After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"She's bringing breakfast to your brother," Qin Song explained frankly. "After delivering breakfast, she'll hitch a ride with your brother on the way to the studio to discuss project collaborations."

"...Is she crazy?" Pei Lingxuan turned around and glanced at Shen Yanhui, her criticism being very direct. "My brother has a family and a wife, why does he need her to bring him breakfast? Is she up to something?"

"Perhaps." Qin Song smiled indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Pei Lingxuan looked at her with some surprise: "Sister-in-law, you're so calm?"

Qin Song: "Why can't I stay calm?"

"Ding--"

As they were talking, the elevator arrived, and Pei Lingxuan and Qin Song walked in side by side. Since they were the only two people in the elevator, Pei Lingxuan continued, "Shen Yanhui is obviously up to no good. Aren't you worried, sister-in-law? Or do you already know what she's up to and have already thought of a countermeasure, so you're not worried at all?"

Qin Song answered truthfully: "Neither of them."

Pei Lingxuan raised an eyebrow: "Neither of them?! Then what is it?"

Qin Song recalled Pei Xingzhi's distant behavior towards Shen Yanhui, and a smile immediately spread across his eyes.

"It's because your brother gives me a sense of security. Your brother's contact with Shen Yanhui is entirely for work. Apart from work, your brother ignores any approach from Shen Yanhui. Your brother knows what she wants, but he can't offend her for the time being, so he can only refuse her politely every time. Every word he says about refusing her is that he has a wife, so he doesn't give me any chance to misunderstand."

"He's gone to such lengths, what do I have to worry about?"

“That’s true!” Upon hearing Qin Song’s words, Pei Lingxuan instantly understood her mindset.

The elevator arrived at their floor, and Pei Lingxuan took her arm and walked out, saying proudly, "My brother is really amazing. He is extremely responsible and attentive to his family and wife, and there is not a single fault he can find. When I look for a husband in the future, I want to find someone like my brother."

Qin Song: "Absolutely. If the husband you find in the future is not even as good as your brother, then no one in our family will agree to this marriage."

"Okay!" Pei Lingxuan obediently replied, "I feel relieved with you guys overseeing things!"

Qin Song had already warned Sun Jianguo at the company yesterday, and today, as soon as she appeared, Sun Jianguo had someone call her and Pei Lingxuan into his office.

Although he was stupid and disgusting, he wasn't ungrateful. As soon as Pei Lingxuan submitted her resignation, he obediently handed over his pay stubs.

Pei Lingxuan checked the attendance days and deduction details, and after confirming that there were no problems, she signed it.

From entering the company to completing the procedures and leaving, the entire process went very smoothly without any obstacles.

"Hey... Sister-in-law really knows how to handle things." Looking at her payslip, which didn't have a large amount but hadn't been reduced by a single penny, Pei Lingxuan felt a sense of relief.

Qin Song took out his phone to hail a taxi, and said with a smile, "To deal with this kind of scoundrel, you have to be even more scoundrel than him. In the future, you must think carefully before you decide whether to take a job or not. Don't make yourself suffer by earning a pittance."

Pei Lingxuan snuggled affectionately against Qin Song and replied in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."

It was still early, so Pei Lingxuan didn't rush to let Qin Song go home. She entered the tutoring class that Pei's mother attended into a ride-hailing app and coaxed Qin Song to go pick up Pei's mother from get out of class with her.

Pei's mother only had classes in the morning today. After picking them up, they happily went to Pei's mother's house and asked her to cook something delicious for them.

The Pei family seemed to believe and accept Qin Song's repentance. Now, even when Pei Xingzhi was not around, Pei's mother and Pei Lingxuan could talk and laugh with her without any worries, and even let her take a nap in Pei's mother's room. They treated her completely as family and had no defenses against her at all.

Qin Song spent the afternoon at Pei's mother's house, eating, drinking, and taking things with him. When he returned, he was carrying a lot of things that Pei's mother had given him.

She took out her phone, snapped a picture of her "haul" for the day, and sent it to Pei Xingzhi.

—No need to cook tonight, Mom's food is enough.

Pei Xingzhi was very busy with work and always replied to messages slowly. Qin Song put his phone away after sending the message, not expecting Pei Xingzhi to reply immediately.

"Ode to Qin".

Suddenly, a strange man walked over from the side of the building and blocked Qin Song's way home.

Qin Song stared at him blankly, but accurately identified him by the beauty mark under his eye.

Lin Jiahe, the female supporting character's first love in college, is pure and devoted, and is arguably the only person in the novel who truly loved her. However, the female supporting character didn't take his love seriously.

The female supporting character met Lu Yibai while dating him and became completely infatuated with him. In order to be with Lu Yibai, she dumped him and seamlessly moved into Lu Yibai's arms.

Lin Jiahe was heartbroken and went abroad alone on the day the supporting actress got engaged to Lu Yibai. She hasn't returned for several years.

This tragic character doesn't have many scenes in the novel, and Qin Song doesn't know what his fate is, let alone why he suddenly appears here.

"Lin Jiahe, is there something you need?" Qin Song didn't want to guess his purpose, so he asked directly.

Lin Jiahe stared directly at her. From her beautiful face even without makeup, to her simple and fresh plain dress, and then to the several insulated bags she was carrying.

He looked at Qin Song several times, but didn't answer a single word.

Qin Song's current appearance seemed to have greatly surprised him. He, who should have hated Qin Song, could not find a trace of hatred in his eyes at this moment.

"...I thought you would eventually marry Lu Yibai."

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Jiahe finally spoke, but what she said was completely nonsensical.

Qin Song curled her lips into a slight smile: "The person Lu Yibai likes is the real heiress of the Qin family, not Qin Song, so I am destined not to marry him."

Qin Song showed no hostility towards Lin Jiahe. Lin Jiahe was the female supporting character's first love, and also the person she felt most sorry for.

Whether from Qin Song's own perspective or the female supporting character's perspective, she didn't think she should hate Lin Jiahe.

"Hmph," Lin Jiahe sneered, a blatant mockery on his clean-cut and handsome face, "You kicked me aside back then so you could be with him, and now you regret it?"

"I have no regrets." Qin Song sensed his malice, but remained calm and friendly. "I chose this path myself, and I won't regret it. Besides, I'm married now, my husband treats me very well, and I'm very happy."

"Happiness?" Lin Jiahe glanced back at the old apartment building, her tone sarcastic. "You think you're happy marrying a bankrupt man? You think you're happy living in a place like this?"

"Qin Song, what are you trying to prove in front of me when you're like this?"
