As for Father Yu, he was usually too busy with work to be home often. The original Yu Sheng had suffered a lot of grievances, which he was unaware of. As for how he would react if he knew, Yu Sheng wasn’t sure. After all, the book didn’t mention it.

“Come, let me introduce you to some people,” Father Yu spoke at this moment.

The people attending the banquet for Yu Sheng’s return were all familiar with the Yu family’s business connections.

As she walked alongside her father and mother, Yu Sheng seemed to hear Yu Wei quietly ask her mother, “Mom, the Chen family isn’t coming?”

Yu Mother lightly patted Yu Wei’s hand and replied, “The Chen family’s status is still too high. Although we invited them, they said they were too busy to attend.” Yu Mother sighed. Only the Chen family had the audacity to directly refuse them in such a manner. Yet, the Yu family couldn’t say anything and still had to treat them with courtesy.

After hearing this, Yu Wei didn’t say anything more.

The Chen family?

Yu Sheng carefully recalled the events in the book.

In this book, The Devilish Type of Love, there were so many high-quality male supporting characters: the Gu family, the He family, the Shi family—all had suitable male leads. However, from what Yu Mother said, Yu Sheng gleaned one useful piece of information—the Chen family was of high status. But it seemed the Chen family wasn’t mentioned much in the book.

Yu Sheng thought to herself, she had only read half of the book, so it was possible that major characters, like the Chen family, would appear later. Thus, it was normal that she didn’t know much about them yet.

After reading the female supporting character’s tragic ending, Yu Sheng went online to vent.

She wanted to see if anyone shared her opinion that the female supporting character, Yu Sheng, had such a tragic fate. But what irritated her was that the internet was filled with praise for the main heroine. Many comments said the entire book was “so amazing” and “so perfect,” with almost no sympathy for the female supporting character.

Yu Sheng was stubborn and scrolled through the comments again, hoping to see how the plot of the novel developed. To her surprise, the drama escalated dramatically.

As expected in a romance novel, the plot focused heavily on romantic drama.

Yu Wei eventually chose her true love from among the many high-quality male characters, and from then on, the drama became all about love and passion.

Since the book was called The Devilish Type of Love, the male lead was bound to be charming, dangerous, and seductive, much like a devil.

The later comments all praised the male lead: “So handsome,” “Ah, please, God, give me a male lead,” “How can he be so charming,” “Quickly lock him in, the heroine is already yours.”

But Yu Sheng didn’t pay much attention to the male lead’s name.

Sigh, such a cliché novel, she had no interest in finishing it.

Even now that she had transmigrated into the novel, she didn’t regret not reading it to the end.

Since she had entered this world, the original plot no longer mattered.

With a graceful smile, Yu Sheng impressed everyone around her. They had expected the Yu family’s estranged daughter to be unrefined, but to their surprise, she turned out to be a gentle, captivating beauty.

She wore an elegant black evening gown that was not designed by any famous designer but had a unique style that caught the attention of most people in the room.

As for her appearance, it seemed flawless.

Her temperament and speech were equally praiseworthy, leaving no room for criticism.

No wonder she was from the Yu family; even though she had grown up outside, she still carried the elegance unique to the Yu family.

If Yu Sheng could hear their thoughts, she would probably sneer at them.

She kept her smile, until she heard a familiar name.

Gu Yi.

Yu Sheng instinctively glanced in that direction.

Since transmigrating into the novel, what amazed Yu Sheng the most was that everyone in the story was so attractive.

Like this supporting character, Gu Yi, who was probably about 1.8 meters tall, with long legs, and dressed in a silver-gray suit. He exuded a cold and somewhat forbidden aura.

As for Gu Yi’s looks, Yu Sheng glanced at him and had to admit that with his appearance, if he were in her original world, he would have likely been a heartthrob in the entertainment industry, attracting countless fans from his debut.

Becoming a top celebrity would just be a matter of time.

However, Gu Yi, despite his good looks, was still just a supporting character, not even a potential male lead.

Why?

Because in the end, he became Yu Sheng’s husband.

