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

Chapter 10: True and False Young Master (10)

"Cui Yang, stop it. I order you in the name of a mother to immediately cease your dirty tactics against the Qu Group. Otherwise, you will bear all the consequences yourself."

Mrs. Qu raised her head high, looking righteous and resolute as she spoke to Yansu, as if bathed in divine light.

Wei Xuan, who was watching from the side, had a few question marks popping up in her head. "'In the name of a mother'? What does that mean?"

Yansu smiled, showing no emotional response to Mrs. Qu's words. He slowly stood up, poured himself a cup of tea, took a small sip, and calmly replied, "Mrs. Qu, I'm a little confused by what you're saying. My mother's name is Yao Cui, an ordinary farmer. Where would I have such a noble mother like you?"

Wei Xuan was stunned on the spot, drawing a terrifying conclusion from their conversation: Cui Yang turned out to be the biological son of the Qu family, the one who was mistakenly held with Qu Hongkai.

No wonder he approached her initially, partnering to deal with the Qu family.

While Mrs. Qu thought that Cui Yang cared about the Qu family and hated them, thus targeting the Qu Group, in reality, he didn't care at all. He wasn't even willing to acknowledge her as his mother.

Mrs. Qu's face momentarily turned ugly, while Qu Xiangrong couldn't help but accuse Yansu, "Enough, stop playing word games with us. I've investigated your background, I know you've been wronged over the years, but when you and Hongkai were mistaken, it wasn't intentional by our parents. It was just fate playing tricks. Our parents wanted to compensate you, but you took the savings from the Cui family and ran away. Is it reasonable for you to do all these things?"

Mrs. Qu pursed her lips, surprisingly also agreeing with her eldest son's words, casting a condemning look at Yansu.

Yansu smiled faintly, mocking Mrs. Qu and Qu Xiangrong, "Compensate me? Your so-called compensation was merely listening to Yao Cui and Cui Zhiqiang's one-sided story, deeming me a shameless betrayer without ever talking to me once?"

Mrs. Qu used to sympathize with Yao Cui and her husband, but since Cui Zhiqiang racked up massive gambling debts and angered Mr. Qu into the hospital, her opinion changed.

Moreover, after that incident, Yao Cui and Cui Zhiqiang disappeared without a trace. Mrs. Qu, busy taking care of Mr. Qu, had no time to deal with Cui Zhiqiang's matter. Cui Zhiqiang's huge gambling debts were like a slap on the face to the Qu family.

But she couldn't admit her mistakes in front of Yansu now.

Mrs. Qu had enjoyed wealth and glory for half her life, and being accustomed to being superior, she refused to bow down in front of her son, whom she considered a disgrace.

"Cui Yang, even if Yao Cui and Cui Zhiqiang were lacking in virtue, they still raised you for eighteen years. Isn't that correct? After you got into college, you stole their lifelong savings for retirement. Isn't that correct?" Mrs. Qu justified, "We, the Qu family, have status. Your actions have crossed the bottom line of morality and law. How should we recognize you?"

Upon hearing Mrs. Qu's accusations, Yansu suddenly laughed, a somewhat malicious smile on his face. He glanced at Qu Xiangrong and sarcastically remarked, "So Mr. Qu hasn't told Madam Qu about Qu Hongkai's situation yet. No wonder she dares to stand here and criticize me with righteousness."

Mrs. Qu frowned, turning to Qu Xiangrong. "What's going on? What happened to Hongkai? What does this have to do with him?"

Qu Xiangrong didn't expect Yansu to reveal Qu Hongkai's secrets at this moment. He hesitated, his mouth slightly bitter, and reluctantly nodded his head.

He didn't dare to upset Mrs. Qu too much. He didn't want to tell her about Qu Hongkai selling his shares and running away.

Wei Xuan, who had come to watch the excitement, kindly reminded her, "Mrs. Qu, you still don't know, do you? Your beloved son Qu Hongkai sold his shares and real estate, and now no one knows where he is. Why, hasn't General Qu told you?"

When Wei Xuan was the daughter-in-law of the Qu family, Mrs. Qu looked down on her, despising her humble background and coveting the Qu family's wealth.

Now Wei Xuan wanted to retaliate and let Mrs. Qu, who had pampered her favorite son for twenty years, see what kind of person he really was!

Mrs. Qu's head buzzed, digesting the meaning of Wei Xuan's words. She couldn't believe it and looked at Qu Xiangrong, trembling, "Is... is what she said true?"

Qu Xiangrong closed his eyes and nodded reluctantly.

He didn't dare to upset Mrs. Qu too much. He didn't want to tell her about Qu Hongkai selling his shares and running away.

After calling an ambulance and sending Mrs. Qu and Qu Xiangrong to the hospital, Wei Xuan and Cheng Xiu stared at Yansu's face, observing carefully.

"Really, your features do bear some resemblance to the Qu family," Wei Xuan concluded.

