The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 641 - 628: My Daughter Is the Vicious Supporting Female Character 28 (Bonus for 200 Monthly Tickets)

He also watched the live stream these past two days and learned about the substantial wealth of Anning’s house; the collection alone in that Capital mansion was worth more than his company.

Moreover, it was said that the mansion in the Capital wasn’t even the ancestral home of the Sheng Family; their ancestral home was in Qinghe.

The treasures in that ancestral home were probably even more abundant.

Zou Huai De’s eyes turned red when he thought of this, red with envy.

He thought to himself, if he hadn’t killed Anning back then, all these things would have been his by now.

Would he still need to put so much effort into running his company? Would he still need to go out and socialize every day, putting on a show of smiles for everyone?

The connections of the Sheng Family were indeed substantial.

But regret was useless now, what’s done was done, there was no turning back.

Apart from regret, Zou Huai De was also a bit scared.

Because he knew what Anning was capable of.

He knew Sheng Anning was no easy foe; back then, it took him a great deal of effort to kill Anning, and he succeeded because Anning was unguarded. Otherwise...

Now that Anning was back alive, and it seemed that she might have had some extraordinary experiences over these years, he didn’t know how she would deal with him in the future.

Thinking that Anning certainly wouldn’t let him off easily, Zou Huai De grew even more frightened.

After being stunned for a while, he hurriedly rushed home.

He needed to think carefully, figure out a backup plan before Anning took action against him, to prepare for a possible comeback.

Also, Zou Huai De thought of urging Zou Xuexuan to get engaged to Xiao Kai soon.

If he became relatives with the Xiao Family, they wouldn’t ignore him if something happened.

Liu Yue Mei and Zou Xuexuan were also quite anxious at the moment.

Zou Xuexuan had just contacted Xiao Kai, but he hadn’t responded, which made her feel quite uneasy.

After knowing this, Liu Yue Mei consulted with Zou Xuexuan.

"Mr. Xiao loves famous calligraphy and paintings, especially those antique ones. I remember we just auctioned a peony painting not long ago; we could give it to Mr. Xiao, which will definitely earn you some face and favor."

Zou Xuexuan also thought this was a good idea.

She remembered there were some antique calligraphy and paintings at home.

Since Liu Yue Mei considered herself to have a good background, and her grandfather was a historian, both Liu Yue Mei and her father Liu Xuan favored antique calligraphy and paintings.

After marrying Zou Huai De, the couple, looking to elevate their taste and to have topics for social interactions, also bought quite a lot.

Thinking of her family’s collection, and how Sheng Jingjing also turned her image around because of a few antiques, Zou Xuexuan had some ideas.

She sweet-talked Liu Yue Mei for a while, and Liu Yue Mei agreed to take out some collections.

Zou Xuexuan chose a Moonlit Night Painting, took a photo from a good angle, and posted it on social media.

She also provided a description of the painting’s origins and its artist.

This Moonlit Night Painting was quite famous; it was created by a talented scholar from over eight hundred years ago, known in history as Yin Song.

Zou Xuexuan explained the history of the Moonlit Night Painting, and many fans liked it, praising the painting and commending Zou Xuexuan for her historical heritage.

Many were envious of Zou Xuexuan, constantly flattering her on social media.

Zou Xuexuan was quite proud of herself, thinking she had done the right thing.

But after about ten minutes, Zou Xuexuan couldn’t smile anymore.

Because Anning and Sheng Jingjing had retweeted her post, especially Anning, who commented that the painting was fake, not an authentic work of Yin Song.

Then, Zou Xuexuan’s fans got angry, went to Anning’s social media to make a fuss, demanding that Anning apologize to Zou Xuexuan, criticizing Anning for calling the painting fake without clear evidence as she hadn’t even seen Zou Xuexuan’s actual painting, only a photo, which they claimed was too arbitrary.

But what followed shocked many.

First, several social media influencers retweeted Anning’s post, supporting her judgment.

Moreover, Yue Haichang liked Anning’s post and made a comment.

If Ms. Sheng says the painting is fake, it must be fake.

This statement confused people even more.

In addition to Yue Haichang, several historians also liked the post, and a famous Peking Opera artist did as well.

This made netizens feel that the whole situation was bizarrely unfolding.

Zou Xuexuan’s fans kept defending her, incessantly demanding Anning to come forward and explain.

"Don’t think just because many people support you that we’re afraid to speak out, we stand with the truth, your actions are too arbitrary, please come forward to explain."

"Please explain."

"Don’t deny our Xuanxuan entirely just because of personal grievances; it’s not fair."

"We hope you can explain clearly."

Anning remained unresponsive throughout and appeared very calm.

Then, about an hour later, Sheng Jingjing posted on social media.

She made an explanation regarding the matter.

Sheng Jingjing’s post was a piece of text.

"Those familiar with history know Yin Song had a good friend named Sheng Lai, and historians should also know that Yin Song once painted a Moonlit Night Painting and immediately gifted it to his friend Sheng Lai, who is my ancestor. This painting has been preserved in my family and is still sealed in our family’s vault. So, where did Miss Zou’s Moonlit Night Painting come from? Is there any inheritance explanation? The reason why my mother decided that Miss Zou’s Moonlit Night Painting is fake is because the authentic one has always been in our home. I hope this clarifies things for everyone."

Besides this text, Sheng Jingjing seemed quite annoyed and added a few more sentences.

"Aside from the Moonlit Night Painting, our family owns other works by Yin Song; if anyone wants to challenge us, please reconsider and do not bring out fake paintings to make a fool of themselves."

Then...

Zou Xuexuan’s fans were utterly dumbfounded.

While the fans of Sheng Jingjing and Anning went wild online, flooding the internet with laughter and emojis, 2333.
