Chapter 533 Once A Darling, Always A Darling...
"Who told you, I have a problem?" Lu Feng asked.
"No one but I can understand my darling well," Jiang Yang replied, and Lu Feng just smiled.
Seeing Lu Feng not reacting to his 'darling' word, Jiang Yang asked, "Nowadays you say nothing even if I call you a darling."
"If I say something, does it make any difference and can it stop you?"
"No, it can't. Once a darling, always a darling." Saying, Jiang Yang put forward his glass and Lu Feng clinked his glass with his.
"Now tell me," Jiang Yang said.
"It's my mother," Lu Feng replied, having a sip and swirling the liquor in his glass.
"Hmm!" Jiang Yang didn't know what to ask him further.
Lu Feng never talked about his mother since Jiang Yang returned from the USA, it's been a year. It surprised Jiang Yang to see Lu Feng finally mentioned his mother. Jiang Yang already noticed something was not right between these mother and son, but whenever he thought to ask Lu Feng, he avoided it. Jiang Yang too didn't insist on him.
"My mother wants me to do something that I don't want to and which might spoil what I am trying to protect for so many years." Lu Feng continued even though Jiang Yang didn't ask. He looked like he wanted to get everything out of his mind.
"You should do what you feel right and what your heart says and I trust my darling that he won't ever take a wrong turn. I can bet on it."
Seeing how much Jiang Yang trusted him, Lu Feng felt glad. "Thank you so much for trusting me."
When both were talking and enjoying the drink for a long time, Lu Feng got a call and it was from his sister-in-law Qin Xiu. He received the call, and the next moment he stood up from the couch in a shock.
"What!" he exclaimed. He cut the call and Jiang Yang asked, "What happened?"
"They admit mother in hospital. I need to hurry." Saying Lu Feng stepped to go out of the room and Jiang Yang followed him. Seeing the attendant boy, Lu Feng said, "Put the bill on my tab" and left.
In the other private room of the same pub…
Ming Rusheng was drinking with his uncle while discussing what he planned to do further. Ming Rusheng drank a lot, so it didn't take him time to get drunk. Though Zhang Wei stopped him from drinking, he didn't listen.
Immersed in his thoughts, Ming Rusheng pulled out the mobile from his pocket and opened one picture. That was Jiang Yuyan's picture which he took secretly when he used to drop his sister Ming Lan to the university. In that picture she was talking to Ming Lan while standing outside of the university gate. She was smiling and trying to control her hair from moving along with the wind, her hand holding her hair on one side in front of her on shoulder while she was holding a book with her other hand, a bag hanging to her one shoulder.
She was wearing a delicate looking sleeveless, plain, lime color dress which was long just above her knees. A matching pair of sandals and no makeup. She looked innocent and pretty that how much he looked at her; it was not enough for him to capture her beauty into his eyes.
He zoomed out the picture so that only Jiang Yuyan was on his screen.
"Yuyan!" her name involuntarily came out, a smile painted on his lips while observing her picture.
"When will you stop thinking about her, Ming Rusheng?" Zhang Wei asked.
"Uncle, have you stopped thinking about my aunt even though she is dead?" This question from Ming Rusheng left his uncle with no words and Ming Rusheng said, "I saw you so many times looking at my aunt's picture and shading tears over her whenever you were alone in your room."
"She didn't marry anyone nor she had another man in her life, so everything about her belongs to me, her memories too." Zhang Wei replied.
"Should I think you are lucky that my aunt was single till she died and there was no man in her life or should I think I am lucky that I can at least see the woman I love and I can hope for one day she might come to me?" Ming Rusheng asked sarcastically.
"Why would she come to you?"
"You never know what surprises life can bring to someone," Ming Rusheng replied.
"What is in your mind, Ming Rusheng?" Zhang Wei asked, feeling worried if there was something evil in Ming Rushing's Mind.
"Every day in my mind, there is only one thing. How can I make that bastard Lu Qiang disappear from this world?" Ming Rusheng replied.
Zhang Wei exclaimed. "Ming Rusheng, get your thoughts straight. Never think about something like this."
Suddenly the door of the room opened, and someone spoke.
"Why are you stopping him, Zhang Wei? Isn't it normal for a man to think when the woman he likes is with another man. Don't tell me now you want to control his thoughts too."
Both Ming Rusheng and Zhang Wei looked at the door. Xi Cheng was standing there with his assistant standing behind him, out of the door.
"Damn! What an unpleasant sight!" Ming Rusheng exclaimed and averted his site from Xi Cheng. Zhang Wei was not happy to see him too but couldn't say anything.
Xi Cheng was in a pub, too. He saw Ming Rusheng and Lu Feng talking to each other when he was busy with the guests he was meeting there. He was curious to know what Ming Rusheng and Lu Feng were talking about but from the expression Lu Feng had, Xi Cheng could guess the talk was not going the way Ming Rusheng wanted and Lu Feng was always the stubborn man.
Xi Cheng wrapped his things faster with his guest and left the place to see Ming Rusheng and Zhang Wei. As he reached outside of the private room, an attendant opened the door who was carrying liquor with him to serve inside and Xi Cheng heard the conversation as he held the door from getting closed. Not waiting for much as there was an interesting conversation going inside, Xi Cheng stepped inside without asking for permission to enter.
