I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 106: Jing Family Conflict (1)
Jing Family.
Inside the spacious and bright room, several landscape paintings and valuable calligraphy adorned the walls. The main hall of the house is decorated with antique furniture.
On the mahogany tea table, the purple clay kettle displayed a certain elegance and glory. Next to the teapot were several cups that emitted light steam. The fragrance of the tea permeated the entire room, creating a refreshing aroma.
It should be a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, but in reality, the current atmosphere was silent and frightening.
After some time, a dry hand touched the cup.
Elder Jing sat on a chair in the middle of the hall. Her gray Tang suit was simple without embroidery, but even with her age, she was still full of spirit. His cloudy eyes and white hair did not weaken his momentum and instead added to his intimidating aura. Just by sitting there without a word, he could make the person in front of him feel an overwhelming pressure.
As time passed, less and less steam came out of the cup. The few Jing descendants beside him did not dare to breathe, let alone stare directly into his fierce eyes.
The older one, Mr. Jing slowly raised the cup to his mouth but he did not drink it. The cup was “berderak” on the table, and everyone was scared.
The old man looked up solemnly and said: “Jing Hao, what have you done behind me?”
He knows his grandson well. This grandson has a small and vindictive heart and will settle his grudges by cheating. He must have felt humiliated when he had to submit to Mu Mingcheng before, so it was no wonder that he was replying to the man.
But is Mu Mingcheng a person you can make enemies with? The Mu family has been in the country for hundreds of years and their foundation is firmly entrenched. With the current strength of the Jing family, can they uproot the Mu family in one night?
In the past, Jing Hao had never experienced any difficulties along the way, but now his thoughts were confused by a woman. If this granddaughter saw another person with her woman, it was easy for her to feel uneasy and act in an unsightly manner.
“Grandfather,” Jing Hao stood respectfully before him. He replied expressionlessly: “I really didn't do it.”
Jing Hao was very dissatisfied with Mu Mingcheng, especially that day during the banquet. He noticed that Cheng Xin's eyes would unconsciously follow Mu Mingcheng's figure, even as the man left.
After Jing Hao asked some urgent questions to his girlfriend, Cheng Xin finally told the truth. He said that Mu Mingcheng was the man of his dreams when he was young.
Jing Hao's heart shivered when he heard that he liked the man. He never imagined that Cheng Xin and Mu Mingcheng had such a relationship.
In the past, Cheng Xin was so warm and persistent as she chased after Jing Hao. Jing Hao's silent and cold heart was finally touched. Although he might find many good things in his life, he finally decided to open his heart and just chase after her.
Now that he knew everything, it seemed that Cheng Xin had almost escaped her nest for the others. Because of that, Jing Hao decided to close his eyes at the sad gaze of his girlfriend.
Maybe they all need time to calm down.
Jing Hao felt increasingly dissatisfied with Mu Mingcheng. His career was not as great as he and his beloved woman had once liked the man. It seemed that Jing Hao and Mu Mingcheng were not only rivals in business, but also in love. They were destined to live or die at the hands of the other party!
But even though Jing Hao held an irreconcilable grudge with Mu Mingcheng, he would not provoke the man while he had no power.
“Oh,” said Mr. Jing while sneering. “You mean Mu Mingcheng waited a few days before replying?”
As a dignified president who has encountered all walks of life, isn't it too embarrassing to bow your head and wait for an opportunity before finishing the calculations?