Cheng Xiu, who had rushed over to join the excitement, peeled an orange and handed it to Yansu, clicking his tongue twice. "If you had grown up in the Qu family since childhood, we would definitely be buddies. It's such a pity that fate let Qu Hongkai, that turtle grandson, steal your luck."

Yansu remained non-committal.

At this point, everyone thought that Cui Yang and Qu Hongkai being switched was just a coincidence. No one thought that it was deliberate on Yao Cui's part.

After this day, Yansu's life continued to be busy and fulfilling.

Upon hearing about Mr. and Mrs. Qu's collapse and Qu Xiangrong's complete breakdown, the collapse of the Qu Group was like a domino effect, irreversible.

At a critical moment, Wei Xuan, with the shares she acquired, became the new chairman of the Qu Group.

Her first act as chairman was to dismiss Qu Xiangrong.

Qu Xiangrong's expression at that moment was indescribable. He probably never expected that his ex-wife, whom he had kicked out, would retaliate in such a way.

"I will leave the Qu Group to Huanhuan and Yueyue. You once said that Huanhuan and Yueyue had no place in the Qu family and could only survive by pleasing Qu Hongkai. Now, I'll prove with facts that my daughters don't need to care about anyone's face. They deserve the best." Before leaving, Wei Xuan told Qu Xiangrong like this.

She didn't know if Qu Xiangrong regretted it, but it didn't matter. She had completely removed this man from her life.

Yansu was now the rising star in Fengjiang City's

 business world, shining brightly. His identity was gradually becoming known to the outside world.

Mr. and Mrs. Qu's old friends in the business world couldn't help but feel regretful. They all lamented how unlucky the Qu family was. Both of their sons, who were business prodigies, outdid each other. If the Qu family had nurtured them properly, the Qu Group would have flourished. But Mr. and Mrs. Qu, for some reason, didn't like capable sons. They favored an incompetent impostor instead.

The Qu family's current situation was all their own doing.

While the public opinion was divided, Mr. and Mrs. Qu woke up successively from the hospital. Upon learning about the events that had happened during this time, Mr. Qu pounded his chest and stomped his feet, wishing he could faint again.

"I regret it so much! How could I have listened to you back then, favoring Qu Hongkai, that wolf-hearted and dog-lunged villain!" Mr. Qu angrily pointed at Mrs. Qu, "I have two business prodigy sons, yet we couldn't even save our own company. Now, we've become a laughingstock. It's marrying the wrong wife that brings disaster!"

Mrs. Qu, initially feeling guilty, couldn't bear Mr. Qu pushing all the blame on her. She argued with her neck stiff, "How dare you blame me! Did I hold a knife to your throat and force you to transfer the shares to Hongkai? Obviously, you also have a share in pampering Hongkai. Yet, you're blaming me. Besides, when I was giving birth, lying weak on the bed, if you had taken care of the children properly, how could my son have been swapped?"

The couple, who had lived in harmony for most of their lives, quarreled in the hospital room, faces red and necks thick with anger, occasionally even coming to blows.

Qu Xiangrong couldn't bear to see it and tried to persuade them.

But Mr. and Mrs. Qu, joining forces, scolded him, "You fool! You pampered Hongkai as well. You willingly gave up your wife and children, handed over all the family property to Hongkai. You idiot!"

Qu Xiangrong couldn't believe that his efforts to please his parents and brother had backfired so badly.

Days passed by, and after Mr. and Mrs. Qu were discharged from the hospital, the Qu family didn't even have a house left.

Qu Xiangrong rented a two-bedroom apartment in a rundown neighborhood. The environment was poor, and the house often leaked. Mr. and Mrs. Qu spent their days at home quarreling, occasionally even getting into physical fights.

Qu Xiangrong was worn out by life, but he had to muster the energy to find a job. With his identity, ordinary companies wouldn't dare to hire him. In the end, a friend took pity on him and got him an ordinary job.

Qu Xiangrong lived the life of an ordinary office worker. Occasionally, he heard news about Cui Yang and Wei Xuan, feeling a sense of disbelief.

When did they become people from different worlds?

As for Cui Yang, he continued to live a busy and fulfilling life. With the collapse of the Qu Group, Wei Xuan stepped in and acquired the shares, becoming the new chairman of the Qu Group. Her first act was to dismiss Qu Xiangrong.

Yansu's life continued to be busy and fulfilling. He became a rising star in the business world of Fengjiang City, and his identity gradually became known to the public.

As for Qu Xiangrong, he lived a difficult life. He rented a small apartment and struggled to find a job due to his tainted reputation. He often heard news about Cui Yang and Wei Xuan, feeling a sense of disbelief that they were once part of the same world.

Days passed, and the Qu family's situation didn't improve. Mr. and Mrs. Qu continued to quarrel, and Qu Xiangrong struggled to make ends meet. Meanwhile, Cui Yang thrived in his career, leaving his past behind him.
