Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 885 Cunning Old Man...

Ming Rusheng’s assistant led Lu Lian’s way to the elevator, and soon they reached the floor Of Ming Rusheng’s office.

The moment she entered the floor, she looked around and thought, ’the person who built and designed this building did an excellent job on not just the outside look but the insides too.

When she came here in the past, she was young and just started university who couldn’t bother noticing things. Moreover, there were lots of changes made from how it was in the past. Being a good architect, she could catch even the tiny detail, and here everything seems perfect to her.

’No wonder they are best in this business,’ she thought.

There was a separate reception area on that floor where two receptionists bowed to her as they could guess this new woman was someone special because their boss’s assistant brought her there.

Lu Lian’s eyes never stopped noticing anything, as if she came here for the first time. The reception area to the gallery was attached to the floor, allowing plenty of sunlight to enter the floor to brighten it up.

’I didn’t notice it last time, so many things changed and everything so perfect,’ she thought.

The assistant knocked on the door and then opened it to let Lu Lian enter the office. Sighing deeply, she entered, but the moment she saw elder Ming sitting on the sofa in the office, she controlled herself and smiled lightly at elder Ming.

Holding his cane, elder Ming stood up to welcome her as he smiled at her too. He looked at the pretty young lady who looked adorable, and her pleasant smile made him feel happy.

Lu Lian wore a white full sleeves tank top, which fitted her perfectly and paired with the dark beige color knee-length skirt and black heels.

Her black hair, having a golden brown color streak, left open, parted on one side. Her black eyes, full of warmth for the one more grandpa of her, brightened like the stars.

The way she carried herself, full of confidence yet so elegant, and the upbringing she had already turned into a noble-looking young lady.

"Welcome, dear," elder Ming went to her.

"Thank You, grandpa."

"Have a seat," elder Ming turned to the couch, leading her way.

Lu Lian’s sight wandered around the office, and she noticed that Ming Rusheng was not there. She remembered her last conversation with Ming Rusheng in the same office. Giving out a sigh of relief, thinking he was not there, she followed the elder Ming. Just then, the office’s door opened, and Ming Rusheng entered.

Elder Ming sat on the couch while Lu Lian looked at the person who just entered the office, and their sights met.

Lu Lian, who just felt relieved thinking he was not there, now stared at him, and he did the same, but immediately both averted their sights. Lu Lian went to sit on the couch while Ming Rusheng heard his grandpa talking.

"Project is final now," Ming Rusheng replied.

"Hmm, have a seat. We have something to talk about, "Elder Ming instructed, and both young people sat on one the couch.

Lu Lian sat facing the elder Ming while Ming Rusheng sat perpendicular to both as he could see them. Lu Lian was glad that he didn’t sit in front of her so she could ignore him as if he didn’t exist.

"I am glad you are ready to work here. We need talented people like you," Elder Ming directly jumped to the conclusion that made Lu Lian open her eyes wide.

’When did I agree to work here? I am just here because grandpa and father insisted on me to visit,’ she could think but couldn’t say it aloud.

"Grandpa, I am still new and need to learn so many things. I don’t...."

"I like how humble you are, but this grandpa also knows how capable you are. If there is more to learn, you should learn here as we are family," Elder Ming interrupted her.

She felt choked and didn’t know how to say I don’t want to work here, but the words betrayed her.

Ming Rusheng was aware of what was going on in her mind, and he smiled, seeing her like this. The girl who once confronted him like a tigress, leaving him speechless, was now like a pitiful kitten who couldn’t say what she wanted.

He found this side of her adorable as he could see it was not like she was scared, but she didn’t want to disappoint elders by saying no to their requests, and it showed how she respects her elders.

"So, since when will you start working? It’s okay if you delay it as you are home after so long," elder Ming suggested.

She nodded, "I will think about it..."

"But there is one of the best projects we have, and it would be better if you assist Rusheng. This way, you will learn more," Elder Ming again interrupted her, and she swallowed her words she was about to say.

