Chapter 33: Transmigrated as the Abusive Story’s Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character p2
[Wealthy Heiress Xin Wanyin Targeted by Gold-Digging Scumbag]
Gold-digger? Was that about him?
His head spinning, he clicked on the link with trembling fingers.
A long article appeared on the screen.
[Hello everyone, I’m Xin Wanyin. It’s been a while. I wonder how many of you still remember me?
I apologize for disappearing these past two years. I’m sorry to my fans, to those who care about me, and to myself.
I’m here today to tell you something.
First, I want to apologize to Mr. Chen Mu. I shouldn’t have criticized your acting. I’m sorry.
I was naive back then, thinking I was so great, looking down on everyone. Now, looking back, I realize I was the foolish one.
Thank you, Mr. Chen Mu, for being the first to comfort me, for telling me not to worry about it.
But honestly, that was a very dark time for me.
Every day, I would open my phone and see countless hateful comments. I even thought about ending my life.
Even now, I still shudder at the memory of those days.
It was during that time that I met my boyfriend, Xu Qing.
He pulled me out of the darkness, showed me the light, reminded me what it meant to be alive.
I loved him so much. He was my savior, my everything.
But recently, I discovered that our love story was a carefully constructed lie.
My boyfriend, Xu Qing, long before we even met, had hired someone to follow me, to take pictures of my daily life.
Then, he scoured my private social media account, finding a single comment where I had criticized an actor’s performance, and used it to launch a smear campaign against me, using trolls to bully me online, driving me to quit the industry, driving me to the brink of suicide.
Then, he appeared in my life, pretending to be my savior, manipulating my emotions.
The person I loved most was the one who pushed me into darkness.
He trampled on me, made me feel worthless, then picked me up and told me he was the only one who would ever love me.
So, in that relationship, I was controlled by him, afraid to be myself.
I became a worse version of myself. I lost myself.
…
Even now, thinking about it, I still shudder.
I’m sharing this today not only to seek closure for myself and expose this scumbag, but also to warn others to be careful, to avoid being manipulated.
Love yourself first.
I will be suing Xu Qing…]
The article clearly detailed Xu Qing’s manipulation, his orchestration of the online bullying campaign, his deceitful pursuit of Xin Wanyin, and his emotional abuse.
While Xin Wanyin had been out of the spotlight for a few years, she still had a following.
And the mention of her father, the owner of Xin Corp, resonated with many netizens, some of whom lived in Xin Corp properties or shopped at their malls.
The comments section was filled with messages of support, calling her “sister.”
And the details of Xu Qing’s manipulation were truly terrifying.
Many netizens, imagining themselves in Xin Wanyin’s position, being manipulated and abused, felt a chill run down their spines.
The article, amplified by Xin Corp and Pei Corp’s social media presence, quickly went viral.
Xu Qing, reading the article at his desk, his face pale and his body trembling, was also stunned.
How could Xin Wanyin know? It was impossible!
He jumped up, knocking his chair over, the loud crash startling his colleagues.
He grabbed his coat and rushed out of the office.
As he walked down the street, his head bowed, his expression frantic, he felt like everyone was staring at him, judging him.
But Xin Wanyin hadn’t revealed his identity. It was all in his head. His colleagues were simply speculating.
Ironically, while Xin Wanyin had endured relentless online abuse, he couldn’t even handle a few stares.
He wasn’t going anywhere else but to find Xin Wanyin and explain.
He arrived at the film set and, without thinking, barged in, demanding to see Xin Wanyin.
The security guards stopped him.
“Hey, hey, hey! Where do you think you’re going?!”
Xu Qing struggled against their grip, his face contorted in desperation.
“Let me in! I need to see someone!”
The commotion drew the attention of the crew, and Xu Qing saw Xin Wanyin standing among them.
She was dressed in a bright red costume, a white fur cloak draped over her shoulders, a small hand warmer clutched in her hand, her hair styled elegantly, her beauty breathtaking.
Her gaze, cool and indifferent, met his.
She had seen him!
Xu Qing struggled even harder. “Wanyin! Xin Wanyin! Let me explain!”
But the woman who had always greeted him with a smile, who had always run towards him, simply stood there, her expression unchanged.
Then, she turned and walked away, without a backward glance.
The security guards dragged Xu Qing away.
“Sir, if you don’t leave, we’ll call the police!”
He was thrown out like a dog.
And film sets were notorious for gossip.
Someone immediately uploaded a video of the incident online.

The comments section exploded.
[I was there! He was literally on his knees, begging her to take him back! The security guards threw him out!]
[He’s not even that good-looking! She can do better!]
[Sister, don’t limit yourself!]
[He’s terrifying! So manipulative!]
[First he scams your feelings, then your money, next he’ll try to kill you!]
[He looks like a bad guy!]
Every comment, every word, was like a knife twisting in Xu Qing’s heart.
He sat on the curb, reading the comments, his hands clenching into fists, the veins throbbing. Then, in a fit of rage, he threw his phone onto the ground.
But later, back home, lying in bed, he still didn’t think he had done anything wrong.
He wondered how Xin Wanyin had found out.
And how he could continue his revenge.
He drifted off to sleep, his mind a jumble of confused thoughts.
When he woke up, he picked up his cracked phone, and a barrage of notifications almost made it vibrate off the nightstand.
Countless messages, filled with hate and vitriol.
The male lead’s fans, whom he had manipulated, were now unleashing their fury on him.
His clients had cancelled their contracts, his boss furious, bombarding him with angry phone calls.
Women who had experienced similar abuse, righteous strangers, everyone was talking about him, condemning him.
