The Supporting Male Characters Who Died Alone All Those Years Later

Chapter 15 - Passing the Inheritance to the Female Lead's Son (7)



After holding hands, everything fell into place naturally. Whenever He Dongchen had free time, he would go to the school to accompany Su Li for meals, and once they even attended a big lecture together.

With such a handsome stranger sitting in the class auditorium, even those who were indifferent couldn’t help but notice.

The boys lamented that the goddess already had someone, while the girls envied Su Li for having such a restrained boyfriend!

Having just came from a negotiation, He Dongchen, in a strict black suit, exuded strong control. With his high nose bridge supporting gold-framed glasses, he epitomized the elite style. Now, he sat with one leg crossed over the other in the classroom, casually holding a pen and occasionally glancing at Su Li beside him. With a smile in his eyes, he appeared both serious and gentle, embodying two seemingly contradictory qualities harmoniously in one person.

Su Li felt the classmates around were all casting glances here and there, her cheeks flushed, unable to help but lean closer to He Dongchen and plead, “How about you leave first?” Her voice was soft and sweet.

“No, I want to stay, asserting my sovereignty,” He Dongchen said, holding Su Li’s hand and leaning down to lightly kiss the back of it, as gentle as a feather’s touch, fleeting.

Boom!

Su Li’s face turned completely red! She buried her head into He Dongchen’s side like a thief, as if saying, ‘They can’t see me, can’t see me!’

He Dongchen chuckled softly, his chest vibrating. Su Li listened to the strong and magnetic heartbeat and laughter by her ear, feeling like a deer thrashing around, especially the sensation of his hand, even though the suit, she could feel the sturdy muscles.

Subconsciously, she reached out and touched.

“Don’t move.” He Dongchen grabbed Su Li’s mischievous hand, his voice husky.

Su Li suddenly realized what she had done and felt extreme embarrassment!

The location, the posture, it seemed like a certain adult movie!

Ah! I can’t face anyone anymore!

During one class, Su Li practically spent the time with her head on the desk, cursing He Dongchen who kept holding and rubbing her hand.

When the bell for the end of class rang, Su Li almost fled the scene, while He Dongchen laughed brightly behind her.

While the two of them were talking sweetly in love, on the other side, Yu Le was miserable. Because she had been refusing to become Hue Lei’s girlfriend, this little young master Hue Lei, in a fit of anger, halted the production!

Yes, he halted it!

Yu Le was incredulous. This was an investment of tens of millions, with hundreds of people working on it for over 3 months, and just as they were about to finish, Hue Lei called it off!

She stormed into Hue Lei’s house, pointing at him and angrily scolding, “Hue Lei, are you out of your mind! Calling it off now, have you even thought about how others feel!?”

She had finally secured a leading role, and just as her career was about to take off, it was halted! She might as well be dead!

Hue Lei, still hungover from last night, was now groggy. He got angry on the spot, “I have money, I’m willing to do it! If you don’t like it, heh, you can’t do anything about it!”

Yu Le’s face turned pale with anger, “Can you stop being so childish!”

“So what if I’m childish, bite me!” Hue Lei yelled back angrily, then staggered and fell on the sofa, snoring away.

Yu Le was shaking with anger, kicking him hard twice.

In the future, she would stand before Qin Feng with dignity, not like in her past life, barging into Qin Feng’s room in a daze, being regarded as a woman with impure intentions, looked at with disdainful eyes.

How could Yu Le ever agree to be Hue Lei’s girlfriend, adding another black mark to her history.

She was frustrated but helpless. Just as Hue Lei said, he had money, a lot of money. Tens of millions could be spent carelessly, and he simply didn’t care.

Yu Le felt like she had gone back to the old days. She had been working hard for half a year but gained nothing.

The film and television city was so small. Once a production halted, especially because the female lead refused to be in a relationship with the male lead, it spread like wildfire. And it escalated rapidly. A production that had little presence suddenly became a hot topic, attracting a lot of onlookers.

[Oh my god, this male lead has no integrity, using this kind of thing to threaten a girl.]

[The female lead is pitiful. She finally got to play the female lead, and just as it was about to finish, such a mess happened. Isn’t this the blatant unwritten rule?]

[The efforts of hundreds of people in a production, halted because of this, if I were the director, I would be furious to the point of spitting blood.]

The online discussion was heated, mostly condemning Hue Lei. In no time, Hue Lei’s information was dug up. He was the young master of a certain conglomerate, indeed, being rich meant being willful!

Seeing the direction of public opinion, Yu Le suddenly had a brainstorm and established herself as someone who didn’t fear authority. She had previously signed with one of the top entertainment companies and had a resourceful agent. Immediately, she mobilized her fans and after some maneuvering, successfully overtook Hue Lei.

