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

As we drove out of the dilapidated tech park, the noise outside was shut out from inside the car.

"Young Master, Zhao Feng was just thrown out, and then President Bai contacted the legal department immediately." Chen Mo said, glancing at the rearview mirror while holding the steering wheel. "She's preparing to sue Zhao Feng for embezzlement and theft of trade secrets, and she's also applying for asset preservation. It seems she's already collected the evidence and is just waiting for the money to come in to start the legal proceedings."

Bai Jingyou flipped through the financial news on his tablet without looking up: "As expected."

Bai Qianqian in the original novel is this kind of ruthless character.

The reason Zhao Feng treated me like dirt before wasn't because I had no temper, but because I had no money.

Even a hero can be brought down by a penny, let alone a protracted commercial lawsuit.

The woman was like a fully drawn bow, holding her breath the whole time.

Now that he had handed her an arrow, she was naturally going to shoot it through the enemy's throat.

"Fifty million not only bought a promising stock, but also a good show." Bai Jingyou turned off the screen and looked at the street scene rushing past the window. "Zhao Feng thought he had won, but the code he took was already outdated in Bai Qianqian's mind. Now that she has funds, Bai Qianqian can not only make something better, but also send him to jail."

The feeling of using someone else to do the dirty work is indeed quite enjoyable.

……

Inside the office of Qianyu Technology.

The musty smell in the air seemed to have dissipated considerably, replaced by a kind of arrogance called capital.

Zhao Feng was held up by two security guards and thrown into the corridor like a dead dog.

His finger was swollen like a carrot, and he was wincing in pain; his earlier arrogance had long since vanished.

"Bai Qianqian! You wait! I'm not done with you yet!" he shouted from outside the door, but his voice lacked confidence.

Inside the office, Bai Qianqian stood by the window, holding the newly signed contract in her hand.

Hearing the shouting outside, she turned around, picked up the landline on the table, and pressed the intercom: "Notify administration to change the locks. Also, send Zhao Feng a lawyer's letter. Tell him that I didn't call the police before because of our entrepreneurial relationship, but now I'm going to make him return every penny he's taken."

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the room full of dumbfounded employees and clapped her hands.

"What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear what I just said?" Bai Qianqian's voice regained its usual crispness. "Salaries will be paid tomorrow, and any overdue bonuses will be doubled. Tech department, work through the night tonight. I need to see the new architecture within a week. Since you've taken the Bai family's money, don't embarrass them."

The employees looked at each other in surprise, then burst into cheers.

Bai Qianqian's lips curled up slightly, but her eyes were as cold as ice.

Zhao Feng, the real show has only just begun.

Do you think you can start anew just by stealing my code?

I'll show you that in this industry, talent is indeed important, but having connections is what truly matters.

……

Meanwhile, in the cramped rooms of budget hotels.

Lin Ruyu sat on the edge of the bed.

She was wearing that expensive Chanel suit, but now it was all wrinkled and looked like a rag.

The phone screen was lit up, displaying the three characters "Gao Beining".

This was her last hope.

That bastard Chen Hao went too far; not only did he suspend her credit card, but he also wanted to kick her out of the villa.

She can no longer go to the school; those who used to fawn over her now want to trample her to death.

She needs to find another job.

Although Gao Beining is a bit slow-witted and his family is strict with him, he is obedient.

All she has to do is snap her fingers and whine a few times, and that big, silly guy will definitely come running over to give her money and comfort, just like before.

The phone rang for a long time, so long that Lin Ruyu's heart almost turned cold.

Finally, the call connected.

"Beining!" Lin Ruyu cried out impatiently, her voice instantly switching to a trembling, tearful tone. "You finally answered the phone... I was so scared..."

She sniffed, tears welling up in her eyes. "I know I was wrong before. I shouldn't have gotten together with Chen Hao to spite you. But I was really forced into it! Chen Hao threatened me, saying that if I didn't agree to be his girlfriend, he would target the Gao family. I did it to protect you..."

She had rehearsed this line in her mind countless times.

She portrayed herself as a pure and innocent woman who endured humiliation and hardship, and shifted all the blame onto Chen Hao.

