The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 814 - 795: I Am Not a Slut

Xiao Tiantian was all too familiar with the name Jiang Anning.

Back when she was with the Gu family, she specifically targeted Jiang Anning.

Later, she even tried to have someone assault Jiang Anning.

All she could think about was how to destroy Jiang Anning.

But she never imagined that Jiang Anning was so resilient; she was intelligent and capable. No matter how hard things got for her in the company, she always excelled at her work and even signed several big contracts for the company.

Once, taking advantage of Jiang Anning being drunk, she planned to have someone insult her in an alley, but Jiang Anning managed to avoid it.

Later, Jiang Anning resigned, and when Xiao Tiantian tried to investigate her, she found nothing.

She didn’t dare to get too close to Jiang Anning, and could only grit her teeth in hatred, often cursing Jiang Anning with ill fate.

Afterward, Xiao Tiantian was fired by the Gu family, and finding another good job became especially difficult for her.

She didn’t have high qualifications, nor was she competent at work. Relying on her looks, she found a receptionist job in a small company, but due to her bad temper, she was fired soon after.

With little money in her hands, unable to pay her rent when it expired, she had no choice but to move back home.

Her family’s financial status wasn’t very good either, just an ordinary household. Her parents both worked but didn’t earn much, so she couldn’t even freeload at home.

Cornered, Xiao Tiantian had no choice but to take on odd jobs here and there to earn money.

She dreamt of striking it rich and landing a good job.

Recently, her mother used some connections to get her a temporary job at Qi’s Hotel.

With the May Day holidays approaching, weddings were particularly abundant during this period, and naturally, the hotel was very busy. Whether it was the front-line service staff or the kitchen staff, there weren’t enough people. They wanted to hire some temporary workers. Though temporary, the pay was quite substantial.

Xiao Tiantian didn’t want to go, but her mother insisted, leaving her with no choice.

To her surprise, on her third day working at Qi’s Hotel, she saw Jiang Anning.

Jiang Anning was married? And the groom was an unheard-of man, not even a Mr. Nobody.

Xiao Yuan, she had never heard of that name.

Xiao Tiantian thought, judging by the Jiang family’s background, Jiang Anning probably couldn’t find a good man, just some poor fellow out of nowhere.

She finished her fruit and continued prepping vegetables while pondering.

She thought about the book’s content and wondered whether Jiang Anning not marrying Gu Kai meant there was still a chance for her to marry into a wealthy family.

Xiao Tiantian was a Book Transmigrator.

She had previously read a romance novel where the female protagonist was Jiang Anning, and the male lead was Gu Kai.

Gu Kai was a rather unique male lead. After turning eighteen, he gained a double, which was a very mundane little cat.

Gu Kai was the richest man in City N, coming from a wealthy family. He was handsome and capable, but because of many troublesome family matters and an unreliable mother, Gu Kai had a cold and indifferent heart, and he kept his distance in all his relationships.

Until one day, a woman named Jiang Anning joined the Gu Group.

Jiang Anning was seductively beautiful, looking every bit like a demon, which made Gu Kai dislike her. He instinctively believed Jiang Anning was a gold digger, using her looks to associate with the rich and powerful.

This prejudice led him to frequently make things difficult for Jiang Anning.

But Jiang Anning was a top graduate with exceptional abilities. Not only did she excel at her work, but she also helped Gu Group secure several major contracts. After witnessing her competencies, Gu Kai transferred her to be his secretary, though he still considered her a gold digger.

At that time, Gu Kai’s double encountered danger, and Jiang Anning ended up bringing it home.

As his double spent days with Jiang Anning, it gradually understood the kind of person she was. He learned about Jiang Anning’s kindness and resilience, her gentle and courteous nature, and slowly he fell in love with her.

Afterward, Gu Kai began pursuing Jiang Anning, shielding her from many risks, and assisting the Jiang family numerous times, ultimately winning her heart.

After reading this novel, Xiao Tiantian became infatuated with Gu Kai.

She fantasized about how wonderful it would be if she were the protagonist, having a man pamper her; what happiness that would be.

In the book, Gu Kai treated others with cold disdain but showered Jiang Anning with warmth and indulgence, seemingly reserving all his passion for her.

Xiao Tiantian desired such a relationship, and even more so, she wanted the Gu family’s luxurious lifestyle.

Little did she expect that, after falling asleep, she would transmigrate into the book.

Upon arriving, she rushed to the place where Gu Kai’s double encountered danger in the story, staying there for several days, and finally picked up Gu Kai’s double.

She made a deliberate effort to appear kind and virtuous in front of that cat.

Sure enough, when she applied for a job at the Gu Group, she was selected and entered the secretarial office.

Once there, she carefully looked out for any woman named Jiang Anning in the company.

And she really did find one.

After locating Jiang Anning, Xiao Tiantian resorted to all sorts of scheming.

She couldn’t tolerate the original female protagonist from the book.

She feared that if the female lead remained at the Gu Group, Gu Kai would fall for her. Wanting to be the protagonist herself, she naturally wished for the original protagonist to completely disappear or at least suffer a great misfortune.

However, Xiao Tiantian never anticipated that, no matter how much she schemed, Jiang Anning always managed just fine.

After preparing the dishes, Xiao Tiantian, during a restroom break, pondered how to again attempt encountering Gu Kai.

Unable to devise a plan, she came out of the restroom and woodenly headed back to the kitchen. At a corner, she overheard two front-line service staff talking.

"We haven’t heard of any Xiao family in City N, right? What’s the groom’s background today?"

"Who knows? Anyway, he’s someone way out of our league."

Hearing this, Xiao Tiantian stopped in her tracks.

She was perplexed about how Xiao Yuan was different from her imaginations. From the conversation, it seemed Xiao Yuan’s family was particularly prominent.

"Did you see how many luxury cars are parked in the hotel’s front lot? It seems all notable figures from City N are here: the president of Qi’s, the young master of Wang Food, the CEO of Xinke Electronics... Even the city’s top official is here; the groom must be someone significant."

"When the groom and bride got out of the car, I took a glance. Oh my, such celestial appearances! The groom looked like an immortal from heaven, and the bride was breathtakingly beautiful, the type that... if I were a king, I’d gladly give everything up for her."

"They’re truly blessed, so good-looking and wealthy. Why don’t we have this kind of fortune?"

Listening to this, Xiao Tiantian felt as if she was walking on air.

She bit her lip, not daring to make a sound.

If not for being in the hotel, she would’ve screamed in rage.

She wanted to question whether being the protagonist guaranteed a good life, whether the protagonist’s halo was indeed that strong.

Jiang Anning lost one Gu Kai yet could still find another man no lesser than Gu Kai. Why was that?
