The Cannon Fodder in Quick Transmigration Refuses the Usual Path

Chapter 541: Cannon Fodder Dragging an Extra in the ’50s (20)

Unexpectedly, this marriage came about faster and more smoothly than An Ning had imagined.

In August, as the major middle schools gradually began their long holidays, the entrance to the alley was particularly lively.

After Ms. Wei's continuous feeding over several days, before An Ning could even finish her first round of reviewing the high school textbooks, the Locust Blossom Alley entrance of the machinery factory became the site of yet another juicy piece of gossip that had everyone talking.

And it was still related to that Miss Meng, who, the moment she emerged, had firmly occupied the top spot on Locust Blossom Alley's trending topics.

What! That dim-witted eldest daughter of Director Meng's family, who just finished her reform-through-labor, was already having a "secret rendezvous" with someone, and they were even caught right at the mouth of a lane!

It's said that when everyone caught them, the two were still pulling and tugging at the alley entrance, and their clothes were even torn in several places!

Even Ms. Wei, who occasionally went out and was forced to listen to a bellyful of gossip, couldn't help but come back and vent to the family:

"I always thought that girl had something wrong with her brain, and sure enough, she does!"

"And it's not a minor issue either!"

Happily tidying her newly styled hair, Wei Qiao couldn't help but quietly complain to her two daughters.Even if she's nothing special, she's still the biological daughter of a director, and the family assets aren't small. Even if she's had a broken engagement, and with that previous criminal record, so what?

Not to mention the talented young men in the factory, at the very least, there are still some decent-looking young fellows and youths, right?

But that guy surnamed Chen? He's already in his twenties, only became a team leader by clinging to the former deputy factory manager, and I hear he's about to be kicked out of that position soon too.

And someone like that, this Miss can actually take a liking to him?

And "honest"? Tsk, after this incident, just ask who would still think he's honest.

Ms. Wei couldn't help but click her tongue lightly:

"This silly girl, could it be she was set up?"

An Ning, who had already gotten the latest scoop from the system: "..."

Don't say it, but it really is true. Ms. Wei has good eyesight.

It seems there are quite a few clear-sighted people!

The course of events has to start with the gigolo mentioned by this Miss Meng from her previous life.

Zhou Yan Cheng is this man's full name.

Speaking of which, this man surnamed Zhou is also quite a character. No, he should be called a truly ruthless character. Orphaned from a young age, even the family house was taken over by his paternal uncle's family, while he, the legitimate owner, became the "outsider" living under someone else's roof.

Not to mention eating one meal and starving the next, even the money for school was earned by himself picking through garbage, plus with a glib tongue that moved a teacher at the school, who then sponsored him.

Even so, he still properly graduated from high school.

What's important is that when he was thirteen, his uncle's two younger sons, one accidentally fell into a ditch, and the other accidentally broke his leg. Just when he turned fifteen, his paternal uncle got into a conflict while drunk, had his head bashed in, and ultimately lost his life.

Logically speaking, with so many incidents happening, someone should have been suspicious.

But every time something happened, this guy was either studying at the teacher's place or hanging out with friends. In short, his alibis were exceptionally perfect.

His persona was just like his face, appearing utterly innocent and pure.

Over time, it became accepted that this family had committed too many sins and were suffering retribution. Some even swore that perhaps it was his deceased parents, unable to bear seeing their son bullied like this, who turned into ghosts to return to the human world for revenge!

Thus, the moment this Second Uncle Zhou passed away, that Second Aunt didn't dare delay for a second, immediately moving out of the compound with her remaining son without stopping.

In less than ten years, the enemies' family was either dead or gone, and he beautifully reclaimed his own courtyard.

Tsk, An Ning couldn't help but sigh.

Such a ruthless person, no wonder in the previous life he almost single-handedly swallowed the entire Old Meng family whole.

You have to understand, to reach the position of deputy factory manager in one's forties, both ability and backing are absolutely indispensable. Didn't you see, even Manager Yang, with his considerable connections and ability, had to proceed cautiously and take over two years to bring this man down?

And that was only from deputy factory manager to director.

