The Supporting Male Characters Who Died Alone All Those Years Later

He Dongchen looked at Feng Ruying, who stood still without taking a step, lowered his head and chuckled softly, then suddenly lifted his foot and took a step forward.

Feng Ruying remained calm, standing still. Her slightly disoriented breath brushed against He Dongchen’s neck, earning a deep chuckle from him, leisurely and with a hint of pleasure.

She immediately lowered her eyes, staring at his brown leather shoes, and tried to calm herself, “Can’t I ask?”

The limited-time consumption task seemed to have no meaning at all, except to toy with her.

Unfortunately, Assistant Feng, was busy with work. If she had read a few more spendthrift novels, her imagination might have been greater.

[Poor thing,] the system sighed.

He Dongchen bent slightly and then raised his hand, lightly touching Feng Ruying’s thick and dense eyelashes.

Startled, Feng Ruying immediately took a step back, looking at him in astonishment.

“You…”

“I just want to,” He Dongchen cut in, then casually glanced at his watch, smiling gently, “Half an hour, 50 million.”

Feng Ruying stared wide-eyed, “!!!”

What romantic reverie, all instantly dissipated before the task.

A hundred scenarios flashed through her mind rapidly, on how to quickly and valuably spend 50 million.

In the end, Feng Ruying invested in a semi-charitable film for her boss.

Film title; ‘Searching for Relatives.’

***

Afterwards, when the He family found out about it, they were furious.

Who are they mocking?

The He family’s failed recognition brought laughter from many.

Especially their rivals, who taunted them under the guise of concern.

“Isn’t he your son?”

“What a pity.”

Every time Father and Mother He heard those words, they became infuriated. They forced smiles outside and raged at home.

One day, Mother He was upset outside and slammed her handbag on the sofa when she returned home, tears streaming down her face in anger. “He’s my son! He is my son! No matter how rich he is, he’s still my son!”

Father He sighed deeply, his mind in turmoil.

How could things have turned out like this?

Was the He family destined to have only one capable son? Was there no room for two tigers on one mountain?

Compared to the two, He Bei wasn’t so troubled. After reclaiming his identity, he was simply carefree. He ate steak with chopsticks or with his hands, poured himself a full glass of red wine and gulped it down.

After 3 years of suppression, He Bei was finally letting loose. In less than 3 months, he had gained weight.

Mu Xue watched as he gradually put on weight. Now, no one would mistake him for Gu Wenyu of Ruifeng Group.

Originally, they differed only in temperament, but now there was also a difference of 20 kilograms.

Mu Xue rubbed her forehead and asked, “Does your older brother still refuse to recognize you?”

“He said he would wait for the investigation results. There are hundreds of people on the recognition list. He doesn’t believe the information we provided. When will he find out about the He family after checking one by one? The other party’s rich and powerful. Can we pressure him to recognize his relatives?”

“But who cares? If he doesn’t recognize us, he doesn’t. In the future, the He family will be mine,” He Bei said carelessly. “After all, he did say the He family’s possessions aren’t enough for his annual charity work.”

Mu Xue clutched her skirt tightly. Yes, even if He Bei became a ball, the He family was still behind him, ensuring a lifetime of ease and freedom.

He Dongchen had the ability, so why didn’t he just bankrupt the He family? Mu Xue was resentful and dissatisfied!

Wait a minute!

Mu Xue squinted at He Bei, who was nervously tapping his legs and playing games. Why couldn’t I make the He family mine?

After enduring so much humiliation for so long, she had to take something.

***

The system, which had been observing her all along, clicked its tongue. [Mu Xue is really going to turn completely dark.]

He Dongchen casually nodded, his gaze fixed on Feng Ruying, who was diligently working.

At this moment, she sat behind his office desk, looking serious. The white light from the computer illuminated her face. Her already elegant features now carried a hint of coldness.

Feeling uneasy under the continuous scrutiny of the big boss, Feng Ruying could only try to keep a straight face.

Knock knock!

Ai Bi knocked on the door and entered. Seeing Feng Ruying, an assistant, sitting in the big boss’s seat and handling work with great composure, she remained calm.

“The cooperation with the He family has been completely terminated,” Ai Bi reported.

“Okay, thank you for your hard work,” Feng Ruying replied, taking the documents and skillfully flipping through them.

Ai Bi even saw Feng Ruying casually signing the big boss’s name!

Wow!

Do these two really not have an affair?

