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

A week later, Qi Ning and Gu Zhaoting will attend a wedding banquet together.

Coincidentally, the host of the wedding banquet had a good relationship with Cheng Yin, and he would also be attending.

On the day of the wedding banquet, Qi Ning and Gu Zhaoting went to the banquet hall where the wedding was to be held together.

Although the couple's relationship wasn't good in private, they always presented themselves as a loving couple in front of the public for the sake of the company's interests.

Cheng Yin arrived late. When he arrived at the wedding banquet, he immediately spotted Qi Ning in the crowd. She was holding Gu Zhaoting's arm, and the two were chatting and laughing.

It's likely that outsiders don't know that this seemingly loving couple actually leads separate lives.

Cheng Yin secretly found it laughable.

The hosts of the wedding banquet, Qin Feng and his wife Lin Jiamin, were also acquaintances, and were mutual friends of Gu Zhaoting and Cheng Yin. After seeing Cheng Yin, they pulled them together to talk.

"I heard you two had a falling out over Hengtai's project a while ago?" Qin Feng said in a half-joking tone.

"How could it be unpleasant? Our Gu family successfully secured the project, there's nothing unpleasant about it. If you have to say something, it's Cheng Yin who's a little unhappy, isn't it?" Gu Zhaoting said, swirling his wine glass.

Whenever the Hengtai project was mentioned, Cheng Yin felt utterly disgusted by the Gu family's underhanded tactics.

Although the methods were not exactly honorable, the project was indeed snatched away by the Gu family, and Cheng Yin had nothing to say about it.

He raised his eyebrows: "Business is about give and take, gains and losses. What could I possibly be unhappy about?"

Qin Feng originally wanted to ease the tension between them, but he didn't expect their conversation to still be so hostile.

He laughed it off, saying, "Business is business. We were all classmates in school and have known each other for so many years. There's no need to make things too awkward."

Cheng Yin didn't pay much attention, but he did notice that Qi Ning, who was standing next to Gu Zhaoting, was very quiet while they were talking, and she didn't say much and even avoided his gaze.

Judging from her expression, she's probably worried that he'll reveal what happened at the hotel that day.

The group chatted for a few minutes, but they didn't get along, and soon Gu Zhaoting took Qi Ning to talk to other guests, leaving Qin Feng and his wife Lin Jiamin with only Cheng Yin by their side.

Qin Feng couldn't help but tease, "Look, we're all about the same age. Zhao Ting has been married for three years, and Jia Min and I are married too. Why haven't you made any moves yet?"

"Marriage? That's a long way off."

Cheng Yin patted Qin Feng on the shoulder: "You guys go and entertain the other guests, don't worry about me, I'll be fine by myself for a while."

Qin Feng was indeed very busy tonight, and upon hearing this, he didn't say anything more: "Okay, then we'll be going. Feel free to ask the waiter if you need anything."

After saying that, he left with Lin Jiamin.

Cheng Yin stood there and gave a somewhat sarcastic laugh.

If marriage is like that of Gu Zhaoting and his wife—a marriage in name only—then it's better not to get married at all.

As the wedding banquet drew to a close, guests began to prepare to leave one after another.

Gu Zhaoting and Qi Ning were standing at the hotel entrance, waiting for the driver to bring the car from the parking lot.

Just then, Gu Zhaoting's phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at the name on the caller ID; it was Ye Yunyi.

Gu Zhaoting hesitated for a moment while holding his phone, glanced at Qi Ning, and walked to the side to answer the call without saying anything.

As soon as the call connected, Ye Yunyi's voice, trembling with tears, came through the phone.

"Gu Zhaoting, Yangyang fell and hit his head, it's all bloody, could you... could you come over here..."

Gu Zhaoting was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Your son is injured, why are you coming to me instead of going to his biological father?"

"What did you say?"

"Where's Xiao Qiming?"

"He...he's not here..."

Hearing Ye Yunyi's cries, Gu Zhaoting finally couldn't bear it and coldly uttered two words: "Wait."

Then he hung up the phone.

Just as Gu Zhaoting returned to Qi Ning's side, the driver brought the car over.

"Whose call was it?" Qi Ning looked at Gu Zhaoting and asked him.

Gu Zhaoting did not answer directly, but said, "There's an urgent matter at the company, I need to go there now. Why don't you call your driver to pick you up?"

After saying that, he opened the car door and got in. Without waiting for Qi Ning to get in, he told the driver to drive away.

"Hello? Gu Zhaoting!"

Qi Ning tried to call after him, but the car had already driven far away.

Cheng Yin was smoking in a corner and happened to witness everything. He leaned against the wall and continued to watch Qi Ning's reaction as if it were a show.

After Gu Zhaoting's car drove away, Qi Ning stomped her foot slightly, looking like she was furious, but she couldn't show it in front of others.

Abandoned by her husband, her figure standing there alone looked rather forlorn.

Qi Ning knew exactly what Gu Zhaoting was doing, but she also knew that Cheng Yin was standing right behind her.

