The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

When Xiao Yuan was live streaming, Anning was figuring out how to deal with Rong Junhao.

Mrs. Rong started out in the supermarket business and later ventured into real estate.

During the years when housing prices soared, Mrs. Rong made quite a bit of money, and her assets increased several times over.

But now that the real estate market is sluggish, Mrs. Rong urgently needs to expand into some emerging industries.

After Rong Junhao took over Mrs. Rong, he was also thinking about transformation.

Anning’s task is to suppress Mrs. Rong before she finds a new development path.

She has connections at Mrs. Rong, and she had laid the groundwork before leaving Mrs. Rong.

Through these people, Anning learned that Rong Junhao was trying to sell some of Mrs. Rong’s real estate and began acquiring pharmaceutical companies, inviting many researchers to Mrs. Rong, to move towards the field of biopharmaceuticals.

Upon hearing this, Anning laughed. This Rong Junhao really doesn’t know the meaning of the word ”die.” He actually dares to venture into biopharmaceuticals in front of the ancestor of the pharmaceutical industry, Xiao Yuan. If he dares to do this, he’ll certainly die quickly.

Additionally, Anning learned from a small secretary at Mrs. Rong that Rong Junhao was contacting a young master from the Capital.

Anning asked An Xin to investigate who Rong Junhao was contacting and what he was planning to do.

After conducting a round of investigations, An Xin returned and said to Anning: ”It seems that the old master of the Wu Family in the Capital was poisoned, and the Wu Family’s Feng Shui was tampered with. Rong Junhao detoxified the old master and helped the Wu Family adjust their Feng Shui. I think he’s planning to develop in this area, aiming to quickly make friends with some powerful individuals to protect Mrs. Rong.”

”Is that so.” Anning knocked on the table, put away the document, stood up, picked up her coat, and walked towards the door: ”So that’s his plan.”

”Ningning, what does he intend to do?”

An Xin couldn’t think of what Rong Junhao wanted to do.

Anning went downstairs to drive, and only when she got in the car did she explain to An Xin: ”He wants to pressure Mrs. Yun through these people, and he also wants to suppress Xiao Yuan, just like in that lifetime. He wants to bankrupt Mrs. Yun or corner me so I have no choice but to submit to him.”

”Despicable.” An Xin cursed angrily.

”Exactly.” Anning drove out, wearing a lazy smile, seemingly indifferent, but An Xin knew Anning was up to something.

Anning drove back to the Yun Family’s old residence, where she turned around and found that the Feng Shui had been tampered with.

She entered the house, and Ms. Xu was quite pleased to see her return: ”Ningning, how come you’re back at this time?”

Anning smiled and hung up her coat: ”Today’s not busy, so I came back to check. Is A Yuan here?”

Ms. Xu pointed to a room: ”He’s live streaming inside. You don’t know? Now A Yuan is quite amazing. He has over a million fans, and every time he streams, the room is crowded with people.”

Anning smiled and said: ”He’s really quite capable.”

”Of course.” Ms. Xu showed pride when talking about Xiao Yuan.

Recently, she witnessed how Xiao Yuan grew a livestream with little popularity. She helped with many ideas during Xiao Yuan’s live streams, and this gave Ms. Xu a great sense of accomplishment.

She pulled Anning to sit down and whispered: ”Keep your voice down, don’t disturb A Yuan.”

Anning responded and then asked Ms. Xu: ”Mom, has Rong Junhao visited our home recently?”

Ms. Xu thought for a while: ”I think he visited once more than half a month ago, but hasn’t come back since. Why?”

Anning shook her head: ”Nothing, I’m just feeling a bit ominous, I’m afraid he’s up to something bad.”

”No way.” Ms. Xu was startled: ”Jun Hao wouldn’t, we haven’t offended him, why would he target us?”

Anning held Ms. Xu’s hand: ”He resents me for breaking off the engagement, he approached me several times about it, and his words weren’t pleasant. Once he even threatened me. Mom, having grown up with him, I never thought he’d be this kind of person.”

Anning was keen on ruining Rong Junhao’s image in front of Ms. Xu.

This made Ms. Xu’s impression of Rong Junhao even worse: ”I’ll ignore him if he comes again. Really, how can he be like this? Does he want to lay there lifelessly and demand that you stay by his side forever? If he lies there forever, do you have to stay with him forever? Why should you? You didn’t marry him, and even if you did, marriage can end in divorce. What era is this? He thinks this is ancient times, demanding women to be absolutely virtuous.”

