I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 81: Gu Ling's Jealousy
“Little Teng, I am also your brother,” Gu Ling said with a forced smile. “How could I not be an heir in the family?”
“Sorry,” Gu Teng replied with a light laugh. He carelessly combed the curly hair on his forehead that was covered in sweat and did not bother looking at Gu Ling. “Only one sister in my permanent residence book is listed. That's the woman.” He raised his chin to point towards Gu Jin.
To Gu Teng, Gu Ling was simply a disgusting insect. Not only did they not have any blood relations, they were also far from acquaintances, so he did not feel the need to be polite to her. If only Grandma Gu did not insist on raising her, but their grandmother's thoughts grew chaotic as she got older. Therefore, Father Gu had no choice but to obey his mother's wishes and take care of the orphan. If not for Gu Ling's support, Gu Teng would have already slapped him for provoking Gu Jin several times. How could he tolerate it if he continued?
However, it was nice to see Gu Jin, who used to cry from Gu Ling's shameless words, now knew how to fight back. Gu Teng had always regarded his own brother as a pure white rabbit so his current changes made him happy.
“It's hot, but you're out to play basketball? See how much sweat you have.” Gu Jin threw his bag onto the sofa and lowered the temperature of the AC. He poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Gu Teng. “Do not catch a cold, this drink water.”
“You nag like an old woman,” Gu Teng excitedly reached out to grab a cup of water, but his mouth frowned: “You are obnoxious to death.”
The brothers spoke heartlessly with each other, but there was a hint of warmth behind their words. Meanwhile, they completely ignored the third person in the room.
Gu Ling stood in his corner while looking at the scene in front of him. He silently clenched his fists.
Any more? Isn't he also someone with the surname Gu? Why would they treat him as an outsider?
His heart was burdened with thousands of grievances, but since Gu Teng was present, he did not dare to voice it out.
Gu Ling knew clearly that his only patron was his grandmother. Grandma Gu preferred her over Gu Jin, but if she were to choose between Gu Ling and Gu Teng's only male heir, it was clear who the grandmother would choose.
He bit his lips silently and looked at Gu Jin with hatred.
‘Someday, everything you have will be mine.’ He's sure of it.
Gu Ling's eyes twinkled.
Grandma Gu came out of her room and happened to see Gu Ling staring enviously at Gu Jin and Gu Teng, who were having fun on the sofa.
Grandma Gu was over sixty years old, had a medium-sized body, had a few wrinkles on her face, and half of her hair was bleached on her head.
Although the old woman lived in the countryside all year round, Gu Changsheng and Li Mingxia were not unfilial to her. Every month, they would send a large amount of money to his bank card on time. Other than worrying about her adopted granddaughter, her life couldn't be better.
No, even his steps were full of energy.
Little Jin returned to visit, Grandma Gu calmly walked to Gu Ling's side and stopped. He raised his voice and said, “I thought I would never see you until this old woman entered the coffin.”
He took Gu Ling's hand and sat on the sofa, a gesture similar to a mother hen protecting her chicks. He was afraid that Gu Jin and his mother would bully this orphaned little boy of his.
Seemingly unfamiliar with the cushioned sofa, Grandma Gu twisted her waist to adjust her posture to make herself seem more intimidating.
“Grandma, you may have misunderstood me,” Gu Jin pulled back Gu Teng, who wanted to speak on his behalf. He took out a gold bracelet from his wallet and handed it to the elder with a smile, “Although it is a bit late, I prepared a gift for grandma.”
After speaking, he handed the bracelet over.
Grandma Gu did not say a word when she saw the jewelry. Gu Ling saw the elder's eyes blushing as he carefully picked up the gift.
