AMRWFA -Chapter 220 The Female Lead and Her Simp Male Supporting Character

Hearing the commotion, Ruan Yaoyao turned around and saw a few café staff girls gathered together. One of them had just been the one to bring over a blanket earlier.

“So it’s her!”

“Yeah, that’s her. Our boss really likes her—he’s like a total simp. Always on call. One phone call and he runs out immediately, even in the middle of the night.”

“You weren’t even there in the middle of the night, how do you know that?”

“From the boss’s WeChat Moments.”

……

【So this café belongs to that cannon-fodder male supporting character? No wonder he dared to invite his fiancée here.】

【Looks like the ‘profile page’ isn’t detailed enough—it only said he’s a cannon-fodder male supporting character, a walking ATM, a simp… but didn’t clearly say what he actually does.】

【So he runs a café?】

【Then what about his friend? Runs a company?】

Gao Yousheng was still comforting Qu Shiyi, and after a while he finally managed to calm her down.

The two of them, in perfect unspoken understanding, did not mention Situ Ruiwen at all, as if nothing had happened. Instead, they casually started discussing where to go for lunch later.

After they left, Xu Nannan leaned over to Ruan Yaoyao.

“Mom, wasn’t my choice of café great? Not only is the coffee good, but there’s also free gossip to enjoy.”

“You understand what’s going on?” Ruan Yaoyao looked at her suspiciously.

【She doesn’t think this is just a love triangle, does she?】

【Well… technically it is, but that man isn’t the male lead. He’s just a scapegoat, a sucker, a green-capped simp.】

【Those two women—one is someone else’s fiancée, the other is someone else’s future wife. Neither of them has anything to do with him.】

Xu Nannan, who could hear her thoughts, almost blurted out, “I know—they…”

She quickly held back and said according to her mother’s logic, “I didn’t really understand, but I guess that guy is the male lead, the first girl is his girlfriend, and the second one is a mistress…”

“You’ve got it wrong,” Ruan Yaoyao said. “The second one is indeed a mistress, but she’s actually his crush. The first girl is his best friend’s fiancée… and the one he likes is his best friend’s girlfriend. He even wants to help his best friend win her over, so he’s planning to break off the engagement for them. But the problem is, that engagement isn’t decided by the girl—it’s a business marriage controlled by both families and his best friend…”

In other words, whether the marriage happens isn’t up to the fiancée at all—it depends on the parents and the best friend.

Xu Nannan blinked in confusion.

“So why does he even approach the fiancée instead of talking to his best friend?”

“Because his best friend is very career-focused. He’s building a company and doesn’t want relationships right now. On paper it’s a business marriage, but in reality the other family just wants him to become a live-in son-in-law.”

“A live-in son-in-law? But his friend runs a company, right?”

“It’s a startup.”

“Oh, so he built it from scratch? That’s impressive.”

“Yeah. That’s exactly why he thinks his friend is too capable—marrying a rich girl would be a loss. If he’s going to marry anyone, it should be someone who brings no benefit at all… preferably a so-called ‘rich girl’ who actually drags her family down—a so-called ‘female player’…”

Xu Nannan was shocked.

“Wait—she’s a player?!”

Ruan Yaoyao lowered her voice.

“What else do you think all those branded clothes are? Do you think a fresh graduate can afford them herself? Her family is just ordinary salaried workers…”

“I thought she came from a wealthy background. She looked like she was wearing expensive stuff.”

Compared to Gao Yousheng, Qu Shiyi’s “profile page” was much more dramatic.

From Qu Shiyi’s perspective, she was a lucky-koi type protagonist—everyone she met was kind, helpful, and influential.

As for what she looked like in the eyes of those “victims,” no one knew.

But just imagine this:

Your deskmate is a green-tea type girl. How green? So green that your childhood friend protects her instead of you, gives her everything meant for you, and even criticizes you from time to time—forcing you to give up your favorite hairpins, snacks, umbrellas on rainy days…

In short, everything you have is said to be something you “owe” her.

So even what your family prepares for you somehow ends up in her hands.

Your family doesn’t think much of it—they assume you’re just careless, and buy you another set.

You, confused and naive, never realize you’re being manipulated—your parents end up raising another “daughter” without even knowing it.

And if it were just one person, maybe it would be noticed.

But when it spreads—this person “compensates” her with pens, that person gives her notebooks, another gives her milk and cake, another gives her uniforms and shoes…

She becomes “supported” by the entire class, even multiple grades.

At this point, Qu Shiyi is practically living a wealthy life.

Everyone else spends money to study—she earns money from it, indirectly supporting an entire family.

How absurd is that?

【…】

【Damn.】

【So that’s what a ‘lucky koi fate’ means?】

【Using others’ things to benefit yourself?】

Even university recommendation slots:

“Shiyi, I like you so I’m giving you my guaranteed admission spot. See you at university!”

Even bonuses:

“Shiyi, your hands look rough—take this money and buy better hand cream.”

As for his girlfriend struggling to pay rent? He doesn’t see it at all.

And if she complains, she’s called narrow-minded for not tolerating his female friend.

“What, am I not allowed to have female friends? Do I have to be completely cut off from women?”

How ridiculous.

Yet he still does it.

The more Ruan Yaoyao thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more dissatisfied she grew with Qu Shiyi, the so-called “female lead.”

She felt this woman wasn’t a lucky koi at all—she was more like a “blood-sucking parasite.”

Anyone who got close to her would be drained and suffer bad luck.

So when her daughter asked about it, she warned her again to stay far away from Qu Shiyi.

Especially the men around her—keep them as far away as possible, or they might get “infected” and lose their minds.

“Is she more terrifying than Ma Aotian?”

Ruan Yaoyao thought for a moment.

“It’s different. One actively harms people, the other is a refined self-interested manipulator. Hard to say who’s worse—it depends on who benefits more.”

After all, everything depends on profit.

Whether Qu Shiyi takes action depends on whether the other person has value.

If there’s no value, she won’t even bother.

To put it simply, Gao Yousheng is just one of the fish in her pond—just a slightly bigger one she’s kept for longer.

If it weren’t for Situ Ruiwen later, she might have already discarded him as “not profitable” and moved on to other targets.
