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

Han Yuchen took out his phone and started typing rapidly.

"Didn't I tell you several times to prepare early? Why did you oversleep?"

"I'm telling you, you'd better hurry up and get ready to go out. Take a taxi to Shengyue Villa, and don't dawdle on the bus anymore."

"If you dare to be late, you're dead!"

……

Qi Ning was still lying in bed at the moment, looking at Han Yuchen's urging messages, but her heart was unmoved.

She simply put her phone on silent, tossed it aside, and rolled over to continue lying down.

People have been arriving one after another at the Shengyue Mountain Villa in the resort area.

To celebrate their beloved children's coming-of-age ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Han spent a fortune to book the entire Shengyue Villa.

There are no other guests at Shengyue Villa now, except for the Han siblings and their classmates, and only the service staff.

Inside the spacious and luxurious lobby, the students gathered in small groups, mostly discussing how wealthy the Han family was.

When the Han siblings and Wen Xuheng arrived, they all gathered around to offer their congratulations.

"Happy birthday, Yuxin and Yuchen!"

Han Yuxin, dressed in a beautiful dress and looking like a princess, smiled and thanked everyone, "Thank you all for coming to my and Yu Chen's birthday party."

As she spoke, she glanced at Han Yuchen beside her, but for some reason, he had a sour face and didn't say a word.

Helpless, Han Yuxin continued, "Everyone, please don't be shy, just relax and have fun. We'll start lunch at 11:00."

Upon hearing this, the crowd dispersed somewhat, with a small group wandering around to explore, but most remained around the Han siblings, keeping them company and talking to them.

Han Yuxin was mainly dealing with these people, while Han Yuchen sat alone on the side with a cold face, completely silent. Seeing his expression, no one dared to step forward.

As time passed, Han Yuchen's expression grew increasingly grim. He kept glancing at his phone; he had sent so many messages, yet Qi Ning hadn't replied to a single one.

"Fine," Han Yuchen thought through gritted teeth. "I hope Qi Ning is on her way now, otherwise I really won't let her off easily."

He had reminded her so many times before, and if she still dared to be late, it only meant that she didn't take his words to heart and didn't care about his birthday at all.

Wen Xuheng also glanced towards the door from time to time to see if Qi Ning had arrived.

Pei Mo arrived relatively late. Although he was rather aloof and didn't particularly enjoy playing with his classmates, he still had many people flattering him because of his outstanding family background and handsome appearance.

As soon as Pei Mo entered, many people greeted him, and Han Yuxin also stood up.

"Pei Mo, thank you for coming to our birthday party. I almost thought you weren't coming."

"How could that be?" Pei Mo smiled politely and handed over the box. "A birthday present."

Han Yuxin quickly took it: "Please sit wherever you like, Pei Mo."

Pei Mo responded, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he glanced around the crowd.

After looking around, Pei Mo couldn't find Qi Ning. Could it be that she hadn't arrived yet?

It shouldn't be.

Han Yuchen takes this birthday party very seriously, and Qi Ning shouldn't upset him before the college entrance exam.

Pei Mo's gaze shifted and found Han Yuchen sitting in the corner. Seeing his dark face, he understood everything.

Sure enough, Qi Ning didn't arrive.

Pei Mo found a quiet spot to sit down and took out his phone to text Qi Ning: "Where is she? Hasn't she arrived yet?"

He had just sent the message when the staff from Shengyue Villa came in.

The staff member leaned down to Han Yuxin and asked her a couple of questions. Han Yuxin clapped her hands and said to everyone, "It's eleven o'clock. Let's have lunch first. After lunch, everyone can go to their rooms to rest. You can have free time in the afternoon and go soak in the hot springs."

A cheer erupted from the crowd.

The staff had already started serving the dishes, and Han Yuxin gestured for everyone to sit at the table.

Someone asked, "Is everyone here?"

Han Yuxin almost forgot that she had someone count the number of people in her party.

"It seems someone's missing. Who didn't come?"

Han Yuxin instantly understood.

"It must be Qi Ning who hasn't arrived yet. She just told me she'd be here soon, she should be on her way now, or maybe we should..."

Before she could finish speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from the side.

Everyone was startled and looked over. It turned out that Han Yuchen had kicked the coffee table, knocking over and breaking the things on it.

Han Yuxin's expression changed slightly. She quickly walked to Han Yuchen's side and asked in a low voice, "Han Yuchen, what are you doing?"

