The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 817: Chapter 798: I’m Not a Slut 109

Gu Kai arranged to meet Xiao Yuan for a meal.

The two went to a hotel under the Gu family, where Gu Kai had reserved a private room. After they entered and the food and drinks were served, Gu Kai poured Xiao Yuan some wine.

Xiao Yuan waved it off: ”I have to drive later, so I won’t drink.”

Gu Kai didn’t pour any more wine and he didn’t drink either.

”The reason I asked you here is to ask for your help.”

Xiao Yuan made a gesture of attentively listening.

Gu Kai smiled bitterly: ”Since I turned eighteen, I don’t know why, but I started manifesting doppelgangers. The first doppelganger was a snake, which was unharmed and disappeared automatically after five months. Since then, every few months or a year, a new doppelganger appears, and I have no control over what it becomes. I once thought about keeping the doppelgangers nearby for care, but it’s impossible. If they stay too long, it causes all sorts of trouble, but if they’re too far away, it... When I was twenty-three, one doppelganger was harmed, and I fell seriously ill. Since then, I’ve been more cautious, and if it weren’t for you and Second Sister’s help this time, I would have been seriously ill again. I heard from Pingping that when I was unconscious, you used the Soul Stabilizing Needle on me. I want to ask you, is there a way to help me return to normal.”

After Gu Kai finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yuan anxiously.

He had placed all his hopes on Xiao Yuan at this point.

If previously Gu Kai wasn’t so worried about the doppelganger, he was now very concerned.

He no longer wanted to manifest doppelgangers; he never wanted to be a normal person as much as he did now.

He didn’t want to scare Jiang Anping anymore.

Xiao Yuan thought for a moment: ”Your situation is rare. I’ll think about it when I get back and prepare some things.”

Gu Kai nodded: ”I’m counting on you.”

After going back, Xiao Yuan discussed the matter with Anning.

Anning told Xiao Yuan: ”Tell him to get married soon; once he’s married, it’ll be fine.”

Uh?

Xiao Yuan was a bit puzzled.

Anning laughed: ”This world should be a book world. Gu Kai’s doppelganger is created by the author and recognized by this world’s will. Until the plot ends, nothing can be done, but once the plot is completed, and we stabilize his Divine Soul, the doppelgangers will resolve themselves.”

Xiao Yuan suddenly understood: ”I see. Why didn’t I think of that?”

Anning snuggled in his arms and chuckled: ”You probably haven’t read many romance novels.”

Xiao Yuan also laughed: ”Indeed.”

Xiao Yuan pondered for a while and suddenly grabbed Anning, sitting her up: ”Is Gu Kai the male lead of this world, and you’re the female lead?”

He scrutinized Anning with a sharp glint in his eyes.

Anning lightly pecked his lips: ”Jealous again? It’s not me. The original was the female lead, but the plot was disrupted by book transmigrators, and you and I are outsiders, so the world’s rules automatically corrected. Now the female lead has become Third.”

Later, Xiao Yuan told Gu Kai to get married soon and that everything would return to normal after marriage.

Although Gu Kai didn’t understand why, he trusted Xiao Yuan and soon proposed to Jiang Anping.

They were planning to marry, but since the Eldest hadn’t married yet, they had to wait for Eldest’s wedding before theirs. They had no choice.

From Anning’s marriage to An Nan’s marriage, the battery factory co-operated by the Gu family and Anning produced microbial batteries. They also collaborated with the state, initiating an energy reform.

Besides, Xiao Yuan, who manufactured plant nutrient liquid, also cooperated with the state to establish a few pharmaceutical factories, one specializing in slimming pills and another in anti-cancer drugs.

The two were extremely busy during this time.

By October, An Nan married Wei Jiaming, and Third and Gu Kai planned to marry before year’s end.

After October, many factory profits hit the accounts, allowing Anning and Xiao Yuan to sit back and collect money daily.

Watching the bank account steadily rise, Anning felt she could help the original fulfill her wishes.

The original wanted to live a spectacular life, to let everyone see that regardless of her appearance, her ability could provide her a prosperous life, making her parents proud.

Thus, while developing a holographic game, Anning started various shows.

She and Xiao Yuan first paved roads for Xiao Yuan’s hometown area, then built a primary school and an elderly activity center in Lianhua Village.

At this time, Wei Jiaming’s sister, Wei Jiahui, was also cured by Xiao Yuan. When she returned to normal and remembered the past events, she cried for a long time in Wei Jiaming’s arms.

Wei Jiahui also learned about Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei’s divorce.

She said nothing, just visited Mrs. Wei once, and after that, began living alone.

Anning and Xiao Yuan set up a charitable foundation before years’ end. Seeing Wei Jiahui idle at home, they invited her to work there. Besides Wei Jiahui, Mrs. Jiang also joined the foundation to do charity.

The two traveled to many remote places, building numerous hope schools.

While building hope schools, they also worked on women’s rights issues.

Through her charitable work, Anning’s reputation spread far and wide.

Apart from her charity fame, she also became known for her beauty.

One day, while Anning and Xiao Yuan were planning to donate teaching buildings and libraries to East University and Medical College, Mr. Jiang called Anning.

”Ningning, where are you? If you have time, come by the restaurant.”

Anning didn’t ask for details and drove there directly.

Once there, she discovered why Mr. Jiang was looking for her.

Some government officials from Anning’s hometown had found Mr. Jiang through connections. They had heard about Anning’s battery factory and Xiao Yuan’s pharmaceutical factory looking to establish branches and wanted to see if they could form connections to have the sites located there.

If the site couldn’t be located there, these officials wanted to know if Anning could help bring a project to the county.

Anning thought over the hometown environment and finally said: ”Xiao Yuan has developed a hair loss prevention medicine, currently in the clinical trial stage, but it should be ready for production soon. If the county can offer some incentives, I might persuade them to locate the factory there. After all, it’s my hometown, and I’d love to contribute to it.”

The county representatives, prepared with various incentives, immediately presented files for Anning’s review. Anning found them satisfactory and took them: ”I’ll show them to Xiao Yuan, and if possible, I’ll notify you soon.”

After seeing off the hometown officials, Mr. Jiang told Anning: ”Discuss it with Xiao Yuan. If feasible, let’s set it in the hometown. After all, it’s our home. When your mom and I are gone, we’ll be buried in the ancestral graves. We can’t let hometown folks say that Second Jiang ignored his roots after leaving, that we’re snobbish and inconsiderate.”

Anning understood this logic.

Though she wasn’t very close with Grandma Jiang and others, she maintained good relations with the villagers.

”I know; I’ll discuss it with Xiao Yuan thoroughly.”

Anning took the documents back, discussing with Xiao Yuan how to set up projects in the hometown, while also contacting East University’s president to donate teaching buildings and a library.

Anning and Xiao Yuan were extremely busy, so much so that they hadn’t paid any attention to Xiao Tiantian.

However, Gu Kai wouldn’t let Xiao Tiantian off.

When Xiao Hua was rescued by Anning, Xiao Tiantian panicked.

She hastily packed her things to flee, but at the airport, her luggage was found containing contraband, leading to her investigation and subsequent discovery of numerous offenses, she was sentenced.

When Xiao Tiantian entered prison, she couldn’t understand why it turned out this way.

She hadn’t done those things, and there weren’t any illegal items in her luggage, so how did these contraband items get found?

Confused, she entered prison, and within a few days, nearly met her demise.
