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

The farce came to an end before midnight.

There was no earth-shattering follow-up.

Having lost her moral high ground, Lin Ruyu is like a plucked peacock, capable of nothing but screaming and tantrums, with no offensive power whatsoever.

Before Bai Jingyou could even say another word, several quick-thinking security guards grabbed the former goddess and threw her, along with her haute couture buttons and self-respect scattered on the ground, out of the revolving door.

The reporters dispersed reluctantly, each with a satisfied glow on their face.

Tonight's material is enough to meet their KPIs for the whole week.

Chen Hao did not show up.

This rat in the ditch had a very keen sense of smell, and the moment it realized the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, it completely cut off all contact with Lin Ruyu.

That so-called insider USB drive has now become irrefutable evidence that Lin Ruyu fabricated facts and slandered others.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ms. Lin will be faced with an exorbitant compensation claim drafted by Bai's legal department, as well as a three-year sewing machine training course.

……

The next morning, at the Bai Family Manor.

Sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows onto the long dining table, and the air was filled with the aroma of freshly baked toast and black coffee.

Bai Jingyou was dressed in loose loungewear, holding a tablet computer and casually browsing today's stock market chart.

The Bai Group's stock price hit the daily limit at the opening bell, with the red curve soaring upwards like a silent mockery.

"Young Master, everything has been arranged with Chu Xuan."

Chen Mo stood aside and reported in a low voice, "Second Master's men picked him up. It is said that the bottom of the cabin is not very ventilated, and Young Master Chu vomited all the way, but he was fine when he got to the mine. They have a good way of treating 'sentimentality' there."

"Hmm," Bai Jingyou replied casually, swiping his finger across the screen. "Where's Chen Hao?"

"Disappeared." Chen Mo pushed up his glasses. "Several shell companies under his name were deregistered overnight, and the flow of funds has been disrupted again. This person is very cautious, making drastic cuts, even abandoning Lin Ruyu, a pawn, completely."

"No rush. As long as he's in Haicheng, he'll show his face sooner or later."

Bai Jingyou picked up his coffee and took a sip, just as he was about to say something, when suddenly a series of rapid and rhythmic braking sounds came from outside the door.

Immediately following was the lingering sound of the sports car engine shutting off.

"Bang!"

The villa gate was pushed open with an astonishing force.

Before you see him, you hear his voice.

It was the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the marble floor, fast and rapid, like a series of rapid drumbeats, each one striking one's heart.

Da, da, da.

An invisible sense of oppression instantly swept through the entire living room.

Chen Mo's expression changed. A hint of panic appeared on his usually expressionless face. He subconsciously took half a step back, lowered his head, put his hands down, and stood up straight.

"Young...Young Miss."

Before Bai Jingyou could react, a red figure had already swept up in front of him.

She was an extremely beautiful woman.

Her long, wavy hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and she wore a well-tailored burgundy business suit, which accentuated her already tall and slender figure.

Her features were somewhat similar to Bai Jingyou's, but her lines were sharper, and her eyes and brows exuded a ruthless aura of someone who had long held a high position.

Bai Qing.

The eldest daughter of the Bai family, Bai Jingyou's older sister.

In the original novel, she is a vicious female villain who turns evil for her younger brother, and even when her foolish brother is abandoned by everyone, she still sells her property to try to save him.

"Sister?" Bai Jingyou was taken aback. A certain instinct from the original owner's memories made him subconsciously shrink his neck. "Why are you back...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a pair of cool hands had already cupped his face.

Bai Qing's eyes, which were originally as cold as ice, melted away the moment she saw Bai Jingyou, replaced by anxiety and heartache that were about to overflow.

She looked him up and down, left and right, and even reached out to pinch Bai Jingyou's arm, as if checking if a rare treasure had been bumped or damaged.

"You've lost weight."

Bai Qing frowned, her tone filled with undisguised anger, "I only went to Europe to negotiate a merger and acquisition deal, and after only half a month away from home, you've gotten yourself into this state? I saw the news last night, has that bitch Lin Ruyu gone mad? Daring to cause trouble in the company lobby?"

Bai Jingyou was both amused and exasperated.

Thin?

He's 1.85 meters tall, works out every day, and has a perfect body fat percentage. Where is he thin?

This is probably what they mean when they say your older sister thinks you're too thin.

"Sister, I'm fine." Bai Jingyou gently pulled her hand down and said softly, "It's all resolved. She didn't gain anything."

"Didn't you get any advantage?"

Bai Qing's eyebrows shot up, and she spun around twice in her ten-centimeter heels before angrily throwing her limited-edition Hermes bag onto the sofa.

"You call this not getting any advantage? We've been called a murderer's son! And that Chen Hao, a rat hiding in the gutter, huh? Fine, he dares to scheme against the Bai family, he's got a death wish!"

She turned around and sternly shouted at Chen Mo, "Chen Mo! Are you dead? In yesterday's situation, why didn't you just let the bodyguards do it? Are you all just here to eat and do nothing? If Xiao You loses a single hair, I'll twist your head off and use it as a football!"

Chen Mo looked miserable and lowered his head, not daring to utter a sound.

