The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 799 - 780: I Am Not a Slut 91

Anning and the others didn’t wait long before they left.

Anyway, sitting here doing nothing, without eating or drinking, who would want to keep starving?

When they were leaving, they ran into Wu Xixi.

Anning was quite surprised: "Aren’t you waiting to help out?"

Wu Xixi waved her hand: "I can’t wait anymore, I’m almost starving. Besides, I don’t get along with my cousin, why should I starve to help him? I need to find something to eat first."

Anning was also planning to eat first, so she asked Wu Xixi: "Do you want to join us?"

Wu Xixi nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes."

So, the five of them found a nearby restaurant and had a big meal.

After eating, Anning sent Wu Xixi back before heading home.

After returning, Mrs. Jiang talked a lot to Mr. Jiang about this wedding: "Liu Fang’s mom spoke so highly of it, but the wedding turned out to be a disgrace."

Mr. Jiang said: "The Wus are not honest. They must have promised something and talked it up, but only on the wedding day did we find out what was really going on. Liu Fang was deceived this time."

Exactly.

If you don’t have the capability, why make such big claims? Such people are unreliable and can’t be dealt with.

Anyway, both Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang didn’t think highly of Liu Fang’s marriage.

Regardless of Liu Fang’s family situation, life still has to go on day by day.

The Jiang family’s restaurant business was getting better, and the relationship between An Nan and Wei Jiaming was deepening.

Mr. Wei found a time to arrange a banquet, met with Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, and settled the marriage between An Nan and Wei Jiaming.

After the Lunar New Year, by the end of February, Xiao Yuan finally got his plant Nutrient Liquid ready.

He first made some to take home, used it for the fruit trees on the mountain, and also in his own vegetable garden and wheat field.

Additionally, when Xiao Yuan returned home, he taught Mr. Xiao and Mother Xiao how to grow rouge rice, and used the Nutrient Liquid for the rice seedlings as well.

Before he left, he left a lot of it at home.

The Nutrient Liquid he made only required a drop for each tree, which would grow exceptionally well for a year, and if used for vegetables, it needed to be diluted; anyway, all the fields and mountains leased by the Xiao family could be watered with just a little.

However, Xiao Yuan instructed his father that this Nutrient Liquid should only be used for their own family and not given to others.

Besides bringing the Nutrient Liquid home, Xiao Yuan also went home to prepare for his wedding.

By the end of February, the Gregorian calendar was already April, and in less than a month, it would be his and Anning’s wedding day, and everything must be arranged at home.

Mr. Xiao and Mother Xiao had started preparing Xiao Yuan’s wedding room since the Lunar New Year.

The family’s house was outdated, so they couldn’t demolish and rebuild it in time; they just finished one room for Anning and Xiao Yuan to stay in during their wedding days, while the other rooms were just cleaned up.

Mr. Xiao planned to quickly build a house after Xiao Yuan’s wedding, hoping to move into a new house by the Spring Festival.

Xiao Yuan stayed at home for a few days and when he returned to N city, spring was in full bloom.

With the arrival of spring, it seemed like days passed faster.

When Xiao Yuan went back to his hometown, the trees had just started sprouting, and by the time he returned, the leaves had grown significantly, and various flowers started to bloom competitively; it felt like the season had suddenly changed.

Anning went to pick up Xiao Yuan from the airport and when they got home, she told him, "Are you free tomorrow? Third is bringing her boyfriend home."

Huh?

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Third is bringing her boyfriend? How old is Third?"

Anning smiled: "No matter the age, when a young girl meets the right person, she is eager to marry, and nobody can do anything about it."

Xiao Yuan also laughed: "Is it someone surnamed Gu?"

Anning nodded.

"Alright, I’ll definitely come over tomorrow."

The next day, Xiao Yuan got up early, got ready, and took some specialties from his hometown to the Jiang family.

When he arrived, Wei Jiaming had already been there.

Carrying the items inside, Mr. Jiang saw him and laughed: "You’re here, why bring things with you?"

Xiao Yuan quickly replied: "These are specialties from my hometown, I brought them for Uncle to try, I’ll just put them in the storeroom first."

After placing the items, he sat down and talked with Mr. Jiang.

Wei Jiaming, wearing an apron and holding a mop, was mopping the floor, and while doing so, he spoke to Mrs. Jiang: "Auntie, please let me do the chores, you mustn’t tire yourself out."

Xiao Yuan looked at Wei Jiaming bustling around and touched his nose, "Uncle, shall we play chess?"

Mr. Jiang’s addiction to chess got the better of him, and the two moved the chessboard to the balcony to battle it out.

