The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

”Impossible.”

Yi Qihang shivered all over at the thought of the blade slicing downwards.

He trembled as he touched himself from head to toe.

Every part of his body was intact, everything was fine, he hadn’t lost a single piece.

If not for that experience being too frightening, with memories too vivid, he would have thought he was dreaming.

But if he wasn’t dreaming, and he really had gone through that, why was he still alright?

Or perhaps, Xiao Yuan was just trying to scare him and didn’t actually do anything to him?

With this thought, Yi Qihang’s courage grew.

He thought Xiao Yuan was all talk, only good at intimidation. If it came to real action, he didn’t have the guts. He didn’t understand why Anning, who had a perfect man like him, chose to marry such a jerk instead.

Thinking of Anning, Yi Qihang felt a pang in his heart.

She was meant to be his wife, so why in this lifetime did she become someone else’s? He couldn’t be reconciled to it.

Xiao Yuan returned to the hotel in the evening.

At that time, Anning was sitting in the room checking some materials while waiting for him.

Seeing Xiao Yuan enter, Anning smiled, ”You’re back.”

”Mm.”

Xiao Yuan nodded.

He didn’t say what he had done today, and Anning didn’t ask.

After all, Anning knew that with Xiao Yuan’s character, he would handle things properly without leaving any evidence.

A few days later, the elders finally recovered from their fright. Su Mingzhu and Su Mingyu began to get mischievous again, and when Xiao Yuan saw that his family’s mood had improved, he left the country with Boss Ma and others.

He was gone for almost a month, and when he returned, he said goodbye to Boss Ma and others and took his family back to Beijing.

During this more than a month, Yi Qihang’s days started to become increasingly difficult.

Because he discovered that, although he had all his physical parts, a certain area was no longer functioning.

No matter what he did, there was no response from that area, and his women were becoming increasingly resentful from the long period of lack of intimacy.

The earliest women who followed him could tolerate it, but the few he got later, who hadn’t been with him long, began to complain because of this, and two women even wanted to break up with him.

No matter how Yi Qihang coaxed, those two women wouldn’t change their minds, and even insulted Yi Qihang.

Previously obedient, seemingly gentle and nice women now cursed him like shrews, pointing at his nose, ”I’ve never seen someone as disgusting as you. Who do you think you are? A national treasure? Ha, with no achievements, yet dreaming of having it all, really delusional. I must have been blind to have chosen a scumbag like you. It’s disgusting to think about now, a man with no ability living off women’s money.”

The two women scolded Yi Qihang.

Yi Qihang could only bear it and dared not retaliate.

Because those two women’s families were influential, and one was a local in Hai City. If Yi Qihang offended her, he’d get nothing good out of it.

After the two women cursed him, they started packing to leave.

They had brought quite a number of good things while with Yi Qihang, and were taking everything they could pack up with them, leaving nothing behind for Yi Qihang.

The departure of these two women seemed to set a precedent, and afterwards, several more women left one after another.

And Yi Qihang found that after these women left him, his life became increasingly unlucky.

His money was dwindling, without women’s support, nothing went smoothly, whatever he tried failed.

Most importantly, his quality of life was constantly declining.

Eventually, even Xiao Xueqing, who seemed devoted to him, started complaining.

The main issue was that Yi Qihang could no longer provide Xiao Xueqing with a luxurious life, she couldn’t lavishly spend anymore, and combined with Yi Qihang losing his male prowess, what woman would still want to be with him?

While Anning and Xiao Yuan were packing to head northwest, the women around Yi Qihang either left or drifted away, leaving him alone in the end.

After leaving Yi Qihang, Xiao Xueqing wanted to return to the Gu Family, hoping they would take care of her, but by then Gu Huai Ren was already tired of her. When she reached the Gu Family, she was chased away without even getting in the door.

Having no other option, she went to the Xiao Family.

But Xiao Qun and He Fangfang weren’t the kindest of people. They hadn’t cared for their own daughter growing up in the Xiao Family, let alone Xiao Xueqing, a daughter they hadn’t raised. If she could bring advantage, they would butter her up, but now that she’s clearly down on her luck, there was no hope of them providing for her.

At the Xiao Family, Xiao Xueqing was made to do chores and endure plenty of gossip.

It was unbearable for Xiao Xueqing.

But she was originally a Gu Family lady, and afterward, she followed Yi Qihang barely doing anything because she never lacked money. She hadn’t suffered or worked before, and now without backing, she couldn’t support herself at all.

So Xiao Xueqing had to stay at the Xiao Family.

She stayed at the Xiao Family for a few months before somehow getting involved with a contractor and ran off with him.

Though Xiao Xueqing only stayed at the Xiao Family for a few months, she sowed seeds of hatred there.

During her stay, she would occasionally use her saved money to buy some tasty treats secretly for Xiao Mei.

Sometimes she even bought shoes for Xiao Mei. When Xiao Mei did chores, Xiao Xueqing would lend a hand.

As a result, Xiao Mei naturally became close to her.

Xiao Mei saw Xiao Xueqing as the closest person to her, believing everything Xiao Xueqing said.

Xiao Xueqing told Xiao Mei that she wasn’t really Xiao Li’s daughter, her mother was Xiao Xiu. Xiao Xiu now lived comfortably in Hai City but left her to suffer in the countryside.

She said Xiao Xiu had a son who was treated with care, everything he ate, used, and wore was meticulously chosen, while Xiao Mei didn’t even have a decent pair of shoes, which was truly pitiful.

Listening to such things from Xiao Xueqing, Xiao Mei gradually began to harbor hatred toward Xiao Xiu, and especially hated the son Xiao Xiu had later.

Later, Xiao Xueqing ran off with a wealthy man, leaving Xiao Mei behind. With no one to help her, Xiao Mei missed Xiao Xueqing even more and resented the Xiao Family more heavily.

In the following years, Xiao Xueqing never returned to the Xiao Family.

However, with malicious intent, she often sent clothes and shoes to Xiao Mei.

The clothes she bought were very pretty. Although they weren’t very expensive, they were stylish and perfectly suited for a young girl’s age.

Xiao Mei was originally happy that Xiao Xueqing remembered her. Seeing those clothes, she was particularly cheerful, expecting to dress up beautifully and make the girls in the village envious.

But to Xiao Mei’s surprise, the clothes sent by Xiao Xueqing were all taken by Li Huixx to sell for cash.

Li Huixx had a son, slightly younger than Xiao Mei. Since her son couldn’t wear the clothes Xiao Xueqing sent, she sold them for money to buy him clothing instead.

As for Xiao Mei...

Li Huixx remarked that a girl didn’t need to dress so well. A young girl should stay home and work well, rather than constantly think about flaunting herself. Thinking too much about fashion would make her restless and disobedient, which could ruin her reputation.

Even He Fangfang barely cared about Xiao Xueqing and couldn’t stand up to her daughter-in-law Li Huixx, so she allowed Li Huixx’s behavior.

Li Huixx sold Xiao Mei’s clothes, and God knows where she got some old clothes for Xiao Mei to wear.

The clothes were outdated and shabby, unfashionable for many years, and particularly ill-fitting. Xiao Mei’s clothes were either too big or too small, some even had patches on them. When Xiao Mei refused to wear them, Li Huixx would beat her and talk badly about her outside, leaving Xiao Mei, a child, no choice but to wear the ill-fitting clothes. She was dusty every day, mocked and teased by the children in the village.