In this family, even Bai Zhenhua, the head of the Bai family, had to be mindful of the young lady's mood when he spoke, let alone his assistant.

"Sis, calm down."

Bai Jingyou stood up, walked over, pressed Bai Qing's shoulder, and made her sit down on the sofa. He then personally poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her. "I stopped Chen Mo from making a move. Dealing with this kind of person, beating her up is too easy; it's more interesting to destroy her spirit."

Bai Qing took the water glass, but didn't drink it. Instead, she looked up and stared intently at Bai Jingyou.

That look in his eyes was very complicated.

There was surprise, doubt, and a hint of cautious probing.

In her memory, her younger brother was handsome, but seemed to be missing a screw in his head.

Especially when he encounters that woman Lin Ruyu, his IQ drops to zero, and he turns into a husky that can only wag its tail.

The stupid things he did to please Lin Ruyu were countless.

Thinking of this, Bai Jingyou felt a pang in his heart.

That's a fucking bastard.

If it were the old Bai Jingyou, he would probably be asking his sister for money now to compensate the injured Lin Ruyu.

"Xiao You..." Bai Qing reached out, seemingly wanting to pat his head, but fearing he would dodge away in disgust as before, her hand froze in mid-air. "You... have you really come to your senses?"

Bai Jingyou felt a pang of sadness.

Is this what blood ties are? Even if you're heartbroken, as long as you see a glimmer of hope for turning back, you'll give yourself back without reservation.

He lowered his head and nuzzled against Bai Qing's palm, like a docile big cat.

"I've figured it out, sis."

Bai Jingyou's voice was soft, yet firm, "I was blind before, mistaking a fish eye for a pearl, and I even hurt you. It won't happen again, really."

Bai Qing's hand trembled slightly.

The warm touch from her palm instantly brought tears to the eyes of this ruthless and powerful businesswoman.

"well."

She took a deep breath, forcefully holding back her tears, and put on that arrogant yet protective smile again.

"It's good that you've come to your senses. There are plenty of good girls in the world. Our young master Bai, what kind of girl can't he have? What is that Lin Ruyu? You're only treating her like a treasure because you do. In my eyes, she's not even worthy of carrying her shoes!"

Bai Qing took out a black card from her bag and slammed it on the table.

"Here you go! Tired of the spending limits these past few months? Go buy something nice to celebrate—a car, a watch, a yacht, swipe away! The password is your birthday."

Bai Jingyou's lips twitched as he looked at the American Express Centurion Black Card, which symbolized unlimited credit.

This simple and direct way of spoiling his younger brother is really... impossible to refuse.

"Sis, I have money."

"You have no money at all!" Bai Qing glared at him. "What can that little bit of pocket money do? Take it! Don't make me say it twice."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something, and her eyes instantly turned extremely cold.

"And then there's that Lin Ruyu..."

Bai Qing sneered, her slender fingers tapping lightly on the table, making a soft, rhythmic sound. "Since you no longer like her, then we can settle some scores."

"I've always let bygones be bygones regarding the debt the Lin family owed back then, out of consideration for you. But now that we've fallen out, don't blame me for being ruthless."

She turned to look at Chen Mo, her tone returning to its usual haughty, queen-like manner.

"Notify the legal department to restart the asset liquidation of the Lin family's bankruptcy case. Also, check Lin Ruyu's current residence. That was the place our Bai family lent her back then. Since she's such an ingrate, she doesn't deserve to live in that house."

"I'm going to kick her out of that house and make her a homeless person by tonight."

"Yes!" Chen Mo answered quickly, straightening his back a bit.

Bai Jingyou looked at his decisive and efficient sister and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Indeed, evil people need evil people to teach them a lesson.

Compared to his own subtle, psychological tactics of using public opinion to slowly erode his own flesh, Bai Qing's simple and direct physical destruction seemed more satisfying.

"Oh, right."

Bai Qing picked up her water glass, took a sip to moisten her throat, and then her gaze fell on Bai Jingyou again, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.

"Besides seeing you, there's something else I wanted to do when I came back this time."

"What?"

"Next week, there's a top-tier business cocktail party in Haicheng." Bai Qing put down his glass. "The organizer is that big shot from Beijing. That's a truly elite circle; even our dad has to put on a smiling face for them."

Bai Jingyou's heart stirred.

A giant Buddha statue from Beijing?

In the original story, there is indeed such a scene, which is also the beginning of the Bai family's downfall.

"I'm going to take you there." Bai Qing looked at him and said seriously, "Xiao You, now that you've come to your senses, it's time for you to officially get involved in the family's core business. That occasion is the best ticket for you to enter the inner circle of high society."

She paused, a meaningful smile curving her lips.

"I heard that Chen Hao is going too. Doesn't he want to play the capital game? I'll take you there and teach him what real capital is."

Bai Jingyou smiled.

He picked up the black card on the table and twirled it between his fingers.

With such a protective and strong-willed older sister, this game of the villain's counterattack seems to be getting more and more interesting.

"Alright." Bai Jingyou leaned back on the sofa, his eyes gleaming with eagerness. "Then let's go meet this big shot, and while we're at it... send Chen Hao a big gift."
