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

"I understand," Gu Zhaoting replied.

He thought to himself that he really shouldn't be thinking about Ye Yunyi anymore. She was already with Xiao Qiming and they had a child. He was being incredibly foolish.

Perhaps he should accept his wife and start a new life with her.

Seeing that Gu Zhaoting had agreed, Gu's mother temporarily gave up.

The thought of having to give an explanation to her mother-in-law about this matter gave Gu's mother a headache.

-

The next day, Cheng Yin had just finished a meeting and was taking a break when Secretary Fang came in with a document.

"President Cheng, the results of your investigation into Ye Yunyi that you asked me to do yesterday are in. Would you like to take a look now?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yin immediately put down what he was doing and took the document from Secretary Fang.

He carefully reviewed the documents and found that Gu Zhaoting and Ye Yunyi had indeed been together, but they had already separated before Gu Zhaoting married Qi Ning, and Ye Yunyi had even left Beijing for several years.

Nothing else was particularly noteworthy until Cheng Yin saw the part about Ye Yunyi's son.

His gaze settled on the child's photograph.

"Whose child is Ye Yunyi?"

Secretary Fang replied, "It should be Xiao Qiming, the one who's with her."

"Should?" Cheng Yin asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, although they are not legally married, the three of them live together now. Xiao Qiming has been taking care of Ye Yunyi and the child. It should be his, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."

After listening to Secretary Fang's analysis, Cheng Yin looked down at the child's photo again, but inexplicably felt that the child looked somewhat like Gu Zhaoting.

"Go check it again."

Cheng Yin put down the documents: "It would be best to get the child's and Gu Zhaoting's identification samples and do a paternity test for them."

"You mean, this child is Gu Zhaoting's?"

Let's investigate first.

Cheng Yin is also uncertain now.

Personally, he certainly hoped it was true. If it really was Gu Zhaoting's son, then Qi Ning...

"Yes," Secretary Fang replied. "I will have someone investigate as soon as possible."

Cheng Yin waved his hand: "You can go out now."

After watching Secretary Fang leave, Cheng Yin sat alone in the lounge for a while, then made a phone call to Qi Ning.

Qi Ning stayed home today and answered Cheng Yin's call while sitting on the sofa.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?" Cheng Yin retorted.

He did want to talk about Ye Yunyi and the child, but the matter hadn't been investigated thoroughly yet, and Cheng Yin planned to find out more before telling her.

"No, it's not like that." Qi Ning looked down at her manicured nails. "Weren't you on a business trip? I thought you were very busy."

"No matter how busy I am, I still have time to give you a call."

As the two were talking, the system suddenly reminded them: "Host, Gu Zhaoting, his mother, and Mrs. Qi are coming this way together."

These three people came together?

Qi Ning remembered that the system had mentioned that Gu's mother had gone to see Gu Zhaoting yesterday, and she guessed the purpose of their visit.

"Why don't you speak?"

"No, I'm listening. Go ahead and speak."

Qi Ning thought for a moment, then decided not to hang up on Cheng Yin and continued listening to him.

Cheng Yin asked Qi Ning if there was any gift she wanted that he would bring back for her, and then chatted about meaningless things like how long the meeting had lasted.

Cheng Yin is not usually one to gossip like this; he just wanted to hear Qi Ning's voice more often.

Qi Ning responded with a sound from time to time.

Just as a noise was heard at the door, Gu Zhaoting entered with two elders.

“Ningning,” Mrs. Qi spoke first.

Qi Ning then took the phone off her ear and casually stuffed it under a sofa cushion, leading Cheng Yin to believe that she had forgotten to hang up in her haste.

"Mom, why did you all come together?"

Gu's mother said, "Your mother and I were having tea outside today when we ran into Zhaoting, so we asked him to bring us here."

"Yes," Mrs. Qi agreed with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've been to your bridal chamber. I came to see you, and it's rare that Zhaoting has time."

Gu Zhaoting responded very cooperatively, and then said, "Mom, please sit down."

Mrs. Qi then came over and pulled Qi Ning to sit down.

They said that, but what a coincidence!

Besides, Gu Zhaoting doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing. They clearly have ulterior motives, which is why they came to find Qi Ning.

Not only Qi Ning understood, but Cheng Yin, who heard the commotion on the other end of the phone, also understood.

He looked at the phone that Qi Ning had forgotten to hang up, hesitated for a moment, neither reminding her nor hanging up himself, but just quietly listening to the voice on the other end.

After the four of them sat down, Gu's mother said, "Ningning, I've talked to Zhaoting and your mother about what happened yesterday. In the end, it's all Zhaoting's fault. I wronged you before and even doubted your fertility. Don't blame your mother; I didn't mean it."

"Your mother, Zhao Ting, and I came here today mainly to have him apologize to you."

As she spoke, Gu's mother gave Gu Zhaoting a look.

Gu Zhaoting's expression was cold and stern. After a few seconds of contemplation, he finally spoke, "It was indeed my fault before, and I made you suffer."

