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

Xu Linlang smiled sweetly, but her words were sharp: "Auntie, it's one thing for others to say such things, but wasn't Uncle also completely infatuated with you, this actress, back then? How many years has it been? Have you even forgotten your origins, Auntie?"

"You, you're talking to an elder?"

"The elders are unkind, and the younger generation is disrespectful."

"Brother, are you just going to watch her talk to her elders like that?" Aunt turned around and complained to Xu Yongrui, her voice much softer.

Xu Linlang laughed: "Haha, my aunt is indeed a former opera singer. She can switch between her voice and my dad's so quickly."

"Xu Linlang, do you have any manners?" Xu Yongrui began to lecture his daughter.

"Dad, Mom is back. She asked me to give her regards to Grandpa."

Xu Yongrui's expression changed slightly. His ex-wife was no pushover. Although she was the least capable member of the Huo family, she was actually quite daring. During their divorce, she would often leave him injured, and the key was that he couldn't beat her. He didn't even dare to let his illegitimate son show up in public now, for fear that Huo Xin would come back and beat him up, since his illegitimate son would reduce Xu Linlang's assets.

"Why are you bringing up your mother? Did your mother teach you to be unruly?" Xu Yongrui said, his tone fierce but his voice weak.

"My mom never taught me that if someone spits on your head, you should talk back."

"No matter what, they are still elders."

"I said, if the elders are not kind, the younger generation will be disrespectful. I'll say the same thing to Dad." Xu Linlang perfectly embodied the role of an unfilial descendant.

"Xu Linlang, how dare you!"

"Oh!" How dare you! What's wrong with that?

Grandpa Xu coughed and said, "Alright, it's New Year's, so don't scold the kids. All of you should keep quiet."

Xu Linlang pouted. It was so boring. The Xu family put on this show every year. There would always be a few people making sarcastic attacks on Xu Linlang. Xu Yongrui would never stand on his daughter's side. The original owner of this body was only good-tempered when facing Yan Mingxuan. She didn't have such a good temper with anyone else. She had to fight against the whole family by herself. Sometimes she would be so angry that she would cry. Then Old Master Xu would come out and smooth things over. He wouldn't teach anyone a lesson and would just suppress the quarrel and that would be the end of it.

She had come prepared, and she wanted to see who would make whom cry today. She just didn't know why the old man had come out to settle things so early this year.

Xu Linlang clicked her tongue, realizing she hadn't really performed well and all her preparations had been for nothing.

After finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, Xu Linlang was too lazy to waste words with them and went upstairs to prepare for bed. After becoming an adult, she rarely stayed at the Xu family home throughout the year. The original owner used to live in her own small villa, but now she lived in a large apartment and only came back to stay during the New Year holidays.

Her room was untouched and kept very clean. Xu Linlang quickly washed up and went to bed. From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth, she had been shuttling between the Huo and Xu families. The relatives and friends she visited were her future connections, so she naturally wouldn't slack off.

After the Lantern Festival, Xu Linlang and Liu Qian continued to rotate between various branches and departments of the Xu Group. In early March, bad news came from the sanatorium.

When Xu Linlang arrived, General Huo was already on his deathbed.

"Grandpa." Xu Linlang rushed to the bedside. She admired this kind old man. Even though she knew from the plot that the old man was about to pass away, she was still heartbroken by his passing. When she came the day before yesterday, the old man's condition was not too bad.

"Linlin." General Huo opened his eyes with difficulty and stared at her for a while.

Xu Linlang's heart skipped a beat; she felt that the old man's gaze was not focused on her.

"Don't be afraid, Linlin, Grandpa's here." After saying this, the old general lowered his gaze and smiled slightly. "Little girl, it's alright. Go do what you want to do, protect your mother and brother, and you will succeed."

"Okay, as long as I'm here, I won't let Mom and my brother get hurt in any way." At this moment, she wasn't Xu Linlang, but Chu Lanyu, making a promise to the old woman.

The old man looked at his daughter: "Xinxin, Daddy is going to find your mother. You have to take good care of yourself."

"Dad, sob sob."

"Don't cry, Dad is much luckier than those comrades who stayed on the battlefield." The old general's expression was filled with longing and relief.

For the next while, the old general didn't say a word, but he didn't die. Everyone knew that he was waiting for his eldest son, Huo Yanting, who had been stationed in the border military region for many years. During this time, the old man's condition had not been good, and his children and grandchildren had come to visit frequently. They had told him everything they needed to say, but his eldest son had not returned.

Within half an hour, many national military and political leaders arrived. Ten minutes later, Huo Yanting arrived in a hurry with his wife and children.

General Huo suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at his eldest son and his family, tapped his son's hand with his index finger, and closed his eyes forever with a smile, passing away at the age of 97.

The ward was filled with weeping. After the memorial service, burial and other matters were completed, both Huo Yanting and Huo Xinquan fell ill. Huo Yanting, in particular, was 67 years old and had long passed the retirement age. However, the situation on the frontier was complex and not something that ordinary people could handle. He had to keep postponing his retirement age. His father's death was a great blow to him, and he could no longer cope, so he had to be hospitalized for recuperation.

Xu Linlang had no choice but to stay at the hospital, taking care of her mother while keeping an eye on her uncle.

"Linlin, your second uncle told me that you've started doing something serious now?" Huo Yanting sat on the hospital bed, staring intently at his niece.

"Didn't my second uncle promise me to keep it a secret? Even my mother doesn't know."

What secrets does he have in front of me?

"oh."

"Why the sudden urge to buy the Xu family's property?"

"It's not exactly sudden, is it? According to ethics and law, shouldn't the Xu family's assets have always been mine?"

"Didn't you say you weren't interested? You were glaring at me when I sent you abroad to study management."

"Uncle, I glared at you not because I study management, but because you don't approve of the person I like." Xu Linlang revealed her own shortcomings.

"Oh, you know that too."

"I know, otherwise why would I glare at you? I'm a quick learner, and I wouldn't glare at you if it meant studying."

"You brat, just like your mother."

"But I won't be a brat anymore."

Huo Yanting looked wistful: "Actually, your maternal grandparents' only expectation for your mother was to grow up safely. As long as she was safe and healthy and didn't break the law, she could do whatever she wanted. This led to your mother's somewhat willful and unrestrained personality. After she divorced your father, you spent most of your time with the Huo family. At that time, your maternal grandfather hadn't yet moved to a nursing home. His education of you was the same as his education of your mother. Because of the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren, he raised you to be even more spoiled."
