The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

But, despite her having slit her wrist, Xiao Yuan still didn’t show up.

At this time, public opinion started criticizing Xiao Yuan, saying his character was flawed, lacking filial piety; no matter how Xiao Nian was, Mrs. Xiao was still his biological mother, how could he not show up when his mother attempted suicide.

Some even began to sympathize with Mrs. Xiao.

While the online chatter was ongoing, an official website released a message stating that Xiao Yuan had privately helped several researchers solve some difficult problems, which happened to be challenges faced by a significant national project. As a result, Xiao Yuan was recommended by these researchers into the research institute, and he’s currently in isolation for scientific research, likely not returning for a year or half a year.

With the release of this message, everyone came to a realization; no wonder Xiao Yuan wasn’t responding, he was in seclusion.

Compared to significant scientific projects, the Xiao Family’s matters seemed too trivial.

Not even the fiercest online trolls dared to criticize Xiao Yuan now; united, they turned to attack Mr. and Mrs. Xiao.

Everyone said Mr. and Mrs. Xiao were too selfish; they almost destroyed the excellent Xiao Yuan, and if his mental resilience wasn’t strong enough, he might have fallen apart long ago. With such high intelligence, if wasted, it would be a national loss. Their actions were criminal, against the whole nation.

In any case, the Xiao Family trio was nailed to the pillar of shame.

Of course, they did not escape legal punishment.

This event’s conclusion nearly drove Rong Junhao to death out of anger.

Unable to deal with Anning, he wanted to target Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Yuan seized the opportunity to latch onto the nation, making it impossible for him to strike.

He decided to downgrade and humiliate Ning Ruoxi.

But with Xiao Yuan entering the laboratory, Ning Ruoxi stayed by Anning, becoming her personal life assistant, leaving Rong Junhao with no chance to target Ning Ruoxi.

He was so angered by this that he spent sleepless nights, affecting even his physical health.

It wasn’t until over a year later, when Xiao Yuan emerged from the laboratory, that the research achieved a groundbreaking result, and major colleges frantically began to recruit him.

But Xiao Yuan rejected all the offers from the colleges.

He didn’t attend university again; instead, he returned to the entertainment circle, restarting his live broadcast.

Furthermore, Xiao Yuan openly flaunted his love with Anning.

They would hold hands while shopping, live in his broadcast room showing some of their daily lives, and even broadcast cooking and such. The sweetness of their love made countless fans envious, winning blessings from all fans.

They were just too well-matched, too sweet; everyone was deeply invested in this couple.

Fans sent their blessings, but Rong Junhao was filled with jealousy.

He couldn’t wait any longer; if he kept waiting, he would go insane.

In desperation, Rong Junhao made a move against Xiao Yuan.

He had gone mad; in order to kill Xiao Yuan, he laid a grand trap, unhesitatingly using the lives of thousands in a certain place of Dongzhou City as bait, intending to put Xiao Yuan to death.

An Xin had always been monitoring Rong Junhao, informing Anning and Xiao Yuan when he set up the array.

Anning and Xiao Yuan secretly destroyed the Array Base, and at this time, they had gauged Rong Junhao’s strength, quickly subduing him.

Anning did not kill Rong Junhao but instead imprisoned him.

She wanted to study the reasons behind Rong Junhao’s crossing several worlds; besides, Rong Junhao’s Divine Soul was powerful, and if purified, it would be a great supplement.

Following that, Anning and Xiao Yuan naturally got married.

The two researched for many years, finally understanding how Rong Junhao traveled through time, then extracted and purified his Divine Soul to repair their own Divine Soul.

Meanwhile, Rong Junhao had always known how Anning and Xiao Yuan were loving, and knew Ning Ruoxi was by their side as an assistant, yet she always behaved herself and never tried to seduce Xiao Yuan. She diligently performed her duties while learning new things.

Later, Ning Ruoxi found someone she loved.

The person was Xiao Yuan’s co-actor in a film, where Xiao Yuan played the lead, and Ning Ruoxi’s boyfriend played the second lead. Ning Ruoxi, as Xiao Yuan’s assistant, helped handle an injury the second lead sustained during an accident using her experience as a nurse and her skills in bone setting. Because of this incident, the second lead paid attention to Ning Ruoxi. After the film, he began to pursue her.

The two dated for over two years before getting married.

After marriage, Ning Ruoxi lived a happy life, and more than a year later, she had a daughter.

Anning specifically informed Rong Junhao of this incident.

At that time, she said to Rong Junhao: ”In our past life, the tragedy between Ning Ruoxi and me was all caused by you, the main culprit. What right do you have to accuse us? Look, without you, Ning Ruoxi and I are very happy; we are a loving couple living sweetly. As for you...no matter how many lives you go through, you’re still a sinner; you shouldn’t exist in this world.”

Anning and Ning Ruoxi’s happiness shattered Rong Junhao.

He completely broke down, and Anning took this opportunity to extract his Divine Soul.

Then, Anning realized how Rong Junhao and Ning Ruoxi’s relationship unfolded after she died in that life.

In the years Rong Junhao was a vegetative state, Ning Ruoxi always took care of him.

Stuck in darkness, Ning Ruoxi became the ray of warmth to him. When he awoke, he became infatuated with Ning Ruoxi’s warmth, stubbornly believing he loved her. Regardless of Ning Ruoxi’s wishes, he imprisoned her by his side.

But before he found Ning Ruoxi, Ning Ruoxi had already started dating someone; they loved each other. To possess Ning Ruoxi, Rong Junhao killed her lover and disregarded her willingness to imprison her in the Rong Family.

After killing Anning, Rong Junhao married Ning Ruoxi.

But after Anning’s death, he regretted it.

Through long-term interaction with Ning Ruoxi, he finally saw his heart clearly.

He always loved Anning, who grew up with him and understood him, not Ning Ruoxi, who only performed household chores, appearing warm and virtuous.

He and Ning Ruoxi had no common language, Ning Ruoxi only knew how to cry, unable to help in any way. Anning was different; she shared his ideals, was capable, could help him greatly, and throughout his life, the shadow of Anning was always present. Anning was like Water, seeping into his life bit by bit. When present, he felt nothing, but losing Anning, he began feeling regret and pain.

He started to resent Ning Ruoxi, and she resented him back, leading to mutual torment.

Eventually, Ning Ruoxi went mad, putting sleeping pills in Rong Junhao’s drink, and after he fell asleep, she set fire to the cage imprisoning her.
