Chapters List

Chapter 389: This Bankrupt Male Lead, I'm Supporting Him! 1

A thick bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky, as bright as day. A clap of thunder followed, so loud that the high-rise buildings shook.

Su Tang was jolted awake by the thunder. Before she could collect herself, her phone started ringing incessantly. She rubbed her throbbing temples and answered the call.

Before she could even say "hello," the person on the other end was chattering away excitedly.

"Yaoyao! Did you see the news? The Huo family, you know, Huo Yuan, that guy who always went against you, the big idiot you've been at odds with since you were kids, he's gone bank-rupt!" The person on the other end of the phone seemed exceptionally excited, her voice cracking as she spoke. "His mother ran away with her lover, taking the rest of his family's money with her! Oh my god, I can laugh at this for ten years, no, a lifetime!"

Su Tang had just woken up and was still in a daze. She didn't react much to the news. Fortunately, the other person was talking to her over the phone; otherwise, they would have found her reaction strange.

She remained silent, but the person on the other end didn't stop. "Hurry up and watch CCTV! They're reporting it right now! Oh my god, it's so exciting!"

Su Tang did as she was told, hanging up the phone and grabbing the remote. She turned on the TV, found the central channel, and saw the host reporting the news in her clear and standard Mandarin.

"…The People's Court ruled today that Huo Corporation is bankrupt. Huo Corporation will face a high amount of debt, totaling 8.603 billion. According to our reporter's interview, Huo Corporation employees are emotionally collapsed, and the legal representative of Huo Corporation has not yet come forward…"

Su Tang only caught the gist of it, but that was enough.

She remembered that the Huo family was the family of the male lead, Huo Yuan. They used to be a famous wealthy family in City A. However, the male lead's background was a bit tragic. His mother died early, and his father was a playboy, so he married a new wife before Huo Yuan even had any memories.

Huo's father was never home, even after remarrying. Therefore, little Huo Yuan became the target of his stepmother. In front of outsiders, she was always a loving mother, but behind their backs, she was a vicious stepmother. No one believed that this gentle-looking woman could do such cruel things. Little Huo Yuan always thought it was his fault, so he tried his best to work hard, desperately wanting a little attention, a little smile, from his mother, but no matter how hard he tried, he could never compare to his younger brother.

In such an environment, his personality gradually became twisted, and he even developed severe autism. It wasn't until later that he discovered he was just her stepson, and he finally understood why she always looked at him with such a vicious gaze, wishing him dead.

His autism turned into misanthropy. He began to hate the Huo family, hate himself, and even hate the world.

Su Tang's arrival was to treat his autism.

Her method was quite simple. As one of the wealthy families and neighbors, they could often meet when they were young. Her way of treating autism was to reveal his mother's true identity through the servants' mouths when he was still young and had just begun to rely on his stepmother.

No expectations, no disappointment; no disappointment, no autism. How simple and crude.

At that time, Huo Yuan was only about six years old. A six-year-old child, just starting kindergarten, was at the age when he needed maternal love the most. Su Tang was also worried at the time. He was so young, what if he was abused again? What if he got hurt? So she had to keep an eye on him until he turned eighteen before leaving. She was truly very responsible.

However, Su Tang was also worried that this guy would develop unnecessary feelings for her, so her way of getting along with Huo Yuan was very strange: they would bicker with each other.

After Huo Yuan learned that his birth mother was someone else at the age of six, his personality became extremely cold and indifferent to everyone, except for Su Tang. The two of them always had childish arguments. In the end, everyone in their circle knew that their relationship was not good.

Anyway, where there was Lin Yao, there was no Huo Yuan, and where there was Huo Yuan, there was no Lin Yao.

Su Tang was now Lin Yao, and she was exactly twenty years old this year. According to her memories, today was her birthday. She went out to have fun all day, drinking until she went crazy, from one o'clock in the afternoon to ten o'clock at night. Finally, she couldn't hold on anymore and dragged her drunken body home.

It hadn't been two hours since she returned home, which meant her twentieth birthday wasn't over yet, but now she was dizzy and unsteady on her feet, without any joy of celebrating her birthday.

She barely managed to get up and drink a glass of water to relieve her discomfort, but there wasn't even a glass of hot water at home. The cold water made her feel even more nauseous.

Feeling hopeless, she collapsed on the sofa and could only weakly pick up her phone to order takeout.

She couldn't eat much, but she had to eat something; otherwise, she would probably have a stomachache tomorrow after her hangover. So, she simply chose some light dishes like white porridge for supper. To get it delivered quickly, she even paid extra.

After ordering, she continued to lie there like a corpse.

She didn't know how long had passed, but she was half-asleep when the phone rang again.

"Hello."

"Your takeout is here."

Hearing this, Su Tang didn't even put on her slippers and walked barefoot to the door. When she opened it, she was stunned.

The person outside the door had sharp eyes, deep features, and was very handsome, but he looked a bit disheveled now. He was soaked all over, and his face was covered in stubble.

Su Tang blinked. The other person also looked at her, his eyes devoid of joy or sorrow. "Miss Lin, your takeout. Please sign for it."

This opening scene really sobered Su Tang up a bit.

Who would have thought that the first time she met the male lead after returning would be in such a situation? Having been oppressed by the male leads of those previous worlds for so long, Su Tang felt a sense of relief and liberation, like a peasant turning the tables, when she looked at Huo Yuan in front of her.

She crossed her arms and leaned lazily against the door frame, not taking the food. She looked at him with a half-smile. "Oh, isn't this our Young Master Huo? Is he so miserable after Huo Corporation went bankrupt that he's delivering takeout now?"

Huo Yuan no longer argued with her as he used to. He frowned, and his voice was a bit cold. "Miss Lin, your takeout. Please sign for it."

Su Tang clicked her tongue, her tone becoming more and more unpleasant. "What if I don't want it?"

Huo Yuan obviously didn't want to waste any more time with her. He directly placed the takeout on the ground. "Miss Lin, I wish you a pleasant meal."

Su Tang's eyes widened in anger. "Huo Yuan, get back here!" After saying that, seeing that the other person was still walking away without looking back, Su Tang became even angrier and could only resort to her trump card, threatening shamelessly, "Huo Yuan, if you take another step, I'll complain about you!"

Complaints would result in a deduction of pay. As a second-generation rich kid, Su Tang took shamelessness to the extreme.

She raised her chin proudly, and when she saw the other person stop and seem to be taking a deep breath, he finally turned around with a cold face after a moment. "Miss Lin, I'm very busy. Speak your mind."

Su, the arrogant, Tang: Come, from now on, I am your sugar mama.

Huo Yuan rubbed his hands excitedly. My wife wants to support me. So happy, but I can't let my wife know.

Thus, Huo, the aloof, Yuan: Sponsoring me is very expensive.
