Who's going to be the female lead's simp? Aren't the supporting female characters mor

Chu Xuan jumped out of the car, shirtless, wearing only a studded leather jacket that revealed his lean chest, and carrying a baseball bat in his hand, looking like a gangster going to collect protection money.

"Who are those people in room 602? Get down here, you bastards!" Chu Xuan roared, pointing at the upstairs window. "Trying to bully my woman? Don't you even know who I am?!"

It was lunchtime, and the area downstairs was full of students carrying takeout orders.

Upon seeing this, people stopped to watch and pointed.

Li Yan had just brought out two portions of fried rice from the cafeteria when he saw this scene and was so amused that he almost spilled the rice on the ground.

He hid behind the crowd, took out his phone and snapped a couple of pictures, then sent them to Bai Jingyou.

[Li Yan: Boss, come quick! Backup number two, Young Master Chu, is online and going crazy downstairs at the girls' dormitory. Is this guy not quite right in the head?]

Bai Jingyou replied instantly with an "Mm".

At this moment, Lin Ruyu had changed into a white dress that looked delicate but actually accentuated her figure, and she jogged downstairs.

Seeing Chu Xuan's impressive display, she didn't feel ashamed at all; on the contrary, she felt incredibly proud.

That's what you call grandeur.

"Chu Xuan, let it go..." Lin Ruyu ran to Chu Xuan's side, gently tugged at his sleeve, her eyes red-rimmed, "We're all classmates, don't make a big fuss, it's okay for me to suffer a little grievance."

This move, a strategic retreat, brought Chu Xuan's anger to its peak.

"Feeling wronged? With me here, no one will let you suffer!" Chu Xuan pulled Lin Ruyu into his arms, glancing around. "Where are those guys who were cursing earlier? Cowards? They dare to do it but not admit it?"

The surrounding chatter grew louder, mostly from people who were just watching a monkey show.

Just then, a petite figure carrying several thick professional books struggled to squeeze through the gaps in the crowd.

Feng Ling wasn't wearing that elaborate Lolita dress today. Instead, she wore a simple white T-shirt and denim overalls, with her hair in pigtails. With her youthful, doll-like face, she looked like a middle school student.

She had no idea what had happened and just wanted to get back to her dorm to put away her books.

Lin Ruyu had sharp eyes and recognized the face at a glance.

The owner of that multi-million dollar Maybach.

That little devil who calls out for her dad but rides in a luxury car.

With both old and new grudges, plus the anger he had just suffered in the dormitory, he instantly found an outlet.

"Oh." Lin Ruyu suddenly raised her voice, released Chu Xuan, crossed her arms, took two steps forward, and blocked Feng Ling's path. "Isn't this the young lady who was just riding in the Maybach? What, she's been brought back so quickly?"

Feng Ling paused, looking up at the beautiful woman who was half a head taller than her, somewhat confused: "Excuse me, are you talking to me?"

"Stop pretending to be innocent." Lin Ruyu sneered, looking Feng Ling up and down at her ordinary attire. "You were dropped off in that Maybach at the school gate, right? That guy looks pretty old, is he your sugar daddy? Or some rich guy?"

An uproar erupted around them.

Such scandalous news spreads fastest on universities.

"What, didn't your sugar daddy buy you an apartment outside? You have to come back and squeeze into a dorm with poor students like us?" Lin Ruyu's voice was sharp, every word piercing to the heart. "That's right, someone like you who gets ahead by relying on your looks, it'll probably only be interesting for a couple of days. Once he gets tired of you, he won't waste that money."

Although Feng Ling is naive, she is not stupid.

She understood the profanity, and her face instantly turned bright red.

"You're talking nonsense!" Feng Ling's voice trembled with anger. "That's my father! My own father!"

"His biological father?" Lin Ruyu looked back at Chu Xuan as if she had heard a joke. "Chu Xuan, listen to this! They can even make up excuses like this nowadays. What kind of father drives a Maybach while his daughter wears cheap clothes from Taobao?"

