Transmigrating as the Supporting Male Lead’s Sweetheart

“What did you do this afternoon?”

Tang Tang thought Ming Shaoyan was asking Aunt Cheng. After a few seconds of silence, Ming Shaoyan suddenly stopped walking and turned back to look at her. Only then did she realize that Aunt Cheng already went to the kitchen.

“Are you asking me?”

Perceiving that Ming Shaoyan was about to frown again, Tang Tang promptly caught up to him with a couple steps, “I played a while on the mobile phone, read for a while, and also tried on some clothes.” Then she added, “Thank you, Xiao Shu. I really like the clothes.”

“No need to thank me,” Ming Shaoyan sat on the sofa expressionlessly and picked up a financial magazine. “They were all selected by my secretary.”

“Your secretary selected them, but they were purchased with your money. Therefore, Xiao Shu is the one I need to thank the most.”

Ming Shaoyan glanced up at Tang Tang and gave a faint hum to acknowledge Tang Tang’s gratitude. “Sit.”

He spoke while his eyes were still fixed on the magazine in his hands. “Have you looked at Weibo this afternoon?”

“… I saw it.”

“Congratulations, you are on the hot search again.”

“…”

Ming Shaoyan expressionlessly mocked Tang Tang, then turned a page on his magazine and continued to speak apathetically, “What do you plan to do?”

What do I plan to do?

Since Ming Shaoyan mentioned the hot search, he is definitely aware of the video. Therefore, was he actually asking about her plans regarding the inheritance or about her plans regarding the hot search?

Tang Tang was trying to guess what Ming Shaoyan meant and could not help but ridicule him internally. Can’t you speak more clearly? It won’t kill you to speak an extra word.1

As she could not guess what Ming Shaoyan was asking, to avoid being mocked again, Tang Tang decided she might as well examine both topics. “That video just so happens to be the section that contains the most vague audio-visual cut. They did not distinguish what is real or fake and indiscriminately followed the tempo. I can definitely file a lawsuit, but because it was reposted by so many marketing accounts, I will only sue the ones with the most reposts and comments. As for the inheritance, I am certain that my adoptive father left 40% of his legacy to me. The will is established by law, therefore I am prepared to hire a lawyer and use legal means to settle the issue.”

In fact, Ming Shaoyan was only asking offhandedly. [Please read the translations directly on ClearSpringsTL.com]

Ming Shaoyan was 10 years old when his mother and brother forfeited their lives in a car accident. He was 16 years old when his father passed away from illness. From that moment on, Ming Shaoyan did not have any close relatives.

Ming Shaoyan spent the next 10 or so years alone. During those 10 years in the big empty house, other than Aunt Cheng, there were only hired help who come and go. 

Now, however, there is an extra person in the house. Moreover, this person is a girl.

Ming Shaoyan was unwilling to admit it, but he was also unable to deny that he did not know how to interact with a niece that was about 7 to 8 years younger than himself.

Thus, he was only asking offhandedly and did not expect Tang Tang to answer very seriously.

What was even more unexpected was that Tang Tang had a thorough understanding of matters and also planned things quite clearly. Ming Shaoyan was suddenly a bit confused.

Isn’t this quite clever? Why did she seek to vilify herself by saying such stupid things in the past?

In the past, the reason she mocked Yan Yan was because of Bai Chen. The reason why she said those stupid things was because she was driven crazy from jealousy. Is this the so-called a fool for love?2

Sure enough. Love, this sort of uncontrollable and unstable element, is not a good thing. Moreover, it is not something that he, Ming Shaoyan, needs.

If Tang Tang can continue to act like she did today, it is not impossible for him to treat her a little better.

Tang Tang previously said she wanted to stay in the entertainment circle. Ming Shaoyan naturally wanted to find the most reliable and trustworthy agent for her. This happens to Dana, the agent who is currently managing Bai Chen.

However, now that he has witnessed Tang Tang’s organized thoughts and clearly intelligent appearance when she is serious, Ming Shaoyan suddenly felt that he should find someone else in order to prevent Tang Tang from losing her IQ3 again when she sees Bai Chen.

“Regarding these matters,” Ming Shaoyan paused for a moment before he resumed speaking, “you don’t have to manage them.”

Tang Tang looked up in surprise, “Don’t manage them?”

Since Tang Tang wants to stay in the entertainment circle, then it was natural to sign her under Shengyu. In public, Tang Tang is an artist under his banner. In private, she is his biological niece. If he doesn’t manage it, then who will? Let Tang Tang handle it herself? She is just a teenage girl. How can she handle it? 

“What can you do to manage it?” Ming Shaoyan looked at Tang Tang and sneered. “Can you afford to hire a lawyer? Better yet, are you able to investigate which media spread the news?”

Tang Tang: …
