Today I Will Also Be the Male Protagonist’s Rival - Chapter 28

The sun was blazing.

Inside the dilapidated rental apartment, the curtains were drawn open, and the harsh sunlight streamed straight in, causing the girl on the bed to frown slightly before slowly opening her eyes.

“Mm…”

Su Yu propped herself up and sat upright, glancing around with a somewhat complicated look in her eyes.
“Iron Hammer, is this… the next world?”

【Yes, Host.】

Su Yu exhaled softly and quickly regained her composure. She lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

After rummaging around, she pulled a bottle of cola from the fridge. Tilting her head back for a sip, she sat down on the sofa, the dryness in her throat easing just a little.

“Iron Hammer, give me a brief overview of this world.”

【This is your second mission world: Billions in the Wealthy Family: Mr. Jin’s Overindulgent Wife.】

【Your identity is that of the supporting female character Su Yu, the illegitimate daughter of the Su family’s eldest master—one of the Four Great Wealthy Families of Xiangjiang.】

【In the original plot: Before her identity was discovered, the supporting female character Su Yu once had a romantic relationship with the male lead, Jin Licheng. Because the male lead hadn’t revealed his identity, she looked down on him and heartlessly dumped him. Later, upon learning he was about to get engaged to the female lead, she became resentful and tried to interfere, ultimately getting ruthlessly dealt with by the male lead.】

“Another story that sounds perfectly fine on the surface.”

Su Yu took another sip, her slender pale fingers giving the bottle a twist before she tossed the crumpled bottle cleanly into the trash can.

She was already used to Iron Hammer’s taste in selecting mission worlds—everything looked normal on the surface, but was full of hidden traps underneath.

“Iron Hammer, give me all the memories at once.”

【Understood.】

Half an hour later, Su Yu, having absorbed all the memories, pressed at the center of her brow.
“Iron Hammer, why are there no memories of the female lead?”

She had a rough grasp of the plot, but what puzzled her was that the female lead’s name seemed completely redacted, like it had been censored from start to finish.

【The female lead’s memories are classified as top-level confidential and must be unlocked by the Host personally.】

“Interesting.”

Su Yu raised her eyebrows and gave a casual smile.

Still classified?

“Let’s go. Time to do the mission.”

Su Yu stood up and headed straight for the bathroom.

The bathroom was cramped and dim. Even with the lights on, the lighting was still poor.

But even so, the beautiful face in the mirror was still strikingly vivid.

This world’s Su Yu also possessed an exceptionally gifted appearance. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made the male lead hate her to the point of grinding his teeth.

The girl in the mirror looked no more than twenty-something.

Her skin was fair and lustrous, her eyebrows were delicate and long, and her narrow, shimmering peach-blossom eyes were naturally seductive. Just a glance upward felt like a flirtatious tease.

Unlike the previous world’s intensely dazzling beauty, this Su Yu exuded a more youthful allure tinged with shyness.

Born with a naturally seductive aura—soft and fragrant.

Su Yu let out a light laugh, her brows lifting as charm sparkled at the corners of her eyes—seductive in every way.

“Tsk.”

She scoffed softly, then bit her lip, her eyes sparkling with a pitifully alluring glow.

She could switch effortlessly between innocence and seduction.

“Iron Hammer, let’s go. First stop: the banquet.”

Su Yu grabbed the clothes nearby and stepped out.

【I would recommend the Host change clothes first.】

Su Yu paused. “Hm?”

【Wearing that outfit, the Host may not be allowed into the wealthy family’s banquet.】

The mechanical voice took on a particularly serious tone, especially emphasizing the words “wealthy family.”

With that reminder, Su Yu suddenly remembered—this was her second world. She was no longer a popular A-list celebrity.

In this world, she had nothing. No money, no status, and certainly… no Huo Shu.

For a moment, Su Yu felt dazed, but quickly adjusted her mindset. She rummaged through drawers and finally found the original host’s last bit of savings.

Clutching the bank card, Su Yu stood in front of the ATM, her expression complicated as she stared at the screen showing a balance of 1,001.5 yuan.

In her past life—or the last world—money had never been a concern.

And now, food and clothing had become a problem.

This feeling… was truly hard to describe.

She withdrew the remaining funds and bought a high-quality knockoff evening dress. With a sigh, Su Yu ducked into a hair salon.

She couldn’t afford professional styling, but the salon could at least meet her basic needs.

Thinking about the plot to come, Su Yu lifted her lips slightly in a trace of mockery.

In this world, scumbags were everywhere—especially among the Four Great Wealthy Families of Xiangjiang. It was practically a scumbag convention.

The original host’s father, Su Yudong, was exactly that kind of man. His legal wife had died early, so he remarried. Still unsatisfied, he had mistresses everywhere.

The original host’s mother was one of the women he had seduced. Sadly, he soon forgot about her, and she passed away in sorrow. It wasn’t until much later that the original host was acknowledged and brought back.

Now, her goal was to get ahead of the original plotline, return to the Su family, and begin the next phase of her plan.

8:00 PM

Outside the Shengshi Grand Court, luxury cars lined the parking lot. Coming and going were elites and aristocrats from every field.

Su Yu furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at the heavily guarded front entrance and sighed.
“Iron Hammer, I won’t be able to get in without an invitation, will I?”

【That’s correct.】

She rubbed her brow. “Looks like I’ll have to find another way.”

Zzz—

A jet-black Maybach rolled to a stop. Even from a distance, the hotel manager hurried out to greet it.

Who was this VIP?

Su Yu’s eyes lit up. Curling her lips into a smile, she stepped forward to approach.
