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

Chapter 5: True and False Young Master (5)

The farce of the Qu family picking up the wrong child caused a sensation at Maple River University, with Yansu hearing interesting discussions and speculations from his roommates every day.

"Qu Hongkai's life is really good. He was mistakenly taken to the Qu family and enjoyed nineteen years of wealth and glory. After his true identity was revealed, he was even more loved by the Qu family. If only I had half of his luck," sighed the dormitory leader.

"Come on, his good fortune came at the expense of the true young master of the Qu family's blood and tears. Qu Hongkai's biological parents from the countryside were even brought to the Qu family, but the true young master didn't return. I suddenly have a bad guess," another roommate said.

Another roommate suddenly sat up from his bed, locked eyes with the dormitory leader, and solemnly said, "Could the true young master have been silenced by Qu Hongkai's biological parents?"

In broad daylight, the two sat in the dormitory, frightened by their own speculation.

The dormitory leader noticed that Yansu was unaffected and calmly tidied up his bedding. Unable to help himself, he said, "Cui Lao, you're really boring. We're all discussing the matter of the true or false young master of the Qu family. How come you've never participated?"

Yansu wasn't the oldest in the dormitory, but he was called the leader mainly because of his steady demeanor, excellent grades, and ability to handle household chores, as well as his part-time job during his spare time.

The other roommates were all pampered by their families, inevitably a bit delicate, so they simply recognized Yansu as their leader.

Yansu made the bed meticulously, picked up his backpack, and said, "What's there to discuss about this matter? I'm going to the library. Who's coming with me?"

The other roommates shook their heads and watched Yansu leave.

After Yansu left, the dormitory leader sighed, "Truly worthy of Cui Lao, no matter what storms come his way, he's never affected."

Yansu had been busy with a project recently. He was already a sophomore, and besides dealing with heavy academic work every day, he also had to occasionally find time to discuss company matters with Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan, upon cooperating with him, only found out that he was a sophomore student. At that time, her gaze was indescribable, and she almost backed out of the cooperation.

However, Wei Xuan herself was very capable, and the progress of their project was quite good. With Cheng Xiu's funds, Wei Xuan also recruited two capable assistants from the Qu family's group, and everything went smoothly.

As for the Qu family's group, the recent rumors weren't very favorable.

Qu Father, Qu Mother, and all of Qu Xiangrong's energy were focused on Qu Hongkai, busy comforting his fragile soul, but neglecting the company's business.

Especially when Qu Xiangrong transferred all of his shares to Qu Hongkai, and even caused a divorce because of it, the shareholders began to have a different view of this previously outstanding heir of the Qu family's group.

Qu Xiangrong, who used to be promising and unstoppable in the business world, the nailed-on successor of the Qu family's group, now, with his attitude towards his fake younger brother showing signs of senility, even abandoning his wife and daughter for a fake heir, the shareholders for the first time felt that the title of "Spoiled Brother Maniac" for Qu Xiangrong sounded so harsh.

The title of "Spoiled Brother Maniac" had brought Qu Xiangrong so much positive influence, and now there were just as many people condemning him.

The outside world even felt that Qu Xiangrong's recent actions were very confusing. It's fine to favor Qu Hongkai, the fake young master, but it was excessive to abandon his wife and daughter for this, and the true young master of the Qu family was still out there somewhere suffering. Qu Father and Qu Mother actually brought Qu Hongkai's biological parents into the family, the two couples pampering Qu Hongkai in various ways every day, this was simply ridiculous.

Of course, Qu Xiangrong and Qu Father and Qu Mother didn't know any of this yet. By the time they realized it, a very important part of the Qu family's group's business had already been eaten away by an emerging company in the industry.

As the night fell, in a private room not far from Maple River University, Yansu, Cheng Xiu, and Wei Xuan sat around a table raising their glasses to celebrate.

Cheng Xiu looked confident and proud, his innate arrogance and noble temperament making him stand out. Holding a glass of red wine, he said with pride, "Cui Lao, Sister Wei, our company has done a great job in this battle, we've beaten the Qu family so badly. I went back to the old house yesterday and bumped into Qu Xiangrong. His face was as ugly as a pig's liver. Haha, it's really satisfying!"

Wei Xuan also raised her red lips, unable to hide her joy.

Since the day of her divorce, she had been holding a grudge and wanted to give the Qu family a taste of their own medicine. Now she finally did it.

Of course, all of this couldn't have been achieved without Yansu's planning behind the scenes.

"Let's toast to Mr. Cui, he's the most important behind-the-scenes manipulator, oh no, decision-maker," Wei Xuan said, her voice trailing off.

