The Supporting Male Protagonist Becomes Life's Winner [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 3: True and False Young Master (3)

For Yan Su, university life was rather dull. He effortlessly managed his coursework, freeing up plenty of time for part-time jobs.

In stark contrast to his mundane campus life was Qu Hongkai.

Since the day school started, Qu Hongkai had become the most talked-about freshman at Fengjiang University after making a name for himself outside the school gates in his sports car.

His privileged background left most classmates in awe. Some envied him, some criticized him for being wealthy, while others surrounded him, eager to be his lackeys and quickly become his followers, which propelled Qu Hongkai to thrive at Fengjiang University.

As time passed, Yan Su counted the days until the inevitable exposure of Qu Hongkai's false identity as a young master.

On the first snowy day, the atmosphere at the Qu family turned extremely tense. All members, including Qu Xuan, sat together to discuss the fact that Qu Hongkai was not actually their biological child.

"Could this paternity test be wrong? We've watched Hongkai grow up since he was a child. How could he not be our child?" Mrs. Qu's eyes were red and swollen, and the paternity test report she held was crumpled in her hand.

Her lips quivered as she wiped away tears, pulling the bewildered and frightened Qu Hongkai into her arms, crying bitterly.

Both Mr. Qu and Qu Xiangrong's faces were equally grim, their brows furrowed in unison.

Among the crowd, only Wei Xuan felt a sense of joy blooming in her heart. She had long been dissatisfied with the Qu family's excessive favoritism towards Qu Hongkai. It wasn't that she wanted to compete with her husband's brother for affection and wealth, but since the Qu family only had these two brothers, she hoped Qu's parents would be fairer and split the inheritance evenly.

But her husband, who was praised by others as the doting brother, cared nothing for her and their daughter, even going so far as to transfer his shares to Qu Hongkai.

Wei Xuan was truly infuriated.

Now, Qu Hongkai turned out not to be the Qu family's biological child at all, and Wei Xuan couldn't help but suppress her inner joy, keeping her lips from curling upwards to avoid being noticed by her parents-in-law and husband.

She lowered her head, embracing her daughter, hiding her emotions on her face, her arms trembling slightly from excitement.

The Qu family, being influential in Fengjiang City, had strong connections. After the initial shock, Mr. and Mrs. Qu quickly had the truth investigated and eventually found Yao Cui.

Since the adopted son ran away, Yao Cui and Cui Zhiqiang had been at odds, constantly blaming each other at home. They dared not openly search for their adopted son in Fengjiang City, fearing that the Qu family would discover their traces, which would affect their son's position in the Qu family.

Yao Cui harbored a glimmer of hope. After all, Fengjiang City was so big, how could the Qu family possibly find Yang Yang so quickly? Besides, the respectable Qu family wouldn't suspect that their own son wasn't biologically related.

If this matter could be kept hidden forever, it would be perfect.

But her hope was quickly shattered when the Qu family came knocking on their door, leaving Yao Cui dumbfounded.

Her impulsive decision to switch babies back then was like walking on thin ice. But now, her biological son had been living in the Qu family for eighteen years, enjoying all the wealth and luxury. If the Qu family discovered that she had deliberately switched the babies, it would be all over.

At the critical moment, Cui Zhiqiang, with slightly more courage, warmly entertained the Qu family, learning about their intentions. His face first showed astonishment, then disbelief.

At this life-or-death moment, this man who had never done an honest day's work in his life unexpectedly burst into remarkable acting skills, shaking his head repeatedly as if he were an innocent victim. "It's impossible. You must be mistaken. How could Yang Yang not be my son?"

Mrs. Qu, already feeling uncomfortable, seeing Cui Zhiqiang's performance, recalling her own reaction when she first saw the paternity test report, couldn't help but empathize, bursting into tears.

The two middle-aged couples looked at each other, crying uncontrollably.

After regaining their composure, the Qu family began to observe the environment of the Cui family.

Before they came knocking, they had already learned that their biological son had been living in such a poor village for eighteen years. They had prepared themselves to meet a shepherd boy, but seeing the poor condition of the Cui family's home surpassed their expectations. Mrs. Qu couldn't accept it.

Her Hongkai had been carefully nurtured for eighteen years, impeccable in manners and etiquette, the most popular young master in high society.

But this biological son, who had been wandering outside, growing up in a farming family, lacked sophistication and insight. Mrs. Qu couldn't bring herself to introduce him to relatives and friends as her own son.

She took a deep breath and asked Cui Zhiqiang, "What about the child?"

Cui Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, wiped away the tears on his face, and hesitated, glancing at Yao Cui.

