The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Beauty?" Su Minghe couldn't help but laugh out loud, his face saying, "You're kidding me. This Du Xinyu, she never tells the truth, but you, with no brains, believe everything she says!"

She said that Chu Jiangchen brought her back to raise her because he was attracted to her beauty?

Have you ever had any doubts?

Did you secretly investigate?

Seeing Su Li lower her head in shame, Su Minghe snorted and threw a stack of photos at her, "From the first day I heard the news, I investigated Du Xinyu's ancestors for eight generations!"

Look closely, is this what you call beauty?

The photo isn't very clear; it looks like it was printed out from a screenshot of a video.

The scene depicts a desolate mountain landscape, with a dark-skinned and thin person offering a shy smile to the camera.

She was wearing a huge, greasy, blackish-red cotton coat with worn-out sleeves that revealed the blackened lint inside.

A bulky pair of dark green cotton trousers, covered in dust and greasy dirt;

On his feet were a pair of men's cotton shoes with several holes, and he wasn't wearing socks, only his dark ankles were showing.

Their hair was dirty and messy, tied up haphazardly, making it difficult to tell if they were male or female.

His face, which hadn't been washed for who knows how long, was dark and rough, and his cheeks were red from the wind.

Su Li couldn't help but wrinkle her nose, as if she could smell the stench emanating from her even through the photo.

"This is a screenshot from Chu Jiangchen's WeChat official account a few years ago," Su Minghe said, raising his chin. "This is when he met Du Xinyu."

Tell me, who can see beauty in her?

Skeleton, facial features, facial features, and skin all have varying degrees of influence on the concept of beauty.

Although a beauty can still stand out even when covered in dust, Du Xinyu's old photos are really... her features don't look that amazing at all. Even if she were cleaned up, any random passerby could outshine her back then.

As for her current appearance, it was naturally the result of Chu Jiangchen bringing her back to Jincheng and raising her in luxury for at least two years.

After all, with good food, good housing, and the best skincare and beauty products, and with sufficient nutrition, the skin will grow and become more beautiful.

Su Ming slowly sent him a link to a WeChat official account. "Chu Jiangchen likes outdoor hiking and has traveled a lot in recent years. He even made some pocket money through live streaming, so he's considered quite adept at it in the industry."

Although I'm busy with my studies and family business now and don't play anymore, I've kept all the old videos.

If you're interested, you can look back at those from four years ago.

The entire process, from meeting Du Xinyu to spending money to "buy" her away, was recorded in detail.

You don't actually believe someone would forge a four-year-old recording to fool you, do you?

Su Li's face immediately turned red, and she directly opened the official account link.

"Alright, go back to your room and read slowly. I'm tired and need to rest." Su Minghe coldly dismissed him.

He had no choice but to obediently leave the study and go upstairs to his room.

【Chu Chen on the Road】This is the WeChat official account registered by Chu Jiangchen.

Su Li lay on the bed and opened the video. The last video was from two years ago. The title was very ordinary, something about hiking through a national park abroad.

He didn't have the patience to look at these and kept scrolling down.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a video among many titled "Hiking in the Dami Mountain, I encountered such an outrageous thing in the mountain village!"

Su Li hurriedly clicked on it.

The video begins with Chu Jiangchen discovering a frozen lake during his live stream, and then encountering a girl carrying firewood.

The entire encounter was quite ordinary. After Du Xinyu gave him directions, she deliberately followed him for a long time before pitifully asking for a doll that Chu Jiangchen had hanging on his backpack.

She spoke in a pitiful and aggrieved tone, saying that her parents favored boys over girls and that she had a hard time at home. She had never seen such exquisite and lovely toys before, and begged Chu Jiangchen to give them to her...

What followed was a series of attempts to gain sympathy, but Du Xinyu did it very skillfully, crying about how she was living a life worse than death while simultaneously appearing strong and brave.

Sure enough, Chu Jiangchen was quickly swayed by her emotions and decided to go back with her to see her family and see if they could change anything.

Chu Jiangchen, a wealthy young man who grew up in the city, could only barely understand Du Xinyu's broken "Mandarin," and had no clue about her family's dialect.

Therefore, the entire process could only be "translated" by Du Xinyu.

The two sides got into an argument shortly after they started talking. In the end, Chu Jiangchen took Du Xinyu and her family to the county town, withdrew 20,000 yuan, and threw it at the other party.

Her family happily handed their daughter over.

Only after settling into a hotel in the county town did Du Xinyu take a proper shower, change into the new clothes Chu Jiangchen had bought for her, and get her hair done.

However, even after Chu Jiangchen had tidied her up, Du Xinyu was still dark-skinned, thin, and hunched over, looking worse than a passerby.

"Su Li, you're such an idiot!"

After watching all the videos on Chu Jiangchen's official WeChat account, Su Li couldn't help but slap herself.

His face burned, and at the same time, his heart ached.

The happy moments with Du Xinyu kept flashing before my eyes, especially her big, bright eyes, with a slightly misty, resentful look as she gazed at me, making it impossible for me to resist the urge to protect her.

