The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 790 - 772: I’m Not a Slut 83

Third returned home and didn’t say anything.

She wasn’t taken advantage of, nor injured, and neither Mr. Jiang nor Mrs. Jiang noticed anything amiss.

Third, however, held Xiao Hua and whispered a lot of words in her room.

Eldest’s bun shop has opened, and she is quite busy every day, but after dinner she always video chats with Wei Jiaming. Whatever they talk about, they always seem to have endless conversations.

Eldest told Wei Jiaming about everything Anning had said, suggesting that Wei Jiaming takes his sister to see Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan and Anning’s matter was set in stone; even the wedding date was fixed. He’s going to be Jiang family’s son-in-law, and since Mr. Jiang has already accepted Wei Jiaming, he’ll be in-laws with Xiao Yuan in the future. Since Anning had mentioned it, there was nothing embarrassing for him.

To have Xiao Yuan treat Wei Jiahui, there was no need to go to the hospital; they could just go directly to Xiao Yuan’s house.

After cutting off contact with Eldest, Wei Jiaming called Xiao Yuan to ask when he would be available for a visit.

Xiao Yuan naturally understood Wei Jiaming’s intention, and told him to come over tomorrow since he didn’t need to go to the hospital in the morning, and invited Wei Family to come directly.

Once the call ended, Wei Jiaming began rummaging through his house.

He doesn’t live with his mom anymore and doesn’t like to cook at home, so naturally, there isn’t much at his place.

After looking around for a while, he couldn’t find any suitable gifts to bring, and regardless of the hour, he drove to Shen Feng’s place.

Now that Mr. Wei and Wei Jiahui are living at Shen Feng’s place, Wei Jiaming is comfortable going there without needing to inform in advance.

He drove there, and upon reaching the door, he didn’t even need to ring the bell, just took out his key and opened the door.

Shen Feng and Mr. Wei had just finished dinner and were sitting on the sofa discussing when they heard some noise from the door. Startled for a moment, they saw Wei Jiaming coming in and Mr. Wei asked, "Why are you here?"

Wei Jiaming pocketed his keys and plopped down on the sofa: "Where’s my sister?"

Shen Feng smiled, "She’s playing with Song Song in the room."

Speaking of Wei Jiahui and Shen Song, the two girls really have a good relationship.

When Wei Jiahui started living with Shen Feng, Song Song was only five or six years old. The little girl had suffered a lot with her mother, had been shy and timid. After Wei Jiahui moved in, she’d follow her around all day, and with a playmate, the little girl gradually became more outgoing.

Additionally, there was an incident where Shen Feng took Wei Jiahui and Shen Song out for a trip. She went to buy snacks for the kids, but in a blink, they disappeared.

Shen Feng panicked, crying, shouting, and searching around.

In the end, they found the kids.

Turned out, a kidnapper had tried to take Shen Song, which made Wei Jiahui panic.

Wei Jiahui might be slow to react, but she wasn’t completely clueless.

At that time, she knew Shen Song was her little sister and couldn’t be taken away by a stranger. The young girl heroically chased the kidnapper for a while, hitting, biting, and pinching, buying time for Shen Feng.

For this reason, Shen Feng could be grateful to Wei Jiahui for a lifetime.

Shen Song has a good memory and will always remember this incident, she certainly doesn’t look down on Wei Jiahui.

She knows how to feel grateful and understands the rationale, knowing that Wei Jiahui essentially saved her life. For the rest of her life, she owes Wei Jiahui, no matter how others look down on her, she cannot.

Also because of this reason, Wei Jiaming feels more at ease leaving Wei Jiahui with Shen Feng than with his biological mother.

Shen Song, playing in the bedroom, also heard the noise.

She came out with Wei Jiahui.

Wei Jiahui was very happy to see Wei Jiaming, kept urging him to drink water, and offered him snacks.

After eating something, Wei Jiaming said to Mr. Wei, "Nannan’s brother-in-law is a doctor, Mr. Lu is his mentor, and he is especially good at medical treatment. I’ve spoken with him, asking him to take a look at my sister to see if there’s a chance she can be cured. The plan is to take her to his house to sit for a while tomorrow."

The implication was clear, to take Wei Jiahui to the Xiao’s tomorrow to get checked.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wei immediately said, "Go, stay here tonight, and take your sister there tomorrow. In a while, I’ll ask Aunt Shen to prepare some things, you must bring gifts when visiting, especially during the New Year when there are elders at home. As a younger generation, you can’t show up with light gifts."

Even if they weren’t seeking medical help, the marriage between the two families was settled, and they would be relatives in the future. With parents living at Xiao’s, they should not go empty-handed.

Shen Feng hastily fetched a lot of things from the storage room, "Take these with you tomorrow, and also bring some products from our own factory."

Wei Jiaming agreed and turned to Shen Song with a smile, asking, "How’s your job going, Song Song?"

Shen Song replied with a smile, "Pretty good, I’m just a new employee, definitely have to start with the basics, it’s a bit tiring, but I’m learning a lot."

"That’s good, if you encounter any difficulties, remember to speak up, our family is not without resources."

Wei Jiaming’s face showed concern for Shen Song.

