I'm Done Playing the Lovesick Supporting Role - Chapter 308.2

The boy next to Qi Mu tried to stop Chen Ge but was shoved aside effortlessly. Both boys combined were no match for Chen Ge’s strength.

“Qi Mu, who the hell do you think you are? Just a bastard child living off my family’s money. I can do whatever I want. Medical bills, my ass…”

It became clear that the boy standing behind Chen Ge had some kind of special relationship with Qi Mu.

Qi Mu’s torment wasn’t random—it was deeply rooted in this relationship.

Qi Mu’s mother had been a bar hostess, the kind who slept with clients. On the night she was with Qi Mu’s father, she deliberately poked holes in a condom, hoping to conceive a child. That was how Qi Mu came to be.

After giving birth, she left with a lump sum of money, abandoning Qi Mu entirely.

Qi Mu’s father, a man who had married into his wife’s wealthy family, had little say in the household. He could only leave Qi Mu in the care of the maids, where he grew up stumbling through life.

From a young age, Qi Mu was acutely aware of his illegitimate status. He endured constant bullying and targeting from the household staff, his father’s indifference, and the psychological abuse from his father’s legal wife and children.

Among them, the youngest legitimate son was particularly cruel. The two boys, being the same age, attended school together, where Qi Mu was bullied relentlessly.

Later, when Qi Mu’s father gained some influence in the family, he occasionally remembered Qi Mu and sent him some money. But that was the extent of his care.

In time, Qi Mu’s father took on more mistresses, having even more illegitimate children, making Qi Mu’s existence seem increasingly redundant.

Qi Mu tightly pursed his lips, refusing to speak.

He knew this group would leave after they had insulted him enough. They never actually cared about the little money he had. Their goal was only to humiliate him.

When Gu Jingyu arrived on the scene, the bullying was already winding down.

Chen Ge noticed Gu Jingyu first. Annoyed, he spat on the ground and muttered, “Su Shao, that nosy professor is here again. Let’s go for now and deal with him later.”

Su Shao turned to glance at Gu Jingyu. His face showed no emotion as he led the group away in an imposing manner.

Gu Jingyu watched silently as they left. His gaze then returned to Qi Mu, who was still lying on the ground, clutching his money with a trembling hand.

🎭 Behind the Curtain with Kliraz

Family hierarchies in Chinese culture often bring hidden pressures especially for those seen as “lesser”. Build resilience by setting boundaries calmly “I respect your view but this is my decision,” gives clarity.

Imagine being blamed unfairly at school say, “Can we talk about what really happened?” For workplace bias approach, privately “I noticed this decision felt uneven. Can we discuss options?” Thoughtful words can shift dynamics empowering yourself and others to break cycles! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
