C1 Of Course He Chose to Forgive Her!!

"Could it be that I've got the wrong script?" Chiang Chen flipped through the pages in his hand once more, his face etched with confusion as he looked down and inquired.

Sharing the immense sphere of light with him was a small white fluffball of a kitten. It serenely groomed its paws and fluffed up its large, furry ears before shaking its head and responding in a delicate, child-like voice, "No mistake here, dear.

Allow me to introduce myself properly. I'm Xiaobai.

I am your assigned Best Male Supporting Role System!

As the Host, your task is quite straightforward.

Complete the missions issued by the system and excel as the best male supporting role!

Finish all the missions across each plane, and you'll earn the opportunity for rebirth.

Xiaobai is truly saddened by the Host's untimely demise. Therefore... I will do everything in my power to assist you in completing the missions and achieving rebirth!"

Chiang Chen gazed at Xiaobai with an impassive face as the kitten energetically clenched a paw and enthusiastically gestured with the script, "So, you're saying that even in death, I've crossed over with a system and a 'Gold Finger' just to play a supporting role?

Take another look at this script. The female lead is plucked from a humble village, showered with affection and meticulously groomed, all to be presented, spotless, to the male lead's bed?

I'm also supposed to aid the bastard male lead in his unchallenged return to high society, only to be crushed underfoot as he usurps the corporation, ascending to the pinnacle of the world and securing a legacy with the female lead.

Tell me, has the male supporting role's brain been devoured?"

"It hasn't been devoured.

Because the character was never meant to have a brain, just a loyal lapdog," Xiaobai retorted, curling into a white furball with a nonchalant air. "Who can blame her? She's the female lead, shrouded in a halo.

Love at first sight, dumbing down the opposition, shifting blame, and being cold and calculating are all par for the course.

Look at it from another angle; she's the quintessential 'rags to riches' story. And on her ascent, how could she possibly do without the stalwart support of a male supporting role?

Host, don't overthink it. Just concentrate on fulfilling your mission.

Should you fail a mission on any plane, you'll forfeit your chance at rebirth!

The story is connecting, and the Host should prepare to immerse themselves in the world..."

"Three, two, one, go!"

As the light screen faded, Chiang Chen found himself at the entrance of a prestigious university.

Opposite him stood the tearful heroine, Du Xinyu, and behind her, the tall, handsome, and modestly dressed male lead—Su Li.

In the crowded scene of students leaving school, the trio stood out conspicuously.

It was like the opening scene of a classic drama where a wealthy young master humiliates a couple in love and gets his comeuppance from an underprivileged student.

"Mr. Chen, I'm truly sorry. We need to break up," Du Xinyu said, tears still streaking her face, her voice laden with sorrow. "Xiner... Xiner just can't betray her own heart. I truly love Ah Li. Please forgive me..."

Her innocent eyes brimmed with tears, casting a shadow beneath her long lashes. Her fragile demeanor evoked an instinctive desire to protect her.

Du Xinyu sniffled softly, dabbing the tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, her resolve clear. "Mr. Chen, please stop pursuing me. Forgive Xiner for seeking true love. From now on, let's not see each other again."

Su Li's brow creased with concern, but before he could speak, Chiang Chen cut him off, "How could I stand to see you upset? So, let's follow your heart. We're done."

The rich young master's swift agreement took Su Li by surprise, prompting him to raise an eyebrow in silence.

Du Xinyu was equally stunned.

She hadn't expected to shake off this wealthy yet clueless admirer so effortlessly, despite his willingness to lavish money on her.

But Su Li, who was taller, more handsome, and brimming with potential, was a catch she needed to secure. Only by his side, when he reached the pinnacle of success, could she claim a shared journey through thick and thin.

Perched on his shoulder, Xiaobai spoke with satisfaction, "Congratulations, Host, on completing the first mission of this realm: Of course, you choose to forgive her! Mission Reward: 10 million yuan, already deposited into your bank account."

With a subtle smile playing on his lips, Chiang Chen continued, his voice tinged with nostalgia, "I still remember the first time we met."

Four years ago, I trekked through the vast expanse of the Great Mount Dami region. It was in a quaint little valley where I encountered Xiner, returning home with her load of freshly chopped wood. Back then, her appearance was a stark contrast to the radiant beauty she is today; her skin was darkened by the sun, her frame slender, and her face and hair were caked with the grime of hard work—her unwashed hair matted and greasy.

