Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

"It seems she's in for a rough time from now on."

043. She's pretty, but she doesn't seem very smart.

One good thing about Meng Wanyu is that she's very quick and efficient when it comes to transferring money.

Shortly after leaving the Meng family, Lu Chengzhou received his payment for the day, plus an extra two hundred yuan tip.

Meng Wanyu: "Teacher Lu, remember to buy different ingredients tomorrow!"

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

Honestly, he doesn't want to come anymore.

But she gave so much!

Although he has now initially escaped the economic crisis, who would complain about having too much money?

Thinking about it this way, Lu Chengzhou felt that he was not being honest at all.

Even after walking so far, he was still recalling Meng Wanyu's pink catgirl outfit.

Such a strange outfit would definitely look out of place on someone else.

But it looks perfectly natural on her!

Not only does it not feel out of place, it even makes you feel a little itchy.

It has to be said that she has once again successfully triggered his XP system.

……

Evening time.

Lu Chengzhou lay on the bed, and as usual, he began to ponder the plot of the original novel.

In the original novel, an accident occurred after Lin Chen's birthday.

To be precise, it was an accident involving the Lin family.

Old Master Lin suffered a sudden relapse of his old illness and nearly lost his life.

The family's property was also looted and most of it was taken away!

After being admitted to the hospital, she received treatment from Jiang Aiyu, a renowned doctor from the Jiang family, and her condition successfully stabilized.

Jiang Aiyu's only condition for saving Old Master Lin was that she marry Lin Chen!

The problem is that Jiang Aiyu doesn't actually like Lin Chen; she's just a pawn in the Jiang family's scheme to seize all of the Lin family's assets.

In the original story, Lin Chen suffered a lot because of her.

His poignant love story with the female lead, Su Qiaoman, unfolded smoothly over fifty chapters.

It was incredibly painful to the stomach.

"What can I do to change this storyline?"

Lu Chengzhou frowned.

I don't have any medical skills.

To receive the next reward from the system, you must first change this part of the storyline.

If they can't save Master Lin before Jiang Aiyu does, then the plot will be very difficult to reverse.

"By the way, if we can expose the Jiang family's ambitions, then Master Lin won't insist on his son getting engaged to her, right?"

"But……"

"What should I do?"

Lu Chengzhou was completely baffled.

Judging by the timing, this plot point is probably coming soon.

I feel a little anxious.

Although there will be no punishment for not changing the plot, he is a person with some obsessive-compulsive disorder.

If he skips a level while playing a game, he won't feel comfortable; he'll just feel uncomfortable.

So he still wanted to try and see if he could find a solution.

In this state of contemplation, he unknowingly fell asleep.

……

at this time.

The two sisters from the Meng family were discussing someone—Jiang Heng.

"He wants to buy Dad's century-old ginseng; he's come to our house to ask several times," the older sister said.

Meng Wanyu scoffed.

The Jiang family is considered a prominent family in Yicheng, only slightly inferior to the Lin family. However, compared to the family in Jingzhou, they are nothing.

As the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Heng often went to Jingzhou to purchase medicinal herbs.

Since we need to buy medicinal herbs, we will inevitably have to deal with the Meng family.

After all, the Meng family is the largest medicinal herb merchant in Jingzhou.

I don't know what Jiang Heng was thinking, insisting on buying century-old ginseng from the Meng family, even going so far as to exchange it for gold, silver, and jade.

Unfortunately, ginseng is hard to buy these days, especially century-old ginseng, which is extremely rare and hard to come by.

My father absolutely refused to sell it.

Jiang Heng is not the point.

The main focus, however, is on his daughter, Jiang Aiyu.

“His daughter is very beautiful,” the sister added, “but she doesn’t seem very bright.”

Meng Wanyu chuckled.

People who are both beautiful and intelligent are rare in this world.

However, her smile froze after seeing Jiang Aiyu's photo.

Then, she let out a heavy snort.

"Sister, I know this person."

"You know him?"

Now it was the older sister's turn to be surprised.

Meng Wanyu nodded and said, "Do you remember that Jiang Heng stayed at our family's manor for a few days?"

The older sister hummed in agreement.

That must have happened about five or six years ago.

To curry favor with their family, Jiang Heng willingly helped out at the Meng family manor, spending his days planting flowers and weeding with a group of servants, always smiling at everyone he met. Eventually, his father found out that his purpose was to obtain the sales rights to a precious medicinal herb, and he was immediately kicked out.

In the Meng family, the most useless thing is the self-inflicted injury ruse.

"At that time, Jiang Heng lived with the servants, and a little girl was kept locked in his room."

I've seen that little girl a few times.

"Every time, I was practicing calligraphy and copying medical books."

"I felt sorry for her, so I used the spare key to open the door for her."

“I took her out to play, to see the flowers in the herb field, gave her cotton candy, and made her a flower wreath. But she secretly picked two herbs and said they were a gift from me, which made my dad scold me severely!”

Meng Wanyu was still very angry when she said this.

"How could I possibly give that to her! That's a new variety that Dad's people worked so hard to cultivate. There were only three of them. How could I dare give it to her?!"

Even though so many years have passed, she still feels uncomfortable whenever she thinks about that little girl's tone of voice and way of doing things.

Therefore, she remembered the girl's name: Jiang Aiyu!

The older sister sighed.

Shake his head.

"It sounds absurd, but considering that she comes from the Jiang family, it makes sense."

After all, Jiang Heng is quite ruthless to himself.

His requirements for educating his children must be the same as the rules he sets for himself: prioritizing interests above all else!

"I hope I never run into her again."

Meng Wanyu rubbed her arms.

"Just thinking about her gives me the creeps."

……

A few days later.

Jiang Aiyu, carrying her luggage, got off the train from Jingzhou to Yicheng.

She was thin and pale, looking as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

The heavy suitcase looked enormous in her hands.

Along the way, kind men helped her carry her suitcase because she was pretty.

But she didn't even know how to say "thank you".

He remained expressionless throughout.

The kind people who helped her found it hard to believe her attitude.

"Such a pretty young girl, how can she have no manners at all?"

"I shouldn't have helped her."

"Haha, we should still help her, after all, she's pretty."
