The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 805 - 786: I’m Not a Slut 97

The Third and Ms. Gu were having a good time here when they suddenly saw Gu Kai.

Startled, she quickly let go of Ms. Gu, and with a very ladylike manner, she straightened her slightly wrinkled knitted jacket, then gently cleared her throat: "Kai Zhi, you’re back."

Her voice was sweet and gentle beyond words.

Gu Kai knew exactly what kind of person the Third was. He could hear her chatting and joking with her rowdy friends many nights and had already seen through her.

"Yes, I’m back."

He changed his shoes and entered the house: "Did someone come by just now?"

The Third said nothing.

Ms. Gu walked over with a smile, taking Gu Kai’s arm: "Son, you’re finally back. Just now your uncle and the others came to make trouble, and thanks to Pingping, I didn’t suffer. You don’t know how amazing Pingping was."

While she continued to chatter on, the Third’s face flushed with embarrassment: "I...I was just afraid Auntie would suffer a loss, so...I was actually very scared."

Gu Kai, who knew the Third could handle ten adult men alone, didn’t believe she was scared.

However, he didn’t expose her.

"I’m sorry for the scare."

He held the Third with one hand and helped Ms. Gu sit down with the other: "I’ll notify the security in the neighborhood to list them as disallowed visitors, so they won’t be able to come in again."

Ms. Gu quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, make sure to tell them early."

She then pulled the Third along with a smile: "Pingping, you must have been frightened too, come, let sister show you something nice to ease your nerves."

She took the Third upstairs to her collection room.

There, Ms. Gu had collected many things she liked: limited edition bags, various precious jewelry, and quite a number of antiques.

She picked an entire set of diamond jewelry and handed it to the Third: "Take it."

The Third accepted it without hesitation.

Ms. Gu looked at the Third’s outfit, then picked a red jade bracelet and put it on her wrist: "This looks nice on you."

After visiting Ms. Gu’s collection, the Third indeed gained a lot.

If it were earlier, the Third would feel these things were too precious and dare not take them.

However, she had seen Xiao Yuan give Anning many precious pieces of jewelry from time to time and had long been accustomed to it, with no psychological burden at all when taking them.

The Third was particularly confident at this moment.

Gu Kai had already told the Third about the enormous value of the microbial batteries Anning developed, and the future astonishing status of the one percent share she held. With grains in hand, she had no anxiety in her heart; she accepted Ms. Gu’s gifts, for she could afford to return them without fear.

When the two came downstairs, Gu Kai had already asked the nanny to prepare dinner in the kitchen.

He was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

Ms. Gu and the Third turned on the television.

Coincidentally, a TV drama was airing, and it was a cop-and-robber show filled with tough guys, captivating Ms. Gu at once.

She patted the Third’s shoulder excitedly: "Isn’t that villain handsome? My goodness, how can someone be so handsome."

The Third, a bit drowsy, nodded: "He’s very handsome."

Gu Kai folded the newspaper, turned to look at the Third, his eyes carrying a warning.

The Third quickly corrected herself: "Handsome, yes, but not as handsome as Kai Zhi. Kai Zhi is the most handsome."

Gu Kai nodded, appearing quite satisfied, and continued reading the newspaper.

Ms. Gu watched for a while and then turned to Gu Kai: "Sonny, can you check out the information about the actor playing the villain and see if he’s married? What do you think, can mom keep him as a lover?"

The Third was drinking water and immediately choked upon hearing this.

Gu Kai quickly moved over to pat the Third’s back, looking rather unhappy with Ms. Gu: "Mom, can you be more careful? You scared Pingping."

The Third hastily waved her hands: "No, no, I just choked on my drink."

"Oh, I...I’ll pay more attention in the future."

Ms. Gu lowered her head, playing with her index finger.

The Third looked at Ms. Gu, then at Gu Kai, and thought to herself: So this is how things are in your family. The mother and son interact like this, and the mother even asks the son to keep a lover for her. It’s really...indescribable.

However, she really felt sorry for Gu Kai.

He constantly has to worry about so many things.

With so much going on at the company, he still can’t have peace at home. The Gu and Pang families constantly cause trouble, and Ms. Gu can’t be of much help. He has to protect his mother. Moreover, although Ms. Gu is a kind and straightforward person, she’s completely a love-struck fool, and Gu Kai still has to help her find a man. What kind of life is this?

Xiao Yuan had Shen Feng take Wei Jiahui to have a medicinal bath, and after coming out, he started performing acupuncture on her.

This was already the third acupuncture session. Xiao Yuan used a gold needle, carefully guiding it to draw out the blood clots from Wei Jiahui’s brain.

Wei Jiahui sat still, not daring to move. After about ten minutes, a drop of dark blood dripped from her nose.

Soon after, another drop came out.

Wei Jiaming watched nervously on the side.

He clenched his fists, not daring to make a sound.

This time, when about ten drops of blood came out of her nose, Xiao Yuan ended the acupuncture session.

"The effect is very good. Just a few more sessions and all the accumulated blood will be cleared," Xiao Yuan said with a smile, "then we’ll focus on revitalizing her energy."

Wei Jiaming’s face also broke into a smile as he clenched his fists.

Xiao Yuan wrote a prescription: "Take this medicine according to the instructions, once every three days. Also, pay attention to guiding her; it’s best to gradually teach her some basic knowledge during this time."

This meant that Wei Jiahui was gradually improving, and they could guide her studies based on her condition.

Even Shen Feng smiled this time: "Thank you, Dr. Xiao, for our Jia Hui..."

Tears fell from her eyes: "I’m so happy that Jia Hui can recover."

Wei Jiahui turned to Shen Feng and touched her face gently: "Don’t cry."

Shen Feng smiled: "Okay, I won’t cry. We won’t cry; we’re happy."

Wei Jiaming thanked Xiao Yuan, then drove Shen Feng and Wei Jiahui back home.

Midway, he received a call from Mrs. Wei.

"Mom, is there something you need?"

Mrs. Wei seemed quite happy: "Jiaming, can you bring Jiahui back tomorrow? I found a good match for her. He’s really nice, and I thought they could meet."

"What kind of match?"

By this point, Wei Jiaming was already a bit angry.

"His family used to live near us before the demolition, and afterwards, they also got two apartments from it. He’s an only child. He was married before, but divorced within a year without kids. Now he’s in his thirties. Earlier this year, he got into a car accident and lost a leg..."

Mrs. Wei went on about how good the man was: "He said he could use a prosthetic and his mobility wouldn’t be impacted. He’s genuinely smart. It’s just that with a disability, it’s hard to find a bride. And he understands your sister, while she’s a bit slow, it’s not congenital. It wouldn’t affect future generations, so he thought of pairing them up..."

Wei Jiaming’s face had turned completely dark: "Mom, my sister won’t be going on any blind dates. Let go of this idea. She’ll be with me, and I’ll take care of her for life. Please don’t interfere with our affairs anymore."

After saying this, Wei Jiaming hung up the phone.

Shen Feng heard the conversation, but she didn’t say anything.

Wei Jiaming felt deeply troubled, and after dropping Shen Feng and Wei Jiahui back home, he called Mr. Wei: "Dad, if Mom calls you to bring my sister back, don’t agree. She’s in a crucial phase of her treatment and can’t withstand any stress. If you’re not busy, try to stay home more during this time..."