"She's a liar! A liar! A liar who climbed the social ladder by relying on men!" Su Li grabbed her hair and repeated the words over and over, trying to clear her head.

However, the female lead's halo was too strong, and it was also the first true love he had ever wholeheartedly devoted himself to. Even though he knew Du Xinyu's character, he still struggled with his feelings for a long time.

"Ding-dong..."

The phone rang, and Su Li realized that it was already dawn.

The caller ID showed it was Du Xinyu.

He hesitated for a moment without answering. The screen went dark for a few seconds and then lit up again. It was still Du Xinyu calling.

Su Li hardened her heart and blacklisted him, trying to convince herself to prioritize the bigger picture!

His ultimate goal is to reclaim the Su Group and become the youngest richest man in China.

She's just a woman. Once she holds real power, she can have as much as she wants!

I made two calls and they were hung up on. When I tried to call back, the line was always busy...

Du Xinyu felt something was strange but didn't think much of it.

After all, Su Li isn't much smarter than Chu Jiangchen, that simp. Even if he investigates the surveillance footage, he won't get any results.

So what if I took the initiative to ask Chu Jiangchen out?

The second half of the surveillance video is all fake. As long as we insist that Su Ziqing fabricated the story, the irrefutable evidence in the second half will render the first half, even if it were true, as fake.

She thought to herself with delight that she should get dressed up and go to the kitchen to make a hot soup for Su Li.

He had never experienced the warmth of family since childhood. If he were gentle, considerate, and attentive, Su Li, who was used to loneliness and longed for warmth, would definitely fall into his arms immediately.

Judging from what we've seen so far, Su Minghe is very strict with Su Li; and Su Ziqing is xenophobic and won't give him a kind look.

Therefore, maintaining a gentle, kind, and understanding persona will guarantee a win!

Although he was temporarily assigned to the Su family villa, with Su Li firmly in his grasp, taking over the Su family manor was only a matter of time.

"I'm the one you love most, how could you bear to see me sad..." After washing up, Du Xinyu hummed a song as she changed into a casual outfit that didn't quite fit.

Looking at her clothes in the mirror with disdain, she thought to herself, "I have to drag Su Li shopping today. He's successfully returned to the Su family as the young master, but he still doesn't have three to five million in pocket money."

It's not unreasonable to order a few beautiful outfits and buy a few nice bags, is it?

You should know that Chu Jiangchen, that simp, has hundreds of thousands of yuan in pocket money to spend every month.

The Su family is the richest family in the world, dozens of times richer than the Chu family!

Du Xinyu couldn't stop smiling when she thought of the haute couture gown she had long admired.

"Ms. Du, please come with us." As soon as she stepped out of the room, a team of security personnel approached her politely.

Could it be that Su Li sent someone to pick me up?

She was secretly delighted, thinking that Su Li was really romantic.

Such a grand display, coupled with being chauffeured in a top-of-the-line luxury car, definitely shows the style of a wealthy family!

Suppressing her joy, Du Xinyu nodded reservedly and followed them.

Five minutes later, she stared blankly at the tightly closed iron gate and the empty highway.

After the security team escorted me to the gate, they actually closed the gate and went back inside!

what's the situation? !

What on earth are they doing?!

Chapter Seventeen: Of course, a grand gift must be prepared.

"Bang bang bang!" Du Xinyu waited for two minutes, then called Su Li, only to be told that his phone was off.

She couldn't take it anymore and went up to bang on the door. "Open the door! Open the door! Are you sure you've got something wrong? The car hasn't even arrived yet and you're making me stand here waiting?"

The three-meter-tall black gate remained silent, but the small window in the iron bars of the gatehouse next door opened, revealing the cold face of a security guard. "What are you filming? Shouting like that is really rude."

"You..." Du Xinyu trembled with anger, pointing at the other party and cursing, "A mere watchdog dares to talk to me like that!"

Do you know who I am?

It's not too late to realize your mistake now. Respectfully invite me in, kowtow, and apologize. I will show you mercy.

Otherwise, when Su Li returns, you'll all have to crawl out of the Su family on your knees!

The words "watchdog" clearly enraged the other party, whose cold face showed four parts contempt, three parts disdain, two parts mockery, and one part disgust. "Xiao Huang, open the door and let her in."

After waiting for about ten seconds, the black door opened as expected.

A line of security personnel stood in neat rows, their expressions serious and their presence imposing.

Still not understanding the situation, Du Xinyu thought the other person was intimidated by her, and walked in arrogantly, saying, "Apologize sincerely, and I'll forgive you... Ah!!!"

Before she could finish speaking, a terrified scream rang out, followed by a thud as she fell to the ground and the sound of the large iron gate slamming shut.

The cold-faced security guard glanced out through the small iron fence of the gatehouse and snorted, "You're asking for it."

Mr. Su's exact words were, "We're going to throw you out!"

What a freeloader, she actually thinks she's something special?

Since you don't want to be given face, then we'll just have to throw you out of the Su family's villa.
