The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 793 - 775: I’m Not a Slut 86

Anning gave Gu Kai a look and thought to herself that this guy was really quite shrewd.

"I’m a bit tied up right now, so how about this: I’ll leave my mobile number with President Gu, and we can chat another time when I’m free."

Anning answered with a smile.

Gu Kai nodded, and his secretary quickly handed a business card to Anning, which had just a mobile number on it: "Please keep it well."

Anning received the card with a smile, then took out her phone from her bag and dialed the number on it.

Gu Kai’s phone rang twice, then Anning hung up.

Gu Kai glanced around the banquet hall: "What’s this about, Mr. Jiang...?"

Anning replied in a soft voice: "Classmate reunion."

Gu Kai showed understanding: "Then I won’t disturb Mr. Jiang anymore, we’ll talk some other day."

"Take care, President Gu."

Anning nodded elegantly.

As Gu Kai turned to leave, he waved at Anning: "No need for formalities, Mr. Jiang, just go about your business."

Anning thought to herself that she never intended to see him out anyway.

Anning and Gu Kai’s conversation, if it occurred at another time or if the speakers had different statuses, would have been very ordinary greetings.

But here, it was different.

After their brief exchange, all the classmates looked at her differently.

A classmate who normally didn’t get on very well with Gu Miao laughed and said, "Who was it that said Anning wants to marry into a rich family, trying to hook up with President Gu, only to be fired by the Gu family? But from what I see, the relationship between President Gu and Anning seems pretty good, not like what some people have been saying."

Other classmates asked Anning, "How do you know President Gu? What’s your relationship? Why does President Gu call you Mr. Jiang?"

Anning just laughed it off, "I started a small company, so people outside give me face by calling me Mr. Jiang. As for President Gu... as I mentioned earlier, my boyfriend is a doctor."

Ah, that makes sense; her boyfriend must be skilled in medicine, so naturally, a lot of people court him, and Anning is basking in her boyfriend’s glory.

Regardless of whose glory she was basking in, Anning seemed to have a good relationship with Gu Kai, so naturally, the classmates started to fawn over her.

Just as they were fawning over Gu Miao earlier, now they were even more enthusiastic towards Anning.

Anning chatted and laughed with the classmates that surrounded her, leaving Gu Miao feeling miserable off to the side.

She also hated Anning to the core, feeling that Anning had come just to discredit her.

While Anning was in the middle of a laugh, her phone rang.

She took it out of her bag and pressed the answer button, and Xiao Yuan’s voice came through: "Is the gathering over? Should I come pick you up?"

A classmate who overheard this teased her, "Anning, ask your boyfriend to come over; we want to meet him and check him out for you."

"Yes, let him come over; we’re all like your family here, we need to vet him well for you."

Anning then smiled, "Then, come over and pick me up."

Xiao Yuan arrived quite quickly; it hadn’t been ten minutes since Anning hung up the phone when he found his way to her.

When Gu Kai arrived earlier, he really put on quite a show, causing many female classmates’ hearts to flutter, but mostly because of Gu Kai’s power and wealth.

However, when Xiao Yuan showed up, nearly all the female classmates felt a touch of spring fever.

This was due to Xiao Yuan himself.

He was really too handsome.

Nowadays, many women love watching idol dramas, where the male leads and secondary male characters are impossibly handsome. They all watch with hearts in their eyes, calling them ’husband’, and these women are particularly fickle, changing ’husbands’ all the time; it’s almost like they get a new one with every hit idol drama.

But now, the women present couldn’t help thinking that those drama male leads and previous ’husbands’ didn’t count for much. If they could... have a relationship with this man, they would never have any thoughts of anyone else for a lifetime.

Everyone watched as Xiao Yuan walked over to Anning with a smile, then took her hand, "Your hands are so cold, remember to dress warmer next time."

He warmed Anning’s hand in his pocket right in front of everyone and greeted the group with a smile, "Hello everyone, I really appreciate your care for our Ningning just now."

The way he spoke was genuinely warm and polite, making everyone feel at ease.

Anning leaned against Xiao Yuan and said with a smile, "How did you get here so fast?"

Xiao Yuan smiled, his eyes filled with tenderness, "I never left; after I dropped you here, the car was still parked nearby. I was thinking about picking you up to go home early."

Anning rolled her eyes at Xiao Yuan, "Stop it, always sweet-talking me."

"It’s true."

Xiao Yuan replied very seriously, "I can’t bear to be apart from you even for a moment."

Anning’s classmates all got goosebumps and cried out in their hearts, this dog food was really too much to handle.

Xiao Yuan then half-embraced Anning, "If no one minds, I’ll take Ningning home now, and I’ll treat everyone to dinner some other day."

What else could people say?

Could they really stop these two from leaving?

They could only say, "Okay then, you guys go ahead, we still have to wait a while here. Um, don’t forget to help us out if we need it later."

Xiao Yuan smiled, "Of course, of course."

Those words were also ambiguous; someday, which day counts as someday? It was an indefinite promise.

Xiao Yuan walked Anning out, and before they reached the door, suddenly there was an outburst.

He looked back and saw a male classmate who might have had too much to drink or was feeling unwell, retching. He was clutching his stomach, sweating on his forehead.

A few classmates were surrounding him with concerned questions.

Xiao Yuan quickly went back and pressed a few points on the man, who then didn’t feel as much pain. After that, Xiao Yuan took his pulse.

Anning watched from the side, seeing Xiao Yuan’s expression getting more serious and knew that the male classmate’s health was probably not good.

Xiao Yuan took out a few silver needles and acupuncture the classmate. After a few minutes, the classmate felt much better and stopped retching; it seemed like his stomach pain was gone as well.

He stood up and thanked Xiao Yuan, "I feel much better, thank you."

Xiao Yuan withdrew the needles, "No need to thank me, it’s what I should do."

He put away the silver needles and looked at the classmate, "Your stomach might not be in good condition, I suspect... I suggest you get a thorough checkup at the hospital as soon as possible."

Lastly, Xiao Yuan added, "If you want treatment, come to the Medical University Hospital and look for me in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department. Just ask for Dr. Xiao."

After the reminder, Xiao Yuan left with Anning.

With her own medical skills, Anning couldn’t fail to notice.

Once they were in the car, Anning asked Xiao Yuan, "Ge Yangkun has stomach cancer, doesn’t he?"

Xiao Yuan nodded, "Yes, it’s troublesome but manageable. If he comes to me for treatment, it won’t worsen for ten or eight years. With that ten or eight years, I could develop several generations of cancer drugs."

That was true too.

Anning answered with a smile.