Ming Rusheng somehow refrained from smiling but thought, ’Poor girl and cunning old man.’

Not giving her a chance to say anything, the elder Ming looked at his grandson, "What do you say, Rusheng?"

"It’s a great opportunity to learn," Ming Rusheng replied.

The elder Ming then looked at Lu Lian, who tried to control how disappointed she was to think she had to work with the man she didn’t like a bit.

"Dear, the project is massive where they plan to build a business park for multinational companies, a shopping mall, and a community center in one place and so many more things. It would be best if you did not miss this golden chance as we are working with some foreign companies which are also the best in this sector. You will get an opportunity to work with both side experts," Elder Ming informed.

Lu Lian lost all hopes of saying no as she could see elder Ming was adamant about making her work here, and she had no other option.

"Understood grandpa," she said unwillingly.

Ming Rusheng didn’t know whether he should feel bad for her, or he should think his grandpa was doing the right thing and stayed silent just to hear his grandpa again.

"Rusheng, it’s your responsibility to look after her even if you are busy," elder Lu declared.

"Yes, grandpa," he said as his sight passed the girl who sat quietly.

They talked about a few things for a while, and Lu Lian informed, "I will take a leave, grandpa."

"Hmm, it’s late," then he looked at Ming Rushneg, "See her off."

"No need. I can go, grandpa."

"I know, but it’s only right if he does it. You are a family, after all," elder Ming insisted.

She agreed again by keeping silent while Ming Rusheng stood up, ready to obey his grandfather’s order.

Lu Lian stood up too and bowed to elder Ming to say goodbye to hear elder Ming say something surprising again.

"See you tomorrow, dear."

She looked at elder Ming in surprise again as she cried in her mind, ’Wait, tomorrow. When did we decide the day? Isn’t it so early?’

Stopping her crying thoughts, she replied, "Y-Yes, grandpa."

Ming Rusheng stepped towards the door, and Lu Lian followed him.

Looking at their retreating backs, the mysterious smile painted on elder Ming’s lips.

The moment these two left, elder Ming pulled out his cellphone and dialed the number, only to hear the person on the other side of the line even before he could say hello.

"How did it go, my friend," asked the man on the other side of the line.

"Do you doubt my skills, my friend," elder Ming spoke as he smiled ear to ear.

"Looks like you trapped my grand-daughter perfectly."

Elder Ming laughed a little, "For the sake of my grandson."

"Let’s meet today."

"Hmm, our usual place," said elder Ming and hung up the call.

-----------

Ming Rushing and Lu Lian stepped outside of the office, and his assistant walked ahead of them to call the elevator.

Ming Rusheng and Lu Lian stepped inside as the assistant left. Lu Lian was silent and followed him like an obedient girl. They were alone in the elevator standing side by side, and the silence was killing Lu Lian.

"My grandpa, trapped you," Ming Rushing commented.

"Huh?" she looked at him, puzzled.

"Seems like he wants to make you his granddaughter-in-law," Ming Rusheng replied calmly, not looking at her.

"What the f....I mean...Nevermind," she felt lost for words as she almost spurted out the curse words, and Ming Rusheng smiled.

"It’s not possible," she declared.

"I know. Just go along with the flow. In the end, the decision is in your hand," he instructed.

’Why this man is acting so good today,’ she thought.

"Hmm, it’s sad I will disappoint them," she commented.

"Let’s see," he spoke.

"What do you..."

The elevator door opened, and Ming Rushing stepped out as he waited for her to come out.

The moment everyone saw their boss walking to go out of the building with one woman, they were surprised. It was the first time they saw him with any woman and couldn’t help but stare at the couple.

Ignoring the curious gazes on them, both walked out and Ming Rusheng asked, "Did you bring a car? If not, ill ask my driver to take you back home."

"Hmm, I brought the car," she informed.

Lu Lian sat in her car and left and Ming Rusheng continued looking at it till the car disappeared from his sight.