With the surge in popularity, various invitations poured in, mostly for variety shows.

Yu Le turned the tables, leaving those in the industry in awe. This strategy was truly remarkable. She wasn’t afraid of retaliation from Hue Lei.

Upon learning about it, He Dongchen couldn’t help but sigh. This reborn woman had some skills, and a strong heart at that.

By the end of October, the web series invested in by He Dongchen and Su Li finished filming and entered post-production. He Dongchen used his connections, and soon it was available on a certain streaming platform.

The director, Liu Hao, and the lead actors almost obsessively monitored the viewership data. With He Dongchen as the investor, he could relax a bit and even had time to take his girlfriend out on dates.

Then tragedy struck, and unfortunately, one day, he was caught.

Looking at the smiling Su Dong in front of him, He Dongchen’s smile was bitter. Why did this ‘father-in-law’ come to inspect the amusement park now? It was quite a coincidence that they bumped into each other while getting off the Ferris wheel.

Can you imagine the scene of walking off the Ferris wheel with your girlfriend, only to be greeted by your father-in-law standing on the ground?

Su Li looked like a mischievous elementary school student, hiding half of her face behind He Dongchen. Her delicate mouth was alluring, her cheeks slightly flushed. It wasn’t hard to imagine what they had been doing on the Ferris wheel just now.

“Uncle Su,” He Dongchen greeted the father-in-law with a smile.

“Dad,” Su Li also whispered softly, sounding tender and affectionate.

Father Su looked at the two of them cuddling together, especially his silly daughter, and his smile grew increasingly dangerous.

The date predictably ended midway, leaving He Dongchen to watch helplessly as his girlfriend was taken away by her parent, unable to do anything but sigh deeply.

Afterwards, Father He found out about the incident and laughed until his sides hurt. He gave his son a lesson on how to please his future father-in-law.

To show their sincerity, the He family of three went to the Su family’s house the next day with gifts.

Mother He was very pleased with Su Li, holding her hand affectionately. Su Li felt a bit shy, but being a young lady from a wealthy family, she behaved gracefully, with both the charm of a young girl and the maturity of a grown woman.

The two families sat down for a meal. The He family intended to propose, but Father Su felt that his daughter was still young at 20 and shouldn’t be tied down too soon. He politely declined.

He Dongchen sulked, then turned to Su Li for comfort, acting spoiled.

***

Su Li looked at He Dongchen, who had laid his head on her lap, and glanced nervously at the door of the office lounge.

“Don’t worry, I locked the door,” He Dongchen reassured her. With more and more projects being invested in, he now had an office in He Capital and had formed his own team.

“It’s broad daylight, why did you lock the door?” Su Li pouted teasingly.

“Help me take off my glasses, and I’ll tell you.”

Without much thought, Su Li reached out and removed He Dongchen’s glasses, placing them on the small coffee table nearby. Before she could say anything, a large hand touched the back of her head, and suddenly everything spun, and she found herself pinned on the sofa.

“You, you, you… you’re being a pervert!” Su Li stuttered as she looked at the handsome face so close to hers. He Dongchen usually appeared serious when wearing glasses, exuding a sense of restraint. But now, without his glasses, he seemed to transform into a wolf, his aggressiveness overflowing!

Her legs turned to jelly. Whimpering softly.

He Dongchen chuckled lightly, lowering his head to kiss those rosy lips, savoring them wantonly.

Afterward, Su Li covered her mouth and fled the lounge, not setting foot in it for a whole half month.

Once the web series went live, the response was positive, it could be considered a small hit. Director Liu Hao made a name for himself in one fell swoop, and script investments poured in. As the main investor, He Dongchen earned a considerable profit, feeling pleased with himself. His name officially caught the attention of some big shots; he was no longer just the only son of the He family.

Initially investing 5 million alongside He Dongchen, Su Li’s returns tripled after deducting He Dongchen’s commission. He Dongchen had intended to forgo the commission, but Su Li adamantly objected. It had been agreed upon previously, and it shouldn’t be counted. Their love should be pure, without any mixed interests. Riding on the investment was one thing, but not giving the commission would mean letting He Dongchen and his employees work for nothing.

As the profits continued to roll in, Su Li looked happily at the bills, planting a kiss on He Dongchen’s face.

“Looks like I’ve hugged a gold mine!” She touched his cheek.

“In fact, you can hug other places too, like the waist and the back,” He Dongchen replied.

Su Li widened her eyes and raised her hand to hit him. “You’re so improper!”

“It’s someone’s improper thoughts,” He Dongchen retorted.

“He Dongchen!”
