I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character

Chapter 45: Chirp (1)

The disease can come on quickly and cataclysmically like a landslide on a mountain, but recovery takes a long time. This expression was not superfluous for the Xu family.

To the Xu family, the elders lying on the bed symbolized their family mountain.

Xu Baishan lived in the war era, and he had made great achievements on the battlefield. Other elders of the same generation are now buried beneath the earth, and their contributions in their lives play a crucial role in building the country of Z.

People throughout Z country had to show respect when meeting directly with the Xu family.

Until the age of 71, Xu Baishan enjoyed good health and his family was very attentive to his care.

However, the effects of aging can still be seen. The weather in June will change from a cold morning to an unquenchable heat throughout the day. When Mr. Xu woke up early in the morning, he caught a cold and then developed a high fever late into the night.

When the fever struck, he did not stop talking about his favorite grandson, Mu Mingcheng.

Xu Chenghui, his grandson, immediately called Mu Mingcheng to come over.

As Mu Mingcheng entered the room, his gaze swept over the crowd gathered around the bed and discovered there were about ten people.

The atmosphere was quite heavy and he frowned slightly.

Madam Xu immediately stood up and offered her a seat. “Mingcheng, your grandfather is waiting for you.”

Xu Baishan opened his eyes and angrily scolded, “You rotten brat, you are like your parents. Didn't you call me anymore just because I'm old?”

Mu Mingcheng helped Madam Xu back to her seat as she replied with a laugh, “Grandfather, you said that you have not hugged a great-grandson yet. How can I get old?”

“That's because you guys haven't married yet. How can I have a great-grandchild?”

Xu Baishan had two sons, and the two sons gave birth to several grandchildren. However, the eldest grandson, Xu Chenghui, was unmarried.

Currently, the Xu family did not have a fourth generation.

Xu Baishan was new in his heart that his current illness was quite serious, but it did not matter. He could live well for at least another twenty years, so there would be no problem in raising a good successor.

The premise is that a grandchild in his family needs to get married and have children.

Although Mu Mingcheng was not surnamed Xu, unfortunately his family did not have any elders for the Mu family. So Master Xu thought it would be appropriate to take on the responsibility of taking care of this grandson of his.

Xu Chenghui earnestly looked at his grandfather and said with determination, “Grandfather, me and my brother are planning to start a business before focusing on raising a family. Mingcheng was already a success in his career but there was no woman beside him. You might as well push it.”

“Don't worry about that, Grandpa, I already have a lover,” Mu Mincheng said with a slight smile as he dropped this unexpected bomb onto his family.

“Sepupu have a lover? Since when?” Some members of the Xu family exclaimed in shock.

In the past, none of them dared to talk to Mu Mingcheng, as he occasionally leaked a murderous aura that made them retreat in fear. But these past two years, ever since this man retired from the military and went into business, he seemed much calmer and they finally dared to approach him.

“Ekhm, just.” Mu Mingcheng looked a little embarrassed.

Xu Chenghui could only shiver as he looked at his cousin in surprise. 'Is this gentle love-stricken man the same Mu Mingcheng I know?'

Meanwhile, Xu Baishan who was planning to vent his anger regardless of the reason for this granddaughter, this time was completely shocked.

“That's good news! When are you going to bring him here and give me a healthy little bit of a great-grandson for me to play with?”

Mu Mingcheng: …. Do I have to have children so you can play?

However, when she thought of having a fat and tender child with Gu Jin—

Mu Mingcheng could not help but shiver.

He quickly replied, “We are not in a hurry, it's just a trial relationship. If we don't match each other, we'll just split up.”
