The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 764: Chapter 748: I Am Not a Slut 59

Jiang Anan felt something was off about the atmosphere at home when she got back that night.

It seemed like her parents were both very concerned about her.

”What’s going on?”

Jiang Anan asked after finishing her meal.

Mr. Jiang chuckled awkwardly, ”Nothing much, just noticed that you’ve put on some weight these last few days.”

”Ah!” Jiang Anan screamed and stood up to weigh herself immediately.

Mrs. Jiang gave Mr. Jiang a stern look and went to Jiang Anan, ”Eldest, did that bastard surnamed Zhou come looking for you today?”

Jiang Anan knew right away that it must have been Zhuzi who told them.

”Yes, he wanted to rekindle our relationship, but I got rid of him.”

”Good for you.”

Mrs. Jiang said angrily, ”Shameless, after deceiving you for two years, and he still has the gall to come to you, he’s really not human.”

Mr. Jiang then asked Mrs. Jiang, ”Do you have Zhou Chong’s mother’s phone number?”

Mrs. Jiang shook her head.

Mrs. Jiang turned back to Jiang Anan.

Jiang Anan thought for a moment, ”I have his sister’s mobile number.”

Mr. Jiang had Jiang Anan find Zhou Chong’s sister’s mobile number and dialed it immediately.

The call was quickly answered.

”Hello, may I know who’s speaking?”

Mr. Jiang gestured to Jiang Anan to be quiet, signaling everyone not to talk.

”Are you Zhou Chong’s sister? I’m Anan’s dad. I’m calling you today to let you know that my daughter and your brother broke up long ago, and they will not be getting back together. As for the reasons, I assume you should know. But today, your brother had the audacity to show up at my daughter’s shop trying to make trouble and talk about getting back together. Zhou Chong’s sister, you’re a girl too, so you should understand what a scumbag is. I won’t say more; just tell your brother not to come looking for my daughter anymore. Also, let your mom know this: it’s not the Jiang family eyeing the Zhou Family; it’s your Zhou family’s son who has no shame and keeps pestering my daughter, and he can’t be driven away even by beating.”

After finishing, Mr. Jiang didn’t wait for Zhou Chong’s sister’s reaction and hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Mr. Jiang smiled towards Mrs. Jiang, ”Wife, I’ve vented for you.”

Mrs. Jiang smiled too, ”Fine, I know what you mean. If the Zhou family has any decency, he won’t be able to bother Eldest anymore.”

Jiang Anan’s eyes instantly lit up.

”Dad is so clever, using this method to fend off Zhou Chong. Why didn’t I think of that? Thanks, Dad.”

Mr. Jiang smiled with self-satisfaction, sat down on the sofa, and pointed at Jiang Anan, ”Quickly pour me a cup of tea, oh, and my shoulders are really sore.”

Jiang Anan immediately got the hint and rushed over to massage Mr. Jiang, ”Let me rub it for you. Is this okay? Is it too hard?”

Mrs. Jiang laughed and went to make tea. Just as she came out of the kitchen, her mobile phone rang.

Seeing the caller was Aunt Sun, Mrs. Jiang picked up the phone.

”Hello, Sister Sun, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. What’s the matter, you’re calling me?”

Aunt Sun was also laughing, ”Indeed somethings up. Let me tell you the great news, our Liu Fang is engaged, and she’s going to get married after the New Year. Oh my, how should I put it? This child has always been a relief for me, never caused any trouble. I’ll send you the wedding date and the hotel address in a bit, and you all must come, okay? Liu Fang has grown up before your eyes, and she’d certainly want you to come to her wedding. And bring Anan and Anning along too, we haven’t seen each other for so long, it would be lovely to get together.”

”Sure.”

Mrs. Jiang responded with a laugh.

