The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 738: Chapter 722: I Am Not a Slut 33

”I need to ask him.”

Jiang Anan appeared particularly stubborn: ”I want to hear from his own mouth what actually happened.”

Mr. Jiang was truly furious: ”Regardless of the outcome of this matter, you can’t give him any more money. Also, have you kept a record of the money you previously gave? You need to ask him to return it.”

Jiang Anan then fell silent again.

Mr. Jiang knew what was happening.

This silly girl definitely hadn’t kept any records.

Indeed, knowing his own daughter, the Eldest is not as sharp as the Second and Third. She is particularly sincere, and if she were really attached to someone, she would definitely be devoted to thinking about that person. The money she gave out, surely she wouldn’t have kept any record, let alone left any evidence.

For a moment, Mr. Jiang felt he was about to die of anger.

It wasn’t the loss of money he was angry about, but his daughter’s naivety. What hurt him the most was the pain his daughter endured, anyone’s daughter being deceived by a scoundrel would be absolutely heartbreaking.

Anning’s phone rang, and she got up: ”I’m going to the room to take a call.”

After Anning returned to the room, Mrs. Jiang held Jiang Anan and kept crying: ”My dear, why are you so foolish, why are you so stubborn, what’s so good about that man that you just...”

”I, he really treats me well, he hasn’t mentioned breaking up, how could I...”

Jiang Anan wanted to argue something, but she was never clever, her words weren’t smooth, and she couldn’t articulate her thoughts well.

Third came out of the bathroom holding Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua was all wet, and Third wrapped him in a blanket, only his little head sticking out.

Xiao Hua’s head emerged, and his eyes amusingly looked at Jiang Anan.

Third’s face carried a hint of coldness: ”Big sister, I am your younger sister and should not criticize you, but I heard what was said just now. If it were me, I would definitely break up with him. No matter how well he treats you, this relationship won’t work out.”

Jiang Anan turned back to look at Third, her eyes pleading.

Third smiled coldly: ”Big sister, is it really worth it to make mom and dad so sad for a man? Not to mention whether he is truly sincere now, even if he is, how long will this sincerity last? Not long. But mom and dad will never change their love for you. When you really face trouble, how many men can be counted on? But your own parents will truly worry for you, even sacrifice their lives for you in danger. Can a man do that? You risk making mom and dad anxious and upset for such a person – isn’t that foolish?”

”I...”

Tears came out again in Jiang Anan’s eyes.

She understood that Third was right, but she really couldn’t let go of Zhou Chong. She still wanted to make one last effort.

Third looked down and stroked Xiao Hua: ”You and that Mr. Zhou aim for marriage, but have you thought about it? With his mother’s attitude, can it work out? Dating is a matter for two people, but marriage involves two families. Do you want our parents to lose face and kneel to beg the Zhou family? Let me tell you, that definitely won’t work. Since it’s doomed to fail, why keep pushing forward and hurt yourself?”

These words stabbed Jiang Anan’s heart one by one, making her feel embarrassed yet unable to rebut.

Third was right, not considering what Zhou Chong thought, just from his mother’s attitude alone, it was clear this couldn’t work. Knowing it was impossible, why still rush forward and end up covered with scars?

In that moment, Jiang Anan felt lost, experiencing the pain of not seeing a way forward.

Xiao Hua looked up at Third, her smile light yet filled with a cold mockery; her eyes, clear, might appear cold, yet sparkled like glass beads drenched in water, strikingly beautiful.

He foolishly kept staring at Third.

Until Third slapped his head: ”Come on, let me dry your hair so you won’t catch a cold.”

Jiang Anan stood in the living room, appearing lonely and vulnerable at this moment.

However, neither Mr. Jiang nor Mrs. Jiang showed any sympathy.

This matter had to be resolved quickly, otherwise, given Jiang Anan’s sticky nature, she might be deceived by someone from the Zhou Family again.

Just as Mrs. Jiang was getting anxious, Anning came out of the room, holding her mobile phone and said to Jiang Anan: ”Elder sister, I asked a friend studying at Medical College to help check on Zhou Chong, take a look.”

Anning handed the mobile phone to Jiang Anan: ”Zhou Chong has ongoing issues with you, but at school, he also has a little junior sister. He treats her very well, bringing her meals daily, accompanying her for runs, and escorting her in the wind and rain. Truly a considerate good senior brother, good boyfriend.”

Jiang Anan’s hands trembled as she took the phone.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang also leaned in to look.

The phone displayed several photos of Zhou Chong and a youthful, lively, and adorable girl.

Some photos showed them smiling at each other, some showed them eating together, others showed them running together; there were ones of Zhou Chong protecting the girl in rainy weather to the teaching building, and even a few sneakily taken photos.

One photo captured Zhou Chong kissing the girl in a small grove, and another showed him pinning the girl against the wall in the school.

These two photos completely shattered the last bit of hope in Jiang Anan’s heart.

She covered her face, crouching on the ground and started sobbing uncontrollably.

Faces of Mr. and Mrs. Jiang instantly darkened.

Anyone who saw these photos would know that Zhou Chong and the girl were definitely dating, far from any ordinary senior-junior relationship. Moreover, the couple was clearly in tune, the ambiguous atmosphere and pink bubbles visible to the naked eye.

”It’s outrageous.”

Mr. Jiang was so furious he almost smashed the phone.

Mrs. Jiang, looking at Jiang Anan, was heartbroken.

Inside, Third was using a hairdryer on Xiao Hua’s thick soft fur, while stroking her head: ”Xiao Hua, you must not deceive other kittens when you go out, okay? We can’t be a scumbag cat.”

Xiao Hua meowed.

Third smiled: ”If you dare become a scumbag cat, I’ll... wait, maybe it’s time for surgery soon, otherwise what if you get into heat? I heard that cats and dogs can be very destructive when they’re in heat.”

”Meow...” Xiao Hua yowled in distress, almost jumping up.

Anning clearly heard the noises from inside the room, she smirked briefly then her smile faded.

Jiang Anan cried a long time. After crying, she stood up: ”Dad, Mom, I will talk to him clearly. The money I gave earlier has no proof, and surely can’t be retrieved, but I... consider it a lesson bought with money. I’ll definitely be more careful in the future.”

Mrs. Jiang wiped her tears: ”Consider it money spent to avoid a disaster. Luckily, his mother came to us making a fuss; otherwise, we might have been kept in the dark. If it had reached the point of you marrying him, the matter wouldn’t have been resolved so easily.”
