The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

After Yang Erchou hung up the phone, he couldn’t hide the smile on his face.

The Old Madam was quite puzzled: ”Did something good happen? Look at all those wrinkles from smiling.”

Yang Erchou quickly said: ”Great news, great news! Ningning just called and said she wants Junni to take Xiangshan to the Capital. There’s supposed to be some test, and if Xiangshan passes, he can join the track team.”

The Old Madam still didn’t quite understand what the track team was.

Yang Erchou explained: ”It’s the national team; once you join, the country takes care of your food, accommodation, and there’s specialized personnel to teach you academics. Plus, it costs nothing, and you can get a salary every month. If you actually achieve something, the prize money isn’t small either.”

”Really?”

Once the Old Madam understood what the track team was, she was equally delighted: ”If he really gets in, Xiangshan won’t have to worry anymore.”

”Absolutely, if Xiangshan gets in, Junni’s family can save a good amount of money. Without having to pay Xiangshan’s tuition, there’ll be money to support Xiangxiang in high school and college. Xiangxiang has high ambitions and is determined to go to college.”

Yang Erchou happily rubbed his hands: ”I must quickly pay a visit to Junni’s house. If necessary, I’ll go with Junni to take Xiangshan to the Capital.”

Yang Junni and her husband are honest farmers, rarely going even to the county. Having them send Xiangshan to the Capital would really be a burden, so Yang Erchou, having been to the Capital, felt it safer for him to accompany them.

”Then be quick about it.”

The Old Madam urged Yang Erchou: ”If this works out, I’ll make sure Junni and her husband remember your kindness for a lifetime, and Xiangshan remembers the grace of his uncle and sister forever.”

”What’s there to remember? He’s my nephew; his happiness is my happiness.”

Yang Erchou waved his hand, chuckling as he went to push his bicycle.

Yi Qihang, after the New Year, finally felt much better physically.

Once he could move around, he couldn’t resist calling his women over for some entertainment.

Not long after, Yi Qihang called Chen Lin to ask about how Xiao Yuan’s lousy company was doing, if it had been pressured enough to shut down.

When Chen Lin came, he looked quite troubled: ”Big brother, I really didn’t expect that surname Xiao to be so wealthy. These past few months we’ve taken all his customers, yet instead of closing down, he hired several more salesmen. His employees seem quite cheerful and energetic, often coming to our company to bicker and quarrel. I really can’t understand what they’re after.”

Yi Qihang’s face darkened upon hearing this: ”Find some thugs to go wreck his company, and let’s see him...”

Chen Lin immediately agreed: ”Sure, I’ll hire some people to cause trouble. I don’t believe we can’t ruin him.”

After sending Chen Lin away, Yi Qihang furiously slammed his fist on the table.

”Damn it.”

Yi Qihang felt he couldn’t hold back any longer.

He couldn’t bear to watch his wife, his beloved woman, always with another man.

Yi Qihang felt as if he had rolled around a vast green pasture and was completely covered in green, head to toe.

He needed to break up Xiao Yuan and Anning as soon as possible, and quickly establish a relationship with Anning. For the rest of his life, he wanted to hold Anning’s hand tightly.

Recalling the joyful times with Anning in the past life, Yi Qihang was eager to marry Anning quickly, then never be apart.

He was contemplating with a stern face when suddenly a thought crossed his mind.

Yi Qihang called in a few people and instructed them quietly.

Those people took his orders and left.

With a sinister smile, Yi Qihang muttered: ”Xiao Yuan, hmph, a shepherd boy daring to challenge me. I wonder what the Yang Family will think when they find out you and Anning are in a relationship.”

Yi Qihang had already had folks uncover enough that Anning and Xiao Yuan were secretly seeing each other.

He also knew that if Yang Erchou found out about Anning and Xiao Yuan, he would be definitely against it.

After all, given Xiao Yuan’s family situation, who’d want their daughter to marry him?

Anning is so accomplished; what kind of man couldn’t she marry? Yang Erchou would have to be crazy or stupid to allow her to be with Xiao Yuan.

Yi Qihang was also aware of how much Anning valued her family.

He wanted to see if Anning would remain steadfast with Xiao Yuan when faced with her family’s opposition.

Thinking about this, Yi Qihang had a smile on his face, imagining how devastated and dejected Xiao Yuan would be once Anning dumped him.

”Serves him right.”

He said with a chuckle.

Anning was busy with Xiangshan’s matter at the time.

Yang Erchou brought Yang Junni and Zhang Xiangshan quickly to the Capital.

Once the three of them arrived in the Capital, they booked a hotel and then went to Imperial University to find Anning.

Anning was about to go to the library but was told someone was looking for her.

Anning thought it might be Xiao Qin or Xiao Yuan, and quickly carried her stationery downstairs.

Upon seeing it’s Yang Erchou and the others downstairs, Anning was quite pleased: ”Dad, Aunt, Xiangshan, you’re here.”

She then asked Yang Erchou: ”Have you eaten yet?”

Yang Erchou shook his head: ”Not yet, we were in a hurry and didn’t have time.”

Anning then led the three to the school cafeteria for a meal.

After eating, Anning contacted Coach Tian.

Once the test time was finalized with Coach Tian, Anning took Yang Erchou and the other two back to the hotel.

At the hotel, Anning naturally had a good chat with Yang Erchou.

She asked him about happenings back home, to which Yang Erchou answered well, and then Yang Junni kept holding onto Anning and continued to talk.

Yang Junni was very nervous, and unfamiliar with the affairs in the Capital, kept asking Anning questions, which Anning answered with a smile and serious attention.

In contrast, Zhang Xiangshan wasn’t nervous at all.

His first time in the Capital, his first time seeing such a big city, was dazzled by its splendor, continually telling Anning: ”Sis, if only I could stay in the Capital, it’s just so great here. I must stay...”

Anning chuckled and patted his head: ”Then you’ve got to do well. If you really get into the track team, you must train hard. Once you win a championship and gain fame, you’ll have the credentials to stay in the Capital.”

Zhang Xiangshan nodded firmly: ”I will train hard, Sis, I love running, wish I could run every day.”

”Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the field at our school for a run. Just stretch out, don’t run too much, the day after we’re heading to the track team.”

Anning reminded Zhang Xiangshan with a smile.

After discussing all matters, Anning headed home.

She was occupied with Zhang Xiangshan’s affairs, without knowing Yi Qihang had already sent people to stir up trouble in Yangjiazhuang.

Yet, it wasn’t entirely unknown to Anning; she could guess it. She intended to let the issue of her dating Xiao Yuan leak through Yi Qihang’s side.

After all, Anning and Xiao Yuan couldn’t keep having a secret romance forever.

Anning couldn’t bear to see Xiao Yuan suffer in secret, besides, with her personality, she wasn’t afraid of the Yang Family finding out about her and Xiao Yuan. She had ways to change the Yang Family’s perspective.

Yet, unforeseen to Anning, this situation caused Yang Anzhen to nearly encounter an incident.
