Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

The team leader from the housekeeping company also heard the commotion and quickly rushed over.

She was startled when she saw the scene before her.

"Qi Ning, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to be careful?"

"I'm sorry, I just accidentally slipped my hand..."

The team leader gave her a disapproving look and quickly apologized to Yang Ma.

"I'm so sorry, she's new here and clumsy."

"newcomer?"

"Yes, we're short-staffed lately, so we hired a batch of new people. Don't worry, I'll fire her as soon as I get back, and she'll make her pay the compensation she owes."

The team leader grabbed Qi Ning and said coldly, "Go back now, you're done!"

Pei Mo returned from his grandparents' house and had just stepped into the courtyard when he heard the sound of porcelain shattering.

When he entered the living room and saw the scene before him, he recognized a familiar figure.

Qi Ning was still apologizing with red eyes when suddenly, a clear male voice came from the entrance of the hall.

"what happened?"

Everyone in the living room looked over.

Yang Ma's expression changed, and she softened her tone: "Amo, you're back. The people from that housekeeping company broke a vase."

Qi Ning also looked up.

This was the first time she had seen Pei Mo's face since she transmigrated. It was a very delicate face with deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly thin lips, giving him an overall aloof and cold feeling.

This face is just as good as Wen Xuheng's.

However, she only glanced at it before lowering her head again.

Pei Mo naturally recognized Qi Ning. He walked over and asked directly, "What are you doing here?"

"I..." Qi Ning lowered her head, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.

Yang's mother immediately realized: "Amo, you two know each other?"

Pei Mo replied, "My classmate."

"Oh, so you're a classmate."

Pei Mo glanced at the shards on the ground.

"It's just an ordinary vase, it's broken, so be it. You can go back to your work."

He said to Yang Ma and the team leader.

"Okay, okay," Yang Ma replied quickly. "Then you two chat."

After saying that, she pulled the team leader away, leaving Pei Mo and Qi Ning alone in the large, empty living room.

"Thank you," Qi Ning said timidly.

Pei Mo looked at Qi Ning's domestic worker attire and saw that she was still looking down, her face pale with fright. He said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Qi Ning immediately replied, "I... I'm working part-time. This is my first day at work, so..."

"Part-time job?" Pei Mo asked in surprise, "A part-time job at this time?"

Pei Mo didn't know Qi Ning's family situation, but it was the time of their senior year of high school, the most important time for ordinary students. Even if a normal family had part-time jobs, they wouldn't do so at this critical juncture, right?

"Hmm." Qi Ning nodded slightly, looking somewhat timid.

Seeing that he was genuinely short of money, Pei Mo stopped asking questions.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Qi Ning say again, "Pei Mo, I didn't know this was your home. Luckily you spoke up for me. I will compensate for this vase."

"It's just a vase that's not worth much money, you don't need to pay for it."

“This…” she hesitated for a moment, “I’d better pay for it, otherwise I’ll feel bad about it.”

Pei Mo was silent for a moment: "Whatever you want, you can pay if you want."

Qi Ning gripped the hem of her dress tightly. She looked up and said cautiously, "I don't have that much money right now. It might take some time."

Pei Mo could understand; it wasn't worth much money to him, but it probably wasn't cheap for Qi Ning.

He repeated his previous statement: "Whatever you say."

Seeing that Pei Mo had agreed, Qi Ning seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Pei Mo."

Pei Mo didn't care about her thanks. He thought she was done, but to his surprise, she paused and said, "And last Friday, thank you for getting me out of that situation."

Last Friday?

Pei Mo thought about it carefully before he understood what Qi Ning was talking about.

"You're overthinking it. I really had something to talk to the teacher about at the time, not to help you out of a tight spot."

He went to talk to his homeroom teacher about studying abroad.

Qi Ning knew this, of course, but that didn't stop her from using it to get closer to him.

Her face looked even more embarrassed.

"I know, I know you didn't do it on purpose, but you did happen to help me by calling Teacher Zheng away, so I still want to thank you."

They've been sitting at the same table for so long, and this is the first time Pei Mo has heard Qi Ning say so much.

He chuckled inexplicably after hearing that.

Pei Mo stared at her for a while, then suddenly said something out of the blue:

"If you don't stand up for yourself, no one can help you."

His tone was blatantly disdainful.

After saying that, he ignored Qi Ning and went straight upstairs.

Qi Ning watched his figure disappear before squatting down to pick up the broken pieces of the vase.

Pei Mo didn't come downstairs again until Qi Ning and the others finished cleaning and left together.

On the way back, the team leader asked Qi Ning to sit next to her.

"You little girl, you're quite lucky to know the owner of this house."

"Team leader, you..."

The team leader knew what Qi Ning wanted to ask: "The employer spoke up for you, saying it's not your fault, and you've already negotiated compensation privately. Since that's the case, let's pretend this never happened. However, there will absolutely be no next time."

Qi Ning's lips curled up slightly: "So, you're saying you won't fire me, and I can continue to work part-time at the company?"

"Hmm," the team leader responded, then added, "You were so quick and efficient during training, how come you keep making mistakes as soon as you come out here?"

Qi Ning explained, "I'm not usually like this. I was just too nervous today. This is my first time cleaning such a big villa."

“That’s true.” The team leader agreed wholeheartedly. “It’s normal for ordinary people to be nervous when they go to a place like that for the first time.”

The matter was thus dropped.

Qi Ning was exhausted after a day of hard labor, so she went home and fell asleep as soon as she got home.

The next day was Monday, and she went to school early again.

She had only been there a short time when Wen Xuheng arrived as well.

"Ningning, you're here so early. Why didn't you wait for me to come together?"

Over the weekend, Wen Xuheng spent all his time tutoring Han Yuxin, in addition to studying at home. He didn't even have time to check on Qi Ning's injuries.

Qi Ning looked up at him and asked, "Didn't your uncle or aunt bring you here?"

Wen Xuheng's parents valued him highly and would personally pick him up from and drop him off at school whenever they had time.

When Wen Xuheng was in elementary and junior high school, if his parents were unable to take him to school due to other commitments, he would go with Qi Ning.

But since he started high school, his parents have been even stricter with him, picking him up and dropping him off almost every day.

In addition, Wen Xuheng's parents felt that their family had now climbed the ladder to success by relying on the Han family, and were no longer ordinary people. Naturally, they looked down on the Qi family and no longer allowed Wen Xuheng to have too much contact with Qi Ning.
