I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 66: Very Offended
Elder Jing secretly thought that it was time she arranged some blind dates for Jing Hao. Not only should the woman be able to support, she should also be someone who does not humiliate her in front of others.
But dealing with this problem can be postponed for later. The most urgent task right now was to compensate Mu Mingcheng for their mistake and obtain his forgiveness.
Elder Jing said a few words to disperse the crowd. As the most senior person in the event, people listened to his words and were polite to him.
Not everyone could watch the joke that had just happened between Jing Hao and Mu Mingcheng. The audience dispersed one after another and continued to communicate with their business partners and friends.
The banquet was hot and noisy, but the eyes of the people would point to that one place consciously or unintentionally.
After the crowd dispersed, Mr. Jing ordered the waiter to bring some more drinks. He raised his glass and said with a smile, “Master Mu, my grandson's eyes do not know the height of Mount Tai, and have offended you. Please consider the reputation of this elder and forgive him for this time.”
After saying that, the elder winked at Jing Hao, hinting him toast apologizing.
Elder Jing thought: ‘Everyone says that Mu Mingcheng is a kind-hearted person, but who knows whether it is true or just pretenses.’ However, this old man in his seventies took the initiative to ask for his forgiveness in public. If Mu Mingcheng wanted to maintain his reputation, he would have to accept this cup of wine. Whether his virtue is true or not will be revealed from his acceptance.
But after some time, Jing Hao still did not move. The old man turned around and looked at Jing Hao coldly.
Jing Hao had been raised by this elder since childhood. The two of them had a tacit understanding, so he deeply understood the meaning of the old man's gaze.
Right now, making her apologize to another man her age left a sense of unease in her mouth; it would be embarrassing.
Jing Hao pursed his lips. Under the menacing gaze of the elder, he finally had to suppress his pride.
He took the wine cup from the servant tray and walked over to Mu Mingcheng with great difficulty. Jing Hao calmly said, “Master Mu, I couldn't recognize you before. That doesn't respect me.”
It was obvious how uncomfortable she felt, and she had to apologize for her inferior identity.
Gu Jin raised his eyebrows when he saw the blue veins protruding on the back of Jing Hao's hand. Power is a desirable thing; no wonder so many people are attracted to it.
“I dare not accept it,” Mu Mingcheng replied without glancing at Jing Hao. His eyes turned to the glass of wine offered to him and calmly said with a smile, “If you want to make amends, you better say it to my girlfriend.”
He turned to Gu Jin with a deep and gentle look and said, “My girlfriend is also used to being pampered. He should not serve others or follow them.”
Gu Jin tilted his head and looked at Jing Hao's dark expression. He pushed back the urge to massage his brows desperately, and instead, took a deep breath and smiled back at him.
He breathed internally on himself. Now that he had completely offended the male protagonist, let the storm come even fiercer.
