Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

Meng Wanyu packed her schoolbag and handed it to the bodyguard by the window.

She was prepared to be the third person to leave the classroom.

"Teacher Lu, since you're not planning to meet me today, I'll be going now. Remember to miss me!"

Lu Chengzhou came in last place today.

He suddenly felt that he should follow the female lead and see what she was up to.

Logically speaking, given Su Qiaoman's current financial difficulties, she should continue working at the coffee shop.

Lin Chen was a regular at that coffee shop, so even if she was pretending, she should have at least put on an act with him. Why would she so directly reject Lin Chen's advances?

"unless……"

"She has a new simp."

"Ugh, this is a hassle."

Thinking of this, Lu Chengzhou rubbed his temples.

Su Qiaoman has gained a new admirer, which is not a big problem. The real concern is that she doesn't just see him as an admirer, but as a substitute for Lin Chen.

That would be a serious problem.

Lu Chengzhou had considered what would happen if he let the two of them break up and each develop a new romantic relationship.

But he had no room to try.

The consequences of the plot falling apart are something he cannot afford.

He could only stick to his original plan and continue to try to bring the two of them together, striving for a harmonious ending.

This is the most reliable approach.

He walked to the entrance of the coffee shop and looked inside through the window.

Sure enough, a clue appeared.

Su Qiaoman was playing cards with a fat, big-eared man.

A small mountain of cash had already piled up in front of her...

144. Why make things difficult for other cannon fodder?

“I won again, Mr. Zhuang.”

Su Qiaoman moved the stack of cash in front of him to her own.

Mr. Zhuang, the man she was currently playing with, had a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, displaying a doting smile.

"Well done, Miss Su."

He clapped his hands.

He gestured for the person behind him to bring the money over again.

Su Qiaoman shuffled the cards slowly with a fawning smile on her face.

"Mr. Zhuang, are you going to continue playing today?"

"Of course I'll play! Miss Su is willing to play with me, so of course I'll play to the very end."

Lin Chen, sitting not far away, gripped his coffee cup so tightly that it made a "crunching" sound.

He looked at Su Qiaoman, his face growing increasingly gloomy.

Mr. Zhuang was a gentleman and did not lay a hand on Su Qiaoman. However, his tone was strange. Even though he did not say anything vulgar, it sounded like he was being a scoundrel to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen realized he was being a bit paranoid.

He became increasingly concerned about Su Qiaoman, to the point that his mouth went dry and his heart was burning with anxiety.

suddenly!

He saw Mr. Zhuang's little finger touch Su Qiaoman's little finger, and immediately slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

His loud noise caused everyone in the store to stop what they were doing.

Lu Chengzhou stood outside and could see it clearly.

Mr. Zhuang, you may be a bit ugly, but your character is definitely reliable.

He just accidentally bumped into Su Qiaoman when he went to get the cards.

Heaven and earth conscience.

They really didn't mean to take advantage of us.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen was blinded by jealousy and couldn't think of this at all.

He gritted his teeth and glared at Mr. Zhuang: "Damn it, that's mine..."

Mr. Zhuang's face darkened: "Kid, watch your mouth."

Mr. Zhuang naturally travels with bodyguards when he goes out.

Lin Chen almost never goes out with bodyguards.

His combat skills are stronger than those of ordinary bodyguards, which is the source of his confidence.

Lin Chen hated it when people spoke to him in a threatening tone, and he had the urge to take action at that moment.

At that moment, Lu Chengzhou grabbed his shoulder.

"Brother, don't be impulsive."

Lin Chen hadn't taken Lu Chengzhou's obstruction seriously.

He still recklessly tried to move forward, but...

He walked for ages, but he was still in the same place.

Lu Chengzhou grabbed him with an easy expression, but to Lin Chen, it felt like he was being held down by a malfunctioning mechanical hand.

If you forcibly twist your body, you may even hear the cracking sound of bones colliding.

Lin Chen dared not move again.

He turned around and looked at Lu Chengzhou with a complicated expression.

The scene was very embarrassing.

This guy looks so weak, how come he's so strong!

Is he not human?

Lu Chengzhou then added, "That's not how you pursue women."

Lin Chen took a deep breath: "But, he..."

Seeing that he was no longer so impulsive, Lu Chengzhou loosened his grip on his shoulder slightly and patted the dust off his shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, let's go over there and share a table with them."

……

Lin Chen was led by Lu Chengzhou to sit at the table with Su Qiaoman and the others.

At this point, Mr. Zhuang stopped paying attention to Lin Chen.

In his eyes, Lin Chen was already a good-for-nothing brute.

He meets at least a trainload of people like that every year.

His gaze was more focused on Lu Chengzhou.

He even poured Lu Chengzhou a cup of tea himself.

Lin Chen was taken aback when he saw this.

This Mr. Zhuang seems to be from high society, doesn't he?

He actually poured tea for Lu Chengzhou, such an ordinary high school student!

They haven't even spoken a word to each other yet.

Lu Chengzhou politely replied with a "thank you".

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "My name is Zhuang Ming. I am a few years older than you. You can call me Brother Yiming, or you can call me Mr. Zhuang like they do."

Lu Chengzhou nodded and still politely addressed him as "Mr. Zhuang".

At that moment, he remembered that this Mr. Zhuang in front of him had only one scene in the original work.

The main power of the dealers was in Jingzhou.

However, their financial resources are completely incomparable to those of the Meng family.

The only line spoken by Mr. Zhuang in the original novel was to congratulate the head of the Meng family, Meng Wanyu's father, on his birthday, wishing him boundless happiness and longevity...

Yes, just that one sentence.

You could say he was pure cannon fodder.

Unexpectedly, this cannon fodder character from the original work appeared ahead of schedule and even struck up a conversation with the female lead.

Lu Chengzhou couldn't help but sigh, "Fate is truly unpredictable."

Mr. Zhuang was naturally unaware of his fate as cannon fodder.

In his view, he was a rich second-generation heir, and he had the right to speak in Jingzhou, let alone in Yicheng.

It's fair to say that he doesn't even need to consider the richest man in Yicheng as a threat.

He spoke to Lin Chen and Lu Chengzhou with a sense of bestowing a favor upon them.

Even if his smugness wasn't very obvious, people could still sense his superiority.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen didn't buy it.

Lu Chengzhou was even more unfathomable, with only an unchanging smile on his face.

Mr. Zhuang's sense of superiority was thus diminished.

He decided to do something and stand up for himself.
