The male supporting character was actually myself.

Judging from the fact that he arranged a school for his illegitimate child, it is clear that he received a great deal of private assistance.

Ah Chen is right.

This kind of hidden danger cannot be left outside to develop; it will inevitably lead to a confrontation sooner or later. It's better to bring it home early, as it will be easier to deal with.

And he could also gain some favor with his father first, thus lowering his guard.

Su Ziqing truly felt sorry for her mother.

My father had nothing at the beginning. After getting married and moving into his wife's family, he started his business by relying on his maternal grandfather's Su Group assets and connections.

Before my maternal grandparents passed away, they bequeathed all their property to my mother in a separate manner. Over the years, my mother has been in poor health but has been persevering.

Before she passed away, she bequeathed all her assets to herself, leaving behind her last words: "No matter what, the property must not fall into the hands of anyone other than my children!"

This was also the sentence her grandfather left for her before he passed away.

Less than a year after her mother's death, news broke that her father had an illegitimate child!

And that illegitimate child is only two months younger than him!

Fortunately, my maternal grandparents and mother made wise decisions.

He inherited the entire Su Group, which his maternal grandfather had built up; he also had a 50% inheritance right to the assets held by his father.

Therefore, the father didn't dare to openly bring the illegitimate child back. This was simply because he was wary of the Su Group, which he controlled nine-tenths of the company.

Su Ziqing took a deep breath, shifted to a more comfortable position, and said with some worry, "If we bring Su Li back now, there will be some trouble."

"What trouble? Don't worry, my dear daughter, Daddy will handle it." Su Minghe said casually in his excitement, then realized he had blurted it out and quickly tried to make amends, "Tell me first."

Su Ziqing suppressed her displeasure and hesitated before saying, "It is true that Su Li is your biological son."

But after so many years of wandering and growing up in such places, we know nothing about their personality and character.

When the news about him first broke, I strongly opposed it because I felt the timing was too coincidental.

Uncle Luo was just in Sugar Land to handle company business, so how did he happen to run into a teenager in a city of millions of people?

He also happened to fall to the ground, dropping the ring you gave him.

Even Uncle Luo didn't notice the ring at first. It was Su Li who went so far as to stop the car and make a scene demanding compensation, waving the ring in front of Uncle Luo for a long time.

She repeatedly cried and played the victim, recounting how you gave her the ring, which eventually caught Uncle Luo's attention.

Dad, you must have been excited to hear the news that your son is missing, so you didn't think about it too much.

Isn't all of this too much of a coincidence?

From this, it seems that Su Li is quite scheming.

He was probably taught by his mother; you know those kinds of people are the best at sowing discord and using underhanded tactics.

I'm worried that Su Li, at such a young age, hasn't learned anything good and might have poor character.

Hearing his daughter say this, Su Minghe frowned slightly.

Chapter Four: What kind of mischievous thoughts could a cat possibly have?

He had heard Lao Luo tell him about finding his son, but he was so immersed in the joy of having a son that he hadn't really thought about it much.

Looking back on the whole process now, he doesn't believe it's not scripted or pre-arranged!

Those in positions of power are always suspicious, especially Su Minghe, who rose through the ranks from a son-in-law to a wife's husband, making him even more sensitive to schemes and traps.

Thus, a seed of estrangement was successfully planted between the father and son.

"I was originally planning to observe Su Li for a few years to determine his character, but in the last six months, the rumors that had subsided have started to show signs of getting out of control."

Su Ziqing continued her analysis: "What I'm worried about is that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Our Su Group is ultimately a large tree that attracts attention, so we should be careful.

I was thinking of bringing Su Li back first.

Let's see how he performs first, and then give him a small company to practice at after graduation.

Actually, I'm quite tired managing the businesses my mother left behind. If this younger brother is reliable, he will inherit your assets in the future.

My brother and I can support each other and help the Su Group reach new heights!

"Good! Good idea!" Su Minghe was overjoyed that his daughter was so sensible. He couldn't hide his smile and took her hand, saying earnestly, "My dear daughter, your idea is excellent!"

"If Su Li is a capable person, I'll be at ease knowing that you two siblings support each other."

Su Ziqing felt a pang of sadness, took a deep breath to suppress it, and then slightly changed the subject, "I've heard some rumors these past few days, so I had someone go to the school to check, and this afternoon I also invited the young master of the Chu family to come and ask him."

Su Li...

She actually got involved with that Du Xinyu, and even went so far as to confront Young Master Chu, making things very awkward for him.

Dad, you need to teach him properly in this regard. It's fine to talk about love, but he can't have a pretty face.

As a potential future leader of the group, one's spouse must be of equal social standing!

"Du Xinyu? Young Master Chu? Is that the sycophant Chu Jiangchen?" Su Minghe immediately frowned, as he had heard quite a few rumors.

How could her own son get involved with her?