Although Chu Xuan felt it was beneath him to bully a young girl, since the goddess had spoken, he had to stand up for himself.

He stepped forward, blocking Feng Ling's path like a wall, weighing the baseball bat in his hand: "Hey, newbie? Pretty tough, huh? When Xiaoyu talks to you, just listen to her properly, why all the nonsense?"

Startled, Feng Ling took a step back, nearly dropping the book she was holding.

Having been protected like a hothouse flower by Feng Rui all her life, she had never seen such a thuggish scene before.

"Move aside... I need to go back to my dorm." Feng Ling's eyes were filled with tears, and she stubbornly bit her lip to keep the tears from falling.

"Go back to the dorm? You think you can just leave without apologizing for offending Xiaoyu?" Chu Xuan bent down menacingly, his face close to Feng Ling's. "Believe me, I can make sure you can't stay at Haicheng University anymore with just one word. Even your godfather who drives a Maybach can't protect you!"

Li Yan, watching from a distance, was dumbfounded and quickly sent a voice message to Bai Jingyou: "Holy crap, boss! Chu Xuan's gone mad! He's stalking a freshman girl, and it seems to be the one Lin Ruyu was jealous of who drives the Maybach. Does this guy have a death wish?"

On the other end of the phone, Bai Jingyou, who was reading a book, paused.

Maybach? A new beginning?

Feng Rui's daughter, Feng Ling.

Bai Jingyou couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Even the phrase "enemies meet on a narrow road" doesn't quite capture the magnitude of this coincidence.

In the original story, Chu Xuan stood up for Lin Ruyu, which caused Feng Ling to become depressed and drop out of school, and that's how he ended up meeting Feng Rui.

I never imagined that even though the plot of this life has changed, the pace of courting death hasn't slowed down at all.

"Keep watching," Bai Jingyou replied with three words. "Someone will take care of him."

The atmosphere downstairs in the dormitory was tense.

Feng Ling was surrounded by a group of people, looking like a frightened little rabbit.

Lin Ruyu stood aside watching the show, and the twisted pleasure in her heart was greatly satisfied.

See? Even without Gao Beining, as long as she beckons, there are still people willing to step on an ant for her.

"I'll say it one last time, apologize." Chu Xuan felt he was establishing his authority, raising his voice eight octaves. "Otherwise, I'll make your father famous right now!"

"Chu Xuan."

A clear, cold voice suddenly broke in; it wasn't loud, but it was extremely penetrating.

It's like pouring a ladle of ice water into a boiling oil pan.

The crowd automatically parted to form a path.

Jiang Mengyao, dressed in a well-tailored beige trench coat and low-heeled shoes, walked in unhurriedly.

She didn't look at Lin Ruyu, nor at the thugs around her, and walked straight to Feng Ling's side.

She reached out and took the heavy book from Feng Ling's arms, gently patted the little girl's trembling shoulder, and handed her a tissue.

Then, she turned around and looked at Chu Xuan calmly.

That look wasn't anger or contempt, but a condescending scrutiny, like looking at a naughty child who doesn't know any better.

"Outside the girls' dormitory, you led a group of thugs to intimidate freshmen." Jiang Mengyao said in a nonchalant tone, "Is this the kind of upbringing your Chu family has? If Uncle Chu knew you were giving him face like this, I wonder if he'd be so angry that he'd cancel all your credit cards."

Chu Xuan's face froze instantly.

He fears nothing but the loss of his bank card at home.

Moreover, there is a hierarchy of contempt within Haicheng's social circles.

The Gao family has fallen, the Bai family is keeping a low profile, and the Jiang family is definitely in the top tier.

As the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Mengyao's words carried far more weight than those of him, a spoiled brat who had just returned from abroad.

"This...it's a misunderstanding." Chu Xuan's imposing manner instantly diminished, and he hid the baseball bat behind his back. "This girl was the one who said the first thing, making Xiaoyu angry..."

"Feng Ling is my friend," Jiang Mengyao interrupted him, giving him no chance to explain. "She's also a junior I've specifically looked after."

