The male supporting character was actually myself.

That's why we broke up today.

Sitting on the bus, recalling what Chu Jiangchen had said, Su Li clenched her fists angrily. It turned out that she had planned this all along!

I got closer to him after Chu Jiangchen told me about his background!

She was just looking for a stepping stone.

She could use her own departure from Chu Jiangchen, who knew the truth, and she could also use the contrast between Chu Jiangchen and herself to highlight the greatness of her so-called pursuit of true love.

If Chu Jiangchen hadn't said so many things without thinking, she would probably still be immersed in being moved, and might even continue to use the money she got from Chu Jiangchen to improve her life.

After returning to the Su family, he naturally couldn't bear to see Du Xinyu, who had shared hardships and pursued true love, suffer any more grievances.

That's quite a clever plan!

Fortunately, she saw through her scheme.

Su Li's gaze turned gloomy. The thought of Chu Jiangchen and the others using his background as gossip filled him with hatred.

Money and power, I, Su Li, will definitely seize them, and then make those who once looked down on me and whom I hated regret ever being born!

........................

"Have you heard? Du Xinyu is actually a country bumpkin from the mountains! She's always so arrogant, but it turns out she even had to pay to get into the school!"

"What a pity for Chu Jiangchen, who was so devoted to her. He's tall, handsome, rich, and academically excellent. How could he have chosen such a gold digger as his goddess?"

"He was treated like a precious treasure, but as soon as Du Xinyu hooked up with Su Li, he immediately dumped her!"

"I heard she made several million in cash. Even if she dumps Chu Jiangchen, she still has money to squander."

"Su Li is an illegitimate child of the Su family! If we acknowledge him as our son, Su Li will be much richer than Chu Jiangchen!"

"Poor Chu Jiangchen. She was brought from a mountain village and raised for four years at such a high cost. Just when she finally became beautiful and elegant, she was dumped..."

……

The gossip spread throughout the entire school early the next morning.

Chu Jiangchen took leave from class and let the incident escalate, putting some public pressure on Du Xinyu and Su Li.

As the male lead, Su Li possessed significantly more of a protagonist's aura than Du Xinyu. He wasn't stupid; how could he not realize he'd been tricked?

So he's currently feeling very angry and won't take the initiative to contact Du Xinyu;

Du Xinyu, on the other hand, cared more about her reputation. She was definitely afraid of being pointed at and criticized. In addition, without those famous teachers to tutor her, she couldn't keep up with the course at all, and within a few days, she would be unable to keep up at school.

With the male and female leads temporarily suppressed, he, the best supporting actor, finally has time to make his plans!

Jiang Chen didn't want to have to follow the established procedures and live such a frustrating supporting role life after transmigrating.

If he wants to turn the tide, he needs to carefully study the script.

"Host is amazing! You've worked so hard to study your role, you'll definitely complete the mission perfectly!" Little White squatted on the big, comfortable bed, nodded with satisfaction, and began to squint and make soft purring sounds.

[Mission: Help Su Li return to the Su family and remove obstacles. Reward: One-time use C-grade item.]

The system suddenly gave a new instruction. Xiaobai stretched lazily and patiently explained, "Please use your charm to guide Su Ziqing, the only daughter of the Su family, to accept her illegitimate younger brother, Su Li."

"A new mission so soon?" Jiang Chen's lips curled up as he got out of bed and grabbed a piece of clothing. "Let's go see the love-struck, villainous female supporting character who's my scene partner."

Su Ziqing, the only daughter of the Su family.

In the story, she is a decisive and talented eldest daughter of the Su family. But whenever she encounters the protagonist, she immediately becomes a villainous supporting character, her intelligence seemingly sapped.

She always tries to drive Su Li out of the Su family with some stupid and ineffective schemes. But each time, the cunning male lead easily thwarts them, and even more forcefully humiliates her.

After several such incidents, Su Ziqing was rejected by her patriarchal father and deprived of her right to inherit the Su family's property; the portion of her deceased mother's inheritance that she held in her hands was also quickly annexed by Su Li through a scheme.

Ultimately, she was abandoned by everyone and fell into Du Xinyu's trap, ending up in prison for attempted murder.

The male and female leads are a slut and a dog, destined to be together forever;

Chu Jiangchen and Su Ziqing are cannon fodder supporting characters who start strong but end weakly, their efforts to send money and kill others to become stepping stones for the male and female leads' success.

In the story, Su Ziqing also has a ridiculous character trait—she's obsessed with love!

She was infatuated with Chu Jiangchen, who was a year younger than her, and obeyed him without question.

Whenever Chu Jiangchen appears, Su Ziqing's IQ immediately drops to negative numbers, no less than Chu Jiangchen's unconditional and crazy swooning over Du Xinyu in the past.

As per the original plot, Chu Jiangchen gracefully withdrew to allow the "pure and great" love between the male and female leads to be fulfilled.

He also agreed to Du Xinyu's request and used his influence over Su Ziqing to persuade her to accept Su Li.

As expected, the task given by the system was the important plot framework.

"It's my time to shine again, cannon fodder male supporting character!" As soon as Jiang Chen parked the car, a staff member stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Young Master Chu, this way please. My young lady is already waiting for you."

Upon entering the living room, the first thing that caught my eye was the pair of fair and slender legs that the original owner remembered.

Su Ziqing wore a deep red short skirt, which made her skin look even more like jade.

