After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.

I had just finished throwing up and felt much better, so I went to the living room to watch some design-related videos. While I was watching, the doorbell rang.

There were bodyguards all around the villa; needless to say, she must have been stopped and brought here by the bodyguards.

I couldn't help but wonder who would come over here. Just as I stood up, Zhang Yan, who was cooking in the kitchen, also came out.

"Sir, you can rest, I'll go take a look!"

I declined outright, saying, "No need, I've been sitting for a while, I'd like to go out for a walk and stretch my legs!"

At the main entrance, I saw two bodyguards standing on either side of me, with a man in an overcoat standing with his back to me.

When the bodyguard saw me come out, he bowed respectfully. "Sir, someone is looking for you!"

As he spoke, the man turned around. "Ye Qiu, it's been a long time."

Chen Yiran!

My gaze naturally fell on his hands, which were wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, indicating that he had just undergone surgery.

Seeing that I looked unwell, the bodyguard hurriedly explained, "Sir, he said he's a good friend of yours and Mr. Jiang, so I brought him in. If you don't want to see him, I'll take him away immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiran instantly exploded, "Do you even know what you're saying? I was the one who should have lived here! I am your master! It's just that Ye Qiu has taken over right now, but one day I'll take it all back!"

The two bodyguards exchanged a glance and looked at Chen Yiran as if he were an idiot.

The bodyguard looked at me. "Sir, let's kick him out now!"

I glanced at Chen Yiran, who looked like he wanted to devour me. "No need, you guys go wait over there for a while, I'll talk to him!"

There was nothing Chen Yiran could do to me from behind the iron fence.

The bodyguard stepped aside, and Zhang Yan stood next to me, staring at Chen Yiran warily. "Sir, would you like me to stay with you?"

"It's okay, I'll be back in a bit!"

Chen Yiran is now talking recklessly, and I'm really worried that he might say something nonsensical. If others find out, they might drag us into an investigation.

Zhang Yan brought out a chair for me, while he waited at a distance that wasn't too far away.

After I sat down, I looked at Chen Yiran in front of me and said, "Speak, what do you want to see me about?"

Chen Yiran gripped the fence, looking at me with a mixture of excitement and anger. "Ye Qiu, you truly live up to your reputation as a vicious male supporting character. You wouldn't even let Jiang Yuwei pay for my surgery, causing me to lose my hand. You really can't shake your ruthless nature."

I immediately found it laughable. "Chen Yiran, you really have a vivid imagination. It was Jiang Yuwei who rejected you, what does that have to do with me?!"

I really can't believe that Chen Yiran's brain is that of a male lead; he's completely love-struck and a pathetic wretch who only knows how to rely on the female lead.

Chen Yiran's face turned ashen. "Ye Qiu, stop pretending. If you hadn't been lying to Jiang Yuwei and misleading her, she wouldn't have been so cruel to me."

"..."

I simply cannot understand Chen Yiran's thought process. Has he ever really understood Jiang Yuwei? Who can stop Jiang Yuwei from doing what she wants to do? He would rather believe that I can persuade Jiang Yuwei than admit that it was Jiang Yuwei's decision.

Then every time, they would just throw the blame on me based on their own imagination.

I sneered, "Chen Yiran, are you overestimating yourself, or are you thinking too highly of Jiang Yuwei? Stop deceiving yourself. You know very well that it's Jiang Yuwei who's unwilling to help you, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Chen Yiran slammed his fist on the iron gate, gritting his teeth as he said, "Shut up, Ye Qiu! This is all because of you! You don't know your place as a supporting male character! If you had followed the plot and ended up with Gu Mengmeng, I would have been with Jiang Yuwei long ago, and the world would be normal!"

It's ridiculous. Originally, it was just about the male supporting character, but now they're bringing up the world.

I sneered, "Chen Yiran, I think you've really lost your mind. This world is normal, you're the abnormal one. Why don't you use your time to study and improve yourself? Don't you think it's a waste of your time to talk nonsense with me all day?"

"You're pinning your hopes on women. There aren't many good women out there, and Jiang Yuwei is no exception. Instead of getting stuck in this so-called plot, you should work hard yourself. You'll get what you want."

I don't believe in the so-called predetermined plot. Even if there's only a one percent chance, I'll fight for myself. No matter the outcome, at least I tried and won't regret it!

But Chen Yiran didn't want to do anything from beginning to end; he just wanted to get everything by relying on his so-called male lead luck.

Chen Yiran glared at me fiercely, "Stop giving me these high-sounding lectures, Ye Qiu. You've taken everything from me, and it's all rightfully mine. You have to give it all back to me."

I sneered, "Since you insist on saying that, then I'm sorry, but I, the villainous male supporting character, am determined to have these things. If you want, go find Jiang Yuwei and have her come and talk to me."

Chen Yiran instantly flew into a rage, "Ye Qiu, how could you do this? These aren't yours, and you won't get away with taking them!"

I curled my lips in disdain. "Is that so? It's a pity that something I, a supporting male character, can obtain so easily, while you, the male lead, can't get no matter what you do. Sigh, it's really pathetic."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yiran's usual docile demeanor vanished, replaced by a murderous glint in his eyes. "Ye Qiu, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, I continued, "Chen Yiran, you really should reflect on yourself. Is it because you, the male lead, are too useless that I, the male supporting character, have everything?"

Chen Yiran's grip on the fence tightened suddenly, his fingertips turning white, showing that he was using a lot of force.

"Ye Qiu, don't be so smug. Jiang Yuwei won't have a good ending with you. She's gone against the plot to help you time and time again, which means she's destined for this..."