Or has the big boss been sidelined by Assistant Feng?

Ai Bi glanced at He Dongchen, who was idling on the sofa, and imagined a series of conspiracies and schemes.

After everyone with their own thoughts left…

He Dongchen, with great interest, turned to Feng Ruying. “Just now, she must have thought of some messy things.”

Feng Ruying’s fingertips moved slightly. People below had been saying I was the big boss’s confidante.

Did he know?

Resting his chin on his hand, He Dongchen said, “Should we really scare them?”

“What?” Feng Ruying looked at He Dongchen incredulously. Was he confessing? Her heart started beating faster uncontrollably.

He Dongchen smirked. “I mean, let’s really sideline and seize power to scare them.”

Feng Ruying instantly turned cold and continued to focus on her work.

“Don’t you find it amusing?” He Dongchen’s smile deepened as he continued to probe.

“I don’t think so.”

Is it because the salary isn’t high enough? Why bother with these wild thoughts?

Over the next few days, Feng Ruying spoke very little. If possible, she wanted to refuse to speak altogether.

On this day, she once again received a time-limited spending task and hurriedly shopped in the mall.

He Dongchen leisurely followed by her side, occasionally making comments and dragging his feet.

Feng Ruying gritted her teeth, forced a smile, and instructed the staff to wrap up several pieces of jewelry, swiping her card at the last minute to complete the task.

***

“He Dongchen?” A voice of confusion came.

They turned their heads to see a stylish girl with green-dyed hair walking towards them.

He Dongchen frowned, not expecting to see Mu Xue here.

Mu Xue also didn’t expect to see He Dongchen again, and to see him playing the extravagant game of spending how much money in a few hours, just like the previous life’s He Bei!

In an instant, Mu Xue understood!

After being reborn, her imagination was vast. How could He Dongchen make such a strong comeback? It wasn’t just because he was superior to me in the previous life, but also because he snatched He Bei’s gold finger!

It must be, otherwise how to explain this life’s He Bei’s lack of achievements.

And He Dongchen was playing He Bei’s extravagant game.

There must be some gold finger to make money through extravagance.

After understanding that, Mu Xue was full of suspicion.

She had discovered such a big secret. Would He Dongchen kill me to silence me? With He Dongchen’s current status and wealth, hiring an assassin would be a piece of cake. Mu Xue’s imagination ran wild, even thinking that He Dongchen would throw her into a laboratory…

She approached the two step by step, her steps becoming heavier and heavier. Finally, she gritted her teeth, brushed past them, and walked away quickly.

Feng Ruying blinked and turned to look, only to see the stylish woman with green hair heading towards a figure.

That figure was He Bei, who had already reclaimed his identity as part of the He family.

They exchanged some words and quickly left sight. Throughout, the green-haired woman never looked back at them.

Feng Ruying frowned, feeling something was amiss.

He Dongchen thought to himself; why was she acting so timid?

The system complained, [You were the one who just subtly suggested to her! In the end, you’re still complaining that she’s timid!]

***

When Feng Ruying was on the way home, she suddenly woke up!

Wait, if the other person mistook He Bei for He Dongchen, why would a boss who looks exactly the same stand before them without recognition, or at least a hint of suspicion?

The more Feng Ruying thought about it, the more confused she became. She turned to the boss beside her, “Do you know that woman just now?”

“Don’t know,” He Dongchen replied without hesitation, then changed the subject, “Instead of worrying about a stranger, you should think about how to help me get rid of Ho Xuan.”

Ho Xuan was even more persistent than the He family, lurking everywhere, bombarding with calls, almost omnipresent. Compared to avoiding her in her previous life, Ho Xuan’s attitude was a stark contrast.

Ironically, when the original owner came back in the previous life, Ho Xuan found out about his near-marriage to Mu Xue and even felt relieved, glad that she had truly fallen in love with He Bei. Otherwise, the situation would have been much more embarrassing.

One fell in love after losing his memory, the other saved her and disappeared, these two were quite similar. Even Ho Xuan’s actions were more despicable in some ways, after all, her lover had disappeared into the sea trying to save her.

Feng Ruying didn’t know these things, glanced at the boss, and tentatively asked, “She seemed quite serious.”

Whether the big boss was He Dongchen or not, no one could be certain.

He Dongchen remained expressionless, “It has nothing to do with me.”

Ho Xuan had been serious about He Bei in her previous life.