Mother Gu continued, "Now that he knows he was wrong, what we mean is that we hope you two young people can live a good life and have a child as soon as possible."

“That’s right.” Mrs. Qi nodded. “Ningning, my biggest hope is that you and Zhaoting can get along well. After all, you are husband and wife and will spend your whole lives together. If you can get along well, I will be at ease.”

Seeing that Qi Ning remained silent, Gu's mother asked her again, "Ningning, what are you thinking?"

Qi Ning glanced at the three of them and said in a calm tone, "Mom, I'm sorry to have troubled you with my relationship with Zhao Ting."

Upon hearing this, Gu's mother smiled broadly. She took Qi Ning's hand and patted it, saying, "Good child, I knew you were the most sensible."

Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Qi said many more words of advice to reconcile the couple, and then left, wanting to leave the young couple some private space.

The two looked at each other after they went outside.

Mrs. Qi was still a little worried: "Mother-in-law, are you sure there are no problems with Zhaoting?"

"Don't worry," Mrs. Gu said, pulling Mrs. Qi into the car. "Zhaoting has come to his senses. We can just wait to hold our grandson."

After watching her elders leave, Qi Ning leaned back on the sofa, crossed her arms, and looked at Gu Zhaoting.

What's the meaning behind this stunt of yours today?

"Can't you see?" Gu Zhaoting said, "The two elders are here to mediate between us."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Of course I understand what the two elders mean. What I'm asking is, what do you mean?"

Gu Zhaoting sighed: "My meaning is very simple. I admit that I was wrong before. I hope that we can be together well in the future, get along like a normal couple, and also fulfill the wishes of our elders by having a child to put their minds at ease."

In short, he's turning over a new leaf and returning to his family.

Qi Ning found it somewhat amusing: "Don't you think this is ridiculous? You always rejected me before, but now you're suddenly willing and want me to cooperate with you?"

Gu Zhaoting finally understood Qi Ning's attitude: "You don't want to? Didn't you always want a child?"

Qi Ning snorted: "The past is the past, and the present is the present. I can't just cooperate with you every time you're willing, can I? What would that make me?"

Gu Zhaoting looked at Qi Ning for a while and thought to himself that it made sense; after all, Qi Ning was a proud woman and it was impossible for her to agree immediately.

"What you said makes sense. I can give you time to think about it."

As he was speaking, his phone rang; it was Gu Zhaoting's secretary calling.

Gu Zhaoting answered a phone call. He stood up and said, "I have something to take care of. I'll go to the company first. You can think about it slowly."

After saying that, he left for the time being.

Cheng Yin listened to the whole thing before finally hanging up the phone.

His hand holding the phone fell to his side, and his face was gloomy.

Have a baby?

What happened? Why did Gu Zhaoting suddenly change his mind?

As for Qi Ning's attitude, although she did not directly agree, she did not refuse either.

The so-called consideration is just a euphemism for agreeing later.

Cheng Yin sneered and called Secretary Fang in.

"Mr. Cheng?"

"Book the fastest flight back to Beijing."

"Oh? But Mr. Cheng, what about our work arrangements here..."

Cheng Yin frowned: "Can't you understand human language?"

Secretary Fang was startled and quickly replied, "Yes, I'll take care of it right away."

That very night, Cheng Yin rushed back to Beijing.

After getting off the plane, he went straight to Lanyuan from the airport.

It was 10 p.m. when Cheng Yin arrived at Qi Ning's villa. He had been there once before and was already familiar with the place, so he simply rang the doorbell this time.

Qi Ning had already heard about Cheng Yin's reaction and movements from the system, so she was not surprised that he was coming.

Hearing the rather urgent doorbell ring, Qi Ning calmly went to open the door, a look of surprise on her face: "Cheng Yin? Weren't you supposed to be away on a business trip for several days? How come you're back so soon?"

Cheng Yin, dressed in a sharp suit, stood outside the door, clearly returning from a formal occasion. He looked at her and asked, "May I come in?"

It's rare to see him so polite and courteous; it's almost unusual.

Qi Ning thought that Gu Zhaoting had just left that afternoon and probably wouldn't be coming back, so she let him in.

As soon as Cheng Yin went in, he closed the door.

Qi Ning glanced in the direction of the door and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

But Cheng Yin suddenly hugged her tightly.

"What's wrong?" Qi Ning asked, leaning against him.

"I miss you," Cheng Yin said, only two words.

His calm demeanor was somewhat different from what Qi Ning had expected.

Cheng Yin didn't understand his own actions either. He originally thought that when he saw Qi Ning, he would probably directly question her, asking if she had decided to treat Gu Zhaoting like a normal couple, and if she was planning to end their relationship.

But when he actually saw Qi Ning, he didn't want to ask those meaningless questions for the time being; he just wanted to hug her first.

"Haven't we only been apart for a day?" Qi Ning muttered.
