The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

The thoughts of Xiao Yuan and Anning were roughly the same.

He added a few more words: "I think the possibility of Sun Hong being a Book Transmigrator is higher. We checked his information before; he went out once in his teens, and it’s possible he transmigrated then. After transmigrating, he followed the book’s instructions to take the ancestral items of the Xiao Family. Later, he used the Xiao Family’s treasures to become a Heavenly Master."

Anning nodded: "Very likely. He also knows that Xiao Lu is the Chosen One, this world’s female protagonist. He’s afraid that if Xiao Lu stays in the Xiao Family, she might also become a Heavenly Master and compete with him for treasures. So he was always watching. When Xiao Lu was born, he swapped Xiao Lu with Yilin, who was born at the same time."

Speaking of this, Anning shook her head again: "He might not have just wanted to swap children; he might have wanted to kill Xiao Lu or something. But the treasures left by the Xiao Family in his hands stopped him. He didn’t dare to kill Xiao Lu, so he placed a sealing on her and switched her to the upstart Zhang Family, wanting to cut off her path to becoming a Heavenly Master."

With this explanation, everything made sense, and it was reasonable.

Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment: "When I went to the Capital, the treasure in his hand sensed the Xiao Family’s bloodline, possibly wanting to escape his control. That’s why he hurriedly ran away."

The two of them thought through it from beginning to end again and felt that the possibility they discussed was the most likely.

Xiao Yuan said solemnly: "If he truly holds something from the Xiao Family, then I must find a way to retrieve it. The Xiao Family’s treasures cannot fall into the hands of outsiders, and the treasures should belong to Xiao Lu."

"First, improve our cultivation."

Anning reached out and touched Xiao Yuan’s face through the screen: "Let’s quickly intensify our training; with higher cultivation, we can do whatever we want. LuLu has good talent; you should teach her well. Without the Xiao Family’s Daoist Book, do you think what we’ve learned is inferior to the Xiao Family? Let’s compile a cultivation technique for Xiao Lu to practice for now."

That is indeed the case.

The items passed down from the Xiao Family’s ancestors might be profound or treasures to others.

But they were nothing to Anning and Xiao Yuan.

Both had been Saints in the Primordial times, capable of conversing equally with the Heavenly Dao. Their understanding of natural laws and the great Dao far surpassed that of the strange man from the Xiao Family’s ancestors. Any cultivation technique they casually put forward would be top-level in this world.

Xiao Yuan laughed when he saw Anning standing up for Xiao Lu: "Without the Xiao Family’s Daoist Book, we’ll give her a more advanced one. If the treasure of the Xiao Family can’t be retrieved, we’ll refine a better one for her."

"Yes, as the Heavenly Dao’s daughter, she must have the best setup," Anning also laughed: "At that time, we will equip LuLu from head to toe and let her directly fight Sun Hong, rubbing him on the ground, letting him know that taking others’ things isn’t so easy."

Imagining that scene, both Anning and Xiao Yuan found it very amusing.

Anning relaxed entirely, leaning on the bed, chatting with Xiao Yuan with a smile until both of them felt a bit sleepy, and Anning finally hung up the phone.

When she came out of the bedroom, the children had already finished their homework and gone back to their rooms to sleep.

Anning checked each room, saw that the children were sleeping soundly, and then went back to take a shower and sleep.

Xie Family

He Xiaohong went out today to play mahjong with people and didn’t come back until very late.

Her husband, Sun He Ping, is often away from home, and he doesn’t like coming to the Xie Family. Even if He Xiaohong returns to her maternal home, he stays at his own home, so he didn’t come to the Xie Family.

Meanwhile, He Xiaohong’s second son, Sun Fu, returned almost at the same time as her.

As soon as the mother and son entered the door, they saw the living room lit up, and the whole family was there, as if they were waiting for them on purpose.

He Xiaohong, seeing the Old Madam and the old man sitting solemnly on the sofa, was startled.

Her first reaction was to turn and ask Sun Fu: "What trouble did you cause again?"

Sun Fu shook his head: "I didn’t cause any trouble. I was very honest when I went out today."

He Xiaohong then put on a smiling face and sat next to the Old Madam: "Mom, why aren’t you asleep yet? Is something wrong?"

Usually, when the Old Madam saw He Xiaohong, she would be extremely happy and would definitely chat and laugh with her, but today she was cold-faced: "Don’t call me mom."

