I Have the Aura of a Supporting Character in Yuri Novels - Chapter 86

Chen Wei’an didn’t know many women who possessed both beauty and status. So, when his ex-girlfriend called, the first person he thought of was Zhu Yun, the woman who had helped him before. After a long internal struggle, he decided to trouble her. He had worked so hard to achieve his current success, and now, during his rising period, many people were jealous of him. Chen Wei’an was unwilling to give up his current glory and go back to his former life.

Chen Wei’an mentally ran through all the possible problems. The solution to these challenges was undoubtedly money, and he believed no one would refuse such a windfall. But he never expected Zhu Yun to be a married woman who was not only divorced but also had a daughter. Could a woman with these conditions really make his ex-girlfriend believe she was his girlfriend?

Chen Wei’an’s confidence suddenly wavered. He looked anxious, his youthful impulsiveness preventing him from being as composed as a seasoned veteran. Clenching his fists, he asked in disbelief, “Sister Zhu Yun, why didn’t you tell me about such a big thing?!”

Zhu Yun felt like her ears were malfunctioning. How much nerve did Chen Wei’an have to say something like that? She glanced at the sleeping Tang Ruorui, who hadn’t been woken by the noise. Recently, for some reason, Tang Ruorui had been sleeping a lot. During her adult form, she could still tough it out, but in her child form, she couldn’t hide her drowsiness. Once, she even fell asleep with her face in her bowl while eating, which scared Zhu Yun into thinking the little demon was seriously ill.

Zhu Yun let out a soft laugh. Those who knew her well understood how dangerous her smile was. She was clearly at the edge of her patience. “What is my relationship with you? We’re just strangers who met by chance. Why should I tell you my private matters? Chen Wei’an, you’re an adult. Don’t you understand the meaning of ‘propriety’?”

This person must be crazy.

Zhu Yun sensed something was off with Chen Wei’an. She had a feeling that he had come to her for more than just a favor, and that he might have a backup plan.

Chen Wei’an covered his face, as if Zhu Yun’s words had pushed him into a corner with no way out.

He said with a look of shame, “Sister Zhu Yun, I… I didn’t tell you the whole truth about me and my ex-girlfriend. She’s here to ruin me. I’m a man, and when we were together, I couldn’t help but go too far. But we were both adults, so you don’t have to worry about that. I just had no idea that woman had a weird fetish! She recorded every intimate moment we had. I… I’m really at my wit’s end, and I can only come to you for help. Sister Zhu Yun, you’ve helped me so many times. Please, I beg you to help me again this time.”

Today was a real eye-opener for Zhu Yun. A popular male star’s ex-girlfriend had intimate videos of them, and from the sound of it, she had recorded every single encounter. Zhu Yun thought about Chen Wei’an’s current fame he was practically a top celebrity. If those videos were leaked, the social media platform’s programmers would probably have to work overtime to maintain the servers.

Zhu Yun wouldn’t stand by and do nothing out of her dislike for Chen Wei’an. As a lawyer, she had to be true to her conscience.

She took out her phone, pushed it in front of Chen Wei’an, and said in a low voice, “You must report this to the police. Your ex-girlfriend has already broken the law.”

Chen Wei’an refused without a second thought. “Sister Zhu Yun, I can’t call the police! I’m a public figure now. Any small move will be caught by paparazzi. Even if the police protect my privacy and don’t disclose the case, those gossip blogs won’t let me go. They’ll make up stories and smear my name! I can only solve this privately.”

Zhu Yun frowned and said coldly, “You don’t want to do this, and you don’t want to do that. What kind of perfect solution do you have in mind to scare your ex-girlfriend away?”

Chen Wei’an licked his lips. His delicate and handsome features were admired by countless people, so when he showed a look of sadness and frustration, his face had the power to bewitch. Anyone with a soft heart might have followed his lead.

He nervously gripped his palms, not daring to meet Zhu Yun’s eyes. Chen Wei’an said, “I have an appointment to meet her at four. My schedule is packed, and today is the only day I can meet with you and her to resolve this. I was thinking that since you’ve been so kind to me and have helped me many times, you wouldn’t be so heartless as to watch me be threatened by her. I… I was hoping you could pretend to be my girlfriend. She’s just a woman with a big chest and no brain. As long as you help me scare her, she’ll be afraid of you. Then you can use your lawyer identity to make her hand over the recordings, and the matter will be settled.”

Zhu Yun’s eyes scanned the table for a weapon. Unfortunately, there wasn’t even a glass of ice water. Otherwise, she would have poured it on him to cool him down.

She had indeed helped Chen Wei’an. If Zhu Yun had arrived in this world a little earlier, she would have chosen to be a cold-hearted bystander. Whoever wanted to save Chen Wei’an could do so; she certainly wouldn’t have called the police on that perverted stalker again.