"Why are you throwing a tantrum like a spoiled young master on such a fine day? Who upset you? Who are you giving that attitude to?"

Han Yuchen stood there with his hands on his hips: "Nobody provoked me, I'm just plain annoyed."

Han Yuxin glared at him: "Stop fooling around, everyone is waiting for you, come and eat quickly."

The others stood to the side, unaware of what was happening, and dared not even breathe.

Han Yuxin tugged at Han Yuchen's arm again, and he followed her to sit down.

"Please don't mind, everyone, please sit down," Han Yuxin said with a smile.

Everyone cooperated and sat down.

After all the dishes were served, someone asked, "Yuxin, you just said Qi Ning hasn't arrived yet? Aren't we going to wait for her?"

Before Han Yuxin could even speak, Han Yuchen sneered, "What are we waiting for her for? Does she even deserve all of us waiting for her? Eat up!"

He picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, everyone understood everything.

So it turns out the young master was in such a bad mood today because of Qi Ning.

Tsk, Han Yuchen already had a soft spot for Qi Ning... and Qi Ning actually dared to be late for this occasion, looks like she's going to be in trouble again...

However, no one dared to say these things, and some people tried to smooth things over, gradually making the atmosphere more lively.

Pei Mo glanced at his phone; Qi Ning hadn't replied.

Meanwhile, Wen Xuheng, who was sitting on the other side of Han Yuxin, also took out his phone and sent a message to Qi Ning to ask about the situation.

"Wen Xuheng, why aren't you eating?"

Han Yuxin picked up a shrimp for him and asked softly.

Wen Xuheng had no choice but to put down his phone and pick up his chopsticks.

Han Yuxin could guess what Wen Xuheng had been doing just now; he was simply contacting Qi Ning.

She put some more food on his plate and started talking to him.

Seeing this, the other students teased them, creating a lively atmosphere.

At this time, Qi Ning had already gotten up.

She sat in front of the mirror and fiddled with some bottles and jars containing an unknown liquid for a while.

Not long after, a handprint suddenly appeared on the once fair and elegant face in the mirror, and the corner of her mouth was also cut.

She also had bruises on her neck and arms.

"Host, how did you do that?" The system was utterly astonished.

"How is it? Is it realistic?" Qi Ning asked.

"It couldn't be more real! Even up close, it's an absolutely real injury!"

"That's good."

Qi Ning stood up, went to the wardrobe, and found a white long dress to put on.

Wearing a white dress and with injuries on her face and body, she looked extremely pitiful.

However, Qi Ning found a thin jacket in the closet and put it on to cover the injuries on her neck and arms.

Qi Ning did not appear at Shengyue Villa until the meal was almost over.

However, this didn't affect anything. She had always had a low profile in class, and soon most people forgot about her absence.

Pei Mo barely touched his chopsticks. He held his wine glass, wondering why Qi Ning hadn't arrived yet and if something had happened to her.

Could it be that her stepfather suddenly came home and ran into her?

Thinking of this, Pei Mo put down his wine glass, took his phone, and went to the balcony.

He made a direct call to Qi Ning.

Fortunately, the call was answered shortly afterward.

"Pei Mo?"

Qi Ning's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Pei Mo asked her, "Why haven't you arrived yet?"

"Something came up and I was held up."

"What's wrong? Is it serious?"

Pei Mo actually wanted to ask if it was related to your stepfather, but felt that asking it might be inappropriate.

Qi Ning replied, "It's nothing, it's not serious."

She didn't elaborate, and Pei Mo didn't press her for details.

"Are you still coming over?"

Qi Ning pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Let's go over there, otherwise Han Yuchen will get angry again."

Hearing this, Pei Mo felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He tried to ignore the oddity and said, "Shall I have the driver come pick you up?"

"No need to trouble yourself, I'll just take a taxi there."

"it is good."

Since Qi Ning refused, Pei Mo didn't insist. As long as she was alright, that was fine.

Qi Ning took a taxi to Shengyue Villa.

However, it's quite a distance from her home to Shengyue Villa, and she won't be able to get there in a short time.

By a little after 1 p.m., everyone had basically eaten and drunk their fill.

Han Yuxin arranged for someone to take them to their respective rooms for a midday rest, and they gradually dispersed.

