The Supporting Male Character Just Wants to Be a Tool Man - Chapter 124

CHAPTER 124. [ADDITIONAL CHAPTER] TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE FIRE, HAN CHENG ABUSED THE SHEN FAMILY

TN: chapter of just HC slaying and it’s beautiful 

Whew had a bit of a scare when my word doc didn’t open and spent half an hour trying to remember what is backed up where, but luckily the glitch passed 

Of course not!

Pinghui is his asset. He can give it to him, but no one else is allowed to rob it!

Especially before he died!

Shen Ping’s eyes were red with anger. This is the good son he raised himself. Before he died, he wanted to usurp power, to force him to die!

He thought of Shen Qingyu watching him and Xu Hui running around in a flurry, pretending to be considerate and sensible at home every day. But behind their back, he was working with outsiders to figure out how to kill their company. He felt his heart stall and almost stopped directly.

Han Cheng’s tone was steady, with some languidness and tiredness of someone who couldn’t be bothered to get involved. “Originally, taking into account QingQing’s face, I intended to help you. But who ever thought that this was your father and son’s internal struggle? I can’t interfere in your family affairs, how about I forget it?”

He finished, hung up the phone and waited for Shen Ping to call again.

He will definitely call, Han Cheng is sure.

Sure enough, he didn’t wait long. Shen Ping called within one minute after he hung up. “You have to help!”

“Han Cheng, surely you don’t want to see xiao Shu end up with nothing. With all the money his mother and I  spent a lifetime making going into his didi’s hands. So you have to help him. You have to help him get back what he should have!”

“I don’t care about this. To be honest, I don’t want to get involved.” Han Cheng said indifferently.

“So you’re going to let his didi take advantage for nothing?” Father Shen angrily said, “he was replaced when he was young. He never had a good life. Everything in the family belonged to his didi. Now, he is back. He is my biological son. Everything I have should belong to him. Do you want to see that wealth taken away by his didi again?”

“Even if you don’t care about these properties, a person needs backbone.1 Don’t you want to help him out?”

“Qingqing doesn’t care. He has no feelings for you and doesn’t care about these matters.” Han Cheng’s tone is still indifferent.

“He doesn’t care, but don’t you care as his boyfriend? Don’t you want to help him get what he deserves?”

Father Shen said in a deep voice, “if you help me this time, as long as Pinghui is fine, in the future, when I get old, Pinghui will be his, and everything I and his mother have is his! There is no Shen Qingyu in the Shen family, only Shen Qingshu!”

Han Cheng was silent for a moment.

After a long time, he said, “let me think.”

Shen Ping listened to the other party hang up and sat down in a chair.

He never thought that things would turn out like this.

He thought of how the most trusted son had planned everything secretly and did not hesitate to stab him with his trust.

He angrily swept the things on the table to the ground with a “crash”, which startled mother Shen who had just opened the door.

“What’s the matter?” Mother Shen bent down to help him clean it up.

“Your good son! Your xiao Yu! Wants to kill us behind our backs!” Father Shen said angrily.

Mother Shen wondered, “what are you talking about? Xiao Yu is not such a child.”

Father Shen was so angry that he said what Han Cheng had just told him, “will Han Cheng still frame him? He doesn’t even want to take care of the mess of our family. Will he use extra effort to frame him?”

Father Shen nodded. “I should have thought of it. Why did I fire so many people, but I still have accidents again and again. Because from the beginning to the end, I never doubted him!”

“Relying on my trust in him, he pushed Pinghui into the abyss again and again!”

Mother Shen looked at him with astonishment and disbelief. “But how could he? He has no such great ability.”

“Yan Jiayu and Zhao Heng!” Father Shen angrily said, “He doesn’t, but his friends do! He would rather let outsiders grow and use Pinghui as a sacrifice than let you and I enjoy our old age. This is our good son!”

Mother Shen lost her strength for a moment, and her legs, which were already bent, fell to the floor.

Father Shen gritted his teeth, his face turned red, and his chest heaved up and down. He wishes he could eat Shen Qingyu alive now!

Suddenly, the computer rang and a new email was received in the mailbox.

Shen’s father opened it, and it was sent by Han Cheng. The information proving Shen Qingyu was the insider.

Father Shen believed what he said. At this moment, his lungs almost burst.

“I’m going to kill him now. I must kill this beast!” He got up and walked around the desk.

Mother Shen quickly stopped him. “What’s the use of killing him? Even if you kill him, Pinghui will still be the same as it is now. When the time comes, you will still have to face a lawsuit. If you don’t win in court , you will have to go to jail. At that time, how can I support myself alone? The most urgent thing is to solve the company’s problems first!”

She asked tentatively, “what did Han Cheng say? Is he willing to help us?”

