Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

"Linlang, you still love me, don't you?"

Xu Linlang gave him a serious look, neither denying nor agreeing. Yan Mingxuan was a mission target and could not be completely isolated; keeping him around was still useful.

But that one glance sent Yan Mingxuan's heart plummeting into an ice cave. His eyes were devoid of any emotion, love, or hate, as indifferent as if he were looking at an unfamiliar classmate.

"Linlang, a new movie just came out, shall we go see it?"

"Heh~" Xu Linlang scoffed. Back then, the original owner had been longing for Yan Mingxuan and had to give him benefits to get him to agree to go to a movie with her. But on the day of the movie, Yan Mingxuan brought a bunch of men and women with him, and the original owner was treated like an outsider.

"No, it's just the two of us this time."

"No need, I'm very busy. Let's talk about it when I'm not busy."

"What are you busy with?" Yan Mingxuan stopped himself in time, swallowing the words he was about to say.

"Let's go," Xu Linlang said to her people.

As the bodyguards stepped forward, Yan Mingxuan's henchmen quickly cleared the doorway.

As Xu Linlang passed Yan Mingxuan, she suddenly stopped and said, "Yan Mingxuan, the master-servant relationship has changed. Be aware of your place and don't overstep your bounds."

After saying that, he left surrounded by bodyguards.

One of Yan Mingxuan's underlings, a rich second-generation heir whose family's company receives most of the Yan family's orders, leaned over and asked, "Brother Yan, what should we do? Should we have Huang Yilan provoke her again?"

Yan Mingxuan suddenly looked up at his underling, staring at him expressionlessly without saying a word, which made the underling break out in a cold sweat.

"Brother Yan, um, um, did I say something wrong? Let me think about it again, let me think about it again."

Yan Mingxuan left the private restaurant immediately. He was very flustered. Ever since he met Xu Linlang at school, she had been revolving around him, her heart and eyes filled with him. However, he did not like arrogant princesses. He preferred women who were completely under his control. Yet, a princess who had no involvement in the family business could bring such great benefits to the Yan family. Because of this, the woman his father kept outside no longer dared to provoke his mother, and the illegitimate child dared not show his face.

At home, three out of ten sentences his parents said were about how to win over Xu Linlang. His mother even personally taught him how to please the proud princess. Although he hated it, he had no choice but to please her. In his relationship with Xu Linlang, there was always a very disconnected Yan Mingxuan, who both flattered her and secretly belittled her, keeping her at arm's length. He also liked to collect women from poor families who were similar to Xu Linlang for his own amusement.

When Xu Linlang was sent abroad, he panicked for a while, but Xu Linlang sent him messages to report on almost everything. Even if he only replied occasionally, she was very happy. So he always thought that he could completely control Xu Linlang's feelings and that they would eventually get married. Even the time at the hotel last time, he pretended to be drunk to give Xu Linlang some sweetness. If she got pregnant, that would be even better, as he could use it as leverage to ask his family for more benefits.

It seems that Xu Linlang started to cool down from that night.

Why? Because I didn't perform well enough? No, all the women before praised me for being amazing, so it definitely wasn't my fault.

Why? That celebrity? She is indeed good-looking, but she's just a small-time starlet who gets taken advantage of. Her family is just an ordinary one. No matter how much the Xu family spoils her, they won't allow her to marry someone like that. Even the Yan family doesn't really catch the Xu family's eye. They can't be together. In the future, Xu Linlang will come back to him, and then he'll have her under his thumb.

Ignoring the slight unease deep in his heart, Yan Mingxuan tried his best to calm himself down and drove to Huang Yilan's residence.

Xu Linlang got busy. She not only worked hard at the Xu Group, but also wanted to catch the next big trend. While working at the Xu Group, she tried her best to research the development of smartphones, home appliances, new energy, and artificial intelligence in this world, and formulate feasible plans.

She was still busy outside until the day of the Lunar New Year, arriving at the Huo family home two hours later than Huo Xin, who had returned from abroad for the holiday.

"Linlin, your second uncle said you're busy. What are you busy with? Still fighting that Yan family brat?"

Xu Linlang glanced at the people in the room, exchanged a look with her second uncle, and then took her mother's arm: "No, I'm busy with other things."

"What other things are you busy with? You've already graduated, what are you still busy with?"

"Mom, I'm twenty-five now, I'm an adult, I have my own secrets, I can't tell you."

"Okay, okay, Mom won't ask, but don't cause trouble!" Huo Xin warned.

"Mom, have you heard this since you were little? Does it even help? It just keeps causing trouble." Xu Linlang let go of her mother's arm and ran far away to talk back.

When Huo Xin took a liking to Xu Yongrui, she was marrying down. She insisted on getting married, and the Huo family agreed. A few years later, she started making a fuss about getting a divorce. After that, she gave birth to a posthumous son, Jiang You, and left him to be raised by the Huo family. She then went abroad and might not even come back once a year.

Xu Linlang discovered that the Huo family was very indulgent in providing for their children, especially their daughter. When it came to her, she said she wanted to compete for the Xu family business, and her second uncle helped her. He didn't complain at all about her absurd behavior of chasing after men a few years ago, nor did he say that she was being unrealistic. He just let her try.

"Hey, you little rascal, complaining about your mother?" Huo Xin wasn't a strict parent; perhaps it was her personality, her neglect of her children, that made it impossible for her to be strict with them. "Where's Jiang You? Didn't he say he was living with you downtown? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"Huh? He hasn't come back yet?" Xu Linlang took out her phone to ask. She hadn't come back from the city center. She had set up a temporary studio for herself in her villa in the suburbs. She had just discussed things with Liu Qian there and then went straight back to the Huo family.

The phone rang twice before being answered: "Sis?"

"Why aren't you back yet? Grandpa will be coming out soon." General Huo is nearly a hundred years old. His health depends on monitoring equipment and medical staff. He only returns to the Huo family home for one day each year during the Lunar New Year. Usually, his children and grandchildren visit him.

"I'm almost there, in the car. We'll be there in ten minutes."

"Why are you up so late?"

"Don't even mention it. That Wang Ying is an idiot. She actually revealed Jing Ci's activity location to her friend. I'm going to handle this matter."

Xu Linlang took her phone and walked to a secluded spot. "Is it all settled? The other side hasn't given up yet?"

"It's all taken care of. Who am I to you?" Jiang You said with a touch of arrogance, "The other side has changed their tactics now and is trying to stall for time."

"Just drag it out. At worst, let him wait until the contract expires. In the meantime, don't let him take on any jobs. Let him do charity work and share his life regularly. Can't you afford to support Jing Ci?"

"That's what I think too. I've already picked out a few people, and I'll sign them next year. Once the company is up and running, it'll be easy to support Jing Ci."