After so many years of marriage, how could Yao Cui not understand his thoughts? She immediately spoke up, "Yang Yang, he..." She choked a few times before continuing, "This child has always been smart. Not long ago, he even got accepted into Fengjiang University, praised as an outstanding student in the village. But he...is too arrogant. It's also our fault that we couldn't make money. He despises us, which is understandable."

Mrs. Qu was surprised. She exchanged glances with her husband and asked, "What do you mean? We supported him through school, got him into Fengjiang University. Isn't that a good thing? Why would he despise you?"

After repeated questioning by Mrs. Qu, she learned from Yao Cui that after receiving the admission notice, Yang Yang became more lively, feeling that Cui Zhiqiang and Yao Cui were dragging him down, and took all the savings from home and ran away.

"I know Yang Yang is capable, but we supported him through school all these years. We've also suffered hardships. We don't expect him to come back and repay us in the future, but he took away our entire life savings. That's our retirement money!"

Yao Cui cried her heart out, almost fainting.

Mrs. Qu's face was extremely ugly. She had observed earlier when she came in that this simple rural couple had rough hands, their faces bronzed by the sun, showing signs of hardship.

After raising such an outstanding student with great difficulty, Yang Yang actually despised them and took away all their savings.

Without even meeting him, the Qu family's impression of their biological son had already hit rock bottom.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Her Hongkai was still the best. He had received the best education since childhood, although his academic performance might not be outstanding, his character was undoubtedly the best.

Yan Su's current part-time job was tutoring a high school senior named Cheng Xiu. The Cheng family was also influential in Fengjiang City

, with some business dealings with the Qu family.

As Cheng Xiu, the only son of the Cheng family, had been spoiled, he lacked interest in studying but was keen on gossip. He even created a group specifically to gossip about the romantic affairs of those wealthy families in the vicinity.

The news of Qu Hongkai being the wrong child had long reached Cheng Xiu's ears. He had been itching to see if Qu Hongkai, who used to be so arrogant, was still the same. But recently, his family had been strict, and Yan Su focused on his studies, leaving no time for Cheng Xiu to go out and play.

Bored, he could only treat Yan Su as his confidant, telling him the gossip about the mistaken child in the Qu family.

That day, as soon as Yan Su arrived at the Cheng family, Cheng Xiu mysteriously pulled him into the study. "Teacher Yan, do you want to know the latest news about the mistaken child in the Qu family? There's something new."

Yan Su readily listened, adopting a listening posture. Cheng Xiu grinned, speaking non-stop, "Didn't I tell you last time that Uncle Qu and Aunt Qu went to another province to find their biological son? Who would've thought they didn't bring back their son but instead brought back Qu Hongkai's biological parents."

Yan Su timely revealed a look of confusion. "What about their biological son?"

Cheng Xiu smiled mysteriously, "It's said that when they mentioned their biological son, they were very secretive, but Qu Hongkai's biological parents inadvertently revealed that the child had character problems and stole money from home."

Getting the information he wanted, Yan Su sneered inwardly.

Yao Cui and Cui Zhiqiang were really trying to frame him. The development of the situation was likely to follow the plot. Both families treated Qu Hongkai as their own son, and Qu Xiangrong, in order to appease his non-biological brother, would officially transfer all his shares in the Qu Group to Qu Hongkai. Wei Xuan would tear her face apart with her husband and end up divorced, taking her daughter back to her family.

He guessed right.

Since Qu Hongkai was found not to be the biological son of the Qu family, he began to feel anxious, insecure, and lacking in a sense of security.

Mr. and Mrs. Qu felt sorry for him. They didn't feel estranged from Qu Hongkai because of blood ties; instead, they were glad that their biological son was not an ungrateful child. This way, Qu Hongkai could maintain his unique position in the Qu family.

Qu Xiangrong saw his parents and brother's performance, feeling anxious.

To him, his brother was still his brother, a relative he had been with for eighteen years. He couldn't bear to see his brother living in fear at the Qu family just because of blood ties. As the older brother, he naturally wanted to help his brother out of trouble.

Qu Xiangrong found a lawyer and revised the share transfer agreement, changing the originally intended half of the shares to all of them.

The lawyer was very surprised. "Mr. Qu, are you really going to transfer all the shares to Young Master Qu?"

Qu Xiangrong nodded.

The lawyer opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. It was rumored that Qu Xiangrong was obsessed with his younger brother, but now it seemed that Qu Xiangrong treated his brother better than his own son.

Just as Qu Xiangrong was about to sign the newly acquired agreement, the office door was suddenly kicked open, and Wei Xuan stormed in angrily.

She grabbed the document in front of Qu Xiangrong and, after reading its contents, became dizzy with anger.

"Qu Xiangrong, are you really going to transfer all the shares to your brother, without leaving anything for me and our daughter?"
