I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character

Chapter 142: Sister-in-law

Mu Mingcheng said, “Because of Grandfather's stable condition, mother and father, you two should go back and rest. There is no shortage of people here to take care of Grandpa.”

As soon as old man Mu Mingcheng walked out towards the VIP room, Gu Jin let out a sigh of relief.

It was a lie to say that he was not nervous at all when he first met Mu Mingcheng's parents. One reason in particular was because of the scandal Gu Ling and Xu Chenghui had from these past two days.

Even if Gu Ling had no blood relation to him, he was still his cousin. Xu Chenghui himself was a politician. He must marry a woman whose family background and abilities can help him in his political career, meaning his wife will not only be a name partner; he will not only be; such a couple should come from a family that has the same status as him. After all, it was extremely unlikely for someone like Gu Ling to take on the role, given that she had no family background, nor was she able to enter the university.

So, one could imagine what kind of identity Gu Ling had when she lived with Xu Chenghui.

It is impossible to write the character 'Gu' ( ⁇ ) in one stroke. It was quite a shame that his cousin, despite being just his name, became the lover of Xu Chenghui, who was Mu Mingcheng's cousin.

Even if everyone knew that their relationship was not good, it would not stop people from making irresponsible comments.

Although Mu Jingzhou and Xu Jie did not pay too much attention to reputation, it was inevitable that Gu Jin and Mu Mingcheng would encounter obstacles to establish their relationship.

Fortunately, they all had a good attitude towards Gu Jin even if he did not know if it was because they did not care, or because they had not heard the news. Nevertheless, he felt very flattered for their kindness.

……

However, there was still a difficult battle to fight; gu Jin stood upright like a soldier about to go to the battlefield.

After knocking on the door of the ward, Mu Mingcheng noticed his condition and massaged his waist. His voice when talking to her was calm and reassuring. “They won't eat you with me.”

Gu Jin glanced at him and pulled his hand from his waist. Does he not know where they are now? And still he did not understand where he should hold back.

“Sepupu, she's this.” Xu Jiaoyun's lethargic eyes lit up when he saw Mu Mingcheng. She turned to look at Gu Jin, who was close to her, smiled cleverly and said, “This must be my future sister-in-law, she is really pretty.”

“Halo, just call me Gu Jin.” Gu Jin smiled gently. “You are Jiaoyun's cousin. I've heard of you before.”

“Really? Did my cousin call me?” Xu Jiaoyun's eyes shone brighter and the corner of his eyes showed a smile line.

Since the start of summer vacation, Xu Jiaoyun stayed at home for a few days because he was too lazy to go out and play. But before he could really start enjoying himself, who would have thought? An astonishing piece of news appeared on the internet. His parents, Grandpa Xu, were so angry that he finally fainted, leaving the family in a state of panic. Grandma was old and in poor health, unable to care for her husband. As many of their elders and brothers were busy trying to fix the matter, Xi Jiaoyun volunteered to take care of his elders.

She volunteered to take care of him, but what could she do as a pampered young woman? The Xu Family had already arranged for a nurse to take care of him, so he was there to share the conversation with the elder..

“You can say what you want later,” Mu Mingcheng looked across Xu Jiaoyun and into the ward, asking. “Where is Grandpa?”

“Grandfather just fell asleep.” As soon as Xu Jiaoyun's voice fell, a cough rang out in the ward. “I'm not sleeping. Let Mingcheng and Miss Gu come in and see me.”

Miss Gu?

Gu Jin lowered his eyelids and looked at the hand of Mu Mingcheng, who was tied on his shoulder. The curvature of his lips widened.

When the old man spoke, Xu Jiaoyun did not dare to close his ears. He let go, smiled at Gu Jin and said, “Don't worry brother-in-law, Grandpa loves cousins the most. He will not hurt you and will learn to love you in the future.”

Gu Jin smiled at her to show her gratitude.

The young lady from the Xu family had a kind and naive attitude towards Mu Mingcheng, but how many children in a prominent family like this were truly innocent and naive? Just that sentence alone was to remind Gu Jin that Master Xu was unable to control Mu Mingcheng and that was also tantamount to providing moral support to his heart.
