I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character

Chapter 58: Do You Remember?

“Do you remember me?”

Cheng Xin looked at the tall and handsome man before her. Although his clothes and temperament had changed dramatically, he could still recognize him at a glance as the man who had once saved him.

She looked at him expectantly, hoping he would reply that he also remembered her from the past.

Mu Mingcheng glanced at his girlfriend who was holding a glass of red wine. She appeared graceful, quiet, and intelligent as usual. Gu Jin didn't seem surprised that the newcomer asked him this question; in fact, he even found the drama a little funny.

The glint in his eyes betrayed his calm demeanor; he was clearly excited to see how this conversation would flow.

Mu Mingcheng lifted his golden glasses over the base of his nose and smiled apologetically: “Sorry miss, but I have never seen you before.”

“How is it possible?” Cheng Xin's smile along with her hopes shattered in an instant. He stared blankly at the man and quickly reminded him: “You saved a young girl in a bar five years ago!”

“Sorry, but you must have mistaken me for someone else,” Mu Mingcheng explained in a helpless tone. He stared back at Cheng Xin's hopeful gaze with eyes as cold as a winter night. He further explained to her, “I was still studying abroad seven years ago and returned home three years ago. Most people in the capital know this, so the man you're talking about isn't really me.”

“That's impossible, I remember exactly how you look. For me, you remain special—”

“Nona,” Mu Mingcheng interrupted his sentence with a serious tone of voice. “It is impolite to tell the wrong person that you recognize them. It is even more impolite to recognize the wrong person and tell them they are wrong.”

In fact, he wanted to reprimand her, saying that her family did not teach her manners, but he took into account that this strange woman had a blood relationship with her boyfriend, so he held back these words.

Mu Mingcheng entered the military academy at the age of eighteen and began to carry out his duties at the age of twenty. To the outside world, the Mu and Xu families announced to the public that he had gone abroad to study.

The small-brained Cheng Xin who couldn't take a hint, flashed sensitive news and touched the point.

Mu Mingcheng was angry, but he could only contain his anger.

He remembered from the data he had received that the Cheng family was a second-rate family in the Imperial capital. Before, he had never heard of their names.

Perhaps his own social position was too high to recognize someone below.

The Mu Family was not only one of the top-ranked families in Z-country; they were also at the top of first-rate within the Imperial capital, which was far from the position of the Cheng family.

Disaster could result from a mispronounced word; the Cheng family had to take responsibility for failing to teach their daughter etiquette. After all, fighting with this second-rate family was an easy matter for him.

Yes, Mu Mingcheng had indeed just recognized Cheng Xin, but instead of remembering her as someone he had saved because of kindness, he had, he only recognized her because he read her information from the file Gu Jin had been investigating.

Does this girl seem to be her cousin and boyfriend? And not only that, the relationship between them seemed to be quite good?

Cheng Xin also paired the man who liked her, Shao Chong, with her boyfriend and cousin, Gu Jin.

Gu Jin even approved of the relationship; he clearly did not have the vision to choose her!
