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

Wen's father now holds a high-level position in the Han Group, but there are some things he can't ask at the company, so he called Wen Xuheng home to ask him privately.

Wen Xuheng paused, his hand holding the chopsticks still. He replied vaguely, "It's hard to say."

"What do you mean by 'it's hard to say'?" Wen's parents immediately became anxious upon hearing this.

Wen Xuheng sighed: "Mom and Dad, don't you know that my success at Han's Group is only superficial? In reality, I'm practically a live-in son-in-law. Do you think anyone in the company truly respects me? How many people actually listen to me?"

"In the end, these matters still need to be decided by my father-in-law. Although he is ill now, he is not incapable of managing things and is quite lucid."

"So, you're just going to abandon him?" Mr. Wen asked anxiously, his ulterior motives obvious and undisguised.

Wen Xuheng's expression suddenly changed, and he slammed down his chopsticks: "How am I supposed to manage this? I got married and started working at the Han Group, all according to your arrangements. I can't even manage my own life, and now you want me, a son-in-law, to manage my in-laws' company?"

"I know what you're up to, but I advise you not to be too greedy. No matter how down on your luck the Han family is, Han Bin is still alive, and Han Yuchen will come out sooner or later. Do you want me to take advantage of this situation to do something?"

Mr. and Mrs. Wen were surprised that Wen Xuheng would suddenly turn against them, and the couple exchanged a glance.

Mr. Wen slammed his hand on the table, so hard that the bowls and chopsticks on the table shook: "Wen Xuheng, what do you mean by this? We arranged your life, wasn't it all for your own good? If it weren't for us, would you have been able to become the president of Han's Group right after graduation?"

"I'd rather you hadn't arranged these things for me!"

"You?! You, you, you..."

Father Wen pointed a trembling finger at Wen Xuheng, then clutched his chest.

"Oh dear, Xuheng, don't upset your father. He's only doing this for your own good," Wen's mother exclaimed.

Here we go again; Wen Xuheng is already used to this tactic.

The house was in a noisy mess, and the meal was not enjoyed. Wen's mother helped Wen's father into the room to rest, and when she came out, she stopped Wen Xuheng, who wanted to leave.

“Son, don’t rush off. Listen to me. Your father didn’t mean it that way. Don’t argue with him right now. No matter what, let’s try to save the Han family’s company first, otherwise none of us will be happy.”

Wen Xuheng didn't speak. His mother pulled him to sit down and said, "Yuxin called me today. She told me that this matter is actually related to Qi Ning..."

Wen Xuheng frowned upon hearing this. So that's how it is. Han Yuxin must have said something. No wonder his parents called him home.

Wen's mother was not really clear about the entanglement involved, nor did she understand how this matter was related to Qi Ning.

In her memory, Qi Ning was just a neighbor from when they lived in the old neighborhood. After Wen Xuheng took the college entrance examination, Qi Ning's father died in a car accident, and Qi Ning sold the house and disappeared.

This incident caused quite a stir at the time.

But not long after, they moved away from that old neighborhood, and naturally, they gradually put those unimportant things behind them.

She couldn't understand how a seemingly insignificant little girl could have such a large company as the Han family.

"Mom doesn't know what this has to do with Qi Ning, but Yu Xin said that you and Qi Ning were close when you were little. If you go to Qi Ning and plead for her, this matter might be resolved."

Wen's mother patted Wen Xuheng on the shoulder: "Son, I know you don't like being forced, but now that things have come to this, Yuxin is your wife, and Han Bin is your father-in-law. They have been very good to us. Even if it's not for anything else, just to thank them, you should help the Han family's company."

“If the Han family’s company goes bankrupt, you and your father will lose your jobs, which would be a fatal blow to our family…”

Wen's mother went on and on, but it all boiled down to one main point: to get Wen Xuheng to listen to Han Yuxin and plead with Qi Ning for mercy.

Qi Ning has been too busy lately to pay attention to the Han family's trivial schemes.

Having finally had some free time, she remembered that she hadn't visited her studio in a long time, so she went there.

Pei Mo drove her there, and after dropping her off downstairs, he said to her, "I'll come pick you up tonight."

"Mmm." Qi Ning replied, and then kissed Pei Mo on the cheek before getting out of the car.

Pei Mo curled his lips into a smile, watched Qi Ning go upstairs, and then left.

Qi Ning spent the whole day in the studio. In the evening, when it was almost time, she called Pei Mo.

Pei Mo said on the phone, "I'll come pick you up right away."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Ning thought that Pei Mo would arrive soon, so she might as well go downstairs and wait for him.

However, just as she got downstairs, an unfamiliar car slowly pulled up in front of her.

Qi Ning stared at the car for a moment and examined it.