“He said it was our family affairs and he doesn’t want to get involved.”

“But he is dating xiao Shu, which means this is his family affairs.”

“I said that.” Father Shen looked at her. “But you know xiao Chu’s attitude towards us. He doesn’t want Han Cheng to help us. I persuaded for a long time, but he just said he would consider it.”

Father Shen sat down depressed on the sofa. “I knew that when xiao Shu came back, I should have made Shen Qingyu scram!”

“Look, we have raised him for so many years. We dressed him in gold and silver, and he ate only the best. What’s the result? When he grows up, he immediately bites us back. He doesn’t only bite us, but wants to swallow us whole! What kind of evil is this?”

“Who is disagreeing?” Mother Shen said sadly, “how can he do this? Does he still have us as parents in his heart?”

“A white eyed wolf, the child of other families are ill bred. Guo Hong that b*tch switched out our child for the sake of her own child. What kind of good thing can she give birth to? The dragon begets the dragon, the Phoenix begets the Phoenix, and the son of the mouse can make holes! That b*tch, is the son of the mouse, so must also be a b*tch!”

Mother Shen listened. Her eyes were wet and she could not help crying.

How could this happen?

They have raised the child for more than 20 years. How can he bite the hand that feeds him?

Is this still human ? !

In his heart, he didn’t have her as a mother?

Was all the clever and sensible behaviour just pretending?

Mother Shen’s heart was cold, and her tears increased.

She was crying when father Shen’s cell phone rang, breaking the sadness and irritability in the room.

Father Shen saw that it was Han Cheng’s number and immediately picked it up. “Hello, xiao Cheng, are you willing?”

“It depends on whether you are willing or not.” Han Cheng calmly said, “I just thought about it. It’s not impossible to help you, but I have conditions. If you agree, I’m not unable to find some free time.”

“Tell us, under what conditions?”

“Proof. Come to my place. I’ve drawn up a contract. If you sign, I’ll help you. If you don’t, I won’t bother to interfere in your family affairs.”

“I’ll go now.” Father Shen said hastily.

“Call Mrs. Shen to join us. She has to sign this contract too.”

Father Shen could not help but look at mother Shen. His eyes were full of doubts. They had to sign the contract together?

However, father Shen couldn’t think so much. After hanging up the phone, he took mother Shen to go with him.

Han Cheng looked at the contract at hand and felt very happy.

He sent a wechat message to Shen Qingshu: [Your parents are coming to sign the contract soon.]

Shen Qingshu: [Contract?]

Han Cheng: [En, I’ve drawn up a contract for you. Then, you can ignore them if you don’t want to see them.]

Shen Qingshu is curious: [Send it to me.]

Han Cheng took a photo and sent it to him. Shen Qingshu opened the photo and looked at it. He thought it was very detailed.

Shen Qingshu: [But then, don’t you have to contact them?]

Han Cheng: [don’t worry, they dare not make trouble in front of me.]

That’s true, Shen Qingshu thought, still… Han Cheng really took great pains for him.

Shen Qingshu looks at his mobile phone and unconsciously smiles. It’s good that his boyfriend knows everything and is so reliable.

How lucky he is!

If you don’t die in a great calamity, you’ll be blessed!

No, he met such a good lover as soon as he transmigrated!

Shen Qingshu felt sweet and replied with a smile: [Thank you, gege. I’ll cook for you tonight.]

Han Cheng is curious: [can you cook?]

Shen Qingshu: [Zhou Jianming gave me a dumplings commercial. The brand sent me a large box. Let me cook dumplings for you.]

Han Cheng:… He knew it.

Han Cheng: [it’s better for your husband to make it for you. Eat some good food, baby.]

Shen Qingshu: [then I’ll give you a hand.]

Han Cheng smiled and said: “no, I want you to wait for me to come back and say to me personally: Thank you, husband ~”

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu put down his mobile phone in silence. How shameless!

The Shen family’s parents came very quickly. Han Cheng did not let them wait this time. He directly asked the secretary to go downstairs to pick them up.

Father and mother Shen sat on the sofa, looking at him suspiciously, as they waited for him to speak.

Han Cheng asked his secretary to bring in two cups of coffee, not in a hurry to hand over the contract that had been drawn up before.

“My terms are all on this. Look at it. If you want, you can sign it. If you don’t want to, I won’t force it.”

Father and mother Shen read it carefully. The more they looked, the more delicate their expressions became.

“QingQing is our own son. He just moved his Hukou over last year.2 It’s not good to move away so soon.”

“This is what QingQing wants. You know how he has been since he came to your house. I don’t need to tell you. When you drove him out, did you remember that he was your own son? When you froze his card, did you worry about how he would live without money?”