Anyway, Gao Beining, that simple-minded person, would definitely be moved to tears if he heard it was for him.

"Waaaaah... Chen Hao doesn't want me anymore, and he even had people spread rumors about me at school. Bei Ning, you're all I have now. Can you come pick me up? I'm so cold and hungry..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

There were no anxious inquiries as I had expected, nor that familiar "Baby, don't cry."

There was only deathly silence, with the occasional sound of pages turning.

Lin Ruyu's heart skipped a beat: "Beining? Are you listening?"

"Is the performance over?"

A deep, cold middle-aged male voice came from behind.

Lin Ruyu froze, her phone nearly slipping from her hand.

She recognized the voice all too well. Every time she attended a banquet at the Gao family's house, that man would always sit in the main seat and look at her with the same scrutinizing gaze one would give a piece of merchandise.

Gao Tianxiong.

The head of the Gao Group.

"Uncle Gao... Uncle Gao?" Lin Ruyu's voice trembled. "Why is it you... Where is Beining?"

"Beining?" Gao Tianxiong sneered. "That idiot is kneeling in the ancestral hall reflecting on his actions. To prevent him from being deceived by some shady women again, I'm keeping his phone safe now."

It's neither clean nor dry.

These four words were like a slap in the face to Lin Ruyu.

"Uncle, do you have some misunderstanding about him? Bei Ning and I are truly in love..."

"Alright, stop with your act." Gao Tianxiong interrupted her, his tone full of impatience. "Miss Lin, I'm a businessman. I don't like listening to stories; I only like doing business. Since you've called, that's fine. It saves me the trouble of calling you."

"What...what accounts?"

"Didn't you just say that you were with Chen Hao to protect Bei Ning?" Gao Tianxiong flipped through the documents in his hand, making a rustling sound. "But the bills I found show that before you started dating Chen Hao, you received a lot of money from my son under various pretexts."

"That was a gift from Beining..."

"From limited edition bags and jewelry to your various beauty and gym memberships, everything was paid for using my son's supplementary card." Gao Tianxiong's voice was completely flat, as if he were reading a dry financial statement. "I had someone calculate it, and the total amount over the past year and a half is 3,746,500 yuan."

Lin Ruyu's mind went blank.

"Uncle Gao, those were gifts, they were..."

"Ms. Lin, have you forgotten that Bei Ning used my supplementary credit card? He's using my money to support another man's girlfriend without any independent financial means. Do you know what that's called legally?" Gao Tianxiong's tone was chilling. "That's unjust enrichment. I've already commissioned a legal team to draft a lawyer's letter, which will be sent to your hometown tomorrow. You must repay the principal and interest within a week."

"Three...three million?" Lin Ruyu screamed. "Where would I get that much money?!"

Her cards have all been suspended, and she can't even scrape together three thousand yuan. Where is she going to get more than three million?

"That's your problem," Gao Tianxiong said coldly. "Whether you sell your bags or your body, I don't care. I'm only giving you one week. If you can't pay it back, you can expect to go to jail. The amount of fraud is huge; it's enough for you to spend ten years in there."

"Uncle Gao! You can't do this! I'm the person Beining loves most! If you do this, Beining will hate you to death!"

"Hate me?" Gao Tianxiong said as if he had heard a joke. "Wait until he sees those photos of you and Chen Hao, then we'll see if he hates me or hates himself for being blind."

"Beep—beep—"

The phone hangs up.

Lin Ruyu, clutching her scalding phone, collapsed to the ground.

Three million seven hundred and forty thousand.

That's an astronomical figure.

Gao Tianxiong is incredibly ruthless!

Shouldn't he be considering the Gao family's reputation?

Why would I argue with a young girl over such a small amount of money?

Fear overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.

Will I go to jail if I can't pay back my money?

How could Lin Ruyu go to jail?

That dark and damp place will ruin her life!

Just then, my phone vibrated again.

Lin Ruyu grabbed the number like it was a lifeline, and without even looking at it, answered it directly: "Uncle Gao! Please, give me a little more time, I..."