Knowing his stance, Feng Ruying spoke seriously, “I’ll find a way to handle it.”

“There’s actually a ready-made solution,” He Dongchen looked up at her, “Like helping me get out of being single.”

Feng Ruying lowered her eyes, took out her notebook, opened a blank document, and spoke in a cold voice, “No problem. What are your preferences have for a partner? I can arrange blind dates for you.”

“Someone beautiful, poker-faced every day, impatient, and most importantly, able to help me spend tens of millions every hour.”

Feng Ruying’s fingers paused over the keyboard. Slowly, she turned her head to look at the big boss who was approaching closer and closer to her.

Their breaths intertwined.

The driver in front sensibly raised the partition.

See, these two definitely have something going on.

***

The next day, Ho Xuan continued her stakeout mission. She refused to believe that Gu Wenyu wasn’t He Dongchen!

After dressing up a bit, Ho Xuan borrowed a friend’s car and sneaked into Ruifeng’s parking lot, waiting anxiously for He Dongchen’s car. She tapped her fingers incessantly on the steering wheel.

There he is!

Her eyes lit up as she saw He Dongchen and that annoying Assistant Feng coming out of the private elevator, heading straight for the car.

But unlike before, where they maintained their boss-subordinate distance, this time He Dongchen was actually holding Feng’s hand!

Ho Xuan’s face pressed against the steering wheel, utterly incredulous.

She watched in disbelief as He Dongchen opened the passenger door for the woman, escorted her into the car, buckled her seatbelt for her once they were inside, and even stole a quick kiss before closing the door.

Ho Xuan was dumbfounded. It wasn’t until their car left the parking lot that she snapped out of her daze.

They’re together.

Ho Xuan returned home in a daze, only to be warned by her father not to bother Gu Wenyu anymore.

Her father sighed, “If he doesn’t even recognize the He family, how would he recognize us? Besides, I’ve heard that Gu Wenyu is already dating his assistant. You rushing in like this only lowers your value.”

Ho Xuan sat blankly on the couch, clutching a pillow, tears silently streaming down her face.

The next day, under her parents’ persuasion, she went abroad to clear her mind and get away from this heartbreak.

Once Ho Xuan left, He Dongchen completely dismissed her from his mind.

Feng Ruying hesitated, “Are you really not him?”

“I’m just yours,” He Dongchen replied calmly.

Feng Ruying instantly lost her curiosity. Blushing slightly, she turned her head back and focused on her work.

The system lamented, [Boss, you’re still exploiting her!]

He Dongchen stood his ground confidently, and Assistant Feng grew even more dedicated to her work.

Several years later, the two got married. He Dongchen held their child in his arms, watching Feng Ruying work with his usual grandiose statements; “If I lose, it’s on me. I have the money.”

The system was completely speechless.

***

Time passed by.

The debate over whether He Dongchen was truly He Dongchen continued to heat up.

The He family insisted that he was.

He Dongchen always vetoed their claims but never presented any evidence, leaving them hanging.

Then, one time, the He family faced a major crisis, on the brink of bankruptcy. He Dongchen appeared indifferent on the surface but secretly extended a helping hand. No matter how heartless the He family appeared, in their past life, they had raised the original owner and had never been short of money.

Later on, He Bei finally convinced Father and Mother He and married Mu Xue as he wished. The following year, they had a pair of twins.

Originally, Mother He, who had a hostile attitude toward Mu Xue, gradually let go of her reservations and began to take care of her grandchildren seriously.

With two sons, one unwilling to acknowledge, and the other incapable of providing support, they could only cultivate the next generation.

Mu Xue smiled more brilliantly every time she saw the outstanding twins. Everyone thought she was delighted with her stable position.

Only He Dongchen and the system knew that this woman was terrifying.

Decades later, He Dongchen saw his wife off. Before leaving, he heard the He family scandal. Astonishingly, the twins of the He family weren’t their true offspring.

Mu Xue had long figured out He Dongchen’s attitude toward the He family. Instead of hiding it, she spread it widely, bullying the He family, knowing that no one could seek justice for the He family.

When Father and Mother He passed away, Mu Xue saw that they had taken care of the children, so she let them rest in peace.

This time, when He Bei fell seriously ill, Mu Xue took the initiative to reveal the truth. She watched as the other party died of anger in bed, laughing heartily.

The system sighed, [She’s ruthless.]

He Dongchen remained noncommittal, separating from the small world.
