The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Oh ho, the dance is over." The little white cat licked its paws and muttered to itself, "According to the usual routine, someone who doesn't know any better should jump out and get slapped in the face by now."

Sure enough, everyone praised the couple's perfectly synchronized dance moves.

Meanwhile, the girls who secretly admired Yang Qingwei were all filled with jealousy. Then, a female leader jumped out and publicly mocked An Muya for her shabby clothes, telling her to have some self-awareness and so on.

The female protagonist was tearful, embarrassed, and helpless;

Yang Qingwei then stepped forward and slapped the female manager, coldly telling her to resign and leave.

"The female lead's halo is truly terrifying!" Jiang Chen sneaked over to take a look and whispered to Rong Tuanzi, "Next, Yang Qingwei will probably be suppressed, and the other male supporting characters will come to the rescue, right?"

The little white cat nodded. "If we follow the pattern, that should be correct."

When Yang Yingying saw that her nephew had disregarded his carefully cultivated image and even slapped his subordinate in public for the sake of a poor vixen, she was afraid that something even more embarrassing would happen. So she smiled and made an excuse to call Yang Qingwei away.

The female manager left dejectedly, while An Muya's dramatic rise and fall made her the center of attention. Even after Yang Qingwei was called away, many people privately mocked and ridiculed her.

The female lead, who was already ashamed of herself, awkwardly clutched the hem of her skirt, feeling isolated and pitiful. Then, Ye Xingchen, who was surrounded by the female lead's halo, stepped in to save the day and took the initiative to invite her to dance.

"My God, even the second young master of the Ye family invited her to dance. Who is this girl?"

"Unlike Minister Yang, that aloof and handsome man, the second young master is sunny and always smiling at everyone. He is always polite and well-mannered, even when shaking hands with a woman, he only uses a half-hand salute. But now he is holding her hand tightly!"

"With Minister Yang in the past and the Second Young Master in the future, what qualifications does a poor intern like her have?"

…………

The women in the hall who admired Yang Qingwei or Ye Xingchen were full of scorn, and their gazes toward An Muya, who was favored by the two, were sharp.

"This is quite a show." Jiang Chen watched from a safe distance as Ye Xingluo and Xu Mei sat on the swing in the backyard, chatting and laughing. He then turned to remind the little white cat, "Keep an eye on Ye Zhong. He's probably furious by now."

However, out of consideration for the chairman and with his wife present, he certainly wouldn't step in to steal her away.

We need to stir things up even more, so the female lead is too caught up in a love triangle to have any time or opportunity to unleash her charm on Cat Master.

The little white cat was eager to try, "Host, how can we push the plot forward a bit more?"

"Have you forgotten that crucial bottle of wine from the original storyline?"

He pulled a packet of medicine from his pocket and smiled faintly, "Now it's up to you! Jealous Ye Zhong will definitely find a chance to be alone with An Muya to assert his dominance, and then..."

Chapter Nineteen: The Secret Plan

The fluffy little ball took the medicine packet, waved its paws in front of its forehead, and excitedly wagged its big, fluffy tail. "Don't worry, host, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

It's just drugging, we're professionals at that!

In a room on the second floor, Yang Yingying was angrily scolding Yang Qingwei in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

He's usually quite composed and steady in his work, so why is he acting like he's possessed on such an important occasion?

Li Qian, who jumped out and made sarcastic remarks, did act inappropriately, but you shouldn't have slapped her in public and told her to resign and get out!

What do you think of your uncle?

What will the other guests think?

What makes a poor, struggling intern worthy of your utmost protection? You even went so far as to slap your trusted lieutenant in public!

Do you realize that if you want to secure your position in the Ye Group, you can't afford to lose a single one of these personally trained talents?!

"What do you mean by being poor and stingy? Auntie, you not only lack brains, but you also have no taste! That's called natural beauty without artifice!"

Yang Qingwei dismissed it, saying, "Li Qian is just a person in charge who works a little harder than others. Who does she think she is?"

At the Ye Group's celebration banquet, someone publicly caused trouble and embarrassed their own people; such a person is not worth keeping.

I was already being very lenient by slapping her and telling her to get lost!

Yang Yingying's face turned pale and she was furious. "Nonsense! How dare you say I'm brainless?"

If I didn't have a brain, you...

She swallowed back what she was about to say, and coldly ordered, "Go apologize to your uncle right now!"

First, figure out where you went wrong!

If I don't help you find a way to cover up your mess, the Ye Group will never fall into your hands.

Ye Zhong has never acted recklessly within the group for any reason. Otherwise, the Ye family would have failed long ago, and there would have been no chance for it to grow and prosper.

I suggest you take a cold shower, wake up from that poor vixen's spell, and think carefully about how to make amends for your mistake.

"I understand." Yang Qingwei looked at his aunt, who was trembling with anger, and suddenly it dawned on him.

I was indeed too impulsive and went too far!

Even if Li Qian mocked An Muya, it had little to do with me. I just wanted to help her out and say a few nice words. Why did I slap her in the face in a moment of madness?

In this way, An Muya was naturally elevated, but her behavior would give Chairman Ye and the other big shots a handle to use against her!

"I'll go find my uncle and explain things to him right away." He took a deep breath, looked warily outside the door and saw that there was no one there. Then he pulled his aunt to a corner and lowered his voice even further. "Ye Xingluo is definitely dead. This guy is definitely an imposter now."

I devised this whole scheme back then to keep Ye Xingchen on my side and prevent him from killing me.

