They started the meeting about the project where along with Jessica, a few others from her company joined in. The meeting lasted for more than two hours as there were so many aspects to look into. In the end when they agreed on all the things related to the project, finally it was over.

Jessica looked at Jiang Yuyan, “I got to learn from you today, President Lu.” In her eyes, there was admiration for Jiang Yuyan for how this woman suggested things so efficiently when they had doubts. No wonder she was among the famous business personalities.

Jiang Yuyan simply nodded and said, “I believe you will do best with this project.”

“I will try my best,” the young lady assured and said, “No wonder my father was so keen on this project with Lu Corporations. It’s really good to be able to work with you and learn so many things.”

“You better make uncle proud,” Jake said.

“That is the goal. I want my father to feel proud about me like how they all praise you,” she said and offered, “I would like to treat you all to lunch. Please don’t say no.”

“Well, not a bad idea. I am sure you will empty your pocket,” Jake said before anyone could deny her offer and then looked at others for a formality.

As Jake had already said yes, others could not say no to it.

After finishing everything, they left for lunch in half an hour. They reached the nearby luxurious hotel where a private room was booked for them for lunch.

The British man in a black suit came to greet them, “Ms Brown, welcome.”

That hotel belonged to the Brown family and everything was booked in advance as instructed by Jessica. Just as they entered the reception area, familiar figures caught Lu Lijun’s attention.

“What happened?” Noah asked and looked at where Lu Lijun was looking at.

Noah noticed a pretty woman in a light blue dress. “Sister Lian and if I am not wrong that handsome man is….”

“Ming Rusheng,” Lu Lijun said coldly.

Jiang Yuyan saw them too and said, “They are here on a business trip.”

“Then, why didn’t she bother to inform me that she is here,” Lu Lijun said and walked towards the two who were talking with one of the staff in the hotel.

“Elder sister,” Lu Lijun called.

Lu Lian felt shocked to see him there but then collected herself, “Lu Lijun, what a pleasant surprise. I …”

“I should be the one to say that line,” Lu Lijun countered, making her nervous around him. “Seems like hotel rooms are more comfortable for you than our home here.”

“I..I was about to inform you after we are finished with business things,” she explained.

Ming Rusheng, who finished talking with the hotel manager, came to them, “Lu Lijun, good to see you.” he was cool about seeing Lu Lijun there opposite to how Lu Lian was. She found a chance to escape, “Oh, Yuyan. Let me talk to her first,” and hurried to leave her brother’s clutches.

Lu Lijun who looked at his sister then looked back at Ming Rusheng, “Since when you two are in England?”

“Since yesterday morning,” he replied and said before Lu Lijun could ask more questions, “Instead of paying attention to my woman and scaring her, you better pay attention to your woman. I bet she will like it more.”

“I have a right to pay attention to my sister as well,” Lu Lijun countered with the same cold tone.

“Then I should do the same. Though Yuyan is not my real sister, she is still my distant cousin. I am sure my grandpa would like to know which young man is troubling his granddaughter.”

“You can tell your grandfather that she is in fact happy.”

“Same with your sister. She is happy,” Ming Rusheng countered and looked at the two women talking, “Lian didn’t inform you because she knew she would have to stay at your home. She wanted you to only pay attention to Yuyan because having family members around though they understand you, can be uncomfortable sometimes. If not for you, but might be for Yuyan. She wished Yuyan to be with you without being bothered by the presence of family members.”

Lu Lijun understood what Ming Rusheng explained to him and said, “You better take care of my sister.”

“You don’t even have to say it,” Ming Rusheng added.

“Join us for lunch then,” Lu Lijun offered.

Ming Rusheng nodded, “I can’t take your chance of spending time with your sister.”

The two went to where others were standing. Lu Lian saw Lu Lijun and Ming Rusheng were together and everything looked fine between them and sighed with relief.

“I will visit home once we finish with the business thing,” Lu Lian said.

Lu Lijun nodded, “Fine.”

Ming Rusheng and Jiang Yuyan talked while Jessica, who was talking to her friends who suddenly came across her, excused her friends and came to them as she was smiling like they were talking about something interesting.

“Why do I feel like they were talking about President Lu?” Noah said to Lu Lijun.

“Wherever she goes, no one can deny her presence. Such an effect she has,” Lu Lijun replied.

“Wife’s slave,” Noah mumbled.

“There is someone who is ready to be your slave,” Lu Lijun commented.

“Shut your mouth,” Noah glared at him while Jake only smiled and Xiao Min acted as if he heard nothing.

They reached the private room. Around the huge circular table, the chairs were arranged in pairs of two. When they were sitting, Jessica moved Jake to sit next to Jiang Yuyan while she herself sat next to Lu Lijun. Ming Rusheng and Lu Lian sat together and Noah and Xiao Min sat together.

Jake sighed, ‘My smart cousin is trying to hook me up with the wrong person.’

Jake looked at Jiang Yuyan who was sitting next to her and said, “She is sometimes like a teenage girl.”

“It’s fine. Be comfortable,” Jiang Yuyan assured as she didn’t mind sitting next to Jake.