"Host, it's Wen Xuheng who's here to plead for the Han family," the system explained simply.

Qi Ning understood.

The next second, the car door opened and Wen Xuheng got out.

“Ningning…” Wen Xuheng looked at Qi Ning and called her name.

Qi Ning said indifferently, "Wen Xuheng, neither of us are children anymore, and we haven't seen each other for so many years. There's really no need to call each other so affectionately."

Wen Xuheng's expression stiffened slightly, and he nodded: "Then I'll call you Qi Ning."

"Is there something you need?" Qi Ning asked directly.

"I do have something I'd like to discuss with you. If it's convenient for you, I'd like to invite you to dinner, or maybe just a cup of coffee."

"It's not convenient, my boyfriend is coming to pick me up soon."

Upon hearing Qi Ning mention "boyfriend," Wen Xuheng understood.

"Shall we talk in the car?"

"No need, just say what you have to say here."

"Alright." Wen Xuheng paused, then asked her, "The boyfriend you mentioned earlier, is it Pei Mo?"

“Yes, it’s him,” Qi Ning replied.

"I heard that you..."

"You came to see me just to talk about me and Pei Mo?" Qi Ning interrupted him.

"No," Wen Xuheng denied outright.

He had to admit that what Qi Ning had just said was true. They had all grown up and were no longer as innocent and carefree as they were when they were little, able to hold hands and go to school together.

As a child, Qi Ning was a shy, introverted, timid, and delicate little girl. But now, Qi Ning has changed a lot. She has become indifferent and aloof, and speaks to him with a sense of estrangement. This is strangely similar to Pei Mo.

No one knows what exactly happened back then, why she went abroad with Pei Mo, why they got together, and even discussed marriage...

These questions will probably stay in his heart for the rest of his life, because Wen Xuheng realized that he would never have the chance to ask them, and even if he did ask, Qi Ning might not answer.

Forget it, what good would asking do?

Wen Xuheng had not forgotten his true purpose in coming to see Qi Ning today.

He finally got down to business: "Qi Ning, I know Han Yuchen's situation is entirely his fault. Now he's been arrested and received his due punishment, but the rest of the Han family are innocent..."

Qi Ning tucked her hair behind her ear and said somewhat impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say? Get to the point."

Wen Xuheng gritted his teeth before speaking, "I want to say, please, for the sake of the fact that we grew up together, give me some face and let the Han family go."

"Why should I give you face?" Qi Ning asked bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Wen Xuheng's expression immediately turned ugly.

Qi Ning smiled and said, "When we were kids... there were so many kids in that neighborhood we played with. You were just one of my neighbors who lived relatively close by."

"However," she changed the subject, "speaking of which, you and I are indeed old acquaintances."

"I remember when we were in high school, you and Han Yuxin were very close. You were always deskmates. You got married right after you graduated from university. Now you're asking me for help because of Han Yuxin. It seems like you two have a good relationship. I'm really touched."

Wen Xuheng felt as if Qi Ning's words were stabbing at his flesh and blood, piercing his heart. If his relationship with Han Yuxin was really as good as Qi Ning said, he wouldn't be in such a difficult position today.

"She is, after all, my wife," Wen Xuheng could only say.

Qi Ning nodded: "That makes sense, after all, you are husband and wife."

"Since you've come to plead for me, let me ask you a few questions."

"go ahead."

"Back in high school, you know I was always bullied by Han Yuchen, right?"

Wen Xuheng was surprised that Qi Ning would ask this question. He was stunned for a moment before replying, "Yes, I guessed it, but I asked you many times at the time, and you denied it."

Qi Ning chuckled: "Yes, it's all my fault for denying it."

"Then do you know why I denied it?"

"why?"

"Because Han Yuchen told me not to tell you. If I did, I would suffer even more severe retaliation."

Wen Xuheng subconsciously clenched his hands hanging at his sides.

Then, Qi Ning asked, "Do you know why he wouldn't let me tell you?"

Before Wen Xuheng could answer, Qi Ning said, "The reason he didn't want me to tell you is related to why he bullied me. Guess why, out of so many people in the class, he specifically chose to bully me?"

Wen Xuheng looked at Qi Ning and asked with difficulty, "What does this have to do with me?"

"You guessed right." Qi Ning gave him an appreciative look.

"Because you've always acted like you like me, and Han Yuxin likes you, my existence makes Han Yuxin unhappy. Han Yuchen is such a good younger brother; to make his sister happy and stand up for her, he started causing me trouble."

"Did you know all of this?"

Wen Xuheng's face was pale: "I...I don't know, I don't know it's because of me..."

"So what do you think is the reason? Is it because I'm unlucky, because I deserve it, or because I'm easy to bully?"
