Transmigrating as the Supporting Male Lead’s Sweetheart

This time, the hot search was unrelated to the previous ones. Instead, it was new content and new gossip.

[Tang Tang, are you still a human being?] [ClearSpringsTL ~ oh gosh, what drama do we have now?]

What the hell is this?

Tang Tang clicked on it with a dazed expression and discovered it was a video. More accurately, it should be called an audio because you could only hear sound. The screen remained black from beginning to end. 

In the video, the woman’s voice was sharp. The voice sounded full of grievances. And it also sounded familiar.

“I know your days were not easy when you were away from home. If it’s not easy, then isn’t if fine to just come back? I raised you like a biological daughter, so how could I be unconcerned about you… You ask for money the moment you return. Are you worthy of us husband and wife? If he really left you money, would I still not give it to you… Who would establish a will and not leave the inheritance to their wife and biological daughter but leave it to their adoptive daughter and even leave 40%? Tang Tang, are you still a human being1ClearSpringsTL ~ I previously translated this last line as “can you still be considered a person,” but I think this works better, ah?!”

The whole video suddenly ended with that sound.

Tang Tang: …

Actually, the video was very lacking in authenticity.

No one was captured in the video. Perhaps it was because the person who sneaked the footage lacked did not have the nerve to capture people in it. Therefore, you cannot see Tang Tang on the screen and only her name was mentioned by that woman.   

Presumably, if it were anyone else, everyone’s initial reaction would be that it was fake. 

However, if that person was Tang Tang, then as long as she was mentioned, she is destined to be unable to escape being scolded.

Moreover, Tang Tang previously mentioned her background during the program. She said that she never met her biological parents, and she was raised by her adoptive parents. Although she did not say it explicitly, she did imply that her adoptive mother 有家暴倾向2ClearSpringsTL ~ tl is “tendency towards domestic violence,” but term domestic violence is mainly applied towards a partner, so in this case, I think it’s better to translate as “tended to be physically abusive towards her”.

At the time when this episode was broadcasted, Tang Tang’s popularity was blowing up. This tragic life experience caused numerous fans and passers-by to be endlessly distressed for her, which dramatically boosted her popularity even higher.

Even though Tang Tang was blackened by the entire network right now, she still had a small number of fans remaining. In their hearts, they forgave Tang Tang no matter how insensible she was because they always remembered the scene of the beautiful girl crying while speaking about her unhappy past.

That was until this video appeared.

I painstakingly raised you as my own daughter… the moment you come back, you demand money… 40% of the inheritance… adding on then mournful tone when she scolding those last words.

Tang Tang, are you still a human being?!

In less than 10 minutes, the word “new” at the end of thread changed to word “hot.” Ding, ding, ding. The thread rose to the top ten in the hot search.

By the time she clicked on the thread, there were already several thousand comments on Weibo. The top account users of the popular comments, who respectively used Yan Yan, Bai Chen, and also Su Can’s pictures as their avatars, repeated the phrase:

“Tang Tang, are you still a human being?”

Further down.

[Ha ha ha! The adoptive daughter wants 40% of the inheritance. LMAO.3笑死我了Literally “I am laughing to death” Who does she think she is.]

[Back then, I remember that I used to pity Tang Tang because of her background. Now, I just want to give myself a slap.]

[In the past, there were so many people stopped being fans, but I persisted.  This time, I am really going to stop being a fan. I am truly disappointed by her act of deceiving the audience.]

[So cruel and unscrupulous! 4 ClearSpringsTL – literally, the heart of a wolf and lungs of a dog) I pity her adoptive parents who raised her for so long!]

Just an unauthenticated video, where the party could not be fully identified, was enough to convict Tang Tang of the crime.

The video must have been recorded by a neighbor, but it was unclear whether she originally only recorded this part, or whether the media deliberately edited it and only released this portion.

If it was the former, then Tang Tang was just unlucky. If it was the latter, then it clearly illustrates that someone is deliberately trampling on Tang Tang. 

Tang Tang deliberated for a while, then dialed the number of little handsome secretary who worked for Ming Shaoyan.

On the other side of S City, a beautiful woman with perfect exquisite makeup was carefully painting her fingernails. The gentle and reserved man beside her glanced at her bright red nails and made an offhand comment.

“You weren’t into this sort of thing in the past.” [Please read this directly on ClearSpringsTL.com]

Yan Yan’s eyelashes faintly trembled. She blew on the nails that had not completely dried, “Just painting them for fun.” She glanced at the gentle and reserved man when she finished speaking. “What’s going on? What did you see?”

“Tang Tang, who scolded you in the past, was exposed for blackmailing her adoptive mother.” The gentle and reserved man handed his mobile phone to Yan Yan. “Look, with one glance you can tell the video was edited. It is clear that someone wants to mess with her.”

He sighed after speaking. “So beautiful, but she doesn’t have any brains. It’s hopeless. I think this Tang Tang will be completely ruined this time.”

Yan Yan lowered her eyelashes.

Nope.

Tang Tang would not leave the scenes this early. She is possibly the most significant supporting female role in this novel. Without Tang Tang around, there would be no one around to serve as foil to her success.

If she recalled correctly, there would be someone to help Tang Tang whitewash everything.

But, it does not matter.

In this world, the person she was the least wary of is precisely Tang Tang, because only she knew Tang Tang’s biggest secret.
