I played the role of a cannon fodder scumbag, but I was the heartthrob

"I checked you out."

Ye Zhao turned around suddenly and stared at her, "What do you want to do?"

Ignoring the angry flames in his eyes, Mrs. Ji pointed to the seat opposite and said, "Don't get excited. I just know something interesting. Would you like to sit down and listen first?"

Ye Zhao looked hesitant.

……

After returning home, Ye Zhao was in a daze, as if he had experienced a terrible nightmare.

He staggered to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of purified water.

Just as he was about to drink it, he remembered Mrs. Ji's words -

"I know your father."

"Why, I held you in my arms when you were little."

"Ah, in the blink of an eye, you've grown so big. You really look like your father."

"If you want to chat with me, I'm sorry I can't keep you company."

"You are too impatient, kid."

"Okay, I guess you don't know? Your father met Madam Shen when he committed suicide in prison."

There was the sound of a coffee cup being knocked over, followed by the sound of water dripping.

Ye Zhao hurriedly wiped it with a tissue.

But the brown coffee was like his stained life, the more he wiped it, the dirtier it became.

Finally, he couldn't wipe it off anymore and gave up.

He threw the scattered tissues into the trash can in despair, and the calm mask on his face was torn to pieces.

He thought he was disguising himself well, and his voice didn't tremble. "What do you want to achieve by saying this?"

Madam Ji sighed, "Child, I just can't stand you being kept in the dark. Everything you and your family have experienced is the work of Madam Shen."

"Impossible!" he denied flatly.

"She's a powerful woman who dominates the business world. She's ruthless and anyone who offends her Shen family will suffer a terrible fate."

"You're young and probably don't remember it, and your mother didn't tell you. Shen Qingshu's father was arguing with Shen Qingshu's mother while driving, and because he was distracted, he collided with your father's car."

"They fell off a cliff with their car. Your father, desperate to get back home to celebrate your birthday, tried his best to turn around, but you still didn't get to celebrate your birthday with him. He was in jail and should have been released after five years, but then Madam Shen said something when she went in, and your father committed suicide. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"No, my mother said that my father was driving under the influence..." Ye Zhao tried to clarify, but his words were so pale.

Madam Ji covered her lips and smiled. "You kid, when you were little you kept saying your father was wronged and you wanted to seek justice for him when you grew up. Have you accepted the reality now?"

The sourness in Ye Zhao's chest accumulated and fermented.

In the world of children, who have never experienced the harshness of society, they are naturally stubborn and will never admit defeat.

Now that he has smoothed out his edges through experience, he has gradually accepted reality like his mother.

Even Dad, isn't it?

It is an indisputable fact that the dead can never come back.

The license still can't change anything, the reality is a chasm that cannot be crossed.

"Or..." Madam Ji's expression was cold, and she speculated boldly, "Now that you are immersed in the splendor and wealth of the Shen family, and in the little love bestowed upon you by your enemy's child, you have already lost your original heart and no longer care about your so-called father who committed suicide out of fear of punishment?

Ye Zhao pulled himself away from the bad memories and leaned against the refrigerator door.

What the hell is this?

"System, could it be that in the previous life, the scumbag completely killed the protagonist and his family because of this?"

The system in my brain snapped its fingers and said, "Don't tell me, it really is like that."

Ye Zhao raised his head and took a sip of water. "Honestly, Madam Shen seems like a good person, not someone who would do such a thing. Why didn't the scumbag check it out?"

[In her previous life, Madam Shen looked down on the scumbag and never treated him well.]

[Also, even if there's a hidden story, we still have to go along with the plot.]

Ye Zhao blinked, "What plot?"

Madam Shen is about to get the documents about your life in Liang Village, read them thoroughly, and gather everyone to expose you as a liar.

The scumbag knew about it in advance, so he wanted to persuade Qi to keep it secret and use Shen Qingshu to provoke her.

Later, during an argument, the scumbag became murderous and pushed Madam Shen down from the building.

He took the document and burned it without leaving any trace.

This was the case in the previous life. In this life, Shen Qingshu was reborn. She saved Old Madam Shen in danger, exposed the scumbag on the spot, and divorced him.

Ye Zhao screwed the bottle shut and shrugged, "Then I don't need to actually push Madam Shen down. I can just have the villain die and buy time until Shen Qingshu shows up to kill her."

[Yes, yes.] The system snapped its fingers.

Suddenly, Ye Zhao asked it, "It's so quiet at home, it's weird. Help me check, is Shen Qingshu not here?"

[Ding! He's definitely not here.]

"Where did you go?"

"Go out and see Pei Su."

Ye Zhao smiled knowingly, "Hehe, I understand. It seems that people who are destined to meet will always meet each other even if they are thousands of miles apart. I don't need to do anything for them to succeed."

[Host, didn't you find someone to rescue the scumbag's mother?] The system asked hurriedly.

Ye Zhao nodded, "There is no news at the moment, but as soon as there is news, you will tell me as soon as possible."

When Zhang San fell out with his friends, he let the system make the arrangements. Money talks, and it was only a matter of time before he was rescued.

"Calabash Brothers, Calabash Brothers, seven melons on one vine..."

The familiar ringtone of the incoming phone rang, and Ye Zhao felt very annoyed.

He picked up the phone, and the boss's voice, filled with rage, swept over him. "Ye Zhao, you traitor, how dare you betray me and send people to rescue your mother? You're dreaming! I tell you, it's a good thing I moved your mother to another place early, so the people you sent came back empty-handed!"

"I'm warning you! If you dare to have any unruly thoughts again, I'll cut your mother into pieces and mail them to you in bags!"