No matter what he truly thought inside, saying this made Shen Feng and Shen Song feel at ease.

The group didn’t talk much, and it was getting late, so after sitting for a while, they each retired to their rooms to sleep.

On the tenth day, Anning went to the Xiao’s to try on clothes.

On the eighth day, Xiao Yufeng had the sample ready, and Anning had tried it on and had it altered. This time it was supposed to be a trial fitting, but there shouldn’t be major adjustments, perhaps she could just wear it and leave.

Nonetheless, Anning made her way to Xiao Yuan’s house early.

She didn’t go empty-handed,

Of course, she didn’t bring anything too valuable, just some homemade pickles and snacks to take along.

It was a coincidence that when Anning arrived, she ran into Wei Jiaming and Wei Jiahui.

Wei Jiaming was carrying things, and Wei Jiahui was also holding some items.

Following by Wei Jiaming’s side, she was neatly dressed and looked quite gentle and delicate. At first glance, she seemed like a fine young lady, without any apparent issues.

Anning greeted Wei Jiaming with a smile, and the three of them arrived at Xiao Yuan’s house door together.

Xiao Yuan was clearly waiting, and hearing footsteps at the door, he came to open it.

Upon opening the door and seeing three guests, he promptly smiled and welcomed them inside.

As soon as Wei Jiaming entered, he greeted Mr. Xiao and Mother Xiao, set down the gifts, and without saying much, led Wei Jiahui into the study with Xiao Yuan.

Anning went straight to Xiao Yufeng’s room to try on clothes.

Xiao Yufeng had finished the Qipao last night, and Anning liked it at first sight upon entering the room.

How should it be said, Xiao Yufeng’s craftsmanship was truly excellent. She made the Qipao quite beautiful. Since the Qipao was plain colored, Xiao Yufeng used bright red traditional Chinese frog buttons and the beading work was especially delicate and pretty, particularly around the waist where she added some decorations. Wearing it, Anning’s waist looked exceptionally slender.

After trying it on and looking in the mirror, Anning gave Xiao Yufeng a thumbs up: "Sis, your skills are truly unparalleled."

Xiao Yufeng blushed slightly at the praise: "As long as it fits you well, that’s great. If you want to make something else in the future, just tell me. I can’t help much with other things, but needlework is still doable."

"Alright then."

Anning had it on and it fit everywhere, so she didn’t take it off.

However, she didn’t sit down either. Mainly because the Qipao was really form-fitting and the fabric used was of the satin kind that would wrinkle if sat on for too long, which could look less attractive.

Anning, having tried on the clothes, went to the living room with Xiao Yufeng.

She stood by the sofa talking to Mother Xiao.

Seeing her standing there in high heels, Mother Xiao felt tired on her behalf: "Don’t just stand, sit down quickly."

Xiao Yufeng laughed, explaining while sitting next to Mother Xiao that Anning didn’t dare sit down, fearing the clothes would look bad after sitting.

Mother Xiao was quite sympathetic towards Anning, she said: "Why choose such troublesome clothes to wear, and such high heels too. Just watching you makes me feel tired."

Anning asked with a smile: "So, do you think it looks good?"

Anning was really beautiful, and wearing the Qipao made her even more stunning. Even Mother Xiao, an older lady, was amazed, her heart pounding: "It looks good, but it’s just too tiring."

"Looks good, that’s enough." Anning leaned on the sofa’s backrest, chatting with Mother Xiao: "I’ll make one for you too someday, let’s wear mother-daughter matching dresses out, I guarantee we’ll turn every head."

Mother Xiao waved her hand: "I can’t wear that."

After a few words with Mother Xiao, Anning went to the study to find Xiao Yuan.

Over there, Xiao Yuan had already finished taking Wei Jiahui’s pulse.

He told Wei Jiaming directly: "Sister Jiahui’s condition can be treated."

With those words, Wei Jiaming’s tears fell on the spot.

He had shouldered the psychological burden for so many years, because of his sister’s illness, he never had a single good day. In the quiet of the night, whenever he thought of how his bright sister became foolish because of him, he couldn’t sleep, feeling an agonizing pain in his heart.

"As long as it can be treated, it’s good," Wei Jiaming said, "however it’s treated, just say the word, no matter the cost, cure my sister."

Anning stepped in, saw this scene, saw Wei Jiaming in tears, and she withdrew.

Wei Jiaming was so good to his sister, Anning didn’t find it surprising, instead, she felt reassured for An Nan.

Nowadays, some girls are afraid of their boyfriends being close to their mothers and sisters, constantly criticizing them for being ’foolishly pious’.

But one must also think about it from another perspective. If a man isn’t even filial to his mother, if he doesn’t care for the siblings he grew up with, how much affection can he really hold for his wife?

Don’t just say that love conquers all.

Love is so unpredictable.

Today he loves you, who knows what tomorrow might bring.

If he can neglect the mother who raised him, is this really the type of man you dare to marry?

Today he would do anything for you, but what about tomorrow? Could he harm you for another woman?

To be honest, when choosing a man, it’s not about whether he’s filial to his mother or kind to his sisters, the key is whether he can see things clearly. As long as he’s level-headed and can distinguish right from wrong, being with such a person is actually secure, and life can go on no matter what.
