I Refuse to be a Supporting Character Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Unexpected Visitor (2)

The knock outside the door attracted the attention of several people in the Gu family’s living room .

“Who the hell is knocking so loud outside?” Gu Ling commented, seeing that something didn’t seem right . Her eyes shifted suspiciously to her cousin . “Is it someone Little Jin knows of?”

“Just because you live by the sea doesn’t mean you know how wide it is,” ** Gu Teng casually commented as he patiently put down his chopsticks . “Please remember this, or you don’t get to eat!”

(**T/N: popular saying, pointing out someone as being nosy)

Feeling shocked, Gu Ling turned to her grandma with reddened eyes . Only then did Grandma Gu speak, saying that no one was blaming her . Sure enough, this family looked down on her since they weren’t related by blood .

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

It’s embarrassing when one’s true colors is exposed; it isn’t easy to change one’s image afterwards .

The old lady had raised an ungrateful white-eyed wolf while neglecting her own biological grandchildren .

Li Mingxia recalled when the elder once criticized her, saying that she was unfilial and sinister for not letting her raise a child to relieve her boredom . She once threatened that if she couldn’t adopt Gu Ling, she would take Gu Teng or Gu Jin to raise in the countryside .

What a joke!

Needless to say, the superior educational resources of the capital can’t compare with those in the countryside . Li Mingxia Gu and Gu Changsheng knew that sending their own children to the old lady would be a foolish choice .

Li Mingxia placed a somewhat less oily piece of vegetable in Gu Jin’s bowl . For the thousandth time, she felt grateful for not letting the old woman raise her children .

Upon seeing this scene, Gu Changsheng slightly knitted a brow, but didn’t say a word . He had celebrated many birthdays and had experienced these dozens of times . He didn’t need another birthday where his children have to be scolded for Gu Ling’s sake .

It’s better to let that girl learn a lesson this time around .

Seeing that her granddaughter was being scolded, Grandma Gu felt a little dissatisfied with Gu Gu Teng . What bothered her most were the words he just spoke . A few decades ago, she visited the city while displaying mannerisms from the countryside, and as a result, a couple of rich daughters from the city laughed at her ignorance and lack of etiquette .

As these unpleasant memories surfaced, Grandma Gu put down her chopsticks .

“Little Jin, today is your father’s birthday, so people will be coming to celebrate . ” Grandma Gu spoke slowly with a commanding tone: “Quickly open the door and let the visitor in . Don’t allow people outside to mock our home, saying our family member’s weren’t taught manners . ”

“Let him come in,” Gu Changsheng also added in . Not because his mother insisted, but rather, because the ceaseless ringing of the doorbell outside was disturbing their meal .

Noticing that Gu Jin didn’t move, Gu Lin stood up and quickly walked over to open the door . She looked down at Gu Jin, as if to say ‘this is how you do it . ’

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

Since plot has reached this point, Gu Ling will soon be introduced to Shao Chong .

Then isn’t the next step to create conflict between the supporting male and female protagonists?

Gu Jin can only sigh . Whatever the plot brings, there’s no point in trying to prevent it .

If Gu Jin no longer deals with Gu Ling, who knows how far the female protagonist Cheng Xin can progress?