"What do you mean by 'simp'? That's a really harsh way to put it." Su Ziqing said with a hint of displeasure, "I asked them to come over and get all the details clearly."

As you know, the Chu family has no background or foundation; their current prosperity is entirely due to the hard work of the couple.

They naturally paid less attention to Chu Jiangchen.

He was simply kind-hearted; he encountered that girl in a poor mountain village who was being treated like cattle by her family. Chu Shao thought that spending a little money could change someone's fate, and it would be a good deed, so he brought her back.

You've heard how good Chu Shao has been to her these past few years, haven't you?

However, after Du Xinyu got on this bus, she showed no gratitude whatsoever. After making enough money and learning Su Li's identity, she immediately went to get close to him.

The two of them were spending Chu Shao's money and getting very intimate, and the whole school knew about it!

You mean, can our family accept a scheming woman who is ungrateful and uses men to climb the social ladder?

Moreover, Du Xinyu is nothing but Chu Shao's plaything, yet she came to our family to be our young mistress. Isn't that just giving others something to laugh at?

Add to that the girl who changed her name to Du Xinyu, back in her hometown she still has parents who favor sons over daughters, four brothers who never went to school, and a whole bunch of distant relatives.

Who knows how things will turn out in the future…

"What a shallow-minded brat!" Su Minghe muttered, pinching his brow.

Su Ziqing clenched her fists tightly and then relaxed them, feeling extremely resentful. She continued to suggest, "Su Li has too many problems."

So I thought we should postpone the ceremony.

Let him move in directly, and then I'll invite our friends in the circle to a gathering in my name. You'll be in charge, and I'll introduce him to everyone.

Once all these troubles have subsided and he's managed the company smoothly, we can hold a family reunion ceremony. Wouldn't that be a happy ending for everyone?

Otherwise, if someone is indeed pulling the strings behind these events, then by directly acknowledging Su Li, we'll have no way out.

Dad, what do you think?

"Qingqing, you've grown up and become more sensible. You're very thoughtful and considerate of the big picture." Su Minghe smiled with satisfaction. "Dad thinks your suggestion is excellent. Let's do it this way."

You'll be in charge of the gathering. Once the time is set, Dad will invite some elders to help you keep things in order!

The father and daughter's late-night conversation ended quickly.

After Su Ziqing returned to her room, Su Minghe's smile faded, and he made a phone call. "Go and investigate Su Li's specific situation. I need to know every detail, from childhood to adulthood."

He put down the phone and took a sip of his slightly cool tea.

I am very satisfied with the current situation.

Since Su Li didn't grow up by my side, and I don't know what kind of character she is, it's a wise decision not to acknowledge her for now.

If he doesn't have management talent, I really can't bear to hand over the business I built up to him and let him ruin it. It would be better to let him get married and have children as soon as possible, and personally train his grandson to be his successor.

During this period, with his daughter personally managing and overseeing things, he felt quite at ease.

As soon as Su Ziqing returned to her room, she sent Chu Jiangchen a message: Next Friday, my family's suburban manor, everything is arranged!

When Jiang Chen received the message, he was teaching Xiaobai how to play games on a tablet.

It's so much fun playing with one system per person!

"Meow! I'm so happy right now!" Little White's two fluffy little paws were tapping rapidly on the tablet, practically bubbling with happiness. "The system next door complains to me every day, saying that its host refuses to do tasks, and it's driving me crazy."

My host is incredibly skilled, and even taught me how to play games! I'm so happy!

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Didn't you say there would be no chance of rebirth if the mission wasn't completed?"

“That’s true, but missions usually don’t have a time limit.” Little White didn’t look up and replied in a loli voice, “Its host was quite proactive in doing missions in the first two worlds.”

It's probably because the script was too tragic and frustrating.

The host then started to give up and indulge in eating, drinking and having fun every day, and shamelessly said that it doesn't matter where you live. Since you can eat well and drink well in the mission world, you can enjoy it slowly. Why do you have to go back to the original world and suffer?

Oh, by the way, that host died from overwork...

Halfway through her sentence, Xiaobai suddenly stopped pawing at Jiang Chen, looked up at him with a slightly frightened expression, and asked, "You...you won't give up on yourself like him, right?"

"Speaking of which..." Jiang Chen said thoughtfully, "Which world is the real one?"

The world I live in might just be another dimension where someone else is doing their missions.

And in this so-called mission world, there are living, breathing people.

How can one clearly distinguish between reality and illusion?

Don't worry, I won't slack off.

Having received the promise, Little White patted its heart with its fluffy little paws. "Dear host, you must remember your promise! Our system also has assessments, and those who fail will be destroyed!"

What bad intentions could a cat possibly have? The cat is terrified of being destroyed.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, picked up the script, glanced at it, and was immediately stunned. "Wait a minute, how did the plot change?"

Chapter 5, time for another quest!

Little White peeked out from his arms, then waved its little paws, "Don't worry, it's just the mission world repairing itself."
