Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

Yao Feiran changed the channel: "Stop watching, you won't have this brother anymore."

"Won't my brother come back?"

"He won't come back. He only cares about his biological parents. He went straight there to acknowledge them and hasn't called me since. He's their only child, and he'll inherit all their wealth. He doesn't want to have anything to do with us."

Zhou Yu felt a little sad, because she and her brother used to have a pretty good relationship.

Looking at Zhou Yu's complicated expression, Yao Feiran thought to herself that she was really stupid. Although the original owner had never mistreated Zhou Yu, she had long regarded Zhou Baiheng as her own son. She was old-fashioned and thought that daughters would eventually get married and leave, while sons would take care of him. The original owner had even planned to have her daughter pay for household expenses after she started working so that the money could be used to help her son get married. She even thought that the house would belong to her son, otherwise her room would never have had air conditioning.

Zhou Yu will eventually realize this when he grows up.

After staying at the hotel for a while, Yao Feiran made a sum of money online. The film and television industry in this world is quite developed, producing many classic dramas. Every year, all kinds of dramas bloom, and low-quality dramas simply cannot stand the test of time. The most popular ones are not idol dramas, but those action-packed martial arts dramas. The recently awarded Best Actor is a top-tier kung fu superstar who fought his way through the roles himself.

After some investigation, she discovered that Zhou Baiheng's biological parents also seemed to have turned their fortunes around by investing in a TV series, which allowed them to return to China.

So far, the original owner has raised Zhou Baiheng for twenty years for nothing, and his biological parents haven't even thought of giving him any compensation.

They're so rich, yet they're still so stingy.

Forget about this char siu for now.

After Zhou Yu received the admission notice, Yao Feiran took Zhou Yu on a trip. The town was not far from the county seat, which also had the largest film and television city.

It was Zhou Yu's first time going out. Although she was tired, she was full of energy. Yao Feiran followed her route. When they reached a certain road, Zhou Yu curiously pointed to the sky.

"Mom, is that the celebrity Xu Qifeng? He's flying!"

Yao Feiran looked up, her eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly took a few steps closer. Just then, the wire harness several meters high went out of control, and Xu Qifeng fell directly down, crashing towards Yao Feiran.

The moment her hand touched her, she bent her knees and lowered her hips in sync, her body bending to cushion the distance.

After a while, people gathered around. Yao Feiran rubbed her sore waist, and Xu Qifeng got up, his eyes still somewhat clear.

"Director, I seem to be fine."

"It's good that you're alright." Zhang Tian'an quickly helped Yao Feiran up. "Sister, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a slight backache. I'll just put on a medicated plaster when I get home."

"No, we still need to go to the hospital to get checked out." Zhang Tianan dragged Yao Feiran to a nearby hospital, where the doctor examined her and found nothing wrong.

Such a big incident has already gone viral online. Due to the angle of the incident and Yao Feiran's quick escape, her face was not exposed, but Yao Feiran has become quite famous. There were even rumors that she was a 1.8-meter-tall man, but these were quickly debunked; Yao Feiran's figure looks like a woman's.

After leaving the hospital, Zhang Tian'an tentatively asked, "Sister, have you studied martial arts? Your movements are quite agile."

"Yeah, I didn't learn much, just a little bit of how to deflect force."

"We're missing a woman who knows martial arts. She has quite a lot of screen time. Why don't you give her a try?"

Yao Feiran turned to look at him: "I think many people would be willing to act in this kind of role, so why did it have to be me, an ordinary person?"

"The woman in the drama is a bit older. You know, the audience isn't interested in martial arts without much action. Just standing there like a wooden stake won't do. Young actresses don't really want to play the role, since it's a thankless task. They prefer to play younger female warriors. Older actresses are physically unable to handle it. We originally chose Li Hongshan, but she twisted her back yesterday."

"Why don't you just find a stand-in?"

Zhang Tian'an smiled awkwardly: "Rather than using a stunt double, I would prefer to find someone who knows martial arts, because this is a pure martial arts story with high difficulty. If I use a stunt double frequently, it will not be good for the audience's impression if it is discovered. Besides, you are good-looking."

Although the character is an old man, it's impossible to cast someone with an ordinary appearance.

Yao Feiran thought that this director had quite high standards.

However, audiences in this world are more demanding of the film and television industry. They simply don't accept actors who only show their faces and use body doubles for most of the time. Yao Feiran hadn't decided what to do anyway. After talking with Zhang Tian'an, the final contract included a package fee of 100,000 yuan, but she had to complete the filming smoothly.

When Zhou Yu learned that Yao Feiran had landed a role, she was overjoyed: "Mom, you're so old, yet you've found a second spring in your career!"

"...I'm not that old."

"Hehe, slip of the tongue."

After Yao Feiran underwent testing, Zhang Tian'an made the final decision to sign the contract.

Zhou Yu wasn't disappointed when she learned the trip was canceled; instead, she was even more excited. She frequently visited the set and even got Xu Qifeng's autograph. One day, Yao Feiran noticed that she seemed a bit down and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Grandma called and said I was unfilial for not stopping my parents' divorce."

"Is she sick again?"

Zhou Mansheng also has a younger brother. Zhou's mother specially bought him a house in the city. The original owner of this body married the less favored one of the two brothers' families. After marrying into the family, Zhou's mother gave her a house in the town. Whenever Zhou's mother was unwell, she would stay at Zhou Mansheng's house and have the original owner of this body take care of her.

She gave her money and love to her second son, and her hard work to her eldest daughter-in-law.

Yao Feiran guessed that the other party wanted to take care of her, so she came over.

Zhou Yu shook her head: "I don't know."

"Ignore her, it's your father's responsibility."

The original owner of this body married into a distant place, and her family was not very good. Her parents passed away a few years ago, otherwise they would have made a big fuss if they knew she was divorced.

After Yao Feiran finished filming, Zhou Yu was about to start school, so Yao Feiran took her to Heyu City.

After sending her to school, Yao Feiran received a call from an unknown number. When she answered, she realized it was from Zhou Mansheng.

"Where are you now."

Yao Feiran: "What's the matter?"

"Could you come back for a visit? My mother isn't feeling well."

Yao Feiran didn't say a word and hung up the phone directly. When she got home, she thought about Zhou Baiheng's exaggerated words online and decided to collect some evidence.

Yes, Zhou Baiheng has now changed his name to Chen Baiheng.

There is much criticism of the adoptive parents online, with people calling Chen Baiheng's admission to university a phoenix rising from a chicken coop, and saying that if it weren't for his adoptive parents holding him back, he would have achieved far more than he has.

Zhou Mansheng didn't dare to go to his girlfriend's place. After all, he did like to berate Chen Baiheng when he was a child, so he gritted his teeth and paid for Chen Baiheng's living expenses, tuition fees and other expenses himself, and even did a few part-time jobs.

Because of the long timeline, this evidence is not easy to collect and requires a trip to the location.

It's true what they say: it takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them.
