I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character

Chapter 84: The Unexpected Visitor (2)

The knock outside the door caught the attention of several people in the living room of the Gu family.

“Who is knocking so hard outside?” Gu Ling commented, seeing that something was not right. His eyes turned suspiciously to his cousin. “Is that someone little Jin knows?”

“Just because you live by the sea, doesn't mean you know how extensive*,” Gu Teng casually commented while patiently putting down his chopsticks. “Please remember this, or you can't eat!”

(**T/N: popular saying, designating someone as nosy)

Feeling startled, Gu Ling turned her head towards her grandmother with reddened eyes. Only then did Grandma Gu speak up, saying that no one blamed her. Sure enough, this family looked down on him because they had no blood relation.

She bit her lips, pretending to be strong. But when he looked around, he saw Li Mingxia smiling lightly.

It's embarrassing when a person's original color is revealed; it's not easy to change a person's image afterwards.

The old woman had raised an ungrateful white-eyed wolf while ignoring her own granddaughter.

Li Mingxia remembered when the elder once criticized him, saying that he was unfilial and evil for not allowing him to raise a child to dispel his boredom. He once threatened that if he could not adopt Gu Ling, he would bring Gu Teng or Gu Jin to be raised in the countryside.

Really joke!

Needless to say, the superior educational resources in the capital cannot be compared to those in the countryside. Li Mingxia and Gu Changsheng knew that sending their own child to the old woman was a foolish choice.

Li Mingxia put a piece of vegetables that were not too greasy in Gu Jin's bowl. For the umpteenth time, she felt grateful for not letting the old woman raise her children.

Better let the girl learn a lesson this time.

Seeing her grandson being scolded, Grandma Gu felt a little dissatisfied with Gu Teng. What bothered him the most were the words he had just said. Decades ago, she visited the city while showing the conduct of the countryside, and as a result, some rich princesses from the city laughed at her ignorance and lack of etiquette.

As this ominous memory emerged, Grandma Gu put down her chopsticks.

“Little Jin, today is your father's birthday, so people will come to celebrate,” Grandma Gu speaks slowly in a commanding tone: “Quick open the door and let guests in. Don't let people outside mock our homes, saying that our family members aren't taught manners.”

“Let him in,” Gu Changsheng also added. Not because his mother was pushy, but because the unrelenting ringing of the doorbell outside interfered with their eating.

Realizing that Gu Jin was not moving, Gu Lin stood up and quickly walked over to open the door. He looked at Gu Jin, as if saying 'this is how you do it.'

Gu Jin shrugged his shoulders and turned to the dining table.

Since the plot had reached this point, Gu Ling would soon be introduced to Shao Chong.

Then isn't the next step to creating conflict between the male protagonist and the supporting female?

Gu Jin could only sigh. Whatever the plot, there was no point in trying to prevent it.

If Gu Jin no longer dealt with Gu Ling, who knew how far the female protagonist Cheng Xin had progressed?