Aunt Sun probably hadn’t had her fill of gossiping yet. She lowered her voice and said, ”Let me tell you, Wu Fan is such a good kid, very kind to Fangfang and really respectful towards us elders. For their engagement, he gave quite a generous betrothal gift. I won’t even mention the gift boxes and all that; the cash gift alone was 180,000. This is the first of its kind in our area, you know. Tell me, do we look like a family greedy for money? Fangfang is our only daughter; whatever The Wus give her is hers. We told them to give whatever they feel like; we don’t care about the amount. But they really value Fangfang; they gave 180,000 right from the get-go.”

Aunt Sun was truly brimming with pride.

She almost wished the whole world knew that her daughter was about to get married and that her son-in-law was such a catch.

Mrs. Jiang simply listened, occasionally offering a word or two of agreement.

Before Anning and An Nan had settled their respective romantic prospects, Mrs. Jiang might have felt a bit uneasy hearing Aunt Sun’s words, but now that Anning’s relationship with Xiao Yuan was more or less confirmed, and An Nan had found someone too, her mindset was much calmer. She no longer bore any grudge against Aunt Sun.

However, Mrs. Jiang still looked down on Aunt Sun a bit.

She thought to herself, Aunt Sun is over the moon just because of the 180,000. She’s so excited she barely remembers her own name. When it comes to Anning, her second uncle provided jewelry worth millions without a second thought, and it’s not something she boasts about.

Mrs. Jiang engaged in conversation with Aunt Sun with this subtle sense of pride in her mind.

After Aunt Sun finished showing off, she asked Mrs. Jiang, ”By the way, have your eldest and second child settled down yet? I mean, don’t be too picky, something decent is good enough.”

Mrs. Jiang immediately grinned and said, ”I almost forgot until you asked. My eldest and second are pretty much settled down too. The second’s partner has already come over for dinner, and although the eldest’s hasn’t visited yet, the two kids’ relationship is going quite smoothly. Before long, you might have to come to our home for a celebration.”

Aunt Sun paused for a moment: ”Congratulations.”

Then, she said in a slightly colder voice, ”I have some things to take care of, so I’ll hang up now.”

After Mrs. Jiang hung up the phone, An Nan asked her curiously, ”Mom, what are you talking about? Since when did I have someone?”

Mrs. Jiang gave her a sideways glance: ”I’m tricking Sister Sun. Can’t you even tell that? You’re really a blockhead.”

Jiang Anan: ...

Mrs. Jiang, however, was truly preoccupied with An Nan’s affairs and did not sleep well all night, tossing and turning.

She got up early, had a quick breakfast, and insisted on taking Anning to wait outside the bun shop, hoping to catch sight of someone.

Anning had no choice but to follow along with Mrs. Jiang.

They went there early in the morning, not daring to actually enter the bun shop, and instead sat down in a breakfast joint across the street. Anning, who hadn’t had enough to eat, ordered a breakfast and ate slowly and leisurely.

Mrs. Jiang couldn’t stop checking her watch, anxious and fidgety.

”Why hasn’t he shown up yet?”

Anning was in no hurry at all; her movements were as unhurried and graceful as ever while eating.

They waited until around nine in the morning when they saw a black SUV park not far from the bun shop. A tall man, whose face was unclear, entered the bun shop.

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly pulled Anning out, and the two of them sneaked to a corner to watch.

They saw Jiang Anan smiling at the sight of the man, no longer caring about selling buns, and wiping her hands, she went inside the shop.

They could barely make out Jiang Anan cheerfully chatting with the man, who also wore a smile.

Anning had sharp eyes; she could even see the tenderness in the man’s eyes when he spoke to An Nan.

”Mom, it must be the right guy.”

Mrs. Jiang, with her experience, had also noticed the signs.

”I know, do I not have eyes? Look at how your sister is glowing with happiness. Back when your father and I were courting, it was just like this.”

Once they observed the man take away some buns and Jiang Anan had to attend to other customers, leaving no attention for the man, Mrs. Jiang quickly dragged Anning towards the bun shop.
