I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 28: The Debt That Must Be Paid
When he returned home to his family that night, Gu Jin confessed to his mother, Li Mingxia about the disappearance of his jade bracelet.
Li Mingxia understood the situation and did not blame him. Instead, he reprimanded Gu Jin for not informing the family as soon as it happened.
Although her mother's legacy is lost, her daughter's safety is more important.
Ensuring the well-being of her child is what makes this mother's mind calm.
However, to the current Gu Jin, Li Mingxia's comforting words made him feel even more guilty.
Knowing that she had taken over the body of her original daughter while also losing the Gu family heirloom gave her a heavy heart.
Despite carrying these sins, the now Gu Jin returned to this house.
Even before he could pay the previous host to receive this physical body, he had lost his heirloom and had become an even greater sinner. Gu Jin was angry at himself, but he did not lose his mind.
Gu Jin said with a fake smile: “Master Mu the bracelet looks familiar, where did it come from?”
Mu Mingcheng glanced at him, his entire body conveying a sense of solitude. He did not answer Gu Jin's question and lazily called, “Nona Gu Jin?”
He investigated!
But with his wealth, it was not impossible for him to know his name.
Gu Jin's eyes flashed cunningly as he said with a smile, “Master Mu, who would have thought that one day there would be a place where you would remember the name of a mere etiquette woman.” He played his identity card hanging around his neck.
Mu Mingcheng's eyes flashed dangerously and his lips lifted into a smile. He said meaningfully, “Nona Gu is quite nimble, how can I easily forget you?”
This rubbish!
Gu Jin mentally berated him but did not let him appear on the surface. He said politely, “Master Mu, it doesn't matter. I have a jade bracelet that looks like yours. I wonder if I can borrow it?”
Of course, knowing his true nature, Gu Jin did not expect him to agree, and the two of them knew about it.
“You can.”
Unexpectedly, Mu Mingcheng instantly agreed. He straightened his body and stretched out his palm to open the bracelet.
Gu Jin hesitated for a moment as he waited for her to hand it to him. However, unable to withstand the psychological pressure any longer, he would rather offend this pervert by snatching the jewelry from his hands.
But the moment he touched the jewelry, Mu Mingcheng withdrew his hand and quickly carried it to Gu Jin's waist. He clamped his arm in his other hand, buried his head in his neck and whispered in a low voice: “Did Miss Gu forget what she had done?”
His voice became softer, as if he was talking to a lover. Mu Mingcheng whispered in his ear, “I'm a vengeful man. The mark left by Miss Gu's high heels on that day was not light.”
“Don't forget Mr. Mu, you attacked me first.” Gu Jin said coldly.
He could feel the heat of his body through his thin shirt.
Gu Jin struggled in his arms. After she wiped off her makeup, her face looked brighter and softer; the red hue on her cheeks was clearer and her eyes were slightly teary.
It's insane!
Gu Jin lifted his leg then stepped on it quickly.
This time, he didn't make it.
Do you think I'll fall for the same trick twice? Mu Mingcheng expected his retaliation and quickly dodged the attack.
He pinned Gu Jin to the wall and clamped his legs with his knees so that he could not move.
Unlike Gu Jin's anger, Mu Mingcheng inhaled the sweet scent of this long-lost girl.
He was happy to see the cat with its paws out.
Gu Jin turned his head in disdain and looked away.
Suddenly, a wave of pain overpowered his lower abdomen and his legs trembled from weakness.
This sharp pain struck Gu Jin like thunder, causing his strength to shrink.
Damnit damnit!
His relatives come to visit!