And he truly embodied the concept of being a supporting character with his heart fully belonging to the heroine, always putting her first. Even when the female supporting character, Yu Sheng, was about to give birth, a simple phone call from the heroine could easily summon him, even if there was no real reason for him to go.

Yu Sheng reminisced about the scenes in the book involving Gu Yi and lightly snorted. Her gaze drifted over his face, and then she casually turned to greet the other guests with her parents.

As for Gu Yi, he stared at Yu Sheng for several seconds before shifting his gaze to Yu Wei.

At this banquet, Yu Sheng made sure everyone remembered who she was.

But the guests that night were not particularly impressive.

After all, the Yu family had only risen to prominence in the past decade and could be considered nouveau riche. Truly influential families still looked down on the Yu family.

After greeting a large group of people, Yu Sheng realized that neither the He family nor the Shi family had sent anyone. She had hoped to meet several of the male supporting characters, but the only one present was Gu Yi.

After the banquet, Yu Sheng noticed no one commented on her black evening gown, so she eventually brought it up herself.

After all, the gown had been maliciously damaged, and she felt her father and mother should know about it.

Father Yu paused for a moment, then said, “I know.”

Yu Mother looked at the gown and smiled. “It was probably one of the maids who accidentally ruined it. Some of them are so clumsy. But after the repairs, the gown actually looks better.”

Yu Sheng was momentarily speechless. If any maid was that clumsy, how could she still work in the Yu family? Was the family really going to tolerate such incompetence?

Yu Sheng couldn’t accept this explanation. She felt there was nothing more to say to them. After saying goodnight to her parents, she returned to her room.

Yu Sheng thought that her father and mother probably connected the ruined gown to their obedient daughter, Yu Wei, which was why they were so nonchalant about it. The difference in treatment between her and Yu Wei became apparent.

Her room was lavishly decorated, and the bed was soft and comfortable. After the events of the night, Yu Sheng fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

The next morning, after waking up and taking a shower, Yu Sheng opened the wardrobe. Contrary to the rumored scene of piles of clothes, there was nothing like that. Since there was already a little princess in the family, no one expected her to be the second one. Looking at the clothes in the wardrobe, she casually picked one and put it on. After all, with her beautiful face and model-like figure, anything would look good on her.

At breakfast, Father Yu asked, “Xiaosheng, do you have a driver’s license?”

Yu Sheng shook her head. The original family was so poor, they couldn’t afford to get a license.

Mother Yu suggested, “Then you should go get one soon. It’s easy.”

After finishing his meal, Father Yu wiped his mouth with a white napkin and said, “Since you’re back, we haven’t had time to buy you a car. Xiao Wei has several, so pick one of hers to drive for now.”

Father Yu then turned to Yu Wei. “Weiwei, what do you think?”

Yu Wei lowered her eyes and smiled slightly. “Sure.”

Although Yu Wei had just turned eighteen, there were already more than five sports cars in the garage. They all looked brand new, probably barely driven. Yu Sheng chose a bright red sports car from Yu Wei’s collection.

The car looked incredibly flashy.

There was no sign of dissatisfaction on Yu Wei’s face. Yu Sheng thought maybe this car was compensation for the damaged gown from yesterday. After all, she didn’t remember such a scene in the original plot. But having a car was better than having none.

Yu Sheng spent the day getting familiar with the Yu family. Their activities were diverse—Father Yu was busy with work and socializing, while Mother Yu, a full-time housewife, spent her days with friends, enjoying tea, getting beauty treatments, and shopping.

As for Yu Wei, her activities were even more abundant.

After breakfast, Yu Mother had suggested that Yu Wei take Yu Sheng to meet her friends, but Yu Wei didn’t respond, which was effectively a refusal.

Yu Mother was embarrassed but didn’t want to scold her.

Yu Sheng smiled casually, not taking Yu Wei’s silent refusal to heart.

So after breakfast, only Yu Sheng was left at home.

She was twenty years old, had just finished high school, and would be starting university in the fall. The original Yu Sheng had chosen a literature major, but Yu Sheng decided to switch to a department she liked in her second year.

In the evening, after dinner, Yu Sheng had nothing else to do, so she decided to take the car from Yu Wei and go for a drive.
