The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 611 - 600: The Stepmother Who Refuses to Be a Stepping Stone 88

Wang Baozhu died in the Psychiatric Hospital.

After going mad, she was causing chaos in prison every day. Later, after an assessment, it was confirmed that she was indeed mad, and she was sent to the Psychiatric Hospital.

Wang Baozhu stayed in the Psychiatric Hospital for two years, and during a walk outside, she fell from a building and died.

By this time, Li Jingyu and Li Jingyan were both married.

Li Jingyu’s husband was the son of a good friend that Anning made in the Capital.

It wasn’t an arranged marriage. The good friend’s eldest and second son had quite an age gap; the eldest’s daughter was already in high school while the second son was still unmarried. He met Li Jingyu when he went to pick up his niece. He fell in love with Li Jingyu at first sight, and after inquiring around, he found out she was Anning’s daughter. Then he arranged a matchmaker, and the two dated for a year before getting married.

Li Jingyan’s husband was her schoolmate, albeit a senior who was one year ahead of her. Since Li Jingyan’s enrollment, this senior had a fondness for her, but due to some other matters, they never made their feelings explicit.

Only when Li Jingyan stayed at the school to teach did the senior confess to her.

However, Li Jingyan had some reservations, as the family background of the senior was too prominent. Knowing the character of her biological parents, she was afraid his family would be unwilling to accept a girl from a home like hers, so she kept dragging her feet.

In any case, there were quite a few issues between the two, but in the end, they got together and had a rather good life.

After graduating, Li Jinghan became a diplomat. His career soared like wind and water, but he was somewhat indifferent to marriage until he was over thirty years old when he finally settled down.

Liu Qi and Liu Ming both married women in research, a match of like minds.

After graduating, Liu Yuzhen took over Anning’s company, fighting in the commercial battlefield and being called a little fox by the elders.

In the later years, Anning was somewhat unambitious, but once the company was handed over to Liu Yuzhen, the girl, full of vigor and energy, quickly led the company to take off. In less than two years, she restructured the company into a leading enterprise in the province, then she ventured into e-commerce platforms and invested in online new media. By the tenth year of the new century, she fiercely became the nation’s wealthiest person.

Liu Yuzhen was really good at business, but she just wouldn’t marry.

Anning didn’t press her.

Having traversed through so many worlds, Anning was more open-minded than any parent. Regarding the significant matter of her children’s marriage, she never urged them. If you told her you’d never marry in your life, she wouldn’t say anything; after all, life is for one to live. One should choose the way they want to live.

Liu Yuzhen didn’t marry, but she had quite a few boyfriends. She was beautiful with a seductive figure and a fiery temperament, plus the blessing of wealth. Who knows how many men were infatuated with her, even to the point of wanting to live and die for her.

Yet, Liu Yuzhen just couldn’t find someone who could truly move her heart.

It wasn’t until she was nearly forty that she met the man who stirred her heart.

Liu Yuzhen’s husband was a colleague of Liu Qi, as well as Liu Qi’s junior, a high-IQ, God of Study type of person.

He was cold by nature and handsome in appearance, a celebrated figure in the school days. After graduation, he entered a research institute and began leading major projects within a few years.

It is said that his IQ was extraordinarily high and he was very meticulous in his work, but strangely dull in the emotional department. He had never dated in college, and after starting work, he focused entirely on his career, showing indifference not just towards love but even familial affection.

But it was such a person who seemed to have an epiphany after meeting Liu Yuzhen.

He, a man so icy, underwent a kind of chemical reaction when he met Liu Yuzhen, turning passionately warm.

And it was precisely such a person that Liu Yuzhen liked. They dated for several years before Liu Yuzhen decided to settle down.

After all her children had settled down with their lifelong affairs, Anning began to lead a retired life.

She wasn’t the kind to stay at home eating and drinking all day and didn’t do things like other middle-aged women, such as dancing in the square or traveling. Instead, she actually started to learn new things.

After the age limit for the college entrance examination was lifted, Anning self-studied and was admitted to university. After several years in university, she began to delve into other fields.

She researched embroidery, and because her embroidery was so exquisite and beautiful, many people sought to buy it at high prices. Later, she studied calligraphy and painting, and her paintings were also eagerly collected by many.

In addition to that, she also studied culinary arts.

She was not short of money, nor did she have any intention to open a restaurant; rather, when she was free at home, she would cook a few dishes and invite a few close friends to taste.

Then gradually, her home became a gathering place for friends, and through this, she made many acquaintances from various outstanding professions.

She learned a lot from these people and, in her old age, Anning even tried investing in the film industry, producing several movies that were quite successful.

In her lifetime, Anning went from being a widow in the countryside to becoming a legendary figure.

The six children she raised were all formidable, top-notch individuals in their respective fields.

Besides, Anning maintained an excellent reputation throughout her life.

Whenever someone mentioned her, they would invariably give a thumbs-up praise, acclaiming her benevolence and capability.

Anning bid farewell to the elderly and watched as her children entered middle age, living vibrant lives, and she let herself age bit by bit.

After all, her body had sustained damage in her youth. In her old age, sickness struck, and Anning passed away at seventy.

As she was dying, she saw her children and grandchildren kneeling on the ground weeping, and she said with a smile, "Stop crying, why cry? While I was alive, you all were filial. I did whatever I wanted. When I die, no one is allowed to cry; you all must live happily. Don’t think of me and don’t be sad."

When she closed her eyes for the last time, she still saw the sorrowful faces around her.

Returning to the Nihility Space.

Anning saw Geng Anning quietly wiping away tears.

Geng Anning, upon her return, stood up to thank her: "Thank you so much. I...I never expected you to do so well, and moreover, you didn’t use any Golden Finger; you upheld my persona. I, I never realized that actually, those three children also held me dear in their hearts; they too didn’t want to let go of me. It’s just that, I didn’t understand before, and when I left..."

Thinking of this, Geng Anning was once again overcome with sadness.

Anning patted her shoulder: "They are all very happy in this life; you should be happy for them."

Geng Anning nodded deeply: "Yes, I am very happy. I am truly happy. Everyone is doing well, and those who did evil have met their retribution. Really... sometimes you don’t need to do anything to them, as long as you live well, they will destroy themselves. I understand this now."

Anning smiled: "Since your wishes have been fulfilled, it’s time for you to move on to your next life."

Geng Anning also smiled: "Alright."

She slowly began to fade away.

An Ding waved at her, and strands of Merit Power flowed into Geng Anning, ensuring her next life would be peaceful and joyful, a lifetime of Ankang.

After sending off Geng Anning, Anning cultivated for a long time, her Divine Soul becoming even more solid.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a woman with a Qing Ya appearance but covered in blood, standing not far from her.

"What do you want?"

Anning asked.

A flash of hatred and pain crossed the woman’s eyes: "I want Zou Dehuai to die a terrible death; I want Liu Yue Mei to live in torment..."

Suddenly, the woman’s body shuddered, and she changed her plea: "I want to suppress Liu Yue Mei. She constantly flaunts her noble family background, claiming to come from a noble lineage, degrading me for my vulgar origins, insulting my daughter in the same way. But I am the legitimate descendant of the Sheng Family, an heir to a thousand years of legacy. How can I be compared with a woman whose ancestors were peasants just three generations ago? I must uphold the honor of the Sheng Family; I cannot let my ancestors be shamed."

Anning examined this woman.

If not for her clothing, one would think she was an ancient person, yet she was clearly in modern attire.

What exactly was going on here?
