The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Pei Yu stayed in the Provincial City for two days, Wang Ming accompanied her all the time.

Though the weather was cold, the two didn’t just stay at Wang Ming’s place all the time.

During these two days, they went together for meals, Wang Ming accompanied Pei Yu shopping and even helped her buy a car.

After two days, Pei Yu drove the new car away.

Seeing Pei Yu off, Wang Ming remained in a low mood for quite a while.

Pei Yu left early in the morning, Wang Ming skipped lunch and only came out for dinner.

Yang Baozhu set the dinner table, and she kept watching Wang Ming eat.

When Wang Ming was almost finished, Yang Baozhu cautiously asked Wang Ming, ”Brother Wang, how did you meet Miss Pei?”

Wang Ming looked up at Yang Baozhu and then lowered his eyes, saying, ”She saved me.”

He didn’t want to reveal how he met Pei Yu, so he offered a vague response.

Yang Baozhu sat down to face Wang Ming, hesitated a bit, but gritted her teeth and said what was on her mind.

”Brother Wang, Miss Pei, well, she doesn’t have a good reputation around us. In our village, surrounding villages, and even in town, everyone secretly calls her a bus. She couldn’t stay home, so she went to Dream City with Pei Anyi.”

Watching Wang Ming remain silent.

Yang Baozhu grew bolder, ”The girls from the Pei Family all have a bad reputation. Pei Anyi, her niece, is most like her. Since middle school, she’s been involved with men, both in the county, town, and village.”

Wang Ming said nothing, just glanced at Yang Baozhu and wheeled himself back to the bedroom.

Gangzi came to check on Wang Ming and saw him reading inside before quickly leaving.

He sat beside Yang Baozhu, ”Treasure Bead, haven’t I told you not to be so gossipy? Why did you...”

Yang Baozhu felt wronged, ”Brother Gangzi, I didn’t mean anything bad, I only see Brother Wang seems to like Miss Pei, so I warned him. I don’t want him to be deceived.”

Gangzi didn’t know what to say, after a moment, he sighed, ”You ah, like is like, you think everyone can marry into the Wang Family? Do people marry into Wang Family without checking? And you, you’re just a nanny, so nosy, what does it mean?”

As Gangzi said this, he carefully looked at Yang Baozhu.

He seemed to realize something, stood up, and walked to another bedroom.

Yang Baozhu’s eyes turned red, as she went into the kitchen, contemplating smashing a bowl.

The last few days while Pei Yu was here, Yang Baozhu had often wanted to scratch that dazzling face of Pei Yu.

Wang Ming was someone Yang Baozhu had taken a liking to, and Pei Yu dared to compete with her. If this weren’t the Wang Family, Yang Baozhu would’ve tried every method to ruin Pei Yu’s looks.

Finally waiting for Pei Yu to leave, Yang Baozhu couldn’t hold back any longer.

She realized Wang Ming liked Pei Yu. He was so happy when Pei Yu arrived, and once she left, he was all gloomy, showing Pei Yu weighed heavily in his heart.

Without tarnishing Pei Yu’s image, Yang Baozhu understood she couldn’t affect Wang Ming.

However, after all she said, Wang Ming showed no reaction.

What on earth was he thinking?

Yang Baozhu was burning with anxiety inside.

Wang Ming sat for a while, then picked up the phone to make a call.

He called Lady Wang.

”Aunt, what’s Yang Baozhu’s background?”

Lady Wang smiled lightly, ”Just a regular girl from the village, why, has she done something?”

Wang Ming replied solemnly, ”She talks too much, slandering my friends right before me. I don’t think she’s suitable to stay here anymore. Aunt, since you recommended her, you should take her away.”

Lady Wang paused, ”What happened? Tell me in detail.”

Initially, Wang Ming didn’t plan on discussing Pei Yu.

But he had reached this point, so he had to speak out.

He explained how Pei Yu came to visit him, how Yang Baozhu reacted strangely, pulled a long face these two days, spoke with a peculiar tone, and then gossiped when Pei Yu left.

After listening, Lady Wang thought for a while, ”Okay, I’ll get her out soon, but, who will take care of you if she goes?”

Wang Ming chuckled, ”Just tidying up the place, cooking three meals a day. I can find someone here in the Provincial City, an older aunty would be fine, no need for a young girl.”

”A-Ming, be honest with Auntie, do you like that Miss Pei?”

Lady Wang dropped the matter about Yang Baozhu and became interested in Pei Yu.

Wang Ming remained silent.

He didn’t affirm nor deny any feelings.

But Lady Wang had already understood, ”Is Pei Yu that singer Pei Yu?”

”Yes.” Wang Ming didn’t deny it now.

Lady Wang found this matter difficult.

She knew her nephew well, his demeanor showed he liked Pei Yu undoubtedly. If he hadn’t been handicapped, Lady Wang believed he and Pei Yu might have been together.

But now, Wang Ming was handicapped.

What type of person was Pei Yu? She’s now a famous singer across the country, stunningly beautiful. She could have any kind of man she wanted. Saying frankly, Pei Yu was not short of money or fame; why would she settle for an invalid?

Lady Wang sighed inwardly, ”Alright, got it. I’ll talk with Treasure Bead another day, if she wants to stay in the Provincial City, I’ll find her another job.”

Pei Yu drove back to the village.

When she drove the car back, the whole Xiaxi Village came out to see the car.

After parking the car in the garage at home, Pei Yu handed the key to Anning, ”This is for you, part of the dowry.”

Anning accepted the key with a smile, ”Thank you, Aunt.”

As they were talking, Xiao Erguang and Du Chunzhi arrived.

They came with Xiao Yuan, on a visit to deliver a bride price to the Pei Family.

Pei Laoshi quickly invited them inside, and once seated, Xiao Erguang spoke, ”Originally, the bride price should have been delivered earlier, but you know, Xiao Yuan is an honest child, he wants to sincerely marry Anning, and this bride price is the most crucial part. He has been raising money, now he finally scraped enough, and hurried to deliver it.”

As he spoke, Xiao Erguang handed Pei Laoshi a bank book.

Pei Laoshi took it and looked—it showed 880,000 RMB.

He accepted it with a smile, ”Don’t worry, we won’t let Xiao Yuan suffer. The bride price won’t be split. We’ll add some money to make it a lucky number, and we’ll match with a dowry of 1.66 million.”

Xiao Erguang was almost shocked to numbness, ”What a blessing, after the children get married, they won’t worry about anything.”

After Xiao Erguang and the others left, Pei Laoshi told An Xian and Anjing, ”Don’t be jealous. When you got married, our family wasn’t in such a position; even selling your mother and me wouldn’t have raised such money. But it’s different now, the family’s better off; most of this is Anning’s earning, it’s natural to give her more dowry.”

An Xian rolled her eyes, ”Dad, are we so petty? Not talking about Lao Si; when Third gets married, even with more dowry you give, we and Second won’t complain, we aren’t short of money now. We bought several houses, and have shops in the Provincial City and county. We have money, no worries for food and drink, why fight for so little?”