It's truly incredible. Even though An Ning still disliked this Miss Meng, she also felt that to encounter such a ruthless person, lacking neither intelligence nor cruelty, on her first flutter of romantic feelings... this girl's luck really wasn't great.

Probably in her previous life, Deputy Factory Manager Meng's adamant refusal, aside from the engagement, also had this aspect as a reason! He really was a cunning individual after all.

Whether truly innocent or falsely kind-hearted, it naturally couldn't escape the eyes of this father who doted on his daughter.

But obviously, given this Zhou's level of holding grudges, he clearly had this family marked down.

Oh, I forgot to mention, in this lifetime, this Zhou Yan Cheng, Accountant Zhou, is no less formidable.

Thinking of this Miss's earlier words "gigolo," dripping with contempt, and the inexplicable breakup before, one can imagine how deep the hatred in this Zhou's heart must be, given his grudge-holding nature!

Thus, the moment he made a move, it was a vicious blow.

For example, at this moment, in the Meng family.

It was as if overnight, Meng Guo Zhu's already aged face had aged even more. In his forties, several strands of white hair had already appeared on his head.

Yet the Miss Meng before him seemed not to notice at all, still throwing a tantrum desperately, insisting over and over that it was a misunderstanding, that she had no such intentions at all.

"No intentions, no intentions! You've been getting so close to that man, not caring about anything all day! No intentions, yet you were pulling and tugging with him!"

This was the first time since his wife's death that he had shouted at his daughter. Looking at the disbelief in the eyes of the person before him, at this moment, Meng Guo Zhu only felt a deep exhaustion.

"Still 'Brother A Jin'? I'm telling you, that young man from the Yu family got married last year, and it was even arranged by the old senior leader himself!"

"And it has absolutely nothing to do with your sister!"

Meng Guo Zhu truly didn't know what was going on in his daughter's head all day.

Yes, he admitted, earlier, to maintain that military connection, he had thought about having Peng Peng marry over. But who made his daughter cause such a huge scandal?

Not to mention the awkwardness of switching the marriage partner, which family would want a notorious, reformed-through-labor elder sister-in-law?

"No, I... I..."

Meng Yu's face flushed red, as if she wanted to explain, or perhaps to act unreasonably as she had before. Unfortunately, no matter how close the relationship, it couldn't withstand such repeated turmoil, especially when what was destroyed earlier included his own career prospects.

Too lazy to listen to his daughter's nonsense any longer. In the main hall, Meng Guo Zhu waved his hand and spoke directly:

"Don't worry, the dowry that's rightfully yours, your father will give you every last cent!"

"As for this home in the future, you'd better come back less!"

"Dad!" As expected, as soon as his words fell, Meng Yu's shrill cry came from behind.

Clearly, even at this moment, even though her memories were somewhat fuzzy, Miss Meng still believed her father wouldn't abandon her.

However, unfortunately, upon hearing the sound, Meng Guo Zhu's footsteps did pause for a moment. But thinking of the relentless mockery in his ears lately, his implicated wife and two children, the strange looks from everyone, and now, in such a short time, the entire home that felt as silent as death...

And this daughter before him, who was almost unrecognizable.

This time, Meng Guo Zhu's footsteps did not hesitate in the slightest.

Even after her father's figure completely disappeared from sight, Meng Yu still couldn't react.

Why? In her previous life, even when she had nearly caused the family's ruin, even when her body was mostly ruined and she was carrying the child of an enemy...

On his deathbed, her father still struggled, seeking help everywhere, begging those old friends, begging Manager Yang, begging that burden, even her stepmother, to look after her more in the future.

Was it because she married the wrong person?

But in her later life, didn't she also remarry Chen Fu Sheng?

Perhaps the hope of becoming a general's wife was completely shattered, or perhaps thinking of how well Chen Fu Sheng had truly treated her in her previous life—not only risking his life to save her from the water but also being considerate in almost everything, thoughtful in every way. Even that child, he treated as his own.

After making a huge fuss for a long time with no result, Meng Yu finally settled down.

Forget it. After all, Fu Sheng is still a good person. With his temperament, if in the future, after things settle down, she finds someone better, he probably wouldn't stop her.

During a study break, An Ning, who had just eaten this part of the melon: "!!!"
