The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Wu Zhichang wanted to see Anning, but didn’t know how.

After all, Anning is the chairman of Mrs. Yun’s company, and she’s incredibly busy every day. Even many CEOs with cooperative relationships with her need to make appointments to see her, let alone Wu Zhichang, who is more of a free agent.

Wu Zhichang pondered for a while and finally decided to try his luck at Mrs. Yun’s company.

His luck was actually quite good, as not long after he arrived outside Mrs. Yun’s company, he saw Anning coming out.

Seeing Anning for the first time, Wu Zhichang had to admit her excellence.

He thought to himself that no wonder Rong Junhao couldn’t forget Anning. If he had such an outstanding fiancée, he’d also want to be together at all times, let alone break off the engagement—he’d probably be jealous even if someone else glanced at her.

Indeed, Anning’s aura was simply too good. Her looks were secondary; what really mattered was her elegant demeanor that could capture anyone’s heart.

”Mr. Yun.”

Wu Zhichang gathered his slightly fluttering feelings and went over to greet Anning.

Anning stopped and glanced at Wu Zhichang, then smiled, ”Hello, Mr. Wu.”

”You recognize me?”

Wu Zhichang asked with a smile, feeling a bit curious inside.

Anning pointed to a nearby café, ”Shall we go in and have a seat?”

Wu Zhichang was hoping for this.

Thus, the two of them went into the café one after the other, and after finding a place to sit, Anning asked, ”Is there something Mr. Wu wants from me?”

Wu Zhichang initially planned to ask how Anning recognized him, but seeing she didn’t intend to dwell on that, he asked another question instead, ”Mr. Yun, do you know if Rong Junhao is troubled over you? I wanted to ask why you decided to break off the engagement with Rong Junhao?”

Anning waited for the server to bring the coffee, and then she chuckled lightly, ”No matter the stance Mr. Wu is coming from with this question, since you’ve asked, I’ve got to give you the respect for it. Breaking off the engagement with Rong Junhao was naturally because he did something to betray me, something life-threatening, leaving me no choice but to break it off. As for how Rong Junhao is doing, I don’t know nor do I want to know. If Mr. Wu doesn’t believe me, you can go ask Rong Junhao himself, and let him tell you how he endangered my life. While plotting to take over my and Mrs. Yun’s industry, he still pretended to be deeply devoted and unwavering—that’s something to behold.”

Wu Zhichang was stunned for a moment: ”Are you saying... is this true? How did Rong Junhao endanger your life? He always seemed...”

Anning took a sip of coffee: ”You probably know what abilities Rong Junhao has, right? Do you really believe he became a vegetative state?”

This statement left Wu Zhichang unable to respond.

After all, he had witnessed Rong Junhao’s means and knew his abilities were beyond comprehension. Would such a high-handed person really become a vegetative state due to a mere car accident?

Wu Zhichang hadn’t doubted it before, but now he was starting to question it.

”Mr. Wu, some things can’t be judged solely by appearance. You only listened to Rong Junhao’s one-sided story and assumed it was me who wronged him. But don’t you think: if he hadn’t done something to betray me, would I be so anxious to break off an engagement that has lasted over ten years? With our families being close, would I hastily break it off just because he became a vegetative state? And think again, if he’s really remained a vegetative state, who would benefit from it? With the engagement in place, I could openly control Mrs. Rong’s assets, even turning Mrs. Rong’s properties into our Yun Family’s assets, regardless of how he is. Just Mrs. Rong’s alone could make countless people willingly stand guard for him, don’t you say?”

Anning’s words thoroughly swayed Wu Zhichang towards her side. He felt Anning was right.

If Rong Junhao was just an ordinary person, and his family background was also ordinary, then his becoming a vegetative state might lead to a fiancée breaking off the engagement due to the inability to bear it.

But behind Rong Junhao stands Mrs. Rong’s business as a considerable asset, who wouldn’t be envious of that?

If Anning were greedy, she would’ve quietly begun transferring Mrs. Rong’s assets a long time ago. Yet, after managing Mrs. Rong’s for over a year, she hasn’t sought personal gain. Clearly, her integrity is strong, not someone who forgets righteousness for the sake of benefits.

Would such a person break off the engagement just because Rong Junhao had been lying there for over a year?

Clearly not.

Surely Rong Junhao must have done something that betrayed Anning, forcing her to break off the engagement.

Anning could tell Wu Zhichang was swayed.

She smiled, ”Do you really think Rong Junhao is so kind-hearted, treating Old Master Wu’s illness while also arranging Feng Shui for your family?”

This statement really frightened Wu Zhichang: ”What Feng Shui? I don’t know about it.”

Anning held a spoon, constantly stirring her coffee, with faint clinking sounds resonating, adding to Wu Zhichang’s anxiety.

”Let’s not talk in circles, we all understand what’s going on.” Anning looked up and smiled at Wu Zhichang: ”A large Feng Shui formation shouldn’t be easily altered. Rong Junhao wouldn’t expend his cultivation to adjust Wu Family’s Feng Shui without sufficient benefit, would he? He betrayed even a fiancée he loved for over ten years, would he be so generous to a family with little ties?”

Speaking of that, Anning shook her head, ”The other day, Rong Junhao went to my family’s old residence, messing with our Feng Shui there. Do you know what he changed it to?”

”What?”

Wu Zhichang’s heart tightened, quickly asking.

”Qi Fortune outflow. He altered our home’s Feng Shui to allow Mrs. Yun’s Qi Fortune to outflow, making it easier for Mrs. Rong’s to absorb. He wishes to thrive by sucking the blood of our Yun Family.”

After saying this, Anning glanced at Wu Zhichang once more: ”If you don’t believe, just wait and see what happens to your family in a few days.”

Anning left such a statement behind, rose, and gracefully departed, leaving Wu Zhichang in fear and uncertainty.

After Anning left, Wu Zhichang sat there for a while, then pulled out his phone, intending to call home, but his elder brother Wu Zhiwen called first.

”Third, where are you?”

”I’m in East Continent.” Wu Zhichang quickly replied, feeling a pang of unease, thinking something might have happened at home.

”Something happened at home.” Wu Zhiwen’s voice sounded somewhat anxious: ”Second Uncle suddenly passed out.”

Second Uncle Wu is the Wu Family’s money manager. When he was young, Mr. Wu wanted him to go into politics, but he wasn’t fond of that lifestyle, resulting in many disagreements with Mr. Wu. Later, he went on to engage in business, for which he had a talent, gradually establishing his own enterprise. Now, Second Uncle Wu’s company is very large, and most of the money needed by the Wu Family is provided by him.

If Second Uncle Wu were incapacitated, it would significantly impact the Wu Family.

Wu Zhichang instantly thought of Anning’s words about Qi Fortune outflow.

Indeed, Rong Junhao is a businessman focused on profit. If there’s no significant benefit, why would he help the Wu Family?

Other Feng Shui Masters might assist the Wu Family for money, but given the massive assets of Mrs. Rong’s, would Rong Junhao act for that little money?

Mrs. Rong’s wants to transform, and Second Uncle Wu is a successful businessman...
