Chapter 1297 Searching For A Junior
Once the bride and groom’s clothes were decided, it was the turn for Ming Rusheng and Lu Lian. Ming Rusheng waited for Lu Lian to show up after she put on her dress but after a long time, she returned in the same dress.”You didn’t try your dress?” Ming Rusheng asked.
”I did.”
”You didn’t like it?” he asked again.
”I sure did. Clothes designed by Brother An Tian are always up to my liking,” she replied.
”Glad to know it, Milady,” An Tian said as the two smiled looking at each other affectionately.
Ming Rusheng gave a narrowed-eyed look to An Tian and then looked at Lu Lian, “No need to praise him. It’s his job to satisfy his customers or no one would come to him.”
Cough! An Tian cleared his throat, “I smell smoke here like something is burning,” and looked at Wen Zac and Ming Lan, “Did you tow smell it?”
”It’s really strong to not smell it,” Wen Zac replied as he had a teasing smile on his lips.
”True,” Ming Lan added, only to get a cold glare from her brother.
”Calm down, okay. Lian is like my younger sister,” An Tian said, “But if I can make you jealous like this, I don’t mind forgetting that she is a sister.”
”You dare. Seems like you don’t like your business going well at all,” Ming Rusheng warned.
An Tian pointed towards the two friends, “You two, why do you have to come to harm my business? How am I gonna make pretty ladies look even prettier?”
”True, you two stay away from brother Tian. Other than dresses designed by him, I don’t wear any other brand,” Lu Lian warned.
”I don’t mind you being without clothes. The only thing that would happen is that you won’t be allowed to step out of our room,” Ming Rusheng said.
Lu Lian looked at Ming Lan. “Won’t you say anything as you too like the dresses of this brand only?”
Ming Lan looked at Wen Zac who looked back at her. She didn’t dare say she won’t wear another brand and she won’t be able to take it if Wen Zac has to say the same thing as her brother, “That’s true but being in the wilderness, I am not choosy now. I am fine with anything.”
”Fine. If we are done here, let’s leave,” Wen Zac instructed.
When they were leaving, An Tian whispered something to Lu Lian to which she giggled a little and then said bye to An Tian while still smiling ear to ear.
Ming Rusheng noticed it but left with Wen Zac not saying anything. Lu Lian joined Ming Lan as the two followed their men.
Once they reached the parking lot, Ming Lan asked, “What did he whisper to you.”
Ming Rusheng acted as if he was not interested but his ears were ready to catch what she would say.
Lu Lian smiled and said, “Brother Tian said you got the man who has all the qualities of brother Qiang, especially the way of getting jealous over anything.”
”Well, that’s true,” Ming Lan said while Ming Rusheng ignored them and sat in the car.
Wen Zac was waiting for Ming Lan in his car and saw her whispering something to Lu Lian.
Before leaving, Ming Lan whispered to Lu Lian, “You are lucky to have my brother. Though he is jealous, it shows he loves you. while there is no such thing in my life. So be glad to have a husband like my brother.”
”Don’t think like that. I am sure brother Wen will be the same once you two start knowing each other better.”
”No need. I will just focus on my work instead of expecting anything,” Ming Lan said and turned to leave.
Lu Lian only sighed at her ignorant friend who didn’t even wish to try anything as if she was just getting married for the sake of it. ‘I wish you to fall hard in love, that you won’t be able to get up and run away from your husband,’ Lu Lian said in her mind as she looked at her friend sitting in Wen Zac’s car.

A few days passed by when Mings and Wens were busy preparing for the wedding which was at the door. The Jiang couple informed the Lu family about Jiang Yuyan’s approval to get engaged with Alex but her condition was to keep it between the families and avoid the attention from the media people.
During these days, Lu Lijun stayed at Lu Feng’s home and Jiang Yuyan stayed with her parents. Both used to go to the office from there and returned home and didn’t talk with each other unless it was something work-related.
——
In the night Jiang Yuyan received a few pictures from San Zemin about Lu Lijun. San Zemin didn’t often send her pictures except for the moments when he felt his boss should know about something and before sending he always discussed it with Xiao Min.
Jiang Yuyan saw the pictures of Lu Lijun shaking hands with a man and a young girl. In a few pictures, it shows the girl and Lu Lijun were talking. With a closer look, Jiang Yuyan recognized the man and girl. They were the siblings.
”What are they doing with Lu Lijun,” Jiang Yuyan frowned and she dialed San Zemin’s number. Even before San Zemin could say a word, she asked, “What is it in these pictures and why Lu Lijun is with them?”
”It seems like a coincidental meeting but later they talked for long,” San Zemin informed.
”You know what kind of a family is that. Try to keep those siblings away from Lu Lijun. We don’t want any trouble before he becomes president.”
”Boss, we know we can’t stop him from doing anything. That’s why I prefer to send these pictures to make you aware of them. I think the boss should talk to him personally and warn him,” San Zemin suggested.
”Was it the first meeting only?” Jiang Yuyan asked.
”Yes, if there is another such incident, we can think it’s not just a coincidence,” San Zemin added.
”Inform me,” Jiang Yuyan ordered, and then she dialed Xiao Min’s contact number as she thought, ‘This can’t be coincident.”
The moment Xiao Min received the call, she spoke, “Get me all the updates about what’s going on in Han Yufan’s family and his business.”
As if Xiao Min had already expected this, he said, “I am working on it.”
”I want it by morning at any cost,” she instructed.
”Yes, boss,” Xiao Min assured.
——
On Xiao Min’s side, the man sitting in front of him asked, “Finally, you received the order from your boss?”
”Mr. Li, just answer me what I have asked about the Han family. I am sure you have all the updates as Xi businesses are working with them for long.”
”They are just our business partners and we are not bound to know their personal affairs,” Shen Li replied.
”I am sure you do as I know your way of working,” Xiao Min countered.
Shen Li looked at him for a while and said, “I wish you knew how my heart works.”
”Mr. Li, we are here for some business talk.”
”Fine! Business talk it is then. And as I follow business ethics, I can’t reveal things about our business partners and clients to some other company. You should know that Xiao Min.”
”I thought you will tell me as it’s important.”
”Will you leak anything if you were in my place?” Shen Li asked.
”No…But….”
”You know how I work so you should not have expected me to tell anything to the assistant of President Lu.”
Xiao Min sighed helplessly but just then heard Shen Li, “But I can tell it to my junior who I met after so long and can’t stop gossiping with him while we enjoy the drink. In a drunk state, anything can be said as we lose control over our minds. And if the person is your lover, then it’s highly impossible to not tell anything to him.”
Xiao Min looked at Shen Li in disbelief.
Shen Li looked around and said, “I am searching for my junior who loves me like crazy and I love him too. have you seen him, Mr. Xiao Min?”
Xiao Min was helpless when it came to helping his boss and the Lu family and he gave up in front of Shen Li. “Fine!…Senior…”
Shen Li looked at him, “Oh! You were here and I was searching for you here and there.”
Not having the option but to tolerate this demanding senior, Xiao Min spoke, “Yes, Senior.”
”How have you been?” She Li asked.
Since the moment they met, Xiao Min only acted like assistant Xiao Min and Shen Li could not talk to him normally to ask about him. They were meeting like this after a long and he didn’t wish to let go of this chance to spend some time with Xiao Min.