He threw his phone across the room, burying his face in his hands, his fingers digging into his scalp.
He had used public opinion to destroy Xin Wanyin. Now, it was his turn to experience the same fate.
But these foolish people, they didn’t understand what he had been through!
The Xin family had ruined his life! Taken everything from him!
The Xin family…
That’s right! It was all their fault! If he exposed their crimes, everyone would understand!
He picked up his phone, his fingers trembling as he started to type.
Just then, he saw the trending topics.
[Xin Corp Releases Statement, Revealing the Truth]
[Shocking! Xin Corp Defrauded by Former Employee]
[Should Good People Be Exploited?]
[Scumbag Ex-Boyfriend’s True Motive: Revenge and Murder]
Overwhelmed by the sudden influx of information, Xu Qing’s mind went blank. He mechanically clicked on the first trending topic.
A statement from Xin Corp’s legal department appeared on the screen.
[Regarding the Death of Former Employee Xu Jun
On [date], our employee, Mr. Xu, fell to his death while working at height. We followed proper procedures and provided full compensation to his family.
However, rumors persisted, alleging that his death was caused by negligence on our part, causing significant damage to our company’s reputation.
Recently, we discovered that Mr. Xu’s death was a suicide, motivated by financial gain.
We have reported this matter to the police and provided all relevant evidence.]
Below the statement was a new post from Xin Wanyin.
[Oh, and one more terrifying detail.
My ex-boyfriend, Xu Qing, is the son of the deceased worker, Xu Jun.
Why do you think he pursued me so relentlessly? What was he thinking, looking at me every day?]
The netizens’ imaginations ran wild, speculating about Xu Qing’s motives.
But it all boiled down to one thing: a son seeking revenge for his father, targeting a wealthy heiress, plotting to ruin her life and perhaps even kill her.
Which, of course, had been Xu Qing’s intention all along.
This new twist, however, was even more sensational, elevating the story from a simple case of heartbreak to a tale of revenge and murder.
It was a juicy piece of gossip, each revelation more shocking than the last.
As Xin Wanyin had said, who knew what the scumbag had been thinking, looking at her every day?
The internet exploded with discussions and speculation.
And Xu Qing was about to explode as well.
His entire life had been driven by a single purpose: revenge for his father.
And now they were telling him that his father had committed suicide for money?
It was impossible!
Then what had his life been about? A joke?!
His father would never do such a thing!
Xu Qing gripped his hair, his face red with rage, his eyes bloodshot.
His world was crumbling around him. If this was true, what was the point of living?
No, it had to be a lie! The Xin family was lying!
He had to confront them.
He stumbled out of bed and yanked open the door.
Bright sunlight streamed in, revealing two police officers standing outside, their expressions serious.
“Mr. Xu, you’ve been accused of corporate espionage by several companies. Please come with us.”
Pei Yu sat on the sofa, Xin Yao resting her head on Pei Yu’s lap, her eyes closed, watching the scene unfold in her mind through the system’s connection.
She didn’t feel a sense of triumph, or even happiness.
Just a sense of closure, for Xin Wanyin’s sister and Xin Ping’an.
A calm female voice on the television was reporting the news about Xin Corp, the background noise slightly muffled.
Pei Yu picked up a strawberry and held it to Xin Yao’s lips.
“What are you thinking about?”
Xin Yao took a bite of the strawberry, its sweetness spreading through her mouth. She looked at Pei Yu’s beautiful, sparkling eyes.
And then she froze.
The thought she had been avoiding, the inevitable truth, echoed in her mind, amplified by the news report.
Xin Wanyin and Xu Qing had broken up. Xu Qing would soon face the consequences of his actions. Their paths would never cross again.
This meant that Xin Yao’s mission was complete. She would soon be leaving this world.
Leaving Pei Yu.
The sweetness of the strawberry turned bitter in her mouth.
She stared at Pei Yu’s eyes, her own gaze filled with a sudden, overwhelming sadness.
What would happen to Pei Yu when she left?
Could Pei Yu live in a world without her?
Just then, the doorbell rang, interrupting her thoughts.
Xin Yao snapped out of her daze, swallowing the strawberry and mechanically sitting up, rubbing her face.
She stood up and walked towards the door.
But Pei Yu grabbed her wrist, her grip tight, her eyes, narrowed and almost reptilian, filled with a sudden anxiety.
“Don’t go,” she said.
Xin Yao paused, realizing the extent of Pei Yu’s vulnerability. “Don’t worry, I’m just getting the food delivery.”
Then, unsure of her own motives, whether to prepare Pei Yu for the inevitable or simply to distance herself, she said softly, “What will you do when I’m gone?”
The word “gone” seemed to trigger something within Pei Yu. Her eyes darkened, her grip tightening.
Xin Yao almost thought she was about to kiss her.
But she didn’t. Pei Yu simply stood up and pulled Xin Yao into a gentle embrace.
“Don’t say such things. You’re not going anywhere.”
Xin Yao buried her face in Pei Yu’s chest, her voice muffled.
“But what if, one day, I really do leave?”
“Then I’ll follow you.”
“What if it’s a place you can’t go?”
Pei Yu stroked her hair, her touch gentle.
But her eyes, hidden in the shadows, were like a gathering storm.
She leaned closer, whispering in Xin Yao’s ear, “Then I’ll do whatever it takes to bring you back.”
If that day ever comes…
Yaoyao, don’t blame me if I become a monster. I don’t know what I’ll do.
I only know that, even if you cry and beg me to let you go, I won’t.
