The male supporting character was actually myself.

"I'm sorry, Xin'er... It's all Xin'er's fault. If Young Master Chu wants revenge, then come at Xin'er. This has nothing to do with Young Master Su!" Du Xinyu wiped away her tears and sobbed.

The onlookers couldn't help but chuckle.

Even now, Du Xinyu still can't figure out the situation.

If she just apologizes honestly and goes to the side, who will pay attention to her?

Using underhanded tactics here will only make you a laughingstock!

"Heh..." Su Ziqing sneered and glanced at her. "That's a lot of self-aggrandizement. What is Young Master Chu's status? And what are you anyway!"

Why would someone need to retaliate against you?

Su Li, stay away from brainless people like this in the future. Brainlessness is contagious.

If you're going to keep learning these kinds of tricks, you'd better not get involved in the family business.

I'm afraid people will laugh at me to death if I go out!

Su Li glared at Du Xinyu, took a deep breath, and stepped back to create distance between them.

Du Xinyu's face immediately turned bright red, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.

"Since Young Master Su is drunk, let's just let this matter of making false accusations go." Chu Jiangchen smiled gently and said to Su Minghe, "I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know any better. Let's just talk things out."

Uncle Su, Sister Ziqing, it's understandable that Young Master Su is targeting me. After all, we only met because of Du Xinyu, but to frame me for her sake is truly unjust!

Since everyone is here today, I'll explain.

Du Xinyu was just a girl I met deep in the mountains of Dami Mountain while hiking.

She told me that her family favored boys over girls, beat and scolded her every day, and she was so hungry that she was skin and bones, dark and thin.

I felt sorry for her, so I went to her house to take a look.

The house was truly bare, without even a decent table or chair. She had a fight with her family and asked me to spend 20,000 yuan to save her life.

I figured if she stayed there, she'd either be beaten to death by her family or starve to death, or be sold to an even poorer man as a wife, and her life would be over.

It only costs a few tens of thousands of yuan to change a person's fate. I don't have to lose much, so why not?

So they gave her family 20,000 yuan to improve their lives, and brought her back to Jincheng to change her household registration and name.

After all, I brought her from the mountains. She never went to school and has no survival skills. I can't just leave her to fend for herself.

To be a good Samaritan, he took Du Xinyu in and provided her with various forms of education so she could adapt to city life and become independent in the future.

What girl doesn't dream of being a princess?

Perhaps my good intentions led Du Xinyu to misunderstand, thinking that I admired her beauty and that's why she rose to such a high position, and thus she became somewhat spoiled and arrogant.

It's also my fault for not reminding people or speaking out in time, which led to many people calling me a brainless sycophant and damaging my reputation.

Therefore, I, Chu Jiangchen, would like to take this opportunity to declare that I have no relationship with Du Xinyu. I simply want to help someone in need, nothing more.

I hope that Young Master Su will no longer treat me with hostility; we are not enemies.

"Xiao Chen is right!" Su Minghe said with a smile, trying to smooth things over. "Su Li, you should learn from her magnanimity! You are the same age, you should be friends, don't let a little misunderstanding cause such a big fuss."

Su Li was not disciplined well, and I will definitely strengthen my discipline in the future.

We hope that the elders can give him some pointers; and that his peers can interact with him more, broaden his horizons, and broaden his perspective so he won't be so foolish.

"That's natural!"

"Young Master Su, you're studying at Jincheng University, right? I'm a year ahead of you. Come visit me often!"

"Young people, who hasn't been impetuous at some point?"

"The Chu family children are really good people, kind and generous."

"Too bad I ran into an ingrate!"

……

Everyone obliged and helped to liven up the atmosphere, making the banquet hall lively again.

The cheerful music resumed playing;

Attendants moved among them, serving fine wine and delicacies;

The banquet attendees gathered in small groups to chat.

Su Ziqing took the opportunity to lead Su Li and Du Xinyu away from the hall;

With a gloomy face, Su Ming gave an instruction to the old butler and then left.

Jiang Chen sat on the sofa in the corner, bathed in the dim light, watching everyone's actions in the cheerful atmosphere.

"Host, what's the deal with that surveillance video?" Little White, who had been terrified and on edge, asked cautiously at this moment.

"I used the one-time C-grade item I got as a reward from the last mission." Jiang Chen chuckled and countered, "You were so busy playing games and eating desserts that you didn't even look at the rewards you received, did you?"