Cheng Xiu stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Why do I feel like we're all like the villains in a movie or TV show, doing shady things in secret?"

Wei Xuan laughed heartily, "Who cares if we're good or bad, at least I'm happy tonight. Come on, let's drink until we drop."

Yansu's face still wore his perennial gentle smile, even though their project had made such great progress and the company had gained recognition in the industry, his career and net worth were vastly different from the past. His attitude seemed unchanged.

Pointing at him, Wei Xuan said to Cheng Xiu, "I really admire our President Cui's ability to remain calm in any situation. Honestly, I think President Cui must have been a Bodhisattva in his past life. I've never seen him lose his cool or composure."

Cheng Xiu glanced at Yansu and chuckled, "Exactly, President Cui taught me for a while, and I refused to learn, trying all sorts of ways to tease him, but he always managed to turn the tables, ultimately making me surrender. You know, my own father couldn't subdue me with such skill."

The group drank until midnight before dispersing.

The next day, when Yansu woke up, it was already nine o'clock. He couldn't afford to be late, so he quickly got up. He had promised Wei Xuan to take care of her children for a day when her parents were away on a business trip, and he was about to be late.

As Wei Xuan had said, Yansu was an behind-the-scenes decision-maker in the company, Cheng Xiu was an investor, and Wei Xuan was the executor of the company's external affairs.

Wei Xuan was busy like a dog every day, while Yansu was relatively relaxed. So when her parents were away for a few days and there was no one to take care of the children, she thought of Yansu.

Yansu hurried to the company, took the twins from Wei Xuan, and took them to the mall.

After buying some toys for the two girls, Yansu took them to a restaurant to eat, killing time along the way.

Huanhuan and Yueyue were relatively quiet children, perhaps because they were not valued in the Qu family, which led them to develop a polite and even overly polite character.

When the waiter brought dessert, Huanhuan instinctively pushed it to Yansu, "Uncle Cui, you go first."

Yansu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "Uncle isn't hungry, you go ahead."

Huanhuan blushed shyly and picked up the spoon to eat, but she caught sight of a figure not far away, then opened her mouth in shock, her face suddenly turning pale, and the spoon in her hand fell onto the table with a clatter.

"What's wrong, Huanhuan?"

Yansu was surprised, about to pick up the spoon for her, but unexpectedly, a sinister voice came from behind, "Huanhuan, Yueyue, long time no see. You're actually out for dinner with a stranger. Is this the new dad your mom found for you?"

Yansu frowned and turned around, and the person who spoke was Qu Hongkai.

Cursing his luck inwardly, Yansu ignored his strange tone and calmly put the spoon back into Huanhuan's hand, saying gently, "It's okay, don't be afraid of him, eat."

Yansu's attitude gave Huanhuan and Yueyue great courage. They were no longer influenced by Qu Hongkai and focused on eating their desserts.

This scene stimulated Qu Hongkai.

Recently, Wei Xuan's establishment of the company and the confrontation with the Qu family had caused a sensation. The Qu family was at their wits' end, and Qu Xiangrong, who used to be at ease in the business world, had hit a wall for the first time, even smoking at home.

Even Qu Father was troubled by this, and Qu Mother even cursed Wei Xuan at home.

All of this made Qu Hongkai feel extremely distressed, but not for the Qu family, but for the shares of the Qu family's group that belonged to him, which were about to shrink.

So when he saw the twins today, the old and new grudges combined, he couldn't help but step forward, wanting to slap them, but Yansu's presence made him hesitate.

After a moment of contemplation, Qu Hongkai began to sow discord. He smiled and extended his hand to Yansu in a gesture of goodwill, "Mister, are you Wei Xuan's new boyfriend? You probably don't know that these twins are not innocent and kind-hearted children. They often steal things and like to lie. Be careful, they might try to turn Wei Xuan against you."

Huanhuan and Yueyue understood that Qu Hongkai was speaking ill of them, and they trembled with fear, their eyes seeming to cry as they looked at Yansu.

Yansu touched their heads and smiled, then slowly looked at Qu Hongkai, "Are you sowing discord, just like you're doing now?"

His crude tactics were seen through, and Qu Hongkai felt somewhat embarrassed. He was convinced that Yansu was a white-faced man coveting Wei Xuan's wealth, and he blurted out fiercely, "Don't believe me? Just wait and see. With these twins around, let's see what benefits you can get from Wei Xuan!"

Yansu's expression remained unchanged, unaffected, "You don't need to worry about that."