Yet, even amidst that, her eyes shone with the same captivating brightness they do now, stirring the heart with their beauty.

Du Xinyu, whose face had been etched with sorrow, suddenly blanched. The last thing she wanted to remember was the lowliness of her origins. In her eagerness to escape that past, she had cozied up to a wealthy heir, playing the part of the tragic figure to garner sympathy. She even manipulated her parents, who valued sons over daughters, into severing familial ties for a sum of 20,000 yuan.

She had charmed a wealthy suitor, securing a life of luxury in a villa—a far cry from what she could have ever imagined. All she desired was a better life, away from the prying eyes that might expose her past struggles. Was it so wrong to push away those who had witnessed her at her lowest when better opportunities arose?

"No... Please, no more! We're through, so why can't you just leave Xiner alone?" Du Xinyu's voice trembled with rage, acutely aware of the judgmental stares from the students around her.

Chiang Chen looked on, the picture of innocence. "Don't speak like that. Your happiness is my joy. I wholeheartedly support your quest for true love. I'm not sure what's upset you, but please, Xiner, don't let it get to you. If you want to break up, then we'll break up."

He then turned to Su Li, whose expression was tinged with discomfort, and delivered a stern warning: "Su Li, I'm entrusting you with the Xiner I've cherished and protected. From this day forward, if you treat her poorly, I will not stand for it. Make no mistake: Since I brought Xiner to Silk City, I've given her a new name and a new life. She's not to be looked down upon.

Her health is delicate; she needs bird's nest soup and ginseng daily to sustain her. She's prone to melancholy, so indulge her with weekend shopping sprees that bring her joy—spending tens of thousands if need be. And remember, she requires at least four international trips a year, staying exclusively in the presidential suites of Intercontinental Hotels, with a limousine at her disposal."

In addition to the essential monthly full spa treatments at Silk City's top beauty salon, her skin would revert to its original rough, dark, and high-altitude ruddiness without them.

And here's the most crucial point: Xiner never attended school while living in the mountain village, so her educational foundation is quite weak. I've been spending five million a year to secure her a spot as an auditor in university classes, and I've hired tutors for every subject, as well as instructors for piano, dance, and poise to provide home lessons. If she fails to pass her exams by graduation, Xiner will miss out on even a basic completion certificate.

Since Xiner no longer wishes to see me, Su Li, you'll be responsible for these matters from now on. Xiner has expressed her desire to earn an official diploma and pursue postgraduate and doctoral studies. I can't be there to support her journey, so if you fail to take good care of her, you're not acting like a man!"

Du Xinyu was stunned, her previously feigned fragility contorting into a grimace of rage. And this guy's voice was so loud! His bellowing carried so clearly that even those not eavesdropping could hear, making her the center of attention!

"Chu Jiangchen!" she shouted in a fit of rage, "Shut up! What are you trying to say? Are you still after our money?"

Chiang Chen's face showed sheer panic, like a child caught in a misdeed, as he pleaded, "Xiner, please don't be mad. I'll transfer the money, okay? Whenever you're upset, I've always sent 131452 to cheer you up, and I'll do it right now!"

Su Li's expression turned to one of discomfort, and he stepped back slightly from Du Xinyu.

"But... we've broken up," Chiang Chen said, his face falling as he fumbled with his phone. He looked up at her contorted expression and spoke with a touch of melancholy, "If I send you that amount again, your new boyfriend won't be pleased. But I'm relieved to know that you've grown up and formed your own opinions. Over these four years, you've managed to save at least three million in your bank account, which should cover your expenses with him.

Just remember, if he ever mistreats you, come find me! You overheard me talking with a friend about this a couple of weeks ago."

The revelation that Su Li was the Su family's illegitimate child would soon become common knowledge.

The Su family should welcome him back, despite the awkwardness. After all, he is their progeny and likely won't lack for funds. Having him by your side means I... I probably don't need to worry about you anymore..."

With those words, Chiang Chen feigned the sorrow of a broken heart and strode toward the luxury car parked by the curb, not looking back.

Xiaobai, crouched and bewildered, exclaimed, "Host, your moves were bold and powerful, but why do I sense that something's off?"

Chiang Chen climbed into the car, fired up the engine, and responded, "How did I do on my mission?"

"Main System Evaluation: Completed in one second, absolutely flawless!" Xiaobai scratched his ear with a paw, adding, "Still, something feels odd..."
