The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

With a loud bang.

Li Wanping angrily slammed the table and stood up.

Anning had completely enraged her.

She had lost her sanity.

She pointed at Anning’s nose and cursed, ”Old demon, don’t you realize how old you are? Still acting like a little girl, hugging and kissing and lifting each other high? Pfft, haven’t seen a man for a few lifetimes, are you planning on performing some restricted scenes in front of everyone here?”

”Wanping.”

Xiao Zhe panicked and rushed to grab Li Wanping.

Li Wanping shook him off, ”I know you’re filial and don’t want to upset the old man, but there’s no such thing as foolish filial piety—if you won’t say it today, I will.”

She glared at Anning viciously, ”Xiao’s, you know what kind of person you are. Don’t put on a show of love in front of me. If it’s not for money or property, then what are you after?”

She pointed at Xiao Yuan, implying whether you’re after his age or his baldness.

But the words wouldn’t come out.

Xiao Yuan stood there with a very upright posture, looking younger than Xiao Zhe, with full thick black hair, neither a big belly nor a bald spot in sight, exuding a charisma and success that resembled a charming man in his thirties, how could he look like someone from a grandfather’s generation?

”A Yuan.” Anning burrowed into Xiao Yuan’s arms and started sobbing, ”You say your son is filial, your daughter-in-law is sensible; is this how they are filial and sensible? What did I do wrong? I just fell in love with you, loving you irresistibly. What’s wrong with me? Is pursuing love wrong? They insult me like this. You’re so wonderful; falling in love with you is quite normal. Why can’t they stand that we’re happy? I’m living happily. I wish everyone in the world could be as happy as us. But they, they’re paired off yet hope for you to be alone and miserable. Their intentions aren’t good.”

Xiao Yuan patted Anning’s back and coldly swept his gaze to Xiao Zhe, ”Xiao Zhe, this is my home. Your Aunt Tao is the lady of this house. In our own home, should we still be restricted? We can do as we please without needing to look at anyone’s face. If you don’t want to see us being affectionate, you can move out. I remember you own properties. Starting today, you must move out immediately. I don’t want to see you all here anymore.”

Finished speaking, with anger, Xiao Yuan called out, ”Lao Liu, Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, go and pack all of Xiao Zhe’s family’s things and throw them out.”

Xiao Zhe panicked.

He quickly stood up and apologized to Xiao Yuan, ”Dad, Dad, it’s our fault. Wanping has been in a bad mood lately. She’s gone mad. Please don’t take it to heart.”

He then smiled apologetically at Anning, ”Aunt Tao, we really respect you.”

Anning looked down at her fresh red nails, ”Oh, respecting me means calling me an old demon?”

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Yuan with teary eyes, ”A Yuan, am I old?”

Xiao Yuan lowered his head and, when looking at Anning, his face was full of tender affection, ”You’re the most beautiful.”

But when he looked at Xiao Zhe, his face was cold as ice, ”Children should leave their parents and live separately once they grow up. That way, we all have our own space, and there won’t be many grievances. I was alone before and tolerated you staying here with me. But I’ve now married; your Aunt Tao and I need our own space. With you here, none of us are comfortable. You should hurry and move out.”

Xiao Yuan tried to speak to Xiao Zhe in a calm tone.

But his gaze was extremely icy, making Xiao Zhe want to shiver where he stood.

”Dad, I...”

Xiao Yuan’s eyes were smoldering with hidden fury, ”Don’t make me repeat myself. Otherwise, your bank cards will all be canceled.”

”Fine, we’ll leave.”

Li Wanping couldn’t stand it any longer. She rushed upstairs to pack her things, and before going up the stairs, she turned back and made a harsh remark to Xiao Yuan, ”Dad, this woman is deceiving you. When you wake up in the future, don’t turn around and beg us to come back.”

”Rest assured, I won’t.”

Xiao Yuan coldly replied with a sentence.

Anning took the opportunity to say softly and weakly, ”A Yuan, I’m not deceiving you. I’m sincerely devoted to you, and I will always be with you.”

Xiao Zhe was extremely disgusted.

He thought that if he stayed at home any longer, he might go crazy.

So, on this day, Xiao Zhe’s family was evicted from home.

On this day, Anning stayed with Xiao Yuan at work in the company.

In the evening, Anning smiled and told Xi Jingchen, ”Your mom and they moved out, now the old house is just me and your grandfather; remember to come back and visit us when you and Manman have time.”

”My mom moved out?”

Xi Jingchen was stunned for a moment, ”Why did she suddenly move out?”

Anning chuckled lightly, ”Living together isn’t comfortable for anyone.”

Xi Jingchen didn’t think much about it.

He just thought, well, it sounds reasonable; after all, Anning and Li Wanping had long-standing grievances, so living under one roof was indeed difficult.

Besides, the Xiao Family is not short of money; Xiao Zhe also owns several properties, so Li Wanping doesn’t lack a place to stay; moving out is fine.

What he didn’t know was that Xiao Zhe being kicked out of the old house was actually equivalent to Xiao Yuan announcing to the outside world that Xiao Zhe wouldn’t be his heir, and that the Xiao Family had nothing to do with Xiao Zhe.

Xiao Tong found out in the evening when they returned home that their family had been kicked out by Xiao Yuan, and she was almost going crazy.

She went to their current residence and directly confronted Li Wanping.

”Are you stupid? The Old Madam did this on purpose, she wanted to provoke you to lose your manners in front of the old man and then use this as a pretext to kick us out. And you, you just rushed to fall into the Old Madam’s trap.”

Xiao Tong furiously scolded Li Wanping, ”Li Wanping, what have you got to show off? Dumb, foolish, so petty, only your looks held up and now you’re old and faded. You’re just...”

Li Wanping started sobbing to Xiao Zhe, ”Ah Zhe, look at your daughter, how can she treat me this way. No matter how bad I am, I raised her since she was little. She’s so disrespectful.”

Xiao Zhe hurried to console Li Wanping.

He loved this woman for so many years; although the passion had faded, he still could not bear to see her aggrieved.

Xiao Tong laughed angrily, ”You say Old Madam is an old demon, but look at yourself, aren’t you just the same as her now? Truly like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; you two are just the same.”

Li Wanping froze.

Xiao Zhe was also a little dumbstruck.

It seemed Xiao Tong was right.

They were also like this when they lived at home, constantly flaunting their affection without regard for others.

The Old Madam and Li Wanping didn’t seem all that different.

Li Wanping felt a chill. Had she really been influenced by the Old Madam all these years? After all, she had been her daughter-in-law for several years.

Xiao Zhe scrutinized Li Wanping, Li Wanping scrutinized Xiao Zhe.

Xiao Tong picked up a cup on the table and smashed it down, ”A pair of fools. Good for you; people kick you out, and you just move out. Do you understand what this means? It means my dad will no longer be associated with the Xiao Family.”

”No, it can’t be.” Xiao Zhe was a bit frightened, ”The old man’s only child is me.”

”No, he has better sons and grandsons now.” Xiao Tong was truly worried about Xiao Zhe’s intelligence, ”What kind of person is the Old Madam? She’s a shrewd one, and the old man has been astute his whole life, yet he’s trapped by her. She’s kicked you out now to pave the way for Xi Jingchen. What have you been wasting your thoughts on these days? You’ve never cared about company matters. I’ve heard the old man now takes Xi Jingchen with him every day, teaching him step by step.”
