.

Now, Gu Kai grew more and more displeased with Xiao Tiantian.

But he couldn’t fathom why.

Why would Xiao Tiantian say those slandering words about others in front of him at night, and cry in front of him when he couldn’t do anything about it at that time?

Or maybe...

Gu Kai slightly squinted his eyes, forming a speculation.

Then he shook his head. How could this be possible? If he hadn’t experienced it personally, he would never have thought such things existed in the world, let alone a young girl like Xiao Tiantian figure it out.

Gu Kai looked at Secretary Zhao: ”When you find a mistake made by Xiao Tiantian, just fire her. We from the Gu family don’t keep the idle.”

”Okay.” Secretary Zhao straightforwardly agreed.

Secretary Zhao didn’t understand what happened with the President. He was so kind to Xiao Tiantian before; why had he suddenly grown tired of her?

Everyone knew that President Gu had personally named Xiao Tiantian to join the company and even placed her in the secretarial office, where she was so well cared for that many in the company speculated President Gu must like Xiao Tiantian, allowing her to not engage in much work.

But why had the winds shifted so suddenly?

Secretary Zhao left the office, smiled bitterly, and shook his head. It seems everyone guessed wrong; President Gu’s mind truly is fickle and elusive.

Soon, the day of Jiang Haichao’s wedding arrived.

Mr. Jiang woke everyone up early in the morning and then began to get washed and dressed.

Attending a wedding banquet, one must look sharp and spirited, certainly not in ragged clothes.

The three sisters from Anning’s house also dressed up nicely.

Actually, the three Anning sisters are all quite beautiful.

Eldest Sister An Nan is tall but not fat, and she has a good figure, embodying a kind of heroic beauty.

Anning goes without saying, and An Ping is also youthful, pretty, and charming.

The three sisters changed into new clothes and did their makeup, standing in a row in the living room, they indeed looked quite striking.

Mr. Jiang was delighted at the sight: ”Look at my three daughters, aren’t they beautiful?”

Mrs. Jiang also felt especially joyful: ”The girls are all spirited and lively, it just makes one happy to see them.”

Mr. Jiang stood up: ”Let’s go.”

An Ping took Xiao Hua with her when leaving: ”Xiao Hua, sister will take you out to play.”

Mr. Jiang rented a car, which had already arrived downstairs earlier, and now they went downstairs to get into it.

Mr. Jiang drove, taking the whole family back to their hometown. Jiang Family’s Mansion is not far from City N, just about 200 kilometers. By highway, it’s only a bit more than an hour’s journey.

When the family arrived at Jiang Family’s Mansion, it was just past nine o’clock.

Anning’s house also had a property in their hometown, but it had not been lived in for many years and was almost collapsing. They did not go to their own house but directly drove to Uncle Jiang’s place.

Since Mr. Jiang had lent Uncle Jiang a small amount of money before, when Anning’s family arrived, Uncle Jiang and his wife were quite indifferent to them, simply saying ”You’ve arrived,” and didn’t really entertain them.

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang didn’t take it personally and led the three Anning sisters into the house.

Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang were sitting in the house. Seeing the family arrive, Grandma Jiang showed no pleasure: ”Why come now? You didn’t even think to come early and lend a hand. This is your own nephew getting married, and this is all you do.”

Mr. Jiang sat down to explain: ”These past few days the restaurant was really busy, it was hard for me to take leave, and it took a long time to finally get the day off today.”

”Busy, busy, always with excuses. If you’re busy, at least earn some money for your nephew.”

Grandma Jiang was even more displeased.

Anning sat next to Mrs. Jiang, grabbing a handful of sunflower seeds to crack open, clearly not taking Grandma Jiang’s words to heart.

Jiang Anan bowed his head peeling oranges, Jiang Anping played with the cat. It seemed the whole family was used to Grandma Jiang’s occasional scoldings.

Mrs. Jiang didn’t respond to Grandma Jiang but talked to Aunt Jiang beside her.

Seeing that Grandma Jiang’s words were quite inappropriate, Aunt Jiang spoke up: ”Mom, what are you saying? You’ve known for a long time that the second brother is busy, and he hasn’t just been busy for a day or two. Besides, my brother earns money to support his family, there’s no rule that says an uncle has to support a nephew.”

Grandma Jiang glared at Aunt Jiang: ”A married woman should stay out of her parent’s affairs.”

She then looked toward Mr. Jiang: ”Why is there no such rule? The money your second brother earns is part of the Jiang family’s, and can’t be squandered away. Your brother is foolish, earning money not to spend on a male heir but instead supporting three financial burdens, raising each one lazy and gluttonous. Oh, look at these clothes, how much money must have gone into them? With that money, why not buy your father and mother some new clothes?”

Aunt Jiang’s expression grew worse.

She whispered to Mrs. Jiang: ”Sister-in-law, don’t mind it, our mom is just like this, she actually...”

Aunt Jiang couldn’t even find an excuse for Grandma Jiang.

Instead, Anning spoke calmly and with a smile: ”Grandma, what you’re saying isn’t right, my dad really doesn’t have any money. He and my mom are being supported by us three sisters now. Everything that the men in your family eat and drink is earned by us three financial burdens. You’ve always looked down on us, and we don’t catch your favor either, much less dare to buy you anything. I’m afraid, what if what we financial burdens buy to eat, drink, or wear isn’t up to your standards? If you get upset right after putting them on, what should we do then?”