Her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, giving her a lazy look and lacking the usual strong, capable demeanor.

With her delicate oval face and slightly upturned peach blossom eyes, she exuded a shyness and charm unique to young women. She was an elegant yet alluring mature woman!

Jiang Chen couldn't help but marvel at the power of the female lead's halo.

Having such a stunning beauty by your side, you don't know how to cherish her, but instead fawn over a hypocritical, manipulative woman.

"Ah Chen doesn't have class today?" Su Ziqing made no attempt to hide the adoration in her eyes, even being bold and slightly flamboyant. Her tone was gentle yet tinged with a hint of resentment. "You usually only care about your Xin'er, it's rare for you to come here on your own initiative."

Jiang Chen sat down opposite her and smiled, "Sister Ziqing, you're joking. Du Xinyu and I have already severed ties and will have no further contact in the future."

"Hmm?" Su Ziqing's eyes lit up immediately. "Draw a line? What happened between you two?"

"They're all trivial matters." Jiang Chen waved his hand casually, changing the subject. "I'm here today for Sister Ziqing's important life event. Would you like to hear about it?"

Chapter Three: Sowing Discord

The reception room of the Su family manor was empty.

Little White lay on the sofa, its big, dark blue eyes fixed on the games on the tablet, its little paws busy at work.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen and Su Ziqing came downstairs.

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: [Help Su Li return to the Su family and clear obstacles.] Mission reward: A one-time C-grade item has been delivered to your storage space." Little White immediately jumped onto Jiang Chen's shoulder, excitedly reporting the good news, "Host is truly amazing! You always complete missions quickly and well!"

The soft, fluffy little white ball of fur felt deeply gratified. What could be cuter than a host who was diligently and earnestly completing their mission?

Compared to the other system that constantly tries to persuade its host, who is prone to causing trouble and throwing tantrums, to cooperate, this system is much less of a worry.

You can take a nap or play games, and just sit back and wait for the host to complete the task and win effortlessly. Life is so wonderful!

Jiang Chen smiled and said goodbye to Su Ziqing, "Sister Ziqing, I'll wait for your news."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." She nodded, her long, smooth hair cascading down her fair and slender neck, adding a touch of gentle charm to her appearance.

As she watched the other car drive away from the manor, the smile on Su Ziqing's face gradually faded.

She casually pulled her long hair up, and her gentle and charming demeanor was quickly replaced by a decisive and shrewd one.

Su Ziqing sat on the sofa and pondered for a moment before taking out her phone and dialing a number. "Dad, when do you have time? I'd like to talk to you."

She then turned her gaze to the tablet computer, which was still displaying the mini-game page, and frowned slightly.

Honestly, I get so distracted whenever I see Ah Chen that I didn't even realize I opened the wrong page just now.

She casually clicked exit and went to her work page to carefully process the files in her email.

………………

10 PM, Su Family Manor.

Having changed into silk pajamas, Su Ziqing was completely free of her usual pretense, serving her father, Su Minghe, a cup of tea like a casual and charming little girl.

"My dear daughter, just ask if you need anything. Dad loves you the most and will definitely do whatever you want!" Su Minghe, who had changed into casual clothes, also shed his CEO's sternness and revealed his kind fatherly side.

However, a flicker of uncertainty crossed his slightly sinister eyes as he spoke.

"Dad, I want to talk to you about Su Li's problem." Su Ziqing picked up a cup of tea and sat down opposite her father.

Mentioning Su Li, Su Minghe's expression remained unchanged, his gaze fixed on his daughter as he awaited her response.

With a solemn expression, she slowly said, "Now that you've done a paternity test and confirmed that Su Li is your son, for the sake of the Su family's reputation, it's time to bring him back."

After all, there's been so much gossip lately, it's really affecting our family."

"Oh? Bring him back?" Su Minghe was clearly surprised.

He dreamed of having a son to carry on the family line and inherit the family fortune. But his wife only gave birth to a daughter, and afterwards her health deteriorated until her death.

He kept mistresses outside, none of whom were any good, and none of them had been able to give him a child over the years.

Ironically, the prostitute I randomly picked back then gave birth to a son!

He only found out two years ago.

Unfortunately, before his death, his wife left all her property to their daughter, and Su Ziqing indeed inherited their business acumen, managing the company very well at the young age of nineteen.

To take back the illegitimate child, the daughter must agree.

Otherwise, the nominal Su Group would be split up by Su Ziqing, and the share held by her would be the lion's share!

Su Minghe wanted to acquire the entire Su Group;

He also wanted to bring his son back to take over the business;

Before catching the "rabbit," Su Minghe didn't want to let go of his daughter, the "flying eagle." Therefore, after considering various factors, Su Minghe remained inactive, quietly sponsoring Su Li's admission to the best university, waiting for the right time to bring him back.

did not expect……

My daughter actually brought this up on her own initiative!

After the initial surprise came overwhelming joy, but the change in expression lasted only a moment before his kind smile returned.

"My dear daughter, I'm so sorry about this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Ziqing raised her hand to interrupt, "Dad, let's not dwell on right and wrong in the past. The most important thing now is to protect the reputation of our Su family."

In the moment of Su Minghe's momentary loss of composure, the clever and quick-witted Su Ziqing had already understood.

Anger burned within her!

Ah Chen was right. His father had long hoped to bring that illegitimate son back, but he was wary of the wealth he possessed, so he never mentioned it.
