Chapter 970 - I Apologise...

Ming Rusheng could see Lu Lian’s side view from where he sat, but she couldn’t see him. His eyes didn’t want to leave her sight as he observed her. Seeing her side view was enough for him to get her condition. Her face looked pale, and her eyes tired, which showed how weak she had turned.

’Once she is back, I won’t let her work at all,’ thought Ming Rusheng.

"How are you feeling, dear?" Elder Ming asked.

"Now, I’m fine, grandpa," Lu Lian answered.

"Is Rusheng making you work more? If so, tell me," elder Ming asked.

This question startled her, "N-No, grandpa."

"Then?"

Though Lu Lian was upset with Ming Rusheng at the moment and thought to hate him, she couldn’t blame someone else for her reckless actions even when the person had warned her so many times and took care of her.

"I was soaked in rain so..."

"He was with you, so he should have taken care of you," elder Ming spoke.

Lu Lijun looked at Ming Rusheng and then at his brothers, who looked as surprised as him. They didn’t know Lu Lian and Ming Rusheng were together.

Lu Lian felt guilty that blame was going on Ming Rusheng while she was the one at fault for letting herself drench in the rain.

"It’s not Mr. Ming’s fault..."

"Don’t defend him. I know him well. He must have been busy with his work and ignored you. He even dared to return alone, leaving you there," spoke elder Ming.

Lu Lian didn’t know what to say over it. Hearing it, Lu Lijun’s intuition got stronger that Ming Rusheng didn’t care for his sister.

Ming Rusheng was silent as he accepted his fault while the others didn’t know what to say.

"Ming Shihong, there must be something important that he had to return," Elder Lu commented, smiling pleasantly, trying to ease the situation.

"What can be more important than Lian?" elder Ming asked.

"I apologize," Ming Rusheng spoke.

"You better. Next time I don’t want to see her sick," Elder Ming spoke.

"There won’t be next time. Elder sister will resign once the current project is done," Lu Lijun said, which shocked everyone.

He looked at Ming Rusheng, "I don’t want her to trouble herself dealing with the things that one good company should have provided her easily, but she had to go there personally and went through the troubles. This is not the way to treat the employee."

Lu Jinhai looked at his son, "Lu Lijun, you should not talk like this...."

"I agree with him," elder Ming spoke, "She had to go through unnecessary trouble and ended up falling sick. I won’t force her to work in Ming industries.

"Uncle Ming, he is still young to understand the things," Lu Jinhai countered.

Lu Lian herself was conflicted. It was not like she didn’t wish to work, but what happened between her and Ming Rusheng and how he treated her after that made her stay quiet and accept the elders’ decision.

’It would be better as I don’t wish to see this rude man ever again,’ she thought.

Everyone was calm, not knowing what to say. Just then, someone, who was calm for long as if she was not there, finally spoke.

"It’s up to Lian what she wants to do. We should not meddle in her life," Jiang Yuyan suggested.

Before Lu Lijun could say a word, Jiang Yuyan looked at him, who sat on her right side and said, "Everyone has to go through it when it comes to working. One should keep personal feelings and worry separate from work." (f)reewebnovel

Lu Lijun stayed silent, understanding the meaning of her words, and looked at his sister, who spoke, "It’s no one’s fault. It was my passion to do something that led me there. Anyone can fall sick."

Lu Lian didn’t want anyone to blame Ming Rusheng. Also, Jiang Yuyan was right, so Lu Lian spoke, but she thought to leave the Ming Industries once the project was done. For that, she had to find a better excuse that would come out clean and wouldn’t hurt anyone’s feelings.

"That’s my granddaughter," said elder Lu as he looked at his friend, "Why are you so worked up, Ming Shihong. Don’t you know Rusheng went there so he could help Lian, or that stubborn old man, Jia Wang, would have never allowed her to enter his home? So thoughtful of your grandson. He even stayed there for her sake."

Lu Lian looked at Ming Rusheng finally as to what she thought was right.

Ming Rusheng sighed as he didn’t wish this thing to be said like this and thought, ’These old men would never keep anything to themselves.

"The project deadline is close by, so I just wanted things to move faster and nothing else," said Ming Rusheng.

That made sense to Lu Lian as she was sure he wouldn’t trouble himself for her sake. Others, too, didn’t pay much attention to it other than two sly old men who didn’t comment further.

Lu Han and Lu Feng stayed silent too, but their brains could sense the situation while Lu Lijun didn’t wish to understand anything good done by Ming Rusheng. For him, he was the one who he wouldn’t welcome ever.

After some talk from here and there, the Mings were ready to leave. Elder Ming stood up as he patted Lu Lian’s head, "Take care."

"Yes, grandpa."

Saying the same thing to his granddaughter Jiang Yuyan, elder Ming headed towards along with elder Lu and Jiang Yuyan as others followed them.

Ming Rusheng shook hands with Lu Feng and Lu Han, "See you."

Lu Han and Lu Feng smiled and did the same. But the one guy was stubborn who didn’t even look at Ming Rusheng and went to his sister.

"You are not well. You should go back to your room," Lu Lijun said, and Lu Lian nodded.

With this, Ming Rusheng lost his chance to talk to Lu Lian as he thought to ask her to take care and not think about the work anymore.

Lu Lijun took Lu Lian upstairs as she didn’t even spare a glance to Ming Rusheng, and he could guess why. After all, he was at fault.

’I must be a real jerk in her eyes now,’ he thought and looked back at Lu Feng and Lu Han, "I’ll take a leave," and stepped towards the door as Lu brothers followed him.
