Chapter 259: The Two Unhappy People...
Soon the invitation cards were ready and reached to all the people who were being invited. All family members were excited and they were doing their best to make this day special. Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan's outfit were designed by An Tian who was excited to give his best for this lovely couple.
Invitation cards reached to Ming Mansion from Lus but as usual, no one was going to attend an engagement. Even though Zhang Jei wanted to go there but she didn't want to go against the will of elder Lu. Elder Lu didn't say anyone to not go there but those were unspoken words from him.
A day before engagement…
Lu Qing's elder cousin Lu Han arrived with his wife Qin Xiu to the mansion to attend the engagement.
"Finally my stubborn brother is in love and he is getting engaged," Lu Han said when he saw Lu Qiang in a living room.
"How are you elder cousin?" Lu Qiang smiled to see Lu Han and asked.
"I am good but I think you are better than before. Love made magic for you," Lu Han replied with a teasing smile.
Lu Qiang just smiled and Lu Han said again, "Anyways congrats, Lu Qiang. I am happy for you."
Qin Xiu Was standing beside Lu Han and said, "Congratulations, Lu Qiang."
After chatting for a while Qin Xiu Went to her mother-in-law Su Hui's room as she couldn't find her anywhere out in the mansion. Su Hui was sitting in a chair quietly staring outside of the window, thinking about something.
Qin Xiu knocked on the door and went inside. She stood beside Su Hui and asked, "How are you, mother?"
"How can I be?" Su Hui answered unhappily without looking at her and still staring outside.
Qin Xiu noticed, her mother-in-law was upset and asked worriedly, "Why are you, upset mother. Did something happen?"
Su Hui closed her eyes, sighed and replied, "Not yet but soon it will happen."
"What do you mean mother?"
Lu Qiang is getting engaged with the daughter of Jiang Peizhi. What could be worse than this?" Su Hui replied calmly.
"But she looks like a nice girl," Qin Xiu said.
"I don't care about how she is but the problem is she is from Jiang family," Su Hui replied with an annoyed tone.
"Why? What is the problem with it mother?" Qin Xiu asked as she was unaware of whet Su Hui was thinking.
"Brother Lu Jinhai already dotes on Jiang Peizhi even more than his own brother and now if his daughter becomes a part of this family and the queen of this mansion then soon we would be forgotten here."
"Really mother? But uncle Lu Jinhai loves father. We can see this," Qin Xui said.
Just as everyone Qin Xiu too was aware of how much Lu Jinhai valued his brother which Su Hui never wanted to accept because of her jealousy towards Jiang family. She never liked the way Lu Jinhai gave them the importance and felt left out always. Not just Lu Jinhai, elders were the same and allowed Jiang Peizhi to call them like his own parents.
"Hmm! But that love will vanish soon and we won't be able to do anything about it."
"Don't worry mother. You have two sons to take care of you," Qin Xui said to console her.
"I know but no one can beat Lu Qiang for power, in this house."
"Lu Feng can," Qin Xiu was aware of the capability of Lu Feng as Lu Han told her how talented he was in his high school and university days, even more than Lu Qiang.
"Hmm! But he is not interested. I wish if anyone of my son would be as capable as him," She said with sad expressions on her face.
Su Hui was the only person who was not happy with this engagement but she was helpless and couldn't stop it as it was Lu Qiang's decision which no one would dare to change.
In the night at the most famous pub in the city….
Other than Su Hui, there was one more person who was unhappy with this engagement between Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan and he was feeling frustrated with it as not being able to do anything. He was drowning himself in a sea of alcohol emptying one after another bottle.
He was emptying one more bottle; just then someone came and stopped him from drinking more by holding the bottle. Frowning because of the sudden disturbance he looked up with his heavy eyes which he could not open completely. When he somehow recognize the person he asked, "Uncle Zhang Wei! What are you doing here?"
"I came here for you," saying it, he pulled a bottle from Ming Rusheng's hands and kept it on the table. He sat beside him on a couch and said, "I knew, you would be here when you were not receiving my calls."
Ming Rusheng was drunk but he was able to understand what his uncle was saying and asked in his drunken voice, "Why were you calling me, uncle. I want to be alone."
"Because I don't want you to be like me, Ming Rusheng," Zhang Wei replied with worry for Ming Rusheng on his face.
"Like you? Huh? W..What's bad in you, uncle" For me..you..are..the besttt…person in this word," Ming Rusheng said it while trying to handle his broken speech and hugged his uncle.
Zhang Wei was startled with this but he understood Ling Rusheng's condition and let him do what he wanted to. Ming Rusheng put his face on his uncle's shoulders and said again with his eyes closed and not being able to say anything clearly, "You…You are… better than my father. W..Whenever I was in trouble, y…you were… always there."
Zhang Wei felt emotional with these words and patted Ming Rusheng's back. He was sad to see him like this as he always considered Ming Rusheng like his own son.