She took her phone out of her bag, pretending to call the driver.

At this moment, another car was driven over by a driver. The driver was also there to attend the banquet. He was the owner of some company that had a business relationship with the Qin family. Qi Ning had a vague impression of him and remembered that his surname was Zhang.

When Mr. Zhang saw the car arrive, he didn't rush to get in. Instead, he walked over to Qi Ning.

"Mrs. Gu, would you like to ride in my car? I can take you home."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ning's eyes flickered slightly.

"you……"

She glanced at Mr. Zhang, her phone still in her hand, not yet dialing a number.

"My surname is Zhang. I am the general manager of Far East Group. I have met Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu a few times. I suppose Mrs. Gu does not remember me."

He smiled and extended his hand to Qi Ning.

"Oh, it's General Manager Zhang."

Qi Ning responded and shook his hand.

"I saw that Mr. Gu had to leave early because of an emergency. If Mrs. Gu waits for the driver, I don't know how long it will take. Why don't you get in my car and I'll take Mrs. Gu home?"

This Mr. Zhang is probably in his thirties. His features are fairly regular, but he doesn't manage his figure very well and is a little overweight. Perhaps because he has been immersed in the business world for a long time, his demeanor and tone have a greasy feel to them.

As he spoke, his gaze lingered on Qi Ning, intentionally or unintentionally.

He probably didn't mean to offend anyone; he just wanted to curry favor. But his subconscious gaze still made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"This...this isn't a good idea."

Qi Ning's tone sounded a little hesitant.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a coincidence. Mrs. Gu, please get in the car."

Mr. Zhang was very hospitable and had already opened the car door, waiting for Qi Ning to get in.

"OK then……"

Qi Ning seemed oblivious to Mr. Zhang's uncomfortable gaze as she bent down to get into the car.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Yin immediately frowned.

She's really naive. Late at night, a woman like her would get into anyone's car. She's only just met this Mr. Zhang and they haven't even exchanged a few words yet, and she has absolutely no sense of caution.

Cheng Yin stubbed out his cigarette on a nearby trash can and walked over there.

"and many more."

Qi Ning paused as she was about to get into the car, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

When she turned around, the smile had been hidden, and her face was full of confusion, as if she had not expected Cheng Yin to suddenly appear.

Cheng Yin stepped forward: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, I need to speak with Mrs. Gu about something."

"What can I do for you, Mr. Cheng?" Qi Ning asked.

Cheng Yin thought for a moment and then said, "I have some project-related matters that I'd like to discuss with President Gu, but I didn't expect him to have already left. Why don't you listen to what I have to say and then pass it on to President Gu?"

Seeing the scene before him, Mr. Zhang was naturally quite tactful. He laughed twice and said, "Since Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Gu have something to discuss, I'll be leaving now."

Cheng Yin nodded, and General Manager Zhang quickly got into the car and left.

Cheng Yin took out his phone and made a call. His driver quickly brought the car over.

"Mrs. Gu, please."

Qi Ning glanced at Cheng Yin and got into his car.

Cheng Yin got into the car from the other side, and as soon as he got in, he asked, "Where does Mrs. Gu live?"

Qi Ning gave the address of a villa area.

Cheng Yin gestured to the driver to take Qi Ning home first, and then said nothing more, and the car fell silent.

"Didn't President Cheng just say that he had something to tell me about a project?" Qi Ning asked.

Cheng Yin turned his head to look at Qi Ning.

He certainly didn't have any project matters to discuss with Qi Ning, and he didn't know why he had suddenly gone over to say those things and meddlesomely by letting Qi Ning get into his car.

However, since Qi Ning had already come up, he did have something to say to her.

Last time at the hotel, she came and went like that, saying a bunch of incomprehensible things and doing some strange things. The worst part is that she forgot everything after sleeping, leaving only Cheng Yin to remember those absurd things. He felt a little unbalanced.

She took advantage of her drunkenness and acted inappropriately towards him.

Cheng Yin recalled that Qi Ning had repeatedly avoided his gaze at the banquet earlier, and couldn't help but make a guess.

"Mrs. Gu, do you actually remember what happened at the hotel that day?" he asked with a half-smile.

"What hotel... Oh, you mean that day..." Qi Ning stroked her long hair and stammered, "That day at the hotel, I later confirmed that I was indeed drunk and went to the wrong room."

"Speaking of this matter, I should apologize to President Cheng."

At this point, she changed the subject: "But I was drunk at the time. Even if I went to the wrong room, Mr. Cheng should have contacted the hotel to send me back, instead of leaving me in your suite for the night. Although we didn't share a room, it was still inappropriate."

Cheng Yin almost laughed out of anger. He didn't expect Qi Ning to dare to turn the tables and blame him.

He had only asked casually, but since Qi Ning had this attitude, he was going to take it seriously.

"You know, I'm not just referring to the fact that you went into the wrong room, but also what Mrs. Gu did and said that night. You must remember, right?"
