The male supporting character was actually myself.

They didn't have any other houses to begin with, and after selling the small restaurant, we didn't even have a place to stay.

I could only find odd jobs here and there, and I always lived in the dormitories provided by the places I worked.

"Speaking of which, Yisheng Hotel is awful! They didn't pay me my salary last month and wouldn't let me stay in the staff dormitory!"

As he was talking, his phone rang.

Du Zigui glanced at the screen and hung up, complaining, "It's Du Rui again. She always comes to ask for money when it's payday."

"Don't let those guys spoil our fun. If we turn off our phones, they won't bother us so much." Yin Luoxi took his phone, turned it off, and, seeing that no one was around, led Du Zigui deeper into the park. "Don't worry, everything will be alright..."

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Paying Back Debts

"Host, the script was just updated and it's already in update mode again. Did you do something weird again?" The little white cat, who had just woken up, asked while wolfing down its hearty breakfast.

Jiang Chen took a sip of tea and smiled, "What do you mean by 'strange and weird operations'?"

I'm just helping those poor creditors.

They were basking in the protagonist's halo and lent him a lot of money, but that kid actually ran away!

People who owe money and don't pay it back are the most despicable.

The little white kitten's mouth was stuffed full, "Mmm, a pile of stuffed pig's food!"

It wasn't written in the script. If Du Zigui hadn't revealed it while playing the victim last night, Jiang Chen wouldn't have discovered that he was a deadbeat.

Since they've handed me leverage, why shouldn't I use it?

Jiang Chen immediately had someone compile Du Zigui's information and send it to the police station, and indeed, there were police reports left in many places.

With Jiang Chen secretly helping to fuel the flames, Du Zigui was sued by multiple people in less than a week.

"What? The creditor wants you to pay back the money?" When Du Zigui came crying and sobbing, Yin Luoxi was just about to start painting.

She was also very troubled during this period.

For some reason, Mom insisted that she seduce Xiang Hongbin.

Although that guy was indeed quite nice, she still felt that something was missing when she was with him.

Yin Luoxi was anxious. Creating art requires inspiration, time, and a good mood, so she hadn't touched her paintbrush for several days.

Recalling the events of that night, she had finally managed to get into the mood, but before she could even begin to get into it, she was interrupted.

"Don't rush, sit down and have some water before you talk." Yin Luoxi quickly asked him to sit down and poured him a glass of water.

Du Zigui was sweating profusely with anxiety. He looked around the room and asked, "Isn't Mom here?"

Sisters, I need your help, really!

Otherwise I would be arrested and put in jail.

I don't want to go to jail!

Those guys sued me; they accused me of owing money and not paying it back.

But I really don't have any money. If I did, would I not pay them back?

They're pushing me to the brink of despair; I'm so desperate that I've come to my sister for help.

"How much money did you borrow? What did you do with the borrowed money?"

Faced with her sister's questioning, Du Zigui's eyes reddened and tears fell. "It's Du Rui."

You know, she's a scoundrel.

They only care about their own enjoyment and don't consider others at all.

She took all the money I earned over the years, and when I was short of money, she made me borrow it.

I can't do anything about it, sister. She's my own sister, what can I do?

By then, I had already lost you all.

I don't want to lose my only family member too!

Yin Luoxi took a tissue to wipe his tears and asked gently, "How much do you owe now? Have you checked? Is the amount correct?"

"I don't know how it happened, but dozens of creditors have all gathered together," Du Zigui said dejectedly. "The amount of money is correct, and I wrote all the IOUs myself."

In total, it only amounts to six and a half million...

"Sister, your allowance is enough to help me pay off my debts, right?"

She paused slightly. "If it were before, this amount of money wouldn't be much."

Don't worry, I'll call and find you some money.

"No matter what, we need to pay off the debt first, otherwise going to jail, defaulting on debts, and all sorts of other problems will be very troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Du Zigui immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, my sister has a way with people. She's rich, beautiful, and treats me as well as before!

Once I get rid of those idiot creditors, I won't have to hide anymore or even move in the middle of the night.

Throughout the day, to avoid her mother's nagging, Yin Luoxi deliberately avoided her and borrowed money from everyone she could, but in the end, she was still short 1.5 million.