Xiao Bai lowered his head in shame.

It had indeed been living a life of leisure, eating, drinking, and playing, waiting to win without lifting a finger. Who told this host to be so easy on the system?

"That prop can modify the video content to some extent from the source. The limitation is ten minutes, and there cannot be any serious illegal acts."

"So, host, don't panic at all!" Xiaobai suddenly realized, then asked in confusion, "But... I feel like something's not right."

As the best supporting actor, you should be helping the male and female leads according to the script.

But they... seem to be getting worse and worse?

Especially the surveillance video; it made them lose face completely. Host, aren't you going a bit too far?"

Jiang Chen shifted into a more comfortable position and asked in return, "Du Xinyu took the initiative to invite me to the lakeside, didn't she?"

"Correct!"

"But what did they just say? They turned around and accused me of harassing her by asking her out and even trying to hug and kiss her, right?"

"Correct!"

"I do these tasks to give them time alone, to eliminate any barriers between them, and to do what's best for them, right?"

"Yup!"

"The mission is complete, and the barriers between them have been removed, right?"

"No problem, all of it is correct!"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "I tried my best to pave the way for them by completing tasks, but the male and female leads not only didn't appreciate it, but also turned around and set a trap to slander me."

I didn't try to hug or cuddle her; it was just that I used a slightly forceful method to help them overcome their misunderstanding.

Using props was simply to avoid being framed.

Was I wrong?

Little White was stunned for a while, then stroked its big ears with its little paws and pondered for a moment before firmly replying, "That's right! Good people shouldn't be allowed to be slandered. It's too unethical for the male and female leads to set traps to harm people. I support you!"

Chapter Ten: The Date

The banquet held by the Su family to welcome back their illegitimate son finally came to an end.

The first thing Jiang Chen did after waking up the next morning was to take out the script and check the plot.

After completing last night's mission, the mission world will definitely need to automatically repair the plot so that the male and female protagonists can rise again.

"Story update in progress..."

These words were boldly printed in the subsequent script.

Xiao Bai rubbed his eyes and realized he wasn't seeing things. He looked bewildered and muttered under his breath, "That's strange. Why is the automatic repair so troublesome this time? It's been all night, and it still hasn't updated..."

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that it was probably because he had messed up the male and female protagonists too badly while doing the mission.

To make the mission world coherent, a lot of modifications will probably have to be made.

"Xiao Bai, how long does it usually take to complete all the tasks?" he asked thoughtfully.

While rubbing his face with his furry little feet, Xiaobai mumbled, "Not necessarily, it depends on the plot."

In some mission worlds, the best supporting actor has to accompany the protagonist all the way to the finale, meaning the final mission only comes when the protagonist is almost old and dying.

In our current dimension...

Judging from the plot, the Best Supporting Actor role has to end before the protagonist reaches his peak.

Every penny you save now will be contributed to them in the future.

So don't be stingy with money, buy me more delicious food and fun things.

At the very least, we have to eat our fill!

I see...

Jiang Chen got up and washed up, while pondering to himself.

Should we let the protagonist fall into the abyss later, so that we can take the opportunity to have a romance or something?

After all, Su Ziqing, that beautiful and mature woman, is exactly my type; she's practically the dream girl made for me!

Thinking of this, he immediately called Su Ziqing.

"Huh? Ah Chen wants to go on a date with me?" She was both surprised and delighted on the other end of the phone. "But I have some things to take care of this morning. Won't 3 pm be too late?"

"It's not too late, I'll pick you up this afternoon."

Jiang Chen hung up the phone, hummed a song as she fixed her hair, and then put together an outfit for her date.

Transmigrating into the body of a rich, handsome, and successful man, and the person he likes happens to be even more infatuated with him—could there be a more satisfying storyline?

The only downside is the male and female leads who are always up to something; I wonder how the script has managed to fix itself...

At 3:00 PM, Jiang Chen, dressed in casual clothes and driving an ordinary car, parked his car at the entrance of the Su Family Manor.

"Ah Chen, why are you driving this car?"

On her first date with her sweetheart, Su Ziqing, dressed up meticulously, looked radiant.

A black and red long dress perfectly accentuated her stunning figure; her exposed swan neck, framed by long, straight black hair, was alluring.

Her skirt swayed, revealing glimpses of her snow-white ankles.