Anning chuckled secretly.

Wei Jiaming ground his teeth in anger, feeling that this brother-in-law was really too cunning.

While playing chess, Xiao Yuan spoke to Wei Jiaming, "Brother-in-law, Uncle Wei gave me all the herbal ingredients the other day, I’ve prepared the medicine, and tomorrow night you can bring Sister Jiahui to my home, we can start the treatment immediately."

At these words, all Wei Jiaming’s complaints dissipated.

"Okay, I will definitely bring my sister over tomorrow."

He mopped the floor, then hurried to the kitchen to help Mrs. Jiang with picking vegetables.

Wei Jiaming kept busy ingratiating himself with his mother-in-law.

Being a son-in-law in the in-laws’ house, he certainly had to be diligent.

Around ten o’clock, Third finally arrived with her boyfriend.

When they entered, Anning paused for a moment, then pretended to be surprised, "President Gu, you and our Third..."

Gu Kai greeted Mr. and Mrs. Jiang with a smile, then spoke to Anning, "Hello, Second Sister, I’m An Ping’s boyfriend."

Anning sized up Third and then Gu Kai, "I really didn’t expect this."

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "You must be Xiao Gu, please sit, take a seat."

Gu Kai put down the things he brought and naturally took a seat on the sofa.

He didn’t wear a suit today; to match Third more, he wore jeans and a hoodie, making him look much younger.

Mr. Jiang no longer played chess, he sauntered over and sat down.

Now that he had opened his own restaurant, his way of talking and doing things had become much smoother.

He chatted with Gu Kai without being direct.

He wasn’t likely to directly ask about his job, where his family was from, whether they owned a house or car, how much was his monthly salary, what his educational level was.

He poured Gu Kai a cup of tea with a smile, "Xiao Gu, have some tea, this is tea that Xiao Yuan brought from his hometown, try and see how it tastes."

Gu Kai quickly picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "This tea is very good. Is it grown by your brother-in-law’s family? If there’s extra, could you spare me some?"

Xiao Yuan came over smiling. He found the title "brother-in-law" quite flattering but slightly awkward.

He thought to himself, what’s Gu Kai pretending for, an old cucumber painting itself green to look fresh.

After all, Gu Kai was older than Xiao Yuan, even older than Wei Jiaming.

He was nine years older than Third, who was only twenty-one, Gu Kai was already thirty, truly an older man.

Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "Xiao Yuan, sit down, let’s men have a chat."

Xiao Yuan just took a seat accordingly.

Mr. Jiang started a casual conversation with Gu Kai, "I’ve heard about you from Third a few times, saying that you take good care of her, you seem to be about the same age as our Second, you’d definitely have more experiences than Third, and handle things more thoroughly. Our Third is quite hasty, doesn’t handle things properly, must have caused you trouble, right?"

Gu Kai quickly replied, "No trouble, Pingping is quite good. I’m much older than her, taking care of her is natural."

Mr. Jiang then smiled, "Our Third is still young, still studying, surely not in a hurry to get married, what are your thoughts?"

This was asking Gu Kai whether he was in a rush to get married, and what his family’s views were.

Gu Kai then said, "I will follow Pingping’s wishes, whenever she wants to get married, I’ll respect her decisions, my family has no objections."

"That works."

Mr. Jiang nodded: "Family and parents are all fine? Please send them my regards."

This was inquiring about Gu Kai’s family background, his parents’ situation, and who all were in his family.

Gu Kai’s expression became slightly strained, "My parents divorced a long time ago, I live with my mom, and my dad has remarried..."

Mr. Jiang felt a bit displeased inside, but he didn’t show it on his face, and poured Gu Kai some more tea, "Is your home far from here, do you live with your mom?"

Gu Kai took a sip of tea, "I live alone, not far from here, at Lijing Tiancheng, I live there for work convenience, my mom lives at Fengjiang Villa, but she doesn’t stay there much, usually she’s out travelling, seldom comes back."

Mr. Jiang understood that Gu Kai and his mom rarely saw each other, probably not having a good relationship with his parents.

"Then your days must be quite lonely, come over anytime when you’re free, we have a lively household here."

"Yes."

Gu Kai hurriedly said, "Living alone, working busy, I usually don’t even cook, it’s indeed quite lonely; after meeting Pingping, life became much more lively."

He didn’t want Mr. Jiang to keep beating around the bush, so he straightforwardly said, "Second Sister probably knows about my situation in detail, and, I’ve also informed my mom about Pingping and me, she always stays out of my business, she won’t meddle in my love life, even less in matters of marriage."