Because she had saved him and helped him once, it now became Chen Wei’an’s excuse.

Zhu Yun’s smiling almond-shaped eyes were filled with mockery. She raised her chin regally, as if communicating with Chen Wei’an was an embarrassing act.

Her voice was laced with an accusatory tone. “I’ll be the one to step up for you, and I’ll be the villain. What about you? Are you just going to be the victim? Chen Wei’an, I really want your fans to see your true face. Do you know what your actions are called? You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing! You deserve to be blackmailed by your ex-girlfriend.”

Zhu Yun ignored him. She had come to see him today to try and find some clues about her car accident. Instead of finding clues, she was completely disgusted by his actions.

“Piggy?” Tang Ruorui, who had been sleeping in her arms, rubbed her eyes. Her long eyelashes framed a pair of beautiful, dark, grape-like eyes. Her face showed affection and trust toward Zhu Yun, which was why she could fall asleep so peacefully in her arms.

Zhu Yun pressed her cheek against Tang Ruorui’s and said gently, “Are you awake, Ruirui? Are you hungry?”

Tang Ruorui pouted, not liking Zhu Yun’s teasing. She retorted, “I’m not a piggy! Who gets hungry right after waking up?” Then she paused. “Oh, wait, I’m not a person, am I?”

Zhu Yun gave her a playful pat on the bottom in frustration. Seriously, did my words sound ambiguous? I was clearly just showing concern! How did a simple sentence get misinterpreted in her ears? This flower is getting more spoiled by the day.

“Don’t hit my butt.”

“I’ll hit it, I’ll hit it.”

The two of them playfully bickered and were about to leave the private room, but a sentence from Chen Wei’an stopped Zhu Yun in her tracks. He said, “Sister Zhu Yun, I don’t want to do this, but you’re forcing me to. It’s just a small favor. Why can’t you help me like you used to? I’ll give you money, lots and lots of money.”

“I’ll say it again. You should call the police.”

Zhu Yun felt that good advice was wasted on those determined to self-destruct. She had shown Chen Wei’an the right path, but he refused to take it.

“Sister Zhu Yun, there are paparazzi following outside. If you dare to leave, I’ll have them release information about your daughter! I’ll just accept her as my daughter, big deal.”

Zhu Yun turned around, her expression blank. “Are you out of your mind?”

[Little Zhu, he’s just bluffing. There are no paparazzi outside. This guy is a real scumbag.]

But 857’s words did nothing to soothe Zhu Yun’s anger. Hadn’t she seen how extreme some fans on the internet could be? She had, of course. If Chen Wei’an really revealed the shocking news that he had a daughter at such a young age, the fans’ insults wouldn’t target him. They would specifically go after the innocent daughter. This was why Zhu Yun was genuinely furious this time.

“It’s one thing to scheme against me, but you shouldn’t have thought of this.”

Chen Wei’an gritted his teeth and held on. “Sister Zhu Yun, if you help me this time, I will definitely compensate you!”

The calm eyes of Zhu Yun concealed her dissatisfaction with Chen Wei’an. Her tightly pursed lips gave her a silent, powerful aura. She walked toward him step by step, the sound of her high heels like a beat on Chen Wei’an’s heart, making his face twitch.

Suddenly, Tang Ruorui whispered something in Zhu Yun’s ear. Zhu Yun’s gaze toward Chen Wei’an grew even colder. She scrutinized his face, carefully comparing it to the image in her memory. A moment later, Tang Ruorui smiled faintly. “Chen Wei’an, which plastic surgery hospital did you go to? The work on your face is great, very natural.”

In an instant, Chen Wei’an’s eyes widened. He instinctively covered his nose. When he didn’t feel anything strange, he let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Wei’an said smugly, “Sister Zhu Yun, don’t slander me. I’m all-natural!”

“All-natural? Hmph, looks like post-processing to me.”

Chen Wei’an became even more complacent. His smug, petty expression completely ruined his beautiful face. “My schedule is so busy, how would I have time for plastic surgery? Besides, there are so many photos of me from before on the internet, and there’s no difference between me then and now. That’s proof! Sister Zhu Yun, you’re a lawyer. You need evidence to speak nonsense.”

Zhu Yun, still holding Tang Ruorui, leaned forward as if smelling Chen Wei’an. She backed away in surprise, clicking her tongue. “What a strong foxy smell.”

Chen Wei’an’s face instantly turned red. He raised his arm and sniffed it. There was no “foxy smell” as Zhu Yun claimed, only the crisp scent of his cologne.

Zhu Yun said meaningfully, “Are you raising a fox?”

