The male supporting character was actually myself.

Because Yin Luoxi is protecting your interests;

My presence has harmed your interests.

So to be honest, bad people are ingrates; and it's not wrong for Yin Luoxi and Mrs. Yin to team up against me.

"Du Zigui, you're just like Du Pingping, who stole the child, and Du Rui, who only cares about her own pleasure—you're all selfish bastards who never know how to take advantage!"

While playing the game, the little white cat reminded him, "Master, the mission is complete."

While the words were correct, the sarcastic tone needed improvement, so the main system judged the completion level to be slightly below perfect, at "Excellent+".

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old students already have a strong ability to discern.

Therefore, after Jiang Chen rebuked Du Zigui, the other classmates also chimed in.

"Speaking a few honest words and you're already being labeled as bad? No wonder you're used to bullying others and throwing around accusations."

"'Mom and sister'? Tsk tsk, that must be Jiang Chen's mom and sister, right? They've switched identities. Even if you're not used to it, you have to correct it. You've been taking advantage of them for so many years, don't you feel even a little bit embarrassed?"

“My family thinks Mrs. Yin’s family is really strange. They’re not even angry that their child was stolen!”

"They have warped values..."

"Jiang Chen is so pitiful. Everything was originally his, but it all ended up being someone else's. It seems that the imposter is still clinging to the Yin family and refusing to leave."

"Isn't his house a three-bedroom house? Everyone's settled in their own rooms, so where is Jiang Chen supposed to live if Du Zigui doesn't leave?"

……

Du Zigui's previous good relationships were built on treating people to meals and giving gifts. Now that the theft incident has been exposed, even fewer people want to associate with him.

Only his deskmate—a boy who had a crush on Yin Luoxi for many years—was left, and he retorted in a low voice: "You guys shouldn't say that. Things happened too suddenly, it's normal that Zigui can't adapt to it for a while."

If you were in their shoes, suddenly discovering that your child isn't your parents' biological child and has to return to a strange environment with very poor conditions, would you immediately move out without any attachment to your original family?

“I would feel guilty and remorseful because I have taken over someone else’s identity,” Gao Xuan said loudly. “And the other person is a classmate who has been abused for many years. I will help him integrate into the family.”

They will never forget the kindness of their adoptive parents, nor will they despise their biological mother.

She did do some really bad and terrible things.

But think carefully about who ultimately benefits!

Du Zigui, if you hadn't bullied Jiang Chen by relying on your family background, I wouldn't have blamed you.

Stop putting on a victim act to gain sympathy and pity.

You are not a victim, and no one is trying to take away your happy life.

The victim is Yin Jiangchen. The happy life of the Yin family was never yours to begin with; it's just returning it to its rightful owner.

You've enjoyed yourself for so many years, you've already made a profit!

"That's right. Blame your own mother for wanting something for nothing!"

"It's quite a coincidence, really. It looks exactly like the cuckoo we learned about in biology class!"

The mother bird lays her eggs in other birds' nests, letting those other birds incubate the eggs and raise the chicks.

Those birds that usurp the nest will throw all the other chicks out and kill them, so that the mother bird can feed herself all the resources.

"If it hadn't been discovered, the Yin family would have been in a terrible situation. Jiang Chen was treated like a slave; Mrs. Yin and her family served Du Zigui, and in the end, the family fortune still belonged to him."

It seems that hospital records are only kept for thirty years.

Thirty years later, Du Pingping, who knew the truth, found her biological son as a victim and, without any evidence, sued the hospital to make money.

The Yin family's money belongs to Du Zigui;

The Du family's assets are in Du Pingping's hands.

It's a win-win situation for them, mother and son!

"That's terrifying! The entire Yin family worked so hard and ended up with nothing; while the Cuckoo family reaped both fame and fortune!"

"My mom told me that many years ago there were people who would arrange for children to be adopted through intermediaries."

They say it's for the child's own good, requiring families to be well-off and parents to have regular jobs, etc.

As a result, after the other party took the child and raised him, the biological parents came forward and claimed that the child had been abducted, thus playing the victim and gaining sympathy.

Families who are deceived into raising children usually have regular jobs and rarely change employment.

That's why they're so accurate in finding them!

In the end, the child was raised by someone and received a huge sum of money. After being recognized as a relative, the child was expected to support them and also help the family.

It's said that the scam only came to light because a middleman exposed it, and it only ended because the law became stricter.

……

The noisy discussion in the classroom only ended when the school bell rang.

Du Zigui didn't hear a thing during the entire class.

He was considering how to tell his sister how to get rid of Du Rui, that little delinquent.

"My sister was taken away by Mom? Did something happen?"

As soon as the bell rang, Du Zigui ran to Class 1 of Senior High School to find his sister, only to be told by the students that Yin Luoxi had been called away by Mrs. Yin after attending class for just over ten minutes.

