I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 131: Showing off
Gu Jin wordlessly broke free from his goosebumps, thinking, This Gu Ling! Did he throw away his weak, pitiful, white lotus act in exchange for a noisier flirtatious fashion?
“What kind of work do you do?” Gu Jin asked as he observed Gu Ling's entire appearance with a cold expression. “This setup must cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, which you shouldn't have.”
“What I'm wearing is also none of your business.” Gu Ling snorted and turned his gaze upwards. “ Anyway, I didn't break the law nor did anyone's fault. Perhaps this work of mine can even contribute to the benefit of the Gu.” family
“The Gu family does not require you to contribute to the family. You better avoid doing anything that would humiliate the honor of the Gu family,” Gu Jin suggested, narrowing his eyes dangerously. “If not, you will have no reason to blame the Gu family for ignoring the affection for ten years to sever our relationship with you.”
“Gu Jin, don't forget that my last name is also Gu,” Gu Ling's red lips curved upwards.
“The night is getting late,” commented Gu Jin, after staring at Gu Ling for some time. He stood up, took his laptop, turned to Gu Teng, and told him, “Tomorrow, we will go to check on the house. Let's all go back to our rooms to sleep.”
Gu Ten nodded while lifting his laptop as well. Then, he followed Gu Jin up the stairs to his room.
“Now, stop walking away, you two!” Gu Ling waited where he stood until Gu Jin returned. She wanted to continue her jokes, but seeing that her audience was already gone, she could no longer maintain her graceful appearance and chase after them.
However, Gu Jin and his brother walked so fast, that they had already disappeared into their room in the blink of an eye. Filled with hatred, Gu Ling crouched on the ground. He was ready to let go of his restraint, but he only punched cotton in the end.
When he came back down, he walked faster in his anger. However, he lacked experience in wearing high heels, which caused his ankle to sprain unintentionally. Falling to the ground due to the pain it caused, she immediately shouted as she could, “Grandmother! Grandma! Come here and save me!”
Gu Jin and his brother, who were hiding in their room, heard the shout and hesitated. The shout sounded very wrong, so they changed their minds and slipped down.
They really didn't like Gu Ling, but that didn't mean they wanted him dead. By the time they reached the corner, they heard Grandma Gu exclaim, “Oh, my little Ling! Why did you fall to the ground?”
As Grandma Gu, at her ripe age, was about to go to sleep, she vaguely felt Gu Ling's sad cry and almost assumed that she was imagining hearing it. Nevertheless, he still walked over to check, as he was already standing nearby on the first floor. As he opened the door, he saw Gu Ling, unable to get up from his slump, and he immediately rushed over to help him stand up.
The pretty high heels that covered her feet now added another burden, so Grandma Gu took them off and almost threw them aside, but Gu Ling stopped her. “Do not throw,” said. “It's expensive.” Therefore, now, Grandma Gu had to hold high heels in one hand as well as support her granddaughter in the other.
The pair of brothers upstairs decided that the injury was not serious enough for them to go down if Gu Ling could still scream and scream.
In order to prevent Gu Ling from exploding again, Gu Jin stayed behind, letting Gu Teng be the one to pick up the medical equipment. Unfortunately, Gu Jin did not know that his absence triggered Gu Ling's anger to rise several levels higher.
……
Lying on his bed, Gu Jin exchanged messages with Mu Mingcheng.
Mu Mingcheng: [So, Uncle and Aunt agreed to allow me to visit?]
Gu Jin: [Yes]
Mu Mingcheng: [Then I will leave tomorrow.]
After receiving this, Gu Jin noticed that the availability status of others turned black…
The author has a few words to say:
Gu Ling: He must have laughed at me, knowing that I couldn't even wear high heels! Hmph!
Gu Teng: I really don't aspire to be a nurse!
Mu Mingcheng: I came out soon, because I was worried that my wife would change her mind and reject me. I didn't make him angry, did I?