Chen Wei’an tried to remain calm, pretending he didn’t understand what Zhu Yun was saying. He quickly retorted, “I do have a pet at home, but it’s a ragdoll cat. What fox?”

Zhu Yun could tell he was lying by his guilty expression. Between Tang Ruorui and Chen Wei’an, she would, of course, believe Tang Ruorui. So, when Tang Ruorui had quietly told her that Chen Wei’an had the scent of a fox demon on him, Zhu Yun felt that bringing her along was a good decision.

Zhu Yun, who had been so eager to leave, now changed her mind. She sat back down in the chair, fiddling with her phone. Her beautiful, clear profile gave Chen Wei’an an inexplicable feeling of panic.

Zhu Yun was no longer planning to leave, which clearly meant his threat had worked. But why didn’t he feel happy about it?

“Sit down. I can help you with your ex-girlfriend. But you have to give me some tangible benefit. Why don’t you tell me about the fox you’re raising?”

Zhu Yun turned the tables, taking control of the conversation. Chen Wei’an still wanted to deny it, but Zhu Yun’s next words sent a chill down his spine.

“I once had a client who also suddenly became incredibly beautiful and popular six months later. She had many admirers and eventually got her wish to marry a rich man. But after she got married, strange things started happening, like her family going bankrupt or someone dying. She was later introduced to me and hoped I could help her win the divorce case because her husband had been lured away by another woman who had suddenly become a great beauty. As we reviewed and analyzed the situation, we realized all the problems began when she started raising a fox.”

Zhu Yun was telling Chen Wei’an a half-truth. This story had never happened, but to get him to talk, this was the only way.

Chen Wei’an listened to it as just a story at first, but when he heard the word “fox,” he broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhu Yun, looking pleased, braided Tang Ruorui’s hair. “Do you want to admit to raising a fox now?”

Chen Wei’an, looking distraught, sat down. He was scared because his experience was eerily similar to the story Zhu Yun had told.

Zhu Yun stroked Tang Ruorui’s chubby cheek and whispered, “Ruirui is so smart.”

The strange car accident, Chen Wei’an’s scheming, and his refusal to admit to raising a fox all these signs were leading Zhu Yun to uncover the truth about the car accident. It was all thanks to Tang Ruorui noticing something was wrong with Chen Wei’an. Otherwise, Zhu Yun would have been stuck going in circles.

Zhu Yun had already suspected that the car accident might have been Chen Wei’an’s doing. Now that she knew he was involved with the fox clan, his suspicion grew even stronger.

But why did it have to be her who died? And who was the one who helped her find the culprit?

Chen Wei’an hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to confess. He said, “Sister Zhu Yun, if I tell you this, will you help me with my ex-girlfriend?”

Zhu Yun nodded without changing her expression. “Yes.”

I’ll quickly report him to the police, which counts as solving the problem, right?

Chen Wei’an lowered his head, his former confidence and arrogance gone. He muttered, “I used to be very unlucky. Nothing I did went well, and I was targeted because of my face. I was so lucky that you saved me that time. But I’m getting off track. Let me continue. One day, on my way to work, I found a fox in the garden. It was very white, like snow. I didn’t have much money then, and another mouth to feed was a burden. But for some reason, I still took it home. Later, I found that meeting it was like meeting my lucky charm. I got signed by an agent, and I became a huge star. This… this was completely beyond my agent’s expectations. He had told me at the time that to be famous, you needed fate. But in just two months, I became a popular celebrity, and my appearance became more beautiful every day.”

As he spoke, Chen Wei’an realized the horror of that white fox. Would the woman’s fate be his in the end?

Chen Wei’an didn’t dare to think about it further. What made him feel most helpless was that he couldn’t bear to give up his current good life. He didn’t want to go back to his old, miserable self.

Zhu Yun winked at Tang Ruorui, as if asking if Chen Wei’an’s changes were related to the fox clan. After getting a firm nod from Tang Ruorui, Zhu Yun couldn’t help but sigh. This sigh made Chen Wei’an’s face even paler. “Then you’re in trouble.”

Although she didn’t know what methods the fox clan used, it was clearly with malicious intent. They give Chen Wei’an a sweet treat first, then a slap in the face. It just depended on whether Chen Wei’an had the ability to handle that slap.

Cold sweat trickled down Chen Wei’an’s face. Even though Zhu Yun had made her stance clear, he still chose to deceive himself. Ultimately, his desire had blinded him. He kept mumbling to himself, “My little white fox is very obedient. It would never bite me, so it definitely won’t harm me. That must be it. I’ll definitely be safe.”

He was desperately trying to brainwash himself. Zhu Yun, on the other hand, was playing cat’s cradle with Tang Ruorui, bored. Chen Wei’an, lost in his own world, didn’t notice that Tang Ruorui had conjured the red string out of thin air, nor did he realize that this delicate little girl was not human.