He walked back dejectedly, feeling uneasy.

When the third class started, Dad suddenly showed up!

"Dad, what's up?" When he saw him appear at the classroom door, Du Zigui stood up as usual to greet him, ignoring the fact that the teacher was lecturing.

Yin Bowen glanced at him, waved for him to sit down, and then whispered a few words to the teacher before calling Jiang Chen out.

Amidst the snickers of his classmates, Du Zigui watched with disappointment as the two of them talked for a while in the corridor. Then, Jiang Chen went into the classroom, packed his bag, walked over to Gao Xuan, and whispered a few words to him.

Du Zigui vaguely heard a few words: "overseas," "contact," "will come back," and so on.

Chapter Fifteen: Starting with Teaching How to Spot a Bitch

When he realized what was happening and chased after his father, he saw him driving towards the airport.

"Mom and Dad! Dad! Mom! Sister, don't leave me!"

"mom!"

"Dad, Mom, and Sister, don't leave me!"

Du Zigui chased after the car for a long time, finally watching it disappear into the traffic and out of sight.

He stood there blankly for a long time, unable to accept the fact that his beloved family had abandoned him and taken Jiang Chen abroad.

"Host, I guess we won't be able to complete the mission until we get overseas." The little white cat whispered while perched on its host's shoulder, "This is so sudden, I didn't even have time to react."

Thankfully, the plot has been updated, so we can see how it develops.

Jiang Chen sat in the passenger seat, pretending to look at his phone while flipping through the newly updated script.

A dozen minutes ago, Yin Bowen suddenly came to me and said that he had completed the formalities and asked me to go abroad with them to settle down.

Firstly, it was necessary for his business, since his business in Renjin City had been severely affected, while the overseas market had a promising outlook;

Secondly, Yin Bowen hoped to get away from the oppressive environment and that the family of four could gradually get to know each other and become a real family after settling abroad.

Thirdly, when he went to Du Rui early in the morning to discuss the issue of temporary guardianship, she made an exorbitant demand, which displeased him.

In addition, Yin Bowen's feelings for Du Zigui were too complicated, consisting of fifteen years of kinship as well as resentment towards Du Pingping and the theft of his son's life. He felt that he had to cut the Gordian knot quickly.

Therefore, when he learned that his application had been approved, he immediately completed the formalities, bought plane tickets, and his whole family left as quickly as possible.

Jiang Chen hadn't originally planned to go with him.

Just as Yin Bowen finished explaining the plan and told him to pack his things and go to the airport, the main system issued a mission requiring him to follow them abroad.

Jiang Chen had no choice but to compromise. After agreeing on the terms, he said goodbye to his good friend, got into his car, and left.

He looked down at the updated script, while the little white cat rested its fluffy head against his face and looked at it together.

Meanwhile, the male protagonist, Du Zigui, was chasing after the car.

Yin Bowen could see everything clearly in the rearview mirror while driving. He glanced at his wife and daughter in the back seat, who could also see the scene in the rearview mirror, and then stepped on the gas to speed up and drive away.

The subsequent plot did not change much.

However, during the eight years he was away, the protagonist's life was not as smooth as before, and he no longer had the support of benefactors.

After all, the incident of switching lives has a significant impact.

The video of Du Zigui, one of the parties involved, openly cheating and abusing his power has also been widely circulated, so the protagonist's "truth, goodness and beauty" persona has not been established, which has had some impact.

The plot over the eight years is basically glossed over.

The real melodramatic saga will only begin eight years after the Yin family returns.

"We have plenty of time to plan this time," Jiang Chen said softly as he walked out of the bustling airport, after hearing the little white cat remind him that the mission was complete.

He reached an agreement with Yin Bowen at that time.

I have no problem going abroad with them, but I want to attend a boarding school. This way, I can minimize my contact with Mrs. Yoon and Yoon Rao-hee, who see me as an enemy.

He will be truly free after he turns eighteen!

Since the plot has arranged for him to achieve success, he just needs to go with the flow and proceed step by step. However, in order to avoid becoming a stepping stone for the protagonist and getting killed, he needs to lay the groundwork during this period.

The little white cat tilted its head, looking completely bewildered. "Didn't you come here to study and start a business, Master? What are you planning now that you're abroad?"

"Of course, it's to save the second male and female leads from their tragic lives."

………………

After completing the enrollment procedures, Jiang Chen picked up a large pile of things and headed towards his dormitory.

The little white cat perched on his shoulder, flipping through the script.

"The host is the best male supporting character, but the male and female leads are in love, so they are the corresponding male and female second leads."

So, you've given yourself away, and you're only the third male lead?

"I'm probably just a background character, since I don't have much of a role to play."

Aside from my early teenage years when I was at odds with the protagonist, I didn't have many positive roles later on.
