The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 1120: Chapter 1094: After Being Possessed 4

Si Linna went home with a heavy heart.

When she got home, Mrs. Yan was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and Shi Ye was talking with her.

Seeing Si Linna enter, Mrs. Yan asked, ”How’s Ningning? Is she feeling better?”

”Much better.”

Si Linna replied, then softly said to Mrs. Yan, ”Mom, come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you.”

”What is it?”

Mrs. Yan got up.

Si Linna pulled her into a small meeting room on the second floor and closed the door before taking out her phone and saying, ”Mom, this is very serious, I’m not joking with you, you have to take it seriously.”

Mrs. Yan nodded, ”Okay, I got it.”

Si Linna showed her a video on the phone. Mrs. Yan’s expression turned dark as she watched, and once the video was finished, Si Linna said, ”A few days ago, I noticed something was off about Ningning. She doesn’t speak or act like she used to, she’s stopped seeing her old friends. Also, Ningning used to dislike Li Hai, but now... Mom, I think what Ningning said is true. I tested her today when she returned home; I gave her some orange juice, and she drank it without saying anything.”

Si Linna looked nervously at Mrs. Yan, ”Mom, we have to find a way to save Ningning.”

Mrs. Yan lowered her head in thought, and when she looked up again, she scolded Si Linna, ”What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be such a thing? Have you been reading too many novels or what, with all this body-snatching talk? Aren’t you afraid people will laugh their heads off? Ningning is young and doesn’t understand, but you’re older now; you should be more mature.”

Si Linna got anxious, ”Mom, I’m not fooling around. I believe the Ningning in the video is the real her; the one before wasn’t. Mom, you have to believe me; Ningning is family; we can’t ignore her.”

Si Linna was so desperate she nearly knelt before Mrs. Yan, looking at her pleadingly, ”Mom, please, I’m begging you...”

Mrs. Yan shook off Si Linna, ”You’re getting more and more ridiculous. Let’s just pretend this never happened. Don’t mention such things again. Ningning and Li Hai are getting along better and better; creating a scene like this, what if the Li Family forms an opinion against Ningning?”

After speaking, Mrs. Yan didn’t look at Si Linna and quickly left the room.

Si Linna sank onto the sofa, holding her head as she began to quietly cry.

After sending Si Linna off, Anning began to count her assets.

Truth be told, Yan Anning is a very capable girl.

She excelled in her studies from a young age, picked up skills quickly, developed many hobbies, and started learning about finance in middle school.

The Yan Family was wealthy, but Yan Anning lived modestly.

She never bought luxury items or spent recklessly. The allowance and pocket money given by Father Yan and Mrs. Yan were all saved.

She had been saving money since she was young and by middle school had accumulated a sizable sum. She started experimenting with investments, initially losing a bit but later breaking even and making profits. By high school, she was making money.

She used her earnings to buy two apartments, handling the entire process herself without telling anyone—Father Yan, Mrs. Yan, or Yan Anhua. Si Linna had a vague idea, but since the money was Anning’s own, Si Linna supported her buying the apartments.

Upon entering college, Yan Anning made substantial profits by investing in stocks. She invested in several startups, including a gaming company, a pharmaceutical company, and an energy company. Her investments were small, owning only a tiny portion of each, but the game developed by the gaming company hit the market with great feedback, now generating substantial profits, multiplying Yan Anning’s assets several times over.

This financial independence is why Yan Anning could fearlessly date Xiao Yuan.

She had her home, car, money, and abilities, needing no wealthy heir to support her. She could live well on her own, so why shouldn’t she be with someone she genuinely liked?

Now, Anning was methodically reviewing these assets.

She examined the equity certificates, checked her bank account balances, and reviewed the stocks and futures Yan Anning had bought.

When finished, Anning sold some stocks and purchased others.

She sold all the futures, transferring the funds to her own account.

Excluding funds invested in companies and spent on real estate, Anning had a few million in her bank account, money she didn’t intend to touch.

She had a premonition she would need this money soon.

After going over her finances, Anning put everything away, took a shower, and went to bed.

The next morning, she went out for breakfast and attended her morning classes. Then, she released the alien soul.

Of course, Anning didn’t fall asleep; she monitored the alien soul’s every move from her sea of consciousness.

The alien soul was dazed for a moment upon being released, then went to a restaurant outside the campus to have lunch.

During lunch, Li Hai called. The alien soul answered, agreeing to go out with Li Hai in the afternoon.

After lunch, the alien soul returned to the dormitory to freshen up, then went outside to wait for Li Hai to pick her up.

She waited at the school gate for about five or six minutes before Li Hai arrived in his car.

The alien soul opened the car door and got in. She turned to see Li Hai wearing sunglasses and asked, ”Why are you wearing sunglasses while driving? The sun isn’t that strong today; they’re a nuisance, take them off.”

Li Hai paused.

The alien soul reached to remove Li Hai’s sunglasses.

Li Hai didn’t dodge in time, and the alien soul took them off.

She then saw the dark circles under Li Hai’s eyes and the red marks he tried hard to conceal.

The alien soul frowned, ”What happened to you? Got into a fight last night?”

”That’s what you remember?”

Li Hai was a bit taken aback, questioning the alien soul, ”You were with me last night, don’t you remember?”

The alien soul thought for a long while, ”No, I don’t remember being with you. I only recall feeling unwell last night, then my sister-in-law came to see me. Yeah, I was definitely with her; I didn’t even leave the house...”

Li Hai was even more puzzled. ”How could that be? We clearly had dinner together last night, and then you hit...”

”What are you talking about?”

The alien soul was getting a bit angry, ”What dinner? Tell me the truth, who did you have dinner with last night, was it with some little demon?”

Li Hai was bewildered; seeing the alien soul’s certainty, he almost believed he dreamt the absurd scene where Anning attacked him.
