The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

”Brother, I’m starving, can you fry me an egg?”

Outside, Xiao Yishan shouted.

”Okay.”

Qin Xiaocong didn’t answer Xiao Yilin’s question.

He took out the frying pan and asked Xiao Yilin, ”Do you want some?”

Xiao Yilin waved her hand, ”No, I’m on a diet, I only eat boiled eggs.”

Qin Xiaocong looked Xiao Yilin up and down, ”You’re not fat, why are you dieting?”

”A lot of clothes require a slim figure to look good, to bring out that vibe.”

Xiao Yilin said, ”I’m going out to work, you see how I look, if I don’t dress a bit mature, people will think I’m underage.”

To be honest, Xiao Yilin indeed looks young.

The Qin siblings both have delicate features, bright and radiant, while Xiao Lu and Xiao Yishan resemble Xiao Yuan, giving off a cool and ethereal vibe.

Xiao Yilin seems to resemble someone from the Zhang Family, born with a baby face. She’s not fat, but her face is round, looking plump and cute, with large cat-like eyes, making her appear particularly young. At first glance, one might think she’s a fourteen or fifteen-year-old minor.

”If it really doesn’t work out, you can go work at Mom’s company. Oh, Dad’s opening a shop, you could help there too.”

Qin Xiaocong suggested to Xiao Yilin, ”Mom and Dad just want to train us; it’s not like they truly want us struggling.”

”I know, I just want to test my abilities.”

Xiao Yilin brought eggs over for Qin Xiaocong to fry, while she started cooking rice and preparing vegetables.

Xiao Yuan didn’t go looking for Anning after going out.

He went straight to the hospital.

Before heading over, Xiao Yuan had contacted a familiar person at the hospital.

After arriving, he put on a white coat and, keeping track of time, went to the Old Madam’s ward.

”Doctor, you’re finally here, my mom has a fever.”

The Old Madam’s son quickly approached Xiao Yuan for help.

Xiao Yuan went over and glanced at her, discretely holding her wrist, seemingly checking but actually taking her pulse.

”This is from a wound inflammation.”

He whispered to the Old Madam’s son, ”The nurse will give her an IV later with antibiotics...”

”Oh, good, that’s good.”

After checking on the Old Madam, Xiao Yuan gave a few more instructions. He’s been a doctor through countless lifetimes, in both Chinese and Western medicine, so he’s very familiar with hospital routines and speaks authoritatively.

After finishing his advice, Xiao Yuan left.

Returning the white coat, Doctor Zhou, whom he helped earlier, asked, ”How did it go? Did you find anything?”

Xiao Yuan smirked, ”Driven mad by greed, trying to completely extort my daughter.”

”We know this isn’t right, but the hospital is in a tough spot.”

Doctor Zhou chuckled awkwardly, ”Her leg wasn’t broken when she joined the hospital; the fracture happened later. We can’t explain it well, and now her son is accusing us of being inept, demanding compensation. You know how medical disputes go these days...”

Xiao Yuan showed understanding, ”It’s hard to reason in many cases. They act unreasonably, defying logic, while leaving us defenseless. I’m aware of this.”

”So how do you plan to handle it?”

Doctor Zhou expressed concern for Xiao Yuan, ”If this isn’t resolved, it will have a great impact on the child. She might live in its shadow her entire life. Plus, the old lady and her son aren’t kind people. Unless she dies, they won’t let go...”

Xiao Yuan rubbed his forehead, ”I’m aware, my wife is searching for footage; I hope she finds some.”

”Hopefully.”

Doctor Zhou placed the coat aside and offered, ”Let’s go; I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Xiao Yuan waved it off, ”Another time, I need to find my wife.”

He bade Doctor Zhou farewell and left the hospital. He called Anning, ”How’s it going? Have you found anything?”

Anning laughed, ”No, that area’s a blind spot without any cameras or nearby shops.”

Xiao Yuan got into his car, ”That old lady’s ruthless, breaking her leg in the hospital to extort money from our family; she won’t rest.”

Anning laughed, ”She really is... But nothing escapes you, the Divine Doctor.”

With Xiao Yuan’s masterful medical skills, he easily discerned that the old lady wasn’t truly ill, her health was quite good. Her fracture was a recent injury, definitely not from a collision.

”Let’s head back.”

After asking where Anning was, Xiao Yuan went to pick her up.

He drove over, and Anning got in the car, ”Let’s head back, we’ll discuss this at home.”

They returned home to find Xiao Yilin and Qin Xiaocong had already prepared dinner; Xiao Lu also hurried home.

As soon as she entered, she asked, ”What’s going on?”

”Nothing major.”

Anning pulled her down to sit, ”Look at you sweating, take a rest, we’ll talk after dinner.”

Once the food was on the table, the family sat down to eat.

After the meal, Xiao Lu learned what had happened.

She raised her eyebrows, ”Tsk, daring to mess with my sister? Just you wait.”

Xiao Yuan looked at her, ”I taught you mysticism not for this; you’re not allowed to meddle with others’ Feng Shui.”

Xiao Lu huffed, ”Dad, why can’t I... They dared to bully us, why shouldn’t I...”

Qin Xiaomeng, scared, quickly pulled Xiao Lu, ”Big sister, I’m fine, you really shouldn’t do that for such people; it’s not worth it.”

With family ties to mysticism, Qin Xiaomeng knew the rules; if Xiao Lu messed with others’ Feng Shui causing them harm, she’d face repercussions.

Qin Xiaocong told Xiao Lu, ”Big sister, leave this to me. No need for mysticism; I have plenty of tricks.”

Xiao Lu leaned in, ”What tricks?”

”It’s a secret.”

Xiao Yuan didn’t stop her.

Dealing with ordinary people using ordinary means, he had no reason to intervene.

He wanted to see if Qin Xiaocong was capable, evaluating how well he handled this matter. If done well, Xiao Yuan thought he could mentor Qin Xiaocong.

With Xiao Lu calmed, Anning reassured Qin Xiaomeng, ”Relax, I found some footage. Your father and I will sort it out. You should keep attending school; it’s fine.”

Qin Xiaocong also assured Qin Xiaomeng, ”No problem, at school, Yishan and I will look out for you.”

Once the kids went to rest, Anning and Xiao Yuan went into the study.

Anning turned on her computer; Xiao Yuan did the same.

Anning sighed, ”Who knows when An Xin will complete the repair. If we had An Xin, we’d save so much trouble.”

Xiao Yuan smiled, patting her head, ”Even without An Xin, you have me. If you’re tired, I’ll handle it.”

Anning waved it off, ”Let’s tackle it together; you handle the hospital part, I’ll take care of the corner.”

Indeed, with no footage or recordings, Anning and Xiao Yuan decided to create their own video evidence.
