I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character

Chapter 144

“I heard from some people that the woman who was with him was the cousin of your future wife?” Xu Baishan pondered for a moment. “How do they relate to each other?”

“He was just an orphan adopted by the old lady of the Gu family. It has nothing to do with little Jin.” Mu Mingcheng emphasized, “In relation to how they were involved in the controversy together, I guess the eldest cousin himself knows best.”

“You are telling the truth,” Xu Baishan did not receive the water offered to him. With a sharp gaze, he asked, “Are you involved in this matter?” His people discovered that Mu Mingcheng and Gu Jin were also at the mall that day. Xu Baishan would never believe it if he said that it was just a coincidence.

“Does Grandpa doubt me?” Mu Mingcheng held his hand and slowly opened his mouth to answer Master Xu's curious eyes. “If I have to say, yes there is my involvement?”

“You..” Xu Baishan opened his eyes wide and straightened his body. He grabbed Mu Mingcheng's cup and threw it at him, scolding him. “Backed!”

Water splashed all over Mu Mingcheng's face and clothes. The cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Xu Baishan's gloomy eyes flared up and he looked at Mu Mingcheng intently. Finally he was angry enough that he turned his face away.

“Grandfather's anger was justified well, and I accepted it,” Mu Mingcheng remained expressionless. “I'm a bastard, but what about Xu Chenghui? He didn't even take into account our relationship when he attacked me.”

“The Xu family had so many eyes and ears that there was nothing they could not find if they wanted to investigate. You should know who ordered my murder in country Y. Otherwise, why would I do that to the Jing family? I'm sure I can't hide it from you.” Seeing Master Xu's eyes gradually change from angry to shocked and then to sad, Mu Mingcheng continued jokingly, “But my grandfather, who claimed to love me the most, said Mu Mingcheng, you didn't say anything in silence.”

“Same as four years ago, when I was on a mission and almost died because of 'his mistake'.”

“You try to make a profit, only to end up worse. Those who bear the surname Xu, whom I consider to be your own descendants, they do make you proud.” Mu Mingcheng's eyes smiled coldly, while acting as respectful as ever.

“Good, good, good,” Xu Baishan said three 'good' in a row, and the newly calm blood flowed again. He took a few deep breaths, and Mu Mingcheng straightened his back.

A few minutes later, after countless storms, the veteran sat upright on their bed. “You knew it all along. No wonder you're suddenly retired. Aren't you going to make peace? After spending many years in the army, collecting many good deeds, but having to leave everything?”

“No,” Mu Mingcheng said lightly. “I went to the army because of Grandpa. After that you don't want me to grow up in the army, so it's okay for me to retire.” Moreover, whether he was plunged into business or politics, it would not deter him from getting what he wanted. In addition, some things are more comfortable to do after retirement.

Xu Baishan was initially surprised. But after remembering something, he laughed in relief. Shaking his head regretfully, he said, “Unfortunately, your last name is not Xu, whereas those who bear the surname Xu cannot afford.”

As he said that, he suddenly blinked, his voice confused. “You've been pretending for years, but suddenly got into a fight with me, is it because of that girl surnamed Gu?”

“No.” Mu Mingcheng gently bent the corner of his lips.

“Then I object you two to be a couple,” Xu Baishan laughed. “The woman's cousin is the man's cousin's lover. It is seen that their upbringing is not good and despicable!”

Mu Mingcheng looked at Master Xu calmly, his tone light. “Grandfather, you're old.”
