The same evening there was a party from the foreign company, whose bidding was won by Lu Qiang in the morning. They invited all the businessmen and arranged the party in the lavish hotel in the city.
Jiang Yuyan would accompany Lu Qiang and it would be her first appearance in any corporate party as Mrs. Lu Qiang. When Mr. and Mrs. Lu Qiang entered the party hall, others couldn't help but look at this adorably stylish couple. All the women were observing the most pretty woman in the hall who just arrived wearing a stylish black evening gown holding Lu Qiang's arm who was wearing a black suit.
Ming Rusheng who was also present there couldn't help but feel salty, looking at both of them together. Xi Cheng went to Ming Rusheng and commented.
"Aren't they impressive together? Simply made for each other."
Ming Rushen avoided saying anything about it, so Xi Cheng continued. "If you were there, it would have been even better."
"Stop talking about useless things, Xi Cheng." Ming Rusheng said coldly.
"The way you call me just as Xi Cheng, makes me wonder if you take me as a close friend of yours."
"There is another category of people older than me whom I call just with their names."
"Which one?" Xi Cheng asked curiously.
"Whom I don't respect even a bit," Ming Rusheng replied.
Xi Cheng left out a soft chuckle. "I don't wish to get respect from you as I already got what I wanted."
"Don't raise your hopes too much. It's just for a short period and later I don't wish to see you often."
"I wish the same," said Xi Cheng.
When the party was going on, Ming Rusheng couldn't help but drink more while looking at how Jiang Yuyan was happy with Lu Qiang and how both were talking to everyone. His sight fixed on her face, the way her eyes looked bright and that pretty smile on her lips, enough to melt anyone's heart. Her hand in Lu Qiang's hands wherever they went.
Not realizing the jealousy overtaking his heart, Ming Rusheng was falling for drinking more and more.
"Young master, you should drink less at such events as it will leave a bad impression on the people here with whom we have business dealings." The assistant tried to stop him, but Ming Rusheng was being stubborn.
"Business is a different matter and it has nothing to do with what I do in my life. They should just earn money and shut their mouth."
The old assistant said nothing as he could see Ming Rusheng won't listen to him.
After meeting with everyone there and marking his presence, Ming Rusheng was not willing to see the love and affection shown by the couple. He left the hall and went to the corridor, which opened onto the huge lawn. The fresh air outside made him feel relieved and he thought to stay there while the assistant was doing his job of representing Ming Industries in Ming Rusheng's absence by dealing with the people there.
The assistant was working with Ming Yuesheng since long and everyone around was familiar with him so it was easy for him to handle and answer others, all of his experience of being in the business world talked.
Jiang Yuyan was busy with Lu Qiang, visiting and talking to the different people from the business world. When both finally found a few moments of peace, Lu Qiang spoke.
"All these people you met today are important for our business so remember them always as you might have to deal with them one day."
"When I have such an amazing husband who is handling the business in the best way, I don't think there is a need for me to know them as I won't be stepping in your office to do business."
"What if one day I fall sick and I would want you to look after the business?" Lu Qiang asked.
Jiang Yuyan frowned to hear it. "I won't let you fall sick so don't say such negative things. You are one healthy man and I can say it from the way you trouble me when we are alone."
"That's true, but still I want my woman to know everything. It would be helpful whenever you will accompany me at such parties. You are Mrs. Lu Qiang so you should know all these things. This way it would be easy for you to know what we are talking about instead of standing here blankly."
"Hmm! For the sake of being your wife, I will try to do whatever you want from me. Happy?"
"Very much. Such an obedient wife I got." Lu Qiang commented.
"I need to use the washroom."
"Let me take you."
"Hmm!" Just as Lu Qiang was about to move with her, the man came there. "President Lu!"
It was a middle-aged foreigner man, seeing whom Lu Qiang had a smile on his face. "Mr Charls, Nice to see you here."
Looked like both knew each other dearly the way both were happy to see each other. Jiang Yuyan didn't want to disturb them, so after Lu Qiang introduced her to the man, she excused herself and Lu Qiang allowed her.
Jiang Yuyan stepped out of the hall to go to the corridor as the way to washroom was through the corridor.
Ming Rusheng was standing at the steps which led the way to the lawn out. Those were just 3 steps, so it didn't take him time to be on the lawn. Standing there, he saw Jiang Yuyan coming out of the hall and walking into the corridor.
As she reached near where he was standing, he called her, "Yuyan!"
Yuyan halted in her tracks and looked at the source of the voice. "Brother Rusheng!"
As she stopped, he asked, "Are you enjoying the party?"
She hummed standing at the stairs while he was standing on the grass, just a few steps away from her.