Pei Mo knew that Qi Ning wouldn't arrive yet, so he went back to his room first.

At this point, only three people remained in the restaurant: Han Yuxin, Wen Xuheng, and Han Yuchen.

Han Yuxin looked at Wen Xuheng beside her and said shyly, "What they said just now was all a joke, please don't mind it."

Wen Xuheng shook his head: "I don't mind."

Han Yuxin smiled and said, "Let's go back to our room and rest. We can go to the hot springs this afternoon."

Wen Xuheng did not immediately agree.

"What's wrong? Or is there something else?"

"Qi Ning hasn't arrived yet. You're the class monitor, shouldn't you find out about her situation?"

After all, this was an event she organized, but Wen Xuheng didn't see a trace of worry on Han Yuxin's face, as if she didn't even have a basic sense of responsibility.

Han Yuxin realized her mistake, and the smile on her face faded slightly: "You're right, I almost forgot, we really should ask about the situation."

She called Qi Ning, and Qi Ning actually answered.

Han Yuxin asked a few questions before hanging up the phone.

"How is it?" Wen Xuheng asked.

"She said she was on her way and would arrive in about half an hour."

Upon hearing this, Han Yuchen, who was sitting on the other side, twitched his fingers slightly.

"Are you relieved now? Let's go upstairs and rest. I feel a little dizzy. Could you take me back to my room?" Han Yuxin said again.

This time, Wen Xuheng did not refuse.

The two stood up, and before going upstairs, Han Yuxin glanced at Han Yuchen and asked, "Han Yuchen, aren't you going to rest?"

Han Yuchen remained seated and didn't move: "You guys go up first, I'll go later."

Upon hearing this, Han Yuxin ignored him and went upstairs with Wen Xuheng.

Han Yuchen sat downstairs, patiently waiting, feeling as if time was passing endlessly.

After half an hour, faint footsteps finally came from the doorway.

The next instant, a slender figure appeared in the doorway.

Han Yuchen stood up and looked over: "You still know to come..."

He was about to get angry, but stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

He saw a handprint on Qi Ning's face and a cut on the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that she had been hit.

Qi Ning glanced at Han Yuchen, then lowered her head in fear, covered her face with her hands, and apologized softly.

"Han Yuchen... I'm sorry I'm late..."

"what's wrong with you?"

Han Yuchen strode towards Qi Ning, but Qi Ning took two steps back, as if he had frightened her.

Han Yuchen reached out and grabbed her arm, then used his other hand to pull Qi Ning's hand away from her face.

He stared at the injury on Qi Ning's face and asked, "Who hit you?"

Qi Ning blinked, her eyes reddening, but she didn't answer.

"Speak up, who hit you?"

Han Yuchen shook Qi Ning's body.

"It's...it's my dad..."

She stammered out those words, and a tear fell from her eye.

"Your dad? Why did your dad hit you?"

“He…he’s not my biological father, he’s my stepfather.”

"Stepfather?"

Han Yuchen stared wide-eyed in shock.

Only now did he realize that he knew nothing about Qi Ning's family situation. He had always thought that her family was an ordinary family, just relatively poor. He never expected that it was a blended family.

Even in a blended family, a stepfather cannot beat his stepdaughter at will!

"What about your mother? Doesn't she stop it?" Han Yuchen asked again.

Qi Ning reached out to wipe away her tears, but as soon as she wiped away one tear, another rolled down her cheek.

Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, tinged with sadness: "My mother, she passed away."

Upon hearing this, Han Yuchen fell completely speechless.

After a long pause, he finally spoke again, asking, "Your family isn't just you and your stepfather living together now, is it?"

Qi Ning didn't speak, she just nodded.

A stepfather and stepdaughter living separately... that just doesn't sound quite right...

Just as Han Yuchen had a bad feeling, his eyes suddenly noticed something unusual about Qi Ning's collar.

He reached out and slightly pulled open Qi Ning's collar, and sure enough, he saw the bruises on her collarbone.

His hands trembled as he rolled up Qi Ning's coat sleeves; her arms were also covered in injuries.

No wonder, it's already May, the weather is getting warmer, and everyone is wearing light clothing, but Qi Ning is wearing a coat. It turns out she's using the coat to cover up her scars.

Han Yuchen stared at the wounds, feeling as if his suspicions had been confirmed.

His voice was a little strained as he asked, "Did your stepfather bully you?"
