The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

During a break in filming, Gao Jiaxuan approached Su Mingzhu and said, ”I really didn’t expect you to know Coach Zhang. What is your relationship?”

Su Mingzhu glanced at Gao Jiaxuan indifferently, ”He’s my uncle.”

Actually, there was nothing much to hide, and Su Mingzhu didn’t intend to keep it a secret.

Gao Jiaxuan’s face turned a bit sour upon hearing this, then he chatted and laughed with Su Mingzhu, steering the conversation away.

But some staff nearby heard these words, and soon, the entire crew knew that Su Mingzhu’s backing was likely Zhang Xiangshan.

Thinking carefully, if Zhang Xiangshan was Su Mingzhu’s backing, then it made sense.

After all, everyone had heard earlier that Zhang Xiangshan also had influential ties, and among his fans, there were big wigs from various industries. As long as he paved the way for Su Mingzhu, her momentum was bound to grow increasingly strong.

Because of this, the crew became more enthusiastic towards Su Mingzhu.

Su Mingzhu pretended not to be aware of these things, going about her business as usual.

That night, Gao Jiaxuan returned to his room and made a phone call.

His face showed thin anger, ”What’s going on? Didn’t you tell me Su Mingzhu had no backing, are you trying to harm me?”

A coquettish voice came from the phone, ”What, scared? Didn’t you say you were willing to do anything for me?”

”Xiao Mei, what exactly is your grudge with Su Mingzhu?”

Gao Jiaxuan took a deep breath and pressed for answers.

His face carried a cold expression, inwardly cursing Xiao Mei for deceiving him.

”I have a major grudge with her, why, you’re not willing to stand up for me then don’t blame me for finding someone else willing to help.”

Xiao Mei giggled twice, ”As expected, men are unreliable.”

Gao Jiaxuan suppressed his anger and coaxed Xiao Mei, ”I’m not blaming you, I just didn’t expect Su Mingzhu’s background to be so strong. Ah Mei, you also need to consider my situation, if I completely offend her, what should my future look like? I heard Zhang Xiangshan comes from a good background, and Su Mingzhu is his niece, her background surely isn’t bad either. Ah Mei, I’m just from an ordinary family, I can’t compete with them. Even if I go all out for you, I still have to consider my family.”

”You simply don’t love me enough.”

Xiao Mei coldly chuckled twice, ”Fine, since you’re unwilling, I won’t force you, just don’t come looking for me in the future.”

She hung up, and Gao Jiaxuan angrily tossed his phone directly to the ground.

He paced around the room a few times, then took out his phone to send Su Mingzhu a message, asking to meet her in the hotel lobby.

Upon receiving Gao Jiaxuan’s message, Su Mingzhu changed her clothes and went downstairs.

When she arrived at the lobby, Gao Jiaxuan was already waiting there.

The two found a spot in the corner to sit down, and after a while, Gao Jiaxuan apologized to Su Mingzhu, ”I’m sorry, what I did was wrong, I am...”

Su Mingzhu had a faint smile on her face, yet her heart remained undisturbed, ”So you’re saying Xiao Mei was behind all the trouble?”

Gao Jiaxuan nodded, ”Yes, although I like her, I need to think about myself and my family. I can’t let her use me as a pawn anymore, this indeed is my fault, and I’m not avoiding responsibility, you can punish me however you wish.”

Gao Jiaxuan was rarely forthright, and Su Mingzhu smiled, ”I’m glad you told me the truth, but you did indeed make a mistake. Here’s what you should do, make this matter public, and I’ll forgive you.”

The expression on Gao Jiaxuan’s face was quite complex.

After a while, he finally made up his mind, ”Alright.”

One must know, for celebrities like him, reputation is critically important. If their reputation is tarnished, their career path becomes obsolete. By asking Gao Jiaxuan to make this matter public, it essentially cut off his retreat and smashed his rice bowl.

Yet Gao Jiaxuan agreed, and Su Mingzhu found herself less annoyed with him.

Gao Jiaxuan didn’t stall, and right before Su Mingzhu, he posted a Weibo, recounting the entire incident. He showed it to Su Mingzhu before posting, and only after she nodded did he publish it.

After Gao Jiaxuan went upstairs, Su Mingzhu took out her phone to call her agent, ”Sister Li, no need to investigate further. Gao Jiaxuan confessed everything, check his Weibo and you’ll see it. Oh, and pause any actions against Gao Jiaxuan for now.”

A high-end residential area in the Capital

Xiao Xiu took out her phone to look at some news, and her face immediately changed drastically.

She picked up her purse and was about to leave when Xiao Mei walked in through the door just in time.

When Xiao Xiu saw Xiao Mei, she hurled her purse at Xiao Mei, ”You troublemaker, who told you to do such despicable things?”

Xiao Mei quickly dodged it, sitting down with a cold expression, ”What’s wrong with me? If it wasn’t for Su Mingzhu, I couldn’t have been expelled and transferred to that kind of school. If I had continued studying at Peiying, my life would have been different. It’s all her fault, why shouldn’t I fight back? What about the Su family, Su Yuan can’t kill me, can he?”

Xiao Xiu was trembling with anger, ”You think you’re justified, huh? I’ve gone through hardships to raise you, not so you can hang around with a bunch of delinquents. If you were willing to study, you could do well in any school. But you insist on listening to that vile Xiao Xueqing, Xiao Xueqing ruined my life, and she’s still not satisfied, she wants to ruin you too...”

Xiao Mei was not pleased with Xiao Xiu badmouthing Xiao Xueqing.

She furiously shouted at Xiao Xiu, ”Don’t talk about my second aunt. Back when you heartlessly left me at the countryside, do you know what kind of life I led? You didn’t care about me, neither did grandma and uncle, only my second aunt cared for me, only she truly cared, what gives you the right to scold her now...”

Xiao Xiu collapsed weakly onto the sofa.

She truly felt exhausted.

Over the years, Xiao Xiu had followed several business tycoons. But as she aged and her beauty faded, she became less favored, and gradually realized how wrong she had been over these years. Additionally, she met Xiao Qin, saw how prosperous Xiao Qin’s life had become, learned about Xiao Qin’s daring endeavors with Xiao Yuan, and how her efforts had built a successful business. Her life was enviably good, causing regrets to build.

If only she hadn’t met Xiao Xueqing many years ago, if only Xiao Xueqing hadn’t incited her, she wouldn’t have resorted to being a mistress.

Xiao Xiu regretted her mistakes, realizing where she went wrong, she didn’t want Xiao Mei to repeat her errors.

She wanted Xiao Mei to focus on her studies, saved money to ensure Xiao Mei’s future by attending a good university and having a promising career.

But this was all wrecked by Xiao Xueqing.

Xiao Mei, for some reason, listened to everything Xiao Xueqing said, following her lead.

And Xiao Mei was now almost following in Xiao Xiu’s footsteps.

Thinking about these, Xiao Xiu’s heart bled.

She knew her words were useless to Xiao Mei, so she powerlessly stood up, took her bag, and left.

Xiao Yuan didn’t expect to see Xiao Xiu again after so many years.

When the siblings met again, they both felt an out-of-time sensation.

Upon seeing Xiao Yuan, Xiao Xiu stumbled forward, kneeling on the ground, ”Second brother, all the mistakes in the past were mine, I was wrong, I thought wrong, I was heartless...”

Xiao Xiu cried as she spoke, ”Perhaps it’s karma, my daughter is now walking my old path. She’s too vicious and extreme. I know, I can’t teach her anymore. I only ask one thing from you, second brother, if she ever offends you, can you spare her life? No matter how you punish her, just leave her alive, please.”