This way, we can eliminate our common greatest enemy while also holding each other's weaknesses in order to ensure we don't interfere with each other's affairs. Neither of us will admit fault; Ye Xingluo has already been thrown into the pool and liquefied, not even a trace of his bones remains!

Yang Yingying frowned slightly. "If that's the case, then he was just someone who looked similar to the two old geezers. Perhaps he even had minor cosmetic surgery and spent so much time getting ready before they deliberately brought him out to fight for the family fortune."

But what's the point of doing that?

"These two old folks are getting on in years; they could pass away anytime soon. What good would it do if an imposter seized the Ye family's property?"

"Can't you even figure this out?" Yang Qingwei sneered. "He's just unhappy with my uncle."

The old man has more than one son!

Ye Xingluo is dead; Ye Xingchen is an unpopular illegitimate child; and I am an outsider.

The family is quite large, but none of them are the heir the old man has chosen. He definitely wants to use a fake to get his hands on the Ye family and then leave it to his illegitimate son.

I heard that one branch of the family had twin sons, both of whom are quite successful. The eldest son seems to be married and has twins too.

They must feel that one lineage is purer.

"Would that old woman be happy? She only has Ye Zhong as her son."

"My dear aunt, can't you understand this?"

The problem is, even her own son doesn't listen to her. What's the difference between having a disobedient son and not having one? The old woman is shrewd; she might have some other tricks up her sleeve!

"So, how do you plan to deal with this imposter?"

"The old man protected him too well, and I haven't been able to place any people in there. We can't handle this ourselves; let's see how Ye Xingchen deals with it."

If he chooses to remain inactive, I could try to bribe Dr. Han.

If we can get the fake blood sample, exposing him is just a matter of getting a paternity test result, right?

When the old man's plan fails, my uncle will definitely step in personally to thwart the other branch's plan to seize the inheritance!

Yang Yingying thought about it and felt that her nephew made sense, so she nodded and whispered a reminder: "Why don't you find an excuse to move into the villa in a couple of days?"

Your uncle cherishes Ye Xingchen dearly and still lets him live next door. Whenever they have time, the two of them chat privately.

We can't afford to lose this opportunity.

"You move in too, and we'll find a chance to take care of Ye Xingchen! Once he's dead, the imposter will be exposed sooner or later, and the Ye Group will eventually fall into our hands, won't it?"

"Very well." Yang Qingwei pondered for a moment, then snorted coldly, "I was originally planning to wait another two years before making a move against him, but now that the imposter is causing trouble, things might change if we delay. It's better to strike first!"

The two whispered for a while before Yang Qingwei came out of the room to look for Ye Zhong.

Meanwhile, An Muya, who had already basked in the limelight, was now immersed in Ye Xingchen's tenderness. The two strolled hand in hand under the trees by the lake, chatting happily about something.

"Ha, they've all set their sights on my prey?!" Ye Zhong stood in the hall, witnessing this scene, so angry that he gripped his wine glass so tightly that his fingers turned slightly white.

Yang Qingwei saw him from afar, composed himself, walked over and said, "Uncle, I've come to apologize to you."

"Oh?" Suddenly interrupted from his complicated thoughts, Ye Zhong turned around, his expression returning to its usual calm, and asked, "What did you do wrong?"

"I was too impulsive just now. It was really wrong of me to slap Li Qian in public. You didn't hear it. Li Qian's mockery of An Muya was too much. You know that I lost both my parents when I was young and had a very difficult life in a small mountain village. People often mocked and ridiculed me like that when I was a child."

So just now...

Having had a similar experience, and having drunk some alcohol, I acted impulsively and did something foolish.

I promise this will never happen again!

Even if Li Qian provoked them first and deliberately stirred up trouble at the celebration banquet, it should have been handled privately instead of being publicly humiliated, which only made them a laughingstock.

Hearing Yang Qingwei's explanation, and knowing that it was An Muya who had stood up to protect him, Ye Zhong's dissatisfaction subsided considerably.

He nodded and replied, "It's good that you know you were wrong. Remember this in the future: never act impulsively or rashly."

Even if someone uses the most vicious words to mock and ridicule you, you must remain calm, think things through carefully, and retaliate with the most appropriate means.

Chapter Twenty: The Methods Are More Wild Than the Last

"I've got it."

Ye Zhong waved his hand, signaling him to go and do his own thing, while his eyes drifted out the window to look for An Muya's shadow.

Yang Qingwei, who was strolling to the other side to get closer to the guests, immediately spotted Ye Xingchen and An Muya sitting intimately on a bench, chatting and laughing together in a very harmonious manner.

"Ye! Xing! Chen!" He nearly crushed the wine glass, gritting his teeth as he said, "Fine, I'll take the blame and you'll get the benefits. You even want to steal the woman I've set your sights on, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Host, it's getting quite a spectacle here with three men vying for one woman! You should head back first, I need to stay and watch the show!"

The little white cat was busy darting around and listening to gossip.

As the celebration banquet was about to end, Ye Zhong and Yang Yingying began to see the guests off. It hurriedly jumped onto its host's shoulder and reminded him, "You must keep a close eye on Cat Boss."

If we can drug them and force them to have sex quickly, then we should just drug them first and not worry about anything else!

You've drugged the protagonist in this mission world before, haven't you?

Hmm... was it the time you drugged the big black cat?

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, "Last time, the drugged Tangyuan and Doubao got together directly. Should we try to get them together this time?"

"It's fine as long as it's your decision, Host. You're the best anyway!" The little white cat kissed him on the cheek and then hopped off to watch the gossip up close.

Jiang Chen lagged behind and followed Ye Xingluo and Xu Mei all the way to the parking lot.