This one sentence directly elevated Feng Ling's status to an equal, or even higher, position than Chu Xuan.

Lin Ruyu's face turned pale.

She never expected that this seemingly unsophisticated girl would actually know Jiang Mengyao.

"Jiang Mengyao, mind your own business," Lin Ruyu said, forcing a smile. "This is a personal matter between her and me..."

Jiang Mengyao didn't even glance at her, as if she were talking to thin air.

She simply stared at Chu Xuan, her voice slightly colder: "Apologize to Feng Ling. Now."

No room for argument.

Chu Xuan's face turned a deep liver color.

How can he apologize to a little girl in front of so many people? How will he ever be able to face the world again?

"That's unnecessary..."

"Do you want me to call your dad now, or do you want to handle it yourself?" Jiang Mengyao took out her phone.

Chu Xuan chickened out.

He was truly scared.

After all, offending the Bai family had already caused the Chu family to suffer greatly.

If we run into the Jiang family again, something really bad might happen.

He gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at Feng Ling, and then muttered reluctantly, "I'm sorry, okay?"

Having said that, he felt too ashamed to stay any longer, so he pulled up Lin Ruyu, whose face was ashen, and said, "Let's go!"

The Ferrari roared away, looking more like a hasty retreat than its previous arrogance.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Feng Ling sniffed, looked at Jiang Mengyao, and whispered, "Thank you, sister... Actually, I don't know them..."

"I know." Jiang Mengyao patted her head, her eyes softening. "Stay away from that guy from now on, he's a mad dog. Also, if you're wronged, tell your dad, okay?"

Feng Ling nodded obediently.

Li Yan, who was not far away, took a picture of this scene and sent it to Bai Jingyou.

[Li Yan: School Beauty Jiang makes a powerful save! That grandson Chu Xuan immediately cowers. But boss, just who is this little girl? Even School Beauty Jiang is protecting her?]

Bai Jingyou looked at the screen and closed the book.

What's their background?

That's a force capable of uprooting the Chu family completely.

Chu Xuan's kick hit a steel plate.

And it's the thorny kind.

"Don't worry about it." Bai Jingyou chuckled into the phone. "Let Chu Xuan run wild for two more days. After all, this is his last bit of revelry."

Bai Jingyou sat by the window, sunlight streaming onto the pages of his book, but he wasn't reading.

The phone screen was lit up. In the photo Li Yan had sent, Feng Ling looked like a frightened little quail, surrounded by Chu Xuan and his group.

He tapped the screen and forwarded the photo to Feng Rui.

Without any unnecessary words, he simply added: "Mr. Feng, your daughter doesn't seem to be having a good time at school."

Less than three seconds after the message was sent, and before Bai Jingyou had even turned a page of the book in his hand, Feng Rui's phone call came in.

Bai Jingyou got up, walked to the end of the corridor, and pressed the answer button.

"Young Master Bai." Feng Rui's voice was unreadable, but a suppressed, low tone crept through the receiver like the low pressure before a storm. "Who is that kid in the leather jacket in the photo?"

"Chu Xuan." Bai Jingyou leaned against the windowsill, looking at the bustling students downstairs. "The only son of the Chu family in Haicheng. He just returned to the country and has a rather fiery temper."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"The Chu family?" Feng Rui seemed to search his memory for the name, and after a long while, he let out a sneer. "That old Chu who started out in the building materials business? The one who was begging to get on Hongye's supplier list a couple of years ago?"

"Exactly."

"Understood." Feng Rui's tone remained calm, but that calmness sent chills down one's spine. "I'll handle this. Thank you, Young Master Bai."

"You're too kind. Your daughter has been frightened; it would be best if Mr. Feng comforted her first."

The phone hangs up.

Bai Jingyou put away his phone and looked out the window at the tree branches swaying in the wind.

It seems the Chu family is about to be uprooted.

Feng Rui is protective of his own and holds grudges.

If you offend his heart and soul, you'll be severely punished, if not killed.