"What’s going on?"

He Xiaohong looked at the old man: "Dad, did my He Ping or Xiao Fu cause trouble again?"

The old man also had a stern face, ignoring He Xiaohong, and looked towards Xie Xu.

Xie Xu understood, he coughed and said to He Xiaohong: "I ask you, where is my real sister?"

"What?"

He Xiaohong was taken aback: "What real sister? What’s wrong with you? Aren’t I your real sister? Where is the sister you’re talking about?"

"Heh."

Xie Xu sneered: "Stop pretending. We all know the truth now."

"Know what?"

He Xiaohong was even more confused: "Little brother, what’s wrong with you? What stimulated you?"

Seeing He Xiaohong’s appearance, she seemed unaware that she wasn’t the daughter of the Xie Family. Xie Xu was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath: "Xiao Kun met my real sister this time when he went out. She looks exactly like my mom. Xiao Kun specifically took her hair and did a DNA test with dad and mom, and also redid your paternity test with dad and mom. The result showed that you have no blood relationship with our family at all."

His words turned He Xiaohong’s face pale instantly.

Sun Fu shouted in surprise: "Impossible, my mom did a paternity test back then."

"You’ll have to ask your brother about that."

Xie Dong stood up and took out the test results to show them: "Your brother knows about all these things. He tampered with it all those years ago, fooling our Xie Family for over a decade."

Xie Dong spoke more and more agitatedly: "He Xiaohong, you know He Dahong, right?"

He Xiaohong’s face turned ashen, scared and anxious, her eyes flickered, not daring to meet Xie Dong’s gaze.

Xie Dong laughed in anger: "Apparently, you know in your heart that you aren’t the daughter of the Xie Family, but He Dahong is. After all, she grew up in your He Family. How could you not recognize her appearance? You’ve seen mom’s pictures when she was young. Anyone with a bit of sense should know that you aren’t mom’s daughter, not from the Xie Family, but He Dahong is. Yet you knew it in your heart and pretended to be confused. You knowingly had nothing to do with the Xie Family and still allowed your family to cause trouble repeatedly, disturbing our Xie Family’s peace. Don’t you feel guilty, He Xiaohong?"

Xie Liang, leaning on the sofa, coldly said: "Not at all. If she felt guilty, she wouldn’t have impersonated our sister in the first place."

He Xiaohong’s legs went weak as she sat on the ground: "I didn’t know, I really didn’t know. I thought—I thought I was from your family. All these were Sun Hong’s doing. If you want to blame someone, blame him. It has nothing to do with me..."

Sun Fu was also scared, barely managing to stand: "I didn’t know either, I truly didn’t know. Blame my brother. Go find him, find him."

The old man shook his head, full of disappointment: "Heh, indeed, we shouldn’t have expected anything from your moral character. He Xiaohong, Sun Fu, today I have already called all of Xie Family’s relatives and told them about this. Also, I have arranged for He Xiaohong to be removed from the Xie Family’s household registration. From this day on, you have nothing to do with the Xie Family."

The Old Madam waved her hand: "Leave."

"I..."

He Xiaohong scrambled over to the Old Madam and hugged her leg, starting to cry: "Mom, you can’t kick me out. Even if I’m not your biological daughter, doesn’t more than ten years of mother-daughter relationship count for anything? Mom, can’t the dignified Xie Family raise one more daughter? I promise I won’t compete with He Dahong; I’ll behave and never cause trouble again. Mom, don’t drive me away, mom..."

The Old Madam looked at He Xiaohong, her gaze icy.

What mother-daughter relationship? If it wasn’t because He Xiaohong was a daughter of the Xie Family before, and the Old Madam felt she owed her, how could she have let her cause so much trouble? He Xiaohong’s repeated antics had long exhausted any mother-daughter relationship.

Fearing He Xiaohong might harm the Old Madam, Xie Xu stepped forward, pulled her away, and roughly pushed her towards the door: "Go away, our Xie Family doesn’t welcome you. Hah, after cheating our whole family, and your eldest son cursing us to death, now you dare talk about relationships? What relationship do we have with you?"

Xie Zhao and Xiao Kun pulled Sun Fu and pushed him towards the door.

After kicking them out of the house, Xie Xu called the security and told them never to let He Xiaohong’s family in again. He also instructed them to find more people to expel He Xiaohong and Sun Fu from the community.
