Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

"That Aunt Yao actually went around saying that Yao Feiran isn't even from my family, spreading complete rumors, and these people actually believed her! It makes me so angry!"

Zhou Yonggang suddenly looked up and grabbed Li Yuelan's hand: "What did you say? Aunt Yao said Yao Feiran isn't your daughter? How did she know?"

"What? She said that on purpose, to prevent us from recognizing each other—" Li Yuelan's expression changed halfway through her sentence: "Zhou Yonggang! What did you mean just now? Yao Feiran isn't our daughter?"

Zhou Yonggang knew he could no longer hide his reaction, so he sighed and whispered.

"Back then, we weren't visiting relatives in the city when you suddenly went into premature labor. We had no choice but to go to the local hospital, which cost a lot of money. We happened to meet a family who had come from the north to visit relatives. The old man in the family was a military leader. I thought, since it's just a girl, I secretly switched the two of them."

Li Yuelan's expression changed, and she reached out to slap him, her fingernails leaving marks on Zhou Yonggang's face.

"Fine, you didn't even consult me ​​about such a big thing, and you kept it from me for so long! Do you want to die, Zhou Yonggang?"

"You have no sense of propriety! If that family finds out, we common folk will be ripped off!" Zhou Yonggang said while dodging the question. "Besides, I haven't treated her badly. That family seems to be in a high position of power, and our daughter is treated like a princess there."

"What young lady! This is my daughter, and it's my job to decide where she goes."

After venting her frustrations, Li Yuelan finally calmed down.

To be honest, she didn't care about how her fourth daughter was doing; she only cared about whether she could get something from her. She preferred Yao Feiran, who offered tangible benefits.

She didn't dare to acknowledge her husband for what he had done, fearing that if he were discovered, she wouldn't be able to afford to offend this high-ranking official in Beicheng.

.........

After returning to Beicheng, Xiao Ning has been training intensively, and Yao Feiran has also helped with sparring, but she seems to be in a low mood.

He Yonghui said, "Xiao Ning, what's been going on with you lately? You seem out of sorts."

Xiao Ning lowered his head: "It's nothing, I'm sorry, Coach He, I'll get into the zone quickly."

"You need to know how many people want to go to the Yale Games. How can you expect to get a good ranking in your current condition?"

It's often said that you should just do your best in competitive sports, but that's just a nice way of putting it. The overall performance of athletes affects the allocation of funds to the unit, performance bonuses, and who the coaching staff sends – all in the name of winning a place. Every single spot is important.

After training, I returned to my dormitory.

Xiao Ning tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Yao Feiran said, "Sister Ning, the person you walked with last time was your boyfriend, right?"

"Um."

"Did you two have a fight?"

"no."

Seeing that Xiao Ning didn't want to talk about it, Yao Feiran didn't press her further. Just as she was about to take out the holographic game to play, Xiao Ning suddenly said, "My boyfriend is a military officer. His family is all military. We both grew up in a military compound. I was selected for a sports school and later joined the national team. Because of work, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

A large compound? That means they're the children of military personnel.

"Childhood sweethearts, that's great."

"He felt that I wouldn't achieve any significant results anyway, and we rarely saw each other. My family was also urging me to get married, but I felt it would be difficult to focus on training after I got married."

"You're only 20 years old, what's the rush? The peak of sprinting is around this age. You've improved a lot in training before, trained for so many years, worked so hard, and taken so many steps. Are you going to give up at the last step?"

"But I can't bear to part with him."

"It's up to you to choose. If you give up your career and become his wife, since he's a soldier, he can't help you much. You'll be responsible for taking care of the children and so on. Your life will revolve around your family. If that's the life you want, then give it up."

Yao Feiran didn't like this kind of life, but everyone has their own ambitions and choices, so she didn't try to persuade her further.

Xiao Ning fell silent, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The next day was intense training, and Yao Feiran was afraid she would die from overwork, so she gave her an energy pill.

However, Xiao Ning seemed to be training much more seriously, which relieved He Yonghui.

As a sparring partner, Yao Feiran's training volume is not that high, and the coaching team's focus is currently on the athletes going to the Ya'an Games.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Ning became more and more cheerful and trained harder, as if he had figured something out.

On Sunday afternoon, when she had a half-day off, Yao Feiran went out to look for Yao Gulian, only to find a familiar man at the door.

He was Xiao Ning's boyfriend. Yao Feiran remembered him because the two looked somewhat alike.

"Hello, Comrade Yao, this is Zhao Yexing, Xiao Ning's boyfriend. I can't get in touch with her; she hasn't replied to my messages in a long time."

We still live in an era of letter writing.

Yao Feiran said calmly, "I will tell her."

She often mentioned you, saying you were very outstanding.

Yao Feiran gave a formal smile: "Thank you. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Could you help me persuade her? Our elders at home also hope that we can get married soon."

"Comrade, do you like Sister Ning?"

Zhao Yexing was taken aback, not understanding why she asked that: "Of course I like her."

"If you like her, shouldn't you support her career? She's doing something that brings honor to the country, so why force her to give it up?"

Zhao Yexing frowned slightly, unsure of what to say for a moment. After a while, his voice turned cold: "She has no talent and hasn't achieved much success over the years. Persistence doesn't necessarily lead to good results. It's better to make a better choice. I haven't made her give up her career. She can be assigned a job even if she goes with the military."

"Who said she has no talent? You're belittling your girlfriend like that? If she wasn't strong, how could she have been selected for the national team and become a key player? Besides, sprinting only has a few years of peak performance. You can wait for her for a few years. If you can't even wait that long, I think your affection for Sister Ning is too shallow. Everything you do is for yourself."

"Comrade Yao, if you really care about Xiao Ning, you shouldn't say that. I am his best choice."

"You're really confident."

There was no point in arguing, and Yao Feiran was too lazy to listen to him. She figured his affection probably meant controlling Xiao Ning's life, and he thought he was doing her a favor.

She turned and left.

A few months later, Xiao Ning won a silver medal in the 100 meters and a gold medal in the 200 meters at the Ya'an Games, which is the best result for the women's Ya'an Games in recent years.

This time, the TV station broadcast it live, and she stood on the podium, accepting the cheers of the crowd.

After returning, she became much more confident and treated Yao Feiran to a meal.

Xiao Ning said with a smile, "I broke up with him. He was the one who initiated it."

"Yes, Sister Ning will get better and better."