Four o’clock arrived as scheduled. A woman pushed open the door to the private room. She glanced at Chen Wei’an, who was sitting there in a daze, then at Zhu Yun, who hadn’t been drawn to her. The woman’s blood-red lips curved into a bewitching smile.

Tang Ruorui frowned in a sensitive way and didn’t want to play with the red string anymore. She hugged Zhu Yun tightly and complained, “Aah, it stinks, it stinks. Piggy needs to kiss me to make it better!”

“Huh?” Zhu Yun was bumped by the little round ball, and she quickly hugged her back.

Tang Ruorui said the woman stank. Could it be…

“Wei’an.”

The woman’s affected voice was enough to give anyone goosebumps. Zhu Yun looked at the woman, whose skin was pale and her carefully outlined facial features were outstanding. But the color of her lips gave Zhu Yun a sense of discomfort.

Chen Wei’an turned his head abruptly. Seeing his former girlfriend, he was furious. “Bai Xuyan, you’ve become so strange. What good would it do you to ruin me?”

Bai Xuyan twisted her slender waist seductively as she walked over, tossing her handbag into Chen Wei’an’s lap. In a flash, she was in front of him. Her delicate, scallion-like fingers traced his cheek, and she laughed. “You ask me what good it would do to ruin you? You’ll find out the answer someday. For now, you should get some sleep.”

Red smoke puffed from her mouth, and Chen Wei’an fell to the floor like a limp noodle. Zhu Yun narrowed her beautiful eyes, and said with certainty, “The fox clan really is a persistent pest.”

Bai Xuyan licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, her narrow eyes curving in pleasure. She giggled. “If it weren’t for those useless fools in the special department, why would I have to use such a troublesome method to meet you? We need a human to act as a shield, so those guys will feel at ease letting you out.”

Bai Xuyan looked at Tang Ruorui, who was nestled in Zhu Yun’s arms. She took a deep, greedy breath. “I’m not that stupid fox, Bai Xuhong. I have many ways to deal with humans. Ah~ It really is the strongest of the You Tan clan, Tang Ruorui. The scent on her is indeed different from other You Tans. It would have been great if I had eaten you a hundred years ago. But good things should be saved for the young master. Today, Tang Ruorui’s life is mine.”

Zhu Yun’s aura was no match for Bai Xuyan. No matter what color this fox is, I’ll insult her first.

“The last red fox who said that about Tang Ruorui was skinned. Do you want to try that taste too?” Zhu Yun took a few steps back. Today was different from before. With her previous experience fighting, Zhu Yun was much better prepared. If Bai Xuyan dared to come at her, Zhu Yun would strike her down with lightning.

Bai Xuyan laughed ominously. “You are a human who is daydreaming. Do you really think I’m scared? I was planning on just catching you as bait, but I didn’t expect Tang Ruorui to come along. Heaven is kind to me!”

She contemptuously glanced at the unconscious Chen Wei’an. The fox clan had been watching him for years. Bai Xuyan had approached him on purpose, stealing his essence and planting a fox clan mark on him, waiting for the day he could become a puppet for the fox clan. As for the videos, they were completely fake. Bai Xuyan just wanted to use him to get close to Zhu Yun. Ever since Bai Xuhong died, Zhu Yun had been protected by members of the special department. Otherwise, the fox clan would have already come for revenge.

So, through her investigation of Zhu Yun, Bai Xuyan remembered Chen Wei’an from years ago. Bai Xuyan had actually cast a wide net with men like him. Leaving a fox clan mark wouldn’t cause her any harm, and she might be able to use them for other things. This time, she had used Chen Wei’an.

However, it was a surprise to Bai Xuyan that this man had the ability to meet the young master, which was why Bai Xuyan had kept him alive.

Zhu Yun looked at Bai Xuyan, who seemed to be treating her like a meal on a plate. She held a talisman between her fingers, ready to protect herself. Her serious expression made Tang Ruorui, who was about to yawn, close her mouth.

Tang Ruorui rubbed her cheek against Zhu Yun’s and said sweetly, “Don’t worry, Piggy. I’m very strong! Should I skin this stinky fox and make you a scarf?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the small and adorable Tang Ruorui flew into the air. A puff of smoke dissipated, and the alluring, charismatic Tang Ruorui reappeared in front of Zhu Yun.

Zhu Yun tilted her head. “Oh, really? You deliberately pretended to be a child to monopolize my embrace, didn’t you? From the looks of it, you’ve probably been fine for a while, right?”

You keep getting bigger and smaller, do you think you’re the Golden-Hooped Staff?

Just you wait. I’m going to take care of you, you little demon.
