The Vicious Male Supporting Character Only Wants to Focus on His Career - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Something’s Wrong With You!

Zhong Shengwan really didn’t expect to see Chu Jinchen again so soon. He felt quite wronged: “I’m not here looking for you.”

Chu Jinchen’s face was somewhat pale. Stomach pain was an old ailment of his; when it flared up, the discomfort was lethal. This made his mood even worse, and he said devoid of emotion: “It better not be.”

He found a place to sit nearby, far away from Zhong Shengwan, and said to Jiang Yu: “Thanks for the hard work, you should sit too.” He thought to himself that Zhong Shengwan would surely find an opportunity to come over in a bit. When that happened, he would simply ignore him.

Chu Jinchen had originally thought Zhong Shengwan was just an unlearned, playboy second-generation, but seeing how Jiang Yu was bullied made him realize this youth was rotten to the core.

Therefore, even though the two families had a long-standing friendship, and Zhong Shengwan’s family background was a sufficient match for his own—not to mention the boy’s obsession with him—he was unwilling to have any further development with the other party.

Jiang Yu obediently sat down next to Chu Jinchen.

Intentional or not, he scanned Zhong Shengwan a few times. When the other party looked back at him, he straightened his back significantly, thinking in his heart: Even if you trip me up, I can still live very well!

Zhong Shengwan unceremoniously tilted his chin up. He played the role of the arrogant young master perfectly, and as expected, he saw Jiang Yu’s face turn ugly.

Knowing when to stop, he turned his face away to look at the scenery outside the window.

Soon, a doctor came over to take Chu Jinchen’s pulse and prescribe medicine. The whole process was very fast; judging by the familiarity of the consultation, they were well-acquainted.

Zhong Shengwan propped up his chin to watch the show.

He remembered now. As the Protagonist Gong of the book, Chu Jinchen was equipped with the Stomach Gastritis Gift Package that basically every overbearing CEO possessed.

Jiang Yu and Chu Jinchen had a vast disparity in social status. Being able to get involved or even have romantic entanglements was largely due to Jiang Yu’s constant care and concern by Chu Jinchen’s side.

After watching for a while, he felt it was boring and started playing with his phone.

He wasn’t just playing aimlessly; he ordered several cookbooks online. In his past life, before he entered the entertainment industry, he had worked in a hotel kitchen. His cooking skills were quite proficient, and he planned to follow the recipes to make a few stomach-nourishing dishes for his brother later.

Although, given this identity, Father Zhong and Big Brother Zhong certainly wouldn’t mistreat him, Zhong Shengwan always felt that to receive something, one must first give.

This applied to money, career, and emotions as well.

Out of the blue, his childhood friend Jin Yundong sent a message: “Zhongzhong, what are you doing?”

The two of them had taken the Gaokao in June this year. They performed at their normal levels and had already applied for schools. They didn’t reach the level of top-tier universities, but thanks to the school’s faculty and their home tutors, their scores were high enough for key universities.

Zhong Shengwan: “Hospital”

Jin Yundong: “…” “Can we please not go running after Chu Jinchen?” “The yacht is heading out to sea, hurry up!” He just got lectured yesterday, why did he follow him again today?

Jin’s family had a collaboration with the Chu family. A meeting was postponed today, and the news from that side said Chu Jinchen had gone to the hospital.

Being so cared for by a friend made Zhong Shengwan quite happy, so he explained patiently: “My brother is sick, stomach pain. I’m here to get medicine for him (Just keep it between us, don’t tell anyone, I’m afraid my dad will worry.)”

Jin Yundong: “Really?”

Zhong Shengwan took the medicine pickup slip from his pocket, took a photo, and sent it to Jin Yundong: “See—I’d be a puppy if I lied to you.”

The two chatted back and forth, and time passed quickly.

On the other side, Chu Jinchen’s stomach was burning like fire, making it hard to sit still.

His gaze, intentional or not, kept drifting toward Zhong Shengwan. Zhong Shengwan’s skin was very white, and his features were extremely bright and grand; any expression was very obvious.

For example, right now, he was staring at his phone doing who-knows-what, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, looking like he was in a very good mood.

Chu Jinchen: Is he gloating because I’m sick? Sure enough, his previous chasing and claims of liking me were just like a child fighting over a toy—not very sincere.

He felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.

Somehow, he remembered a time he had a stomachache and ran into Zhong Shengwan.

The young master, who had never taken care of anyone, frantically looked for medicine, poured water, and called a doctor for a consultation. In the heat of midsummer, a layer of sweat had formed on his forehead.

That time must have been an act.

Zhong Shengwan finished setting a time to go out to sea with Jin Yundong. When he looked up, he saw Chu Jinchen staring at him with an expression… how to put it, it wasn’t like he owed the man billions of dollars, right?

Something’s wrong with you!

Soon, someone brought medicine to Chu Jinchen—Western medicine that could quickly alleviate stomach discomfort.

Jiang Yu unscrewed the cap of a mineral water bottle, handed the water to Chu Jinchen, then took out the tablets, placed them on a tissue, and handed those over too: “Brother Chu, drink slowly, don’t choke. You’ll feel better soon after taking the medicine. Is it cold? Should I go ask the nurse for a blanket to cover you up?”

He was patient and gentle, even more attentive than the care he provided during Chu Jinchen’s stomachache last night. His peripheral vision was constantly focused on Zhong Shengwan.

He thought to himself: Zhong Shengwan won’t be able to hold it in, right? It’s better if he can’t. Then Brother Chu can see exactly how arrogant and domineering he is, so he won’t be misled by that face.

Zhong Shengwan was very good at catching the camera and was very sensitive to others’ gazes. Seeing Jiang Yu’s performance, he really wanted to laugh.

However, he didn’t want to get involved with these two again, so he just treated it as watching a play.

A long while later, Zhong Shengwan got the medicine.

Dozens of bags of brewed Chinese medicine were heavy in his hand. Drinking it would probably be a heavy burden too. He suddenly felt like he should visit a candy shop later to buy some sweets for his big brother.

He also asked the doctor how to take the medicine and what the taboos were. Fearing he wouldn’t remember clearly, he noted them down one by one in his phone’s memo app.

Busy as he was, he completely forgot about Chu Jinchen and Jiang Yu. Anyway, they weren’t important people.

In the well-funded private hospital, the environment was excellent, quiet, and peaceful.

Zhong Shengwan walked out slowly. Hearing quick footsteps behind him as if someone were running, he moved to the side. Looking back, he was quite speechless.

The one running over was Jiang Yu. Seeing that Zhong Shengwan clearly saw him but kept walking, this baseless contempt was infuriating. He shouted angrily: “Stop right there!”

Zhong Shengwan stopped. It wasn’t because he was being obedient, but because Jiang Yu was blocking the path.

Jiang Yu panted: “I told you to stop!”

The corners of Zhong Shengwan’s eyes slanted upward slightly—it was a curve that wasn’t very soft, though admittedly, it was truly beautiful. His sharp eyes looked at the other party: “Did I eat a single grain of your family’s rice? You say stop and I stop?”

Jiang Yu hated Zhong Shengwan’s arrogant look of fearing nothing in heaven or on earth. On what grounds? Did having money mean he could do whatever he wanted? Did it mean he could look down on him?

Even though Zhong Shengwan had never actually said anything about looking down on people, he just knew it!

Having prepared his words to strike the other party down, he said: “Brother Chu had stomach pain at past midnight last night, and I was the one who took care of him. He felt a bit better after taking medicine, but I wasn’t at ease, so I stayed up to watch over him the entire night.”

The last four words landed heavily, like a form of revenge that had gathered great force.
