The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 806 - 787: I’m Not a Slut 98 (Bonus for 500 Monthly Tickets)

Wei Jiaming waited at the bun shop.

He waited until An Nan had tidied up and the shop was closed before accompanying her on the way back.

He drove An Nan not back to the Xiao Family home, but to an amusement park.

An Nan entered hand in hand with Wei Jiaming, looking at everything with curiosity: "Why did you bring me here?"

Wei Jiaming smiled: "I just wanted to spend more time with you."

The two of them went to the Ferris wheel, where Wei Jiaming bought tickets and took An Nan inside.

As their seat gradually rose, Wei Jiaming held An Nan: "Nannan, it’s really great to have you here."

An Nan paused for a moment, then patted Wei Jiaming’s back: "What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?"

Wei Jiaming held An Nan for quite a while before letting go.

An Nan noticed that his eyes were a bit red.

"What’s going on? Did you have a fight with someone?"

Wei Jiaming took a deep breath, forced a somewhat reluctant smile: "No, didn’t fight. It’s just that, suddenly, I feel really tired. My mom... sometimes I wonder if my sister and I are really her children. How can a mother be like that?"

An Nan realized that Mrs. Wei must have done something to upset Wei Jiaming again.

"Don’t let it bother you so much. As long as we have a clear conscience, that’s enough."

Wei Jiaming nodded. He wanted to smoke, but it wasn’t the right environment, so he suppressed the urge.

An Nan took a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to Wei Jiaming.

Wei Jiaming put the candy in his mouth, and his heart suddenly felt at ease.

He looked at An Nan, his voice low: "My mom called and told me to take my sister to meet a prospective marriage partner. Do you know who she found for my sister?"

An Nan shook her head.

Wei Jiaming laughed at himself: "I know the guy she mentioned. That family... they’re almost just like my mom. Back when the area was redeveloped, they got two apartments and some money. At that time, commercial properties weren’t as expensive as they are now, so they used the money to buy some. The whole family just lives off the rental income, a pretty good life. But do you know how they live? They won’t renovate their house, afraid to spend money. The clothes they wear are bought wholesale, the kind that cost tens of yuan apiece. They don’t pay attention to what they eat either."

An Nan was quite surprised. She thought Mrs. Wei was the only miser in the world, but it turns out she has kindred spirits. No wonder she wanted Jia Hui to meet this family.

"They had a daughter-in-law before. What happened? After she came into their family, they were stingy with her. Even when the daughter-in-law spent her own money, they had things to say. Later, when she got pregnant, they made her quit her job. She left her job for the child, and that’s when the hard times started. She had no say over what to eat or wear. The food was poor, and when her belly started showing, she was still wearing her mother-in-law’s old clothes, not allowed to buy maternity wear. The daughter-in-law couldn’t stand it and eventually terminated the pregnancy at over five months, then pushed for a divorce."

An Nan’s eyes were wide open: "How can they be like that? She was five months pregnant, how could they not care about the child?"

"They thought they could control her. They assumed she wouldn’t dare abort the child, but she was very rational. Compared to a lifetime of hardship, she knew what to choose."

Wei Jiaming gave a bitter smile: "And to think my mom wants my sister to marry into such a family. Moreover, the son had a car accident and lost a leg, so he’s a cripple now. Even Aunt Shen wouldn’t let my sister marry there, but my mom... she’s our birth mother after all. Even though my sister’s been home these years, Dad and I never let her suffer. She’s had the best food and clothes. How could I let her jump into a fire pit?"

An Nan felt really sorry for Wei Jiaming.

Even putting aside the fact that Mrs. Wei is her real mom, as Wei Jiahui’s future sister-in-law, An Nan couldn’t bear to see Jia Hui marry into such a family.

"Don’t be sad."

An Nan hugged Wei Jiaming and softly comforted him: "Maybe you and she just lack fate. If you don’t agree, and Uncle Wei doesn’t agree, there’s nothing she can do. At worst, let Jia Hui see less of her. Besides, in just half a year Jia Hui will be fine, and then it’ll be out of her control."

"I know."

Wei Jiaming understood everything in his heart, but now he felt completely disheartened.

"This is the last time I’ll be sad over her. In the future, I won’t be upset because of her again."

Wei Jiaming held An Nan’s hand: "Let’s do well in the future, we must be happy."

His voice trembled as he said this, showing how much this incident still upset him.

"Alright."

An Nan smiled.

Wei Jiaming originally thought that refusing his mother would be the end of it.

However, he didn’t expect that in a moment of neglect, his mom would take Wei Jiahui away.

When he and An Nan returned from the amusement park, they didn’t go home but headed to the Shen Family instead.

As he entered the door without changing his shoes, he saw Shen Feng ready to go out: "Aunt Shen, where are you going?"

Shen Feng replied urgently: "Jia Hui said she wanted to go for a walk while I was cooking. I let her walk around the neighborhood, but I finished cooking and she still didn’t come back. I called her, but her phone is off, so I need to go look for her."

Wei Jiaming’s heart skipped a beat.

"I’ll go with you."

He helped Shen Feng lock the door, and the two of them hurried downstairs.

Downstairs, they split up to ask around.

There were still a few elderly people chatting in the neighborhood.

Wei Jiaming ran over to ask: "Grandpa, Grandma, did you see my sister?"

Wei Jiahui often stayed there, so the neighborhood seniors knew her.

"A woman called her earlier, she called the woman ’mom,’ then she followed her away," said an old lady.

Wei Jiaming immediately understood what was happening.

He quickly called Shen Feng: "Aunt Shen, my mom took my sister away. You don’t have to worry about this, I’ll call my dad."

"Alright."

Upon hearing that Mrs. Wei took Jia Hui away, Shen Feng wasn’t worried anymore.

In Shen Feng’s heart, she was still her real mom, surely she wouldn’t harm her own daughter.

But Wei Jiaming wasn’t at ease at all.

He quickly called Mr. Wei while running toward the car.

He drove hurriedly back, and Mr. Wei rushed back after receiving the call too.

Wei Jiaming always had a sense of unease, unsure what his mom might do to harm Jia Hui.

Wei Jiaming and Mr. Wei arrived home almost simultaneously.

As soon as they got home, Wei Jiaming took his keys out to open the door.

However, he discovered that Mrs. Wei had changed the lock, and his keys couldn’t open the door.

Mr. Wei was sweating, he pushed Wei Jiaming aside, and somehow found a wire to quickly open the door.

Wei Jiaming was amazed, not expecting his dad could unlock a door besides butchering pigs.

But he didn’t have time to ask.

When the door opened, and they walked in, seeing the scene inside, both of them couldn’t help but feel murderous rage.