“To be honest, you didn’t support him in the first half of his life and you didn’t treat him well in the months when he came home. After he ran away from home, he had nothing to do with you. So, what’s the difference between a biological son and a stranger to you?”

“Oh, of course there are.” Han Cheng asked and answered himself, “he knows me, so you can sit here and ask me for help. Without this biological son and his unbreakable blood relationship with you, you wouldn’t be here at all, nor do you deserve to be here.”

Hearing this, father Shen felt ashamed.

Shen’s mother gently advised him, “Xiao Cheng, you also said that we are his parents. Since we are his parents, how can we not be in the same household registration? I have already discussed it with his father. In the future, our family will only have Shen Qingshu, and there will be no Shen Qingyu!”

“Let me tell you this. I will definitely marry QingQing in the future. By then, we will have the same household registration, so it’s only a matter of time. If you don’t agree. I won’t force it.”

Father Shen: …

Mother Shen: …

The two people looked at each other, repressed their frustration and continued to look down.

After staring for a while, father Shen said, “the company…”

“I can help you save Pinghui, but after it’s saved, QingQing will be the largest shareholder and the new president. Don’t worry, I’m not Shen Qingyu, so you and your wife will still hold some of Pinghui’s shares, but that’s all. You are also old. It’s time for you and your wife to relax and enjoy the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. Aren’t you happy?”

“I will guarantee you, with only the dividends every year are enough to nourish you. When you get old, QingQing and I will also give you the alimony you should have, so that you can live the rest of your life without worrying about food and clothing. This is also very good, isn’t it?”

Father Shen looked at him, unable to speak.

Those who have gained power will never be content just with money.

Han Cheng obviously wanted to take his power and only gave him part of the money.

At this moment, father Shen suddenly realised that his power could not be guaranteed. Either he chose Shen Qingshu to step down peacefully and retire, or he chose Shen Qingyu who used his lifetime of effort to build a new life.

He can no longer be the former president Shen Ping. After this, he can only be the father of president Shen.

The difference is whether that president Shen is Shen Qingshu or Shen Qingyu.

He looked at Han Cheng. Han Cheng was still calm and indifferent. Shen Ping wondered for the first time how his son got to know and captured such a man?

If Han Cheng can sit here and open these conditions with him while he was  in a dilemma, he must not be the love brain that Xu Hui described before.

Then, why did he like Shen Qingshu?

When they didn’t notice, when they missed the chance to love and be responsible for Shen Qingshu, what kind of person was Shen Qingshu?

Is he really as weak and stupid as he thought before?

It was rare for him to seriously recall Shen Qingshu’s appearance in his mind, but he only felt that those memories seemed to be covered with layers of fog and could not be seen clearly.

Shen Ping regretted that he had told him to leave in a moment of anger.

He did not expect that he would really leave, just as he did not expect that he would never come back once he left.

People who have no ability depend on others, look at each other’s attitude, and live on other’s alms.

However, people with ability can rely on themselves, so Shen Qingshu resolutely and unrestrainedly walked away from them. The deepest impression he left was not when he said he was their son when he returned home, but that he mercilessly called him a nouveau riche in the living room. It was he who turned around and left, and never had contact with them again.

He doesn’t need to rely on the Shen family at all. He has his own light and warmth, so he can live better after leaving.

This may be the best gift that God has ever given him. He has the ability, courage and dreams, so he could have inherited and expanded his company after a hundred years. Therefore, helping himself get rid of the reputation of the nouveau riche and enter the upper class society.

But he himself drove that person out.

Shen Qingshu was not affected. He even lived better. He became a famous star and had a lover like Han Cheng.

But what about him?

Even his own company is about to be ruined.

Father Shen sighed. He regretted that he had not taken Shen Qingshu seriously at that time.

“不蒸馒头争口气 = Don’t lose the last breath to steam steam buns.

I sold my child to buy a steamer, yet I couldn’t steam the steamed buns:

In order to buy a steamer, I sold my child, so we are very poor. After buying the steam we have no money to buy things to steam.

The original intention is to say that when steaming the steamed buns, the last breath must be used, otherwise the steamed buns will be raw, but the meaning is a pun.

Alternatively

Sell the wheat to buy a steamer. After the wheat is processed into flour, the steamed buns can be steamed. Now that the wheat is sold, how to steam the steamed buns without flour? There are no steamed buns to steam, so buying a steamer is not for steaming buns, so what  is the use? I guess another version of putting the cart before the horse

户口 = Hukou, mainland China household registration system. Tidbit: The hukou system codifies various social inequalities in China by dividing the population into two classes, rural and urban, to determine where citizens can receive public services. There have been various announcements to change such a system that haven’t had any meaningful impact so far.
