The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 637 - 625: My Daughter Is a Vicious Supporting Female Character 25

The Zhou Family’s headquarters is located in the Capital.

Now, Zhou Zhenhua works there.

In the office building’s top floor, the whole level is the CEO’s office.

Zhou Zhenhua stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down at the scenery of the Capital.

Behind him, his secretary cautiously reports: "The eldest son of the Xiao Family has sent Miss Zou all the designer clothes, and Mr. Jiang has bought that store as a gift for Miss Zou."

Zhou Zhenhua suddenly turns around, his eyes and brows revealing a depth of thought.

He understands what Jiang Shaohui is thinking.

They grew up together from childhood, the most familiar companions to each other, and to this day Jiang Shaohui still can’t let go of Anning, he certainly still harbors intentions to pursue her.

Thus, making his presence felt around Zou Jingjing seems quite necessary.

But what exactly is Xiao Yuan thinking?

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Zhenhua figured it was similar to Jiang Shaohui’s intentions; he too thought that Xiao Yuan might have taken a liking to Zou Jingjing.

There is also a photo of Zou Jingjing on Zhou Zhenhua’s desk.

In the picture, Zou Jingjing smiles brightly, brimming with youthful vitality, almost bursting forth from the photo itself.

This girl resembles Anning when she was young, back then Anning was just as beautiful, from middle school to university, countless boys secretly worshipped Anning as a goddess.

And now Zou Jingjing probably also attracts a lot of attention.

Thinking this, Zhou Zhenhua pounds his fist on the desk.

Over the years, he hadn’t concerned himself with Zou Jingjing, because he couldn’t get past a certain emotional barrier and thus ignored the child.

But now that he’s decided to take charge, he can’t let the child suffer.

If Jiang Shaohui could buy a store for Zou Jingjing, he can’t let Jiang Shaohui outdo him.

Being uncles both, he wants Jingjing to know that her younger uncle is more affectionate than her elder uncle.

"Go, acquire that brand and give it to Jingjing."

Zhou Zhenhua spoke, his voice carrying a hint of coldness: "My child cannot be ridiculed for being poor, I, Zhou Zhenhua, have lived all these years, I might not surpass others in everything, but when it comes to wealth, I have never been outdone."

The secretary was somewhat speechless.

He really envies that little girl named Zou Jingjing.

Why isn’t there anyone to spend a fortune just to win his favor?

Xiao Nana was sent back home by Xiao Yuan.

She seemed extremely aggrieved, after staying home for a while, Xiao Nana felt she should complain to someone.

She changed her clothes and went to the Xiao Family’s home.

It just so happened that Xiao Kai was at home, when Xiao Nana saw Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Kai, she called out with teary eyes and a face full of grievance: "Auntie, Second Cousin."

"What happened?"

Mrs. Xiao saw that Xiao Nana’s eyes were red and it was obvious that she had just cried, so she quickly pulled her to sit down and asked with concern, "Who has mistreated you?"

Xiao Nana wiped her tears: "No, no one."

Seeing her hesitant and stammering appearance, she definitely felt aggrieved.

Xiao Kai thought about how Xiao Nana and Xiao Xuanxuan usually got along very well, and she had always been supportive of him, so he asked with concern, "What exactly happened? Can’t you even talk about it in front of your own family?"

Then Xiao Nana, while wiping her tears, said: "I, I don’t know why I upset my cousin. Today when I went out to buy clothes, I ran into Zou Jingjing. I liked the same outfit that Zou Jingjing liked, but I liked it too, so we argued for a bit, and then my cousin saw us..."

Xiao Nana exaggerated the day’s events: "Auntie, I really don’t know what’s wrong with my cousin. I’m his sister, and what relationship does he have with Zou Jingjing? Yet, he didn’t side with me, and even, even bought all the clothes in the shop for Zou Jingjing. And not just clothes, he also had bags and shoes matched for her. It’s too much."

"What did you say?"

Xiao Kai was very shocked: "Say that again."

Xiao Nana repeated: "For Zou Jingjing, my cousin even scolded me, saying I was making a fool of myself. How was I making a fool of myself?"

Mrs. Xiao’s face also became stern.

Xiao Kai looked even more displeased.

He clenched his fists, gritting his teeth in anger, "No wonder, the other day I noticed Zou Jingjing was getting too arrogant, and I wanted someone to put her in her place. I called and asked the deputy general to suppress her endorsement a bit, but right after that my brother called them, and not only did he not suppress her, but he also got her many great resources from the company. I thought my brother was against me, but now I understand that he might have other ideas."

"What do you mean?"

Mrs. Xiao began to ponder.

Xiao Kai nodded, "Brother might have feelings for Zou Jingjing."

Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a moment, then she consoled Xiao Nana, "Nana, you go back first, your aunt knows about this, and when your brother comes back, I’ll scold him."

After Mrs. Xiao said this, it was not appropriate for Xiao Nana to stay any longer, so she promptly got up to leave.

After Xiao Nana left, Mrs. Xiao held onto Xiao Kai: "Second son, if your brother truly has ideas, you must not cause trouble. Your brother hasn’t fancied any girl for all these years, and now with his leg broken, he’s even more removed from desires. I’ve always worried he might end up alone. Now that he finally has his heart moved, if you disrupt it, I’ll break your legs."

Xiao Kai was anxious.

"Mom, that can’t be right. If brother has something with Zou Jingjing, how can I explain it to Xuanxuan? It’s important for brother to get a wife, but isn’t it important for me too?"

Xiao Kai was truly anxious.

If Xiao Yuan married Zou Jingjing, Xiao Kai and Xiao Xuanxuan definitely couldn’t be together.

Because in the Xiao family tradition, brothers never married sisters.

Mrs. Xiao just laughed, "That actually makes sense, but let me tell you, it’s most urgent for your brother to get married. After all, your brother is older and now disabled, it’s not easy for him to find a wife. Now that he finally likes someone, we shouldn’t ruin it for him. It’s different for you, you’re young, and you have no problems with your legs; there are plenty of good girls who want to marry you, there’s no need to be fixated on Zou Xuexuan. Anyway, you’re not lacking in women, so as your mother, I have to prioritize your brother."

"That can’t be."

Xiao Kai became even more anxious, suddenly standing up: "Mom, you can’t be biased."

Mrs. Xiao’s eyebrows shot up: "How am I being biased? Is it wrong for me to care a bit more about him in his current state? Second son, let me tell you, our family doesn’t have sibling disputes over inheritance. No matter what, he’s still your brother, you must respect and yield to him. Have you forgotten when you were a kid and got kidnapped, it was your brother who risked his life to save you? He even took a bullet for you; if not for your brother, would you still be alive?"

Mrs. Xiao’s bringing up the past suddenly deflated Xiao Kai’s anger.
