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

"Su Qiaoman, don't blame me for being ruthless. Our dealings, especially financial ones, need to be settled clearly so we don't give anyone a handle to use against us, right?"

Hearing such high-sounding words, Su Qiaoman was furious.

What does it mean to give someone leverage over you?

Who would have anything to say about her?

Could it be...?

Su Qiaoman immediately realized that the "person" A Zhou was referring to was Lin Chen.

My heart skipped a beat.

"A-Zhou, don't say that. Lin Chen and I aren't together yet."

The implication is that since she and Lin Chen are not in a romantic relationship, whatever she does is none of Lin Chen's business.

Could Lin Chen possibly care about something as trivial as who she borrows money from?

The heroine's pride was stirred up by Lu Chengzhou's few words.

Lu Chengzhou continued, "Isn't that just a matter of time? You told me yourself that you like Lin Chen."

Su Qiaoman said nervously, "But we're not in that kind of relationship yet."

"Don't you like Lin Chen anymore?"

"I……"

"Since you still like Lin Chen, then we need to keep our distance. I don't want you to let Lin Chen down. After all, Lin Chen is my brother, and I don't want our childhood friendship to affect your relationship with Lin Chen!"

Lu Chengzhou's seemingly honest and kind words were riddled with deadly traps.

Su Qiaoman remained silent for a long time.

“A-Zhou, I…”

"Su Qiaoman, I wish you happiness."

Lu Chengzhou offered this simple blessing in a very affectionate tone.

"As long as you are happy, I am content."

"Even if I never appear by your side again, I will be content."

"You two absolutely have to stick together... no, I mean, you have to get married as soon as possible."

After all, only when the male and female leads are happy can the male and female supporting characters avoid suffering!

Lu Chengzhou just wanted to lock the two of them up as soon as possible.

Completely unaware that his heartfelt expression was interpreted by Su Qiaoman with a different meaning.

Su Qiaoman broke down!

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She suddenly realized that Lu Chengzhou's existence was truly important to her.

At the very least, she cannot sever her relationship with Lu Chengzhou completely because of Lin Chen.

After all, they had spent far more time together than he had with Lin Chen.

But what kind of brilliant future could she have by following Lu Chengzhou?

Lu Chengzhou was poor, just like her, and couldn't give her the life she wanted.

She would never give up Lin Chen just because of Lu Chengzhou.

My mind was racing with thoughts.

Su Qiaoman's headache flared up again.

She gave a perfunctory reply and hung up the phone.

Lu Chengzhou transferred the money to her as promised.

"For a mere five hundred yuan, it's definitely worth it to get such a recording as evidence."

He carefully preserved the recording.

Only then did he lie down contentedly.

"I hope the female lead can be inspired by me and turn over a new leaf as soon as possible, hmm!"

……

at that time.

Lin.

Lin Chen, also lying in bed, was filled with images of Su Qiaoman.

However, Su Qiaoman never contacted him.

His prestigious status as a wealthy second-generation heir also made him unwilling to lower himself to contact Su Qiaoman.

My birthday party is coming up soon.

He has already sent someone to invite Su Qiaoman, but he doesn't know if she will actually come.

After much deliberation and struggle, I finally understood.

Lin Chen followed his heart's desire, sat up, and called Su Qiaoman.

The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.

Su Qiaoman on the other end of the phone seemed very tired, and her voice was languid.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Lin Chen asked with concern.

"No, I'm just a little sleepy."

Su Qiaoman, however, was not sleepy at all.

She was looking through her childhood photo album.

There are many photos of her and Lu Chengzhou together.

From kindergarten to elementary school graduation.

There are countless photos of the two of them together.

The more Su Qiaoman looked at these photos, the more conflicted she became.

The more he answered Lin Chen's questions, the more perfunctory his responses became.

Lin Chen was quite annoyed: "Don't you want to talk to me?"

Su Qiaoman sighed: "No."

Her fingers were tracing Lu Chengzhou's face in the photograph.

"Lin Chen, I'm tired. I want to go to sleep now. Can I call you another day?"

As he spoke, he coughed lightly twice, pretending to be sick.

"Are you coming to my birthday party?"

"Come on, I'll be right on time."

Lin Chen said "Oh," told her to get some rest, and then hung up the phone.

A few seconds later, he received a message from his father.

The meaning above is very simple.

"If you can convince Miss Meng to attend your birthday party, I will return your bank card and your motorcycle to you."

Meng Wanyu has already declined their family's invitation to the banquet.

This is a done deal.

Dad hasn't given up yet?

Lin Chen scratched his head helplessly.

To be honest, he really didn't want to deal with Meng Wanyu.

However, for the sake of his bank card and motorcycle, he decided to bite the bullet and talk to Meng Wanyu.

"I have to be humble and try to please her, hmm..."

Lin Chen tried hard to convince himself and forced a smile.

With a nervous heart, I opened Meng Wanyu's chat window.

027. Teacher Lu just needs to be more obedient.

Meng Wanyu was bored.

I was stunned for a moment when I suddenly saw the message from Lin Chen.

What does he want to do?

Meng Wanyu smoothed her bangs and pondered for a moment.

I casually replied with a "?" symbol.

Lin Chen: "I'll get straight to the point, what will it take for you to come to my birthday party?"

Meng Wanyu: "Even if you kneel down and kowtow to me, I still won't go."

Lin Chen: "You!"

This answer instantly ignited Lin Chen's anger.

Even if you included all of the Lin family's assets, let alone just bank cards and motorcycles, he still wouldn't kowtow to Meng Wanyu.

This is a damn issue of male dignity.

He wanted to hurl insults at that moment, but considering the other party's power and background, he forced himself to hold back.

People may be disrespectful to him, but he still has to be respectful.

I'm so frustrated!