Anning chuckled: ”We just won’t bother him, and he won’t be able to stir up much.”

As they were talking, Xiao Yuan came out of the room.

He smiled at Anning, then asked Ms. Xu: ”Auntie, is there any fruit at home? I’d like to have some.”

”Yes, yes.” Ms. Xu quickly stood up: ”Wait, I’ll cut some for you.”

”Thank you, Auntie.” Xiao Yuan followed Ms. Xu into the kitchen, and soon came out with a plate of fruit.

Ms. Xu didn’t return to the living room but went upstairs, as there was something to attend to.

After Ms. Xu left, Anning asked Xiao Yuan: ”Who tampered with our Feng Shui?”

Xiao Yuan ate a piece of fruit and said: ”First, it was Rong Junhao, then I adjusted it.”

Anning nodded: ”No wonder it improved the Feng Shui.”

Then her expression changed: ”Rong Junhao is planning to dabble in mysticism too. I guess he knows he can’t beat me in business, so he tries this approach to suppress me. For so many lifetimes, he hasn’t changed his nature, always relying on confinement schemes. But too bad, I’m not Ning Ruoxi, and I won’t let him manipulate me.”

What is Rong Junhao doing now?

He’s entertaining the third young master of the Wu Family, Wu Zhichang.

Wu Zhichang is a bit unpredictable but also very straightforward.

Since Rong Junhao detoxified Mr. Wu, Wu Zhichang has started interacting with Rong Junhao.

When Rong Junhao helped other families with Feng Shui adjustments, Wu Zhichang followed along and became very interested. This time, feeling a bit bored, he came over to find Rong Junhao and see what he was up to.

Rong Junhao had a few drinks with Wu Zhichang and started sharing his woes.

”Brother Wu, you see my appearance and Feng Shui, but you don’t know the bitterness in my heart. I truly didn’t expect her to change her heart so quickly. Yes, I shouldn’t blame her, considering I was laying like that for over a year without any idea when I would wake up. Of course, she wants to break off the engagement, and not care for me, it’s only reasonable. But... sigh, years of feelings are not easily dismissed. I’m reluctant.”

Saying this, Rong Junhao took a sip of his drink, and while doing so, he began to cry.

A grown man crying like a child: ”What am I supposed to do? I’ve put aside my dignity to beg her, but she’s still cold to me. What should I do? I can give her everything; I just ask her to accept me again. But why is it so difficult?”

Earlier it was mentioned that Wu Zhichang is an emotional person. He loves stories of genuine, passionate love, and seeing Rong Junhao cry over a woman like a dog, he truly sympathized with him.

Moreover, Wu Zhichang knew about Rong Junhao’s situation, and he felt Anning was wrong in this.

Yes, Rong Junhao turned into a vegetative state, but it wasn’t his choice. Anning didn’t care for him, and within just a year was so disdainful that she wanted to call off the engagement.

Granted, she wanted to break off the engagement, but she was so ruthless, showing no regard for past affections, deeply humiliating Rong Junhao. Such a woman has a heart of a snake and scorpion.

Wu Zhichang at this time had no good impression of Anning, believing Rong Junhao’s misfortune was falling for Anning.

”It’s just a woman.” Wu Zhichang patted Rong Junhao’s shoulder, his speech slurred, comforting him: ”There are plenty of women in this world. What kind do you like? I can find it for you, be it young socialites from the Capital or glamorous actresses. Just say it, if you like them, I can arrange it perfectly for you.”

Rong Junhao drank another glass, shaking his head vigorously: ”I don’t want anyone else; I only want her. Without her, my life won’t work; I’ll die...”

By now, Wu Zhichang was genuinely touched by Rong Junhao, but also a bit exasperated: ”Why are you so stubborn? Is it worth it for a woman?”

”As long as it’s her, it’s worth it.” Rong Junhao, quite inebriated, uttered these words and then slumped on the table, completely unconscious.

Wu Zhichang had no choice; he rented a room and instructed people to take Rong Junhao to the room.

He left the hotel, thinking about Rong Junhao’s words, and became curious about Anning.

He wanted to see what kind of stunning beauty bewitched Rong Junhao like this.