"Hey, isn't this our Haicheng's number one goddess? Why are you crying like a lost dog?"

The voice that came from the other end of the phone was not Gao Tianxiong's, but a hoarse, sinister male voice with a strong sense of mockery.

Lin Ruyu was stunned.

She would recognize that voice even if it turned to ashes.

Chu Xuan.

The ex-boyfriend who broke his leg for her, whose family was destroyed for her, and who was ultimately discarded by her like trash.

"Chu...Chu Xuan?" Lin Ruyu subconsciously shrank back. Even through the phone, she could feel the overwhelming hatred.

"What? Disappointed to hear my voice?" Chu Xuan laughed on the other end, his laughter somewhat neurotic. "Who did you call for help just now? Gao Beining? Or that Chen Hao who dumped you?"

"What...what do you want to do?" Lin Ruyu tried to remain calm. "I'm warning you, don't do anything rash..."

"Reckless? I'm a cripple now, how can I recklessly do anything?" Chu Xuan lay on the filthy black clinic bed, looking at the mold on the ceiling, a twisted smile on his lips. "I just called to congratulate you."

"Congratulations, you've finally gotten your comeuppance."

Lin Ruyu gritted her teeth: "You came here to laugh at me?"

"Yeah, what else?" Chu Xuan said lightly.

"Shut up! It's all your fault! If you hadn't posted that nonsense online, Chen Hao wouldn't have dumped me! The Gao family wouldn't have bothered me!" Lin Ruyu screamed hysterically. "Chu Xuan, you're a jinx! You deserve to have your leg broken! You deserve your family to go bankrupt!"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, an even more frenzied burst of laughter erupted.

"Hahahaha! Well said! Keep it up!" Chu Xuan laughed until tears streamed down his face. "Lin Ruyu, the angrier you get, the happier I am. You know what? My only pleasure right now is watching you rot in the mud, bit by bit."

"You think that's all? Not at all." Chu Xuan's voice suddenly lowered, like a viper flicking its tongue. "I've already compiled all your past glorious deeds into a book."

Lin Ruyu felt a chill run through her body, and her teeth were chattering: "You...you're not human..."

"I'm a ghost," Chu Xuan said in a sinister tone, "a vengeful ghost that crawled back from hell to claim your life. Lin Ruyu, enjoy this. This is just the interest; the principal hasn't even started calculating yet."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

At that moment, Lin Ruyu felt as if the walls around her were pressing in on her.

First there was Chen Hao's ruthlessness, then the Gao family's pressure to repay debts, and now there's Chu Xuan, like a mad dog, watching from the shadows.

She's really finished.

Lin Ruyu, who once moved effortlessly among several men and was elevated to a pedestal, now seems like a joke.

Meanwhile, at Haicheng University's male dormitory.

Bai Jingyou looked at the latest information sent by Chen Mo on his phone, a playful smile curving his lips.

"That old fox Gao Tianxiong, he's quick to strike."

This is the cruelty of the real world.

What kind of brainless rich second-generation fathers are there?

Who among those who can build a successful business isn't a shrewd and astute person?

The reason I didn't touch Lin Ruyu before was to save face for my son, and also because I felt it wasn't worth arguing with a little girl.

But now that Lin Ruyu's reputation is ruined and she's been labeled Chen Hao's slut, Gao Tianxiong naturally wants to cut his losses and, incidentally, give his son a vivid lesson in society.

Moreover, the Gao family's current situation doesn't allow Gao Beining to continue being so muddle-headed.

"This is what they call 'the wicked will be punished by the wicked'," Bai Jingyou said, tossing his phone aside and stretching.

In this round, Lin Ruyu is completely eliminated.

Next, it was Chen Hao's turn.

That person, right now, should be frantically trying to borrow money from loan sharks at exorbitant interest rates.

Bai Jingyou stood up and walked onto the balcony.

As night deepens, the city lights begin to illuminate the night.

"Chen Hao, Chen Hao," he murmured to himself, gazing at the flickering lights of the CBD buildings in the distance, "since you like gambling so much, I'll increase your bets."

"Hopefully, you'll be able to afford to lose when the time comes."