With the deadline fast approaching, she had no choice but to run to her father for help.

"Why do you suddenly want so much money?" Yin Bowen frowned when he heard his daughter ask for 2.5 million. "You know my situation right now. The company has just recovered. Where would I get so much cash to help you with your work?"

Aren't you busy creating content?

I heard that someone offered you a painting, even a high price of 30 million, but you didn't agree.

Luo Xi, don't be so ambitious...

Annoyed, she interrupted her father and retorted, "Creation requires inspiration. That guy only offered 30 million and expects me to draw this way and that way."

Dad, I am a painter, not a craftsman.

No matter what kind of customer it is, I will not accept any amount of money if it does not allow me to create and express myself freely!

Let's not talk about my business now; I have my own plans.

Once this painting is finished, it will definitely amaze the whole world!

Can you lend me two million now?

I really need it urgently!

Yin Bowen sighed, knowing that his persuasion was useless against her temper, so he could only press her for more information: "Why do you suddenly need so much money? What do you want it for?"

"Help Zigui pay off his debts, or he'll go to jail!" Seeing that she couldn't avoid it any longer, Yin Luoxi decided to confront him directly.

After hearing the whole story, Yin Bowen remained silent for a long time before finally making a phone call outside his office.

When he returned, he seemed even older, and his voice was somewhat hoarse. "Luo Xi, I'm transferring two million to you. Consider this money as a way of severing the last bit of affection I have for that child."

After all, my feelings for him are really complicated.

On one side is fifteen years of family ties;

On one hand, there's the fact that her mother committed evil deeds.

My father has worked hard all these years just to make his family live a good life; he never imagined it would turn out like this.

Since even resolutely going abroad back then couldn't sever this entanglement, let's buy it out for two million today.

Take the money and leave, and never let me hear his name again.

After the money was transferred to the card, Yin Luoxi smiled sweetly and said coquettishly, "Dad, I know you're worried about the company right now. Once I finish this painting and sell it for a sky-high price, we can go back to our happy life we ​​used to have. There's Mom, Dad, me, and Zigui at home."

Our happy family of four!

Please stop saying such hurtful things. Du Pingping's bad deeds have nothing to do with Zigui.

Believe me, once we get through this tough time, we'll all be happy again!

As she left the office, Yin Luoxi looked at the exact two million yuan deposit record on her phone and revealed a cunning smile.

Hmph! Trying to leave the money to Jiang Chen?

Stop dreaming!

This family business must belong to me and Zigui!

Jiang Chencai, who ruined our happy life, is not qualified to inherit. So what if Dad wants to favor him?

The key is to find reasons to get the money every now and then.

"Host, the plot has been updated." The little white cat put on a pair of black-rimmed round glasses that it had somehow acquired, and solemnly reminded the host while holding the script.

Jiang Chen leaned over and took a peek.

The updated storyline consists of only one simple page.

It can be summarized in just a few words.

Without the second male and female leads entangled in their respective tragic love stories, the main characters' romantic lives became much more uneventful.

Despite the obstacles from Mrs. Yoon, they only maintained a superficial distance while secretly engaging in all sorts of wild activities.

The best news is that everyone else, especially Best Supporting Actor Jiang Chen, no longer has to watch their melodramatic love-hate relationship.

Not long after, the two eloped to another place and lived a short period of happiness. Du Zigui was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer, and the two, who had no money for treatment, returned in disgrace.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Predestined Benefactor

After hearing that he had late-stage liver cancer and needed a lot of money for treatment, and that a liver transplant was the only way for him to survive, Du Rui left without saying goodbye and never came back.

Desperate for a liver transplant and a large sum of money to treat Du Zigui's illness, Yin Luoxi investigated people around him who had the same blood type O.

Mrs. Yin has the same blood type, but since she is an elder, it's not appropriate to morally blackmail her.

Yin Luoxi herself is also blood type O, but she ruled it out on the grounds that she needed to take care of Du Zigui;

Du Rui disappeared without a trace;

Du Pingping, who was in prison, refused to donate part of her liver, citing poor health.

After considering all the options, only Jiang Chen, who shares the same blood type, remains.
